" Saintess Holiness, I have a feeling that I've been drawn into a political game," Phainon said.
"Every hero was once a child, and every hero grows up."
"Really? But I'm not even sure why I'm standing here."
Phainon's eyes revealed a hint of confusion. "I am just a soldier. If it weren't for the necessity of determining the winner through swordsmanship, Lady Goldweaver could have fought herself. As for the will to defend the Holy City to the death, how could I possibly compare to her?"
What if 'we' said that the significance of this duel lies not in winning or losing, but in your choice?
"Do you mean this is Lady Goldweaver testing me?"
"Every member of the Chrysos Heirs is indispensable to the Journey of Flame-Chase. Whether it's you or that prince of the Kremnos, you both appear in the vision depicted by the Prophecy."
"This battle is not over, but just beginning. So listen to your heart; 'we' are waiting for your answer."
Phainon's tightly furrowed brows immediately relaxed considerably. "That's right, the voice within me has always been my guide. No matter the outcome, I will give it my all."
"This is the attitude Chrysos Heirs should have. Go, Phainon, your journey has only just begun."
Phainon looked up at the distant temple again and sighed:
"This is the temple of the Titan ' Years '... I wonder if Cyrene's studies are going well... We've rarely been in touch since we embarked on our journey..."
"I hope she's doing well. Well, the chance to witness the Scales of Justice in Talanton is a rare one."
Watching Phainon and Trinnon enter the " Sanctum of Prophecy," Ye Yan glanced at Silver Wolf, who was engrossed in playing a game.
"Sigh~ The charm of games remains unchanged; people who only drink milk tea will never understand," Silver Wolf said while playing.
"Want some?" Ye Yan shook the milk tea.
"I'll have a drink."
As soon as they entered the Sanctum of Prophecy, the group encountered some trouble.
With impassable sides and no exit in sight, how could they possibly continue?
On March 7th, instead of engaging in internal strife, I picked up my camera and started snapping away.
She has already tacitly acknowledged that the Chrysos Heirs Phainon are " Eternity " travelers. Once Amphoreus makes its mark in the heavens, the Chrysos Heirs's popularity will skyrocket, and these photos will definitely have great commercial value!
Even if it has no commercial value, it is still very meaningful as a keepsake.
Seeing that there was no progress, Phainon simply began to admire the enormous scales in front of him.
" The Scales of Justice —this is the first time I've witnessed its entirety."
"Is this also a symbol of some Titan?"
" Talanton, the second of the Three Titans of Fate. Legend has it that it created the ' Law ' that govern the world."
"Its Core Flame has been restored, but the Chrysos Heirs succeeded to the divine office... is now nowhere to be found."
Phainon crossed his arms. "At least, the laws that keep the world running remain stable. Wherever that demigod is, he has fulfilled his mission."
Click!
With a click of the shutter on March 7th, several runes appeared before the Scales of Justice:
Castorice stepped forward and translated for everyone:
"The scales represent the entrance... the scales represent the test."
"Libra... is it trying to get us to balance the score?"
"That should be correct."
Castorice continued reading, "The counterweight now placed on the left tray... represents the fate of Amphoreus."
"Find... a heavier weight... and place it on the tray on the right..."
Hint: Find something heavier than the fate of the world.
"There's another hint? Is Oronyx playing a trick on us?"
Phainon frowned slightly, looking at the prompt above. He felt like he had heard something similar somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where.
Dan Heng then walked to the other side of the " Scale of Justice," easily leaped onto the tray, and tested the weight of the weights.
Um...
"At least, Oronyx didn't lie." He retraced his steps.
"Teacher Dan Heng, have you considered building muscle?"
"Something heavier than the fate of the world? This question is truly perplexing. The hints are also Mimi."
Xing stared at the empty tray in front of her, then looked at the weights in the distance that were comparable to the weight of the "world." How could she make the tray on their side sink?
As we all know, Teacher Dan Heng's Cloud-Piercer Spear always starts with zero frames. After Ye Yan modified the Cloud-Piercer Spear, she and March 7th also specifically tested the weight of the improved version, which is almost as heavy as the Flame Spear with the " Preservation " will.
"Is Oronyx pretending to be aloof by not saying anything?"
"Possibly," March 7th chimed in from the side.
"Find something more profound in its literal sense than 'the fate of Amphoreus '? That sounds like an unsolvable problem."
"For the Amphoreus, is there really anything more important than this land? They don't even have the option of fleeing to the heavens."
Something far heavier than the fate of the world...
"So what should we put up there?" March 7th asked the most crucial question.
As soon as she finished speaking, Xing leaped onto the Libra's tray.
The " Scales of Justice " remained perfectly still, showing no sign of tilting towards the star.
"... Have you considered gaining weight?" came the retort from teacher Dan Heng.
"Pfft~" Castorice and March 7th couldn't help but burst out laughing at the same time.
"Hey buddy, come down... it seems this isn't going to work."
"Don't worry, it must be that the fate I bear is too heavy for the ' Law ' to judge."
"The Flame Gun is just one of many dance tracks in Galactic Baseballer; the real signature weapon is the baseball bat!"
Xing placed the black and gold mimicry baseball bat on the tray. This weapon, bearing the weight of " Eternity," was a tiny " Years " Titan. How could it possibly withstand such a power?
"For the Amphoreus, the fate of the world is a far too heavy a burden," Dan Heng began to explain from the side.
"But perhaps even the Titan couldn't have imagined... that we, as three outsiders, haven't truly embraced the life-and-death struggles of this world."
"Just as Xing said, her ' Path ' is far too complicated..."
"Teacher Dan Heng, please say something that the locals in Amphoreus can understand," March 7th whispered a reminder.
"To put it simply, consider her a demigod among several Titan, whose body can contain multiple 'Core Flame.' And each of these ' Core Flame ' possesses a will powerful enough to transcend the 'world.'"
"Oh dear~ she was disqualified because she was too strong."
Phainon and Castorice's gazes towards Xing changed; the ability to hold multiple Core Flame... it was simply unimaginable.
"Haha~ That's an exaggeration. I'm just a Five Pathstrider."
As expected, the moment " Scales of Justice " sensed the mimicry bat, even before Xing could react, they completely tipped in her favor.
"Yay! Galactic Baseballer wins big!"
