Star Iron, my clone is taking over Onpharos

Above the cosmic vortex, there should have been the image of twelve Titans. Each time a Titan's flame was retrieved, this Titan image would be illuminated.

That's how it should be in theory.

But now, the pattern belonging to the Titans of Strife has completely disappeared from the sky above the vortex of creation.

Above the sky, there were only images of eleven Titans.

Seeing this, Bai Yuan was surprised by the magnitude of the reaction when his clone devoured Nicardoli. He had intended to devour it secretly, but now it had escalated to an enormous size.

"It seems we'll need to be more cautious next time."

Bai Yuan thought to himself.

As for giving up on devouring them, he certainly wouldn't do that.

Putting aside the fact that his power was constantly increasing after absorbing the Titan's Fire Seed, Bai Yuan simply couldn't resist the desire to become stronger and safer.

Even if it meant stopping the journey to the fire, something he really wanted to see.

He would absolutely not allow Xia Die to enter the Underworld and thus separate from him.

If you directly obstruct her, Xia Die will not agree, and Aglaia will certainly not agree either.

Bai Yuan has now discovered that there are other methods.

If the Titans are missing, then the journey to the fire is naturally impossible.

As for how to save the world, Bai Yuan is now relying on the fact that he has enough cheat codes.

"It would be best if we could also devour that Annihilation Lord, that would be even better."

Bai Yuan thought to himself.

Saifei's face showed a rapid thought: "How could it disappear? Even if that dark monster devoured Nicardi's fire, it should have become a demigod or something similar. I wouldn't be surprised if it even became a new Titan."

"But, to devour and digest the Titan's fire. This is just too bizarre no matter how you look at it."

As Saifeier was saying this, she suddenly remembered Bai Yuan. She quickly went over, grabbed Bai Yuan's hand, and brought him to Aglaia and Tibo.

"By the way, take a look at Yuanzi's condition. Just now, his body's energy was gradually increasing. Do you think this is related to the disappearance of Nicardoli's spark?"

"Is Xiao Yuan's energy surging?" Ti Bao stretched out her palm towards Bai Yuan and began to examine the energy in Bai Yuan's body.

“This energy is undoubtedly Nicardi’s energy.” Tibo said thoughtfully. She glanced at the sky, then at Bai Yuan.

What is the relationship between these two?

How should the journey to chase the fire continue?

“The Titans’ spark has disappeared, but the energy within Xiao Xiaoyuan’s body remains. Moreover, this energy is constantly increasing, causing Xiao Xiaoyuan’s strength to improve.” Tibao began to ponder.

Aglaia's gaze was also fixed on Bai Yuan.

With the flame of the Titan of Strife gone, the power within Bai Yuan has become almost the last straw for this journey to pursue the flame.

Tibo's expression grew increasingly conflicted as she considered various possibilities.

“My teacher…”

"Lord Tibao..."

"Ms. Tibo..."

Aglaia, Serfie, and Xia Die all stared intently at Tibo.

“I have a theory now,” Tibo said slowly.

"Lady Tibao, what's your guess? Is it dangerous for Bai Yuan's body?" Xia Die quickly asked Tibao upon hearing this.

“If my guess is true, it will only benefit Xiao Xiaoyuan’s body.” Tibo continued to explain her guess: “I think after the Nicardi’s fire disappeared, the remaining Titan energy in the air used Xiao Xiaoyuan as its last vessel.”

Chapter 60 Bai Yuan: I Attack Myself? [Third Update]

"The final vessel?" Xia Die looked at Ti Bao, wanting to know what she was trying to say.

“Little Butterfly, the power of the Titan of Strife in the entire Onpharos isn’t just confined to His Spark. There’s also much Titan of Strife energy circulating elsewhere, among His Familiars,” Tibo said thoughtfully.

"Without the spark, the Nicardi energy in the air would unconsciously gather together due to emotions similar to fear, which are common to humans. But Xiao Yuan has obtained the energy from the Blade of Heavenly Punishment, which is much greater than other energies. The Nicardi energy, thinking this place is safe, will naturally be attracted to it."

Bai Yuan never expected that Ti Bao would give such an explanation.

However, after careful consideration, he realized that what she said was not entirely unfounded.

The energy in his body doesn't actually come entirely from what his clone absorbed and then transferred to his main body. There is also a lot of free-floating energy that enters his body and becomes his own energy.

The only mistake Tibo made was in getting Yueyi*'s initial energy source. But that was also incorrect information she herself had given her.

"Yuanbao, judging from your expression, is what Lady Tibao said true?" Feng Jin asked, noticing Bai Yuan's expression.

Bai Yuan nodded.

“That’s right, Sister Tibo is not wrong. I do feel the energy in the air gathering towards my body.”

Tibao patted her chest and said to Bai Yuanxia, ​​"In that case, Xiaodie won't have to worry about Xiao Yuan's physical condition. He's just experiencing a sudden increase in energy right now, and he'll adapt eventually. This energy will only benefit his body."

Hearing that the increased energy would not harm Bai Yuan but would instead enhance his strength, Xia Die felt relieved.

Sai Feier patted Bai Yuan on the shoulder: "Yuanzi, I didn't expect your strength to improve. It seems I should explain the benefits of being a thief to you."

Xia Die's heart tightened again, and she silently moved closer to Sai Fei'er.

Saifei could only hide.

Aglaia looked at Tibo and continued to ask, "Then, my teacher, Bai Yuan might..."

"Aya, do you want Xiao Yuan to become stronger through his own efforts and thus obtain the rebirth of the Titan of Strife, so that he can also become a demigod?"

Bai Yuan was taken aback.

What? You're talking about becoming a demigod on your own?

Xia Die and Sai Fei'er had complex expressions in their eyes.

Tibo continued, "There is a chance, but the probability is very low. First of all, the free-floating Nicardi energy is definitely not enough. To make his body have enough energy, we must deal with that dark humanoid monster. Moreover, even if we deal with that dark monster and make Xiao Yuan's body have enough energy, having enough energy does not mean that he can become a new Titan."

"Having enough energy doesn't mean he can become a demigod."

If having enough energy were enough to become a demigod or a Titan, then Ohma would certainly not be like it is now, with only Aglaia and Tirispyos as demigods.

Aglaia closed her eyes and slowly said, "We still have to keep going. Regardless of whether Bai Yuan can become a new demigod, we must at least kill that dark monster first, and then let Bai Yuan absorb it."

As Aglaia spoke, she looked at Bai Yuan.

"Bai Yuan, you may need to increase your strength during this period. If necessary, it would be best to deal with that monster personally. That way, you can absorb it as soon as possible."

"Yes, Lady Aglaia, I understand."

Hearing Aglaia's words, Bai Yuan felt very strange.

Solve your own problems.

This is really awkward.

……

Seeing that nothing was amiss, Bai Yuan and the others left.

Bai Yuan's body was still burning up. Even though he knew there was nothing wrong, it was best to go back and rest until his temperature stabilized.

Once again, only Tibo and Aglaia remained at the heart of the creation vortex.

Tibo looked at Aglaia, and a smile actually appeared on her lips.

"Master, what is the meaning behind your smile?" Aglaia looked at Tibo's smile with a puzzled expression.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Aya show such normal human emotions."

Tibo said with a smile.

“Master, please stop joking. The Journey of Chasing Fire is facing such a huge problem now, and I am still full of uncertainty about the future.”

Aglaia gave a wry smile.

“Aya, things can always be resolved. Constantly worrying and looking miserable will only make things worse. Aya, why don't you take this time to take a nice bath and then get a good night's sleep? Maybe when you wake up, something unexpected will happen.”

Tibo reached out and took Aglaia's hand.

"Let's go, Aya. Although I can't go to the bath with you, I can still keep you company while you take a bath."

"Alright, my teacher."

In the end, Aglaia went with Tibbo to the Hero's Bath for a good soak.

This was the first time she had felt panicked during her long journey of chasing fire, and she definitely needed to rest and recuperate.

……

Outside the Cloud Stone Palace, Sai Feier looked at Bai Yuan and couldn't help but remind him, "Yuanzi, let me remind you, you must not rush to absorb those energies. If you can't become a demigod of the Conflict, this journey of chasing fire can't continue. As long as the journey of chasing fire doesn't take place, Xia Die won't need to consider becoming a demigod. Most importantly, I myself won't have to face my destiny."

At first, Cypher was shocked by the disappearance of the Titans of Strife, but after the initial shock, she became happy.

With the Titans of Strife gone, how can the Journey of Fire continue?

"This is something that Bai Yuan should decide for himself," Xia Die said, looking at Sai Fei'er.

However, her eyes also held a complex expression.

She wasn't sure whether she should let Bai Yuan do as Aglaia suggested.

"Let's not think too much about it now," Bai Yuan said, pulling Xia Die's hand.

The most crucial thing now is something else entirely.

"What's the matter?" Sai Fei'er asked Bai Yuan.

"Of course we should go back and rest." Bai Yuan pointed to his still burning cheeks. "If we stay any longer, I feel like I'm about to faint."

Although his body was burning up, Bai Yuan was far from fainting. He said this mainly to check on the current condition of his clone.

Having absorbed Nicardi's clone for so long, it's time for it to stretch its legs.

Chapter 61 Bai Yuan: Katniss, are you coming or not? [Fourth Update]

Back home, Xia Die had Bai Yuan lie down on the bed.

After Bai Yuan lay down, Xia Die touched his forehead and found that his body was still burning up. She quickly said to Bai Yuan, "Bai Yuan, lie down by the bed. I'll stay by your side. If you need anything, just call me."

"I've always been here."

Xia Die's hands were icy cold, which made Bai Yuan, who was burning up all over, feel a sense of comfort.

"If I didn't have to check on my clone's status right now, I would definitely want to get a good night's sleep."

Bai Yuan thought to himself.

He closed his eyes as if to rest, and his right eye began to shift its perspective. Soon, Bai Yuan saw a dilapidated and incomplete building in his field of vision.

Not far from Suspended Peak City, Bai Yuan's clone found a secluded spot to rest after devouring the Titan of Strife. Meanwhile, with the Titan of Strife gone, Suspended Peak City experienced even more violent tremors. Most of the city had already collapsed.

Bai Yuan's clones were now half-buried. Bai Yuan manipulated his clones to swing their fists, shaking apart the surrounding broken walls and ruins.

Only after doing all this did he have time to properly examine his clone.

The first change is in the clone's height. It has now grown to a full four meters tall, its body is much larger, and its terrifying blackness and bloodshot eyes are even more frightening than before.

Its body shape has also changed somewhat. Although it hasn't become the same as Nicardi, its arms and limbs have become longer and more flexible.

This is a shift in direction that makes the body more suitable for combat. Bai Yuan clearly felt that it would be more convenient and faster for his clones to fight against people, and the force of his swings would also be greater.

The scythe grew even larger in conjunction with the increase in the size of Bai Yuan's clone. It also seemed to become sharper and more pointed. Bai Yuan swung it forward lightly, and the solid walls of Xuanfeng City were as easily sliced ​​through as a sheet of paper before the scythe wielded by his clone.

Feel the energy and special abilities within your body.

Nicardi is a Titan who governs conflict, and his power is concentrated in war. Bai Yuan now feels that his clone is transmitting a great deal of combat techniques to him.

These are all combat skills that Nicardo acquired through countless battles.

Bai Yuan felt like he had suddenly become a skilled warrior.

The only difference is that Nicardi's fighting techniques are primarily tailored to his several-meter height. If Hakugen wants to use them in his true form, he'll need some self-improvement.

"After a few more battles, you'll be able to get the hang of it."

Besides combat skills, Bai Yuan also clearly felt the aura-like increase in morale that he gained after absorbing Nicardo, making himself and his subordinates fearless.

At the height of Nicardi's power, He led His forces to attack countless city-states. During these attacks, His subordinates fought bravely, showing no fear of death. This was undoubtedly due to Nicardi's command abilities, but His power over conflict also included the blessing of high morale.

"It's a pity I don't have any subordinates, so I can only use this ability on myself. In battle, I have to slightly abandon my rationality in exchange for a berserk state."
