Xing Tie: Wait a minute! How come Weng Xing has two saviors?

The fragments of memories, shimmering like shattered stars, burst violently from his pierced wound, but as if drawn by some invisible force, they quickly flowed back and were forcibly absorbed back into his body.

"Unfortunately... the gathered power was not concentrated enough to kill in one blow." A calm female voice, tinged with regret, rang out.

Behind Caiuslana, the complete avatar of the "Rational" Titan Thersis, composed of light and runes, appeared! Her posture remained elegant, but her eyes were filled with wisdom and decisiveness.

"It really is all thanks to that clever little fellow named Feng Jin," Cesis said, glancing at Feng Jin, who was slightly out of breath from successfully casting a spell not far away.

"While you were locked in fierce combat, she realized that the most urgent task was to ensure the safety of the Flame. She risked everything to reunite the three scattered fragments, thus completing the initial activation of the 'Rationality' Flame. It is precisely through this newly formed, complete authority that I was able to gather enough power in this short time to deliver this blow to you."

“The ‘rational’ Titan, Sersis…you haven’t truly and completely perished after all?” At that moment, Xia looked at the unexpected scene before him, his eyes flashing with shock and doubt, but the battlefield was changing in an instant, leaving him no time to delve deeper.

He seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and unleashed the full power of the alchemical array that had been secretly accumulating strength!

Intricate geometric light patterns instantly illuminated a corner of the hall. Within the magic array, scorching "magic bullets" composed of highly compressed magic power and alchemical substances shot out as if they were alive!

They did not fly in a straight line, but were guided by the power of the magic array, drawing countless unpredictable trajectories in the air, covering Caiuslana from all directions like a storm!

With an alchemical barrage of attacks from the front and a fatal blow from the Titan Avatar from the rear, Caiuslana seems to be at a complete disadvantage.

But at this critical moment between life and death, what was he looking at?

His cold, metallic mask tilted slightly. His gaze pierced through the chaotic battle, past the whistling barrage of bullets, and landed not far away—on Bai E, his "this time around."

He saw Bai'e, with an urgent and undisguised concern, pull the extraterrestrial girl named Xing up from the ground and carefully check if she was injured. Xing returned his gaze, as if to reassure him that she was alright.

They... have become true companions who can rely on each other for support.

In that instant, Caislana's aura seemed to loosen slightly. The tangible coldness and resoluteness that had always surrounded him dissipated somewhat.

And so... he was truly at ease.

Chapter 224 Serhith: "Hunting"? What's that?

So, just as Sersis was preparing to launch her second attack, and Xia's alchemical barrage was about to hit them, under the watchful eyes of Bai E and Xing, among others—

Caiuslana neither parried nor dodged, nor even glanced at anyone present. His figure vanished like a wiped-away ink stain in a slight ripple of space.

They left no words behind, nor did they show any reluctance.

He left the battlefield just like that, decisively and cleanly.

"He... he just left like that?" Xing stared at the spot where Caislan had disappeared, blinking in disbelief. "One second he was fighting us to the death, and the next second he just... simply vanished?"

Bai'er sheathed his two-handed sword, his brow still furrowed, trying to analyze the other's unusual behavior: "Perhaps... he's also feeling fear. After all, we now have a true Titan as an ally." He looked at Ceres's avatar, his tone tinged with uncertainty.

"Furthermore, recalling the battle just now, it took him so long to deal with you. Perhaps his strength isn't as unfathomable as we thought?"

Upon hearing this, Xing's attention was quickly drawn to Titan, who had just offered his assistance.

She looked at Ceres with curiosity, but when her gaze clearly captured Ceres' kind, compassionate face and demeanor, her heart skipped a beat, and an absurd thought slipped out:

"Seriously... Shouldn't 'Hunter' Star God Lan really come over and send some 'Big Rockets' to Onfaros as a token of appreciation? You... look way too much like 'Abundance' Star God Pharmacist, don't you?"

"Lan? Pharmacist? What do these mean?" Sersis's aura flickered slightly, revealing a hint of confusion, but she didn't delve into these unfamiliar titles. Her tone turned serious and urgent.

“Son of man, now is not the time to discuss appearances. I can clearly sense an extremely large black tide surging toward the Garden of Divine Enlightenment.”

"Huh? So fast?" Bai E was surprised upon hearing this, his face filled with confusion. "According to the intelligence we received before, the Black Tide that escaped the net should have taken at least half a day to reach the outer perimeter of the Tree Garden..."

However, before his doubts could subside, Cersei had already floated to the edge of the Enlightenment Throne platform. She stretched out her finger, pointing into the distance.

"It's too late to question, Son of Man. The Black Tide Creatures are already at our gates. And, as I said... it's a 'huge wave'."

Everyone looked in the direction she pointed, and in an instant, everyone's breath caught in their throats.

At the top of the tree-lined courtyard, the view is incredibly expansive.

All they could see on the distant horizon was an endless, surging, pitch-black wave, like darkness swallowing up light, spreading toward the Divine Enlightenment Tree Garden at an alarming speed!

It wasn't a few hundred or a thousand, but a destructive torrent formed by countless, densely packed black tide creations! Their twisted forms trampled the earth, and wherever they passed, even the light seemed to be sucked away.

“How could this be… such a small number…” Feng Jin’s face was deathly pale, her voice trembling slightly, “The intelligence said… it was clearly just a small group of routed remnants…”

Sersis's light and shadow swayed slightly in the wind, and his calm voice revealed the truth: "The black-clad swordsman who just left was shrouded in an extremely dense aura of black tide. I'm afraid... all the filth around the Tree Garden has been attracted by his black tide as a directional indicator."

Bai E watched as the rapidly approaching black tide seemed poised to engulf everything, then abruptly turned, his gaze fixed firmly on Xing:

"Partner! The situation is critical. I must immediately go to the front line to stop the first wave of Black Tide Creatures and buy time for the people to evacuate! You and Teacher Tian, ​​immediately organize all the scholars of Tree Court to evacuate to the Holy City of Ohma through the Hundred Realms Gate!"

“Let me go with you, Bai’er.” Walter Yang stepped forward, his cane striking the ground, his eyes behind his glasses calm and resolute. “Faced with an enemy of this size, it’s always good to have more strength. I am willing to do my part.”

“I’ll also help people evacuate. Mr. Walter is right, it’s always good to have more help.” Feng Jin also stepped forward bravely.

There was no time for further debate; the simple division of labor was completed in an instant. Tian, ​​Xing, and Walter followed Bai'er, and the four of them quickly rushed down from the Enlightenment Throne, throwing themselves into the tense task of organizing the evacuation and the frontline blocking.

At this moment, only the incarnations of Cherish and Serhith remain atop the empty Throne of Enlightenment.

“Titan,” Naksha’s sharp gaze fell upon the shadowy figure of Sersis, “Given this situation, do you have a good plan to repel the enemy?”

"Oh?" A subtle ripple seemed to appear on Ceres's light and shadow, tinged with a hint of amusement. "So, even a sage who has always shown no reverence for the Titans will seek their help in times of crisis?"

“But unfortunately,” her tone shifted to a faint regret, “my true self perished long ago in the distant past. What remains here now is merely a wisp of soul clinging to life by relying on the embers of 'reason.'”

“If you were facing a single, powerful enemy, I could still gather my strength and launch a surprise attack. But facing these tens of thousands of surging, cataclysmic black tide creations… my remaining strength is probably insufficient to meet your expectations, wise man.”

"Heh, as expected." Upon hearing this, Xia's face did not show much disappointment or annoyance, but rather seemed to confirm some kind of guess.

He chuckled softly, straightened his scholar's robe sleeves, and turned to walk down the steps, preparing to set up a defensive line on his own.

“Interesting.” Cecis’s voice rang out again, tinged with curiosity. “Son of Man, judging from your tone, you don’t seem to be in despair. You sound… like you have another plan? Could it be that you are hiding some unknown power? Like the protagonist in that popular novel called ‘One-Punch King’ in the library of Tree Garden?”

Xia paused after descending a few steps, letting out a sneer without turning her head:

"Ha. Read less of those nonsensical novels and more serious classics, Titan of 'Reason'."

His voice regained its usual calm and certainty, carrying an almost arrogant confidence:

“I have no hidden power. I simply believe in the humans of Onfaros, and in the ‘Caesar’ of Ohma, that she would never stand idly by and watch her sworn-to-protect people be so easily swallowed up by the Black Tide.”

"Huff...huff...hold on a little longer...hold on a little longer..." Bai E leaned on his sword, and in front of him, the Black Tide Creation continued to surge like an endless dark wave.

Their roars and crawling sounds converged into a wave of despair that filled everyone in Tree Garden.

Walter stood beside him, the Star of Eden in his hand shining with an unprecedented brilliance.

Even the space around it has begun to distort slightly due to its immense gravity.

Walter stared solemnly at the seemingly endless torrent of monsters, his eyes behind his glasses beginning to weigh whether he should use his true power.

Chapter 225 This is Caesar of Ohma, the demigod of the "Law"—Cerudela.

A crisis is imminent! A few Black Tide Creatures have already broken through their barely maintained defenses, roaring as they rush towards the scholars who are frantically evacuating deep within the Tree Garden!

At this critical moment——

A Hundred Realms Gate that did not exist before was precisely "embedded" in the center of the battlefield.

The next moment, a figure that Xing didn't think was tall, and was even a little petite, stepped out of the door with composure.

Krydella took her first step in the Tree Garden.

As she stepped down, the royal staff in her hand suddenly burst forth with unparalleled "law" radiance!

She didn't even look at the surging monsters, but simply waved her cane lightly at the black tide rushing towards her—

"Boom——!"

The earth changed instantly! It was as if it had been "planned" in a flash by some supreme power!

The vast land in front of her, along with the black tide creations on it, was instantly divided and reshaped into neat, huge square fragments!

As for those Black Tide creations directly affected by the power of this rule?

They didn't even have time to utter a final lament before they were captured like chess pieces on a board, turning into dust indistinguishable from the earth, utterly vanishing.

Then, Cerberus took her second step in the Tree Garden.

"In the name of Caesar..."

The cool and authoritative voice was not loud, but it clearly resounded throughout the entire battlefield.

As she spoke, an enormous, illusory chessboard suddenly unfolded around her, covering the entire Divine Enlightenment Tree Court and the surrounding battlefield!

The black and white squares divide the real world into small blocks.

Whether it's the Black Tide army still roaring and charging outside the Tree Garden, or the stragglers who have already broken into the Tree Garden and are about to pounce on the helpless scholars.

At this moment, all their movements froze, as if locked by an invisible framework, each individual being forcibly stuffed into an independent chessboard square!

The entire battlefield was transformed into a static chessboard, at the mercy of others.

"...You are all doomed to lose everything!!!"

"Boom--!"

A dull thud, as if striking the very foundation of all things!

Cerudela gripped the staff that symbolized "the king" and slammed it heavily onto the ground.

Starting from where the staff struck, a layer of pale blue flame ripples spread rapidly like water, instantly engulfing every corner of the entire illusory chessboard!

"boom----!!!"

At the same moment, pale blue flames violently rose from within the chessboard grid that sealed off countless creations of the Black Tide!

There were no screams, no struggles, only a deathly silence of burning.

The flames seemed to be directly enforcing the law of "erasure." Tens of thousands of Black Tide creations, in this silent blue firelight, were like stains erased by an eraser, quickly turning into ashes and disappearing without a trace.

From the moment she stepped out of the Gate of a Hundred Realms to the moment the Black Tide vanished into nothingness.

Keludela only took two steps in the Divine Enlightenment Tree Garden.

However, in this brief, almost negligible period of time...

She left everyone in the Tree Garden with only the blue flames that seemed capable of purifying the entire world.

Powerful, majestic, with an air of absolute control, and... well, why does she seem to have a hint of heartache on her face?

But never mind, this is the "Caesar" of Ohma, this is the demigod of the "Law"—Ceredra!!!

After the last wisp of azure flame quietly dissipated in the air, the Divine Enlightenment Tree Garden fell into a brief silence once more.

The oppression and chaos brought by the previous Black Tide have been completely cleansed by the power of Krydella.

Xing involuntarily lowered her head, her gaze falling on Krystra's exquisite yet undeniably dignified face, and she felt utterly shocked.

"This little dwarf... is his strength really that terrifying? Did I really misjudge him before?"

Krystal glanced at Star with keen insight, seemingly seeing through her thoughts, but she said nothing.

Just then, Ceres, composed of the radiance of reason, drifted in.

She stood before Crydella, her eyes, though always closed, seemed to pierce through appearances and directly observe the essence of the world.

"Son of Man," Cecily's voice held a hint of barely perceptible inquiry, "did you just wield... authority derived from the 'Law'?"

Krystalla raised her head slightly; despite her height disadvantage, she was in no way inferior in terms of presence.

“Indeed. Is there a problem, Lord Thersius, Titan of Rationality?” There was a hint of wariness in her tone.

After all, it is extremely unusual for a Titan who only has a spark left to retain a clear sense of self.

"Problem? Not really." Cecis's body trembled slightly, but her voice remained calm, revealing no emotion.

"It's just that I sensed something... 'abnormal.' Even among us Titans, there was Tarantun himself, who once wielded the 'Law.'"

"After using such a powerful force that covered such a wide area as you just did, you should definitely not be as calm as you are now."

Because Cerith's eyes remained closed, Cerith could not discern the ancient Titan's true intentions from his gaze, nor could she know whether his words were driven by pure academic curiosity or a deeper probing.

After a moment's thought, she decided to set aside the topic for the time being and focus on the current priorities.

“Lord Serhith, I think your questions can perhaps be discussed at a later time.” Crydella’s voice regained the composure and decisiveness of a ruler.

"The most urgent task is for you and all the scholars of the Divine Enlightenment Tree Court to move to Ohema. There, the Dawn Machines provide protection, which can not only resist the Black Tide's renewed invasion, but also better guard against the possible covetousness of that 'Fire Thief'."

"Your safety and the integrity of the fire are of utmost importance to Onpharos."

"Hehe..." Cecis let out a light yet all-knowing laugh. "Little girl, your words sound quite noble. If you want to keep an uncertain factor like me under your nose for close surveillance, just say so. Why beat around the bush?"

Her tone carried a calmness born of experience, tinged with a hint of mockery: "However, I have no objection to this. After all, as you can see, I am now merely a remnant soul clinging to life by the flame, and indeed... far from being a match for you, the mighty 'Caesar'."

Krydella remained expressionless, showing no embarrassment at having her thoughts exposed. She simply replied calmly, "You flatter me. This is merely the safest arrangement, nothing more."
