Chapter 21: Cocolia, the Mother of Falsehood

　　On the battlefield where ice blades were flying everywhere, the black fighter plane moved left and right like an agile bat. After showing the extreme operation of a famous pilot in World War II, a crack appeared on the upper shell of the plane.

　　Batman, wearing a wingsuit, jumped out of the plane, and after finding the right angle, he glided towards the Joker as easily and gracefully as a sugar glider.

　　"Great, little bat, that's right! This is the stage that belongs only to you and me!"

　　The Joker laughed heartily when he saw the bat being forced out as he had planned. As a qualified duet partner, he waved his arms and threw the bats around casually like confetti, not caring whether they could hit or not, the main purpose was to create a dramatic effect.

　　As the force was applied, the □□ formed beautiful parabolas in the air. The violently shaken □□ inside exploded in mid-air, turning into gorgeous sparks, echoing the icicles thrown by Cocolia.

　　Batman slightly gathered up his flying cape and adjusted his flight path by changing the angle. He leaned sideways past the smoke and explosives, then reached for his belt. A cold light flashed between his fingers, and several bat darts flew out, sniping □□ in mid-air.

　　Boom boom boom boom! The black smoke blinded everyone's eyes for a moment.

　　From the time the Joker threw the explosives to the time Batman dodged the explosives and used bat darts to separate the explosives, there was only a few seconds between them. However, it was this moment of line of sight barrier that caused the Batfighter to disappear from everyone's sight.

　　The Joker knows it very well. He certainly knows what tricks his dear little Bat is playing. Batman also knows that the Joker will definitely pay attention to the Batplane, but the outcome of a battle is often only a matter of moments, and human energy has its limits. The Joker is not a god, and he will inevitably reveal his flaws.

　　Off the stage, Beloberg's men were fighting in a group. Just as Bronya had promised before the battle, they would try their best to contain Cocolia and give Batman time and space to defeat the Joker.

　　On the stage, the Joker watched Batman slide all the way in front of him: "Foul, so foul, what's wrong with that shield!"

　　He shouted loudly in dissatisfaction, and all the explosives that exploded in front of Batman only splashed a layer of crystal blue barrier in front of him, while Batman's behavior of taking out the bat dart and shooting was not restricted at all, which was as outrageous as the effect in the game.

　　The Joker pursed his lips. He must have lost his mind to fight Batman alone. Uncle Joker always relied on wits to fight -

　　He raised his right hand into a fist with his right thumb raised high, and a red button emerged from his palm.

　　“Clang clang! This is—” The Joker suddenly retracted his hand, ducked his body, and dodged a bat dart: “Our old friend, the beautiful Miss Button, the time bomb controller!”

　　He smiled and put his palms on his chest: "Now, no one can attack me. Imagine that the poor clown uncle was frightened by the flying blade and accidentally cried out, and then, boom!"

　　The Joker made a mushroom bomb shape with his hand in a pretentious manner: "Everyone was blown into fireworks. This beautiful little baby was released after serving his sentence. Not only this poor city, but Gotham, Metropolis and even the Amazon jungle are all covered with ice and snow."

　　"What would you do then, flying mouse? Would you try to survive with just your blue turtle shell? What a pitiful little bat~"

　　Batman had to stop throwing the bat darts. With his understanding of this psychopath and his years of fighting wits with various people in Gotham, he didn't break his defense for the time being: "What do you want to do?"

　　After hearing this question, the clown made a thinking gesture:

　　"Good question, Batman. You hit the nail on the head. Uncle Joker wants to do so many things, such as making dear Harley realize where her destiny is, and making Gotham completely submit to me."

　　"Like, let dear, unfallen, eternal-as-the-sun Batman kill someone?"

　　The Joker's eyes became brighter and brighter as he spoke: "Now, now, Batman, how did it feel to have Robin die in your arms? That poor boy must have thought you would avenge him, right?"

　　"It's such a wonderful feeling to break all his bones with my own hands, little bat. Are you worried that dear Uncle Clown will never feel this wonderful touch again, so you found a new victim so quickly?"

　　"Calm down, B." Tim became more and more horrified as he listened, and quickly spoke into the headset to remind Batman not to fall into the Joker's trap.

　　Silence, an uneasy silence. After three full seconds, the silence was broken, and Tim heard the voice from the other end through the empty headset:

　　"I'm OK."

　　Batman said quietly, and Tim couldn't hear a hint of emotion in his voice.

　　The situation on the stage came to a stalemate, and the people below were not having a good time either. Cocolia's attacks were swift and ruthless, and Xiluwa and Xier were busy just cleaning up the ice spears she threw.

　　Under the purple thunder sound, phantom butterflies flickered in the ice and snow. Bronya kept shooting with her rifle, and Jeppard used a defense device modified from a piano case to block the ice blades shot down on everyone's heads.

　　"Ice and snow will eventually bury you." With Cocolia's ruthless judgment again, more ice spears were thrown from the sky. Jeppard once again gathered his protective power and barely defended against this attack.

　　"Good opportunity!" Seele shouted: "Bronya!"

　　"In order to protect and defend, defeat her, Seele!" Bronya swung the tip of her gun, pointing directly at Cocolia who was firing an ice spear and exposing a flaw.

　　“Good!” Feeling the power that Bronya exerted on her, Seele jumped up quickly, stepped on an ice spear and launched herself out:

　　"Fade away with the butterflies, phantoms of the past!"

　　Seele, who had benefited from Bronya's combat skills and ultimate, delivered the winning blow. The player, wearing sunglasses, looked at the large number he had created and burst into tears: "If I put Pella on, the defense reduction can be even greater... woooo..."

　　Xier's hunting power illuminated the entire sky in an instant. After the light flashed, Cocolia, who had a big hole in her abdomen, staggered and knelt on one knee with one hand leaning on the ice spear. Xier put the sickle against her neck and was about to make a final blow -

　　“Get out of the way, Seele!” Bronya rushed forward, threw Seele to the ground and rolled her several times, even her hair got tangled up.

　　There was no time to marvel at this being my favorite episode. Cocolia, who was originally just skin and blood, suddenly glowed with brilliance. All the free world-breaking energy in the air was gathered in her body. She completely accepted the power of the star core and abandoned her human identity. The singer—

　　The Mother of Falsehood, Cocolia, has arrived.

　　"Is this the attitude you want, Cocolia?" Shiluwa murmured to herself.

　　In front of her eyes, this Cocolia no longer had a human appearance. Her body turned into the outline of the Rift, and all her features were covered in colorful black. Ice and snow surrounded her body. She was hovering in the air, with a crown of ice and snow on her head.

　　“Damn it, it was so close…” Seele, who was held by Bronya, pounded the ground weakly. She was so close to killing the phantom, but in the end, she gave it the opportunity to enter its complete form.

　　The players pounded the ground simultaneously in their consciousness space: “If I had known earlier, I should have used Sylva’s ultimate as well!”

　　System: "If you are bad at it, practice more. If you can't afford to lose, don't play."

　　The shockwave of Cocolia's transformation swept to the controller. The clown hung on a wire and swayed from side to side, like a poor idiot: "Wow, the Ice Queen~"

　　The appearance of the Mother of Illusion gave everyone a huge sense of oppression. The machine that measured energy on Batman broke down after a sharp beep. If the previous Cocolia only had the power of a superman, the current Cocolia could tie up ten supermen and blow them up.

　　Beloberg's people had previously defeated Cocolia, who was equivalent to a Superman, with ordinary fists and kicks, but ten Supermen were still too many, and there was no kryptonite here.

　　"Bronya, you could have been the mother of a new world." The singer with a blurred face sang, her voice like an echo from the abyss.

　　"Bronya, how did you defeat her before?" asked Silva in embarrassment.

　　Bronya felt a little bitter when she heard this: "We didn't defeat Mother in this form at the time. At the last moment, it was the Pillar of Creation that suddenly came alive and dealt Mother a fatal blow."

　　"Pillar of Creation? Could it be that the Amber King has appeared?" Shiluwa was stunned.

　　"No," Xi'er shook her head. "After defeating Cocolia, I re-investigated the Pillar of Creation. It showed obvious signs of being manipulated by outsiders."

　　"But most of the drawings of the Pillars of Creation were sealed in the Klipper Palace. I went to the data room and found that the materials were still kept intact in the filing cabinets, without any signs of being moved."

　　Bronya continued.

　　"So which god has appeared? What has our Beloberg hidden?" Sylva was speechless. No wonder Bronya restarted the Pillars of Creation project so urgently. It turned out that she was on guard against this unknown god.

　　Jeppard, who had been listening, suddenly spoke up at this time: "Lady Bronya, if necessary, the Silver Mane Guards can always find out who passed by the Pillar of Creation at that time."

　　"I'm sorry, it's too late to say this now. Since he didn't want to show up at the time, I couldn't force him to show up. Who knew things would turn out like this."

　　Bronya smiled bitterly.

　　At the same time, Sambo, who was supposed to retreat, stood on the top of the Pillar of Creation, from which he could just see the battlefield of Everwinter Ridge.

　　"I originally just wanted to be a clown behind the scenes, while the big names on the stage performed the glorious and beautiful stories. Oh my, now it has turned out like this..."

　　Sambo looked at Batman who was confronting the Joker with his unfathomable green eyes: "My lord, I'll give you everything. Don't let old Sambo down~"
