Amphoreus, [ Eternity ] Audience Seats

"This is terrifying! Such exaggerated manual dexterity—it's nothing like the original ' Beyond the Myths ' testing ground!"

The Lil' Twist Bubble Gum burst instantly, and the Silver Wolf stared wide-eyed ahead in disbelief.

In Silver Wolf's opinion, the only flaw in this " Eternity " audience seating area was the familiar milk tea shop not far away.

"Just how much do you love milk tea...?" Her lips twitched.

"Even the container for drawing power is milk tea... I'm speechless."

Silver Wolf chewed on the Lil' Twist Bubble Gum again. She could naturally see a little bit of the trick. The cup of milk tea that Xing threw away before leaving contained no less " Eternity " than the hourglass necklace in front of her.

That's right, that cup of milk tea was a noble " Eternity " wonder! As for its function, well, it was thrown right in front of those two, and coincidentally, both of them were "immortal"—what else could it be?

Either the milk tea can suppress the "immortality" power, or it can absorb the "immortality" power; it can't just be a mascot...

Meanwhile, Xing and Phainon were rushing to the Cloud Stone Heavenly Palace.

"It's alright... Mydeimos is the most formidable warrior I've ever seen."

"What's with this 'immortality'? He also has ' Eternity '... cough cough, Nikador's blessing?"

"That's right, 'immortality' is a blessing Mydei was born with, but it's also a curse. It's the mark of his being Chrysos Heirs."

Without further conversation, the two quickly arrived at the Cloud Stone Heavenly Palace.

Dan Heng and March 7th finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Xing return safely.

"Are you alright? Are you hurt? I received an urgent report from Phainon; the situation seems very serious."

" Aglaea —wait, where's Teacher Tribbie?"

"We received your message, and she has already made the necessary preparations."

"The citizens of the city are still indulging in pleasure as usual... You don't consider this a crisis?" Phainon asked.

"If every crisis were dealt with in the same way, Okhema would never have a moment's peace. The duty of the Chrysos Heirs is to silently eliminate threats, freeing them from the shadow of fear."

"On this point, we've always disagreed... but now is not the time to argue."

Phainon returned to the main point. " The Edge of Divine Retribution is already aimed at the heart of Kephale. If we don't find a way to stop the mad Titan, the entire holy city could be reduced to ashes."

"But Nikador has forged an indestructible shell for himself, making him impossible to kill completely. The Mydei is stalling for time... We must cherish every second he gains."

Aglaea smiled with relief. "You're forcing yourself to calm down; it's part of growing up, Phainon."

"But Castrum Kremnos has been shrouded in mist for so long that we have no way of knowing the secret of Nikador's immortal body."

"How about milk tea?" March 7th asked, as milk tea is the perfect choice at times like these.

"I've used it, but there's been no response yet."

Xing truthfully stated that her projection was extremely precise, almost landing between Mydei and Nikador. It's possible that she was too far from the milk tea, preventing the side effects from activating.

Moreover, using the power of " Eternity " to deal with Titan who possesses the authority of " Eternity " is, upon closer examination, a completely ineffective tactic except for the Aeon himself.

From another perspective, both Titan and Milk Tea are alternative " Eternity " creations, and no master can break their techniques.

Therefore, Xing categorized this as an " Eternity " paradox, a very brain-teasing problem, and commented that it would be better to leave it to the " Genius Society " to solve.

"It seems... only one Titan can help us find the truth."

You mean...?

" Phainon, I will accompany you to pay homage to Oronyx. I hope it can become a place where we can relive the past and reveal the truth about Nikador's deception of death..." said Castorice.

" Castorice, don't you have any clue either?"

Phainon's tone was somewhat helpless. His companions were fighting to the death with Nikador in Castrum Kremnos. Even if both sides were physically indestructible, they would get tired if they kept fighting.

" Strife and death were once inseparable. At its peak, Nikador valued honor and would never betray its allies."

"But since it went mad, the oath has ceased to exist. Now it seems... in its pursuit of an Permanence body, Nikador has betrayed 'death.'"

"There's another thing. The stone tablet at Kremnos Keep mentions 'infiltration'..."

Phainon recounted all the details on the stone tablet, and Aglaea responded:

" Tribbie and I will do everything in our power to protect the citizens of the Holy City, so please don't worry."

"Find Oronyx and uncover the Mad King's secrets by every means you can think of. Tribbie is waiting outside the city; go with her to the Abyss of Fate. I will plead with Kephale for your success."

Vortex of Genesis, " Eternity " Milk Tea Shop

The " Trailblaze " team decided to linger for a moment and consult a reliable High Priest.

"The Titan Oronis of Time... Hmm, I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before..." Frisna tried hard to recall the name.

"Priestess, if you have any relevant information, please share it! There are no outsiders here."

March 7th stepped forward, rubbing his hands excitedly. It would be wonderful if this " Eternity " Emanator could personally participate.

"It's the Saintess." Fulisina instantly switched to a fighting expression and corrected him with a serious look.

"No need for further words. Years may not be good with words... but with you all, that's enough." Fulisina's gaze lingered on March 7th for a few more seconds.

"Sigh~ the classic Riddlers- Emanator segment, I'm already used to it."

On March 7th, having abandoned all remaining illusions, was there not a single " Emanator " who wasn't Riddlers?

The only one who might not tell a riddle is the " Elation " Emanator, but the Astral Express Crew has never encountered one before.

Oronyx was never a Titan who enjoyed communicating with people, and even the veteran Tribbie of the Chrysos Heirs was powerless to help in this matter.

Before departing, Phainon said, "If that Titan is unwilling to cooperate with us... force is the last resort."

" Oronyx... it's not a malevolent Titan by nature. Hopefully, we won't have to come to that."

Under the guidance of Teacher Tribbie's " World-Splitting Gate," Phainon and Castorice have already set off ahead for the " Abyss of Fate," Janusapolis.

Furthermore, although the Sanctum of Prophecy has been abandoned for a long time, the magical realm woven by the priests still remains around it.

According to Teacher Tribbie, it would be very risky for Janus to approach rashly with his power, so she could only send him outside the city.

Since the power of " Passage " is limited, what about " Eternity "? This is another reason why the three came to find Fulisina; they need the assistance of " Eternity " to negotiate with Oronyx more quickly.

"Priestess, quickly use ' Gate of Myriad Paths '!"
