Chapter 1243 Suspended Edge, Please Cleanse Your Blood Rust 4

Hearing the sounds of Wan Di and his group fighting again, Qiong knew they had to hurry, and he had already made his decision.

Gnaeus believed that Kyū understood the meaning of battle better than Yūdé, and perhaps he could be her inspiration. He asked the two of them to agree to his request:

"If you die by my spear, you need not try to understand these words; if you can bury me, promise me that you will use the fire as fuel to ignite a raging fire and continue to fight against the Black Tide."

On behalf of all the Golden Blood, Xia Die granted Gnaeus's request.

Upon seeing this, Gnaeus unleashed his power without hesitation: "I am the spear of divine retribution, Nicardoli—the messenger of chaos, the embodiment of strife!"

Remember—I am a necessary scar in this world.

Qiong: I inspired Xia Die? Really?

Aglaia: Lord Gnaeus is right. I think this time, Butterfly will understand a lot.

Xia Die: ...Do you understand? But I'm afraid I still won't accept death so easily...

Wan Di: Even if it's not an experience from our world, if I truly obtain the Spark of Conflict in the end, my god, I swear, my struggle against the Black Tide will never end.

Gnaeus, they all say we know each other, so I will surely believe your vow.

Bai E: ...Oh no, what do I do... I'm still waiting in the video... um...

Xia: Be good, go play somewhere else first.

Bai E: ?

That vow to return is so cool!

Qiong: 'I am a necessary scar in this world'—Thai Pants! But why do I have a bad feeling—wait? Are we going back to the 'future' already?!

As Nicardi's soul returned to its complete form, Qiong and Xiaodie were kicked out of their memory fragments and returned to the correct time. Meanwhile, Danheng, Bai'e, and Wandi were fighting against Nicardi's body.

The three also heard the sound of another time. Nicardi seemed to have noticed it as well and turned his attention to Sora. Just then, Gnaeus blocked the physical attack on Sora.

As he was torn apart, Nicardoli's soul merged with his body, returning him to wholeness: "Defeat me—give me the end a warrior deserves."

Bai E and Wan Di breathed a sigh of relief, especially Wan Di, who had thought they would be fighting until the end of the era.

After their hard-fought victory over Nicardoli, they did not expect that the opponent would use all his remaining strength to unleash a final blow (Akatsuki) on Ohma. The well-prepared Aglaia protected the Holy City, while Tibo and the other two used the Hundred Gates to transfer the energy that was enough to destroy the Dawn Machine.

Nicardi slowly dissipated; it no longer needed to wield its sword.

Qiong: I was so scared... Teacher Danheng passed through me!

Danheng: ...At this point, the past and the future should not have completely overlapped.

So it really was Gnaeus brought directly to the present... that's why he's a 'big shot' from the past, not someone who 'changed the past'.

March 7th: Qiong almost got critically hit by Nicardi when she wasn't paying attention...

Sora: I love you, Gneus!

Bartlus: Pfft~

Gnaeus: ...

Now the two periods of time can be considered completely overlapped.

Paimon: Wait… that voice…

Qiong: ...

Xia Die: Lord Gnaeus!

It's gone...it's really gone...

However, Nicardoli also became stronger, returning to his prime.

All Enemies: But we must deliver our God from this imprisonment, so we can certainly do it.

Xia Die: For Nicardoli, only ending his life could bring him relief, ending this long-standing madness and nightmare…

Paimon: But Gnaeus… QWQ Wow!

Wan Di: Bai E, I ask you, when you shouted for the last strike, was it meant to be released?

Bai'er: ...I was definitely talking about us!

Dan Heng: But it's clear that Nicardoli thinks so too.

Sora: Hey, at least Nicardi's last attack wasn't aimed at us—wait a minute!

March 7: He's going for Ohmma, you know!

Oh-He-Ma!

Xia Die: Let's trust Ms. Aglaia and Teacher Tibo...

Fujimaru Ritsuka: Actually, Nicardi's attack wasn't the final blow, but rather the final burst of light.

Doctor: Swordsman + beam attack... Oh! So Nicardi is Saber!

Gilgamesh: I do not agree. He is clearly an archer; his spear and sword are both fired.

So what exactly did Cephall do to Nicardoli...? Logically, once sanity returns, even if corrupted, shouldn't he regain some rationality before dying and say something to leave for his successor? Why is Nicardoli still thinking about fighting Ohma or Cephall? The focus seems to be on that ball.

Like I said before, for a hunter to hold a grudge to this extent... I'm getting more and more disgusted with Kefaller...

Or perhaps it wasn't Cephalus but a prophecy? I remember seeing those golden symbols around a sphere of light through Tinin's perspective?

Saifeier: So, we really can't let the Dawn Machine go?! @Gnaeus

Gnaeus: →_→

Aglaia: Do you know what's wrong with the Dawn Machine?

Saifeier: Cough cough, I'm not really sure either...

Bartluth: Stubborn!

Looking at the sparks of conflict, everyone had mixed feelings. For the Golden Descendants, it was a step closer to the creation of the world as foretold in the oracle.

Now that Wan Di is in Suspended Peak City, he finds the place eerily quiet and strangely unfamiliar after losing Titan.

Bai E couldn't help but complain, perhaps because he had fought thousands of rounds with Nicardoli before, and his ears hadn't gotten used to the quiet after the ceasefire.

Upon hearing Xia Die's agreement, Bai E was somewhat surprised, not expecting that they had communicated with Nikadoli. Wan Di hurriedly asked the two what Nikadoli had said, and Xia Die promised to relay Nikadoli's situation to him after returning to Ohema.

The current focus is on the Fire Seed. Aglaia once said that someone needed to temporarily contain the Fire Seed as a vessel. After consulting Wan Di, Bai E took the Fire Seed, and the group prepared to return to Ohma.

Xiaodie told them to go ahead, and she stayed behind alone, trying to find out Cenatos's whereabouts through Nicardoli. However, she hadn't expected that even the Titans of Strife hadn't seen Cenatos. From now on, she would have to find him herself. But before that, she would first send Nicardoli to a gentle paradise filled with flowers.

Good grief, is Bai'e saying that the noise from the previous battle with Wan Di was too loud, which is why he's not used to the sudden quiet environment now?

It has to be said that the sound was really loud; after all, Qiong and the others could hear it even across time and space.

Traveler: But mostly it started because, although Nicardoli had gone mad, for the people of Suspended Peak City, it was a symbol of their faith and glory, and now it was suddenly gone… It's hard not to feel emotional…

I understand, it's just like how I felt when I first saw the Emperor... appear out of nowhere in a shell.

Qiong: Upon hearing Xia Die mention her promise with Nicardo, Wan Die went from merely turning her head to turning her entire body to look at Xia Die →_→

Bai'er: ...It's clear that Wan Di is very concerned about why Nicardoli became like that later.

His tone became anxious.

Given the similarities in personality between Wan Di and Gnaeus, they are probably the two who understand each other best.

All Enemies: There's no need to relay this now... I already know that the glory of my God has never been abandoned by Himself.

Saifeier: Why are the savior and the little prince still arguing over who gets to keep the fire?

Qiong: Is there going to be a plot point next where Wan Di chooses to accept the fire?

Wan Di: Why?

March 7: Just by looking at the PV, I can tell you're involved in the strife, and the White Calamity isn't over yet!

Bai'er: But the plot is... completely different from ours. The only thing we can do now is try to confirm the whereabouts of our Titans and how to find them through the videos... Even that might be different, but it's better than having no clues at all.

Aglaia: Indeed... but we should also note down some details or metaphors, they might come in handy.

Bai'er: Hmm! I understand, Ms. Aglaia.

But then again, Xia Die and Genneus's final communication... uh... are they really not going to call on Wan Di?

Wan Di: ...Xia Die is looking for Nicardo, probably to find out about Senatos's situation.

Xia Die: Hmm, if it were me, I would definitely do that... After all, Senatos is Nicardi's most steadfast ally and companion, presumably...

Bai'er: Okay, he doesn't know either.

Gnaeus: →_→ 'I' really don't know.

March 7: The Half That Was Taken Away?

Doctor: According to Greek mythology, she corresponds to two pairs of twin gods, and the other half mentioned here is most likely her twin brother or sister.

Xia Die: I don't remember...

Saifeier: But Nicardoli has never seen Senatos... That's strange, isn't that completely different from the myths and legends of Onphalus?

Bai'er: Uh, maybe it's because Nicardoli always sends people to see Senatos?

March 7th: →_→ It seems that's indeed the case... although it's a bit devilish.

Nicardi also reminded Xia Die of their earlier agreement to inherit the flame and fight against the Black Tide.

Wan Di: If it is truly up to me to take on the sparks of conflict, then I will go.

Bai E: No matter who it is, we will fight against the Black Tide.

Bai'e brought the fire to Aglaia and Tibo. Aglaia was very satisfied to see the new fire, and they would soon have a new demigod.

Bai'er hesitated. He now believed that Wan Di was more suitable for the spark of conflict, but Aglaia told him that what he had said might be the very reason why Medemus was unwilling to take over the spark.

Aglaia had no doubt about Wan Di's power and aptitude, and the scene of becoming a god must have been rehearsed a thousand times in his mind. However, the reason he declined was precisely because he did not want to lead his people down the same path again.

Upon hearing this, Bai'e agreed to embrace the seeds of conflict and become a demigod of conflict.

So they agreed that at the same time the next day, the Golden Blood would gather at the center of the cosmic vortex to return the flame of Nicardori, the spear of divine retribution.

Qiong: What do you mean by not having any missing limbs or broken legs? Bai E, have you ever considered the possibility that we would come back incomplete?

Bai'er: Cough cough... Didn't I come back safely?

'Scalding embers'

But Aglaia said she could feel the temperature of the fire, so this thing really is hot?

A spark, a journey to chase fire... And you know what, this thing is indeed flame-shaped, and it's not impossible that it's actually hot.

Bai'e: Of course it's hot, otherwise why would it be called a spark? This is something both the demigods and the Tree Court have confirmed.

March 7: It's normal for a demigod to know, but how did Tree Court confirm it?

That summer: For the fire of Cersis was placed in the tree garden.

Kaze: Ahem, of course, the spark isn't something that can be openly researched, but... um... Tree Garden... is a gathering place for academics...

Traveler: This is something that the academics of the ecclesiastical school, like Elhesen, probably understand best—their happiness.

Black Tower: Tsk, if only the machine head could be on a space station... or at least in a permanently stationed area...

Doctor Truth: At that time, geniuses will probably build laboratories around Him.
