The Supreme, Most Radiant Embodiment of the Sky!
The black mist dissipated, and the aura of supreme yang emerged from its cocoon. Huge wings dispelled the gloom, and thus—the supreme, the supreme yang, the embodiment of the sky! Aegle, who had been Corruption the Black Tide and become the vessel of the Herrscher of the Void in Amphoreus, fully revealed his form.
An unknown thread seemed to be manipulating this Titan of the sky, flashing Anaxa's eyes. Anaxagoras was certain he wasn't mistaken, so the answer was obvious: Seraphis, who had cast down his power, was personally controlling the Herrscher of the Void, waiting for them to seize Aegle's Core Flame.
Herrscher of the Void, Aegle (Seraphis Control Version), takes her first step after hatching by spreading her wings, which burn like blazing flames, and the ring on her back is ignited like a blazing sun.
The temperature of the heat flow gradually rose around everyone, and Mydei's expression changed.
Even now, with his imposing aura, Aegle, who has already become a demigod, feels so oppressive. The pressure that Phainon and Hyacine, who are yet to become gods, must be enduring is truly staggering...
With this thought in mind, Mydei clenched his fist—a blood-red crystal instantly enveloped everyone, briefly isolating them from the heatwave.
"We must extinguish Aegle's flames quickly; I can't hold on much longer."
As Mydei spoke, he clenched his fist and swung it toward the Titan in the sky, his fist formed from blood-red crystals.
But... the space changed in the blink of an eye. Mydei was in mid-air, widened his eyes and groaned. He was really not having an easy time taking the hit.
"Little Little Mydei!"
"Fine."
Mydei, who had been slammed to the ground by his own fist, propped himself up and wiped the blood that had condensed into blood crystals from the corner of his mouth.
He didn't use his full strength in that attack; it was just a slight probe.
"Even as a vessel, it's so difficult to manage."
At that Anaxa still had a furrowed brow. Even with his enhancement, the power of Passage was not enough to resist true space. So, what other conditions could he utilize?
At that Anaxa's gaze fell upon Hyacine, and he already had his answer in his heart.
"Hyacine, how many more times can the feathers be used?"
Like the others, Hyacine was dealing with rocks falling from the sky. She took out a feather, and Little Ica spun rapidly, smashing the rocks that were hitting Hyacine.
"Once."
Hyacine gripped the feather tightly; she understood Anaxa.
They only have one chance, which can only be used for a decisive blow. But the most serious problem is that they don't know how much health Aegle has, nor whether their strongest attack can kill Aegle.
Sera couldn't possibly be setting them up in a death trap. At that Anaxa had already set up a protective barrier around him, and he walked slowly and steadily amidst the blood crystals, arms crossed.
What factor was missing that he hadn't considered?
Trianne opened the Gate of Janus in the sky, holding it in place with both hands, but the meteorites that Aegle brought down seemed Endlessness.
Aegle gave them no time to react. It flew high into the sky, where thunder and storms were swirling above them, and lightning was poised to strike from the dark clouds.
Phainon wielded the Dawn's Early Light sword and shattered the meteorite. The fragments of the meteorite tore through the sun's mark on his neck. Hot, golden blood flowed from the wound, igniting the sun's mark.
Just as she was pondering Anaxa Jinghong caught a glimpse of this scene. She was stunned at first, then, as if she had thought of something, she covered her face and burst into laughter.
Hahaha... Hahahaha!
Phainon, you did a great job!
The vessel... When he mentioned that Aegle became the vessel of the Herrscher of the Void... why didn't he think of that?
As the most perfect Chrysos Heirs, and a future demigod destined to "Worldbearing," he naturally possesses the potential to shoulder everything!
He finally figured out a way to break the deadlock!
At that Anaxa strode towards Phainon. Under Phainon's puzzled yet trusting gaze, he imbued Phainon with the power of "Reason." Miraculously, the power that was originally intended as a single strike was amplified within Phainon, exceeding its original intensity.
"Just as I thought!"
Quickly, combine your power with mine and bless Phainon!
Without the slightest hesitation, Mydei waved his hand and briefly created a blood crystal as protection, then stretched out his hand—the power of "Strife" began to strengthen Phainon's body.
Trianne reached out her hand, closed her eyes, and slowly guided the power of the "Passage" towards Phainon.
Anaxa was the first to bless Bai E, and he was closing his eyes to help Phainon guide the power within his body to merge.
What Hyacine had to do was extremely simple: just push the feather, which possessed the power of "time" (Remembrance), toward Phainon. The moment the feather touched Phainon, it naturally merged into Phainon's body.
Soon, the powers merged perfectly.
But that wasn't all. At that Anaxa continued to unleash the power of the Herrscher of Reason. When Sera Finalization, he had already discovered that he could mimic the powers of various demigods for a fleeting moment—something the Chrysos Heirs could only achieve. Combined with his research on the Core Flame, this allowed him to do it!
The powers of all the Core Flame, whether real or illusory, were bestowed upon Phainon.
Phainon also closed his eyes, sensing a power different from before.
His body began to transform, and the color of the blazing sun stained his white hair.
His golden eyes were like the blazing sun, yet they looked at the crowd with pity.
Golden wings, like those of a blazing sun, unfolded from behind.
No wonder they were once thought to be siblings... no, brothers, they have something in common after transforming. It's just that Sera has six jet-black wings, while Phainon only has two.
"Savior."
"Phainon."
"Phainon."
"Little Little Bai."
"Fly with us through the sky!" x4
"So..."
Phainon's bright and dazzling golden eyes gazed at the sky, and "time" —Amphoreus's time—quietly froze Aegle's body.
"Let's go, guys!"
Phainon did not defeat Aegle alone, but instead joined the others in launching an attack.
The sharp blades of Dawn's Early Light, along with the attacks of their Chrysos Heirs companions, sliced down Aegle from the sky.
The Core Flame of "Sky" fell from the heavens into Hyacine's hands.
"The Core Flame of the sky... come with me."
Looking at Aegle, who was already submerged in the golden pool below, with a somewhat complicated expression, Hyacine reached out and let the Core Flame merge into her body.
"It's... a wonderful feeling. It's warm, and... powerful."
Holding it in my palm, I feel as if the winds of the world will turn for me... Summoning thunderclouds or rain and snow is just a thought away.
Let's go, everyone.
Anaxa remained motionless, her brows furrowed. Something was still missing from the test; the part of Aegle that had been Corruption by the Black Tide had not yet appeared.
Just as he expected, the platform began to shake violently, shadows covered the sky, and Aegle, his body stained with black, appeared before them.
Its claws gripped the platform, and the bright white light of the Phainon illuminated the area, particularly dazzling in Aegle's eyes.
