Chapter 58: Welt: Huh???
At this moment, Bronya's greatest concern was still not whether her plan would be affected, but whether her mother, who had left Belobog ahead of time to search for the Stellaron, might encounter any mishaps.
Even if the Stellaron had bewitched Cocolia, who could guarantee that the Stellaron would definitely not harm her?
"There's no time to hesitate, hurry! To prevent the 'Supreme Guardian' and the Stellaron from causing greater errors, we must head to the northern snowfields immediately... Rebels from the Underworld, if you are willing to trust me, then follow quickly!"
After saying this, Bronya even directly led the surrounding Silvermane Guards to put away their weapons and began rushing towards the northern frontlines, leaving Seele and her group standing there in place.
"Tch... this Overworlder is really detestable."
Seele gritted her teeth as she watched Bronya's retreating figure, but still turned her head to look at a member of Wildfire beside her: "Please go and inform Oleg and Natasha below about the current situation. The rest of you, come with me and follow that Overworlder!"
Following the anxious Bronya, the group arrived outside the Silvermane Guard camp in almost no time. Yet, even though it was only just dawn, the entire guard camp was already fully active. Silvermane Guards carrying weapons and supplies were running everywhere. Anyone could tell at a glance that something was very wrong here.
"Lady Bronya, you've finally returned!"
Not long after Bronya stepped into the camp, Gepard, who had been responsible for staying behind, immediately rushed over.
"What's going on, Gepard? What happened here?"
Gepard had no time to ask about Seele's group behind them. He lowered his head and spoke in a deep voice: "The current situation is very bad. A large number of Fragmentum creatures have suddenly gathered outside the defensive line. They are not rushing to attack; instead, they have been lingering not far away and gathering together."
"We have never encountered such a situation before. It's as if something is commanding these Fragmentum creatures from behind... At this rate, the number of monsters accumulating outside the defensive line will soon exceed the maximum capacity the line can withstand. When that time comes..."
Gepard fell silent for a moment before continuing: "Heavy casualties among the Silvermane Guards would be the best-case scenario."
If the entire northern defensive line were to completely collapse, forget about how many casualties the Silvermane Guards would suffer; the entire Belobog would likely be completely destroyed in this disaster.
"How could this be?! Could it be... the Stellaron..."
Bronya quickly thought of the key to the problem. Since the Stellaron was the root cause of the Fragmentum erosion, it was also clearly reasonable for it to possess some degree of ability to control Fragmentum creatures.
Apart from Belobog, the outside world was almost completely swallowed by the Fragmentum, and the monsters generated within were countless. Otherwise, Belobog wouldn't have been harassed by these Fragmentum creatures for hundreds of years.
Passive defense absolutely offered no way out. They had to take the initiative to find the Stellaron; only then might Belobog escape this disaster.
Otherwise, they could truly go and welcome the so-called new world.
"Gepard, if we choose to break through from the northern snowfields now to search for the Stellaron, what are our chances of success?"
In Bronya's view, attempting to seal the Stellaron was now the only option—this could not only resolve Belobog's current predicament but also incidentally save her mother.
"That's difficult, Lady Bronya. Not to mention that once we open the blockade, Fragmentum monsters are likely to flood in en masse. There is also a large expanse of Fragmentum in the northern restricted zone. We cannot guarantee what we will encounter once we enter..."
"After all that talk, doesn't it just mean we have to break out and find that thing called a Stellaron to solve the problem? If you Overworlders don't dare, then step aside and don't block my way."
Seeing these guys still hesitating at such a time, Seele immediately stepped forward and interrupted them.
After all, even Kevin had admitted that Stellaron was the source of all disasters. So if she just took March 7th and these outsiders to find that thing, wouldn't all problems be solved?
She didn't even need to cooperate with these dawdling Overworlders.
"..."
Bronya turned her head and stared intently at this rebel in her eyes behind her. After a brief moment of silence, she said firmly: "No, I cannot let you go alone. As the successor to the 'Supreme Guardian,' I have an obligation to protect every citizen of Belobog. And the Underworld is also an inseparable part of Belobog."
"So, I will go with you."
Seele and Bronya locked eyes. The scene remained utterly silent for several seconds before Seele suddenly laughed.
"I misjudged you. I didn't expect an Overworlder like you to actually have some guts?"

Meanwhile, on the Astral Express far beyond in the distant sky.
"Fragmentum activity has intensified—something unknown is happening on Jarilo-VI."
Welt, who had been constantly monitoring the detectors, came to the window and looked out at the massive gray-white planet with Himeko. He couldn't help but ask: "Aren't we making a move yet, Himeko?"
"Have faith in them. This is Stelle's first Trailblaze mission. Without some pressure and twists, how can it become a memory of youth?"
As she spoke, Himeko gently placed her hands on her waist and looked up at her companion beside her: "But you, Welt. I even feel like you've been more tense lately than the children on their adventure? Don't worry; let this adventure memory belong to those three."
"You judge they are safe, correct?"
Faced with Welt's confirmation once again, Himeko still replied seriously: "Mm, there's no Imaginary reaction at the level of an 'Aeon' or 'Emanator.' Rest assured. We shouldn't interfere with a stage belonging to young people. At most... provide a little off-stage assistance."
"Alright..."
Just as Welt was about to try and relax his mind, suddenly another voice belonging to a third party echoed within this carriage—
"Since from the beginning there was no intention to directly save this civilization, it's better not to intervene additionally—if a bird wants to learn to fly, it can only rely on itself."
Welt sharply turned around. Upon seeing that familiar figure, his body, which had just managed to relax somewhat, instantly tensed up again. While uttering each word of the other's origin clearly, he didn't dare shift his gaze away from him for even a moment.
"World Serpent Sovereign—Kevin Kaslana..."
