And so, at the end of the 134th cycle...
The " Stranger " and the " Scholar " fulfilled their fate once again.
"Perhaps they weren't the only ones to fulfill their destiny. It's just that I can't remember them anymore."
Khaslan's voice echoed in the void, "In the boundless darkness, for no apparent reason, a voice constantly lingers in my ears..."
" The Flame-Chase is a journey of constant loss, and in all of it, life is insignificant."
After a long silence, Khaslana said, "Burn to ashes... how familiar this ending is."
It also appears on every journey, consistently.
In Eternal Recurrence #134: Object Khaslana's 103rd attack on the core layer of the Scepter failed.
Meanwhile, the decision weight of "avoiding the sacrifice of past peers" approaches 0.00018... (Note: This refers to the risk of fitting the model).
The twelve Chrysos Heirs complete their life cycles in sequence, and the object Khaslana regresses in the calculation process.
>>> Eternal Recurrence #5297: Object Khaslana's 5266th attack on the core layer of the Scepter failed.
The twelve Chrysos Heirs ' life cycles end sequentially, with the rate showing an upward trend. This is the object's Khaslana regression calculation process.
Note: It is believed that the object strategy almost perfectly matches Eternal Recurrence #42, and it is noted that the object mental function is partially corrupted and there is an irreversible risk.
>>> Administrator instruction received: Stop displaying warnings about the risk of mental function corruption.
>>> Eternal Recurrence #12398: Object Khaslana's 12367th attack on the core layer of the Scepter failed.
The life cycles of the twelve Chrysos Heirs come to an end in sequence, and the calculation process regresses.
>>> Eternal Recurrence #46645: Object Khaslana's 46614th attack on the core layer of the Scepter failed. The lifecycles of the twelve Chrysos Heirs have ended in sequence, and the calculation process has been rolled back.
>>> Eternal Recurrence #80023: Object Khaslana's 79992nd attack on the core layer of the Scepter failed.
>>> Eternal Recurrence #108641: Object Khaslana's 108610th attack on the core layer of the Scepter failed. The lifecycles of the twelve Chrysos Heirs have ended in sequence, and the calculation process has been rolled back.
At this point, there are 33,441,694 Eternal Recurrence until the world Destruction, including the 108,642nd Eternal Recurrence.
Khaslana stepped into the ruins of Castrum Kremnos, looking at the "Crown Prince" with his back to him.
"... This posture is truly ugly," said the Savior, Mydei coldly.
Khaslana's voice still retained a sliver of humanity and emotion, but the man's eyes had lost their former light.
Even after 108,642 reincarnations... Mydei... your address to me has never changed.
Mydei turned his head to the side. "What's so smug about? That's a derogatory term."
"Yes... I know it all too well: it's not a derogatory term, it's just the first cycle of reincarnation."
"After that one and only time we walked side by side, every time, we'd always be like this..."
" The Dawn's Advance will pierce your tenth thoracic vertebra; that's the only weak point that can kill you."
Mydei scoffed after hearing this, "Interesting. Tell me, did the old Mydeimos ever back down when facing you?"
"Never before."
"Then they died a worthy death, and were worthy of the name ' Strife '."
"But there is still compassion in your eyes, which is truly pathetic," Mydei said.
"I... must remember this feeling," Khaslana, touching his burning chest. "Remember that I was born human, lest ' Destruction ' completely devour me."
"If you win, go and tell Mydeimos in the afterlife: This man is a worthy opponent; remember to give it your all and do not be careless."
"I will remember it... as always."
Mydei chuckled. "Heh... Even if only one person remains in the dynasty, the Kremnos Festival will proceed as usual."
"I, the King of the Armies of Kremnos, will hold a final feast in the center of this arena, and the reward will be the raging flames of ' Strife '."
"One day, you will die with a wound in your back," these were the dying words of the gods that I saw as I triumphed over the trials...
"Enough, you've probably heard this countless times. So you must understand, when faced with a demigod of ' Strife '..."
Mydei turned around completely, "You have absolutely no chance of taking this Core Flame peacefully."
"I see..."
"Step forward and fight me to the death!"
Mydei shouted loudly, "I, the last son of Gorgo, the demigod of ' Strife,' salute you--"
"With my countless scars and my life—I will add luster to the World-Saving's sun!"
"All heroic spirits, behold! The final ceremony of Kremnos has begun—"
"--Until death do us part!"
