Chapter 65 Beating a Dog When It's Drowning
*Sizzle!* *Boom!*
The core nexus shattered like fragile glass under Kiana's golden spear, Piggy Hero's heavy punch, and Gaia's sword light!
The raging azure energy, now freed from its restraints, transformed into countless uncontrolled energy turbulences, frantically assaulting the Zero Mech's body!
The alloy armor twisted, disintegrated, and melted under the tearing force of the internal energy! This Cocolia's ace mech was completely destroyed from the inside by the combined efforts of everyone!
Its massive body collapsed with a thud, as if its bones had been removed, crashing to the ground and stirring up clouds of dust and sparks. Only the sizzling remains remained, announcing its utter end.
Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, the last heavy alloy gate leading to the command room, now free from the obstruction of the Zero mech, was exposed to everyone like a final fig leaf. The red light on the gate flashed frantically, like the desperate heartbeat of Cocolia.
Chen Feng slowly lowered his hand, and the suppressed energy turbulence in front of him completely dissipated with the destruction of the core. He clapped his hands, as if he had only dusted off a bit of dust.
"Alright, the troublesome lump of iron is gone." He turned his head, his gaze passing over his still-shaken and shocked companions, and landed on the tightly closed gate, a cold smile curving his lips.
"Now, it's time to settle the score with that 'Cocolia's mother.'"
Kiana swung her twin pistols, pointing them at the gate, her eyes burning with fury: "You wicked woman! Your end has come!"
""
Bronya piloted her Heavy Bunny into the air, her cannons locked onto the gate, her face as cold as ice. Looking at the door, she seemed to see her own twisted past reflected in it, her voice low and resolute: "For Seele—for all those you've hurt—Cocolia, your 'New World'—ends here!"
Piggy Hero and Gaia also re-established their fighting stances, their lights shining brightly.
"Bang!!!"
A dull, loud thud echoed through the passageway.
The gate shook violently, and a noticeable dent was smashed into the center of the gate, while the sealing strip at the edge shattered instantly!
While Kiana's power cannot "dissolve" matter like Chen Feng's, its pure destructive force is enough to shake this final barrier.
"Cocolia! Get out here!" Kiana's voice was filled with suppressed anger and determination. "Don't hide in there like a coward! You owe Mei, you owe everyone, it's time to pay up!"
Inside the command center, Cocolia trembled with shock at the sudden loud noise and Kiana's roar.
Looking at the shocking dent in the door, her last shred of hope was completely shattered.
She stood up tremblingly, her eyes flashing with madness and resentment, which eventually turned into a numb resignation.
She staggered to the control panel, her fingers trembling, and pressed the command to open the gate.
"Swoosh—click—"
The heavy hum of machinery filled the air as the dented alloy gate slid slowly to the sides with a screeching sound.
The pale light poured out of the command room, illuminating the grim figures of the people outside the door.
Inside the door, Cocolia stood alone by the control panel. The once elegant and powerful woman now looked disheveled and haggard.
Her long, golden hair was somewhat disheveled, and her expensive uniform was covered in dust. She straightened her back, trying to maintain a semblance of dignity, but her slightly trembling hands and pale face betrayed her inner weakness.
Her gaze was first fixed on Bronya, filled with the pain of betrayal and bewilderment. "Bronya—"
"Why?" Her voice was hoarse.
Bronya, controlling the Heavy Bunny, landed slowly beside Kiana, avoiding Cocolia's gaze. Her voice was cold and clear: "Because your path is wrong. For a false new world," sacrificing Seele, sacrificing the orphanage, sacrificing innocent people—Bronya refuses."
Cocolia's lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to argue, but it ultimately turned into a self-deprecating laugh. Her gaze shifted to Kiana, a twisted hatred in her eyes: "That little brat from the Kaslana family—ruined my plans—"
Finally, her gaze fell on Chen Feng. This man, who seemed nonchalant from beginning to end, yet possessed absolute overwhelming power.
Her eyes were filled with the deepest fear and incomprehensible confusion. "You—who are you? You—don't belong to this world!"
Chen Feng strolled forward leisurely, passing Kiana and Bronya, and arrived at the command room door. He glanced at the cold room filled with screens and instruments before finally fixing his gaze on Cocolia, a cold smile playing on his lips.
"Who I am is unimportant," he said calmly. "What matters is that you've gone too far, Mrs. Cocolia."
He pointed at Kiana and Bronya: "These two, one for your best friend whom you framed, and the other for your sister and friend whom you used as tools, are standing here today to demand justice."
"As for me," Chen Feng shrugged, "I'm just a passerby who's been helping out with some family disputes in the group."
Cocolia didn't understand what "in the group" meant, but she understood that Chen Feng meant he was on Kiana and Bronya's side.
Her last resort, the Zero Mech, was destroyed; Bronya rebelled; and the unfathomable man before her was as insurmountable as a mountain—despair overwhelmed her like a cold tide.
"Justice?" Cocolia laughed maniacally, her laughter filled with madness and despair. "What right do you have to uphold justice? Everything I've done is to save this world from collapse and destruction."
"And you, you've ruined all of this!"
Her words came to an abrupt halt, for Kiana had already moved.
The white-haired girl, like a hunting leopard, instantly rushed in front of Cocolia! Without using a gun, a straight punch imbued with Honkai energy landed squarely on Cocolia's abdomen!
"puff--!"
Cocolia's eyes bulged, her body arched like a shrimp, and all her crazy words were slammed back into her stomach by that punch. She gagged painfully, staggered backward, bumped into the cold control panel, and slipped and fell to the ground in a sorry state.
"This punch is for Mei's father!" Kiana's voice was icy, carrying an undeniable sense of judgment. She approached step by step, her golden eyes burning with rage.
Cocolia struggled to get up, but Bronya, controlling the Heavy Bunny, slammed its massive mechanical foot down on the floor in front of her, blocking her path. Cold, mechanical eyes looked down at her.
