Chapter 37 A Clash of Wills

The cold wind was biting, and there was not even a chance to exhale. The cold wind was like a giant mouth, swallowing everything that broke into its life.

In Eternal Winter Ridge, or in other words, this planet, the cold wind is the embodiment of the will of the star core, and the biting cold that whistles in the face is a warning from the star core to Yao Luo.

"He comes with bad intentions." White color appeared between Yao Luo's brows. If he hadn't used his strength to protect his body, his cornea would have been frozen.

"You are the one who is coming." A hollow voice echoed in the air of Yongdong Ridge. The voice came from all directions, like the spontaneous will of heaven and earth, penetrating into every pore of Yao Luo and infusing the will in the words into his body.

"This isn't the first time we've fought." Coming to an open space, Yao Luo casually sat down cross-legged. In his hand, he seemed to be holding up something in a cup, raising it above his head, blocking the will of the world out of his body.

"If you think that taking away a small piece of iron can save the dying city, then you are too naive." The hollow and cold voice remained indifferent, as if it didn't care about anything.

"At least, it's enough to stop those ugly villains you made up."

In front of Yao Luo, there was a pitch-black object, infinitely high up and infinitely deep down, with boundlessness on both sides.

Its name is, Death.

Originally standing in this empty place was a giant machine that was used to move mountains and land on this planet thousands of years ago.

[Creation Engine]

The original star core resided on it, and Yao Luo formed a spontaneous death squad from the Silver Mane Iron Guards, came to the Eternal Winter Ridge, and borrowed Yao Luo's power to return this towering giant belonging to mankind back to where it should be.

At that time, Yao Luo, who was standing a thousand meters away from Yongdong Ridge, had his first confrontation with the star core.

Although the returning team members were not physically injured, their spirits were broken.

Even standing next to a warm stove, they would tremble all over and their faces would turn pale, as if they were in a cold storage.

Phantom hypothermia.

If nothing unexpected happens, this symptom will accompany them throughout their lives. This is an experience more painful than death. It also made Yao Luo understand that even if he protected the bodies of the team members, the power of the star core would still be pervasive, or in other words, it would be impossible to directly affect the star core of the outside world. Changing the mind of an object and then changing its shape is the method he is now better at.

Although he left behind a creation engine that was sufficient to protect the city, the failure of this confrontation left a deep mark in Yao Luo's heart.

"Come on." There was no point in saying more. An unspeakable hatred had already been formed between Yao Luo and the star core.

In an instant, the world of senses drifted away from Yao Luo. The cold wind, the icy cold, the biting cold gradually disappeared, replaced by a warm and moist feeling.

When he opened his eyes, Yao Luo found that he had come to a space that was completely different from before.

The tall and towering buildings, the sound of traffic whistles, the solid concrete ground, the endless flow of people, the flashing neon lights, everything is exactly the same as Yao Luo's impression of his hometown.

He himself was floating above this steel city, overlooking the dense flow of people below him, and opposite him, where he was sitting cross-legged, a familiar figure appeared.

Looking up, Yao Luo couldn't help but reveal an expression of disgust on his face.

"How is it? Does the body you see match your impression of it?"

A charming voice came from the other side, with dazzling blonde hair and a proud figure, everything was exactly the same as what Yao Luo remembered.

"Don't disgust me with that look."

"Hahaha, you are anxious, you are anxious." A voice that could never appear on Cocolia laughed unscrupulously, and the star core changed into a shape that made Yao Luo feel something.

"you……"

Before he could make a sound, a violent spraying sound came from Yao Luo's ears.

"Is that a rocket?" His gaze shifted and a familiar object attracted Yao Luo's attention. There was a mark on the white rocket that was more familiar to him.

Although the appearance was slightly different, Yao Luo could still see that this symbol was exactly the prototype of what he saw seven hundred years later.

"That's right." As if guessing what Yao Luo was thinking, the star core in the shape of Cocolia wandered in the air, framed the symbol with both hands, and told Yao Luo its origin.

"Before I came to this planet, Yalilo's technology level was much higher than it is now. They had communicated with the outside world long ago and contacted the Interstellar Peace Company at that time." Cocolia, the incarnation of the Star Core, walked around Yao Luo in a circle. "This is all thanks to the unique resources of this planet, the earth marrow. Although it has been invaded by the antimatter planet, if it is given enough time, it may not be impossible to form a force that can compete with it." Shaking his head, as if he had witnessed this history with his own eyes, the Star Core spoke clearly.

"After nearly three hundred years of struggle, the so-called great guardian of this planet, no, at that time it should be called the leader of Beloberg, Alisa Rand found me." Suddenly, Star Core put his face close to Yao Luo, less than one centimeter away.

"So you destroyed the planet?" Indifferent, after experiencing the initial disgust, this face could no longer affect Yao Luo.

"No, no, no, no! How can you say it's destroyed!" The corners of Cocolia's mouth curved to a weird degree, his hands raised high, and then fell down as if he had lost support, just like his arrogant tone.

"You should call it salvation."

A nameless fire of karma ignited in Yao Luo's heart. Even though he knew that this was a means for the star core to stir up his emotions, his nature and conscience told him that he should retain the right to be angry.

As if observing the anger in Yao Luo's heart, the star core on Cocolia's surface laughed even more happily, moved its fingers slightly, and snapped its fingers crisply.

The scenery in front of him changed again like a kaleidoscope, and when he came to his senses, Yao Luo had arrived in a unique space.

The dilapidated bricks and tiles, the smell of decay and mold, the broken glass, and the collapsed doors and walls all gave Yao Luo a familiar feeling.

"Do you still remember this place? Yao Luo." A gentle voice came from behind Yao Luo.

He stood up and turned around suddenly, and another figure appeared in front of him.

Soft gray hair fell between the temples, and the wine-red pupils were full of concern.

"Natasha..."

I have to admit that Star Core is absolutely good at grasping the inner fragility of people. While I was stunned, another familiar shouting voice appeared.

The street in front of him evoked Yao Luo's memories. When he continued to focus his gaze, a thin figure appeared in front of him.

"Save me, Brother Yao Luo!"

"Peter!" Yao Luo's eyes widened instantly.

The boy in front of him was the first human that Yao Luo saw when he first arrived on this planet, and behind him, the hideous-looking robot was wielding a chainsaw mercilessly.

Subconsciously using the power of the Star of Eden, Yao Luo wanted to stop the tragedy before his eyes, but the power that was as easy as a finger in the air as before did not appear, and the tragedy still happened.

“Ahhhhhh! It hurts! It hurts so much!”

A thin arm fell next to Yao Luo, and the flying blood even dripped onto Yao Luo's face, causing his hand flying in the air to tremble slightly.

"Oh my, I didn't expect that Yao Luo, who killed countless enemies on the battlefield, couldn't even save a little child in front of him." Natasha's voice appeared in Yao Luo's ears, her gentleness remained, but her words revealed a chilling feeling.

Even though he knew it was fake, Yao Luo's heart was still trembling slightly. When he looked at the child in front of him screaming in agony on the ground and he could not help at all, Natasha's voice appeared in his ears again.

"If you could be faster, could you have saved Peter? All this comes from your heart..."

"lazy."

"Did you think at that time that if you could wait until the train team found you first, you wouldn't have to take these dangerous risks, and you wouldn't have to rush to the upper area in such a hurry?"

The star core with Natasha's appearance walked gracefully in front of Yao Luo. The sound of her high heels seemed to step into his heart, crushing the pride in his heart section by section.

Yao Luo bit his tongue hard and forced himself to wake up. The continuous attacks on his heart, coupled with the extremely real touch, made even this soldier who had experienced the wind and rain on the battlefield feel shaken.

"Don't worry, this is..."

"just started."

The scene before my eyes changed again.
