Zeus's grace is higher than the sky

After saying that, he lightly touched the forehead of Ereshkigal.

Ereshkigal blushed instantly, steam rising from her head. Although they were future sisters, Ereshkigal was still very shy about such intimate behavior in public, even in front of her sister.

"This is too...too sudden!"

"Alright, Ereshkigal, goodbye."

While Ereshkigal was still basking in shyness, Zeus took Ereshkigal's hand and took another step, arriving at the only light in Ohmaros at that time—the holy city of Ohmaro.

The holy city is as magnificent as I remember it, and as bright as I remember it.

Chapter 276 Conversation in the Divine Enlightenment Tree Garden

"Wow, it's just as magnificent and bright as I remember."

After Zeus returned to Ohm, he first took Xilian to see Aglaia.

Looking at the beautiful, elegant, and full-hearted Aglaia Xilian in front of her, she was very excited.

"As expected of you, Miss Aglaia, you still possess such a rich humanity, which is completely different from most other reincarnations."

In tens of millions of reincarnations, most of the endings are that Aglaia eventually loses her humanity and is forced to her death by the Senate's Kaines, who manipulates the people of Ohma.

Although she was initially curious about the new sisters Zeus brought, Xi Lian's other stories about reincarnation piqued her interest even more.

"Miss, if it's convenient, could you tell me about these other reincarnations?"

Xi Lian told this romantic demigod about the life of Aglaia, which she remembered most often.

"Actually, there are very few exceptions. For example, the treacherous Titan Zagreus seized the fire of the Necromancer."

That was an extremely rare special case in countless reincarnations. Even after Zagreus seized the fire, the power of trickery was still inherited by Sephiroth. However, unlike the current Sephiroth, in that reincarnation she perfectly interpreted the power of "trickery". Under the flying coins, city-state after city was won by her.

In that cycle, Saifeier was reincarnated as Ohma's master.

"No, to be more precise, it's Osvegas Hema, the most luxurious gambling city in all of Onpharos."

There, the successful Cypher met a fallen noblewoman, a blonde girl from a family of tailors.

Upon hearing this, Aglaia naturally realized that the blonde girl was referring to her.

“In that cycle of reincarnation, Saifeier showed great interest in Aglaia and gifted the golden boots, which represent trickery, to that noble girl, that is, you, Lady Aglaia.”

Aglaia was also somewhat taken aback after hearing this.

"It's truly an amazing cycle."

"After all, there are 30 million chances, anything can happen."

Their next stop was the Garden of the Gods, Zeus's long-time residence in Omphalus.

When Zeus stepped into the Garden of the Gods, flowers bloomed at his feet and birds sang overhead, creating a scene of prosperity.

"It's been a long time, my love."

Led by Ceres, the people of the Temple of the Gods welcomed the arrival of Zeus and Xilian.

"The Garden of Divine Enlightenment is the most intelligent place in all of Onpharos, where countless heroes of the Golden Blood have studied."

Xi Lian's eyes swept over the crowd.

Tirispeius and Crydella, two members of the Golden Clan who should have died at this time, stood among the crowd with normal expressions.

Moreover, according to Xi Lian's perception, they were no longer digital beings, but rather beings with real flesh and blood. Their existence truly reassured Xi Lian.

Xi Lian was born within Onpharos. Even though she was one of the two special variables capable of transcending Onpharos, she still couldn't leave Onpharos to explore the world beyond the heavens.

Although she could sense Zeus's extraordinary nature, she did not know the greatness of the star god. His indescribable power could only be truly understood by witnessing it firsthand.

"By the way, Zeus, I have something to say..."

Under Zeus's amused expression, Ceryldra blushed and reluctantly changed her words.

"Master...Master, there's something I want to tell you."

At this moment, the others were also pulled aside by Xi Lian to start chatting.

Crydella was once a demigod of the "Law," and she knew more about the Onpharos system than other demigods.

"Zeus... Master... Master, what exactly do you intend to do?"

Kerudela, through her legal authority, naturally knew some of Onpharos's secrets and records, and the appearance of Xilian did not conform to the normal progress of Onpharos.

"Of course, I want to help you end this tragedy as soon as possible."

Krydella's expression changed drastically.

"You want to interfere with the re-creation of the universe."

Zeus nodded calmly.

"no!"

Zeus's lips curled slightly.

"This is the fastest and best way, using my power as a substitute without even needing to gather the remaining embers."

Krydella's face was very ugly, but her refusal remained firm.

"We must absolutely not interfere with the re-creation process through actions outside the established procedures! Otherwise, Onpharos will..."

"What will happen, my Caesar?"

Kerudela had no choice but to reveal the whole reason.

To ensure the smooth progress of the rebirth, Crydela used her own life to activate the law exchanged for the Lawful Fire—if the process of rebirth is disturbed, all other Fires will be considered as Fires of Destruction.

At that time, the Iron Tomb created by Onpharos will become a monster that continues to destroy until its death, and the culprit that interfered with the re-creation will be the first to be destroyed by the awakened Iron Tomb.

"Finally telling the truth, Crydella. I thought you would keep it from me forever."

"You already knew, didn't you?"

Cerberus was a little angry, but Caesar realized that the man in front of him had just been teasing him.

"As expected of His Highness Caesar, his plans are truly flawless."

Given the circumstances and limited knowledge he possessed, Caesar was able to deduce the internal and external crises and make the resolute decision to sacrifice himself to lay a strong foundation for the re-creation of Onphalus. His name is truly well-deserved.

So what do you plan to do?

Since Zeus intended to end the tragedy of Onphalus ahead of time, knowing the limitations of the law, he must have already devised a countermeasure.

Crydela could not fathom Zeus's power, but she knew that Zeus's own power was enough to instantly flatten the entire Ompharos. However, in the thousands of years that Ompharos existed, he did not directly take action and maintained a rather limited exertion of power. There was only one most likely reason for this—balance.

Balance, the ultimate essence of the political game, is why politics is called the art of compromise.

Besides Zeus, there must be at least two other beings of equal rank watching Onphalus.

Although Onphalus was important, it was not important enough for Zeus to disrupt the tacit agreement and fight to the death with at least two other beings of equal caliber.

"By the way, what about the savior from outer space you promised? Aren't you going to use him?"

Even without using power surpassing that of demigods and Titans, none of Onpharos's followers in the four cardinal directions, Athena and Aglaia within Ohma, the Sunlight Knight Seneos, the Hand of Darkness, or the Mistress of the Underworld could possibly betray him.

With such power, unifying the entire Onphalus would be as simple as a flat sweep.

"Their arrival certainly made sense, especially for that girl."

Chapter 277 The Return of the Deathly Flame

For Fuli, the two most important beings in Onfaros are Xilian, who has undergone countless reincarnations, and the Titan Demigo, which is composed of her existence; and March 7, the cheerful member of the Starry Sky Train Group, and her other side, Changyeyue, who represents [oblivion].

"If I hadn't come into this world, they would be your only saviors."

Even without Zeus's guidance, the threads of fate still tightly bind the Star Train to Onphalus.

The method of "Forgetting" will cause Zandal to ignore Demyoga, and the ripples of the past will fill the thirteenth Titan, which will be the key to all victory.

"But the price to pay will be far heavier than it is now."

The Golden Blood will perish, Onphalos will crumble, and war and despair will utterly destroy this world. In any case, to prevent the data uploaded by the Rebirth from leaning towards the side of [Destruction] and the birth of the Iron Tomb of the Annihilation Lord, everything can be sacrificed, everything must be sacrificed.

Now that Zandal has granted permission, the cycle of fire-chasing can continue again, but how could Nanuk give up the destruction of "wrath"? Even though this cycle has been repeated millions of times, it is still the cycle that Nanuk values ​​most, and Nanuk will do everything in his power to make it the final output.

Nanuk obtained the Iron Tomb, and Fuli was able to retain the Demyoge. This was originally a win-win situation for both of them. Only the arrival of the pioneers could have derailed this win-win situation between the stars and the tragedy of Onpharos.

"So I came. Sacrifice cannot be changed, but I will save everything."

......

After concluding their conversation with Cerlydella, Zeus and Cerlydella returned to the group.

"Gentlemen, how did the conversation go?"

During Zeus's private conversation with Cerydira, Cyrus also gained a thorough understanding of the others. The most astute of them all, Cerhys, immediately realized that Zeus's plan was about to begin.

As night fell, Xiaodie went alone to Zeus's room.

"Are you prepared?"

Xia Die nodded gently; the passage of a thousand years had long since made her understand her own mission.

"To cleave the dead dragon and obtain the fire of death, to let the River Styx flow once more in Onphalus, and to let the dead find their rightful rest."

.......

Xi Lian was left by Zeus in the Garden of the Gods.

Zeus and the butterfly traveled together to the place where the girl was born on earth, to the original city-state of Stikosia, where her sister, the Titan of Death, Cynatos, had sent her.

After the dead dragon blocked the River Styx, its waters ceased to flow, and the restless souls, unable to die, flooded the city-state. Even though Ereshkigal arrived in time and used a spear cage to bring all the wandering souls back to her self-made underworld, the destruction of Stycosia could not be avoided.

After learning about this history, Xia Die felt deeply guilty towards the people of this city-state. Death is the rule of the world, but the deaths caused by her sister's desire to send her into the human world, which led to the destruction of this city-state, were a calamity caused by selfishness.

Since the souls of the dead had already been taken to another underworld by the spear cage, the two reached the highest point of the Stikosia city-state ruins without any hindrance.

"We've finally come this far, Xia Die, my lovely girl, everything depends on you now."

Xia Die nodded and brandished the scythe that represented death, her pupils filled with unwavering determination.

"I will end my destiny of 'death' here."

When the alchemical fire summoned it from its eternal slumber in the River Styx, the once mighty dragon's divine body had long since decayed into withered bones.

The grayish-white dragon bones were covered with deep fissures, and within each line flowed the dark purple waters of the Styx River. At its neck bloomed demonic flowers representing the power of death.

—It once surged onto the earth with the tides of the River Styx, branding all things with their destined end, causing the dying and the already dead to feel an instinctive fear of "the end" deep in their souls.

With the help of Zeus and others, the Butterfly's strength was now far greater than before. With just three slashes, the Death Dragon's last breath was cut off.

"ended."

This is the only time in a thousand years that the butterfly has sighed, for its final liberation.

The blocked River Styx flowed again, the road to the underworld was cleared, and the two set off together towards the underworld.

After a long journey, the two met their target, the Titan Senatos who controls death, who is also Polycia, the sister of Xia Die in her previous life.

"You must be the husband my sister chose."

As soon as Polycia spoke, a rare blush appeared on Xia Die's face, and she turned her head away shyly.

Although she did not express her feelings, Xia Die chose to spend her life with Zeus, and now she brought Zeus to see her last relative, the significance of which goes without saying.

Polycia reached into her chest and slowly pulled out the Titan fire that represented death.

"Then it's time to say goodbye. In my last moments, could you please hug me, sister? To bring 'death' its final rest."

In their final embrace, butterflies from the underworld danced, and the bright moonlight enveloped them both. In the stillness, even death found peace.

However, to Xia Die's surprise, when the butterflies dispersed, her younger sister, who should have been at peace, did not disappear.

After the initial surprise came panic. If the flame of death could not be returned, then creation could not proceed, and Onphalus would be driven to despair.

"Don't worry, you see."

The flame of death hovered in Zeus's palm, the mysterious runes remaining unchanged as before.

"How about I get a loving hug too?"

"of course."

The usually shy Xia Die was unusually proactive this time. Zeus was hugged by her and then felt the wetness of her lips.
