An exasperated sigh ca from Seele’s mouth. She wanted to hit Veliona’s head, but thinking of the other pair of twins watching them, she refrained from doing so.
“You must have heard of Sh…rlin.” Seele swiftly corrected herself. “We are his…”
“Wives.”
The sister duo inadvertently looked at the silver circlet on their wrists before freezing.
‘I rember the Imperator holding him in high regard… and their common friend, the Dux Gladiorum, too…’
Castorice shook these thoughts off. Her sister, however, wasn’t as mature. She was startled the mont she heard the ntion of 'wives', thinking of the noble n who married a dozen wives during their lifeti.
“He has… two wives?”
“Two? There are already six. There are still a lot of won vying to be the sa.”
Veliona’s rather helpless smirk stunned the Death Demigod sisters speechless.
“Mhm. We are not here to talk about it…” Seele boldly intervened. “Nihility’s influence, leave it to us. The world outside of this realm is far too chaotic. We believe your friends need your assistance more. To reassure you…”
A soft golden glow was emitted from Seele’s hands. It was partly the power of Equilibrium mimicking the Death Titan’s authority, but a part of it is unknown to them—the Dao of Samsara brought by immortal cultivation.
Just like Shi Tian, the others also majored in their ‘Daos’. Seele and Veliona first took the Dao of Netherworld. A sudden change ca at so point. Their similar souls and the astoundingly deep connection pushed the Dao of Netherworld into the Dao of Samsara.
In immortal cultivation, there are no inherently superior Daos. As it evolved, however, the ‘Daos’ with wider scope were treated stronger compared to the ‘Dao’ with lesser scope.
In their case, the Dao of Netherworld governed the world’s reincarnation—it is rely a part of it. The Dao of Samsara, however, holds everything needed for reincarnation.
The power exhibited by Seele far outclassed what Castorice and Polyxia can do.
Hum-!
The River of Souls shook. This ti, it is not out of pain and suffering, but of exhilaration.
“...Thank you.”
Castorice bowed towards the two. She had just t them, yet they were willing to help them. No matter what, she felt it was right to show her sincerity.
Seeing Castorice’s actions, Polyxia did and hurriedly copied her.
“Go. A world ending in Destruction… It is sothing we would rather not see.”
The more outspoken Veliona leaked her thoughts. It is the final reassurance the twins needed, leading to them exiting the special dinsion through a permanent Century Gate.
Only the two Samsara goddesses were left.
“The others should be working already. It is ti to do our part…”
*****
After returning the Corefla, Anaxa escorted Hyacine to the Twilight Courtyard’s headquarters. It is an institution inside Okhema that specializes in treating diseases, injuries, and ailnts.
Only after they received a normal check up did Anaxa feel reassured. Hyacine was still silent, her sowhat eerie eyes dazing off at the distance. Her usual liveliness was replaced with gloom—trauma, even.
Aglaea also arrived alongside Tribbie. They heard about Hyacine’s situation from Trianne. Anaxa placed aside his usual rivalry with Aglaea, preparing to discuss how to deal with Okhema’s current disaster, when four won popped up.
Everyone tensed up, save for Tribios’ avatars.
“Long, silver hair styled in ticulous drills…”
“So this is what he ant by recognizing at first glance!”
Trianne’s comnt sparked curiosity across the newcors. Aglaea realized sothing as her gaze scanned the silver-haired woman.
“The ‘Silver Wolf of Ural’..?”
Bronya sent her a strange look.
‘He told my story?’
Her silver irises stared at Aglaea. Her intuition worked wonders. Bronya ‘saw’ a sowhat familiar sensation from her, one corresponding to her ti as a child rcenary.
That ti, her humanity was at its lowest. It wasn’t until she was taken in by Cocolia, followed by Shi Tian’s and Kiana’s arrival, did she turn for the better.
The story he ntioned to Aglaea and Trianne did not contain much personal information, just that there was once a rcenary girl who gradually learned what humanity truly is. It was self-explanatory to the forr. To the latter, she was the person whom Shi Tian told stories the most.
“This makes everything easier. We are rlin’s companions.”
“From another world?”
Bronya affird Tribbie’s question.
“For so reason, he was pulled into this world… your world. His actions are designed to lead everyone here to the starry sky outside.” She added another statent, “To beco real humans.”
Everyone fell silent.
Out of the three, no, four people, only Tribbie has a ‘hint’ of Amphoreus’ true nature. She interacted with Cerydra the longest. Coupled with Shi Tian’s stories and vague morals, it pointed to Amphoreus being ‘different’ compared to ‘other worlds’.
Seeing their puzzled and shocked looks, Bronya took it upon herself to unveil Amphoreus’ true nature. She learned everything about this world from Kiana’s mouth. The huge supercomputer, the Scepter, simulates Amphoreus over and over again until they reach the answer leading to Destruction.
The people residing in this world are not much different from Mars’ supercomputer, Vita’s samsara, and Earth’s Project STIGMA.
Everyone held complex reactions to this world, though their consensus to save it remained the sa. Shi Tian already did most of the part; best they could do is follow on to the very end.
“No wonder… No wonder..!”
Anaxa was so fixated to the discovery he no longer minded his reaction. Hyacine’s gloom worsened, while Aglaea, Tribbie, and Trianne took it calmly.
“We experienced sothing similar to yours. A foreign god’s descent spelled the end of our peaceful tis. rlin… Tian is one of the people who stood up and fought against it.”
The other three, Theresa, Rita, and Bianka held varying reactions.
“That... He sacrificed too much to pull our world towards a better end.”
Theresa looked strangely wistful, her arms placed underneath her chest.
“I… no, we are lucky to have t soone like him. His unbreakable will is sothing to aspire to.”
Bianka spat out her thoughts. Her fixation over Shi Tian stemd from his unique ‘characteristic’.
“The Sect Master is very reliable. Now that he made a choice to save your world, I will follow.”
Rita briefly stated her stance, acting as a perfect maid in the shadows.
“Then, on behalf of Amphoreus, I will accept your assistance.” Aglaea paused for a mont. “What can we do?”
“Miss Theresa will be left behind. Lead her to areas you cannot handle.”
Bronya pointed to the elegant-looking vampire.
“We still have one other companion who will be left in Okhema’s ground. Contact the Earth Demigod and you will reach her. As for the rest of us…”
Her bright silver irises stared at the Black Sun hanging above.
“We will deal with the anomalous sun above.”
