Son of Man
"... The power of Oronyx?"
You are the ones who possess the power to perform miracles; I have no right to stop you from revisiting that past.
When Sorabis said this, everyone knew it was an admission of guilt.
If a legend contains falsehoods, then there must be a reason behind the lie that must be embellished.
What exactly happened to the Child of the Sky after Senios challenged the gods?
"For the souls of my ancestors to find true peace, I need to uncover the original truth of the legend."
As Hyacine spoke, she tossed the feather in her hand into the air, and the power of "time" or "Remembrance" brought back past scenes.
"Everyone, please join me in witnessing history!"
Meanwhile... where Cyrene and Firefly once lingered.
"Hehe♪~ I found you!"
Cyrene put her hands on her hips and looked smugly at Sera sitting on the grass of the Aedes Elysiae Pavilion.
I knew you'd stay here.
At this moment, the image of Phainon and his group was reflected in front of Sera.
"We came to find you... Is that alright?"
Firefly's tone was soft and weak, with a cautious inquiry.
"Yes, Cyrene is great."
First, she touched Cyrene's little head with her left hand, then she took Firefly's hand with her right hand. Sera's movements were natural throughout, and her eyes were smiling without much emotion.
"Of course, if you want to find me, just call out to the air. You don't need to come all this way to find me."
"Not far, not far at all, it'll be quick. Finding Sera won't be difficult at all!"
Firefly quickly waved her empty right hand, while Cyrene had already calmly sat down on the grass to Sera's left.
The three of them turned their gazes to Phainon and his group on the screen.
He has grown up.
Sera sighed softly, Cyrene beside her nodded.
"Yes, he truly deserves to be called the ' Savior ' in the oracle!"
So, has Mr. Blank finished writing his script?
"Script?"
Sera spread her hands.
"There is no script."
"The future of Amphoreus must be written by all of us in Amphoreus!"
"That--my dear Little Sera ~"
You're also from Amphoreus...
Where are you located?
"I?
I'm the main character in this story!
The final villain is naturally considered a protagonist—they carry significant weight, appearing throughout the story from beginning to end. How can that not be considered a protagonist in another form?
This story was started by Sera, and naturally, it should also end with Sera.
"I am not a god—I am merely a mortal within this cage, the only one with the courage to defy the warden."
Senios's voice came through the screen to the three of them.
Prisoners and puppets.
Mortals and Titan.
Knights and Queens.
The Firefly is like a prisoner kept in the dark, only to learn the truth at the last minute, while Queen Glamoth is a puppet manipulated by the council.
Rebellion and self-discovery are the choices that Firefly makes.
Both Senios and the entire story of Amphoreus are present in the story.
The pursuit of fire is a tragic epic of mortals who have lost everything and rebel against it. The Chrysos Heirs who chase the Core Flame are like moths drawn to the flame, or Icarus chasing the sun.
But it doesn't matter. This time, Sera will not let Icarus fall again. She will let Icarus touch that unreachable boundary—a perfect ending.
Sera is arrogant; she wants to save everyone in Amphoreus. Phainon is also arrogant, just like Sera... wanting to save everyone.
Arrogance stems from having never lost anything.
On the screen, Hyacine's gaze was firm as she made her final preparations, tossing the feather into the air once more.
"My compatriots, whom I once loved deeply but was powerless to save—"
The phantoms of Sorabis and Lunabris' past pronouncements on people's fates.
"Your future flows between the scorching, golden pools beneath your feet."
Rejoice! For when the blood and flesh of all people become one with the liquid gold—
You will eventually understand what true unity is.
After watching everything...
"So this is the truth behind the legend. My ancestor was not Senios... but an unnamed Chrysos Heirs who begged for mercy before her."
After receiving replies from Sorabis and Lunabris, Hyacine raised a gentle yet strong smile, her eyes fixed on the pupil in the sky.
"Lady Senios! Whether you can hear me now or not, I want to tell you what's on my mind."
I want you to know: I am so fortunate! Fortunate to be the descendant of an unknown person.
That is why I can prove to you that the tenacious hope at the core of humanity will not be extinguished by time... It is just waiting to be healed and nurtured until it shines again.
Even the most timid and insignificant person harbors a seed within their heart. Perhaps in your time, the light on the horizon is too dim, preventing the seed from sprouting...
But do you see? Now, a thousand years later—on the path you paved, there are many Gilgamesh heroes—
They loved the world unconditionally, willingly sacrificing themselves to shine as sons of humanity.
The light they left behind shines upon the children of humanity, causing the seeds in their hearts to sprout, grow new leaves, and nourish them as they thrive.
Until a forest grows from the withered earth, it will thrive and one day... be able to reach the sky again.
That "dim light," capable of healing and protecting even in the face of the apocalypse... is the reason we choose to bear the burden of imperfect humanity!
Hyacine's voice rose in pitch.
"Lady Senios, descendant of the nameless Chrysos Heirs —I, the Fire-Chasing Chrysos Heirs, Son of Man— Hyacinthia, have kept my promise and returned here, bringing you the answer—"
Even in the darkest apocalypse, the sun shines brightly; humanity deserves to be saved; we will eventually create a new dawn!
The Son of Man on Earth has returned; we will challenge the heavens once more.
If the setting weren't so inappropriate, Anaxa felt he would have already burst out laughing. As expected of his student, well said!
"Please, Lord Sorabis, Lunabris."
Hyacine looked around at the dim sky.
"But this time, I will not be suppressed by the dark side of human nature."
Face us, face the Son of Man, embodiment of the heavens!
Chains appeared in the sky, pulling Mydei and Phainon down together. But unexpectedly, what was pulled down was a pitch-black, egg-shaped mist, with purple light flashing inside.
"Really...
(Herrscher of the Void, Titan of the Sky, Aegle (Senios)
The Black Tide completely engulfed Aegle's body, and the Honkai Energy slightly modified it, eventually revealing the figure they were seeing now.
Why... wasn't the Black Tide Honkai by the Honkai?
Anaxa.
I don't know, who did it? It's so hard to guess!
Sera was still watching.
(PS: Please give me a five-star review again.)
By the way, I had another inspiration while writing this, and you'll find out about the future Finality Line~
I didn't update yesterday because I was slacking off. I was disgusted that I didn't get the full attendance bonus last month, and I won't get it this month either, because of the 150,000-word requirement.
