"Now I, Anaxagoras of the Grove of Epiphany, tell you this—"
Anaxa spread his arms, his expression defiant.
"Everything promised by the Journey of the Spark is true!"
"Because the Demigod of Kephale foretold in prophecy, Phainon of Aedes Elysiae, will use his complete, unbroken Remembrance to recreate us all in the New World!"
"Huh?" Phainon stared blankly and pointed at himself. "Me?"
"That's right," Anaxa said solemnly.
"Titans bearing Core Flames were the Chrysos Heirs of the past, and Chrysos Heirs bearing those same Core Flames are the Titans of the future—"
"And all our souls will endure forever through the miracle of the Negative World—"
"I promise that everyone under Kephale's protection will enter that newborn world!"
The spectators in the stands broke into heated discussion.
For Okhema's citizens, it was a lot to take in.
This generation of Chrysos Heirs would be the Titans of the next life, while this generation's Titans had been the Chrysos Heirs of the last...
So Phainon, that seemingly useless pauper, would become the majestic Kephale in the next world?
"Why... does that make the Titans seem less impressive?" one citizen asked, tilting his head.
"Is there evidence for any of this? Or is that Earth Beast making things up again?"
"It sounds like it might be true..."
"So even if we die now, we'll come back to life in the next world?"
"Could it be... that we've already lived life after life...?"
"Then what's the point?"
Kenis's eyes widened at Anaxa's claims.
"What?!"
"Even in the next life, we'll have to bow down and worship you?!"
She could not accept that.
She rounded on Anaxa.
"Silence! You blasphemous vermin, don't think you can mislead the people with your lies! What proof do you have—"
"I told you not to interrupt me."
