Just as Mimi was trying to exert her strength, everyone heard a knock on the door.
The bathroom door was pushed open, and Phainon, panting, rushed over with Castorice and Tribbie.
"Hey buddy, how are you? Are you feeling alright?"
Xing clenched her fists. She had never felt so wonderful since being swallowed by the Black Tide. After just watching a few "non-existent Remembrance ", the energy in her body increased significantly.
Speaking of " Remembrance," Xing vaguely sensed Fuli's glance inside the Memory Train.
But unlike the previous times, " Remembrance's" gaze did not linger on her for very long, perhaps because Ye Yan was present.
Moreover, Xing felt that this glimpse was particularly 'shallow', merely unlocking the ' Remembrance ' Path, without any new power whatsoever.
Sigh~ " Remembrance " Fuli, give it your all! We can't just let him be a figurehead Pathstrider; that would be too embarrassing...
"Seeing that you are safe and sound, I am relieved," Castorice said.
"We already know about the situation in ' Oronyx '," said the Saintess in the " Vortex of Genesis," adding that there was no need to worry, she would handle it.
" Saintess priestess? Curiosity title, no wonder she's Teacher Tribbie!"
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Phainon got down to business:
"Time is of the essence and the mission is heavy. We received a message from Mydei that the situation is not as simple as we thought."
He looked at Xing: "Partner, the milk tea you threw away did effectively stop the fight between Mydei and Nikador. But it also weakened them indirectly."
"The milk tea is constantly absorbing their 'immortal power,' while the ' Edge of Divine Retribution ' continues to build up its power. If this continues, the consequences are predictable."
Phainon then turned his gaze to Mimi:
"According to Dan Heng, this creature is related to gods from beyond the heavens. Perhaps it can solve our problem."
"That deity... in some way... given Xing this pet--"
"Pet? Mimi is not a pet!" Mimi put her hands on her hips, clearly unhappy with Phainon's way of addressing her.
"Yes, it's definitely not a pet, it's emergency food."
"Emergency food?! This is so unfair to fans!"
Mimi was so angry that she stomped her feet on the spot, but when she saw Xing handing her milk tea, she instantly changed her expression.
"Teacher Tribbie, I'd like to split our forces into two groups: I'll set off immediately to Castrum Kremnos to support Mydei."
"And the task of finding Nikador's weakness... Star, could I ask you for a favor?" Phainon looked at Star, "This is my heartfelt request."
Xing warned, "Be careful, you're not 'immortal.'"
"Don't worry, my specialty is 'surviving near-death experiences.'"
"I and my Mydei will be waiting for you on the battlefield."
Dan Heng stepped forward. "Take me with you, Phainon. Rather than waiting in the rear, let me go to the front lines and share the burden with you."
"... Thank you, I have no reason to refuse."
"Then let's part ways here— Dan Heng and I will head to Castrum Kremnos immediately, while Xing will try to unravel the secret of the Barbarian God's immortal body. Miss Castorice..."
"Then... shall the three of us form a team?"
On March 7th, standing between the stars and the Castorice, he proposed...
This is amazing! It's the long-awaited beautiful girl group!
"Yes. I will stay by Xing and Miss March 7th's side and protect their safety."
"Please, Ms. Tribbie, could I trouble you one more time?"
"Of course, we'll leave the ' World-Splitting Gate ' to 'us'."
With her hands on her hips, Tribbie reopened the " World-Splitting Gate " and rushed to the aid of Castrum Kremnos with Dan Heng and Phainon.
"They left so quickly, that's efficient... Now it's just us left, where are we going to find our lost Remembrance?" March 7th pinned her hopes on Mimi, "Little one, it's your turn to step up your game!"
" Remembrance?" Mimi sniffed the air. "There is indeed a strong smell..."
"It's different." Mimi shook her head. "As long as we follow that 'scent,' we can recreate the past!"
"See? She really is a pink puppy!"
"I'm not a pet lover!"
If this happens a few more times, Mimi will probably give up explaining; she'll just be too tired.
Meanwhile, Janusapolis, the " Abyss of Fate "
"--The newcomer from the Aedes Elysiae, the nameless hero," Trinnon announced.
Phainon let out a long sigh of relief, his expression revealing barely suppressed excitement.
"However, remember—"
Titan's whisper didn't end there; Trinnon continued translating, "The weight of belief does not originate from itself—"
"--And what weighs down the scales is the long-cherished wish itself."
"What does this mean?" Mydei, who was on the other side of the " Scales of Justice," asked.
"I think Titan meant that what weighs heavier than the fate of the world is not personal belief."
"It is a wish, belonging to you, me, and everyone present. What weighs down the scales is not the resolve of Phainon, but the cry of humanity for a ' Savior ' carried by this Oracle Card."
"That includes you and your people, the Kremnosians."
"Are you going to bet your weight on both sides? But don't forget, the Kremnosians are your mortal enemies. Indulging in idealism will only lead to your tragic death under the enemy's spear."
"That's fine. I never said I could be equated with the ' Savior ' in the card."
"I am but a soldier. If dying on the battlefield is my fate, I will have no regrets and will only wield my sword to the very last moment. I believe you feel the same way..."
"The so-called 'heroes' are simply a group of people with such determination. And the ' Savior ' is simply the sum of them all, nothing more."
Da-da-da--
Footsteps sounded from above, and Aglaea and a pink-haired girl dressed as Healer entered the temple.
"Excellent answer."
Aglaea looked at the two, "As the Prophecy foretold: 'The journey to Flame-Chase will today welcome its final two heroes.'"
Upon seeing Aglaea, Mydei scoffed, "... Heh, so your target from the very beginning was me and him."
"People say that Miss Goldweaver is arrogant and ignorant, but you're the first to try and persuade the Kremnos Warriors with Prophecy."
Aglaea calmly replied, "I have a thousand ways to restrain a lion. But this lion didn't come here to fight, did it?"
"The disparity in strength between Okhema and the Kremnos elite forces is enormous, yet not a single one of our troops has perished. This is probably no coincidence," said the girl named Hyacine.
"You really think..." Mydei sneered, "That the warlike Kremnosians would show mercy?"
"But the Kremnos, high-ranking troops are also known for their strict discipline. 'We' can only assume that this is your order."
"It seems that Okhema isn't as pedantic as rumored. Compared to the elders of the Holy City, those present understand the essence of power better."
"Since fate has already brought this together, why not let us host a banquet to celebrate and add another chapter to this encounter?"
"Follow me, two warriors from afar—heroes are as numerous as the stars in the sky, and now, we are united by the firelight of the long night..."
Aglaea raised her head and announced:
"History will record this moment: the Chrysos Heirs, as foretold in the Prophecy, are all in place, heralding the dawn that will surely come to Amphoreus."
