"As for these three warriors from afar... choose one to accompany you, Phainon. It is not the proper course of action for a host to send all three distinguished guests to the front lines."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Xing.
"Xing is skilled in using a variety of weapons; that baseball bat has thwarted the enemy's attacks more than once. Mydei and I, on the other hand, are more adept at offense. If we consider only a combat perspective..."
"Xing, what do you think?"
Xing rubbed his chin. "It doesn't feel as good as March 7th bringing an electric blade, Dan Heng building tank items."
"What are you talking about..." March 7th pouted; this was no time for jokes.
Phainon nodded in satisfaction at Xing's reaction. "As long as you have no objections... Aglaea, let the three of us take on the mission of hunting Titan."
Aglaea looked at Mydei beside her. "... Castrum Kremnos is your homeland, Mydeimos. Your people were once the subjects of Nikador —but you chose to submit to Okhema and dedicate yourself to the Prophecy."
"Would you swear an oath to the divine body of Kephale, regarding the mission of the Chrysos Heirs as your highest duty?"
"Since Nikador succumbed to madness, it is no longer the god of my people. I will use the wrath of man to strip the god of his authority," Mydei replied.
"As for the Core Flame, and the soon-to-be-vacant divine position..." He turned to look at Phainon, "If that's what you crave, then take it. I have no interest in replacing a god."
"Ha... how generous, but I don't like accepting handouts. I will be the one to deliver the final blow to Nikador's heart."
"Thus, the expeditionary force to Castrum Kremnos is now complete. There 'Phainon from the Aedes Elysiae, Mydei from Castrum Kremnos, and... Xing from a foreign land."
Xing crossed his arms in front of him and 'corrected', "It's Galactic Baseballer."
"Oh dear... why are you suddenly imitating the priestess?"
"I— Aglaea of Okhema, of the Chrysos Heirs, a demigod bearing the divine authority of Moneta —bless the path you are about to embark on."
" Trianne will open the gates to Castrum Kremnos for you. May the golden threads guide your journey, and may they lead you home."
"Hmm? Trianne, when did you arrive?"
Xing was taken aback for a moment, then turned her gaze to Trianne, who was waving to the group not far away.
"Let's go, let's go~ Wind... Whirlwind... Castrum Kremnos!" Trianne hummed a little tune, "Aww! Little Bai, Little Di... Come on, let's fly there together!"
"We don't have wings on our backs, Teacher Trianne. Could you please open a door for us?"
"Oh... door, how boring. Alright then, open the door! World-Splitting Gate!" Alas—"
"So it's a portal in the void?" Xing asked Curiosity.
"Hahaha~ You think it's a real city gate? Don't let Teacher Trianne's playful nature fool you, she's the most skilled Gatekeeper in Amphoreus, and the ' World-Splitting Gate ' she creates is flawless."
Xing deeply agrees... " The Gate of Myriad Paths," isn't it amazing? But there's really no other way to travel.
Instead of worrying about the "gate" issue, let's think about how the three of us can fight against a massive army.
"This isn't like you at all! The 'ten thousand' in 'Mydei ' isn't the same as the 'one against ten thousand' in 'one against ten thousand'?"
"Alright! The door... the door... soon, very soon, the ' World-Splitting Gate ' will open!"
" Little Bai, Little Di, and... the newcomer Little Grey, are you ready to set off?" Trianne asked energetically.
"Let's set off to slay the gods!"
"Go, with the two Chrysos Heirs. Okhema needs a true war god. The mad Nikador, his reign must end," Aglaea said.
" March 7th and I plan to spend more time here, learning about Amphoreus from Tribbie. You'll be in charge of the operations, and we'll handle the research; each of us will have our own role."
"Huh?"
March 7th paused slightly, but she still preferred to take care of the milk tea shop at Cloud Stone Market.
"How about a farewell hug?"
Dan Heng refused Xing's suggestion with silence, but on March 7th, he gave Xing a big hug.
"Ahem~ Stand firm, listen carefully!" Trianne cleared her throat, "We, Tribbie, Trianne, Trinnon of Janusapolis, messengers of the Chrysos Heirs, demigods bearing the divine authority of Janus —bless you!"
May fate show you a benevolent face, and block every path that leads to death...
"--Open every door to the gate of victory!"
Trianne took a step forward and looked closely. The area around the World-Splitting Gate passage still had a hint of amber color, and she could faintly smell the sweet aroma of milk tea.
"Um... it feels so strongly like something I'd see before."
March 7th felt a little embarrassed. And this milk tea flavor... she'd believe you if you told her it was a mini version of Ye Yan's " Gate of Myriad Paths ".
Are these Chrysos Heirs all " Eternity " Travelers?
On March 7th, he didn't immediately consider the possibility of the " Eternity " Emanator. If that were the case, it would be too far-fetched for one Amphoreus Emanator be able to gather twelve envoys.
The Eternity, Aedes Elysiae, the Lost in the Maze Tree Hole
Ye Yan distributed the milk tea to the little fairies, and even prepared a low-sugar version especially for the village chief Dodora Mi. He wondered how Demiurge's preparations were going; hopefully, he would find some inspiration after hearing that milk tea story.
"Why do branches and leaves grow? In which direction does the wind blow...?"
"The deepest part of the Lost in the Maze where the answers to the future are revealed."
"Hehe~ Children, it's been so long." Dodora Mi looked at Cyrene and Phainon with affection; they've grown so much...
"Aren't there any pink fairies?"
Cyrene looked left and right, feeling that this place was somewhat different from what she Remembrance.
"Pink... In my memory, there have never been pink fairies in the Lost in the Maze. I wonder Dodora Mi have ever seen one?"
"But... Village Chief, it's so great that you still have so much energy."
"Hehe~ Don't worry. Remember? I said that as long as there are people in the world who can sing lullabies, the children of the lost will always exist—just as our fates are intertwined."
Knowing the purpose of the three people's visit, the Dodora Mi took out an Oracle Card book shaped like " As I Have Written ".
"Take it away, child. I'm sorry I had to summon you here in this way."
"I feel relieved that you're keeping it safe for me. If you'd like me to do a divination, I'm happy to oblige anytime," Cyrene said with a smile.
"However, after so many years, and in such a peculiar way guiding us here... has something happened, Village Chief?"
"... That's right. Actually, we've recently heard the whispers of the Veil of Eternal Night again. It says that the labyrinth will soon welcome new fairies..."
"What..."
"That's right. Every time a new fairy arrives at the Lost Path, it signifies that the vast world beyond the veil, far removed from the Aedes Elysiae, is about to undergo a cataclysmic calamity."
