Chapter 54 : Chapter 54 Son of Gorgo, He Who Swept Away the Crown!
Taking advantage of the players' fervor right after a minor boss battle concluded, Xu Qiong also took the opportunity to update Tribbie's character banner.
Additionally, Tribbie's personal PV, 'Innocent Words', was also released.
The timing perfectly coincided with everyone's return to Okhema.
"Teacher Tribbie, you look so pensive. Did Trinon send some news?"
Phainon was speaking with Tribbie.
Clearly, the team searching for Trianne on the other side had also sent word.
Tribbie's expression was somewhat sorrowful: "Yes... she found Trianne."
"At the base of the mountain ravine outside the temple. Unfortunately, it's bad news."
"Please accept my condolences." Phainon made a gesture of salute.
Before the screen, Guinaifen took a deep breath, feeling almost suffocated.
[This time it's not a fake death? Trianne... is really gone?]
[The Author's social media updated! The PV and Tribbie's banner are actually launching at this moment?]
[How hellish, Author! Opening a banner right after Trianne's gone! Doesn't your conscience hurt?]
[Shaoji, you son of a... I *** love you to death!]
[Give Trianne back! Give Trianne back! Wuwu~]
By the time everyone rushed to the scene, Trianne had already turned into a doll holding a wooden sword, just like the ones in Tribbie's room back then.
"Don't be disheartened. Trianne merely exhausted the time she borrowed from Janus."
"Her soul has ridden the west wind, flying ahead to that world without sorrow." Trinon explained gently to everyone.
Furthermore, when Trianne was found, there was also a Kratros beside her.
He had endured countless cuts, protecting Trianne from the Fire Thief, preventing further harm. By the time he was rescued, he was already on the brink of death.
But Tribbie might as well have not said anything; after speaking, the situation felt even more unbearable.
[Are you kidding me, Author! Wasn't it promised there would be a reunion?]
[It was promised everyone would live happily ever after in the new world?!]
[(╯‵dish′)╯︵┻━┻]
[What kind of reunion is this?]
[Trianne, may we meet again at the end of the west wind!]
However, as Guinaifen continued the story, she discovered this sudden Fire Thief revolution had cost more than just Trianne.
While the Chrysos Heirs were discussing who would inherit the Time' Ember, Mydei alone sought out Kratros.
Having taken on the divine authority, he was already prepared to succeed Nikador in confronting the black tide.
As Kratros hoped Mydei would lead everyone back home, Mydei instead declared his final decree thus:
"Beginning in the Light Year 2506, ending in the Light Year 4931, I, Mydmos, the last Tyrant of Kremnos City, Son of Golgo, hereby proclaim—"
"On this day, the Xuanfeng Dynasty officially comes to an end."
He did not want the Xuanfeng People to follow him back home only to continue sending themselves to their deaths.
Therefore, he let the glorious Xuanfeng Dynasty, which had lasted a millennium, conclude here.
"You have killed us, you have killed us all..." Kratros found it hard to believe.
But Mydei merely shook his head: "No, I have granted you all a new life!"
He took out the king's signet ring and bestowed new meaning upon everyone, cooperating with the people of Okhema.
It was a tomorrow belonging to 'people', and also a brand new tomorrow for Amphoreus.
The meaning of the Throne's End was fulfilled at this moment.
Subsequently, before setting off, Mydei went to see many people.
From Aglaea, Mydei obtained the one virtue the King of Xuanfeng had lacked for many Time: the gravity that gathers everyone together.
He promised he would guard Amphoreus until the very end, until everyone reached Re-creation.
But after taking on the divine authority, Mydei had clearly also seen the oracle.
He confirmed with Aglaea: "After taking on the mantle of the Myneta, what did you see?"
Aglaea chose not to conceal it: "Even after a thousand Time, the words of that prophecy remain clear."
"'You shall bathe for the last time in warm, dazzling gold.'"
Mydmos smiled, but clearly neither of them showed fear because of this.
"'One day, you shall die from a wound in the back.'"
This was the oracle belonging to him.
This parting might be farewell forever.
Therefore, Aglaea offered a calm goodbye:
"May mighty fate await you, and may we meet again in the promised new world..."
"Goodbye, Mydei."
...
The amount of information was overwhelming for a moment.
Guinaifen, who hadn't yet emerged from her grief, felt her brain overheating.
The oracle had appeared again.
Two of them at once?
This 'You shall bathe for the last time in warm, dazzling gold' seems a bit cryptic, but fine.
But what does 'One day, you shall die from a wound in the back' mean?!
Is this even a prophecy? It's purely a curse!
[?]
[?]
[?]
[What does it mean?]
...
Before the barrage could ponder what the oracles represented, Mydei went to find Tribbie and Trinon, but on the way, he encountered Hyacine.
Regarding Kratros's matter, Mydei thanked Hyacine and affirmed that she would indeed inherit Aegle's Ember one day.
The two bid each other farewell.
Before leaving, Mydei asked Hyacine to relay a message to Tribbie and Trinon.
Gazing up at the sky, at the world-shielding Kephale, he said earnestly:
"—Tell them that from now on, there's no need to physically scout behind enemy lines anymore. A single message, and the blades of divine retribution shall point at Okhema's enemies!"
[!]
[!]
[!]
[By the Reignbow Arbiter! This is practically the will of The Hunt!]
[May the arrowheads of The Hunt pierce the hearts of monsters!]
Mydei's words instantly drew out many Xianzhou viewers.
Even Jing Yuan before the screen couldn't help but cross his arms, wearing a seemingly indifferent smile.
...
Next were Castorice, Hatonus, Stelle, and Dan Heng.
They each left their own farewells.
"Together with everyone, I shall remain here, listening for Kremnos City... that thunderclap."
"May we meet again on the other side of the warm west wind."
Finally, there was a segment inviting Mydei to take a group photo.
With a 'click', March's camera pressed the shutter, freezing the image at this moment.
"May you leave no regrets on Amphoreus."
"..."
And at the very end, only Phainon remained.
At this point, Guinaifen was surprised to discover that Mydei had actually become a playable character.
"Huh? Could it be that Mydei's banner is coming in the second half soon?!"
Amidst her pleasant surprise, Guinaifen switched to controlling Mydei and walked forward.
Crossing corridor after corridor, a surging crowd came into view, exciting the barrage.
"Salute—to the Guardian of Amphoreus—!"
A young child was the first to shout.
"We salute you!"
"May you be ever-victorious!"
"May glory accompany you!"
"We pledge to follow you to the death!"
"We follow your guidance!"
"Farewell... Savior of Xuanfeng!"
Until at the end of the path, Phainon's familiar voice came:
"Long time no see, Guardian."
"Hmph." Mydei crossed his arms. "Should have guessed it was you."
The two thus left the city, moving forward amidst the throngs of people cheering and bidding farewell, while also exchanging their own goodbyes.
For being able to personally slay the Fire Thief, Phainon thanked Mydei for his help.
To this, Mydei only gave Phainon an admonition: "Look forward. Chew up and swallow your past. Do not let emptiness and bitterness become the only flavors you know."
"Don't forget, there's an entire world behind you waiting to be saved."
"I will remember it well."
Finally, Mydei entrusted Phainon with taking care of the Xuanfeng People and exchanged a parting glance with Kratros, who had long since arrived.
"If there's a chance in the next life, come visit my library more often."
"I'm off, Deliverer—remember to live until the end."
"Mm."
Phainon nodded: "You too, don't die—"
The camera gradually pulled away here. The two were already back-to-back, walking slowly away, illuminated by the majestic dawn of Kephale.
One would go to Kremnos City, the other would return to Okhema.
Everything was left unsaid.
But even so, the two kindred spirits still managed to wear a faint smile in the end.
"May you be ever-victorious, Mydmos."
