Chapter 83: The Best Moment for Welt

"...Where is this?"

By the time Welt regained his senses, he was already standing on a small platform made of machinery.

A translucent projection screen appeared in front of him, showing Gu Tang's face.

"Sorry for pulling you in so suddenly, Welt," Gu Tang said to Welt. "But we need your power right now."

Another screen appeared, this time showing Svarog.

In a synthesized voice, Svarog said to Welt, "On behalf of the Underworld, I also ask for your help... Please lend your power to this world."

Faced with such an abrupt and inexplicable situation, Welt's response was...

"Don't worry, I will do my best to assist!" Welt responded firmly, pounding his chest.

Although Gu Tang and Svarog did not explain the cause and effect, through the resonance of the Steel Spirit, Welt quickly understood the situation.

"Very well... then..." Gu Tang smiled, gripping two control levers and pushing them to the limit. "Let's go together!"

A red glow flashed from the chest of the Creation Engine, reaching towards the sky.

The Eden Star transformed into a dark golden ring, encircling its right arm.

Thus, gravity reversed at this moment.

On the ground, rocks and snow slowly floated upward.

In mid-air, the massive crystal's descent slowed and eventually halted in mid-air.

"Now!"

The satellite on the chest of the Creation Engine operated at high speed, light continuously emerging, gathering energy.

Then, a crimson energy cannon was fired from its chest.

The massive energy cannon pierced through space, burning the atmosphere, and in an instant, struck the crystal.

Boom————!!

The crystal was shattered in mid-air, countless fragments like a meteor shower, falling to the ground with flames.

"It's not over yet." Welt smiled confidently, extending his right hand towards the sky.

The Creation Engine mirrored his action.

Then, the arm swung downward.

Massive gravity was instantly applied to Cocolia's body.

"What!" Cocolia exclaimed in shock.

It was as if several mountains were pressing down on her.

The ice armor on her body further collapsed, and her floating body was constantly pulled down by gravity.

Soon, she was within the reach of the Creation Engine's strikes.

Without hesitation, accompanied by the sound of gears turning, the giant fist of the Creation Engine swung towards her.

"... I must admit, you foolish humans, your creations are indeed powerful," Cocolia murmured.

The iron fist was about to descend on her.

"But... the flesh inside is still fragile." Her gaze seemed to pierce through the steel, locking eyes with Gu Tang inside.

The Star Core on the ground trembled violently.

An invisible wave swept across the entire planet.

The Creation Engine's movement stopped.

Not only the Creation Engine, but even the falling crystal fragments also froze in mid-air, and the howling wind disappeared.

The surroundings fell into a deathly silence.

Using the power of the Star Core, enhancing and sublimating the concept of freezing—

The ultimate result was that even time was frozen.

This was the true finishing move of the False Mother, Cocolia.

And in this frozen time, only Cocolia could move normally.

Of course, this level of power would also cause her great burden, and she could only maintain it for 5 seconds.

"That's enough..." Cocolia flew to the front of the Creation Engine's cockpit.

5 seconds might not be enough to destroy the massive Creation Engine, but it was enough to pull out and kill the person inside the cockpit.

Just as she had said earlier, discarding the external steel armor, the human inside was still fragile.

Cocolia reached the front of the cockpit, raising her hand...

The next moment, the cockpit door opened on its own.

Cocolia: "?"

Gu Tang smiled at her.

[Immunity]

[Level: 8]

[Effect: Immune to all abnormal status]

[Evaluation: Don't play tricks in front of me]

Then, Gu Tang jumped out suddenly, punching Cocolia.

Before Cocolia could react, the terrifying force had already sent her flying.

Gu Tang, using the recoil from the punch, spun a few times in the air, then landed back in the cockpit and closed the door.

5 seconds ended—

The sound of howling wind resumed.

"It's time to end this," Gu Tang said slowly.

The Creation Engine's palms opened, beginning to charge its final move.

The red glow in its chest flickered, raising the energy level to an unprecedented height.

The immense energy even caused sparks to erupt from various parts of the Creation Engine.

Svarog's processor streamed vast amounts of data: "Engine efficiency 102%... 135%... 150%!! Expected to lose all power in 5 seconds!"

"5 seconds is more than enough!" Welt shouted excitedly.

"Come on, gravity... more! Gravity!" Gu Tang muttered.

The immense energy compressed, turning into a terrifying gravitational force, gathered in the hands of the Creation Engine.

It was as if two black holes appeared, distorting the surrounding space, everything floating up and being torn apart, turning into fragments orbiting the two gravity points.

Not enough!

Gu Tang manipulated the machine, making the Creation Engine's trembling hands clasp together, forming a giant hammer of steel.

The terrifying gravity even caused the arm armor of the Creation Engine to begin peeling off.

This was the final, most powerful strike!

[Heaven and Hell Breaker]

Gu Tang: "This is..."

Svarog: "Our..."

Welt: "Full power ahhhhhhh——————!!!!"

Whoosh————!!!

The iron fist swung, stirring up a storm, hitting Cocolia in mid-air.

Terrifying energy concentrated at one point, exploding instantly.

Sound disappeared at that moment.

Only the explosion's flash painted everything black and white, demonstrating the power of this strike.

...

-------------------

"Huff... huff..." Cocolia trudged through the snow with difficulty.

She had reverted to her human form.

But...

Cocolia looked down at her hand.

Her fingertips, like shattered ice, kept crumbling, disappearing into the air.

It was over... In a moment, this remnant body would completely disappear.

"Have you conceded, Cocolia?" Stelle's voice sounded.

Cocolia looked up, seeing Stelle approaching her with a blazing spear.

Behind Stelle were March 7th, Dan Heng, Seele... and Bronya.

"No... it won't end..." Cocolia's face was full of madness and anger.

There was no longer any trace of the calm and dignity of the Great Guardian on her face.

Cocolia looked at Bronya.

With her last bit of strength, she summoned an ice spear and charged at Bronya.

"Watch out!" Dan Heng's pupils contracted.

There's still a chance! Grab Bronya and use her as leverage!

Cocolia shouted in her heart.

At this moment, her inner voice was no different from the Star Core.
