The Scepter δ-me13 sounded a warning again.
"I'm here. Don't be afraid."
[>>> Error process: parsing in progress...]
"Don't let it interrupt you."
"They always sat together."
Cyrene smiled. "Don't feel sorry for me, my good friend."
"If there are no new blanks, how can the epic be continued?"
What is "[blank]"?
Demiurge attempted to reflect on his own, but ultimately looked at Ye Yan, who was listening quietly.
"Who knows? It could be a state, or it could be [ Eternity ]."
"[Blank] is [ Eternity ]." Demiurge remembered this concept, then turned back to Cyrene:
"I'm so lucky to have someone like you, who never misses a listener, during this long wait for the ' Savior '."
"That's enough, isn't it?" Cyrene said.
"Not enough. Not enough," Demiurge tried to persuade her to stay. " Peaches, don't go."
"In this way, I can stay in the past with peace of mind. As for when [tomorrow] will arrive..."
"Then I'll leave it to the next one, [ Cyrene ], to continue waiting."
Cyrene's figure disappeared.
" Peaches is gone."
Demiurge watched the direction she disappeared in, silently making a decision. "I need. New. [ Eternity ] and [blank]."
"Next. Cyrene. Is there a [blank]?" She began to think, her goal clear. " Peaches, don't be afraid. I'll help you find the [blank]."
" Cyrene. Is Peaches. Is love."
Therefore, first there is [love], then [ Cyrene ], then [emptiness].
"Search for [love]."
The words had barely left his lips when the voice of the unfamiliar Intellitron echoed throughout the space:
"The development of [ Erudition ] has no intersection with the creation of [consciousness], and their underlying principles are even contradictory."
"Without consciousness, there is no foundation for the 'heart,' and one cannot possess true emotions."
"Consciousness? Emotion? Sadness. I don't understand."
This was still too difficult for Demiurge, which was in its 'budding' stage, to understand.
Therefore, Ye Yan thoughtfully gave the other person a few extra cups of milk tea.
This milk tea is no ordinary milk tea; it is a culmination of His supreme wisdom ( the Book of Eternal Virtues )!
"But this does not prevent factors from learning, recognizing emotional responses, and communicating with life through imitation. This is an objective pattern recognition that transcends the distinction between 'you' and 'me.'"
"But by a twist of fate, PhiLia093 embarked on a different Path and mastered different powers..."
"[ Remembrance ]: An empathic mechanism centered on the self and capable of emotional projection."
"And [pity] is the factor closest to this behavior. Or perhaps, that's why she was chosen."
Buzz buzz... A non-existent recorded conversation has been added!
"[ Eternity ]: Centered on all beings, the individual [ Remembrance ] of endless echoes, refined and transmitted through [compassion], become their indelible warp and weft."
"PhiLia093... this is the destiny she bears..."
"Search. [ Eternity ]."
The Intellitron's voice never came again, and there was no record of anything related to [ Eternity ].
"No? [ Eternity ]?"
At the same time, the perspective shifts to the other side.
Xing's situation is a bit tricky. He was just thinking of taking a picture to remember the moment, but the next second the surrounding stone statues came back to life and launched an indiscriminate attack on them.
"Sigh~ Why do we always have to fight as soon as we land? But this enemy is quite novel!"
March 7th retreated continuously, using the Six-Phased Ice to freeze the movements of several Heavenly Punishment Hunter.
"There's a dead end and a cliff behind us, be careful," Dan Heng warned.
Xing was playing with great enthusiasm. With a flick of her wrist, the mimicry baseball bat, also crafted by the leaf-shaped tube and withered and flourishing hands, emitted a dark golden glow.
"All the Trailblaze work begins with the first swing of the baton!"
Before she finished speaking, she had already shot out like an arrow, her baseball bat whistling through the air as she slammed it into a stone shield held up by a hunter, sending stone chips flying everywhere.
After easily dispatching a group of Heavenly Punishment Hunter and Vanguards, wave after wave of enemies followed, making it difficult for the three to cope for a while.
These stone statues seem to be able to regenerate infinitely; they reassemble themselves shortly after being broken, making them extremely troublesome.
The enemy kept resurfacing from the cracks in the rock walls, and cold stone spears pierced from all directions, launching a relentless attack.
"They keep crawling out endlessly, how am I supposed to get away..." Dan Heng's eyes flashed like lightning, his brows furrowed as he parried and dodged.
They had been forced to the edge of a cliff, with an unfathomable void behind them.
Dan Heng subconsciously glanced at the soap clutched tightly in his hand—how could he possibly use something that held a portion of the [ Emanator's ] power now, something he had just arrived with?
He and Xing might be able to escape the fall thanks to their special abilities, but it's hard to say about March 7th...
"Is this the only way...?" Dan Heng's eyes sharpened as he made a decision. " March 7th, hurry up!"
"Huh?!" March 7th hadn't fully grasped his intentions yet.
At this critical moment—
A streak of blue-green light descended from the sky, effortlessly annihilating the Heavenly Punishment Vanguard with its giant sword.
Just as Xing breathed a sigh of relief, she suddenly noticed that the white-haired young man had his eyes fixed on her.
"What...?!"
Xing felt an irresistible force come over him, and his hand, which was tightly gripping the baseball bat, suddenly went limp.
The dark gold baseball bat had flown out of her hand and landed steadily in the hand of the white-haired youth who had appeared beside her at some unknown time.
"Careful!"
Dan Heng started with zero frames, throwing out the Cloud-Piercer Spear was wrapped in [ Eternity ] energy.
"You're carrying... something very interesting."
The white-haired youth appeared unusually composed. He turned around smoothly, flicked his wrist slightly, and used the same mimicry baseball bat, imprinted with the power of [ Eternity ], to precisely and lightly meet the Cloud-Piercer Spear.
clang!!!
Two [ Eternity ] forces clashed, and at the point of impact, space itself seemed to distort, and then—
The ground shook violently as if struck by an invisible giant hammer, and spiderweb-like cracks spread out instantly, sending rubble flying into the air.
The large number of divine punishment stone statues surrounding Xing, Dan Heng, and March 7th were instantly pulverized into dust the moment their stone bodies came into contact with the shockwave, as if they had been thrown into a crusher.
The smile on the white-haired youth's face vanished instantly, replaced by an undisguised look of astonishment.
His right hand, gripping the bat, was visibly numb from the impact. He muttered incredulously, "Such power..."
Xing and Dan Heng managed to steady themselves, but March 7th wasn't so lucky. Being closer to the point of impact, she used the Six-Phased Ice to protect herself just before falling.
Fortunately, she practiced diligently on the train, so she was fine and didn't feel any pain!
"But what's going on here?!"
The white-haired youth shook his still slightly numb right hand. "Don't misunderstand, this is for everyone's safety."
"Everyone's safety?" Dan Heng raised his hand to recall the Cloud-Piercer Spear, staring intently at him.
"In a place like the Abyss of Fate, carrying a weapon is a form of [provocation]. These soldiers are minions of the [ Strife ] Titan, and they always ruthlessly exterminate any enemy they encounter."
"If you continue to wield your swords, not only will you become prey yourselves... but you will also draw your Kremnos to the unarmed and innocent people of this land."
"You could have simply spoken to me, instead of resorting to such an extreme method."
"The sudden appearance of these three individuals raises questions about their allegiance; whether they are friend or foe remains to be seen."
The white-haired youth responded calmly, his gaze sweeping over the three, lingering especially on Dan Heng's gun and Xing for a moment.
"Besides, even if you're unarmed, you still possess considerable strength..." He smiled wryly and weighed the heavy baseball bat in his hand once more.
Now he truly understood; the hardness of the baseball bat and the gun barrel was beyond his imagination. This defense was probably even higher than that of the [ Strife ] Titan.
"Who knows, I might be the one in danger? I can't afford to be careless."
"You're talking so casually, how could you be in any danger?" March 7th pouted. "Give Xing's weapon back first."
"Of course. But before that... could you please state your purpose, guests who have fallen from the sky?"
