Zeus's grace is higher than the sky

"This must be my sister's first kiss."

After the initial impulsive passion subsided, Xia Die's face instantly turned red. She immediately broke free from Zeus's embrace and held her face in her hands, her fingertips gently tracing her lips as she recalled the moist sensation after the impulsive moment.

"Since my older sister is shy, it's my turn."

With her new body no longer needing a wheelchair, Polycia stood up and immediately took over the position that Xia Die had just left.

"Oh, and this is also indispensable."

Then, just like Xia Die had done, he kissed her.

"So, how am I different from my sister?"

Xia Die's emotions, which were just about to calm down, began to surge again at the sight of her sister's behavior.

"Then, brother-in-law, please take this fire back with you. Remember to visit me and my sister often."

"Lord Zeus, I entrust everything to you."

"Yes, enjoy this hard-won reunion. You won't have to wait long; Onpharos will soon be free from this misery."

Chapter 278 Bloodbath in the Senate

Zeus brought back the fire of death.

"Miss Xiadie and her sister have been reunited! That's wonderful!"

"Then let's move on to the next step."

Aglaia proposed restarting the fire-chasing journey at the council after a century, and publicly read the true oracle of Cephall.

The false veil was pierced in an instant, and the Senate's lie about returning to the Golden Age, which it used to deceive the citizens, was exposed. The only way to save all is through the re-creation of the world.

Without a doubt, the bill to restart the Fire Chase was passed by an overwhelming majority. The Senate, seeing its power rapidly slipping away and utterly losing its composure, resorted to the Purifiers and all the power buried within Onphalus for millennia in a final struggle.

However, at Zeus's behest, when Crydela's iron-blooded era came to an end, her followers, who had divided the four corners of Onphalus, annihilated and suppressed the Senate with a final, frenzied attack using the Black Tide.

"It's insane. People are willing to lose their humanity to this extent for power."

With a light touch of her jade-white fingers, a thousand miles of ice instantly appeared.

The complex and mysterious spells covered an area of ​​hundreds of miles, and the witch, who had obtained divine power through sacrifice, annihilated all the black tide monsters in the blink of an eye.

With a stroke of the brush, a blue dragon soared through the sky; with a clang of the hammer, twelve buildings in five cities rose from the ground, revealing a power that could shake heaven and earth.

......

All the backup plans and madness were extinguished before they could even begin to burn brightly, while the senators in the Senate, who were still pinning their hopes on external things, were still indulging in grandiose dreams.

"Once Aglaia is forced to go out and deal with those Black Tide monsters to remove the Golden Silk, we will order the Cleansers to take action and threaten the lives of all the citizens of the city to force her to commit suicide!"

“A hundred years from now, relying on rumors to smear her image as a villain who has sided with the Black Tide, Ohma will be back in our hands.”

"Unfortunately, your delusions have failed."

A discordant voice emerged, standing out starkly in the Senate, where members were envisioning a grand future.

"Who is it! Guards, guards!"

The elders instantly went on high alert, hurriedly calling for their guards to protect them. These Purifier guards had been trained into mindless puppets who only knew how to obey orders; they were highly skilled in martial arts and could carry out even orders to die without hesitation.

"No need to call anymore, they can't hear you anymore."

Golden threads slowly appeared in the Senate chamber, increasing in number until they completely enveloped the entire chamber.

"Aglaia, what are you doing? The Senate has existed since the founding of the city-state of Ohmar, and it is a symbol of Ohmar's glory and honor! What you're doing..."

Before he could finish speaking, his head had already exploded.

“The great ones are all the citizens of Ohma, not you bunch of parasites who occupy positions without doing anything and are greedy and insatiable. You are nothing but stains on Ohma.”

"No, impossible, why didn't the Black Tide take you...?"

Another splash of blood.

"Lord Zeus and I anticipated this. Where do you think the four generals from Caesar's time came from?"

"It's them, damn it, Caesar, they're still causing us trouble even in death, they really deserve to die."

After saying that, he breathed his last.

The elders who were still alive huddled together.

"Aglaia, that damned Golden Blood..."

Before he could finish speaking, his companion beheaded him with a sharp sword.

“Aglaia, no, Lady Aglaia, I can help you control the Senate’s purgers. They will be your sharpest daggers in the future. I am very useful. Please spare my life.”

"you......"

Seeing their colleague begging Aglaia for mercy in order to survive, the elders beside them, having completely lost their initial determination to fight to the end, also followed suit and begged Aglaia for mercy.

“My family controls the iron forging industry in Ohmma and can help you forge weapons to conquer the entire Onfaros!”

“My family controls the entire grain sales in Ohmma, which can bring you a continuous stream of gold coins.”

The elders all tried to demonstrate their "value" in order to save their lives from Aglaia.

Aglaia let out a long sigh.

“You parasites will never repent, not even until death.”

Food depends on farmers' cultivation, weapons come from blacksmiths' forging, and all production is simply controlled by these elders, not ceases to exist without them.

"Without you, I can only see a more prosperous and united Ohmma."

As the words fell, only the sound of liquid dripping remained in the entire Senate hall.

Even after leaving the Senate, Aglaia remained as elegant and romantic as ever, a goddess seemingly from another world.

"Is it over, seamstress?"

The one who came was Seifer, who would be returning to Ohma soon.

"It's all over, Sefaria. How were things? Did you have a good time these past few years?"

When Sephiroth first received Zeus's message to return to Ohma, she was shocked. She had already prepared herself to live a life of exile and never return to Ohma. Unexpectedly, just a few years later, Zeus told her that she could go back.

Then Cypher felt the sky collapse in a physical sense. After Aglaia revealed the prophecy that Cephalus left for Ohma in front of everyone, the false sky naturally revealed its true form.

"Is the rebirth coming so soon?"

Although Saifei had little formal education, she had been involved in gambling since childhood and was quite clever. She immediately understood the reason behind Aglaia's actions.

"Lord Zeus will bring back the fire that represents reason and death, and Sister Tyresibios will also offer up the fire of the path. What we need to do now is to obtain the fire of the world."

......

At this moment, a knight dressed in dazzling armor, accompanied by two winged beasts, appeared in the sky above Suspended Peak City.

"How dare you invade the territory of Suspended Edge City! Archers, fire!"

Countless arrows were fired at once.

But standing before them was the Golden Blood, the Sunlight Knight Seneos, who was on par with the Titans. How could ordinary mortals possibly harm her in the slightest?

The two winged beasts merely flapped their wings, and the resulting gusts of wind dispersed the rain of arrows that filled the sky.

"Step back. I don't want to cause unnecessary casualties."

Surrounded by a crowd, the King of the Suspended Blade Dynasty appeared before Seneos.

Seneos and the two winged beasts landed on the city wall.

Are you here to challenge me?

Everything in the Suspended Blade Dynasty can be obtained through duels in the arena, including the throne of Suspended Blade City.

“I’m not interested in that kind of thing.”

Seneos removed her helmet.

Upon seeing Seneos's true appearance, the King of the Suspended Blade was filled with disbelief.

Chapter 279 Conflict and the Ocean

“How is that possible, Seneos? You golden-blooded warrior who fought against the sky titan Aegler hundreds of years ago, shouldn’t you be dead?”

The nameless Golden Child, spared by Seneos, sang Seneos's legendary epic throughout Onphalus for centuries after returning to the earth.

Although the legendary epic vividly describes the moment when Seneos defeated Aegler, Seneos never appeared in the public eye, even when the nameless Goldenborn built the Court of Twilight on the earth in Seneos' name, she never showed herself.

Many speculated that Seneos might have died from her injuries while defeating Eger, or that she might have perished alongside Eger in that battle.

"Faced with such a legendary hero, even I feel like a babbling child. So, her arrival in Suspended Peak City... could it be..."

The strongest human in Suspended Peak City was like an infant before this golden-blooded hero who had defeated the Sky Titan Aegler. Therefore, there could only be one purpose for her coming here—the Titan of Strife, Nicardoli.

"It seems you understand. Then lead the way for me. I don't want to cause unnecessary casualties."

The soldiers of the Suspended Blade who had been blocking Seneos's way made way for the center of Suspended Blade City at the command of the Suspended Blade King, which was where Nicardoli was staying.

Although Nicardoli was being corrupted by the Black Tide, he still retained a sliver of reason.

After the King of the Suspended Blade led Seneos to the palace of Nicardoli and withdrew, Seneos opened the gate alone and entered the palace of Nicardoli.

With just one glance, Nicardoly saw through Seneos's origins.

“You bear the scent of Aegler. He was killed by you in his last moments, but you, the Golden Descendant, did not become a demigod of the sky. Clearly, you failed the trial of the Sky Fire Seed. Now you have come to seek my Fire Seed.”

Seneos, whose sore spot had been hit, was momentarily annoyed, for the truth was undeniable.

"Enough with the nonsense, raise your spear, Nicardoli, I've come to end your life!"

Nicardo nodded.

If Seneos can complete his trial, then the fire will be passed on to her; otherwise, we can only wait for our rational selves to find a suitable successor.

......

After Ceres removed the spark of reason, Zeus used lightning to reshape her physical body.

As for the trial of reason, it posed no obstacle for Zeus, who already knew the whole truth about Onphalus, and he passed it easily.

As for the Skyfire, it has been in the hands of Zeus and others since Seneos defeated Aegler. However, Seneos failed the trial of the Skyfire, so a Golden Child who can pass the trial is still needed.

The corresponding Golden Descendant was currently fulfilling her duty in the dimly lit courtyard, doing her utmost to treat the wounded and sick. At this time, she was still somewhat inexperienced and needed further refinement.

Zeus found Heather on a secluded beach not far from Ohma.

After personally executing Caesar and witnessing the Senate seize power, leading to the failure of the Fire Chase and further plunging ordinary citizens into misery, Hathaway developed strong self-doubt.

"Was what I did really the right thing?" Heather asked herself this question every day since leaving Ohma.

"Hailekula".

Hearing someone call her name, which had long been buried, Heather turned her head and her eyes met Zeus's.

At this moment, Hazel was swimming in the sea, having shed her clothes from the earth, leaving only her beautiful body.

Hathaway walked ashore, her fish scales transforming into clothing. She looked at the man before her, the man who had inexplicably appeared a few years before Caesar Crydela's death, and it was his appearance that made her resent Crydela.

"It's been a long time, Sword Flag Lord, you are still as beautiful and charming as ever."

What are you doing here?

"The journey to the fire has begun again; the Golden Blood need your strength."

Hazel nodded.

"I understand."

Even though she still has some reservations about her actions back then, there is one thing she has always agreed on—the journey to pursue the fire must continue.

"Oh, right, there's one more person who wants to meet you."

Hathaway looked at Zeus with some confusion.

During her time on Earth, her life revolved solely around Caesar and Crydela. Even Zeus only came to her memory because he suddenly appeared beside Caesar. Now that Crydela is dead, she has no idea who would be here specifically to see her.

“It is I, Hailequla.”

A short but majestic figure appeared from behind Zeus, her small crown burning with an inextinguishable blue flame. It was Crydera, who had already died once.
