Honkai Star Rail: I am the Emanator of all Eons

Chapter 41: Chapter 41: I'm a fucking Gundam! Wahahahahahaha!



-Fragmentum activity is intensifying... Something is happening in Jarilo-VI. Should we go there, Himeko?

-Trust them. Besides, this is Stelle's first road-tracing expedition. How can she have nice memories later if there aren't a few changes and adversities? At worst, no one will be there for them.

From the Astral Express, Himeko and Welt converse while gazing at the planet Jarilo-VI from a distance.

-Are you bored, Welt? I understand... But we'll have plenty of opportunities later. Let's let the four of them have the memories of this expedition...

-Then you think nothing will happen to them, do you?

-Yes, Nadie is with them after all. I've heard of their exploits from the mouths of Herta and Asta a thousand times, rumors that sound like absurd stories could even be considered the opposite of exaggeration...

-Is it a relief to hear that...?

Welt felt a bit complicated as he listened to Himeko's explanation, this made her laugh softly.

-This is an adventure for young people and we should not interfere. At most, we could give them an "external" hand.

---Separation line---

When we arrived at the Passage of the Extinguished Echoes, the residual energy of the Fragmentum left replicas of Bronya and Cocolia, and their conversations also remained in the form of echoes...

-... Mother, do you really trust the promise of the Stellaron? He summoned the blizzard on the other side of our walls and opened the door to the Fragmentum that destroyed our civilization?

-... And yet, the crime of our ancestors was their inability to embrace that destruction....

-...

-From the moment the Legion descended from beyond the heavens 700 years ago, this world had a sentence of death. But the Stellaron... held out a glimmer of hope. There is a price to pay if new life is to come. To eliminate all the decaying vestiges of the old world, to renounce an eternal and meaningless struggle.... That is the price the Stellaron demands. When the promise is fulfilled, Bronya, we will no longer have to waste our lives protecting this wasteland. You and I will see the new world rise from the ruins.

-...

Cocolia's images and voices are irrefutable proof that she appropriates the Stellaron, the cause of the Eternal Ice and the expansion of Fragmentum. At that moment, a very uncomfortable silence formed among the Crinargenta Guard, even Serval put on a complicated expression.

Thanks to assault squads 1 and 2, all the doors and obstacles were already open; that's why our advance was so fast.

The echoes of Bronya and Cocolia continue arguing...

-I don't understand... If the truth is as you say, all the generations of Guardians resisted the Estelaron's call... Were they all wrong, mother?

-Don't you see it yet, Bronya? It's not a matter of right or wrong. Some of them acted according to human pride, others were short-sighted. I will not follow the erroneous steps of the Guardians down those dead ends of narcissism. If perseverance is of no avail, a new beginning must be chosen.

-But isn't Qlipoth, the Preservation, one of the entities of magnificence you speak of? Isn't its power what protected Belobog all this time?

-The Preservation? Has it ever looked humanity in the face? It is nothing more than an arrogant illusion of the Architects. You will hear the true voice of magnificence, Bronya.... Then you will understand my choice.

At that moment, everyone understood, Cocolia did not betray Belobog; in anguish and desperation, the Stellaron took advantage of those emotions to deceive and manipulate the Supreme Guardian to his liking.

-... That damned Estelaron, to think that he would deceive the great Supreme Guardian to this extent....

Gepard growled in fury and clenched his fists tightly.

-This is no time for regrets, Gepard. Now that we know the truth, we must go and stop the Supreme Guardian. If what the echo showed us is true, then Commander Bronya is about to be brought before the Stellaron to be bewitched as well.

-!!!

Pela's explanation made everyone feel a terrible shiver run through their bodies.

-We must hurry! Let's go!

At Gepard's command, we all quickened our pace.

Before we reached the stairs connecting the Everwinter Hill, the path showed terrible marks of destruction and they seem to be fresh. Here the fight against the Cocolia Echo must have happened, it seems that the boys defeated it without problems.

Entering Everwinter Hill, the cold suddenly intensified.

-How cold it is!

-Are you all right, Serval? I can lend you a coat if you like.

-Thank you, Pela, but I'm fine. We're about to face Cocolia so this will help keep the heat down.

-If you say so.

We're approaching the Stellaron, the heart of the Eternal Ice.

Running through destroyed structures and frozen Legion bodies, we climbed the stairs as fast as we could. Halfway up, the hand of the Engine of Creation blocked part of the path but that didn't stop our progress in the slightest.

*Bam!*

A sudden tremor made everyone lose their balance for an instant.

-The fight has already started!

At my shout, everyone picked up their pace even more.

When we reached the top of Everwinter Hill, Stelle, Dan Heng, March 7, Seele, Bronya, Natasha, Sampo, Oleg and many more were facing a large number of Fragmentum monsters.

-The reinforcements have arrived!

-Nadie! All of them!

March shouted for joy at the sight of us.

Great, looks like Cocolia couldn't access the Creation Engine's control. My modifications paid off.

-Go my brave heroes! Fight for me!

-...Is it always like this?

Gepard asked with an exasperated look at Serval.

-You'll get used to it.

She smiled in response.

-Pela, Gepard, I'm sorry I can't explain the situation in detail but please help us stop my mother!

-Understood commander Bronya!

-Already listening to Miss Bronya! Crinargenta Guard, take your positions!

-------Yes!

Svarog, Serval, Luka, Pela, Gepard and many others also joined the fight.

Above them all, leading the Fragmentum monsters, there is Cocolia floating in the sky using the power of the Stellaron. Looks like Cocolia hasn't merged with the Stellaron yet.

-Initiating complete annihilation!

Svarog commanded the automatons to position themselves in front, so that everyone could fight without exposing themselves to too much danger.

Gradually, Cocolia began to be forced back.

-To create something new, you have to destroy the old. Resistance is useless, I'll make you all open your eyes the hard way!

Seeing that the arrival of reinforcements tipped the balance to our side, Cocolia used a massive amount of Stellaron energy to summon elite enemies: an Outer Space Ice nearly as large as the Engine of Creation and a powered-up Shadow of the Guardian.

This sudden turn of events lowered everyone's morale greatly....

-Isn't that monster from the Fragmentum too big?!

Seele was elated to see the Outer Space Ice almost as big as the Engine of Creation.

-Crinargenta Guard, don't lower your gaze! If we surrender now, nobody else will be able to protect Belobog! The fate of our planet lies in our hands!

-------------Yes, commander Bronya!

Pela, Gepard and all the Crinargenta Guards shouted in unison. Although Bronya's speech increased everyone's will to fight a little, morale did not increase in the slightest.

-Hey... Aren't those two Fragmentum monsters too intimidating...?

-It's okay, March, I'll take care of them.

-No, no matter how you look at it Stelle, they're too strong!

-Complaining won't solve anything, get ready to fight.

-You too Dan Heng?! I-It's okay, anyway, we still have Nadie on our side and it's impossible for such a lovely girl like me to lose, right?

This Estelaron is much stronger than the one in the game, why the sudden increase in power... Wait, this feeling...! Nanook!

The gaze of the Aeon of Destruction reached the Stellaron connected to Cocolia. At that moment, the Stellaron felt a sudden surge of power coming from the Path of Destruction, that's why it managed to summon such monstrosities.

-Nadie...?

Seeing that I didn't answer, March turned to look at me worried. No time to waste, so I turned my back on them all and ran away.

-Cover me!

-Eh?! Okay... Wait, why are you running to the opposite side...?!

March stretched his arm in the air but it was too late, I had already run out of the battlefield....

-That bastard got away...!

-Leave him, he'll surely come back with something on his mind... I think...!

Dan Heng commented...

*Bam!*

While tremors comparable to earthquakes shook the ground, I ran in the direction of the immobile arm of the Engine of Creation.

Also, I pulled out my cell phone and made an emergency call. In less than two seconds, the other person answered.

-[Nadie? How strange that you call me so out of the blue, did you miss my voice so much?]

-Also, but more importantly, Nanook made his move!

-[...Jarilo-Vi, right? The Space Station will make an emergency jump, we'll be there in 10 minutes].

-I'm counting on you, Herta!

-[Don't hesitate.]

The call cut out, I kept running. I entered the Creation Engine and activated the Geological Reconstruction Unit.

Just then, as the giant Outer Space Ice was about to unleash his Everwinter Rain ability, the Creation Engine charged towards him and connected a lariat.

-Waaaaaaaah! What's happening now?!

March shouted worriedly as she tried to keep her balance due to the strong earthquake-like tremors.

-Look over there...!

Seele shouted pointing her finger at where the Outer Space Ice was previously.

-It's...!

-The Engine of Creation...!

Serval completed Bronya's sentence.

At that moment, a voice was heard through the speakers of the Engine of Creation.

-[I'm a fucking Gundam! Wahahahahahahahahahaha!]

-------------Of course, it's Nadie....

They all snorted in unison.... But now yes, morale is high again....

-[I'll take care of this giant ice cube, you guys take care of the other one!]

-Kukuku. You heard the boss! Charge!

Stelle shouted leading the group to face the empowered Guardian Shadow.
