"However... this reminds me that I haven't prepared a coffin for Canis yet."
Ye Yan thought for a moment and remembered that " Duke Inferno " Afrit had previously released a video declaring war on all factions in the world, with the most serious intention to attack " Eternity ".
Afrit's " Annihilation Gang " has never lacked courage, so Ye Yan admires them greatly, considering them several levels higher than the " Antimatter Legion ".
Unfortunately, Afrit was incredibly unlucky, encountering the Emanator of " Nihility " and " Eternity," and ultimately met Nanook without a fight.
His soul and spirit were destroyed, but his physical body was sealed in an ice coffin by Fulisina.
And that ice coffin... it has quite a history. Originally, Fulisina didn't have a good impression of Afrit, whose strength was so weak that he was no different from a roadside insect.
Both Fulisina and Acheron were deeply moved after hearing Afrit's impassioned declaration.
Acheron had already confessed the power of " Nihility " to Afrit, Fulisina, out of some unknown "kindness," made his death painless.
The scorching heat of the Ever-Flame Mansion had completely dissipated by then. Amidst the broken beams and rubble, only the " Eternity " crystal coffin stood silently, its cold, eerie glow constantly shimmering.
It is a testament to the embodiment of " Eternity," a silent dialogue between two Path, the ultimate monument to Afrit as a martyr of Destruction, and the embodiment of Fulisina as the Emanator " Eternity " fulfilling her responsibilities.
"Wait a minute... where is the fulfillment of responsibility? Is ' Eternity ' really that kind?"
"What do you think?" Ye Yan countered.
" Aha ~ Don't make Aha laugh."
The fuel of " Destruction " will eventually burn out, but the Netherfire in that crystal coffin will forever be sealed in " Eternity," marking the final heroic sacrifice of the Duke of the Flame Demons and becoming an indelible pointer in the universe.
Ah... now I know what kind of coffin to use.
Ye Yan snapped his fingers, and the ice coffin containing " Duke Inferno " Afrit appeared before him:
Upon closer inspection, the surface of the crystal coffin is not as smooth as a mirror; its billions of facets refract a shattered view of the universe.
The inner wall flowed with the cold light of starlight; upon closer inspection, it turned out to be solidified imaginary energy veins.
At the bottom of the coffin lay a layer of grayish-white embers, each grain a remnant of Afrit's burning life, yet solidified into stardust within the coffin.
The coffin lid revealed thorn-like dark patterns—the obsession that pierced the palm of the Fire Demon before his death, now imprinted by " Eternity " as his epitaph...
A sneer abruptly interrupted Ye Yan's thoughts, " Aha, I suddenly thought of something very interesting, want to hear it?"
"He who is buried in Eternity becomes Eternity itself."
Ye Yan immediately replied, "I don't understand."
As the words fell, echoes of the past resurfaced before Ye Yan and the Fool's Mask.
"This is not a prison, but a divinely bestowed observation platform."
Fulisina's fingertips brushed across the coffin, and ice crystals instantly spread into vines, binding the fire demon's spirit that was trying to escape.
Acheron's scabbard trembled slightly, her pupils reflecting the crystal coffin. She could vaguely sense a deeper metaphor:
The faceted structure of the ice coffin subtly echoes the trajectory of the " The Hunt " arrows, while the shadow cast by " Nihility " floats in the frozen embers.
Well, the conclusion is: this coffin has quite a history.
It's no surprise that it was bestowed by 'that person'. Acheron never expected that Fulisina would use such a significant item on a fire demon.
"Why?"
Fulisina lowered her eyes and did not answer. The blood droplets that had congealed at the bottom of her staff dripped down and bloomed into a fleeting red lotus on the base of the crystal coffin. It was the infernal fire that the fire demon had failed to pass on.
"Wow~ even Aha couldn't help but comment after seeing this."
The mask paused the fragments of the past and flew in front of Ye Yan.
"That elven Emanator is so attentive to Afrit, my friend, but you actually plan to use this coffin inside an Emperor's Scepter?"
It has to be said that both the " Eternity " Aeon and the " Eternity " Emanator are incredibly powerful. Compared to them, Aha felt that even his own " Elation " had become quite refined.
Don't you think this is hilarious?
The Fool's Mask swayed. "This is not the ' Elation ' Aha wanted to see."
"Oh... that makes sense. Let me explain."
Ye Yan touched the ice coffin, which was devoid of any warmth. Anyone who touched the ice coffin would hear the Finality monologue of the Fire Demon.
" Destruction is a magnificent moment; if one seeks survival through base means, life is far too long."
The declaration that "all things are born to be Destruction " echoes endlessly within the ice walls, becoming an Eternity elegy.
"Those History Fictionologists who see this might say that Afrit is actually a potential ' Eternity ' traveler, as they always have been; that's the nature of 'mysticism.'"
"But I will not refute it. So, I will infuse this Scepter with ' Eternity,' and when the name ' Amphoreus ' becomes known to the world and resounds throughout the universe, what will History Fictionologists think?"
Aha immediately realized the answer, " Aha ~ The 'place where multiple Path converge' is actually a conspiracy of ' Eternity '! ' Eternity ' is actually worse than ' Destruction '!"
"Wow, this is a really big scapegoat!"
"Heh, that's exactly the kind of scapegoat I wanted."
Cloud Stone Market in the Holy City of Okhema
Before the workshop of the master craftsman Hatonus, Phainon held a brand-new weapon, the greatsword " Dawn's Advance " forged for him by Hatonus.
"Prepare for battle before dawn. Swing your sword for tomorrow. As befits your status, Chrysos Heirs."
Phainon was shocked. "Incredible. You clearly didn't see that swordsman in black with your own eyes... and you were able to reconstruct the story to such an extent just by hearing my words?"
"Precision, your description. I have infused it with the power of dawn. I heed your will, and its blade will be imbued with golden flames."
"Wave it, and may you be invincible."
Phainon nodded. "Thank you, Hatonus —I will use this longsword to protect the creatures of Amphoreus."
"And another thing..."
Hatonus handed over a bracelet with gold wire.
"And this is it again..."
"Sealed here, are the remnants of Aglaea's divinity. This is her mandate. She foresaw her own death long ago."
But... the situation has changed.
Phainon pressed, "Can she... hear us? No... Hatonus, do you know where Aglaea is?"
"I can't be sure. We know very little about divinity."
Hatonus handed the gold bracelet to Phainon: "In this way, she wants to stay with you, no matter what."
"I understand. Let me keep it safe. That way... I'll have another inseparable item with me."
A long time ago, someone told me, "I hope this world never needs Savior."
"But when the world fails her expectations and falls apart, if she sees me standing at the forefront, leading people to resist fate..."
"... She'll definitely smile."
