Chapter 527 The Spark of Conflict
"Cerseis? Me?"
Eve looked completely bewildered.
Serhith, isn't that the name of the Titan of Reason?
"So, that's how it is?" Xia Die also looked incredulous.
So, my mother was Cecilia?
No wonder he's so rational and can even control plants, even Nicardi can be instantly killed.
“That’s right, Cesis, I think you must have come here for me too.”
“Deal with this Titan who has lost all reason and gone mad,” Gnaeus said in a low voice.
He seemed to have anticipated this scene.
"I don't know what happened, but it's all worth it to fight against the Kuroshio."
“Cersis, take the fire from Nicardoli,” Gnaeus continued.
In the eyes of Gnaeus, no, it should be Nicardoli.
Eve is very rational, and her intelligence is evident in her. At the same time, she has the ability to manipulate plants, and the forest is captivated by her.
Even if it's not the real Ceres, it's still an incarnation of Ceres.
Therefore, facing her own madness, only she could defeat herself and retrieve the spark.
"I think you might have misunderstood something."
“I am neither Serhith nor the Titan of Reason,” Eve explained.
“I know.” Gnaeus didn’t rush to refute her, but continued, “Just know that you can kill Nicardoli, that’s enough.”
At this moment, Gnaeus no longer wanted to pursue the issue of his identity.
"And what about you, Lord Gnaeus?" Xia Die asked.
“I will return to my origin and become a fragment of the Titan divinity of the Nicardory’s strife.” Gnaeus looked up at the enormous statue before him.
That was his final resting place.
"Corrosion will probably engulf me, but this step is unavoidable in order to end the madness," he said with a self-deprecating laugh.
"Are you willing to make sacrifices for a future that you cannot witness?" Xia Die couldn't help but ask.
“That is my origin, my mission. I am no ordinary man, nor do I fear death—even so, are you going to weep for me?”
Xia Die sighed, "All partings in this world are sorrowful, Your Excellency."
“We haven’t known each other long, but I’ve already learned a lot from you. So, let me teach you a lesson before I leave,” Gnaeus suddenly said.
"Hear Ceres' words. Do not despise your talents, do not hate death. The journey is great, the epic is magnificent, because all things eventually pass away."
"As she said, life is an epic, and death is not the end."
Xia Die heard Gnaeus remain silent for a long time.
Eve, who was called on again, no longer intended to refute.
It was indeed a small misunderstanding, but nothing serious, so let's just let it continue.
Xia Die spoke again: "As the embodiment of 'strife,' are you telling me about the magnificence of the world? How ironic..."
“Civilization can only grow when it is placed under conflict. Man is born hating suffering, but only suffering can teach man to stand firm…” Gnaeus remarked.
“Cersith understands this better than I do.”
Eve gritted her teeth and said, "Gnaeus, I will do as you wish."
“See, she understands the meaning of all things better than you do. Follow her and let her be your inspiration.” Gnaeus did not understand Eve’s meaning at all.
"If you can bury me... promise me that you will use the fire as fuel to start a raging fire and continue to fight against the Black Tide."
Xia Die nodded blankly, "I... on behalf of all the Golden Descendants, grant your request."
Gnaeus nodded with satisfaction.
He turned to look at Eve.
“Cersis, I beg you, be their shield until the Golden Blood have gained enough power, until... they can stand shoulder to shoulder with us.”
After saying that, Gnaeus didn't give Eve a chance to speak and rushed straight towards the statue.
"I am the Spear of Divine Retribution, the Titan of the Nicardi Saga—the messenger of chaos, the embodiment of strife!"
"Remember—I am a necessary scar in this world!"
A flash of golden light, followed by a loud bang.
Gnaeus merged himself into Nicardoli's already corrupted soul.
At this moment, the gears of fate begin to turn, and the two timelines begin to merge.
The figures of Dan Heng, Bai E, and Wan Di transformed from ethereal to real.
Did you hear that?
"what?"
"They're back."
After Bai E finished speaking, Eve and Xia Die appeared.
They returned to the time and space that originally belonged to them.
"How is she?" Danheng asked eagerly after seeing Eve.
"We've found a solution."
Eve looked up at Nicardoli, who had broken free of his restraints.
Although she didn't know how long she had been gone, Nicardoli had already escaped the "echo" she had set up.
At that moment, Nicardoli hurled down a massive golden spear.
Then the ancient Gnaeus appeared and blocked the giant spear.
"Defeat me—"
"—Give me the ending a soldier deserves."
"it is good."
Eve nodded.
Nicardi was now in a berserk state, which proved that Gnaeus had re-integrated into Nicardi's body.
This also means that Nicardo's immortality has been broken.
"This is the true form of the Titans of the Nicardo's Strife? Unbelievable..."
By this time, Bai Er realized that they were now facing Nicardoli in his true form.
Although his immortality has been broken, it also means that Nicardi is now even stronger.
When the returns double, the risks also double.
"I thought we'd be fighting until the end of the era..."
Wan Di was now eager to fight.
He paid no attention to Nicardoli's strength; after years of fighting, this was the moment he had been waiting for.
“I promise you, Lord Gnaeus…”
"Your nightmare will end," Xia Die murmured to herself.
Gnaeus's words gave her a lot of inspiration.
"let's go!"
As Danheng finished speaking, everyone leaped out together, their target being Nicardoli in the air.
Eve then unleashed a Forest Echo.
A massive green beam of light shot straight at Nicardoli's face.
But at that moment, a golden spear descended from the Heavenly Punishment Blade high in the sky, firmly blocking Eve's beam of light.
"Should we utilize this mechanism?"
With his senses returning, Nicardoli no longer charged recklessly as before, but instead began to use technique.
"Let's take this opportunity and go!"
Bai Er used the wall as a springboard to quickly reach the air above Nicardoli.
Wan Di had already set up his forces below it.
The two attacked together, but were blocked by the two spears in Nicardoli's hands.
"The grotto-heaven transforms, a long dream ends in an instant."
A gust of wind swept around Danheng as he thrust out his spear, instantly shattering Nicardoli's shoulder armor.
"Retreat!"
Dan Heng shouted, and Wan Di and Bai E followed his instructions and immediately retreated.
A huge magic circle was flashing in the sky.
"Dense forest and countless stars."
The magic circle flashed with intense light, and countless missiles flew out from the circle, falling like nuclear bombs, instantly destroying everything, including Nicardoli. The entire Soul Forging Platform was reduced to ashes without a trace.
Nicardoli died in battle.
In the razed land, only a fragment of his remains, along with a flickering ember.
Before Bai E and the others could even rejoice, the "Heavenly Punishment Blade" produced a tremendous sound.
"not good!"
Even at the last moment, the Blade of Divine Retribution still launched an attack on the Holy City.
The spearhead emitted a golden beam of light, its target being the Dawn Machine of Ohm.
Meanwhile, Aglaya, far away in Ohm, was already prepared.
"My teacher—"
"--Now."
"We're here! We've always been here."
Tibo, Tian, and Tining flew to the Dawn Machine before the attack even arrived.
"Gate of a Hundred Realms! Open!"
The three shouted in unison, and the triangular Hundred Realms Gate opened first, instantly absorbing all the golden light streams. The Dawn Machine was not affected in the slightest.
The people in Ohma had no idea what had happened; they simply thought it was the earth beast turning over in its deep sleep.
After receiving news that Ohma was unharmed, Bai'er put down the communication tablet.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Finally, it's all over."
At this moment, everyone came to the source of the conflict.
"The Titans' Spark in the Conflict of Nicardi..."
Looking at the flame before him, Bai E felt a strange sensation welling up inside him.
He didn't pay much attention to it, simply attributing it to the aftereffects of the battle.
"Time flies, and it's been a long time since the last Titan fell..." Xia Die sighed.
"The Titans of Conflict, the 'Spear of Divine Retribution,' are no more; the Golden Blood have taken another step closer to the creation foretold by the oracle."
Wan Di scanned his surroundings. The once familiar Suspended Peak City now felt like a stranger to him.
"It's so quiet here it's suffocating... Without Titan here, this city feels so unfamiliar."
Bai E joked, "You've already exchanged blows with it hundreds of times... I guess your ears just haven't gotten used to this peace and quiet yet?"
Wan Di crossed his arms and snorted coldly, "Hmph. What's next?"
At this moment, Xia Die said, "Cersei, no, Mother has already made a promise with that Titan... The Golden Child will take away its flame and use it as fuel to light the way for the future."
Halfway through her sentence, Xia Die immediately changed her mind.
Eve didn't care about it.
It seems that Xia Die still believes Gnaeus's words.
Oh well, this beautiful misunderstanding will be cleared up with her when the time comes.
"You've communicated with the Titans of the Nicardo conflict...?" Bai'er asked, somewhat surprised.
Xia Die nodded. "Its madness is not an accident; it is defending the world against something."
"What did it say? I need to know..." Bai Er asked anxiously.
Xia Die shook her head, comforting Bai E, "No need to be anxious, Lord Wan Di. I will relay the message to you after we return to Ohema."
Hearing what Xia Die said, Bai E temporarily gave up the idea.
He looked at the fire again.
“Aglaia said…someone must touch and absorb the ‘Spark,’ temporarily becoming its vessel.”
"Wan Di, you..."
As he spoke, Bai E turned his gaze to Wan Di.
But Wan Di refused outright, saying, "This honor is yours. Isn't this the scene you've always longed for?"
Bai E seemed to have anticipated this.
"But you are more qualified than I am...you have a lot of new wounds on your body."
"If you knew how exhausting a fierce battle is..."
"You should understand even more that the last thing I want to do right now is to waste my breath."
All Wan Di wanted to do at that moment was lie in bed and get a good night's sleep.
Since Eve and The Butterfly went into the memories, the "echo" that had trapped Nicardoli has been released.
At first, Wan Di fought against him alone, and after an unknown period of time, he finally encountered Dan Heng and Bai E.
The three of them joined forces to fight the enemy and barely managed to suppress Nicardoli.
"At least argue with me a bit, right? Giving it away so lightly makes people think it's not a life-or-death matter," Bai E complained.
Wan Di didn't say anything, but gave Bai E a look that said, "You decide for yourself."
"Ok."
After understanding the exact meaning of "ten thousand enemies," Bai E did not insist any further and instead walked up to the fire seed.
"Spark—come with me, the heart of creation awaits your return."
Bai'e grasped the spark.
The spark also emitted a dazzling light at that moment, and then shot into Bai E's body with a whoosh.
Bai E closed his eyes, feeling the intense heat emanating from within his body.
"Are you alright, Bai'e?" Dan Heng asked.
Bai E shook his head and opened his eyes.
"It feels like nothing has changed."
"I should say... it was actually much easier than I imagined? I thought carrying the flame would require a much greater price to pay."
"Let's go back to Ohm. Let's bring the news of victory to the two demigods."
While Bai'er and the others were discussing, Eve suddenly heard a "misty" sound in her ear.
"Confused?" (Leave, companion? Go back, together?)
"Huh? When did you appear?" Eve turned her head and saw the pink mammal floating on her shoulder.
"Where did you just go?"
"Mimi?" (Just now?)
"Mmm, mmm!" (Memory, sleep!)
"She's asleep." Eve understood what Mimi meant.
"That's true. Taking us into past memories must be very taxing."
"Let's go back and get some more sleep."
Eve was about to leave with the main group when she noticed that Xia Die was standing still, showing no intention of leaving.
"What's wrong?" Eve asked as she stepped forward.
“Mom…” When Xia Die saw Eve, she was speechless for a moment.
Eve noticed something unusual about the butterfly.
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the back of the line. Be careful."
After saying that, Eve left with Mimi.
Xia Die watched Eve's retreating figure and murmured to herself.
"Mom... thank you."
