Amphoreus, the " Strife Ruins " -Castrum Kremnos
After mentally preparing herself, Xing stood at the front as the representative, and a heavy sense of pressure immediately followed.
Mydei stepped forward and looked at Phainon, who had a troubled expression. "Don't forget, we're standing here because of your insistence. Then show some damn resolve."
"My mission, my meaning... everything is staked on this. Have you forgotten? The suffering of my people... the erosion of our homeland..."
"Of course I haven't forgotten. But I've mastered a technique that you might not understand."
"All the regret and anger—in moments like these, I 'Guild to control them, to forge them into an incomparably sharp weapon, to use them for my own purposes..."
It has a simple name: Killing Intent.
Hearing this, Phainon felt much more relaxed. "Heh... you really are a beast."
"But now, perhaps we should all succumb to the primal instincts within us."
"Huh?"
Xing was completely bewildered; she hadn't felt anything at all!
"Rotten god! Confront me, and prepare for your doom!"
Mydei stared directly at the colossal " Strife " Titan before him and continued, "I am the Son of the Kremnos, the Chrysos Heirs of the Prophecy. I bring you the fairest price—"
"I'll trade my thousand scars and a hundred lives for your glorious death in an epic tale!"
Nikador also summoned his weapon, as if responding to Mydei, and the battle was about to begin!
" Mydei, I can't be like you... but I will fight in my own way, hunting down gods!"
The three then launched a righteous attack on Nikador. Faced with the relentless assault, Nikador could only defend himself passively, constantly performing sit-ups in front of them.
No wonder Nikador became Titan; his perseverance and patience are truly remarkable. He died and came back to life, and died again. Anyone else would have been unable to endure that.
"Immortal and indestructible, and the key is that it feels incredibly hard to hit with a baseball bat; the combat experience needs optimization..."
Xing shook her arm, which was almost numb from the shock. Galactic Baseballer couldn't leave her signature weapon, so she had to switch from close combat to ranged attacks.
Amidst the ruins, Nikador's body erupted with dazzling golden light, and it stood before the three once more, restored to its former glory.
"An immortal bastard... interesting."
Mydei's lips curled into a smile; he wasn't the only one Death Denial.
At this moment, Xing noticed that pale golden light was emanating from around Nikador, constantly converging towards the " Edge of Divine Retribution " hanging high above the city.
"War spirits are gathering in the skies above Castrum Kremnos... surging towards ' Edge of Divine Retribution '!"
Phainon and the other two belatedly realized that Nikador had actually played a dirty trick on them... Actually, it wasn't exactly a dirty trick; this is where the advantage of being mute came in—none of the three of them could read minds.
"So this guy isn't just the kind of Titan that's all about 'fun in battle' after all..."
"It had no intention of determining a winner; it was merely using death after death to temper the blade in its hand... Even if it had to endure a hundred deaths, it would pierce through Kephale's body!"
"Hiss... Just hearing that sends chills down my spine. How much hatred must they have harbored..."
Xing sighed, "Don't hate Nikador too much about Strife '."
"Completely devoid of honor... My god, how could you have stooped to such a low level?"
Mydei didn't know what to say, so he turned to Phainon and said, " Savior, I'm giving you a chance to be a hero."
"Leave this battlefield to me. I will hold back this body, preventing it from wielding ' Edge of Divine Retribution '. Take the message back... inform those two demigods."
"Are you crazy? Fighting Titan all by yourself? Then I'll stay here too. Star, please—"
Before he could finish speaking, Mydei interrupted him, "Get out of here. Do I have to say it like this?"
"I must stay, not for Okhema's safety, but to settle things with my god."
"Even if immortality is a curse, it shouldn't be used in such a despicable way."
"A curse? I doubt it..."
Xing muttered to herself, already having a plan in mind.
"Go, your battlefield lies elsewhere," Savior.
For a moment, Phainon couldn't think of any words of comfort, "... Hang in there, don't die too many times."
After confirming that Phainon and Xing had left, Mydei turned his attention back to Nikador:
"Finally, it's not so noisy anymore."
"You and I—two warriors shut out by death, is there a fairer competition in the world?" Mydei asked himself.
"Come! King who failed to become king, god who has lost his divine status! How well we match, right here—"
Mydei gave a wicked smile, "Let's fight until everything is destroyed!"
The broken walls and remnants of the city kept Mydei and Nikador locked in a deadly battle within the Castrum Kremnos, while Xing and Phainon retreated to safety under cover.
"I love it when brothers stage this kind of 'life-or-death' drama."
Xing rubbed his hands together, and before Nikador could recover, he started searching for the milk tea that corresponded to " Strife ".
"Where is it... purple? No, that color doesn't match."
Xing picked up the milk tea with the " Spear of Divine Retribution " pattern printed on it and threw it towards the battlefield where Nikador and Mydei were not far away.
The child has always been strong, and his aim is incredibly accurate—this scene makes perfect sense, doesn't it?
boom!
A mushroom cloud shot straight into the sky, engulfing the still-gathering " Edge of Divine Retribution."
"Sigh~ See? This is what happens when you don't have super armor to resist interruptions."
A familiar virtual projection suddenly appeared behind Xing, its voice preceding its appearance, followed by a Lil' Twist Bubble Gum.
"Strange, didn't her companions come along?"
Silver Wolf looked around and finally fixed his gaze on the remaining twelve cups of milk tea.
She suddenly realized why the protagonist always ends up alone!
"Why?"
Ye Yan's projection appeared at just the right moment. Don't ask him why he was here; he was just bored.
Currently, the cultivation of the second " Eternity " Emanator has entered its second phase. Some people are asking why we are not continuing to advance?
It's very simple, Phainon... or rather, Amphoreus needs a "trigger".
The catalyst for Cyrene and Demiurge was "love," so let's guess what the catalyst for Phainon's story is?
"Because of ' Eternity '."
Ye Yan:...
"A very novel answer," Ye Yan said with a stiff face.
"By the way, why didn't you go with them?" Silver Wolf asked.
Ye Yan copied Silver Wolf's answer verbatim, "Because of ' Eternity '."
"Oh, I see. You weren't locked out by the Intellitron administrator, were you?"
"Putting everything else aside, I really want to see the showdown between the ' Eternity ' Emanator and the ' First Genius '! That's the most stern father of the Nous!"
Silver Wolf couldn't hide his excitement. At present, Amphoreus was almost out of the " Script," and every plot that would happen next was "unknown"!
