Amphoreus, " Demigod Council " Dawncloud Cliff
Architecture bears witness to the rise and fall of history more than people. Time flows like a river, and countless important meetings have been held here, making decisions, right or wrong, for Okhema.
"... I don't know how to sing any Titan Hymns."
At that Anaxa followed ' Lygus ' to a moving object called ' Janus' Hidden Passage '.
The so-called " Janus' Hidden Passage " is a secret passageway built with the power of the Titan, which can be crossed in an instant by passing through thousands of gates.
"Go, Your Excellency. Through this ' Janus' Hidden Passage,' you will ascend the long steps of pilgrimage."
Anaxa a little surprised. "To be honest, I didn't expect you wouldn't even ask for a reason."
"Because I know perfectly well what you seek," ' Lygus ' replied calmly.
Similarly, as the saying goes, "A gentleman helps others achieve their goals": I have a premonition that your theory will be proven true at the end of this journey--
"I believe that Kephale would not refuse your right to question the Titan. After all, as a dying man, you are now probably the closest thing to Kephale, aren't you?"
"The sons of justice, facing a world that defies reason, will turn the world upside down..."
"May you bring real change to this devastated world."
After passing through the " Janus' Hidden Passage ", Anaxa arrived at the entrance of Titan's Cliff in the blink of an eye.
Climbing the steps from here, you can pay homage to the " Worldbearing " Titan Kephale.
For devout believers, each step here is as sacred as the "silence" of the Titan.
"To be honest, this is my first time climbing to the summit of Dawncloud Cliff..."
"What a magnificent sight..." Cerces exclaimed. "Now you must admit that the Titan are truly spectacular, right?"
"Hmph, I think it's no different from the temple in the city, all show and no substance..."
"Even now, I still doubt whether it can provide me with any valuable clues," Anaxa said.
"Ha~" Cerces seemed to have expected this, "It was wishful thinking of me to expect you to say something agreeable."
"You've been in my mind for quite a while now. What, haven't you gotten used to the attitude of the body's owner yet?"
"Alright, Kephale, let's not waste time..."
"It seems that your previous debate was truly a waste of your brainpower and energy... If Amphoreus has an afterlife, remember to strengthen your body and stop avoiding social obligations," Cerces suggested.
"... No need for you to worry."
"We're only a few steps away from Titan. Can you hold on?"
"Hmph... Even if I can't hold on, you can't carry me up there, can you?"
Anaxa, "I'm confident in my abilities, Shut Up and follow."
"Alright, alright. Then I won't waste any more words. I'll just wait for your soul to completely dissipate, then take control of your body."
Meanwhile, Hyacine and Dan Heng arrived at the Grove of Epiphany " Whispering Woods ".
As we all know, the most direct way to maintain Data Bank is to visit local Data Bank, a practice that Professor Dan Heng is well aware of.
"What are you thinking about?" Hyacine asked Dan Heng.
"I can only marvel at the fact that this towering tree is the body of Cerces. It's truly magnificent."
"Is that so? I'm not surprised at all. It seems Little Dan is quite familiar with the 'city surrounding the land'?"
Dan Heng frowned slightly, "... These are just old stories, let's not go into them."
"The past... When I first looked up at Cerces, I was a child. Its branches reflected the starlight, and its trunk seemed to be a pillar of heaven and earth."
"Back then, I stood right here, dreaming that one day I could reach the top of the tree, the place closest to the 'sky'."
Dan Heng sensed something was amiss. "You, as a 'Sky' priest, are studying in the habitat of the ' Reason ' Titan. It seems somewhat counterintuitive."
"The reason isn't that complicated; how could mortals possibly attain the kingdom of Aegle?"
Hyacine shook her head. "It's different from Cerces; it's a stern and inhuman god. ' Reason ' is willing to share with others, but 'the sky' only needs people's awe."
" Little Dan can understand, after all, the Titan who imprisoned you, Little Gray, and Little Seven in Amphoreus... was Aegle."
"I never expected that I would unintentionally become a thorn in the side of a local god."
"But there are always people on earth who dream of flying to the sky. The Grove has done considerable research on Aegle, which is also the purpose of our trip."
"But... before they left, Little Butterfly and Little Gray encountered that kind of 'trouble'."
The 'trouble' that Hyacine is referring to here is naturally the matter of Xing and Castorice investigating the " Hand of Ashen Gloom ".
After all, no one would have expected that in Star's " As I Have Written," not only would the other Titan remain locked, but the " Hand of Ashen Gloom " would fail to unlock, which is quite strange.
"Misfortunes never come singly, and there's nothing we can do about it. You still need to find out the whole story of the Grove disaster for Aglaea; you have to make this trip."
"Keep an eye out for the 'Death' Titan documents along the way; it'll make the trip worthwhile."
"Hmm, another heavy burden has fallen on my shoulders. In this vast Grove, I wonder where the thing I'm looking for is scattered."
"Let's split up. I'm confident that with Little Dan's skills, even the Black Tide Creation can't harm you."
Dan Heng spread his hands, dealing with the Black Tide Creation was a piece of cake for him:
"But what about you? Are you alright?"
Hyacine put her hands on her hips and said, "I'm the top student of ' Duskglow Courtyard.' Aren't you underestimating me by saying that?"
"... It's so quiet." Dan Heng turned his head and looked at the empty Grove. "The knowledge stored in this academy is like a forest; even the most brilliant scholars would get lost in it."
As the Astral Express Crew's sole strategist, Dan Heng began to organize the existing intelligence:
First is Aegir, the Titan who rules the skies. In mythology, he is described as a giant bird with a hundred eyes that overlooks the world.
As long as it continues to fly in the clouds, the Amphoreus people cannot leave the ground...
Dan Heng rubbed his chin. This sounded like a tricky problem. A giant flying bird. It would be best if it could be killed in one blow.
Sigh~ With March 7th's archery skills, it might be a bit difficult to take down Aegle.
" Hyacine's ancestor was a priestess who worshipped Aegle, and she had the deepest understanding of the taboos surrounding the 'sky.'"
"Besides, Aglaea's decision to send her as a guide is probably also a preparation for the future trials," Dan Heng guessed to himself.
In Amphoreus, the " Titan " are an unavoidable topic. People create myths, and myths, in turn, shape them... It's always difficult to remain objective when you're in the thick of it all.
Hmm... Is there a way to change our perspective and think about it from a different angle?
Dan Heng immediately thought of Ye Yan, but it was clear that he couldn't get any more information about " Titan " from him.
