Chapter 57 - Wildfire

[WOC! The MC and Wende transformed at the same time! SO COOL!!]

[AHHHHHHHHH! THIS WENDE!! AHHHHHHHHHH!!!]

[Sorry, I... I'm sorry...]

[WC, a 5-star Destruction character with an ink-wash style! This is... this is totally my aesthetic!]

[Wende: Studying medicine can't save the people of Belobog, so I've decided to just wipe out the problem!]

[Step forth! This is the aegis of salvation!]

The back-to-back CG animations completely ignited the passion of the livestream's audience. Accompanied by a stirring BGM, Wende and Stelle simultaneously took aim at Cocolia in the sky, with the colossal Engine of Creation standing guard behind them.

This epic scene instantly sent a surge of adrenaline through every viewer, making their heads feel hot. All the suppressed emotions from watching Wende and Stelle get stabbed erupted in this single moment!

"AHHHHHHHHH! I'M FIRED UP! COCOLIA! PREPARE TO DIE!!!!!! (voice crack)"

Sister Guoguo screamed madly before leading the newly class-changed [Preservation] Stelle and the ascended [Destruction] Wende into a final assault against the arrogant Cocolia in the sky!

"This is impossible!"

"Cocolia" stared at Wende and Stelle, who were back on their feet, and at the Engine of Creation, which had now pledged itself to [The Preservation]. At this point, her mind was consumed by the primitive urges of the Stellaron, but seeing Stelle actually raise that lance, her tone was still filled with utter disbelief.

"You know nothing of this world's plight! Nothing of the ending that awaits it!!"

"You! Don't you dare take away! My hope!"

"Cocolia" roared, and two massive lances forged of ice shot towards the pair!

"Bring it on!"

Stelle's eyes sharpened. She took the initiative and flashed in front of Wende, planting her lance firmly before her!

A fiery-red shield materialized in front of them!

CRACK!!

The two enormous ice lances instantly shattered and disintegrated against the shield!

"You were always the one protecting me before. Now... I finally have the power to protect you too!" Stelle said to Wende with a smile.

"Mm."

Wende closed his eyes and nodded in gratification.

The child has grown up!

"Wende! Stelle!"

The rest of the crew, having just finished dealing with the Fragmentum creatures, rushed over to them.

Dan Heng froze for a moment upon seeing Wende's radical transformation, but then tightened his grip on Cloud-Piercer and resolutely stood behind him.

"Dan Heng." Wende said softly, looking at him by his side.

"Yes, I know. But that wasn't us, and it certainly isn't now." Dan Heng replied calmly. The past was the past; it had nothing to do with them!

"Is that so... that's for the best."

"Wende" smiled with relief, a light flashing through his purple eyes.

"Now, it's time for our counterattack!" March raised her bow, aiming it at Cocolia above.

"Get down here!"

With March's shout, the dormant Engine of Creation suddenly raised its mountain-ridge-sized arm. A steel fist the size of a basketball court smashed towards Cocolia in the air!

"You! Traitor!" "Cocolia" cursed the Engine of Creation for turning coat. At this point, she could no longer recognize that the true traitor was herself!

And so, the creation of [The Preservation], following the will of [The Preservation], unleashed its fury upon the betrayer who had forsaken the name of "Great Guardian"!

BOOM!!!

In an instant, mountains crumbled and the great earth shook!

The deafening roar covered the entirety of Belobog.

Countless residents of Belobog walked out of their homes, gazing north towards Everwinter Hill.

"Hold the Silvermane Guard line! We can't let the Fragmentum creatures break through!"

Gepard, still holding his position in the Restricted Zone, looked to the north.

"Sister... is that you?"

"Cocolia, you were so, so wrong..."

Cradling the now-unconscious Bronya, Serval murmured to herself. The ground around her was scorched earth, the white snow covered by the dust of disintegrated Fragmentum creatures...

Flashing away to dodge the Engine of Creation's world-ending blow, "Cocolia's" body surged with a golden light.

"The power of the Stellaron is with me! You are all nothing but the last death throes of a collapsing old world!" "Cocolia's" voice was a frenzied hysteria.

"I will forge it with my own hands! A great new world!!"

She flew into the air, the Stellaron's power surging! A colossal ice meteor, like a falling star tinged with a golden glow, hurtled towards the group below!

[CUE THE BGM!!!]

[WC! MY BRAINSTEM!! AHHHHH! MY BRAINSTEM IS FRYING!!]

[This music is so damn good!]

[You can always trust miHoYo's music!]

[That feeling of destiny just hit so hard!]

"Leave it to me."

Patting Dan Heng's shoulder, Wende once again walked in front of Stelle.

"This, should be the end."

Wende raised his longsword. The blade, once as pure as white silk, suddenly turned as black as ink, while the hilt became snow-white.

Without another word, Wende rose and charged towards the meteor in the sky!

"Wende! Be careful!" March cried out, her eyes filled with worry. But Stelle, beside her, looked at Wende's back with nothing but trust in her eyes!

There was no elaborate stance. Wende simply executed a light slash!

An ink-black ray of light instantly pierced the massive ice meteor, splitting it in two before completely shattering it into a sky full of golden light!

"It's time to end this farce!"

"Stelle!" Wende shouted to her below.

"The tip of the spear is already lit!"

Stelle held her lance, assuming a charging stance!

"Blazing Lance! Charge!!!"

A pillar of fire erupted from the ground! Wielding her lance, Stelle launched the final attack against "Cocolia" in the sky!

The [Lance of the Blazing Undaunted]!

BOOM!!!

The heavy, fiery lance instantly pierced through Cocolia's chest! Let the weapon of the "first" Great Guardian bring an end to the last Great Guardian of the old era!

After the passion, all that remained was burnt-out ash and dissipating ice and snow.

Cocolia's eyes widened, staring in disbelief at the fiery lance radiating the great power of [The Preservation] in her chest. This was once her...

[LIT! SO LIT! EXPLOSIVELY LIT!]

[Where's Boruto? Where's Boruto?! We need Boruto to come save us! There's a fire!]

[In the name of The Preservation!]

[This is it! The combination technique of father and son AHHHH!!!]

[The top of my skull! It's about to fly off!!]

The chat in Sister Guoguo's livestream was a mess of ecstatic wailing. How long had it been since they'd seen such an epic battle scene!

As for Sister Guoguo, she simply pushed up her round glasses. Beneath the thick lenses, her eyes glinted with a crazed light.
