Zeus's grace is higher than the sky

“Theoretically speaking, dear Tirispius, you should be dead by now.”

Tirispius recalled the last words of that secret technique.

"Remember, the split you will no longer be the same person you are now. At the moment of splitting, the user will be sent to the underworld."

Tirispyos stood up and looked at the three people in front of her. From the introductions, she already knew that the three people in front of her were the Titan of Reason, the Titan of Romance, and Zeus, who was hailed as the thirteenth Titan or the first prophet.

"Great Titan, you have retrieved my soul from the River Styx and brought it here. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Since the time of war, when Ceres used the flames of war as a furnace and burned the very tree of God as fuel, the three of them have almost never appeared before the world again.

As a result, the school of thought of Shingo Tree Garden became diverse, filled with conflicts between various different doctrines. However, this also led to the continuous confirmation of new theories and discoveries, which helped Shingo Tree Garden achieve faster development and progress.

“What can you do for us, lovely Tirispius?”

Tirispius was speechless for a moment, unsure how to respond.

Her own strength and wisdom were far inferior to those of the great Titans. The flame belonging to the Gate Titan Janus had already been given to them with the birth of three thousand lives. She really couldn't imagine what the great Titans needed her to do.

"Great Titan, please forgive my ignorance. The insignificant Tirispyos does not know what I can do for you."

Tirispius lowered her head, not daring to look directly at the three people in front of her.

"Haha, don't panic, lovely Tyresipius, we don't need you to do anything for us. We only retrieved your soul from the River Styx because we admire your courage and responsibility."

"It is a pity that you chose to sacrifice yourself for the burdens of this world when you still had the best years of your life. For this reason, we have brought you here and forgive your transgression against Janus."

Tirispius breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and then tried to speak again.

"No need for further words, lovely Tirispeius. I have already provided the necessary assistance to the people of Onphalus. However, if they wish to escape this predicament, they must rely on themselves. You will remain here with us and quietly observe the efforts and resolve of those like you in Onphalus."

Chapter 258 Seneos

Subsequently, through the messenger of the young Tirispeius, the oracle of Cephale was learned by the Golden Children throughout Onphalus.

While everyone was watching, Seneos, known as the Thunder Knight, came before Zeus.

"Welcome, little Seneos. It's been several years since we last met."

Seneos was born in the Sky City of the Sky Titan Aegler. Before her birth, the people of Rain and the people of Light were already at odds because Aegler, who had ninety-nine eyes pierced in the war with Nicardoli, was fleeing from the Black Tide under the clouds.

As the product of the union of the Rain People's priests and the Sun People's warriors, she was naturally ostracized and disliked by both sides. Although she grew up in Sky City, she felt no warmth whatsoever in her homeland, Seneos.

As an adult, she left the merciless sky city and traveled across the land of Onpharos. The renowned Divine Enlightenment Tree Garden was naturally a place she had to visit during her travels.

The early ostracism made her precocious, and it also made her more immersed in her own world than other children. Books were the only fun for young Seneos besides training, which gave her knowledge and wisdom far beyond her peers.

When she arrived at the Divine Tree Garden, the determination and wisdom in her eyes immediately drew the attention of the sages to her extraordinary qualities.

“Child, would you like to stay here and choose a mentor to guide you on your path of learning? Whoever you choose, he will impart all his knowledge to you.”

Even though Seneos intended to refuse, the sages' enthusiasm was too much for her to resist. In the end, under the sages' final inquiry, Seneos pointed directly to the statues they had erected for Zeus and his two companions.

"I only recognize those who can surpass me in both strength and knowledge. Only such people are worthy of being my teachers. Here, only those three are worthy of being my teachers!"

The sages of the Divine Enlightenment Tree Garden are certainly not bookworms; their strong bodies help them learn more effectively, so they also have robust physiques. However, this is nothing compared to Seneos, who is in her prime and trains day and night.

Just as the sage was about to reprimand Seneos for her disrespect, a magnificent voice came from all directions.

"I agree!"

The sage immediately prostrated himself and knelt down, worshipping the statue.

“Great enlightener, I understand.”

Led by this sage, Seneos arrived at the dwelling of Zeus and his two companions.

When we arrived at the final gate...

“Lady Seneos, go! Three great beings await you inside. This is an opportunity that many people could only dream of in their entire lives.”

Aren't you coming with me?

The sage shook his head.

“Apart from the original sage, no one dares to enter this place without the permission of those three. Those three great beings only summoned you, Lady Seneos.”

The gate opened, and endless light shone forth. When Seneos saw the scene before her, she couldn't help but gape.

The birdsong, fragrant flowers, and bright sunshine are just like the legendary Golden Age, which embodies all the beautiful aspirations.

At this moment, Zeus was resting his head on Cersis's lap, watching Meneta dance joyfully before their eyes.

Meneta stopped dancing only when Seneos approached, and Cersis and Zeus also stood up.

“Seneus, from this day forward, I am your teacher. Do you have any objections?”

Without a word, the person before him seemed more dazzling than the Sky Titan Egler in the temple, and more skilled in battle than the legendary Nicardoli.

Seneos knelt on one knee and bowed her head to Zeus.

"teacher."

Zeus smiled with satisfaction.

Afterwards, under Zeus's guidance, Seneos grew even stronger, her wisdom discerning all things, and her martial prowess rivaling that of the Titans.

The next day.

"Seneus, the day has come for us to part."

"Teacher, I..."

Zeus gently placed his finger in front of her lips.

"No need to say more, I have already taught you everything that Seneos can teach you, without missing a single detail. The rest is up to you to gradually understand on your own."

At that time, Zeus considered Seneos to be the Heracles of Onphalus, with no equal in the mortal world.

Zeus tapped her forehead with his finger, and two coordinates appeared in Seneos's mind.

"Go, they are your destined companions, and my final gift to you."

With tears in her eyes, Seneos, though reluctant, decided to leave, but it was Zeus who first spoke up.

When Seneos stepped out of the door, Cersis appeared beside Zeus.

"That child is just one step away, isn't he?"

The physical training has reached perfection, and the accumulation of knowledge is as high as a mountain. However, in a cruel world, these are not the most important things if you want to go all the way to the end.

Seneos's tragic childhood experiences made her naturally resistant to that final, crucial step—her inexhaustible passion for life and living.

When Zeus first saw Seneos's flame, it was already a flickering candle in the wind, but it grew a little stronger under Zeus's careful nurturing.

“Seneus’s childhood was filled with harsh environments, and the ostracized and disgusted looks and behaviors permeated her childhood, which naturally determined her cold mentality.”

Unlike Xia Die, who was feared and shunned by people for her ability to grant death during her time as the Saintess of Aidiria, she still had children with innocent hearts who accompanied her, which allowed her to maintain this passion in her heart even though she was not good at showing it.

"Moreover, sometimes the closer one gets to disillusionment before reaching that point, the more severe the backlash becomes."

“Anger and despair can make people lose their minds, dear Cecily, I believe you have already experienced this deeply.”

When the warring world had just begun a thousand years ago, Cersei had already punished people for overfishing. If Zeus had not intervened, it would have likely led to another terrible war.

Several years later, Seneos ended her journey across the land and decided to answer Tyresibias's call. Before that, she came here specifically to see Zeus, the man who taught her everything like a father.

"Seneus, have you made up your mind?"

"Yes, great Zeus, I will answer the call and join the journey to the fire."

Seneos was not surprised that Zeus knew about the journey to the fire. In her eyes, Zeus was so omniscient and omnipotent that it seemed nothing in the world could escape his eyes.

"Then go ahead, I'll be proud of you."

Zeus's hand gently stroked Seneos's head, his tender gaze like that of someone looking at their own child.

"Witness my martial prowess, my wisdom, and everything about me!"

Chapter 259 The Barrier to the Heart

"That child still hasn't taken that step, Zeus, and everything within Aegler's sight..."

The Titans have a far broader perspective than the humans on Onpharos. Sometimes, having such a broad perspective is not a good thing; it can dampen a person's love for life and plunge them into a dark abyss.

As a Sky Titan, Aegler's vision was far broader than that of the other Titans. Moreover, Seneos's home, Sky City, was right under his nose, and all the ugliness and depravity that occurred there was laid bare before Aegler's eyes.

The biggest obstacle Senius faced was Aegler, but what drove her to despair and madness was the broad perspective she gained after defeating Aegler.

"It all depends on her, Cecilia. No one can help her at this juncture."

Tirispius then came along.

“Lord Zeus, is Miss Seneos the hero who answered the call to fire? What a powerful and resolute lady.”

Even from a distance, Tirispyos could clearly sense Seneos's power. If all the Golden Bloods participating in the Fire Chase were as powerful as Seneos, Tirispyos would have no worries about the Fire Chase failing.

“Powerful? No, it’s far from enough.”

It cannot be denied that Seneos was indeed unmatched on the land of Onphalus at this time, but considering the real enemy behind their journey to the fire, Seneos's strength was far from enough.

Only by relying on the power of destiny can the Onpharos have a chance of ultimate success. The most crucial element of the power of destiny is the mind. If one cannot overcome the mental barrier, no matter how powerful one's numerical value is within the Onpharos machine, one will be unable to escape a tragic fate.

Seneos once again set foot on the Sky City, only to be greeted with the same insults and disgust as before. However, Seneos was no longer the same as before. The behavior of her people seemed ridiculous to her, like a giant who would not care about the patting of an infant.

She frankly stated her purpose—she would kill Aigle, take her fire, and become the new demigod.

"My God, what blasphemous words! What a traitorous villain! How dare he attempt to kill the Titans we believe in!"

Both the people of Sunlight and the people of Rain were astonished and enraged by Seneos's outrageous words, which were followed by endless ridicule and abuse.

Meanwhile, Zeus and his companions, far away in the sky, were observing all of this through magic.

“Lord Zeus, look, even when faced with the insults and ridicule of all the people of the sun and the people of the rain, Lady Seneos remains unmoved and continues to move forward towards her goal with unwavering determination. How can you say that she cannot overcome her inner demons?”

Zeus gently stroked Tyresibios's long, red hair, and the smooth touch made him feel incredibly excited.

“Lovely Tirispyos, these harsh words are like raindrops hitting a rock to Seneos, having no effect whatsoever. Words that truly touch the core, even if not so vicious, can still cause immense pain. These people’s words are far from touching the core of Seneos’ spirit.”

No matter how much they curse and swear at Seneos, no matter how much they curse Seneos's disrespect and rebellion, the fact remains—Seneos was able to fight and defeat Aegler!

Therefore, Seneos paid no attention to their belittling and insults.

"However, this may not be the case in other aspects."

Seneos lost her parents at a young age and grew up amidst the disgust of those around her. Using this as the core of your attack on Seneos with words will definitely shake her heart.

"But, my love, such words will only shake little Seneos now, and will not be able to break through her defenses."

Seneos now harbors a grander and more ambitious pursuit, one that is enough to overshadow her past wounds and weaknesses.

"But the foundation of this grand vision is not solid. If it suffers a blow that is strong enough to shatter it, it could even plunge Seneos into another abyss."

Seneos's great aspiration was based on universal values. For someone with a basic conscience, it was an easy choice to do something that she was sure she could accomplish to save the world, and to receive countless flowers and worship afterward. This was especially true for Seneos, who was even kinder under Zeus's tutelage.

"The setbacks you encounter on the path to salvation are far beyond your expectations, little Seneos. They are not something you can fool by simply telling yourself that the ignorant masses cannot see the truth."

Whether by fate or not, Seneos's two winged beast companions, one like Lunebis on a cold, rainy day and the other like Sorapis on a warm, sunny day, seemed to foreshadow her destiny to replace Aegler.

With the help of the two winged beasts, Seneos easily reached the dome, the abode of the sky titan Aegler, despite the obstacles posed by the Rain People and the Sun People.

Without a word, Seneos's surging fighting spirit spoke volumes; she, Seneos, was here today to replace Aegler.

【The Thunder Knight】Seneus gained her fame during her travels in Ompharos. Just as her name suggests, under Zeus's tutelage, every strike she made was like a thunderbolt striking down. All of Aegler's defenses and counterattacks were laughable in the face of such power.

Before long, Aegler's massive body crashed to the ground, the violent tremor causing the entire Sky City to shake.

Everyone's gaze involuntarily turned to the dome where Aigle resided. The figure of the god was no longer there; in its place was the [Sunlight Knight] Seneos.

The people of the Sky City, the people of the Sun and the people of the Rain, were shocked to find that Seneos had actually defeated Aegler, just as she had said in her absurd words.

The entire Sky City was thrown into a state of panic. The passing of Aigle caused their faith to waver and even collapse.

Amidst this violent upheaval, a new faith emerged among a group of people—since the [Sunlight Knight] Seneos is stronger than Aegler, why don't I just worship Seneos and pray for her protection?

Seneos reached her hand toward the core of Eger, and in her last eye flickered the flames that belonged to the "sky".

"My mission in the pursuit of fire is about to be completed!"

But when her hand touched the embers of Aegler, countless scenes flooded her mind—scenes she had seen and heard over thousands of years since Aegler's birth in Onphalus. The most vivid and dramatic of these scenes undoubtedly began with the birth of humankind and their pursuit of Aegler.
