As Xing and his companions continued their journey through the " Dome Stronghold " at the Eye of Dawn and Dusk, following Lunabis's Remembrance, they discovered an unexpected bonus.
Besides Lunabis, it also had a companion, a strange beast named Sorabis, but unfortunately, Sorabis was corrupted by the Black Tide.
"Lord Sorabis, your body has been completely corrupted by the Black Tide."
"But I can still heal your stubborn soul, just like Lunabis, whose heart remains noble even after losing his physical body."
Hyacine stepped forward, "Please hold fast to your remaining consciousness, we will allow you... to awaken once more as a heroic spirit."
"I wonder how much it can understand..."
Xing wasn't good at conversation, so after thinking it over, she decided that physical punishment was the most effective method.
"After the appeasement is over, it's the baseball bat that decides the outcome."
"It will definitely understand... Although it is suffering from the Black Tide, it is a wise and strong creature." Hyacine looked at Sorabis, who was tormented by the Black Tide.
"The battle is unavoidable, but we are not fighting for destruction... but for redemption."
" Sorabis, the legendary ' Wings of the Blazing Sun ' who always accompanies heroes, if this battle reminds you of your past glories, it would be my honor..."
Xing did not launch an attack as expected. Instead, she feinted and turned to unleash " Eternity Oath of Beauty " on Sorabis.
A rainbow-like light instantly enveloped Sorabis, and by the time everyone came to their senses, the Black Tide that had tormented it had completely dissipated.
"It's over?" March 7th hadn't even reacted yet.
Lunabis flew over, " Sorabis..."
"These days, I'm not surprised at all by seeing Pegasus's statement."
"Don't be surprised, right? After all, this is a world where even pink puppies can talk..."
Mimi said helplessly, "Oh dear, even people are starting to refer to themselves like that!"
" Sorabis... you've finally awakened."
Sorabis let out a series of low growls, "My consciousness has been lost for far too long. Finally, the prison of the Black Tide has been opened."
"You, little girl, are you the descendant of Senios?"
"It is I, Lord Sorabis. My name is Hyacinthia, and my companions call me Hyacine."
Sorabis hesitated for a moment, then said, " Hyacinthus —you do not carry her scent."
"A thousand years have passed, and the bloodline of the heroine Senios is probably incredibly thin now. But the Sky Clan's resolve has never been eroded by Years, and I have come here to fulfill her last wish."
"How much do you know about her last wishes?" Sorabis asked.
"I know... she merged with the Titan's divine body to support the shattered sky."
"I also know that she left behind advice, so that future generations might one day return to the summit and take away Aegle's Core Flame."
"... Since falling to earth, has the legend changed to this form? Girl, you say you are a Healer?"
"Knowing only how to heal and soothe the wounded... With such a fragile destiny, what does she intend to rely on to challenge the embodiment of the sky?"
Phainon stepped forward and displayed " Dawn's Advance " before Sorabis: "With this longsword, heroic souls..."
"And these too."
Xing displayed a mimicry baseball bat, the Supreme Guardian's fire spear, the Clockmaker's top hat, a quill pen that appeared out of thin air, and Fool's Mask that was not yet activated and was tucked into his shoulder.
"I know them all like the back of my hand..." She lightly tossed her gray hair and smiled confidently.
Furthermore, Dan Heng and March 7th also displayed their Cloud-Piercing Spear and Ice Bow.
Sorabis and Lunabis fell silent.
"As you can see, we are all Hyacinthia's partners, her comrades-in-arms."
"And you've already witnessed the power we possess."
"... Not bad, but still far from her level," Sorabis retorted stubbornly.
" Sorabis, put aside your arrogance and accept their kindness."
"During the Years you were trapped by the Black Tide, the world underwent dramatic changes. If I'm not mistaken, even the God of War Nikador, fell at the hands of these warriors."
Phainon nodded. "We have brought peace to the other Titan. Now, the end of the Flame-Chase is the master of this sky fortress."
"Please lead us to Aegle, you two heroic souls."
"The era of killing gods to obtain fire was initiated by Senios herself. Even if she could not witness the end of an era, at least you can bear witness on her behalf."
Sorabis looked up at Phainon: "... Confident and sharp, I see a bit of her in you."
Just then, the " Eye of Dawn and Dusk " above everyone changed drastically, disappearing from their sight in a flash.
" Aegle's mark... flew away?"
Xing frowned. " Titan... has it noticed something?"
"Perhaps it sensed our awakening... perhaps our presence reminded it of the fierce battle a thousand years ago."
"From our past Remembrance, we know that the Titan of the sky are wary of dark clouds. Perhaps you two know more details?" Phainon seized the opportunity to extract more crucial information.
"What the Memory Spirit said is true, but you still need a guide. Follow me, and let the Hunter God restart. Hyacinthia, and warriors."
Lunabis went ahead to the next stop, while Sorabis led the group onward to explore the " Eye of Dawn and Dusk."
"A thousand years have passed, and everything here seems unchanged—except for the absence of human noise."
"This is the temple of the People of the Sun, where the Children of the Scorching Sun once held grand ceremonies to express their gratitude for Aegle's gifts."
"So... is the Sky Titan really favoring the People of the Sun?" Hyacine asked.
"That's what everyone thought, until Senios's spear pierced through Aegle's rage."
"Only then did we finally understand: Aegle was hiding from was not the rain and clouds, but the terror lurking in the shadows."
Before he finished speaking, everyone guessed what the 'terrifying thing' Sorabis was talking about.
" The Black Tide... that thing has been spreading all this time."
"The threat of the Black Tide compels the Chrysos Heirs to complete their Journey of Flame-Chase, towards the Creation miracle foretold in the Prophecy."
"The ' Chrysos Heirs '... In our time, that title would stir up waves of indignation. But you appear to be revered heroes."
"It's all thanks to our predecessors— Tribios and Aglaea, you should have heard of those two names."
"Oh... it was those two who made it to the end," Sorabis remarked.
"Let's not dwell on irrelevant matters. You know how to activate the Celestial Globe. Go, force out the Titan on the mural."
"Leave it to me."
Xing flipped the mimicry baseball bat over, attaching spikes, and took a deep breath.
"Call..."
" Titan, behold this blow that could upend the heavens!"
With all her might, she hurled the bat in the direction where the " Eye of Dawn and Dusk " had disappeared.
