Chapter 627
"That's... an experimental subject..." Gnaeus frowned, staring at the follower in the distance who had a strange figure and exuded an evil aura.
"What do you mean?" Xing looked confused.
"The Yong King, Olipon, attempted to strip Nicadori of his divinity and store it forever in a carefully crafted container."
"This will make Nicardoli's divine body immortal... But before he can start transforming the Titan, he must first experiment with his followers."
"How do you know so much?" Xing asked.
"It's simple... because Nicardo's fragmented soul is stored in these statues. The call I heard... came from them."
"Reassemble its soul and unite its divine core. This way, it will regain its dignity as a Titan, and you will have a chance to defeat it head-on."
"Finally, we have found the source of everything... I will hold it back. For the followers who have lost their minds, the breath of death is the honey frost that can make them intoxicated."
"Lin Yu, Xing, Lord Gnaeus, please find a way to restore Nicardoli's soul to its original state. Only by correcting this history can Omphalos have a future."
"Have you recovered?" Lin Yu asked worriedly.
"Hmm..." Xiadie nodded gently. She lowered her head slightly, not daring to look directly into Lin Yu's eyes, for fear that he would see through her thoughts.
"Really? Not showing off?" Lin Yu asked again worriedly. He moved forward a little, and the distance between the two of them was instantly shortened. Xiadie could clearly feel the breath emanating from Lin Yu, and her heartbeat could not help but speed up a bit.
"Hmm..." Xiadie's cheeks turned slightly red, but her face remained as calm as ever.
"I'm still worried about you. I'll let Mimi accompany you."
Lin Yu said, and gently patted the little guy on his head.
At this time, Mimi was lying comfortably on Lin Yu's head, like a lazy little ball of fur.
Because it is in the state of memory, only Xing and Lin Yu can see it.
Mimi seemed to sense Lin Yu's intention. It raised its little head and looked at Lin Yu with its round eyes, as if to say, "Don't worry, I will take good care of Xiadie."
"Be careful, call us immediately if there is any danger." Lin Yu reminded again, his eyes lingering on Xiadie for a moment, before turning around and walking towards the statues with Xing and Gnaeus.
"Show me what you can do, Memory Walker," said Gnaeus.
Afterwards, Xing used the Oronis Revelation to switch time and space.
"Unbelievable, such a dark and dilapidated city, is this the future of Xuanfeng City?"
"Even we ourselves still find it magical." Xing pointed at Lin Yu and himself and said.
"The connection between you and Oronis must have been strong. Things have changed, but the Titan's soul remains shattered. King Yong and his servants have probably been turned to dust... No one knows what happened here."
"You and I have both come here to put an end to this absurdity, so let's go together and return death to that Titan."
"Wait..." Gnaeus' voice suddenly sounded on the silent platform, and he looked around vigilantly.
"Why are there sounds of fighting?"
The voice seemed to come from a distant gap in time and space, carrying a faint murderous aura.
"In a very close time and space, my companions are engaged in a fierce battle with Nicardoli." Xing explained.
"In this broken age, there are still mortals who dare to resist their destiny. However, relying on strength alone is not enough to destroy the immortal body... That's why you and the girl traveled through time and space to come to this era to find a solution."
"Come, help me piece together this conflicted divinity."
Then, Xing skillfully used the Hand of Zagreus and the Orb of Oronis to solve the intricate puzzles around him.
"Nikadori's "courage", "glory", "tenacity" and "sacrifice", break free from the shackles and return to the divine body!" Gnaeus raised his arms and shouted, his voice resounding through the sky.
"But where can we find the last missing piece of divinity?" Xing looked puzzled.
"I was wrong. The last bit of divinity has not been lost. I know where to look for it."
"Are you almost successful, Lord Gnaeus?" At this moment, Xiadie's gentle voice suddenly came from behind everyone.
Behind her, Mimi was floating leisurely. It seemed that after Xiadie dealt with the troublesome relatives, Mimi brought her across time and space.
"Well.. now there is only this last step left."
"I don't know when, from beyond the distant horizon, the black tide quietly emerged. Like a dormant beast, it slowly approaches the border of Omphalos."
"And Nicadori was the first Titan to come into contact with it."
"In the struggle against the Black Tide, its mind gradually faded. In its heyday, the Titans could turn the archipelago into dust with a single strike of their sword, but now, they are unable to remove the source of the corruption."
"It struggled with the black tide with its will, but was ultimately defeated. Before its divinity was completely contaminated, it peeled off a part of itself..."
“Could it be…” Xiadie opened her eyes slightly, as if she had guessed something.
"The part of its divinity that it has stripped away is also the part it most desires to preserve intact: reason."
"The Titan firmly believes that its "reason" will one day respond to the call, return to the body of the god, and complete its mission."
After saying that, his gaze slowly fell on the corpses that appeared out of thin air on the platform.
These corpses were exactly the same as Gnaeus, as if they were afterimages peeled off from the folds of time.
"Are these all... your past selves?" Xiadie asked softly.
"They represent countless failed attempts, and with your help, I can finally put an end to it all."
"Sir Gnaeus.. what are you going to do?"
"Courage, glory, tenacity, sacrifice, they are all my alter egos... From the whispers of the soul fragments, I have come to the conclusion that Nicardoli's soul has rotted and there is no possibility of redemption."
"The seal that bound the divinity has been lifted. As long as you complete the soul forging here, Nicardoli will be able to return to completeness. At that time, you will fight against a Titan who is almost at his peak. At the same time, the glory of killing the gods will bloom before you."
"What about you, Master Gnaeus?"
"I will return to my origin and become a fragment of Nicardoli's divinity. Corruption will probably engulf me, right? But in order to end this madness, this step is inevitable."
"You.. are willing to make sacrifices for a future you won't be able to witness?"
"That is my origin, my mission. I am not an ordinary person, nor do I fear death. Even so, are you going to mourn for me?"
"We have only known each other for a short time, but I have learned a lot from you. So, let me teach you a lesson before I leave. Do not despise your talent, and do not hate death. The reason why the journey is great and the epic is magnificent is that everything will eventually die."
"As the incarnation of 'strife', you are telling me the magnificence of the world? How ironic..." Xiadie was silent for a moment and murmured softly.
"Only when placed under conflict can civilization grow. People are born to hate suffering, but only suffering can make people stand firm..."
"I will do as you wish." Xing said firmly.
"She understands the meaning of fighting better than you do. Perhaps she can be an inspiration to you."
"If you die under my spear, there is no need to try to understand these words. If you can bury me... Promise me that you will use the fire as firewood, raise a blazing flame, and continue to fight the black tide." Gnaeus's eyes swept over everyone in turn.
"I... on behalf of all the golden race, agree to your request." Xiadie said solemnly and seriously.
Then, Gnaeus took a step forward resolutely, looked up and stared at the statue in front of him that was holding a sword and pointing downwards, and he slowly stood in the direction the statue was pointing.
"I am the Spear of Scourge! Nicardoli! The messenger of chaos, the embodiment of strife!" Gnaeus' voice resounded through the sky like thunder, "Remember! I am a necessary scar in this world!"
As Gnaeus finished his words, a dazzling golden light shot out from the sword like lightning and hit his body hard.
In an instant, a golden energy surged out in all directions with him as the center.
At the same time, the sound of fighting became louder and louder, as if it was very close at hand, and the two time and space seemed to begin a fierce fusion and collision.
The next moment, the figures of Bai'e, Wandi and Sanyueqi appeared in front of everyone. They were fighting fiercely with Nicardoli, but at the moment they were not entities, and the fusion of time and space seemed not to have been successful.
However, Nicardoli's attack came towards Lin Yu and his group like thunder.
"Bang!" With a loud noise, Gnaeus quickly used the iron swords that were everywhere around him to block Nicardoli's fierce attack.
He turned around and looked at Lin Yu and the others, "Defeat me! Give me the ending a warrior deserves!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the iron sword in his hand could no longer withstand the powerful impact.
Nicardoli's sharp spear instantly pierced Gnaeus' body.
Gnaeus shattered instantly, and the golden blood exploded like fireworks, all of which was absorbed by Nicardoli's body.
Then, Nicardoli's body shone brightly, and a radiant golden pattern suddenly appeared behind him, exuding a terrifying deterrent force.
"Is this the true identity of the Titan of the Nicadori Strife? Unbelievable..." Bai'e muttered to himself in shock as he looked at the scene in front of him.
"I thought we would fight until the end of the era... Well done." There was a hint of relief in Wan Di's voice.
At this time, Lin Yu and his group had returned to their original time and space.
"You have defeated the curse of immortality... then annihilation is your reward!"
"I promise you, Lord Gnaeus...your nightmare will end." Xiadie made a praying gesture with her hands.
The fighting spirit of all enemies rose like flames.
He growled and rushed towards Nicardoli like a meteor.
When he got close, he jumped high, clenched his right fist, and condensed his fighting spirit into substance on his fist.
"Hah!" He shouted and slammed heavily at Nicardoli.
Nicardoli raised his arm, and golden light flowed on his arm, colliding with Wan Die's fist.
In an instant, there was a loud bang that shook the air. The powerful impact force spread in all directions, and cracks appeared on the ground.
Bai'er spotted Nicardo's weakness and thrust out a sword.
But Nicardoli reacted very quickly, and with a wave of the "wings" behind him, a golden energy wave offset Bai'e's attack.
Lin Yu was behind Nicardoly, holding the sword tightly, and shooting sword energy towards Nicardoly. Some vines appeared around and wrapped around Nicardoly's body.
Suddenly, golden light burst out from Nicardoli's body, forming a huge shield that blocked the sword energy outside. It emitted a dazzling light, and the vines shattered.
San Yueqi pulled the longbow, the bowstring was pulled into a full moon shape, and an arrow emitting a faint blue light appeared on the string.
She spread her wings. This was her strongest attack, but it consumed a lot of mental energy.
