After arranging things with Cocolia, Nero turned around.
The kid held the Stellaron in one hand and dragged Black Cut with the other as he walked up to everyone.
"So, how about it? Am I handsome?"
"Handsome, super handsome! Nero is amazing!" March praised him without holding back.
Stelle looked at the Stellaron in Nero's hand and said, "It feels like… your suppression of the Stellaron is stronger now, isn't it?"
She narrowed her eyes slightly. Even though she could not really tell, her instincts told her so.
"Yeah." Nero nodded, then said calmly, like it was no big deal, "After all, when I helped you before, only Aha was helping. This time, Lan helped too."
The corner of Stelle's eye twitched. "Those two… if I remember right, they're both Aeons, aren't they…?"
"Yep." Nero said. "They're actually pretty nice people. Aha is quite easy to get along with. I'll show you our chat records later. Anyway, Herta is watching too."
Dan Heng twitched the corner of his mouth.
'Aha?'
'Easy to get along with?'
'No way, right?'
Even though the Aeon of Elation is not as infamous as Nanook… his reputation is still not exactly good.
After all, the Tavern's Fools can be really annoying sometimes.
'Are they really easy to get along with?'
'And it is not just the Aeon of Elation, but also the Arbiter-General of the Hunt…'
'Just what kind of kid is this…'
Dan Heng could not help but look Nero up and down, but in the end, his gaze landed on Black Cut.
"Nero, this sword of yours…"
"How is it? Cool, right?
"A new friend gave it to me. A Knight of Pure Beauty called Argenti."
"A gift from a friend…"
Dan Heng lowered his eyes and muttered softly. When he raised his head again, he found the boy had already plopped down on the ground, raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his head, and was mumbling, "So tired…"
The corner of Dan Heng's mouth lifted by a few pixels. This was more like how he usually was.
As soon as the skill ended, Nero felt completely exhausted.
But even so, he could still probably manage a few jumping slashes.
He looked at his companions and said, "By the way, where's Mr. Yang? He's not here? Sampo should have already brought Mr. Yang over, right?"
March shook her head. "When that big robot started moving, Mr. Yang helped us out too. But after that, I didn't see him anymore… the big robot?"
After a brief silence, the Trailblazer squad all raised their heads at the same time and looked toward the Engine of Creation.
Sure enough, they saw a familiar figure on its shoulder.
'When did he get up there?!'
"Mr. Yang really does love big robots…"
After saying that, Nero continued, "I've got more good news. Listen to me!"
Dan Heng and the other two nodded and made listening poses.
"Our Fragmentum industry plan should be ready to kick off! Argenti saved a company employee named Martin. The company side should get back to us soon."
"The final negotiations will probably be at Herta Space Station. Oh, and I even invited outside help!"
"The Xianzhou Luofu's Whistling Flames Merchant Guild is willing to help. Their chief representative, Sister Tingyun, should be coming over soon. In short, we're going to be very busy next!"
"You did all of that by yourself?" Stelle blinked.
"Of course!" Nero said proudly.
"I really put my heart into it! And don't you want the company's newly released bat and unmanned flight series windbreaker? As long as the plan succeeds, we'll be financially free!"
Stelle squatted down, grabbed Nero's hands, and said seriously, "Please make sure it succeeds!"
"Then I can buy the new camera and dresses too, right?" March's eyes sparkled.
At this moment, everyone was very happy.
Only Dan Heng, standing in a corner no one noticed, did not look so good.
"People from the Luofu are coming too… I should probably avoid them."
At this time, Bronya and the others walked over.
At the very back was Cocolia.
Cocolia's body was bound by a current of wind, completely looking like a captured criminal.
Bronya actually did not want her mother to be in such a miserable state, but this wind was created by Nero.
This kid was very reasonable, and most of the time easy to talk to…
But when it came to Cocolia, he was clearly not the easy-to-talk type.
Still, for Bronya, this was better than her mother disappearing from this world entirely.
Even though she did not know what kind of work this kid planned to make her mother do, at least in the future, there should still be a chance to see her.
That was already very good.
She did not dare to ask for more.
"Everyone… thank you." Bronya said to the Trailblazer squad.
Everyone nodded. Then Dan Heng spoke again, "Now that the Stellaron has been suppressed, the cold wave will gradually subside."
"The Fragmentum on this world will no longer expand violently, but it also will not disappear on its own. Jarilo-VI and Belobog have gained the possibility of rebirth, but that will still require time and your efforts."
"Mm." Bronya smiled and nodded. "We've already passed the hardest hurdle. From now on, things will get better."
Then Bronya sighed, her gaze lingering on Nero for a moment, and said, "There's still a lot to do. The huge commotion caused by the Engine of Creation must have caught the attention of the city's residents."
"Not to mention the even more terrifying phenomena of the sky cracking apart and the earth roaring."
"Many doubts need explanations, and many truths need to be made public… but I don't know how to make everyone accept all of this."
"Just tell the truth. Why make it so complicated?"
Nero, who had never lied in his life, said it matter-of-factly.
"There are monsters, heroes, traces of battle, and hope for tomorrow!"
Bronya stared at Nero, stunned for a moment, then smiled. "I know what to do now. Thank you."
"Huh?" March looked left and right in confusion. "What secret talk are you two having?"
After a brief silence, Seele asked, "Bronya, what's your decision?"
Bronya smiled softly, "There are monsters, heroes, traces of battle, and hope for tomorrow.
"The people cannot live in fear and distrust, and Belobog cannot survive under such circumstances."
"Supreme Guardian Cocolia was gravely injured while protecting Belobog."
"From travelers who descended from beyond the skies, she learned the secret of the Stellaron. She also learned that the first Supreme Guardian, Alisa Rand, failed to destroy the Stellaron…"
"She decided to stand together with the foreign travelers against this power far beyond mortal imagination."
"Everyone confronted the manifestation of the Stellaron, the monster known as the Mother of Deception, on the northern snowfields of Belobog."
"In the end, with the Engine of Creation activated by the Supreme Guardian and the travelers' assault, the darkness shrouding Belobog was successfully driven away."
"The travelers are willing to help Belobog restore its prosperity, and Mother will also devote herself even more actively to the front lines of Belobog's revival."
"From now on, this is the truth."
After speaking, Bronya looked again at the Trailblazer squad.
"Most things are easy to explain, but the world-splitting phenomenon is unavoidable. As foreign heroes, you might one day stand in the Administrative District plaza alongside the Everwinter Monument."
"Oh! If you're making statues, remember to make me look handsome!"
Nero said with shining eyes, then turned to his companions and said, "Now we're characters in legends too!"
