Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 70 The Long-Awaited System Notification

As the voice in his mind rang out, a strong sense of oppression surged toward Xing like a tidal wave.

At that moment, a sense of oppression seemed to fill the air. She felt as if a huge rock was blocking her chest, making each breath extremely difficult.

"Huff...huff..."

Xing was panting heavily.

The sudden feeling of suffocation felt very familiar to her, just like the scene when she first met Kripper in the simulated universe.

If she's not mistaken, Cripper is about to appear.

"boom--"

as predicted.

As the deafening sound rang out, the lava beneath Xing's feet began to churn and churn, forming pillars of fire that shot skyward.

Amber floating in the sky fell like raindrops, tracing dazzling paths through the air.

The rapidly falling amber and the soaring pillar of fire complemented each other, as if welcoming the arrival of some special being.

Just then, ripples spread across the space in front of Xing, and a huge figure slowly solidified within the ripples.

As the figure's outline became clearer, it revealed its true form before the star.

“The ‘protected’… Cripper…”

Xing murmured to herself, her voice trembling slightly.

This was the second time she had seen Kripper, but she never expected the real Him to be so awe-inspiring.

Kripper's enormous body blotted out the sky, like a majestic mountain standing between heaven and earth.

Its amber-colored exterior gleams against the backdrop of lava, radiating unparalleled majesty.

Xing raised her head and fixed her gaze firmly on Kripper.

The look in her eyes as she looked at Kripper showed no fear, only an unwavering determination.

Under the star's gaze, Cripper slowly raised the enormous hammer in his hand.

The enormous hammer hovered in mid-air, its amber luster shining even brighter against the backdrop of its surroundings.

At that moment, Xing found that her body was as if it were bound, unable to move.

Then, the hammer traced a dazzling amber path through the air as it rapidly fell toward the immobilized star.

Cripper's hammer made contact with the star the instant it touched him.

She suddenly felt her vision go black, and a strong sense of dizziness suddenly struck her.

At the same time, she suddenly heard the will of the guardians of all generations—the voice of that little girl.

"I didn't expect you to actually attract His attention..."

The little girl's words revealed an incredulous surprise, as if she had witnessed an incredible miracle.

"A mere passerby, yet he must shoulder the fate of the entire world?"

"Very well... then let me witness your will of 'preservation'."

After the little girl finished speaking, Xing suddenly opened her eyes, as if she had just woken up from a dream, her eyes still somewhat dazed.

The lance that pierced her chest had somehow ended up in her hands.

The lance, which was originally covered with a thick layer of frost and looked like an old popsicle, was now covered with a thick layer of frost.

At this moment, a raging fire has been lit, radiating a blazing and dazzling light.

Meanwhile, Lin Qiong and the others on the "Creation Engine" are confronting Cocolia.

"Swish swish."

At this moment, March 7's eyes were slightly red, and her hands flew, constantly condensing arrows made of six-phase ice into her hands.

She frantically unleashed these ice arrows at Cocolia, who was not far away, each one like an outpouring of her inner emotions.

"Damn it, damn it!"

However, the transparent barrier protecting Cocolia was like an impregnable city wall, blocking all of March 7's arrows.

"A magical realm transforms, a long dream ends in a single waking moment!"

Dan Heng flashed and instantly appeared to Cocolia's left, his Strike Cloud weapon carrying a fierce gale.

At this moment, Dan Heng brought the essence of Cloud Cavalry Spear Technique to its fullest potential, his figure seemingly merging with the clouds.

The spear tip, like a green dragon, tore through the surrounding air and slammed into Cocolia's barrier, creating ripples.

Then, the gale-force winds enveloping the clouds followed closely behind, like a hungry beast, instantly engulfing Cocolia.

In the howling wind, Cocolia's figure became blurred and indistinct.

Just when Dan Heng thought his attack had worked, a sense of crisis welled up in his heart.

Without the slightest hesitation, he exerted force with both legs and leaped backward.

"call out."

The instant he leaped into the air, a sharp icicle pierced through the howling wind at incredible speed and embedded itself in the ground where he had been standing.

The ice spike pierced deep into the hard shell of the "Creation Engine," its power terrifying.

At the same time, Cocolia's voice rang out in the gale: "Hmph, overestimating yourself."

As the sound faded, the raging wind gradually subsided, revealing Cocolia unharmed.

It seems that Danheng's all-out attack failed to break through that barrier.

Seeing this, Dan Heng frowned slightly, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, his face was no longer expressionless as usual, but instead revealed a hint of anger.

He gripped Ji Yun's hand tightly without realizing it, his fingers turning slightly white from the force.

This is quite rare for Danheng, who is known for his calmness and composure.

Clearly, witnessing his companion being pierced by Cocolia had made it impossible for him to remain calm as usual.

While dodging the ice spears fired by Cocolia, Lin Qiong and his companions launched a fierce attack on her.

At this moment, he was extremely anxious.

Even though I know this is a necessary procedure, I can't help but feel a pang of worry for Xing.

"Hurry up..."

Lin Qiong whispered in a voice only he could hear, as if urging something.

"Boom!"

Just then, the "creation engine" beneath everyone's feet, which had been paralyzed, suddenly began to shake violently.

"Whoa! What happened?!"

The sudden shaking caused March 7 to lose her balance and stumble to the ground.

"Could it be that...!"

A hint of joy suddenly appeared in Lin Qiong's eyes.

Without hesitation, he turned around, quickly ran to the edge of the "Creation Engine," and leaned down to look down.

Suddenly, he felt a scorching heat rushing towards him from below, like the prelude to a volcanic eruption.

Lin Qiong saw a faint, flickering flame swaying in the gray, snowy fog.

The light, though small, was exceptionally eye-catching, like a firefly dancing alone in the silent darkness.

However, this scene did not last long.

The flickering flame gradually grew brighter, its light becoming increasingly intense and dazzling.

There was a loud "boom".

A crimson pillar of fire erupted from beneath the "Creation Engine," instantly dispersing the surrounding snow and mist.

The blazing flames shot straight into the sky, instantly turning the gray sky crimson.

"what happened?"

Cocolia's voice was filled with obvious surprise; this sudden turn of events made her frown.

Looking at the rising pillar of fire, Cocolia felt a sense of fear rising from the depths of her heart.

At the same time, a strangely familiar voice suddenly rang in Lin Qiong's mind.

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations, host, on unlocking the "Preservation" destiny.]

To Lin Qiong at this moment, the cold, mechanical voice was as melodious as heavenly music.
