"Ha! What an arrogant robot. You think you can understand me with just your meager calculations?"
Herta became interested. "But since we've come this far, why not tell us: what are the consequences?"
"It concerns the third Path that binds Amphoreus, the one that you and your friend have yet to unravel..."
Lygus turned around and raised his arms. " Destruction. If you ignore my warning and insist on going your own way—"
"You will shatter the shackles of a ' Lord Ravager,' whose wrath will engulf the galaxy."
Upon hearing this, ' Herta ' became even more excited.
"Oh, ' The Lord Ravager '. And then? Is it the Zephyro or the Iron Tomb?"
"Good question."
' Lygus ' fell silent, and a full minute of silence ensued between the two.
In the end, Ms. Herta was defeated by the Intellitron man before her.
"Hmm... how long are we going to keep up this act?"
" Lygus 'm sorry, ma'am, I don't understand what you're saying."
The next second, Herta pointed to the milk tea in ' Lygus's ' hand, shrugged, and didn't even need to say anything.
Ye Yan:...
Herta:...
"Haha~ Ms. Herta's insight is extraordinary, I admire her greatly."
Ye Yan removed his ' Lygus ' disguise; he hadn't originally intended to hide it.
Herta's lips twitched slightly. "I really didn't expect that the mighty ' Eternity ' Aeon would be here disguised as an Intellitron."
"So... are you playing some kind of role-playing game with the Astral Express?" Herta asked.
"It's just an experiment." Ye Yan smiled. "An experiment... concerning the survival of the entire universe."
Meanwhile, Xing returned to her familiar private bathhouse and arrived at the Vortex of Genesis via the "washbasin".
Looking back on her experiences in Amphoreus these past few days, Xing felt only exhaustion, both mentally and physically.
On March 7th, at the suggestion of the Golden Clan, he accepted the trial of "Time," while the rest quickened their pace in search of the "Death" Titan Cenatos.
On the other side, the Seven Sages of the Grove of Epiphany, Anaxa, broke free from the Golden Thread's surveillance and actively sought the protection of the Senate.
After gaining the trust of the Senate, he ascended Cloudcliff with the "rational" Titan Sersis residing within him to meet the "negative" Titan Cephale.
In exchange for information about the entrance to the Underworld, Castorice had no choice but to persuade the Senate to propose a "suspension of the Journey of Flame-Chase ".
With the help of the demigod Cipher, Xing and she traveled together to the Ancient City of Dragonbone Styxia, where they even sparred using the " Flipping Coin ".
Afterwards, the Butterfly successfully forged the Death Dragon Polyces and used it to return to the Underworld to meet the Titan Cenatos, the Titan of Death, and return the Titan Fire and the future that had been stolen.
The cycle of life and death in Amphoreus returned to order, bringing joy to all. At that Anaxa's soul also met Castorice in the Underworld, thus proving the Creation hypothesis.
He cast the crucial vote in the Assembly and used the crime of blasphemy to thwart the Senate's ambition to Journey of Flame-Chase " to continue.
After returning the Core Flame to Cerces, that Anaxa's physical body finally perished.
Thus, the " Journey of Flame-Chase " is drawing to a close, and next... it's time to turn our attention to the "sky".
"Ah, time really flies."
Xing stroked his chin. In the blink of an eye, the " Journey of Flame-Chase " was coming to an end. Once the "Sky" Core Flame returned to its place, Amphoreus would soon meet its conclusion...
I hope so.
The Core Flame of Thanatos and Cerces have been restored, and twelve stars float in the void, overlooking the Vortex of Genesis.
They symbolize the twelve gods of Amphoreus: the fate, pillars, life, and calamity of this world.
Now, ten of them have perished, their Core Flame returned to the origin of Creation. Constellations twinkle overhead, their brilliant light echoing the eternal slumber of the Titan.
As for Xing himself... he personally experienced four promotions and four departures.
The " Spear of Divine Retribution " once transformed into a mad king, bringing endless Strife to the world, before finally ending with the valiant efforts of the people.
The demigod who succeeded him—the immortal Mydeimos —chose to bear the name of the Kremnos alone, returning home to take over the crown, transforming his body into the last line of defense for the Holy City.
May you be invincible, my Mydei!
In the Sanctum of Prophecy, the embodiment of Years places its hopes on this group of "visitors from outer space"; at that moment, the lively red-haired girl completed her mission and bid farewell to everyone.
It's important to note that this farewell refers to a short rest; teachers Tribbie, Trinnon, and Trianne are all in good health.
Years may not be fair, but Years never stops. And now, this power has been entrusted to March 7th. May she continue to work hard!
Then there's " Reason "... Not long ago, the leader of the Grove, accompanied by the stars, repelled the cruel threat that emerged from the Black Tide.
Not long ago, that unconventional scholar put on a grand performance, paying the price with her life to allow her to glimpse a corner of the truth of this world.
"O embodiment of Reason, at the end of existence, have you found the answer?"
The star raises a cup of milk tea towards the icon of the " Reason " Core Flame, wishing, "May Cerces defend your thoughts."
The Prophecy commanded the " Hand of Ashen Gloom " to choose two people and grant them the fate of death, but their feelings for each other continued to create a long and poignant epic for each of them.
Ultimately, the half-dead body that traveled from the Underworld to the mortal realm decided to stay in that sea of flowers and find the Core Flame for the stars.
Nowadays, the image of that sea of blooming Antimone Flower flashes through Xing's mind from time to time.
"Let's meet again at the End of the West Wind, Castorice."
Xing let out a long sigh, "It was such a long journey..."
The repeated partings did not numb the new batch of Nameless; Xing couldn't help but wonder, how many more farewells would the " Trailblaze " journey involve?
Xing was very Curiosity: could she deliver each "goodbye" with full emotion?
Thoughts drifted to the Ocean... Xing recalled the Amphoreus people's passion for epics, using stories to soothe their inner sorrow.
Perhaps, she should also use this method to dispel her depression and pick herself up again.
--Let's get started!
Xing closes her eyes, and countless words related to adventure flood her mind; she only needs to grasp one as an anchor for her creation...
Don't let the noise from the outside world distract you; focus on the key words in your mind...
jingle!
An untimely notification sound came at that moment.
Clear your mind and reflect quietly...
jingle!
Xing frowned slightly. Hmm, this is indeed difficult, but it's not a challenge for Galactic Baseballer!
She should hold fast to her inspiration and weave heartfelt, beautiful verses...
jingle!
... Okay, this is simply an impossible task.
The stars seemed like deflated balloons, prompting us to trace the culprit.
A quick glance at her phone wouldn't affect her thinking at all—that's what Xing told herself.
