Collapse Iron, Knight Power refreshes every week Chapter 135

Companions, this was a very important word for the Titan Ironia.

It was ‘born’ because of this word, and it launched countless struggles against the swarm to protect its companions.

To ensure its companions could survive, it cooperated with those people and eventually became the frontline of the war.

It no longer remembered how many companions had died.

All it could remember was that it was for a better future.

A centuries-long struggle for them to live freely.

However, in the end, everything changed, and this also gradually led it into madness and extremism.

The attitudes of the people who had initially spoken well to it slowly changed.

Initially, the people wholeheartedly fought against the swarm that threatened the entire universe.

But later, only their race was left, struggling alone at the front.

Later, even the provision of logistics and weapons seemed so powerless, so arrogant.

More and more companions were created, and it thought it could witness a life of freedom with them.

But the number of deaths increased exponentially, and the cries of “For the Empress” before their deaths made it want them to have a better life even more.

However, the final outcome finally arrived. Perhaps it was just someone’s unintentional remark, complaining whether they would eventually be annihilated by these androids.

Or perhaps it was just because of the indifferent and disgusted eyes of the crowd below when it flew over the peaceful zone, it gradually understood one thing.

That was, the only one who cared was itself.

However, by then, it was too late.

The swarm had been completely eliminated, and the entire galaxy had entered a joyful and satisfied period of enjoyment.

They were the force that had eliminated the swarm, which many people dreaded.

They had gained a high reputation in the universe.

When they went out, whoever saw the medals on their bodies would step back two steps in deference.

And the price paid was merely those dispensable androids, which could be produced infinitely with just some resources.

They only needed to fight on the front lines, while the residents who enjoyed themselves in the back had much more to consider.

Some even thought that these androids were too numerous and detrimental to the stability of the nation.

However, in its eyes, all of this was betrayal!

Its words were discarded as useless, and it watched its companions die foolishly.

Without an ounce of its wisdom, without an ounce of its thought.

It was pushed step by step to the most extreme position.

So, it destroyed everything.

[As long as they are all as intelligent as me, as long as they are all like me…]

This way, no one can deceive me (us) again, and no one can hurt me (us) again.

It should have been this way, right…?

At this moment, the Titan Ironia began to feel some confusion about what it had always believed in.

It looked at Wang Xi, who was surrounded by the crowd, and then at the empty space beside it, which was completely devoid of anything.

The contrast was so strong that it simply couldn’t understand why things had turned out this way.

Especially the inexplicable emotion surging in its heart, that emotion kept expressing a feeling.

He was the normal one.

No! He was definitely not normal!

He wasn’t intelligent; he only wanted to rush to the front!

He wasn’t brave; he couldn’t even defeat me!

Why him…?

‘Because he is willing to pay for those around him.’

‘Because he helped me, he helped all of us, isn’t that enough?’

The Titan Ironia’s body instantly froze in place.

Inside its body at this moment, there was a mass of something completely incompatible with its surroundings due to the infection of nothingness.

That was what it had been infected with when Yingwei resonated with it just now.

It was the nothingness that had clung to Yingwei for many years, a nothingness that had witnessed all of Yingwei’s past and knew all of Yingwei’s obsessions.

And this obsession had been fulfilled by Wang Xi before, which was why it was displaying such a state at this moment.

‘Although he rushes forward impulsively, aren’t we helped by him because of that?’

‘If he wants to rush, then we’ll just go together. Aren’t companions just people with different personalities who come together for a certain reason?’

‘It can be protecting me, the weakest among everyone, or following that hot-headed idiot. Isn’t that the meaning of a companion?’

Is this the meaning of a companion? Shouldn’t a companion be like me, possessing my appearance, my looks, my wisdom, and never being deceived again?

‘Isn’t it?’

Is it?

If so, then what am I…?

Crack crack crack crack crack crack!!!

In everyone’s ears, countless cracking sounds suddenly rang out.

Wang Xi had just gathered with them and, sensing the commotion, sharply looked around again.

However, this time, Shuang Xi realized that it wasn’t the opponent who had launched an attack.

Instead, the sky’s curtain began to shatter!

Cracks spread across the sky’s curtain, and in an instant, broken patterns were carved into it.

Then, with a resounding crash, the curtain that enveloped the entire sky shattered instantly at this moment.

Countless fragments fell from the sky, seemingly symbolizing some fallen object.

[Shut up, shut up!!!]

[I will never admit it, I will never admit such a thing!]

This is absolutely not what I pursue!

[Countless experiences have proven that in the end, there will be nothing left!]

These things, relying on illusory connections, will eventually scatter and completely disappear.

[Only, only if everyone is like me, can it last forever!]

The Titan Ironia swung a palm, and a golden light instantly enveloped the falling fragments of the sky above the entire planet.

Then, something astonishing appeared!

Each of those fragments, at this moment, seemed to be stimulated by something, transforming wildly.

Within a few seconds, an overwhelming number of duplicates had completely covered the sky.

Their bodies glowed with a faint light, and the entire planet seemed to have welcomed daylight.

But the black and red insect features on their bodies made them look incredibly creepy!

[You will drown in these illusory connections!]

With a command from the Titan Ironia, the duplicates that enveloped the entire planet began an endless charge towards Wang Xi and the gathering place on this side of the sun!

It wanted to prove one thing: those who were connected by such illusory bonds would eventually disappear completely.

Only the path it walked was real.

The black and red duplicates at this moment were like a breached dam, pouring down from the sky.

Their speed was so fast, and their impact was so fierce, that they destroyed all the characteristic features on the entire planet.

At this moment, the entire planet was filled with dust and smoke, and as buildings were destroyed, the entire planet instantly became desolate.

Traces of civilization no longer existed; only the sword mark that cut through one-fifth of the planet remained.

Facing the incoming duplicates, Wang Xi was pulled back by a pair of hands.

“We agreed before, these miscellaneous soldiers will be handled by us.”

“Someone always wants to take our job, really, when their own work isn’t even finished.”

“Go quickly, go quickly, there’s nothing for you here anymore.”

They said, appearing like fireflies twinkling in the night, directly facing the black and red tide.

“That guy’s situation isn’t right now, I feel like you can definitely handle it.”

Although Yingwei also wanted to fight alongside Wang Xi, it was clear that she was needed more here at the moment.

That overwhelming tide, no matter how one thought about it, couldn’t be handled by just those fireflies.

Even if they accepted the void fire she transmitted, it was completely impossible for them to recognize these tidal opponents that covered the entire planet.

Therefore, she had to go help the other side.

And before Yingwei left, she specifically instructed one thing: “Remember, never be like me, and also remember not to tell anyone later.”

After speaking, she flew straight towards the location of the second squad ahead.

Wang Xi froze in place, then quickly smiled knowingly, and then turned his gaze to the instigator of all this.

“You are truly too arrogant.”

Clenching his fist, the thrusters on his arm were now bursting with full power.

The bracelet on his wrist was at this moment glowing with a kind of platinum-white light.

Wang Xi stared intently at the Titan Ironia, slowly saying, “You won’t listen no matter how much I talk, so it seems I’ll have to use some practical actions to cure your illness.”

This battle needed to be quick; even a single extra second would put them at risk.

The flames at this moment were almost at maximum power.

His cloak flapped fiercely behind him, and Wang Xi dug his feet into the ground, forcefully resisting the continuously increasing speed.

[Then come on! Let your illusory connection with them completely disappear!]

How can you, a mere mortal, connect with them!

There is only one definition of a companion!

And regarding the words of the guy in front of him, Wang Xi made only one move.

He placed his hand on the throttle grip, and then he twisted the throttle all the way to the bottom!

Great Boost Victory!!!

Boom!!

The ground trembled violently at this moment, and a trace instantly spread from Wang Xi’s previous position to the Titan Ironia’s front.

So fast!!!

The Titan Ironia was stunned by this sudden scene. Its eyes widened, and it realized that Wang Xi had almost instantly crossed countless kilometers and arrived in front of it.

His armor was glowing red from air friction, but even redder than the armor was his fist, which seemed to be shining with light.

Then, a punch landed heavily on the Titan Ironia’s body!

Boom!!!!

A violent shockwave spread wildly at this moment.

The surrounding ground, already shattered from several battles, revealed a huge crater!

The Titan Ironia’s body distorted visibly and sped backward even faster.

Wang Xi’s figure was like a meteor, passing through the smoke of the explosion, chasing relentlessly.

There was no hesitation in his eyes, his clenched fist showed his determination, and the glow of his bracelet at this moment echoed his power!

Punch after punch, like an unending storm, sent the Titan Ironia soaring into space!

Just like a meteor going against the current, it smashed all the obstructing duplicates to smithereens.

The Pitch-Black General’s body was now radiating a reddish glow from air friction, but it seemed to be more than just air friction.

Punch marks appeared one after another on the Titan Ironia’s divine body, but it felt no panic in the face of such injuries.

[It’s completely useless!]

A flash of light on its body, and those punch marks instantly disappeared, as if everything Wang Xi had done just now was mere empty talk.

[Only I can represent companions!]

The Titan Ironia waved its hand, and countless spores were about to parasitize Wang Xi’s body.

However, the red light around his body at this moment slowly showed signs of turning white.

And the Titan Ironia also keenly sensed a familiar feeling.

That was… its power!

The power of the Path of Proliferation? When did he get connected to it?

The Titan Ironia keenly focused its gaze on that spot, which was the opponent’s wrist.

The yellowish-green on top was slowly turning pure white at this moment.

And the starting point of it all was Yingwei’s transformed Elytra fragments!

Her Fireflies were not mechanical constructs, but forged by the blessings of countless people.

Rather than mechanical constructs, they were more like Path constructs, with only a slight mixture of machinery within them.

Spores could not affect their own kind, so the Titan Ironia’s attack missed.

“Companions… are not something to be represented.”

“Those who walk the same path are merely travel companions. Those who can share hardships on different paths are true companions, and you, you don’t even have travel companions.”

“This power is the proof.”

He also felt the power enveloping Wang Xi’s body, and it also allowed him to feel the existences connected to him.

The anxiousness of rushing with all his might, the urgency and concern during battle, everything resonated with Wang Xi.

This feeling…

Wang Xi focused his gaze on a certain spot in space.

Then, countless fireflies came from afar, continuously gathering towards Wang Xi.

Those were the others who had protected the old and weak as they left.

And now, they had rushed from afar to join this support for a friend, and also the final rebellion against a god!

“We’re here!”

Fireflies gathered, enough to slay a god!
