Having resolved this unexpected encounter, the group proceeded to the next Celestial Globe.

This time, Xing was fully prepared, using the " Preservation " Flame Spear to create a massive shield that covered the entire " Dome Stronghold ".

Phainon looked up at the " Eye of Dawn and Dusk and Dusk," which had turned crimson, and gripped the Greatsword of Dawn's Advance tightly in his hand.

" Senios possesses the power to kill gods... but she cannot sever the karma buried deep within the heart of the Son of Man."

The Black Tide creations were destroyed by the crowd, and Sorabis and Lunabis were able to escape.

Hyacine recited the familiar incantation, and history began to repeat itself.

Phainon's face suddenly turned extremely ugly. It was clearly just a " Remembrance " illusion, but the feeling was unmistakable!

"Could this be...?"

The disheveled old believers knelt on the ground, pleading with the woman before them. "Please help us, please save us, the abandoned Child of the Sky..."

"... Lady Canis, a powerful figure who follows the path of shadows."

"It's the ' Purgers '...!" Phainon exclaimed incredulously. "Could it be that the Child of the Sky have colluded with them?"

"We have heard that you prey on those with golden blood, aiming to cleanse the world of the filth brought by those cursed children."

Please uphold justice for us! That witch with golden blood has attacked the proud Eye of Dawn and Dusk, trampling upon its noble divine status. And the price for the fall of a god must be paid by us, the devout citizens of the sky!

' Canis ' sneered, 'I can smell your despair, Child of the Sky... The Purgers and mortals stand united, and we will assist you in eliminating that blasphemous half-blood.'

"But the ' Knight of Dawn's Thunder ' and her beasts are too powerful; no one can defeat them head-on. Therefore, we will teach you all the 'strategies' you can utilize..."

Phainon's expression was complex. "In their rebellion, those former followers resorted to any means necessary, even cooperating with the Purgers..."

"But I guess they didn't succeed, right?"

"Those assassins were ruthless, but not stupid. They never dared to lay a finger on Senios."

"They are not genuinely helping the oppressed. What they really want to 'cleanse' are the innocent Chrysos Heirs hidden among the Child of the Sky."

"But we only learned about all the conspiracies behind this later," Sorabis said.

Before the Journey of Flame-Chase began, the Chrysos Heirs fought a war for the "legitimacy" of the Prophecy, and many of Teacher Tribbie's incarnations were also caught in the crossfire.

"People at that time would have viewed golden blood as a curse... which is understandable."

Hyacine pondered, "But where is Senios...? What complex emotions did she feel as she witnessed all of this back then?"

"You'll find out soon, Miss Hyacine. Her unconditional forgiveness has been met with a cruel betrayal."

"Her profound love for the Son of Man was burned away... leaving only boundless rage."

Then, Hyacine manipulated the Celestial Globe, aimed at the location of " Eye of Dawn and Dusk " Aegle, and shot out a beam of light, modifying the celestial phenomena once again.

"That way, you'll have nowhere to hide... Titan."

This time, two strange beasts, Lunabis and Sorabis, also appeared.

"Those are... Lunabis and Lord Sorabis?"

"Yes, it must be fragments of their memories from a thousand years ago."

Phainon looked at Lunabis and Sorabis, wondering what they would think of this scene.

"Winged Beast Lady, what... what do you want to do?" The grief-stricken new believer retreated, "We are devout followers of Lady Senios... we will never betray her!"

"On the contrary, it's these scoundrels... they are the fools who betray heroes!"

The former believers pleaded desperately, "Please spare us! We were blinded by hatred, and that's how those men in black led us astray..."

"Please punish them, Winged Beast! Without these stubborn scum from the past, the Child of the Sky can truly unite around the Valkyrie!"

The Sorabis in my Remembrance spoke coldly, "The strong oppress the weak; faith becomes an excuse for persecution."

"The weak become the strong: the cycle of hatred is eternal." Lunabis said slowly from the Remembrance.

" Senios has delivered her verdict—"

"--The depravity of the Son of Man is an irreversible affliction," the two winged beasts said in unison.

"But she loved the world so passionately..." the former believer's voice trembled, "Has she... abandoned us?"

" Senios touched the Core Flame, and she gained the vision of the Titan."

She saw the Black Tide that the gods feared, rooted in darkness, growing from the edge of the world and devouring everything.

"It flees the pursuit of the dark clouds not out of favoritism towards the blazing sun, but simply out of fear of the boundless darkness."

"But the Son of Man misinterpreted the gods' intentions, turning them into sharp weapons of self-destruction..."

"... This history, born of sorrow and tragedy, will come to an end here."

The new believers piously clasped their hands together, chanting, "By the Valkyrie..."

"What kind of destiny did she weave for us...?"

Sorabis continued, "We will convey the message that the Senios ribbon carries to mortals—"

"My compatriots, whom I once loved deeply but was powerless to save—"

"Now, golden divine blood surges and boils within me, and even the tyrant of the sky bows before me. My light is fiercer than the sun, and the gloom that shrouded my thoughts has finally dissipated—"

"When I looked down upon this insignificant earth through the hundred eyes of God, I finally made up my mind. My heroic instincts drove me to proclaim the judgment of fate for you—"

"Your future flows between those scorching, golden pools beneath your feet—"

"Rejoice! For when the blood and bones of all men are fused with liquid gold—"

"You will eventually understand what true unity is," Sorabis and Lunabis declared.

Some longtime believers smiled calmly, "Ha... I had long anticipated this day."

"But this is not your fault, Senios. Your only mistake..."

"... that is, placing too many extravagant expectations on 'human beings'."

As the recollection ended, Hyacine sighed softly and looked at Sorabis and Lunabis:

" Lunabis, Sorabis, you..."

"Yes, we acted as Senios's executioners."

"On that day, countless Child of the Sky fell from the dome of the Eye of Dawn and Dusk, and were swallowed by golden lava."

They spent their entire lives praying to the sky, but their devotion failed to grant them wings to fight for their lives.

" Senios... is like a completely different person."

After reading the true history of Child of the Sky, Xing has only one thought at this moment.

Use a "mimicry baseball bat" to help her get out of this predicament as soon as possible.
