Chapter 73 Prelude to Genesis
Yalilo-6, Yongdongling.
After Lin Qiong pieced together the Heavenly Fire Judgment and transformed it into the Heavenly Fire Greatsword.
The temperature in the air began to rise sharply, like the midday sun shining directly on the earth in summer, radiating waves of heat.
A vacuum zone seemed to have formed around Lin Qiong. When the snowflakes falling from the sky approached this area, they instantly turned into wisps of smoke and dissipated with the wind.
"What kind of power is this that makes me...feel fear?"
Cocolia instinctively took a step back, her voice trembling slightly.
The burning greatsword in Lin Qiong's hand was far beyond her comprehension. How could there be such a powerful weapon in the world?
Lin Qiong gently waved the Heavenly Fire in his hand, and wherever the sword passed, the air seemed to be ignited, leaving behind streaks of crimson.
The raging fire that suddenly ignited after Tianhuo was wielded instantly turned the surrounding space into a sea of fire.
The ice spikes that Cocolia shot at Lin Qiong and Xing melted the moment they touched the sea of fire.
"This is impossible..."
Cocolia muttered to herself, her face filled with disbelief.
In order to embrace the arrival of the new world, she abandoned her past, sacrificed most of the people of Belloberg, and even lost her best friends and family.
Is it going to all be for naught now?
A strong sense of resentment welled up in Cocolia's heart.
She raised her trembling hand and gently covered her face, trying to calm herself down.
"...It cannot end here—"
Cocolia's eyes narrowed, and a massive amount of imaginary energy surged from her body.
These imaginary energies quickly formed an icy storm, forcefully suppressing the surrounding flames.
"—The fate of this world was already sealed!!"
As Cocolia's voice fell, two enormous ice spears instantly materialized beside her.
The two ice spears continuously emitted a chilling aura, which gathered around the spears into razor-sharp air currents.
Then, Cocolia waved her hand, and two ice spears, under her control, shot out from beside her at a speed that almost exceeded the limits of physics, heading straight for Lin Qiong and Xing.
Seeing this, Lin Qiong dragged the Heavenly Fire in his hand on the ground, and the flames burning on the sword burned a deep flame mark on the ground.
It looked as if a fiery serpent was slithering across the ground, leaving a charred trail behind it.
"It's not your place to say what the ending will be."
Lin Qiong met the flying ice spear head-on, wielding his Heavenly Fire from bottom to top, and unleashed an upward slash.
"boom--"
The moment the Heavenly Fire touched the Ice Spear, it sliced it in two as easily as a knife through tofu.
The flames attached to the heavenly fire continued unabated, spreading forward along the broken ice spear, its intense heat even engulfing the second ice spear that followed.
The ice spear melted rapidly under the ravages of the flames, turning into a wisp of steam that slowly dissipated into the cold air.
At the same time, Xing seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. She raised her Flame Spear with one hand and charged straight at Cocolia at an astonishing speed.
The flames danced incessantly on the tip of the Flame Spear, like joyful sprites, each leap bursting forth with intense light that illuminated Xing's resolute face.
"Here's your move back!"
In the blink of an eye, Xing had already rushed in front of Cocolia with the Flame Spear.
The flaming spear in her hand had already pierced through Cocolia's chest.
Cocolia's body trembled violently, and a look of astonishment flashed in her eyes.
"Ugh...how...how could this be, I actually..."
Her voice came through intermittently, each word filled with resentment and despair.
As she spoke, a sense of powerlessness spread through Cocolia's body, and she felt like a bird that had lost its wings, falling from the sky to the ground.
"Cocolia!"
"Mother!"
Upon seeing this scene, Hilva and Bronya's voices rang out simultaneously, their voices filled with unconcealable grief.
Although Cocolia has now lost her way and embarked on a path of no return, she was once a great guardian who was deeply loved and respected by the people.
This will never change in their hearts.
Just as the two were about to step forward to check on Cocolia's condition, Danheng suddenly reached out and stopped them.
"Wait a minute!" Dan Heng frowned slightly and said with a serious expression, "Something seems off."
As soon as she finished speaking, a powerful burst of imaginary energy erupted from Cocolia.
The shockwave generated by this energy blew everything in the vicinity away.
Hoshino was no exception; being closest to Cocolia, she was lifted high into the air by the shockwave and tumbled backward.
Just as everyone was resisting the shockwave, Cocolia's ecstatic voice reached everyone's ears.
"Ah! Listen! His power is with me..."
Cocolia, whose body had been pierced by the star, had somehow floated into the air.
At this moment, she was enveloped in a faint layer of imaginary energy, as if she were draped in a golden silk.
At the same time, under this layer of imaginary energy, Cocolia's wounds were miraculously healed, as if the previous battle had never happened.
"Huh? What happened? Wasn't Cocolia defeated?"
March 7th looked up at Cocolia in the sky, her tone tinged with surprise, clearly taken aback by the current situation.
"Could it be... that people who get stabbed suddenly become stronger?"
She recalled that after Xing was stabbed through the heart by Cocolia, she unexpectedly obtained a flaming lance, which greatly increased her strength.
Now, after being stabbed by Star, Cocolia has displayed unprecedented power, as if she has ascended to heaven.
Could Danheng also...?
Something seems off. Qiong wasn't stabbed, yet she suddenly became stronger.
March 7th scratched his head in confusion, thinking that he might be overthinking things.
However, at that moment, Cocolia in the air suddenly raised her head and stretched out her arms in a devout posture, as if to embrace the entire sky.
The imaginary energy flowing through her body was like a ceaseless river, constantly converging upwards to form a dazzling golden sphere.
"Everything you've done... is nothing more than a death throes before the collapse of the old world!"
Cocolia's cold voice came from above, her tone full of mockery and contempt for everyone.
She looked down at the tiny Lin Qiong and the others below, her cold eyes showing no pity whatsoever, as if she were looking at a group of insignificant ants.
"Now! Let me put an end to this farce!"
