The Demigod of Reason

The warm campfire illuminated the peaceful sleeping face of Castorice on the blanket beside her, her joyful expression clearly reflected in Sera's eyes. Castorice's right hand was still tightly holding Sera's left hand, never letting go even in her deep sleep.

I am no longer afraid of the night, for a ray of moonlight shines upon me.

I've experienced warmth briefly, but that fleeting warmth makes me want to hold on to it tightly now; I don't want to... lose anything more.

The empty right hand activates its power; of course, it can be done without using the hand, but some ritual is still necessary.

The halo merged into Castorice's body; this was Sera's blessing, wishing her sweet dreams tonight.

Although she didn't know what Castorice had dreamt about that made her smile so radiant, her tense mind and body finally calmed down. Life should have been like this from the beginning, but because of the curse, she was only able to have things that ordinary people could reach until today.

There are too many unpleasant things in the world, and Sera cannot rewrite them all. Kiana, the Herrscher of Finality, is not omnipotent, let alone the fact that he is only a minor Corruption now.

After everything was prepared, Sera pulled up a map of Amphoreus, and after a short walk, Amphoreus was completely under Sera's control.

The timeline of Amphoreus had returned to normal after Sera and her group entered, so there was no need to worry about the outside world.

Twelve Core Flame, along with Reason, time, Strife, Worldbearing, the sky, and death—none have been returned.

The Reason Core Flame had already been passed on to Anaxa when Sera left, and as expected, Cyrene, who brought back the message, had already informed Anaxa plan.

Time and the Worldbearing, Oronyx will give the Core Flame of the Cyrene, Worldbearing will have Cerydra to restore the Senate.

Strife need to be quelled, Cyrene is an indispensable part of them.

The sky was the last thing Sera arranged for the Chrysos Heirs when she set up her plan.

Death is simple; Sera sends a message to Cyrene explaining the situation, and he will personally lead Castorice there.

Styxia, the ancient city of dragon bones, is the destiny of the Castorice, a place one must visit to return to wholeness.

Sera felt that alchemy and such were unnecessary. Equivalent exchange existed based on Law, and was the rule of Amphoreus.

When Sera took Cerydra and Hysilens away, she naturally analyzed the demigod's data.

Hmm... just as expected.

The system detected that Core Flame had been dropped into the Creation's Vortex, and a demigod had already completed the trial— that Anaxa.

Rewinding to a short time ago, Xi Lian relayed the message to Na Ke Xia... Na Ke Xia took out the spark of reason and broke the seal left on it. The Titan of Reason, Serhis, then appeared before Na Ke Xia, Feng Jin, and Xi Lian.

Yes, Hyacine is here too; after all, she's the future demigod of the sky.

"Sons of man~"

Cerces was confused for a moment. From her perspective, her senses were suddenly blocked. After being locked in a dark room for a while, she opened her eyes and saw three people in front of her.

One of them was a blasphemer she had observed, and also the one she believed was most likely to take up the Reason Core Flame.

"Can any of you explain to me what's going on?"

"..." At that Anaxa crossed her arms and glanced at Cerces expressionlessly without saying a word. Hyacine had no choice but to step forward and explain the situation.

"I understand."

Cerces nodded, his gaze lingering on Cyrene for a moment before turning to Anaxa.

"Son of man, will you take the Core Flame of Reason?"

"Of course, speak up—the test of Reason."

Hehehe~

Cerces smiled.

"Then answer one question for me, you blasphemous son."

In your opinion: what exactly are humans and gods?

"Ha ha ha ha--"

At that Anaxa burst into laughter upon hearing this, speaking slowly amidst Cerces's expression that seemed to say, "Has this child been driven mad by the question?"

"If it were before, perhaps I would still need to ask. But someone has already presented the answer to me."

The answer is simple: You were once the Son of Man, and now you are Titan.

My present is your past, and your present is my future.

The essence of Amphoreus is a cycle of reincarnation.

And what we need to do now is...

At that Anaxa raised her head and looked up at the sky, her eyes seeming to see the starry sky beyond the layers of blockade.

"It is to transcend reincarnation, to prove to us, to prove that Amphoreus still has a future!"

"I understand."

Cerces did not question it; she only sighed with emotion.

"You may take this Core Flame."

"Let's go to the Creation's Vortex."

Cyrene walked to the spirit water basin to the side, her consciousness completing its descent. In the Creation's Vortex, she saw the several Chrysos Heirs and Firefly already waiting.

Firefly was sent by Cyrene to deliver a message to Okhema so they could prepare for the ceremony. With Kafka around, there was no problem of not being able to see anyone.

"Ms. Aglaea, you've come too."

Hyacine greeted her.

"Yes, A-Miyabi has had a lot of free time since Little Caesar came back; she can't stay idle..."

"My teacher," Aglaea called out to Tribbie, interrupting her.

"Let's add the Core Flame and complete the ceremony."

Ti Ning stood before the basin of spiritual water at the Creation's Vortex.

At that Anaxa didn't even glance at Aglaea standing to the side, only nodding slightly as she passed Tribbie.

"The majestic twelve Titan, the pillars supporting the world—"

We seek divinity here to mend the cracks in the world.

To infuse the flesh with golden blood, to willingly wither and dry up for divine decree—

Now, offer up the Core Flame... let it etch stars into the sky!

At that Anaxa, guided by Ti Ning, completed the final ritual.

The Reason pattern was lit up in the sky from the Creation's Vortex, with seven of the twelve Core Flame igniting it.

Without a moment's hesitation, Anaxa became Reason demigod after casting the Core Flame. But he didn't care, after all, he was already the Herrscher of Reason. Reason demigod could do, the Herrscher of Reason could do even better, and what a rational demigod couldn't do, the Herrscher of Reason could also do.

Beep beep.

Cyrene's phone beeped with a notification for a special message. She opened her phone and checked it with Firefly.

[Feather of the Eclipsed Moon]: The Reason Core Flame has been cast, right? You don't need to go to Death, I'll take care of it on the way.

[Feather of the Eclipsed Moon]: Go to Oronyx to retrieve the Core Flame of Time, and then vanquish the Strife.

[Feather of the Eclipsed Moon]: By the way, have Brother Blade teach Phainon swordsmanship and forge him a sword. Here are the blueprints.

[Feather of the Eclipsed Moon]: (Dawn's Early Light Design Drawing. jpg)

[Ripples of the Past]: Received~

"Is it his message?"

Anaxa immediately asked the question, and in the empty Creation's Vortex, the message notification had already attracted everyone's attention.

"It's news from Little Sera."

"But what's going on?"

"Little Sera said he'd take care of the Core Flame of Death on his way."
