Did the main characters enter the wrong game in their second playthrough?

However, she did not continue attacking the group. Instead, after giving Bronya a deep look, she channeled the power towards herself...

"Om..."

A wave of energy emanated from Cocolia and spread outwards in all directions!

"The Star Core... promises the future!"

"Wait! Don't do this!!"

Bronya instantly realized what Cocolia was about to do and hurriedly tried to stop her, but was pulled back by Seele, who had also realized what was happening.

"do not want!"

"He will...devour everything!!"

Amidst the dazzling golden light, Cocolia's figure gradually transformed into light and dissipated on the spot. For some reason, the originally turbulent star core power temporarily calmed down with Cocolia's death, and the gloom that had covered the entire Beloborg gradually faded away after Cocolia's passing.

"..."

Bronya collapsed to her knees, as if all her strength had been drained. She gazed at the golden light filling the sky, her face filled with confusion and sorrow…

"Mother... have you... woken up from your dream?"

Everything vanished in that instant, everything was left unsaid.

Everything... remains unchanged.

"Wow... Kiana, you scared me to death just now! How did you suddenly change into another outfit and then instantly kill Cocolia?"

Watching Cocolia dissipate, March instantly breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at the dashing, handsome and beautiful Kiana, her pink and blue eyes filled with curiosity!

"March……"

Seeing how quickly March had changed, Danheng glanced at Bronya, who was still grieving beside him, and reminded March 7.

"Ah... I'm sorry, Bronya, I..."

Realizing instantly that she might have said something she shouldn't have, March quickly apologized to Bronya beside her.

“It’s alright… This is the path she chose herself, and from now on…”

"This is your path."

Almost instinctively, Kiana turned around, took over Bronya's words, walked up to her, and gently extended her hand.

"..."

Bronya silently gazed at Kiana, who was smiling gently before her. The countless points of light shone upon her, making her appear like a Valkyrie descended to earth, bringing her salvation…

So, Bronya slowly grasped that hand, and then, with Kiana's help, stood up. In that instant, her gaze became much more resolute.

"Thank you, Kiana."

"Without you, Belloborg would probably be submerged in the cold wave and the rift."

Bronya solemnly thanked Kiana, March 7th, and Danheng.

"This is what we should do. Next, we will seal the star core. After the star core is sealed, the cold wave of Yalilo VI will gradually subside. Although the rift will not disappear out of thin air, it will not continue to grow either."

Dan Heng nodded, and then slowly said.

"The people of this world have finally had a chance to catch their breath..."

"Great! The crisis in this world is finally over!"

Seeing that the atmosphere on the field was no longer so oppressive, March 7th decisively started to liven things up as well.

"So... Kiana, what exactly happened just now? We only saw Cocolia's ice spear 'whoosh' right through you, and then you started falling, which gave us all a huge fright!"

Recalling what had just happened, March was still shaken, but what happened next was far beyond her expectations.

"We originally thought you were injured and were about to ask Teacher Danheng to help you, but who would have thought that at the moment of falling, a bell rang out from who-knows-where, and then Kiana's body shone brightly! She started with zero frames and defeated Cocolia with a sky full of flames!"

March's eyes sparkled like stars as she curiously touched Kiana's armor from all sides, especially the cloak behind her, which felt warm to the touch, like a small sun made of fabric!

"Um... this is a bit complicated..."

Kiana looked slightly embarrassed as she recalled what had happened earlier.

So... from the outside world's perspective, she really was pierced through by that ice spear...?

As for the "zero-frame start" part, she didn't think much about it at the time; she just wanted to regain consciousness as soon as possible and continue fighting Cocolia.

Looking back now, Cocolia was probably caught off guard by this move and had no time to defend herself...

"Hmm... I've already informed Himeko; the task of sealing the star core will be left to her."

On the other side, Dan Heng ended the communication and said to the two of them.

"Um, what about Uncle Yang? I didn't hear his voice on the communication just now."

Upon hearing this, March 7th was immediately puzzled.

"Forehead……"

Upon hearing Walter's name, Danheng's expression instantly became somewhat complicated.

"Himeko said that Walter accidentally drank her coffee and is still asleep."

"..."

"..."

In an instant, the whole world seemed to fall silent.

Kiana shuddered. She had initially thought something had happened to Teacher Yang because he was helping her build something, but now that she saw it...

Perhaps Himeko's coffee is the biggest turning point?

Chapter 72 Luminous Geo Elemental / Liyue's Living Father

Kiana's pioneering journey in Beloborg thus came to an end, and next, St. Freya's Luminosity also fell into some kind of "minor trouble".

Looking at the "rock element crystal" that had appeared at some unknown time beneath his feet, Ying fell into deep thought.

When did she acquire the Geo element?

How come she didn't know?

"Um... what is this?"

Mei looked at the "purple crystal fragments" at Ying's feet with a puzzled expression, put away her long sword, and walked towards Ying.

"It looks...like some kind of crystal, but why did it fall onto Ying?"

Bronya, who was in the audience, slowly floated down, her face full of confusion as she looked at the fragment that had appeared out of nowhere.

Originally, Ying and Mei were having a sparring session called "Kendo". The two were wearing Valkyrie armor and discussing topics related to Kendo techniques in the training ground.

Ying's swordsmanship is extremely skilled, and her combat techniques are also very proficient. With just a "bladeless sword," she can fight Mei to a standstill, and even subtly suppress her.

Afterwards, the two felt that simple swordsmanship had certain limitations when fighting Honkai Beasts, so they released their armor performance and prepared to have a real spar.

Then... when the lightning on Mei's longsword struck Ying, this thing suddenly popped out.

Startled, Mei immediately turned to the open space and released the Honkai energy stored in the sword.

"Perhaps I know what this is, but... when did I come to possess it?"

Staring at the chip, Ying was completely puzzled. Could it be because she had passed the Valkyrie test?

But she hadn't unlocked Geo elemental power when she passed the exam...

Extending her fair fingers, Ying gently touched the purple rock element crystal.

The next moment! A rock elemental shield crackling with electricity enveloped Luminous, startling Mei and Bronya. But seeing Luminous's unsurprised expression within the shield, they quickly realized that this was also part of Luminous's power.

"Hmm... Could this be the legendary [Elemental Shield]?"

Bronya tilted her head slightly, gazing at the shield that seemed to exist only in a fantasy game, inadvertently revealing the truth.

"Um...it is indeed an elemental shield, but it seems to be a bit more solid than the one I had in the other world?"

Ying gently touched the seemingly thin shield. Just like before, it was impossible to feel it from the inside, but from the outside, it was the hardest thing ever...

Okay, it's not hard.

"Mei, why don't you try cutting me with a knife?"

Looking at the shield that hadn't dissipated yet, Ying raised her head and made a suggestion to Mei.

"Ok!"

Mei decisively drew her long sword and swiftly slashed at the shield in front of her.

"Keng!"

A metallic clang rang out between the blade and the shield, accompanied by a flash of sparks...

"..."

After making the first cut, Mei's brows furrowed slightly.

"This shield is really tough!"

"Hmm... Mei! Try using Honkai energy again!"

Feeling the almost unscathed shield, Ying quickly thought for a moment, and then continued speaking to Mei.

"it is good!"

Mei took a few steps back, and Bronya, seeing this, also immediately took a few steps back. The Heavy Bunny instantly appeared behind them, extending a shield to protect Bronya.

"Beyond Core Ready".

A burst of intense lightning instantly erupted from Mei's longsword; it was lightning converted from Honkai energy!

"Ying, watch out!"

Mei gave a prompt to the shield containing the glowing light, and then swung her sword at the shield with the force of a thousand bolts of lightning!

And the instant the lightning and the shield dissipated, an unbelievable scene unfolded!

The lightning instantly dissipated on the shield, and the shield's light shone even brighter than before.

Clearly, judging from the visual effect, the "shield" absorbed the Honkai energy released by Mei.

"What an amazing shield!"
