Chapter 1004: Weng Falos 3.0 (50)

"You mean…?"

Xia Die suddenly said, "Lord Bai E, I will go with you to meet Olorinis. I hope it can recreate the past scenery for us and reveal Nicadoli's deception of Death…"

Bai E: "Miss Xia Die, you have no clue either?"

"【Conflict】 and 【Death】 have always been inseparable. In its heyday, Nicadoli valued honor and would never betray allies. But after it fell into madness, the oath vanished. Now it seems… in pursuit of an immortal body, Nicadoli has betrayed 【Death】."

Bai E nodded and looked at Aglaea beside him: "There's another matter. The stone slab of Xuanfeng Fortress mentions 【Infiltration】…"

Aglaea understood immediately: "Ti Bao and I will do everything to protect the citizens of the Holy City; you need not worry. Find Olorinis and, by any means you can think of, expose the Mad King's secret."

——

Overlord.

(Incredible…)

(Not using magic, but fundamentally immune to death, restoring one's state to the original at the moment of death?)

(What kind of power is this, I really want to study it carefully…)

In Anzi's hollow eye sockets, the crimson light seemed to shrink slightly. As an undead, he has not achieved true "undead" status; on the contrary, holy light, divine attributes, or sufficiently powerful magical attacks can kill him. Yet the "undead" trait has already been obtained by the Golden‑Blooded and the Titans in the heavens, without employing any power related to "Fate."

Why is that? Even he himself can feel that confusion spreading through his marrow.

Aohema's city‑state civilization is not much different from the world they inhabit—cold weapons, stone architecture, worship of gods… all within his comprehension; the only variable is the Golden‑Blooded.

"Lord Anzi, are you pondering the source of the Golden‑Blooded's power?" Dimiwu Ge Si, standing nearby, bowed respectfully.

"Dimiwu Ge Si, you've already seen that, do you have any thoughts?"

"Yes! Lord Anzi, you're also very curious about that undead power, aren't you? According to my speculation, the Golden‑Blooded may to some extent possess the 'Lawfulness' of Weng Falos."

"Law?"

"Yes. Whether it's Wandi's 'Refusal of Death', Aglaea's golden thread that connects all things, or Ti Bao's opening of the spatial gates—those things are not magic; they seem more like some law of the world manifesting through them."

Anzi heard the subtext in Dimiwu Ge Si's words: "You mean that if they leave Weng Falos, those strange powers would become unusable, is that what you're saying?"

Dimiwu Ge Si stood even more upright, showing great admiration.

"No wonder, Lord Anzi, you have indeed understood."

The high‑pitched sound of a staff striking the floor echoed all around.

"…An interesting idea, Dimiwu Ge Si."

"Thank you very much."

If what Dimiwu Ge Si says is true, then he truly need not worry about the threat that may arise after Weng Falos connects with the cosmos. After all, an immune‑to‑death Wandi is already a formidable problem; if it cannot be killed, then his representing 【Conflict】 conquering the entire world is only a matter of time.

【8】 This time, Dan Heng and Xia Die also joined the operation. The four arrived outside Aohema's city and soon met Ti Bao, who had been waiting there for a long time.

【9】 "Teacher Ti Bao! We are ready."

【10】 "Hmm, we have already understood the situation. This time *we* will escort everyone to the Deep Abyss." Ti Bao nodded.

【11】 Bai E was a bit worried: "Is this okay? It used to be Teacher Ti An…"

【12】 "Xuanfeng City's two trips have drained Ti An's strength; she needs time to recover." Ti Bao placed both hands on her hips, forcing a faint smile, "No need to worry for *us*, Little Bai… this is for the little enemy, and for everyone."

【13】 Xia Die: "Lord Ti Bao… how can we make Olorinis answer our summons, do you have any suggestions?"

【14】 Ti Bao shook his head regretfully: "Sorry, Ah Die, Olorinis has never been a Titan who enjoys communicating with people. But in this matter, *we* are probably of no help."

【15】 Xia Die lowered her head desolately: "It seems… we can only rely on ourselves to find a way."

【16】 Xing Zou frowned: "It sounds like pure luck‑testing…"

【17】 Bai E gritted his teeth and said, "If that Titan refuses to cooperate… force is the final solution."

【18】 "Olorinis… it is not a naturally malicious Titan; I hope we need not go that far. The situation is urgent, everyone… let's set out."

【19】 ——

【20】 Masked Rider Builid.

【21】 "Why not eliminate Olorinis here? After all, we'll eventually have to kill it and take the fire seed inside it. Better to strike today… right now!"

【22】 Long Wo raised his head passionately, but suddenly a hand reached out and gave his occiput a light tap.

【23】 "Are you an idiot?!"

【24】 Mei Kong was holding a rolled‑up fashion magazine, glaring at him irritably.

【25】 Long Wo covered his occiput, turned with a plaintive face and said, "Why hit me!"

【26】 "Because you're dead stupid." Mei Kong tossed the magazine onto the nearby sofa, sat down cradling her coffee, and said, "If the Golden‑Blooded are surrounded by enemies on all sides, being eliminated by a Titan is only a matter of time. In any undertaking, one must distinguish primary from secondary conflicts; do you think Olorinis is the current primary conflict?"

【27】 "It's not just that." Zhan Tu also turned from the experimental table, twirling a neutral pen, "It seems there is currently no Golden‑Blooded to house the Titan of Ages' fire seed, right? Wandi does not wish to become a Demigod; after Bai E, the fire seed of 【Conflict】 must be inherited. That means a next Golden‑Blooded must be found to become a god… but is it really that easy?"

Long Wo scratched his head, muttering, "Isn't there still Xia Die?"

Mei Kong: "Since the Golden‑Blooded must bear Olorinis's fire seed, they at least need to know its prayer, right? Xing Dao knows the prayer, but she isn't Golden‑Blooded and already has a star core inside… the fire seed would probably be outcompeted by the star core in her body."

"「Hmm, we*we* already understand the situation. This time we*we* will take everyone to the Deep Abyss. 」Tibao nodded."

Ti Bao opened the Hundred Realms Gate, sending the four to the Fate Deep Abyss.

"We've arrived— the Hundred Realms Gate can only bring you here." Ti Bao halted, "The Fate Three‑Phase Hall has been abandoned for ages, yet its surroundings still retain the magical realm woven by the Priest Gate. Approaching it recklessly with Janus's power would likely be very risky."

Xiaodie: "Lady Tibao… how can we get Oronis to respond to our call? Do you have any suggestions?"

Tibao shook her head regretfully: "Sorry, Xiaodie, Oronis has never been a Titan who enjoys communicating with people. But in this matter, *we* are probably unable to help."

Xiaodie lowered her head dejectedly: "It seems… we can only rely on ourselves to find a way."

Xing frowned: "It sounds like we're just leaving it to luck…"

Bai'e gritted their teeth and said: "If that Titan refuses to cooperate with us… force is the last resort."

"Oronis… it is not a naturally vicious Titan; I hope we don't have to come to that. The situation is urgent, everyone… let's set out."

——

Kamen Rider Builid.

We might as well just destroy Oronis here—after all, we'll eventually have to kill it and take its fire seed; why pick another day when today will do? Let's do it today!

Ryuwo raised his head proudly, but suddenly a hand reached out and tapped him on the back of the head, neither too hard nor too soft.

Are you an idiot?!

Only to see Mikuo holding a rolled-up fashion magazine, looking at him annoyed.

Ryuwo covered the back of his head, looking aggrieved as he turned around: "Why did you hit me!"

"Because you're an idiot." Mikuo tossed the magazine onto the nearby sofa, sat down, and cradled the coffee in their hands: "If the Golden Heir has enemies on all sides, then being wiped out by a Titan is just a matter of time. In any matter, we must distinguish between the principal and secondary contradictions; do you think Oronis is the principal contradiction now?"

"That's not all." Sentou also turned from the lab bench, fiddling with the gel pen in their hand: "It seems there's currently no Golden Heir to accommodate the Eon Titan's fire seed. Wandi doesn't want to become a Demigod, and Bai'e will later inherit the fire seed of conflict. That means we must find the next Golden Heir to achieve godhood… but is it really that easy?"

Ryuwo scratched his head, muttering: "Isn't there still Xiaodie?"

Mikuo: "Since the Golden Heir must bear Oronis's fire seed, they at least ought to know its prayer, right? Star can recite the prayer, but she isn't a Golden Heir, and she already has a star core inside her… the fire seed would likely lose out to the star core in her body, right?"

——

Tibao opened the Hundred Worlds Gate, sending the four of them to the Abyss of Fate.

"We've arrived——the Hundred Worlds Gate can only bring you this far." Tibao stopped in their tracks. "The Hall of the Threefold Fate may have long been abandoned, but its surroundings still retain the Dharma realm woven by the Priest's Gate. Approaching rashly with Janus's power would likely pose great danger."
