Xingtie: Starting with an in-depth analysis of the Yellow Springs

Paimon: I was wrong. I disliked Aglaia's assertiveness at the beginning.

Danheng: "Look, Aigle's spark—"

A spark bearing an eye mark floats in mid-air, awaiting its destiny after a thousand years of waiting.

Feng Jin felt an emptiness in her heart at this moment, "Is this... really the end?"

"Seneus condemned mortals, causing them to fall into the pool of gold. In the end, her fate was also..."

Bai E turned around, his gaze serious. "...Take that spark, Feng Jin. Our mission is not over yet."

Upon hearing this, Feng Jin walked up to the spark and reached out her hand, "Hmm... Spark of the sky, come with me..."

The spark instantly entered her body, and a massive amount of energy flowed through her. She felt stronger than ever before... a wondrous feeling, a warm breath.

Looking into my palm, I feel as if the winds of the world will turn for me when I hold it in my hand... Summoning thunderclouds or rain and snow is just a thought away.

"I understand how you feel, but right now..."

Bai E searched for an escape route. "This platform is teetering on the brink of collapse. I don't know how much longer it can hold out. I need to find a way to get out."

"Look, over there—"

Not far away, the instruments of the Time Priest flickered with a faint light.

The platform beneath their feet was supported entirely by Aglaia's amulet; they had to quickly use the power of time to rewind the broken platform and return to the entrance.

Danheng deduced, "Is the collapse of Sky City caused by the fall of Aigle?"

As soon as Xing and Mimi touched the instrument of the Priest of Time, the amulet supporting the platform began to tremble, and even the golden threads trembled.

“There’s no time left, we have to get it back at least… Star, hurry!” Bai E shouted.

In order to save time, Xing directly used a prayer, "Lift the veil of memory—"

"—Stirring up ripples of the past!"

As the power of the prayer of time was activated, the golden threads emanating from the amulet then converged.

The hip bone bracelet, imbued with Aglaia's divinity, slowly floated towards Bai'e. Suddenly, the normally functioning instruments flashed red. "Damn it, the power of prayer..."

Xing strode out.

Bai E lunged forward, his fingertips just a hair's breadth away from the bracelet.

The group pinned their last hopes on Mimi, but the bracelet was falling faster than they could, leaving them no choice but to give up.

[Nicole: Wait, what? Where's my knife? Wasn't Onphalos supposed to be a romantic story? What is this... a knife chasing after romance?]

[Hanabi: If this is really a script, I want to strap a firework bomb to that person and make him experience despair.]

【Ah ah ah ah ah! ! ! 】

[Rin: What are you trying to do? That's one of Aglaia's last possessions. If you give it to me, I'll cherish it dearly.]

[Robin: Just one step... just one step...]

[I have a question: Why not just retrieve it directly instead of seeking out some kind of prayer?]

[Fu Xuan: Those golden threads are also part of the bracelet. The fact that they can support such a massive platform shows how deeply they are rooted. The only way to recover their power is through retrospection.]

[Bai E: Damn it! Why, why... if I could have been faster...]

[Mimi: Xing, am I really useless? I couldn't catch Aglaia's relic.]

Chapter 469 Returning Dawn to the World

Bai E slammed heavily onto the ground, a dull thud echoing through the air. His back was hunched, his forehead pressed against the cold platform, and resentment surged in his chest.

But he didn't have time to blame himself.

Now he had to leave Sky Fortress. His partner was waiting for him, Wind Violet was waiting for him, and the residents of Ohma were also waiting for him.

He slowly stood up, his once straight back now slightly hunched. "Let's go... we have to leave here."

Bai E averted his gaze from the bracelet that was about to disappear into the golden pool and turned toward the exit. Xing, however, stared at the bracelet for a long time, unwilling to turn back.

As the bracelet was submerged in the golden pool, Aglaia's voice in the oracle grew clearer.

“I will take one last bath… in warm, gleaming gold.”

"From this moment on, Bai'e, you will embark on a journey from which there is no return."

"The light leaves its seat because it is waiting for the sun to rise."

"One day, you will no longer take a step out of fear..."

Aglaia & Bai'er: "...but to return the dawn to the world."

[Wind Violet: One last bath in gold... Lady Aglaia, see you tomorrow.]

[Fou: No, it wasn't enough for Aglaia to die once in the golden bath of Ohma; her last vestiges of humanity were then consumed by the scorching furnace, and even her divinity had to be bathed in gold! Wasn't that enough for her?]

[Rin: I'm numb! Why did they have to pull back the foreshadowing at this time? I don't want to accept my fate!]

Silver Branch: She is a child of humanity, and the brilliance of humanity will guide countless lost souls across the galaxy back to their way. Pure beauty...forever.

[Damn! Just hearing that sentence gave me goosebumps all over.]

[Ying: I'm truly impressed! That's what the oracle meant!! The Golden Pool… damn, everything makes sense.]

[Huo Huo: Waaah... Tail, can we save Sister Aglaia? She dedicated her entire life to the Fire Chaser.]

[Black Tower: Humanity is nobler than divinity. Machine Head, this time I deny you!]

[See you tomorrow, Ms. Aglaia.]

[Star: Bai E. 】

[Bai Er: Partner, I'm here.]

[Star: This time, we absolutely cannot let the oracle happen again. I must ensure that Aglaia sees the re-creation.]

[Bai'er: My friend, let's become heroes together.]

[Mimi: Mimi~ I want to be a hero too! Onpharos's story deserves to be seen by more people.]

【You can't do anything, Euronis... What good is your divine power?】

[Aglaia: Whitey, I am waiting for a sun to rise.]

Bai E's gaze was heavy. "...It's right in front of us."

"The platform has retraced its route overhead... We must find a way to get up there!" Danheng observed the route.

The group hurried through the passage behind them to the outer perimeter, where there must be other paths to take.

As she ran, Feng Jin hesitated, then said, "Bai'er, Aglaia, she..."

"I know."

"I know……"

His voice trembled; he was in pain… but he couldn’t stop, he couldn’t halt his steps, at least not at this moment.

Using the relic orb, the group arrived outside the passage.

Looking up, the murals covering the sky were flashing with lightning and thunder. Some parts had lost their original function as murals and turned into pitch-black screens, which looked like the end of the world under the cold white lightning.

Feng Jin whispered: "The celestial murals...reflect the end of the world..."

“On the contrary, the journey to pursue the fire is about to succeed,” Xing said, turning around.

Danheng pondered: "Aigler is the eleventh flame of the journey of fire. And the last flame of Kefal is enshrined in the council center of Dawn Cloud Cliff."

Bai Er asserted, "We are only one step away from accomplishing a miracle. Mortals will take control of their own destiny... provided we can escape from here!"

Just as the group was talking, the sky barrier began to collapse at an accelerated rate, with huge boulders constantly falling from the sky, causing the earth to shake violently.

The uncontrolled lightning in the Celestial Phenomenon Mural wantonly destroyed the interior buildings.

The group could only silently quicken their pace.

If a collapse occurs, Xing and Mimi will use their divine power of time to go back in time and open a path directly to the exit.

The two winged beasts' senses were blocked by the wind and clouds on the painted wall, preventing Feng Jin from making contact. Otherwise, she could have used their wings to escape the Sky Fortress.

With the help of the fire, the group stepped onto the previously crashed platform and took the elevator.

[Ambi: Oh no, accidents always happen when you ride an elevator in a movie.]

Nicole: This isn't a movie; it's something that actually happened in another world. Besides, the greatest threat, Titan, was still killed.

[Xia Die: I feel a vague unease in my heart. Your Excellency Bai E, Your Excellency Xing... please be careful.]

[Dr. Truth: The Sky Barrier's structure is similar to a hard drive; Onpharos is a world beautified by memories.]

[Lagus: Your deduction is correct, Professor Ladio. That place is what I call… Beyond the Myths. A world of only cold data, where, unfortunately, the form of the Titans can be clearly seen.]

[Star: *I* am an omnic.]

In the dim light, Feng Jin seemed to hear a roar.

Bai Er instructed, "Everyone—once the platform stops, we'll rush to the exit immediately..."

"...Don't hesitate for even a second!"

"Everyone, hold on tight!" Bai Er reminded them again, as the exit was at the end of the rainbow bridge connecting the platforms.

The piercing sound of birdsong came from deeper within.

Dan Heng frowned, "That voice is... how is that possible..."

Bai E heard it too, of course, but, "There's no time for us to speculate..."

"—Run!"

Just as the group was about to step onto the Rainbow Bridge, the platform began to rise uncontrollably at high speed, and the roars of the Titans drew ever closer.

Feng Jin sat on the ground, slightly raising her head with a puzzled look in her eyes, "Titan?"

"But its spark has already..."

"Could it be... Seneos..."

Without any time to react, the newly born Titan Aigle descended from the sky onto the platform, with two heads and two wings, its body covered in a dark red, evil aura.

The core, which had been shattered by Bai E, reassembled with the help of the Black Tide, becoming even more powerful and capable of breaking free from the limitations of the body.

Thunder and fire mingled together, and the dark clouds and murals were shrouded in blood.

Aigle's twisted body was frightening.

[Bai'er: The thing I feared most has happened. Aigle has fallen under the control of the Black Tide, and we will face a battle to the death.]

[Emerald: A Titan construct swept up by the Black Tide; perhaps crucial infection data for the Iron Tomb can be obtained from it. Gold Dust, you will subsequently lead a team from the R&D department to investigate.]

Gold dust: No problem.

[Gui Naifen: Huh? Wasn't the first mode meant to make the experience more realistic? Why are you all doing research on it?]

[Su Chang: Xiao Gui Zi, you always say I'm stupid, but how come you're so silly yourself? I experienced it once, and the scene was almost identical to reality.]

[Ring: Oh no! If those people from the Praise Society manage to replicate the Iron Tomb virus, we're doomed!]

[Yuecheng Liu: The technical differences are too great, making it difficult to identify useful information.]

[Silver Wolf: As expected, this world is a giant game. Even Aigle has a third stage, so why can't I, Silver Wolf, have an SP form? Answer me!]

Chapter 470 I am... the rising sun!

The battle is about to begin, the karmic consequences of Yang Lei, the Eye of Dawn and Dusk.

Bai E held Qin Chen in his hand, his gaze solemn. "Did the Black Tide bring it back to life?"

"The fire has been taken away, yet it continues to move..." Feng Jin said in disbelief, "Lady Seneos, is that you?"

The Titan remained silent, only launching terrifying attacks.

The head, cleaved open by the White Calamity, twisted and deformed under the influence of the Black Tide, simultaneously manipulating the power of lightning and the blazing sun. Aigle's corrupted mark opened its eyes.

A beam of light pierced through the heavens and earth, shooting straight up to the dome.

Feng Jin: "I heard it, the echo of the apocalypse... Stop, Lady Seneos!"
