Spiral Hall

"Little Kouhua, I thought you had left war behind. It seems the world still refuses to go as you wish." The voice sighed.

"I had no choice, Lord Milondar."

The blue figure nodded, then stopped speaking to Kouhua and turned to Anlek and the others. "I know why you have come, but you may not know the truth behind your actions. You are the Black Iron People. According to my agreement with Crystal, I will not make things difficult for you. The Awakening God is beneath this throne. You may choose the future of this world for yourselves."

With that, he gave Kouhua one last look. His figure gradually faded away and disappeared, leaving only Anlek and the others in the hall.

"So that agreement was real after all," Anlek murmured. "The Crystal Dragon and the Gods made an agreement: the Black Iron Generation could decide their own fate, while the Gods would withdraw from Vonder and no longer interfere in anything on this land. The so-called Azure Knights shattering the heavens was merely the opportunity that began this chapter of history. I'm curious what exactly happened before and after the Battle of Babel."

He looked at Kouhua, but this time, Echisis's Eldest Daughter remained tight-lipped and gave no answer.

That must be an earth-shattering secret.

Anlek thought. But that secret is destined to remain buried beneath the dust. Once Milos awakens, that dark soul will take advantage of the opening. Giant God Milos will no longer be the guardian of order, but a true Dark Giant. Under its power, Eluin will face its true twilight. By then, the so-called secret will be worthless, because the dead have no need for secrets.

He looked at the others. "Get to work. Open a portal to the Sulfur River near the throne."
