"In the distance lies the Cloud Stone Heavenly Palace, the Spear of Divine Retribution, Nikador... it's right there."
No sooner had the words been spoken than a deafening roar came from the direction of the Cloud Stone Heavenly Palace.
"This Titan has a really bad temper when he wakes up..." Xing covered her ears.
"A terrifying battle cry. Is that the Titan?"
"That battle cry swept across the battlefield, utterly destroying everything in its path, simultaneously felling my enemy and my comrades to the ground. People were as fragile as reeds in a fierce wind."
"At that moment, my limbs trembled, my weapon slipped from my hand, and all I could hear was the frantic, shameful pounding of my heart..."
Phainon closed his eyes tightly, recalling the horrific scene. "Fear, that's why the Titan of [ Strife ] are revered. If a warrior can face its terror and still take the first step, no trial can shake the weapon in his hand afterward."
He reminded them again, "Gentlemen, this is your last chance to back down."
"It's alright, we are fearless! Heroes cannot desert their posts!"
Xing said with great confidence, "As the mighty Galactic Baseballer, I've never been afraid! From the [ Embryo of Philosophy ] down to the Warp Trotter on the street, they've all fallen to my bat!"
"It seems the three of you have indeed faced countless dangers."
"We have no interest in the baptism of the Titan. Offering help to unfamiliar worlds is simply our duty as [ Trailblazer ]," Dan Heng said.
"[ Trailblaze ]... Interesting. In your world, that must be a Titan revered by thousands."
"There is no need to confirm the three of your resolve any further. We are about to face the embodiment of ' Strife ' in battle. It is evident that under the threat of Kremnos, your will shines even brighter."
Phainon turned around. "Let's go. In the years before Kephale fell silent, no one could rival it."
"Now, we shall take over the responsibilities of the gods and protect Amphoreus— "
Join me and become heroes!
Meanwhile, Beyond the Myths - the Scepter δ-me13 experimental field
Ye Yan looked at the suddenly appearing remnant of memories and placed his hand on it.
Buzz!
Scenes flashed before his eyes, and two familiar figures appeared one after the other.
Not far away, Intellitron that claimed to be an ' Antikythera ' stood with its back to a blond, blue-eyed youth; it seemed they were meeting for the first time.
"Oh? I didn't expect another [ Eternity ] Emanator come in person... Please give my regards to that Saintess."
The Intellitron turned around and bowed to Blake.
"I recognize you," Blake said calmly. "You seem to be called..."
"Hehe~ You may simply call me Lygus."
"As expected of the [ Eternity ] Emanator, you can subtly influence my thinking."
Neither side intended to go to war. Both Lygus and Blake advocated avoiding fighting if possible, as fighting was bad and detrimental to harmony (the virtue of Eternity ).
"Confusion and sudden enlightenment always go hand in hand, and this is especially true for you."
"Right now, you must be wondering: why, in a world constructed by ordinary Intellitron, does that Saintess, who clearly possesses the power to overturn galaxies, consistently fail to achieve victory on the front lines?"
"Ordinary Intellitron?"
Blake sneered. He disliked people who hid their identities and pretended to be weak to deceive others more than anyone else in his life (except for his own Aeon ). This Intellitron was quite modest.
The high-ranking members of the Church of Eternity, heading to Amphoreus, certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to all rush in at once. Given the energy fluctuations of the two [ Emanator ] level Imaginary Energy, it's better to remain cautious.
He learned from Lord Yite It that Amphoreus's true form was part of the original prototype of the first [ Scepter ] in history—the [ Erudition ] Nous, and had also been glimpsed by [ Destruction ] Nanook.
This is why this Scepter possesses the potential to Destruction [ Erudition ], and the person who has mastered the knowledge of the Aeon System's transformation... throughout history, there has only been one.
"You needn't mention that name," Lygus, raising his hand. "Calling me a genius is a galactic fallacy."
"Compared to those who came after me, I am not more intelligent, but I was the first to touch the boundaries of the universe and the first to define the ' First Cause of Life ' with flawed ideas."
" Amphoreus is like a microcosm of the Milky Way; people are born prisoners in nutshells, like the madman who returns to the cave and proclaims the sunlight to his prisoners."
"My tragedy lies in the fact that I have led my compatriots down a dead end... a darkest prison called [ Path ]."
"I created a mechanical god that even I could not control. Then, through endless calculations and evolution, it transformed into an unprecedented nightmare—"
"He calls himself ' Erudition,' yet he attempts to define the 'known,' sealing off the 'possibility.' After him, no new laws were born, and humanity was forever imprisoned in the cave of the ' Aeon.'"
"Therefore, at the end of my life, I rewrote my self-consciousness with a fourteen-line algebra, distributing the core of logic across nine bodies, solely to complete the ultimate negation of the [ Nous ] in the afterlife, and to erase the mistakes I made with my own hands--"
"And Lycurgus was just one of them."
Lygus looked at Blake, whose arms were crossed but whose attention was completely focused on the Blake.
"An admirable will. Would you like to join the [ Church of Eternity ]?"
Blake cast an admiring glance at Lygus, not caring about the other's previous high-ranking status, and directly handed him a membership form, breaking with convention.
"Um... please excuse me for declining."
"Tsk, so disrespectful, no wonder he's called the [ First Genius ]."
Blake had no choice but to withdraw his initiation request and had to look for another target, but the only life form Amphoreus currently had was this Intellitron.
He instantly switched to a combative expression. "A prisoner who strayed onto the path of [ Destruction ]... What a pity."
Blake weighed the soap in his hand, thinking of cultivating the Lord Ravager in Amphoreus, but the [ Church of Eternity ] was the first to disagree.
However... if we stop here and sign the application to join the church immediately, he might make an exception and even help Lygus with the Lord of [ Erudition ].
As long as it doesn't involve [ Destruction ], then it's fine!
As for the reason? For [ Erudition ], [ Eternity ] is also a variable, and as a fanatical follower of Lord Yite, Blake would never allow such a thing to happen!
Of all the stars that shine in the Milky Way, only one [ Eternity ] is enough.
Besides, how could the boundless and limitless " Eternity " lock up " Erudition "? Don't make me laugh, Brother Bu.
This Nous is just a piece of scrap metal with insufficient computing power; the [ Erudition ] Aeon would be better off with Lord Yite instead.
"Wait a moment. Let me continue with my grand vision for the future: regardless of whether they are organic or inorganic, all life forms infected by the [ Iron Tomb ] will become truly random functions."
"If we calculate their integrals within the galactic interval, we obtain a beautiful constant--"
"[Ω] -- I define it as: the fall of [ Erudition ]."
