Cocolia seemed to have expected Bronya's words.
Her facial expression remained unchanged.
“Bronya, I have a decision…”
“I, who have betrayed my faith, am no longer worthy of being the Grand Guardian. Therefore, I want you to take over this position.”
After a long silence, Cocolia spoke again.
“Wh… what? Mother, no…”
“Is it not possible?”
“I… how can I?”
Upon hearing these words, Bronya clearly panicked.
She had not expected her mother to make such a decision.
It should be known that before this.
Apart from death, the Grand Guardian was always a lifetime position.
There had never been a case of stepping down.
She believed that she was not yet ready to become the Grand Guardian.
She was not even prepared.
“No! Bronya, you are stronger than me. Compared to me being swayed by the Star Core, your vision is far broader than mine.”
“Your decisions will also be much wiser than mine.”
“Besides, I no longer have the face to utter the oath of guarding Belobog, and furthermore, I am tired…”
Cocolia's voice was hoarse.
It made Bronya feel a little uncomfortable.
She understood her mother. Being in that position, facing the dire situation of the depleted marrow, no one wouldn’t break down.
“However, before that, Bronya.”
“There is one more thing I need to do!”
Cocolia spoke again, meeting her daughter's gaze.
“Wh… what is it?”
Bronya asked hesitantly.
“Previously, we lost our way, but now I want to grasp the future.”
Cocolia said solemnly.
Bronya naturally knew what this meant.
That man named Chen Xu.
He possessed unimaginable power, power that they had never even glimpsed, even after worshipping Amber King for so long.
They had never received salvation.
But now, Chen Xu stood before them.
He was so real.
Rather than worship the Star God who didn’t care about them.
It was better to seek the protection of the person before them.
“Mother, I believe in your choice.”
After a moment of silence, Bronya said solemnly.
…
Lower City, Rivet Town.
“It was actually repaired?”
At this moment, Melissa, the actual leader of the Firebrands, along with Himeko and a group of Firebrand members, looked at the repaired rift in front of them.
Their eyes showed an incredible shock.
They even doubted.
Did they have a problem with their eyes?
Just a few hours ago.
The passage that had been sealed for a long time between the Upper and Lower City.
Suddenly recovered.
And the Silvermane Iron Guards, whom they considered enemies, arrived in the Lower City under the leadership of a guard officer named Gepard.
Of course, along with these Silvermane Iron Guards.
Were four outsiders.
They, the Lower City, initially thought that these were the bastards from the Upper City, preparing to attack them, but they were ready to resist.
But Gepard informed them.
The Star Core, which had brought suffering to the whole world.
Had been removed by the hero outsider.
This time, they came to repair the rifts in the Lower City.
The people of the Lower City, naturally, wouldn't believe such words, thinking it might be a conspiracy.
But, when that young man named Chen Xu.
Easily “defeated” Svarog with his incredible skills, and casually healed Hook’s father.
They could only believe with some doubts.
They temporarily believed it.
But now, the facts were right in front of them, leaving them no choice but to believe it.
“You guys may not know, in the Iron Guard Restricted Area of the Upper City, when Mr. Chen Xu faced thousands of rift creatures, he only used one strike to destroy them all.”
“And that strike, left a huge canyon, continuous and bottomless, on the snowy plains!”
“The entire Upper City, experienced violent tremors!”
Gepard looked at the stunned crowd, explaining.
As he spoke…
His handsome face, was also filled with incredulity and admiration.
When Chen Xu struck that blow.
He was at the scene.
Every time he thought back, his heart was filled with excitement and passion.
It was at that moment.
He realized what divine power was.
It was far beyond what they, the frogs at the bottom of the well, could compare to!
“What! One strike to destroy thousands of rift creatures? And cut a continuous and bottomless canyon?”
Upon hearing this, Melissa, Himeko, and a group of Firebrand members were completely shocked, their minds trembling!!!
Are you kidding me?!
Is this really a power that a human can display?
Just this short description.
Is already shocking enough.
They simply couldn’t imagine what the scene was like.
“Wait, Guard Officer?”
“Are you saying… that Mr. Chen Xu’s strike caused a strong earthquake?”
However, at this time, Melissa noticed something.
“Yes!”
“However, the Iron Guard Restricted Area is quite far from Belobog, the shock dissipated quickly, basically no casualties.”
Gepard nodded and said.
Upon hearing this, Melissa and Himeko looked at each other.
They both saw shock in each other’s eyes.
They knew.
What happened to the earthquake in the morning.
It was cut out with one strike by this person, wasn’t it?
Seeing this, Himeko’s face turned red!
After all, not long ago, she was still scolding those guys from the Upper City for not being human.
And in the meantime.
Chen Xu had already finished repairing the rift in Rivet Town.
The Lower City, compared to the Upper City.
The rifts were obviously fewer.
After all, the Lower City’s area was far smaller than the Upper City.
And the heavily affected areas of the rifts were all in Rivet Town, the Big Mine, and the Wanderer Camp, making it easier to repair.
And with the Star Core gone.
No new rifts would be created.
As time passed, the rifts would gradually disappear.
…
Several hours later, Chen Xu repaired dozens of rifts in the Lower City.
All completed.
“Done!”
Saying this, Chen Xu took a breath and casually tossed the tools in his hand.
“Yay! We finished another big project!”
“Chen Xu! Awesome!”
Seeing this, March 7 smiled at Chen Xu and gave him a thumbs up.
“March, that doesn’t seem to have anything to do with us, does it?”
“It has always been Mr. Chen Xu who has been putting in the effort!”
“You haven’t contributed anything at all.”
Dan Heng glanced at March 7 and said casually.
“Hey… Dan Heng, you can’t say that.”
“We have been cheering for Chen Xu all this time, how can you say that we haven’t contributed anything?”
March 7 said confidently, without blushing or breathing hard.
But then again.
With Chen Xu’s blessing, the exploration journey was incredibly easy.
Whenever they went to any world.
It was always full of twists and turns, where was this kind of ease and leisure?
“It’s repaired! It’s really repaired!”
“My god! Will we encounter rift creatures again?”
“A miracle, this is simply a miracle!”
At this time, the Firebrand members who came with Melissa and Himeko.
Were all cheering excitedly, with great emotions.
