Chapter 35: Elysia: Don't Come Over Here!
After leaving those words, Cocolia disappeared with a laugh.
—That wasn't Cocolia's real body at all, but a hyperrealistic holographic projection!
The real Cocolia had already escaped half an hour ago, after she had finished chatting with Grey Serpent.
In fact, the moment Sin had been defeated, Cocolia had already urgently mobilized the Anti-Entropy battleship that belonged to her and was docked in the air above the nearby sea.
However, the consequences of doing so were also obvious.
Even in the night sky of Nagazora City, openly mobilizing a flying battleship into the city would naturally draw attention.
The Far East branch, Schicksal Headquarters, and the Anti-Entropy North American Headquarters had instantly discovered Cocolia's movements.
Although most of them didn't know Cocolia's plans yet, it was undeniable that the measures Cocolia had spent a lot of effort on earlier, to prevent all forces from noticing her, had become ineffective.
But this didn't mean that Cocolia's plan had failed.
Driven by Elysia and the others, this deranged Anti-Entropy executive directly did what Jiang Qiao was most worried about—trying to directly blow up the Honkai energy reactor to trigger the Great Honkai Eruption in Nagazora City.
Of course, there wasn't much difference. Her original goal was to spread the Honkai energy slowly in order to trigger the Great Honkai Eruption as naturally as possible. Now, it was just being done earlier.
The only problem was that, according to the original plan, all forces might have thought that the Great Honkai Eruption in Nagazora City was a natural one.
But with this operation, it was likely to cause other forces to find out that this Great Honkai Eruption had been artificially caused by Cocolia.
This difference would cause a lot of trouble in the follow-up. The moderate faction of Anti-Entropy might also start to look for trouble with her.
But things had come to this, and Cocolia didn't care anymore.
In any case, their leader's life or death was unknown. In this situation, she wasn't afraid of those two fools at all. If the experiment in Nagazora City succeeded, as long as she controlled a Herrscher, then even if their leader suddenly popped up, Cocolia wouldn't have to fear them at all!
You have a Herrscher, and I have a Herrscher too.
And I even have a man-made Walter!
In addition to her cooperative relationship with World Serpent,
Open your eyes and take a look! Who is in charge of Anti-Entropy now?
There is an image here that you can view after the update.
Despite this, Cocolia, who was on the Anti-Entropy battleship, dreaming about the future, still felt a bit annoyed.
It should have been a more perfect plan. It had actually become such a mess because of those three little things.
She even had to sacrifice one of her daughters... That's right, while evacuating, Cocolia had taken advantage of the situation and took Sin with her. This was also why Fu Hua hadn't seen Sin.
But she had abandoned Bronya.
She could have saved her if she wanted. As long as Cocolia wanted to, with the speed of the Anti-Entropy battleship, what was the distance between ME Corp and the Raiden Residence? It was basically on the way!
But in view of Bronya's betrayal, the very angry Cocolia chose to abandon her.
Of course, she had abandoned her, but also not completely.
Because she knew that Bronya would definitely not die in the Great Honkai Eruption. With Project Bunny, there was no need to worry about her safety.
So, it didn't matter if she left Bronya in Nagazora City.
Moreover, since she had control, Cocolia could leave a thorn in Nagazora City.
Afterwards, she could directly use Bronya to recover the Herrscher vessel. How great!
In terms of calculating schemes, Cocolia had made sure she was in a win-win situation—In any case, I'm the one who's going to win!
Meanwhile, Elysia herself had completely panicked.
The three of them were like headless chickens, completely clueless about how to stop this disaster.
Therefore, she could only seek help from the brains of the group—
Elysia: What should I do, Jiang Qiao? That woman named Cocolia is going to detonate the Honkai reactor directly!!
Seeing this message, Jiang Qiao sighed:
"It still came to this."
In fact, he had already expected this outcome from the very beginning.
Because the initiative for the entire event was in Cocolia's hands, even if he tried to compress Cocolia's reaction time as much as possible, with the configuration of Elysia and the others, that mother fox still had the ability to turn on a dime.
So, from the very beginning, he wasn't too optimistic about the idea of saving Nagazora City.
It was only because it was Elysia's wish, her obsession, that he had agreed to accompany her on this journey, even if it meant risking his own life.
As for his initial plan, to directly defeat the big boss Cocolia and end the disaster, that was an extremely ideal outcome.
Indeed, Cocolia herself was also very strong, as could be seen from that chainsaw weapon of hers.
Cocolia wasn't the kind of person who was afraid of death either.
But wanting to defeat her in one go was just a very unrealistic outcome.
If she smelled even a little bit of danger, that mother fox would probably run away.
Even on the list of the hardest characters to kill, Cocolia was second only to Otto, Grey Serpent, and the never-ending-sit-up gods.
After finishing Mobius' interrogation, the pink girl, who had regained her freedom, stretched her back, flaunting the graceful figure of a young girl that was accentuated by the Fire Moth combat suit. Her azure eyes held a hint of helplessness:
"There's no choice, it seems like I'm the only one who can act. It just so happens that things here are also almost done."
"Oh well, it seems like the protagonist always makes their grand entrance at the end, right?"
—Chat Group
Jiang Qiao: Whatever, I'll take care of it!
Elysia: ?
Seeing this message, the somewhat anxious Elysia went from being flustered to even more flustered.
No!
I asked you for ideas, not to actually come over here!
—Elysia didn't want Jiang Qiao to appear in front of her. Although she did very much want to appreciate her own beautiful body from a different perspective, in this current situation, wasn't [Elysia] coming over here just making things worse?!
If it was to say that fighting Cocolia was not a good idea, then it was still alright. Elysia felt that even if Jiang Qiao was using her body weakly, the fairy lady, who was confident in her body, still felt that it would be a strong helper.
But in this situation, Jiang Qiao coming over was just asking for death!
The countdown timer that Cocolia had left was only five minutes, and now it was only three minutes left.
With no enemies for him to fight, Jiang Qiao coming over here would just mean he was waiting to be blown up by the Honkai energy bomb with them.
Even if she was very confident, but for Elysia, who didn't know anything about herself and had also not actually experienced a Great Honkai Eruption before, she didn't know if her body would have any problems if it took a hit from a huge blast of Honkai energy.
Of course, don't misunderstand.
She wasn't worried about her body. She was worried about Jiang Qiao!
If she had problems, then at least Jiang Qiao could still live on as a cute girl.
But if Jiang Qiao came over and had problems together with her, then wouldn't they have just lost together?
At this moment, Elysia suddenly regretted asking Jiang Qiao for help.
—Don't come over here!
