Collapse of iron, but I am the Supreme Strange

So Dan Heng raised his eyebrows and slowly put Gus on the ground.

"That's right. The Yuan-devouring Beast is a magical thing. The wounds it causes cannot be healed. It should come here to find me and won't run around anymore."

An Yi explained with his arms folded across his chest.

Dan Heng looked up and found that there was a portal emitting flames next to An Yi. A group of people who were obviously civilians were passing through the portal to return to the safe administrative area.

"It seems that all the rift monsters on your side have been cleared."

Dan Heng said.

"Of course. The Supreme Sorcerer is very efficient. Even more efficient than Asuma, the Devil's Blade."

As An Yi spoke, he walked over to Dan Heng.

"I talked to these people for a while. I think..." An Yi paused: "The situation on this planet may not be as simple as we thought."

"What do you mean?"

"Here's some information. Beloberg has two urban areas, the upper and lower. Have you heard of this?"

"No." Dan Heng shook his head. "So, there is another Beloberg underground?"

"Yes." An Yi stamped his feet on the ground: "Like Piltover and Zaun."

"...Where is that?"

Dan Heng was a little confused.

"Well - the upper city is the administrative, residential and commercial area, and the lower city is the mining area." An Yi shrugged helplessly: "To put it more clearly, the upper city is new and good, and the lower city is old and dilapidated, and the living standards are also very different. That genius guardian Cocolia issued an order more than ten years ago to completely cut off the communication between the upper and lower cities."

An Yi's words made Dan Heng think - if what An Yi said was true, then such a social structure would inevitably lead to a serious widening of the gap between the rich and the poor, and even deliberate discrimination... and the polarization of social classes and wealth that is too solidified is a terrible phenomenon for any country, right? If this world is already struggling to survive under the attack of the cold wave and the rift, this kind of decree will only make Beloberg's situation worse. It can't even unite everyone in a city to face the difficulties of survival together. What is this Cocolia doing?

"It seems you've thought of it, too." An Yi looked at Dan Heng's thoughtful expression and said, "To be honest, this has nothing to do with us, but I'm still curious about why Cocolia did this."

————————————————————

Chapter 45 An Yi: Pillow fight?

"So you're just curious," Danheng said, "and you're not going to do anything."

"What can we do?" An Yi asked back, "Are we really going to kill that Cocolia just because someone with an IQ of more than 20 is more suitable to be the Great Guardian than her? This is an internal matter of Beloberg, and it should be done by the Beloberg people themselves."

Dan Heng nodded.

Indeed, if Cocolia was not related to the star core, then An Yi, whether from the perspective of a pioneer or from the perspective of a supreme wizard, would have no reason to blast the great guardian into the sky. They were not Nanook's followers.

"But..." An Yi nodded, and suddenly said: "If I really want to intervene in the social conflicts in Beloberg, I must at least have a reason to do so."

"What kind of reason?"

Dan Heng was a little curious.

"It touches my bottom line as a [superhero], so I need more information... maybe you will know soon." An Yi said with a smile.

"Ah—I found you!"

The voices of Sanyueqi and Xing sounded behind Danheng.

"Gus is really fast at running. Phew, luckily he didn't hurt anyone else."

The two girls who arrived late were panting, so An Yi also asked, "So, you have seen the Yuan Devouring Beast show its strength?"

"You are showing off your tentacles!" San Yue Qi said angrily, "You scared me to death!"

"I've warned you a long time ago." An Yi shrugged.

"What were you and Danheng talking about just now?" Xing asked.

"It's about a friend of mine who was captured by Gus and turned into a one-eyed man."

"friend?"

"Hmm... a black-marinated egg with a mouth full of fucking shit."

"Can your Supreme Sorcerer be friends with boiled eggs?"

An Yi smiled and shook his head, then turned around and gestured to the portal: "Let's not talk about this for now. I have moved all the people away. Let's go over there too."

So, the four members of the train team returned to the square of the administrative district one by one. When the portal was closed, Xing was slightly stunned: "It seems that Gus is still in there."

"Oh...it shouldn't matter." An Yi replied: "It will find its way back, and Gus doesn't really like to eat people."

"Eating humans sounds horrible no matter how you listen to it!" protested March 7.

After helping Beloberg solve the problem of the Rift invading the city, the four members of the train crew decided to return to the previous topic - that is, where to go to appreciate the culture and customs of Beloberg.

After walking around the square in the administrative district for a long time, An Yi and his friends met a somewhat unexpected person: Bronya.

The child seemed to know what happened in the commercial street, so she expressed her gratitude to the train crew, which did help Beloberg solve a big problem. However, Bronya's face was a little hesitant, as if there was something she wanted to say but stopped.

It seems that Cocolia said something to her? An Yi couldn't help but think.

But it doesn't matter anymore. An Yi doesn't think that Cocolia, or even the entire Beloberg, can cause any waves under his nose.

What he had to do now was to wait for Cocolia to meet him tomorrow at noon and then expose her connection with the star core - as for other things, he might not have the time to take care of them.

Bronya and the train crew recommended several attractions in Beloberg, such as the Golden Opera House, the History Museum, the [Perpetual Motion] Mechanical House, and the Eternal Winter Monument. After listening to Bronya's general introduction, she left on the grounds that she had many matters to deal with in the army.

It is worth mentioning that An Yi met a group of children who were visiting under the Eternal Winter Monument. An Yi seemed to have found his target. After the girl named Pella something finished her introduction, he immediately used magic to get along with them.

An Yi's hobby of playing with children made some people in the train crew feel confused, so Sanyueqi and Danheng looked at each other, not understanding why An Yi wanted to chat with a group of children about this and that.

At this moment, Xing seemed to have seen something in the corner of the street. Her eyes lit up, and then she left the train crew and ran over alone.

"Xing? What are you doing...eh?"

Sanyueqi was a little curious, but after seeing Xing's actions, the curiosity on her face turned into surprise and confusion.

What is Xing doing? She seems to be rummaging through the trash can?

Dan Heng also didn't understand why Xing did this. He and San Yueqi rushed over and watched Xing rummaging through the trash can from a distance.

"Oh...I don't want to say this...but this smell is really strong."

They didn't want to get close because the trash can didn't seem to be sorted - whether they could find treasures was another matter, but they would definitely find all kinds of stains and kitchen waste.

But it was different for Xing. She didn't look like a scavenger at this moment. The way she rummaged through the garbage was just like a gold digger - yes, like the gold diggers who searched for treasure in the American West hundreds of years ago, with a passion to get rich and a desire for dreams.

There was a light in her eyes that Sanyueqi and Danheng could not understand, which made them feel that the trash can did not contain garbage, but treasures guarded by a giant dragon.

"......She has this kind of hobby?" Sanyueqi whispered to Danheng.

"I just discovered it too." Dan Heng said, "Maybe there really is some treasure in the trash can?"

"Are fish bones after eating considered treasures? She wouldn't be possessed by Gus, right?"

"what--"

Xing suddenly shouted.

Sanyueqi and Danheng were stunned. After looking at each other, they pinched their noses and slowly moved closer.

Could it be that Xing really found something?

Wow—there’s light coming out of the trash can!

Xing's eyes widened.

Yes, that is the golden light! Sparks are coming out one by one!

San Yue Qi opened his mouth slightly and said, "You really dug up a treasure?! This special effect, could it be some kind of heirloom?"

The glowing object was hidden very deep, as if it was at the very bottom of the trash can - Xing's hands were not long enough, so she simply kicked her feet and slid into the trash can.

"Uh-huh——"

As Xing shouted, the sparks became more conspicuous - but why did this special effect suddenly look familiar?

Sanyueqi and Danheng quickly moved to the trash can and lowered their heads to look inside.

Then they saw the scenery in the center of the administrative district square. A portal emitting golden sparks connected the bottom of the trash can and the side of the Eternal Winter Monument.

San Yueqi raised his head and stared at Dan Heng: "It's so strange... An Yi likes to play with children, Xing likes to look through trash cans... Dan Heng, do you have any strange hobbies that you haven't told me?"

"...No matter how you think about it, I should be the one asking you this, right?" Dan Heng replied speechlessly.

"What are you doing?" An Yi looked at Xing who fell to the ground from the trash can through the portal: "Are you an American homeless person from somewhere? You are so skilled at opening treasure chests in the wild."

"So that golden light is your portal—" Xing sat on the ground and shouted in dissatisfaction: "Ah—why is it not gold, why is it not treasure—An Yi! Make a treasure out of the trash can for me!"

“Why does it have to be in the trash can?”

An Yi was a little confused, but still reached out and pulled Xing up.

The moment An Yi came into contact with Xing, a magic circle swept across Xing's body from bottom to top, and all the dirt and stains on Xing's body disappeared.

"I have also gathered all the information." An Yi looked at the group of children who had already dispersed and said, "You can go and rest first. Let's go. I heard from Bronya before that Cocolia arranged the best room in the Goethe Hotel for us. It's over here."

An Yi followed Bronya's instructions and led everyone to the hotel. San Yue Qi's eyes lit up at the high-end decoration here, and he took everyone to have a good meal with various delicacies recommended by the front desk. Of course, it was Cocolia's money that was spent, so An Yi and the others didn't feel bad.

"Phew—I'm so full."

Sanyueqi touched his stomach and said, "I am full and satisfied. Today's pioneering journey was really fulfilling."

"Yeah, especially your stomach."

An Yi said.

"Hey - are we going to take a rest next?" asked March 7.

"Of course, is your energy bar infinite?"

"Huh? I thought there would be a pillow fight."

San Yue Qi looked at Xing and Anyi with some anticipation: "Really? Really? Come and play for a while!"

Xing, like Sanyue, showed a very interested expression: "It sounds fun, Anyi, you should come and join us!"

"Haha... childish." An Yi sneered at San Yue Qi's suggestion, and then slowly said: "... count me in too."

"Okay! An Yi, you'll see how powerful I am later!"

"Humph, you think too simply, little Sanyue." An Yi raised three fingers and shook them at Sanyueqi: "The third unspoken rule of getting along with the Supreme Mage is that you should never use common sense to understand the activities that the Supreme Mage participates in."

"W-What do you mean......"

I have a bad feeling on March 7th.

————————————————————

"You...you call this a pillow fight?"

A few minutes later, in March 7's room, the girl was looking at the scene in front of her in a daze.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" An Yi replied.

Standing in front of San Yue Qi were a few pillows that suddenly grew strong arms and legs, like muscular wrestlers.

The pillows were posing, making all kinds of muscle-showing and provocative movements, waiting for March 7 to attack them.

Sanyueqi and Xing turned their heads and looked at An Yi, who was sitting in a chair drinking tea and watching the show.

"No problem, it's just a pillow fight." An Yi took a sip of hot tea and said, "It's just you two fighting with pillows, it's exciting, right? I'll be the referee, and I'll ring the bell when the time is up."

As An Yi spoke, he took out a small bell and shook it in his hand.

Chapter 46 I Forgot Who She Was

Wrestling is fighting with bare hands, using various techniques to knock the opponent to the ground.

Just like now——

San Yueqi stood firmly, spread his feet slightly apart, lowered his center of gravity, and breathed slowly.

Great, this is the last pillow man.

Just now, Xing killed one with a knife, killed one with a throw, killed another with a flying kick, and killed another with an elbow.

In comparison, I had to fight with a pillow man for several minutes before I could knock it down. Is it true that the archer's close combat is no match for the one with a baseball bat?

Xing leaned against the wall, panting. It seemed that these muscle pillows were really giving it a hard time.

Now there is only one pillow man left out of the six. It seems like victory in the game is already in the bag.
