Joking aside, I can't refuse the milk tea the Aeon gave me.
Xing took back the cup of milk tea that she had pushed away; this doesn't exactly fit the "it smells so good" principle.
As you know, as Nameless " Trailblaze," she has always been interested in " Elation " milk tea, and as for " Eternity " and such, it no longer matters.
Besides, since they already own a " Tavern," they'll definitely have milk tea too.
[ Aha ~ You're such a hypocrite, Little Grey Hair guy, you've got that guy's style!]
"You have good taste."
Xing nodded in satisfaction. She was physically in " Elation " but her heart was set on " Eternity." She had long been a member of the " Church of Eternity "!
[Hiss~ Aha, something feels off...]
The mask sprouted hands that seemed to touch its chin.
"I totally agree. You should learn from Galactic Baseballer's natural way of making friends; he just started chatting with Aeon so naturally."
[That reminds Aha! Little Grey Hair, you seem to have trouble distinguishing between the King and Queen!]
The next second, Xing aimed at the Fool's Mask and threw the milk tea out again.
[Aww!!!]
The Fool's Mask emitted a piercing scream, a reaction that baffled Xing. Could this milk tea really 'harm' Him?
Galactic Baseballer began to use her genius-level intellect to think. As everyone knows, the first thing that comes to mind when you think of milk tea is " Eternity." Considering what Aha had just told her to use her newly acquired " Spear of Divine Retribution " to attack this cup of milk tea...
Xing suddenly realized, so this cup of milk tea was actually Teacher Ye Yan's... divine consciousness?
Well, she wasn't entirely sure either. If it really was just a wisp of the Aeon's consciousness, she probably would have fainted the moment she arrived in this space, never to rise again.
Wait, space?
Having caught the key words, Galactic Baseballer's mind exploded; she understood!
This must be a space related to " Eternity." The " Elation " mask was imprisoned here by Ye Yan, and this cup of milk tea represents His will!
Xing's gaze towards the mask changed. " Aha, bro, I'm starting to doubt you..."
They dared to attempt to sever the bond between her and " Eternity "! They have already committed suicide!
Xing stood with her hands on her hips, from this moment on, she was the strictest mother of the " Elation " Aeon!
"Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely!"
Xing ripped off the Fool's Mask from his right arm and kept hitting it with his mimicry baseball bat.
[Holy crap, is there no law in this world anymore?!]
The Crimson Mask felt insulted, but instead of being angry, it found it quite amusing!
"If you have masochistic tendencies, just say so. Don't use 'fun' as an excuse for everything. Times have changed!"
With " Equilibrium " in control, the Pathstrider has turned the tables and is now beating up the Aeon!
The Fool's Mask remained unresisted; it could not harm Him at all.
"I'm exhausted! Aeon is so resilient!"
[ Aha ~ Liwei, are you ready? Little Grey Hair, with your strength, even after thousands of Amber Era, you still won't be able to make Aha feel pain!]
Tell me, does God bleed?
[ Aha ~ Of course not!]
As soon as he finished speaking, Xing summoned the " Eternity Enhanced Edition - Spear of Divine Retribution " and held it in his hand.
"And now?"
The Fool's Mask:...
[(Sound of swallowing) Ugh~ Can we reconcile?]
"Can't."
Without the slightest hesitation, Xing unleashed a two-pronged attack: the " Spear of Eternity · The Hunt " and the mimicry baseball bat!
Several more piercing screams echoed from within the space...
[I'm furious! How dare you use Aha's things against Aha!]
"Hiss~ This weapon's full name is ' Spear of Eternity · The Hunt,' but I don't see a single element of ' Elation ' in it."
The torture by Xing clearly did not harm Aha. On the other hand, He remained true to His original intention, disguising Himself as Intellitron narrator, and whispering in Ye Yan's ear:
"Continuing from where we left off, as Aglaea, the ' Goldweaver,' stated, the Chrysos Heirs from the Prophecy are all in place, foreshadowing the dawn that will eventually arrive in Amphoreus."
"The play is nearing its end; it represents the man's earliest Remembrance. Its significance is especially profound for the upcoming ' Re-Creation.'"
"This is the moment the gods have calculated. The journey that follows is no different from anything we know." Some arrive, some depart, Flame-Chase Participants, carrying their glimmers of light, struggle forward through the long night.
"Our seats are ready, please take your places: after thirteen heartbeats--"
"The heroes' ship will ferry them to the final act!"
Ye Yan's expression remained unchanged, without the slightest fluctuation. The space-time he was currently in was completely independent of the Scepter δ-me13, a place even more secluded than the Tomb of the Nameless Titan.
' Amphoreus ' is the place where ' Remembrance ' and ' Eternity ' meet, and it is the key site for the Scepter data life to ascend to a higher dimension.
The method is simple: collect all the data of the Chrysos Heirs.
Now, Amphoreus's projections are everywhere in all dimensions of time and space.
They say there should be as many heroes in the world as there are stars in the sky...
But now, only we are left...
" The Black Tide has finally swept across the world..."
Cyrene gripped the ceremonial sword, a hint of sorrow on her face, as she looked at Okhema, who was plunged into eternal night. Even with the blessing of " Eternity," she had still failed to protect anything.
"With the Kremnos of Xuanfeng holding the western front, it won't fall anytime soon. The purpose of the magic arrays that Teacher Anaxa set up in the north and east before his death is still unknown, but I believe in him," Phainon said.
"As for Okhema... there's no need to worry about Aglaea. Even in her death, she remains the most noble demigod. The ' Romance ' web is unbreakable, and the citizens of the Holy City have responded to her last wish, throwing themselves into the defense."
"Let us go, Kephale has offered its Core Flame. For the sake of Amphoreus, we must complete the 'Recreation' before the Re-Creation!"
"Only three hours left..."
Phainon fell into a brief silence. "So, this is the last time we'll see her."
"We... set out in response to the world's wishes, right?"
"Every Chrysos Heirs is like this, it has never changed," Cyrene said.
"Then, why...?"
Phainon looked up at the shattered sky, "Is Amphoreus's wish so unreasonable?"
"At every correct point in time, everyone did their best and made the right choices."
"But in the end, the Prophecy that guided us, the Black Tide that swallowed the world... Why did it turn out this way?"
Cyrene gripped the ceremonial sword tightly. "We have no choice but to move forward. Even if a long night lies ahead, we must believe... that's the direction of dawn."
"And at the end of the flames, the blazing sun will eventually rise. So let us go to the Sanctum of Prophecy, take over the power of ' Years,' let all the Core Flame return to the Vortex of Genesis, and bring this world's destiny to a close."
"Then let us all prepare for destruction... or embark on the final, great journey."
Suddenly, it was as if an invisible hand had pressed the pause button, and the whole world 'froze'.
" Aha, friend, isn't this strange? How come these two from Aedes Elysiae have switched roles?"
The Fool's Mask moved closer to Ye Yan, pressing him with questions and launching further attacks:
"See, wherever ' Eternity ' sets foot, the ultimate fate is always 'collapse'."
"Tsk... If I didn't just be your narrator and explain things with peace of mind, how could I become a complainer?"
Ye Yan pushed off the scarlet mask. Regarding "pity" and "hatred"... to turn Amphoreus into a real planet, besides enough " Eternity," there is only emotion.
If one loses emotions, one is no longer a true organic life.
Take Fulisina, for example. Even with her aloof elf nature, she would eventually develop an insane amount of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) under the guidance of some scoundrel.
The case is solved! The " Elation " Aeon is the root of all evil, Aha is guilty of heinous crimes!
