"A curse descended from the sky..." Lunabis murmured, "I cannot verify the truth of this claim."
"When Senios fought against Aegle, the Titan's avatar also flew high into the sky... but it never seemed to attempt to break through the heavens to evade our pursuit."
"Perhaps it doesn't want to win unfairly."
Xing analyzed, while Dan Heng, standing to the side, held a different view:
"There's also a possibility... that Aegle —even as Titan who wields divine authority over the sky... cannot break through the heavens."
"Or perhaps their interpretation of the myth is wrong... There may be someone else who wants to prevent the Amphoreus from contacting the World Beyond the Sky."
"The truth will only be known after it is defeated."
"But before continuing the pursuit... Xing, Mimi, let's unveil the veil of history for Hyacine. The truth of the legend is not yet fully clear."
"Yes, don't worry about leaving it to them!" Mimi patted her chest confidently, "Flowing... converging..."
"Recall... Reveal!"
The past events reappeared before everyone's eyes, People of the Rain gathered together, sternly rebuking the " Daughter of Dusk," Senios.
" Daughter of Dusk, who allowed you to return to the sacred land of the Sons of Dark Clouds? You bear both heretical blood and the curse of gold; expulsion is your ' Eternity ' punishment."
Xing pouted. "It's ' Eternity ' again. Was Teacher Ye Yan there at the time?"
Listening further, the Remembrance of Senios coldly says, "My former people... I am no longer that immature bird; I have found my own wings."
The shackles you imposed on me have rusted and crumbled; I will decide where I should fly.
"As for this return home—before I embark on my journey to slay the god, those who believe in the dying god should know everything."
Some of the People of the Rain suddenly became timid. "So, that terrible rumor is true..."
"The cursed Daughter of Dusk, the invincible Knight of Dawn's Thunder, will soar into the clouds to challenge the Titan..."
Some People of the Rain were cowardly and weak, while People of the Rain, in despair, simply could not comprehend the actions of " Knight of Dawn's Thunder " Senios:
Why did you do this, Senios?
"What a warm and kind girl you were... how devoutly you prayed to Aegle in this temple of the Son of Darkness!"
Unfortunately, Senios wasn't buying into this "flashback": "Because I've seen the Titan ' indifference, and I'm tired of the sorrowful dance that mortals perform under their disregard."
"I see you resent God's favoritism, yet you dare not harbor the slightest thought of resistance against the core of your faith. You know how to plunge a knife into the back of your fellow countrymen, yet you have never had the courage to trace the source of your hatred."
"I pity you. I grew up among you and once considered myself a member of this race..."
"You have suffered enough persecution. For that, I understand your hatred for me... and I forgive your decision to expel me."
Senios looked indifferently at the group of People of the Rain: "It is precisely because I pity you that I will embark on this journey in your place."
"Let the fall of the ' Eye of Dawn and Dusk ' mark the beginning of a new history. When I return, there will be no more unjust gods in the world..."
"When morbid faith crumbles, the Son of Man will be reborn; sunshine and rain will be reconciled, and dawn and dusk will no longer be separated."
Some of the People of the Rain remained harsh. "How innocent you are, Daughter of Dusk... So powerful, yet so naive..."
"I fear you... I can't imagine how twisted you will become when you discover that shallow and fragile mortals cannot bear your overwhelming love..."
"Farewell, my people. I will remember the gentle yet soothing tenderness you bestowed upon me, like a soft, continuous drizzle."
"Fly, Lunabis."
With that recollection, Hyacine looked at Lunabis with a complicated expression.
"Lady Senios... the more resolute her resolve to slay the Titan, the more sorrowful her tone was when she bid farewell to her people."
"But I sensed an ominous premonition from this Remembrance... What happened next, Lunabis?"
"..." Lunabis silent. "Rather than listening to my words, you should continue onward and bear witness."
"Continue to follow the trajectory of Aegle's flight, heroes. This time, I will guide you forward together with Sorabis."
"Beep beep... beep?" Little Ica tilted its head, somewhat confused.
"Sorry, little one... I hope we'll have time to chat again in the future."
The group continued onward and successfully reunited with Sorabis.
"A hero as powerful as Senios... and the other half who united with her and carried on her bloodline, yet there is absolutely no record of them in the legends."
Hyacine wondered, "Is he also a warrior? Or perhaps..."
"... You'll get the answer soon, Miss Hyacine."
"Hey~ Stop playing the Riddlers at a time like this~" March 7th suggested.
"It flew towards the dome of the mural... I remember that place."
"I remember too, Sorabis."
This time, without Mimi needing to exert any effort, the azure " Remembrance " crystal seemed to have an automatic detection function, directly playing for everyone the scene of the decisive battle between " Knight of Dawn's Thunder " Senios and Aegle:
What... happened there?
Phainon asked, the images presented by the Remembrance crystal this time were incredibly realistic, he could even vaguely feel a wave of heat rushing towards him.
"On the dome of the Celestial Mural, we delivered the fatal blow to Aegle."
" The Wings of the Blazing Sun ignited the Titan ' wings..."
"The ' Plume of Stars and Moon ' have sealed the Titan's divine body..."
Hyacine read the next line, "The scarred heroes of the sky... pierced through that last, terrifying giant eye."
"It seems that this part of the legend describing the final battle is quite realistic."
But some things can never be recorded—those that only we witnessed.
"... Would you mind telling us, gentlemen?"
Sorabis nodded slightly. "After Aegle let out a defeated scream, we looked down at the ground."
"Those who looked up at us as we fought—we saw the look on their faces."
It seems that things did not develop as Senios and the two magical beasts had predicted:
"The old, the middle-aged, the young, the children—they all wore the same expression: overwhelming fear."
Our victory was met not with cheers or celebrations. The terrified crowd descended into chaos, screaming and trampling each other...
"When they realized that their centuries-old beliefs had been overturned by a cursed half-breed..."
"They degenerated into Reason, fratricidal beasts."
Upon hearing this, Xing and March 7th simultaneously gasped, feeling goosebumps rise on their skin.
"Hiss... there's even a theory of degeneration?"
