Chapter 1242 Suspended Edge, Please Cleanse Your Blood Rust 3
Chapter 1242 Suspended Edge, Please Cleanse Your Blood Rust 3
It's absurd that Suspended City could think of such a self-destructive method to suppress Nicardoli's madness.
Paimon: So Nicardo was already a bit crazy back then? Then why make him immortal?!
Sealing the souls of the Titans…
Fighting against the unseen? Does it refer to Nicardi's madness or... the Black Tide?
Regardless of which one, Nicardoli was subsequently scammed.
If it's something like fighting one's inner demons, that's fine. But if Nicardi is busy fighting the Black Tide, and then the people behind him decide to pull off a major event, then he's truly wronged.
Aglaia: So that's how it is...
Is Gnaeus summoned by Nicardo?
Hmm… If what he said is true, then the former king of Suspended Peak City orchestrated a major incident to control the erratic Nicardoli, leaving the already overwhelmed Nicardoli with no choice but to spare some time to find someone to help deal with the rear base that was trying to cause trouble…
Xia Die: But based on previous experiences... did Senior Gneis fail?
Gnaeus: Well, it can only be a failure.
No, if that's the case, doesn't that mean that Qiong and the others are really going to change history?
Tibo: Not at all. You can understand it as them solving Nicardi's problem in the 'past' and then arriving in the 'present' with the result, while the experiences in between remain unchanged. After all, the power of time is to 'salvage', not to change history.
Despite expending considerable effort, the Butterfly persisted in gathering intelligence through the memories of the dead. They then overheard King Euriporn's advisors devising a plan, seemingly intending to launch a full-scale attack on Ohma.
However, the most important task at present is to complete the 'project' on the God-King.
Upon hearing their plan, Xia Die was taken aback. She hadn't expected that the plan to attack Ohmma had already taken shape in such an ancient era. Qiong couldn't help but complain that the culprits must have all turned to ashes.
The two spoke frankly, but Gnaeus, who had long noticed their incongruity with the current era, was puzzled as to who had accomplished this, since Eulonis did not possess such divine power.
Xia Die then told Gnaeus where they came from and what their purpose was. Gnaeus was quite surprised; he hadn't expected Nicardo's madness to continue for centuries. The destruction caused by human folly is immeasurable; in the end, their goals were completely aligned.
Oh... wasn't the previous plan customized by Nicardoli?
Bai'e: It seems Wan Di also got it wrong.
So where did that letter even come from?! The thing is, Aglaia actually found an 'infiltration zone' in Ohma!
Stop messing around... It's like that period in the middle didn't even exist... My brain! I can't figure it out, I just can't understand it!
Admin Q: I already said not to consider Onpharos' timeline. That thing runs on bugs, so who knows when the information it retrieves will be from?
Black Tower: Hmm?
Qiong: Oh no, we've been discovered. Should we silence them?
Xiadie: ...
Gnaeus: →_→
Na Ke Xia: You said that Oronis doesn't have such powerful divine strength, then this pink mammal does seem to be related to that big ice block.
Qiong: Thank you Fuli for the cheat! Thank you!
Wait, how did it extend to thousands of years later?! Has it been that long?! Wait… isn't Damianos still alive? And isn't Wan Di a young man? Huh?
Doctor: ...Perhaps Gneiss doesn't quite understand time?
Even calculating at least a hundred years is still outrageous...
Is this the power of the current number one player on the map? It's even effective in Suspended Peak City. The first person I met really does seem to be hiding a huge secret...
That's the power of March!
March 7th: →_→…Uh…that’s Mimi and Bai E…
Bai E: (°ー°〃) Please change the subject.
Soon, Xiaodie found another hero's echo, the ghost spoke: "Courage, glory, perseverance, sacrifice, divide its divinity into five parts... but one petal is still missing."
God-King...where have you cast your 'reason'?
We will keep searching, we will definitely find it…
Xia Die's condition was already very bad. Seeing this, Gnaeus couldn't help but sigh and told her that she no longer needed to listen to the voices of the dead. The information they had was enough. The people of Suspended Peak City had tampered with Nicardoli's soul. Now they just needed to find the scene of their blasphemy.
After the Butterfly sent the soul to its final rest, the group continued deeper into the city. Next, they encountered an 'experiment': Euriporn was attempting to strip away Nicardori's divinity and store it permanently in a meticulously crafted container, thus ensuring Nicardori's immortality. However, before beginning the transformation of the Titan, he wanted to experiment on his familiars.
Qiong didn't know how Gnaeus knew this information. Gnaeus looked at the statues here—it was simple, because Nicardoli's fragmented soul was stored in these statues, and the summons he heard came from them.
By reassembling its soul and reuniting its divine core, it can regain its dignity as a Titan, and the Golden Blood will have a chance to defeat it head-on.
Courage, honor, resilience, sacrifice... Have we lost our reason?
Bai Er: Is this why Nicardoli is so crazy now?
Do you think I'd lose my brain?
Isn't this just losing it?
Something's wrong with Tian, and now Xia Die doesn't seem to be doing well either... hiss...
Gnaeus showed no surprise whatsoever about the two people from the future, the ability of the Butterfly to hear the voices of the dead, and the actions of the people of Suspended Peak City towards Nicardoli; he accepted it all very quickly.
Paimon: After all, everyone is already convinced that he is no ordinary person.
Dude, there are experimental subjects too?!
Wan Di: He actually...they actually let this happen...
Bai E: Calm down... The situation in the video is different from what's happening here. Things might not necessarily go this way on our end.
Nicardi's soul was torn into pieces and then stored in the statue... Well... Nicardi's body was actually a real Gundam?!
In a daze, I must say... it's as if the soul and the body have completely separated.
Doctor: Gnaeus was summoned by Nicardo... and in the real history where Sora and the others didn't arrive, he indeed failed, so what Wan Di and the others later saw was a still-mad and immortal Nicardo.
Bai E: That should be it.
After confirming the solution, Xia Die decided to hold off this 'experiment' herself, while Qiong and Genneus went to find a way to restore Nicardi's soul to its wholeness. Only by correcting this history could Onpharos have a future.
Gnaeus was also quite interested in the Memory Walker's abilities. Through the Dome's abilities, he saw the future Suspended City and was deeply moved, becoming even more certain that history had gone astray and needed to be corrected.
Even in the future, the Titans' souls are still shattered. What they need to do is change all of this. Standing before the statue, the two vaguely hear the sounds of Wan Die and his group fighting against Nicardoli—this current era seems quite close to the 'present'.
Upon learning that even in the shattered future, mortals are still defying fate, Gnaeus finds this remarkable. He also knows that power alone cannot destroy an immortal body, which is why Sora and Xia Die came to this era to find answers.
There are now four Soul-Forging Statues here. Even if the people of Suspended Peak City divided Nicardoli's soul into five parts, one part would still be missing. However, there's no clue where it is now, so they can only take action and first piece together Nicardoli's divinity.
Qiong: I hope Xia Die is alright.
Xia Die: Don't worry, Your Excellency, they are just family members. I can handle them. My abilities are also a perfect counter to this kind of immortality.
Wan Di: ...Indeed
Administrator Q: Speaking of immortality and instant death upon contact, we have to mention the arm-wrestling match between Xia Die and Wan Di.
Bai E: Only Wan Di dares to challenge Xia Die in a contest of strength.
Qiong: I protest, even the blade is acceptable.
edge:……
wait?
Bai Er: What did Gnaeus say?!
Danheng: He said the Memory Walker... So, the first person in Onphalus to have known about the existence of the Fate Walker all along has appeared.
Doctor: He might not be referring to the Fate Walkers... He could also be referring to Qiong and Xia Die traveling through memories to the past, so they're Memory Walkers... Okay, I can't make this up anymore... If this is just a coincidence, it's terrifying.
Black Swan: Perhaps he holds clues about the world beyond Onpharos.
Gnaeus: →_→ I don't know much either.
March 7th: →_→ I don't quite believe it? You, summoned by Nicardo, know about the Memory Walker, and Oronis knows about Father Fuli… I understand, it was the Titans who told you?!
Bai'e: If that's the case, then the Titans must know a lot of Onpharos's secrets... But... why would someone who has become a demigod...?
Saifeier: (each)
And you know what? The contrast here really highlights how different the 'past' Suspended Peak City is from the later Suspended Peak City…
Especially compared to the Suspended Peak City we first saw... two different eras... sigh.
Paimon: Hey, these people on the ground, their outfits and stuff, they look just like Gnaeus.
Traveler: The difference in body size doesn't seem to be that big...?
Doctor: As a doctor, I can tell you with certainty that there is almost no difference, except for the severity of the injury and the cause of death.
March 7th: ...I dare not think about it...
Dude, wait a minute, we're from completely different eras, how can we hear anything?! Does that even make sense?!
Fujimaru Ritsuka: I'm so confused... This isn't scientific!
Although the abilities of the Fate Walker have been considered from a fantasy perspective, how did they even manage to do that?!
Admin Q: →_→ Maybe it's because the two folders are next to each other even though they're not in the same folder?
Fujimaru Ritsuka: Don't try to explain unscientific things scientifically, okay? Although explaining it with a folder isn't exactly scientific, don't try to force it into a technological invention and call it science!
Administrator Q: →_→ Oh.
'There are still mortals who defy fate.'
At this moment, I thought of many things, of Nata, of Fontaine, of Fujimaru Ritsuka... and of Onpharos... although Onpharos... is a Golden Descendant considered a mortal?
Those who haven't become demigods are definitely mortals, but they follow the path of mortals killing gods to become gods, rather than returning to mortal life after killing a god... If we're talking about wish-fulfillment stories, the former is definitely more satisfying.
Administrator Q: I don't think so.
Huh? Why?
Doctor: ...Aglaia and Tirispius's situation...can it really be said that becoming demigods is a wish-fulfillment story?
...Oh right, hmm...then I'll take it back.
Tibo: Speaking of which, although it's been said that reason has vanished...
Aglaia: But the answer is actually quite obvious.
Myriad Enemies: My god still retains his sanity, but it has remained undetected. If Onpharos in the video hadn't received help from the Nameless Guest, he might have continued to erode until… he completely dissipated.
Bai E: But they've arrived! As for us... well... although we don't have Qiong's power, Xi Lian should be able to do it too, right?
Xi Lian: Hmm...maybe we can give it a try. After all, we'll have to get the spark of conflict sooner or later.
