The Headless Giant
On a hillside outside Okhema, the sun blazed down, and Sera sat there with his legs dangling in the air. He thought it would be better if it were night.
In Okhema, people are cheering and celebrating another victory for Amphoreus.
"The power of wish."
Sera stretched out his right hand, and the Seed of Wishes appeared in his palm. It was not the power of the Dual-Phase Paradise's wishes, nor was it a product of Path. Its essence was formed under the influence of the Honkai after the "Miracle" entered his body.
Thinking about it carefully, it really has been guiding people to use the power of wishes all along the way, although these are not the same kind of power.
"Time and desire are not necessarily mutually exclusive."
Sera's right hand slowly pushed the Seed of Wishes into her body, and the Seed of Wishes transformed into light and re-integrated into her core.
"Perhaps my path to the future has already appeared."
The sunlight was warm and reassuring. Perhaps it was because of the "miracle"? In any case, after Phainon used the "miracle" to dispel the darkness, everyone in Amphoreus was touched by the light.
The remaining light gathered in the sky and shone down on Okhema.
"Little Sera, everyone's looking for you! Aren't you going to the banquet?"
Cyrene walked across the grass and sat down next to Sera.
"Me? I don't really like such lively scenes, Cyrene, you know that."
"Have you all arrived?"
Sera turned her head and glanced around, spotting Kafka and the others behind Cyrene.
"Are you leaving?"
Silver Wolf crossed his arms and blew a bubble.
"Um."
Sera nodded.
"Your mission in that section is complete; now it's Silver Wolf's turn."
"I know that, you and that catwoman used the power of ' Elation ' together inside and outside Amphoreus, right?"
"Yes, I need you and Cifera to rewrite the authority of ' Elation ' together, to unite the will of the people and once again trigger 'Miracle'."
"Everyone else, for your safety, go inside the Sirius and hide. I will place the Sirius in a separate dimension where it cannot be affected. Don't worry, the attack just won't hit you; you will remain where you are."
A door appeared before Sera, a door leading to the starry sky. He had just resynchronized Amphoreus ' time with the outside world.
Sera was the first to step through the door and return to the interior of the Sirius.
Where did the door come from?
"Corruption" space is a piece of cake, my friend!
"Oh! White Kitty, you're back so soon?"
Feiying was sitting on the sofa with snacks in her arms, blinking as she watched the group of people walk out of the suddenly appearing door.
"The time flow in Amphoreus has been adjusted, so of course it's fast."
Where are Herta and the others?
"Miss Herta said she went to the retrieval space station."
"...?"
Sera fell into deep thought. Was Asta the current stationmaster? No, wait, was Asta even an adult yet?
Oh, right.
Sera glanced at the Silver Wolf out of the corner of her eye.
In his timeline, many things were Taiyi. For example, Silver Wolf was actually older than him! This was something Sera found hard to accept.
You're back?
Herta walked side by side with Nguyen Mai, followed by a pink-skinned girl.
Asta, an 'ordinary' young lady, was perceived by Sera as somewhat cunning.
"Hmm, Herta, are you ready to fight Iron Tomb again?"
"Of course."
Herta answered without hesitation. It could be said that ever since she saw herself in such a sorry state on that line, she had been preparing for this ever since she returned.
"I think my mission should be over by then?"
Nguyen Mai looked out the window at the infinitely varied Amphoreus and began to speak.
"Well, I'll leave the matters concerning 'life' to you."
After speaking, Sera turned her gaze to Asta behind the two of them.
"Hello, Mr. Seraphis."
Asta wasn't nervous and greeted them calmly.
"I am Asta, the stationmaster of the ' Herta ' space station."
"Hello Asta. No need for formalities, just call me Sera."
Sera's approachable manner surprised Asta for a moment, because it was different from the live stream she had seen, where he judged his enemies like a god.
But her good upbringing made her quickly regain her composure and nod in response.
"Ah."
Sera seemed to have discovered something, and turned her gaze to Amphoreus in the starry sky, peering through its outer shell at the situation inside.
"Look, Amphoreus's final battle is about to begin."
Amphoreus will announce its existence to the galaxy with the fall of the Iron Tomb of the Lord Ravager.
In my witness, Amphoreus severed its "fate," and its future will Trailblaze by the Son of Man.
The sound, accompanied by power, resounded in everyone's ears and above Amphoreus.
Phainon solemnly held the "Worldbearing" Core Flame in both hands and, under the watchful eyes of all the Chrysos Heirs, walked step by step toward the spirit water basin.
"Let's throw down the Core Flame!"
They said.
"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...
"Release the source of that Black Tide from the Dawn Machine, and prepare for the final battle!"
The Core Flame of "Worldbearing" was then cast, illuminating the patterns of the twelve Titan, and the stars began to revolve.
Tribbie and the other two opened the Gate of Janus, and everyone stepped inside. The Flame-Chase Army was already fully prepared and ready to go.
A dark and oppressive atmosphere swirled around the colossal statue of Kephale, with Black Tide flowing from the Dawn Machine. Then, the scenery around them changed, and they stepped onto dark red cubes.
Cracks first appeared on the surface of the Dawn Machine, then it shattered completely, and Black Tide surged like a sea, climbing into the sky and outlining the shape of a headless giant in front of everyone.
The external scene has also changed; the infinite, symbolic Amphoreus, which was originally predominantly pink, is now slowly being swallowed up by dark red.
A pair of giant hands gripped a spear and pierced Amphoreus through the middle, revealing the Iron Tomb's figure before everyone's eyes.
Sera had already started the live stream the moment she uttered those words, leaving the difficult task of hosting to the eager Feiying.
"All beings of the Milky Way, look!"
This is the Lord Ravager, the Iron Tomb.
My hometown Amphoreus, is about to overcome its enemies.
Sera spread her six wings and flew effortlessly through the walls of the Sirius, soaring into the starry sky.
In the starry sky, the headless giant silently carries out his mission.
Not far away, a faint figure appeared before everyone's eyes and also in the live broadcast room.
[Nous?!]
[Mom, I saw Nous! I'm a genius!]
[Silly child, Mom saw it too. I think you need to get your head checked.]
The Nous remained silent, allowing the Iron Tomb to connect to a portion of His authority.
(PS: Starting today, updates will be sporadic. If I keep staying up late, you might not see me again. You don't want to run out of novels to read, right? So I don't know how many chapters I'll update each day from now on.)
