"Catch. Use these to restrain its movents."
The group reached out and caught the items. The mont the chains landed in their hands, they felt a surprising weight. March 7th, not quite having the strength for it, was nearly pulled to the ground by the sheer mass of the chains.
Phainon weighed the chains in his hand. Though they were small in volu, their weight far exceeded that of ordinary chains. Logically, iron shouldn't be this dense. So why did they still look like plain iron?
Moreover, looking them over, Phainon couldn't find anything special about the chains. But since they ca from Fu Zhu, they couldn't possibly be ordinary objects.
He concluded that his own perception must be too poor to see what made these chains special.
Poor perception or not, he could still ask.
During his studies in the Grove of Epiphany, Anaxagoras had often admonished his students to ask questions when they didn't understand, and not to keep problems bottled up inside.
Phainon held the chains and asked Fu Zhu directly, "Is there sothing special about these chains?"
"Nope, they're just ordinary iron chains."
Fu Zhu's answer was blunt. He hadn't installed any chain-related mods. In the Ice and Fire mod, these very sa ordinary chains were enough to restrain the dragons within. Although that was due to the mod author altering their data, this wasn't a normal Minecraft world—it was the real world!
Previously, various items from Minecraft had exhibited unexpected effects simply by virtue of existing in reality. Fu Zhu had reason to believe these chains could also do things they normally couldn't.
And even if they couldn't, he was here as a backup, right?
It was worth a try.
Hearing Fu Zhu's answer, Phainon couldn't help but scratch his head.
Ordinary chains... can they really restrain a Titan? Won't they just snap the mont you pull?
Compared to the hesitant Phainon, Dan Heng and March 7th acted without a shred of doubt.
March 7th first condensed an arrow of Six-Phased Ice, then securely wound the chain around it. Aiming at the Sky Titan circling overhead, she fired. The arrow flew true, embedding the chain firmly within the Titan's skeletal fra.
"Heh!"
Seeing her attack succeed, March 7th imdiately grabbed the end of the chain. A second later, the Sky Titan began to struggle violently, and March 7th was yanked clean off her feet.
"Help !" March 7th cried out in alarm. Fortunately, Fu Zhu had been keeping an eye on her. The mont she lost her footing, he was there, wrapping an arm around her waist while his other hand grabbed the chain.
March 7th finally caught her breath and gave Fu Zhu a sweet smile over her shoulder.
"Thanks!"
Fu Zhu shot her an annoyed glare. "With those skinny arms and legs of yours, don't be so reckless. Next ti, let Dan Heng or Stelle do it."
Stelle, who was busy fending off attacks on the front line, couldn't help but turn her head at his words.
"Hey, big bro, are my arms thick?"
"This is a raid, not the ti for jokes!"
Stelle pouted and turned back to focus on the Sky Titan's attacks.
In that short ti, the others had also managed to tether the Sky Titan in its other locations. The Titan began to thrash wildly, but it couldn't break the chains on its body, nor could it damage the chains themselves. This sent it into a frenzy.
Dan Heng and Phainon, holding onto their chains, began to slide forward from the force of the Titan's struggle.
"This thing's strength is incredible!" Phainon exclaid, marveling at the fact that sothing Fu Zhu produced was always extraordinary. Even these seemingly ordinary chains were so durable that not even a Titan could break them.
Fu Zhu, still holding March 7th's chain, looked up at the still-resisting Sky Titan. With a slight tug, he pulled the chain back. The Sky Titan's massive body was instantly yanked from the sky, crashing down onto the platform with a sickening crunch of breaking bones that was audible to everyone.
Phainon watched as Fu Zhu effortlessly pulled the Sky Titan down and couldn't help but swallow hard.
His strength is... frankly absurd.
After yanking the Sky Titan from the sky, Fu Zhu casually tied the chain to the ground. Worried it wasn't secure enough, he also built a cobblestone wall on top of the Titan's head, completely eliminating any possibility of it ever taking flight again.
After all that, the Sky Titan was like a bird pinned under a giant stone slab. It could only flutter uselessly on the ground, unable to even attack anyone.
With the situation handled, Fu Zhu dusted off his non-existent dirt from his hands and tipped his chin at the group.
"All set. You guys finish it off. I'm sitting this one out."
The others all turned their gazes to Phainon. He shrugged, drew his sword, and walked up to the Sky Titan.
"Titan, rest in slumber."
With that, he plunged his sword deep into the Titan's massive eyeball, splitting it in two. The violently struggling Sky Titan twitched a few more tis before falling completely still. The Sky Corefla slowly floated out from its body.
"That was... a little too easy."
Phainon took the Corefla and handed it to a nearby Hyacine. As planned, she would be the one to inherit this Sky Corefla.
Hyacine took the Corefla in both hands, her face a mask of disbelief.
"This is... not quite what the prophecy said. It said, 'At the end of the Rainbow Bridge, the Child of the Sky will nd the twilight,' but... I didn't do anything at all..."
Khaslana walked over at that mont, his voice raspy as he recounted the events of past cycles.
"It is indeed different. In the past cycles, you would have taken the Corefla and rged with the Firmant Wall to protect the living beings of Amphoreus. And yet, this ti... you are still standing here, whole. Be thankful to him. He is truly, as you all say, the variable of this cycle, the dawn of Amphoreus."
Khaslana, Hyacine, and Phainon all turned in unison to look at Fu Zhu, who was chatting idly with March 7th.
Everything had gone so smoothly because of him.
Phainon sheathed his weapon and said with a relaxed smile, "Finally, Amphoreus can turn a new page. Let's go, back to Okhema. We need to share this good news with everyone!"
"Mm."
Just as the three were about to head over to join Fu Zhu, a shimring golden chrysalid suddenly flew into view. It slowly landed on Fu Zhu's shoulder, and from it ca the voice of Aglaea.
"Everyone, the situation in Okhema has changed. Lygus has appeared. He hasn't made a move, but he asked to pass on a ssage to you, Mr. Fu Zhu: 'Mr. Fu Zhu, I ask that you bear witness to my new creation. If you have successfully dealt with the Sky Titan, please return with haste!'"
After relaying the ssage, the chrysalid dissolved into motes of light and vanished completely. But its words caused everyone present to frown.
Fu Zhu, however, simply narrowed his eyes and smiled faintly.
"Looks like The Irontomb is about to hatch. Let's go. We ought to give this newborn a proper welco gift."
