"... I thought I could buy more time."
Aglaea gazed at the clear pool water and murmured to herself:
"A thousand years... I witnessed the fall of ten Titan. From their initial arrogance and ignorance, to their gradual groping to guide others..."
"Now it's time to let go. I should be grateful... grateful that I've finally waited for this moment—that my departure can become a long staircase for everyone."
Her voice held a gentle, relieved tone, "... Have I done enough? If I were to embrace that prophecy now and fall asleep in the warm pool..."
"... Will the wind that travels far stop for me, Cifera?"
wrong!
This was completely different from what Canis had expected!
Canis frowned, filled with suspicion: Aglaea's change in attitude was too abrupt, completely unlike her previous self!
A sense of unease crept in, and Canis snapped back to reality—something was amiss!
Before Canis could suppress her doubts, she sternly forced Aglaea to throw herself into the pool and end her life.
call out!
A chilling silver starlight pierced her chest without warning.
Those ' Purgers ' surrounding Aglaea didn't even have a chance to react before they silently vanished into dust, like stains wiped away by an eraser.
Crimson blood slowly seeped out, spreading quietly along the fabric without splashing wildly, but it completely extinguished the arrogant aura surrounding Canis.
The excruciating pain instantly overwhelmed all of Canis's senses.
She shuddered and looked down in disbelief, seeing a hole in her robe, its edge shimmering with starlight, rapidly being stained a blinding scarlet.
The power drained away from her limbs like a receding tide, and a suffocating feeling gripped Canis's throat. She couldn't even let out a complete cry of pain, only managing incomprehensible coughs.
Blood gushed uncontrollably from his mouth, and his vision was quickly swallowed by darkness.
In her last glimpse before her consciousness completely succumbed, she saw only a patch of silver hair that looked like moonlight had solidified, and a pair of cold, emerald eyes.
As the clouds scattered across the sky, Fulisina silently descended upon the misty bathhouse, stepping on fine specks of light.
The priest's magnificent robes trailed across the ground, exuding an aloof and arrogant aura.
After landing, Fulisina didn't even spare a glance for the dying Canis, her voice devoid of any emotion:
" Canis...?"
As a " Romance " demigod, Aglaea still harbors warmth and attachment to the people of Okhema. She values Order, upholds humanity, and considers the well-being of her people.
For Fulisina, however, " Eternity " was the only belief and principle in this world.
Apart from that, all Strife, all forces, and all troublesome ants are insignificant.
Meanwhile, the Senate behind Canis attempted to undermine Amphoreus's " Eternity," blaspheme the power of the demigods, and disrupt the peace of Okhema.
This had already crossed the line of Fulisina's identity as the ' High Priest ' and violated the Law that symbolized " Eternity " in her heart.
" Senate?"
Fulisina slightly raised her eyes, realizing that anything that hindered the development of " Eternity " could simply be erased.
Her blue eyes gleamed with absolute arrogance; in fact, she had wanted to do this for a long time.
Amphoreus, the " Land of Eternity," what multiple Path? This place belongs only to " Eternity," to that supreme being!
After He found her, He told Fulisina not to believe in those Nihility doctrines and verbal disputes.
The law of the world is the survival of the fittest and the supremacy of strength; this is an " Eternity " and unchanging truth.
Power defines hierarchy, strength determines right and wrong, and on this land woven from Scepter, she, wielding absolute power, is the sole embodiment of justice.
Without glancing at Canis on the ground again, her Fulisina eyes, as cold as a deep pool, turned slowly and looked at Aglaea by the pool, her coldness slightly diminishing.
Her silver hair moved without wind, and Fulisina raised her hand, a wisp of starlight swirling around her fingertips, enough to dim the stars.
Her gaze returned to the demigod below, whose expression was complex and unreadable, as if he had anticipated all of this. She coughed lightly a few times and adjusted her tone:
" Aglaea, your 'trouble'... is gone."
"Our Lord has already set the course; today's events are already within the Eternity trajectory."
Fulisina lowered her fingertips, the starlight around her slowly receding into her hair, and her ruthless coldness softened somewhat:
"The remnants of the Senate are still lurking in the shadows; anyone who violates the ' Eternity ' law is unworthy to remain in Amphoreus."
Aglaea nodded, raising her hand to stroke the warm pool water beside her. This thousand-year-old shackle should be put to rest by her own hands.
"Ah... there's no need to be distracted by this anymore; just return to your duties," Fulisina added.
Fulisina wasn't someone who craved worldly Strife... even though she had just been helping to drive away the Purgers in the " Abyss of Fate " Janusapolis.
Ahem~ In short, her help was never for the sake of the city, but simply to follow the will of the one and only Lord.
Incidentally... I'll also help Him clear out some minor, insignificant problems.
Hmm? Something seems off?
Does this mean she's become another group of " Purgers "?
Fulisina stroked her chin, ceasing her contemplation. Tiny portals of light bloomed around her, and her figure vanished into the celestial light in an instant, leaving only a faint aura of " Eternity."
The scene shifts to the Vortex of Genesis.
The shimmering portal closed in the tranquil space, and Fulisina landed steadily, suppressing her aura.
She glanced up at the familiar layout of the bubble tea shop, her heart overflowing with joy.
That rescue was absolutely flawless.
Fulisina reviewed the situation repeatedly in her mind, feeling increasingly smug.
The king descended from the sky, a single spark of starlight flashed, instantly annihilating all the villains present, and then made a cold and aloof exit.
She handled the situation with absolutely no unnecessary emotion; it was a textbook example of how to save the day.
Even though she wasn't the one in charge of managing Order, the feeling of quietly quelling the chaos and taking control of the situation was incredibly exhilarating.
Moreover, in Fulisina's view, Canis and her group were a ticking time bomb planted in Amphoreus.
Not only do they want to overthrow the Order of Okhema, but they also attempt to interfere with the 'trajectory' of the Astral Express and disrupt the Nameless ' progress in the plot. Their crimes are heinous!
Fulisina's intervention this time was also with Ye Yan's tacit approval. She did not appear as the " Eternity " Emanator, but as the original high High Priest of Okhema!
Hmm~ It fulfilled its duty and also conveniently saved the day, so it's a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.
Fulisina coughed lightly, forcibly suppressing the smugness surging in her heart, and resumed her usual stern priestess demeanor, raising her hand and gently waving it in the air.
A pale silver virtual screen unfolded before her, displaying the "holy city" of Okhema from a thousand years ago, with Ye Yan's figure clearly visible within it.
