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

"Thank you."

Kiana accepted the hot tea offered by Hilva and subconsciously thanked her.

"Hey, don't be so polite. If it weren't for the information you guys brought me, I might still be in the dark my whole life. But it's good this way... at least my first half of life wasn't completely useless, right?"

Hiluva shook her head sadly, her delicate and mature face filled with regret.

Her regret wasn't for herself, but for Cocolia...

When these "pioneers" passed through that "door" and explained everything to her, she knew that Cocolia had no chance of winning the next battle. But even so, Cocolia would not turn back now.

From beginning to end, Cocolia never had a choice, and neither did she...

Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Beloberg in Progress

"So, all we need to do now is sit here and wait for the mother and daughter to finish their heart-to-heart talk, and then go and beat Cocolia into submission?"

Sylva smoothed a strand of hair behind her ear, and at this moment, she no longer seemed as melancholy as before.

That's just her personality; at least on the surface, she won't be too depressed for too long because of something.

"Yeah, that's about right. For now, we can only wait. I'll keep a close eye on things, and I'll take immediate action if anything goes wrong."

Through an extremely tiny portal, Kiana briefly observed Bronya and Cocolia's current movements with her naked eye. They had only just left the Iron Guard restricted area, so there was no rush. They would go there once they reached their destination.

"Hmm... I didn't expect the portal could be used as a surveillance camera. This ability is so convenient..."

March was filled with emotion. If she had this ability, wouldn't she become the legendary Little March from another dimension?

"Indeed, and Kiana's portal is not affected by the star core."

Dan Heng nodded in agreement, but this did not mean that Kiana could freely travel to any place marked by her throughout the universe. Her teleportation was subject to some invisible restrictions.

If you want to achieve intergalactic teleportation, it's more reliable to use boundary anchoring.

But for [Exploration], this ability is already an invincible "god-level skill".

"It's not that exaggerated."

Kiana smiled faintly, watching March, who was fantasizing about having the ability to teleport and trampling the antimatter army underfoot and punching the abundant monsters, couldn't help but reach out and ruffle her cute pink hair.

"Hmm~ Kiana-nee~ I really think this ability is amazing~"

In March, she took the opportunity to hug Kiana's arm and acted coquettishly towards her.

"Although it's powerful, you can't rely on it too much in March."

Danheng added casually from the side.

"Tch~ Do you think I'm the kind of person who would casually rely on any ability? Danheng, don't slander me! I have a lot of principles!"

March pouted and spread her hands, looking like she had a lot of principles.

"But speaking of which, Kiana, if you can see Bronya's situation directly from here, why not enlarge this portal a bit more? That way, we can all see it!"

The thought of that novel feeling, like watching a movie, made her think it was really interesting!

"..."

"What happened to having principles?"

Seeing this, Seele, who had been silent for a long time, finally made a rare comment.

"Perhaps it's because principles are something that are meant to be compromised."

Looking at the lively and adorable March 7th, Hiluva's red lips curled up slightly, indicating that she was in a really good mood.

"Squeak... Sister, I'm coming..."

As soon as he opened the door, Jepard stared at the unusually bustling mechanical house, almost momentarily lost in thought.

As he gazed at the faces on the wanted posters, his expression gradually grew serious.

“Hiluva, do you know…”

"Alas, here it comes again..."

Hiluva rubbed her forehead in distress. How come her younger brother had turned into a mother figure after growing up?

"Please, Kiana."

Hiluva looked at Kiana with an almost pleading gaze.

"Um... okay..."

When faced with Sylvanas's plea for help, Kiana's lips curled slightly, and then she turned and snapped her fingers lightly at Jepard, who was already ready for battle.

Then Jepard, who was now bound hand and foot, could finally calm down and have a proper chat with them.

After being explained and persuaded by everyone, Jepard finally understood their current situation.

At this moment, Beloberg is teetering on the brink of death, and to save him, the thing called the "Star Core" must be sealed and retrieved...

Faced with the choice between loyalty to the monarch and loyalty to Belloberg... he chose to trust his family.

“I understand, sister… From now on, I won’t interfere with you, but…”

Jepard indifferently turned his head to Kiana beside him.

"Could you please untie me first?"

"Um... of course, sorry, sorry."

Kiana chuckled and withdrew her powers, releasing Jepard who was bound hand and foot.

"Well, thank you very much."

Nodding slightly, Jepard turned his gaze back to his sister, Sylva.

"The force field device of the barrier malfunctioned, so I took advantage of the fact that the attack of the rift is not so intense now and came back to ask you to repair it."

The barrier is Jepard's weapon. From the outside, this thing looks like a large violin case, but inside it is a "force field reaction device", which is also Jepard's weapon in the fight against the Rift.

In the entire city of Belberg, only Silva is capable of repairing this thing.

"I see. That explains why you rushed back. Don't worry, leave it to me. I'll get it done for you in a bit."

Hiluva walked over to Jepard and patted him on the shoulder reassuringly.

How could she not know her younger brother?

Beneath that unassuming exterior, there must lie deep sorrow and indignation...

Cocolia's order to open up living space for Beloberg caused the deaths of many Iron Guards in the snowfield.

The effect achieved was minimal, and it was from that point on that Jepard himself fell into confusion.

Hopefully, after learning the truth, he will be able to resolve his inner conflict...

Afterwards, Jepard returned alone to the Iron Guard restricted area, and Hilva immediately began repairing the [Barrier]. Time slowly moved forward at that moment.

After an unknown amount of time, March was starting to feel drowsy. At that moment, Hiluva, who was standing to the side, finally stood up, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and a look of exhaustion flashed in her eyes.

"Finally fixed this thing..."

Kiana, can you do me a favor?

Hiluva turned around and addressed Kiana, who was still acting as a "surveillance camera" on the counter.

"Of course, if I can do it."

Upon hearing this, Kiana raised her head and smiled at Sylva.

“That would be great. Could you please teleport me to Jepard’s side?”

Despite shouldering that heavy "barrier," Hiluva still appeared relaxed, but beneath that ease lay a sense of heaviness.

"Of course you can, but...aren't you coming with us to find Bronya?"

Looking at Hilva's expression, Kiana seemed to have guessed something.

"No... Although I'd love to witness someone's defeat, but..."

Hiluva reached out and gently touched the "barrier" behind her, then shook her head slightly.

"Clearly, that two-faced Jepard needs my help more."

They say the offensive at the front has eased somewhat, but the fortifications are already in such a state of disrepair... If she still can't see it, then as the "older sister," she's being far too derelict in her duty.

The Silvermane Iron Guards at the front must be experiencing an offensive she can't even imagine right now.

Even without seeing it with her own eyes, just by looking at the scars on the ramparts, she could imagine the current situation facing the Iron Guards.

Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Final Battle! Cocolia!

Kiana had no reason to refuse Hilva's request, and now it was almost time for them to set off.

Kiana woke up the drowsy Little March and turned to tell everyone to get ready. Next, she would open a portal, first sending Sylvanas to Jepard's side, then locating Bronya's position and teleporting directly to her side.

Using the coordinates left on Jepard, Kiana slowly reached out towards the entrance of the mechanical house in front of her, and a dark portal slowly opened.

"Ah~ I can finally move around a bit!"

On March 7th, he stretched his limbs and gently patted his cheeks, trying to rouse himself.

"In March, be prepared. Next, we will face Cocolia, which has been corrupted by the star core."

Danheng reminded March 7th.

"Don't worry! I won't let you down this time!"

Patting his chest, March said confidently.

"Phew, is it finally coming..."

Seele shouldered her scythe, her face resolute.

"From now on, Belloberg's future is in your hands. I'll be waiting for you in the Iron Guard Zone!"

Looking at the group of people who were ready, Hilva smiled slightly, then waved and stepped into the portal first.

"Yes! Just wait for our good news!"

After watching Hilva leave, it was now their turn to face Cocolia.

Kiana used the portal again to check on Bronya's surroundings. Cocolia had already led Bronya to the Everwinter Ridge, indicating that the Star Core was located there.

Through the portal, Kiana could even clearly hear Cocolia brainwashing Bronya.
