After learning about everything she went through... I only feel regret... but I can't condemn her choice.
"If this is the true face of history, then the merging of Senios and Aegle... wasn't it also to save the world from natural disasters?" Hyacine asked.
"After touching the Core Flame, Senios not only understood the Titan ' fear, but also saw their indifference."
Lunabis explained, " Aegle never craved the faith of mortals; the establishment of the Sky Civilization was merely the result of the Son of Man acting on his own initiative."
" The Celestial Globe, which was given to the Child of the Sky by the Titan in mythology, was actually an invention of mortals."
"Completely disillusioned with humanity, Senios began to yearn for the indifference of divinity. She sent me and Lunabis to the earth to seek the forbidden art that was rumored to be able to merge the souls of humans and Titan."
Phainon stood there, stunned. " Teacher Anaxa's alchemy... it actually had such an effect a thousand years ago?"
" Senios, who handed down the death sentence to the Child of the Sky, Senios, who abandoned her humanity—"
Hyacine couldn't understand, "If this is the path she chose, then whose long-cherished wish are we, her ancestors and I, truly upholding?!"
"The last fragment of history lies ahead. Go and pick it up, Miss Hyacine."
"Like Senios back then, you too must take this step."
Hyacine walked to the last fragment of memory, and Xing came to her side.
" Senios, who abandoned her humanity, and my ancestors in the Duskglow Courtyard, are we truly the descendants of her?"
Hyacine asked herself this question, but she didn't fall into the classic scene of self-doubt.
"The truth will soon be revealed. In any case... I will not shirk my mission."
" Little Gray, will you stand by my side?"
Xing nodded. "Let's face history head-on, and then challenge the gods! We've always been here!"
The final " Remembrance " is revealed: an unnamed Child of the Sky kneels before Senios, who has now become a "fusion god" in the heavens, and speaks:
"Great Senios, I beg you to spare this lowly life!"
"I have never hurt anyone... The punishment you imposed out of anger is far too harsh on an innocent person like me!"
The Sorabis Remembrance stood beside her, "The time has come, mortal—"
"--You should embrace your destiny."
"Wait! Valkyrie... please allow me to speak with her!"
"Look, do you see that? Golden blood is seeping from my wounds! Yes, I am also a Chrysos Heirs... I, along with Lady Senios, am one of those chosen by the Prophecy!"
In her Remembrance Lunabis asked Senios for her opinion, " Senios, what do you intend to do with your fellow citizens?"
"You are no different from others..." Senios, the "Goddess of Fusion," commented.
"You were once a Children of the Scorching Sun. When your people, taking advantage of the Titan ' favoritism, used every means to oppress other races... did you ever stand up for the weak?"
"I... no," the nameless Chrysos Heirs said.
"After Aegle's fall, you changed your faith and worshipped me as your new god."
Senios pressed on, "When your colleagues turned their blades on the old believers who refused to convert... did you ever lend them a helping hand?"
"I... no." The nameless Chrysos Heirs gave the same answer as always.
"When the Creation Prophecy reached the ears of all living beings, it guided the Chrysos Heirs to become heroes of this shattered world..."
Have you ever overcome your inner weakness and answered its urgent call?
"I... failed."
Senios scoffed, "See, Chrysos Heirs... you're no different from those despicable people."
"My judgment is just; only molten gold can Purification your original sin..."
Ignoring the two winged beasts' attempts to stop him, the nameless Chrysos Heirs cried out, "... Wait, Lady Senios —please allow me to defend my cowardice a few more times!"
"Your divinity does indeed make mortals appear incredibly ugly... but the Son of Man has walked this earth for countless millennia, experiencing all the hardships of life and witnessing all the shameful flaws..."
Even so, we built magnificent city-states and a flourishing civilization! Even when we were often mired in the mire of malice, we still struggled to crawl forward...
"Because aside those filthy vices, resilience as a Wind People is also a virtue of our collective!" the nameless Chrysos Heirs said firmly.
"Even if it costs me everything I have and everything I don't yet have... I must kneel before you and beg for mercy, to fight for a sliver of hope... and to prove to you that mortals have the power to redeem themselves!"
Sorabis shook his head. "To admit your cowardice so righteously... it seems you have completely abandoned your dignity."
"..." Senios paused for a moment, "You said you were willing to mortgage 'everything you don't yet possess'..."
"Tell me... let me hear what kind of incredible bet that is."
"It's simple, Lady Senios..." The nameless Chrysos Heirs stepped forward, "If you spare my life, I will ensure that my descendants sing your epic tales for generations to come, until the end of time buries all civilizations and legends."
"If there's even a one in ten thousand chance that the World-Saving Prophecy that has reached our ears will come true..."
"Then my descendants will one day return here to prove to you that even the most inferior and crippled mortals in your eyes possess the power to shoulder the world's burdens!"
"Heh... interesting. Let her go, Sorabis, Lunabis."
"From this moment forward, she and her descendants will bear both the blessings of the heavens and the curse of their lineage. No matter how long it takes, I will await the arrival of that destined one..."
"Then I will properly mock the Son of Man's fate of being betrayed by his ancestors."
Thus, the true nature of the legend was finally revealed.
" Hyacinthia..." Phainon looked at Hyacine.
Hyacine also realized her true identity, "I am... a descendant of that nameless Chrysos Heirs?"
"Our bloodline is not inherited from a hero... but from an unknown Chrysos Heirs who begged for mercy before her."
To say that Hyacine's feelings weren't complicated would be a lie.
"My humble lives, and those of my ancestors... all hang on to Senios's whim..."
"Perhaps a sliver of compassion remains in her heart," Xing comforted her.
"She abandoned mortals and embraced divinity... She believed that the Son of Man was not worthy of salvation."
" Sorabis, Lunabis— "
Hyacine confirmed, "Please tell me, you've guarded the Eye of Dawn and Dusk for a thousand years, just to witness that descendant of the Chrysos Heirs return here to be punished?"
"... Years changes many things, child."
"Once, before we Guild to read the complexities of human nature, Senios's gaze was our only window into understanding the Son of Man."
"Her words are everything: our guidance, comfort, command, and admonition."
"It wasn't until she fell silent that we Guild to understand humanity through our senses."
