"Do you know why I am left with only this ruined body?"
Shesis caught up to the group and asked with a complicated expression.
"You obviously couldn't beat that invader, so you could only run for your life, right?"
Qianjie, being the ultimate straight-talking man, made Shesis nod awkwardly at his blunt words.
"Yes. As a Titan, I was beaten by an invader until my divine body shattered. I had no choice but to split apart my Core Flame and barely escape..."
"I truly could do nothing against him. I could only split my body and flee to avoid further harm... How utterly humiliating..."
Shesis sighed as he followed alongside the group.
"A Titan getting beaten down, huh?"
Qianjie sneered disdainfully. Shesis knew full well that even at his peak, he could not defeat that man in the black robe and cloak, let alone this fiery masked man.
He could only remain silent and follow everyone through the teleportation device to the highest point, where the Throne of Enlightenment stood.
"So the portion of Core Flame you split off was taken by that black-robed man?"
Theresa looked at Shesis curiously. The others also perked up their ears, waiting to hear his answer.
"Of course not. At the critical moment, I exploited the blind spot right under his nose."
"I let that half of the Core Flame reside within Anaxa's flesh, evading the search while waiting for my return so we could fuse again and repair it."
"After all, the scholars of the Grove of Epiphany fought the Black Tide monsters to defend my Core Flame and died bravely. I truly could not stand by and watch the children of man fight and die for me without doing anything..."
"So I intervened, and then..."
Shesis's voice grew quieter and quieter. Being
