Possibility
"Under the watchful eye of the cocoon, Amphoreus's 'fate' will become chains binding you."
Kiana made a fist with her left hand and wrapped her right hand over it, as if in prayer.
"But for the characters in the story to break free from their fate, often... a little miracle is needed."
You should know that.
Sera's lips curled up slightly.
"I'm ready... for a miracle."
Let's rewind to Amphoreus.
"I can't put in too much water."
Sera chuckled softly, letting her mind and body relax.
The chains of "fate" were wrapped around the base of Sera's six jet-black wings, but they had no effect on Sera movements whatsoever, as if the chains were as light as a feather.
The spear appeared out of thin air in her hand. Although Sera had a smile on her face, everyone could feel the growing pressure, and their expressions tightened.
"And -- the most crucial point."
You are not trying to defeat me.
It is the fate that binds me.
A little tip~
"Fate" needs a little "miracle" to have any hope of being broken.
Anaxa remained motionless, lost in thought. Although he understood Sera's intention, he didn't know how to use it, so his efforts were in vain.
But it doesn't matter, truth isn't something you wait for; Anaxagoras was quite adept at finding truth.
"3, 2, 1..."
Sera threw her spear the instant the countdown ended, and the Chrysos Heirs reacted swiftly.
Aglaea's hands gripped the golden thread tightly, and although the golden thread slowed the spear down slightly, it remained unstoppable. The golden thread was nearly broken, only not completely broken because it was long enough.
I hereby decree... divine retribution upon you!
The Mydei formed from blood crystals shattered the moment it touched the tip of the spear.
Tribbie, Trianne, Ti Ning joined forces to open the Gate of Janus in front of the spear.
The moment the spear tip touched the Gate of Janus, the space itself shattered, yet remained completely undisturbed.
Everyone's hearts sank at the attack that shattered space. Cipher gritted her teeth and rushed forward.
At a secret time, Sera found her.
"Um?"
Cipher crossed her arms, looking puzzled.
"Little angel, what do you want from me?"
"No... wait a minute."
Sera covered her cheek with her right hand, looking both amused and exasperated.
"Miss Cifera, where did you hear that title from?"
"I ran into a wolf cub while I was out, and I felt a sense of kinship with her, so I played games with her for a while."
There was a photo of us on the cover of her slate, and she recognized you immediately. So she asked her about you.
"Alright. Perfect, what I'm about to tell you is also somewhat related to her."
You should now understand the truth that Anaxa, right?
The power she possesses is the Path simulated by her Trickery— "Elation," and she is the best at it.
Amphoreus needs uncertainty, and "Elation" possesses precisely that ability. To defy fate, one must drag fate into chaos.
"You mean..."
"That's right, I'm going to upgrade you."
Sera placed her right hand on her hip, while a ball of energy slowly appeared in her left hand.
This is both a 'seed' and a key. How far you can go depends on yourself.
Where did the 'seed' of Elation come from? Of course, Sera asked Xuzhao for it. Knowing who Sera was asking for the 'seed,' Xuzhao gave it to her without hesitation.
"According to you, ' Elation ' is the Trickery a scheme hidden in the heavens."
Cipher proudly raised her head, confident in the power similar to Trickery. After all, she was the demigod of Trickery who had deceived the world!
"Then I'm confident I can go far on the path of ' Elation,' for cats are incredibly fast."
Cipher took the seed and was pondering how to use it when the 'seed' transformed into specks of light and merged into her body.
The scene before her eyes flashed by like lines, followed by a feeling as if Cipher were falling into the deep sea. The cat disliked this suffocating, drowning-like sensation, even without the discomfort of being soaked.
Then came the starry sky. Cipher knew this must be the narrow passage of Path that Sera had mentioned. She saw a path. Her intuition told her to step on it and run!
And so, the quick-footed Cifera began her run.
She had run an unknown distance, and only a few masked figures remained ahead. But at this moment, Cifera could no longer take another step forward.
The figure at the front turned to look at her, but she ignored it, because she sensed the gaze behind her. The person who looked exactly like the one at the front was now watching her from both in front and behind, and space itself seemed to lose its meaning before him.
Cifera understood; this was Titan from beyond the heavens, or rather... Aeon.
When she came to her senses, she felt the power within her body. Although it wasn't strong, it seemed... she could do the impossible.
Now is the time to make the impossible possible!
Cifera reached out and forcibly altered the possibilities, making it impossible for the spear to appear here at this moment. Sera used Honkai Energy, so Cipher certainly couldn't do that, but what he was using now was only the power of Amphoreus ' "Fate" itself.
The cause and effect were misinterpreted, and the spear was stuck in mid-air, unable to move forward or backward. Sera looked at Cipher with admiration.
However, her hands didn't stop moving at all. The chain wrapped around the end of the spear materialized, and Sera gave it a gentle tug—the illusory form might not be able to stop him, and the spear was instantly pulled back into Sera's hand.
"Well done, Miss Cifera. But merely covering 'fate' with false possibilities is nothing but a bubble that bursts at the slightest touch."
Miracles are not fake.
"Fate" tossed the spears into the air... one, two, three, countless spears appeared in mid-air. The Flame-Chase Army, battling another "self," couldn't help but feel a pang of despair. Were they about to lose?
No.
In Anaxagoras's mind, the last piece of the puzzle had been perfectly completed.
The other self that the Chrysos Heirs defeated dissipated and turned into specks of light. A few special specks would blend into the light without anyone noticing. If he hadn't been specifically observing, he wouldn't have noticed them.
Anaxa that the light must have a purpose; in his personal opinion, that light should be called "the power of will".
Now, despair, possibility, and willpower are all present. Only one condition remains for a "miracle"—the belief of everyone in Amphoreus.
Time was of the essence, Anaxa didn't have time to explain. She quickly walked up to Tribbie and the other two.
"Tribios, I need your help."
