Chapter 1061

Dragon clan.

"I like his attitude; discussing his own corpse is like discussing whether to put sugar in morning coffee." Caesar really liked the temperament of that Professor Nachxia; his speech naturally carried three parts sarcasm, seven parts mockery, and ninety parts professionalism and confidence.

Someone who can maintain confidence and not change expression in a life-or-death crisis is at least unmatched in knowledge, means, and psychological quality. Moreover, for some reason, when Caesar looks at him, he always feels like facing Professor Laatio. Perhaps this is... the common trait of intelligent people?

"Strange." Chu Zihang opened his eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"Has the fire seed of the Rational Titan already been taken out by humans? If so, then by rights Sesis should have died long ago."

"Indeed, and Sesis was quite at ease entrusting the fire seed to the Tree Court for safekeeping; it seems this Titan's attitude toward humans is indeed unusual." Caesar pursed his lips, "I thought that when Sesis's lover—oh no, lover Titan—was killed by humans and the fire seed taken out, it would harbor strong hatred toward the successor Aglaea."

Speaking of this, Caesar's face suddenly showed a hint of a smile; I don't know if he imagined his and Nuo Nuo's future wedding or something... Anyway, his mood seemed to become pleasant in an instant.

"After all, legends are just legends; it's already quite absurd for a Titan's private life to be passed around by a bunch of humans. Moreover, these mythological tales aren't necessarily true; perhaps in the myth those two Titans are constantly at odds, fighting every day? It's just that a well-meaning person happened to see them and thought they were a married couple bickering daily."

"Several people arrived at a library of the Tree Court, intending to search everywhere for survivors, when suddenly a strange low murmur came from midair, scaring Mi Mi so much that both of her big ears drooped."

"Xing pulled Mi Mi behind him in one motion: 'Don't be afraid, I have experience catching ghosts!'"

""You still do this kind of thing…?""

"Xiaodie searched around and finally located the source of the sound at the center of the library."

""Fairy wood… again like just now, is it the shadow of a dead fairy wood?""

""No, it's that even more distant place——"

"Several people came before a stone carving growing branches; as expected, the stone carving continuously emitted the Titan's echo."

""Golden Cocoon, Moneita.""

""Scheming fate is destined, binding lovers.""

""You are the purest beauty, the most turbid desire.""

The Titan's echo seemed to be reciting a short love poem; just as Xing was about to record it, a woman's sigh suddenly came from behind.

""Ah… even so, a stubborn stone cannot speak.""

Several people were frightened to the point of a jolt, almost instinctively stepping back, only to see a woman like a ghost, wearing a pale yellow long dress, silently standing behind them.

""Wah—who—?!" Mi Mi quickly hid behind Xing's back, only after a while daring to slightly poke her head out to size up the other."

""Hehe… this little rabbit, truly lively, and also has a familiar scent." The woman closed her eyes, her posture dignified, seeming to have no ill intent."

""This ghost is pretty good-looking.""

""What a child with a eloquent tongue, fond of lotus-eating… I humbly accept the praise."

Xiaodie eyed the other warily: '…Who are you? Keep your distance, reveal your identity, otherwise you bear the consequences.'

""Senatos's aura… I recognize you, the death goddess of Ai Diliya is renowned abroad."

""Since you know that, then don't provoke the authority of 【Death】 any further—answer my question."

The woman's face showed no fear; on the contrary, she found Xiaodie's appearance quite amusing: 'Hehe, baring fangs and brandishing claws… truly cute. Just call me Calypso, and on behalf of the Seven Sages and the 【Lotus-Eating School】, I extend my greetings to all of you.'

——

Valkyrie of the Apocalypse.

""Calypso… isn't she the daughter of the giant Atlas? I recall she was eternally trapped on Ogygia Island, not allowed to step off; how did she end up in Olophros?"

""Hermes, I remember you met her before, right? Do you have any clues?"

Zeus put down the honey water in his hand and looked at the man beside him wearing a tailcoat, polite and courteous.

Yet Hermes drew a breath as if inhaling cold air and said: 'This… I have indeed received your dispatch to go to Ogygia Island to release her lover Odysseus, but their images are worlds apart.'

The giant Atlas is the supreme god of the Titan race, his image extremely similar to KefaLe; yet this woman bears the name Calypso—could it be… she is KefaLe's daughter?

No no no… Hermes shook his head, quickly dismissing his inner speculation about Calypso. After all, the name Aglaea also appears in Olophros, as do instruments that could only exist in ancient Greece. When coincidences are truly too many, there must be some necessity hidden beneath the coincidence.

A bold answer slowly surfaced in his mind.

""Your Majesty Zeus, I think… we and Olophros might both be fabricated based on a civilization."

The smile on Zeus's wrinkled old face instantly froze: 'Hermes, what are you saying?'

Hermes wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, slightly bowed, and said: 'My guess is that cosmic civilizations are like a lush, branching tree; we and Olophros are like branches splitting from a limb, belonging to the same vein, yet two different worlds.'

""Since we evolved from a split of the same branch, civilizations will inevitably share some similarities; this can well explain the coincidental part between us and Olophros… What do you think?"

""Somewhat reasonable." Saying this, Zeus seemed a bit disappointed: '…So I've never been to Olophros? I thought it was Liu Guang Yi Ting that erased my memory.'

Shiva's lips curled downward, he shrugged and said: 'Old man, you really have an overinflated sense of self-importance; Liu Guang Yi Ting has no reason to act against you. We are just like the Titans of Olophros—perhaps formidable on Earth, but once we leave here… who knows how many beings in the universe could deal with us?'

——

""I understand the reasoning, then… are you a ghost?"

Xiaodie whispered a reminder: "Be careful, Xing… although the owner of the 【Lotus-Eating School】 has never shown their true face, this person cannot be easily trusted. The 【Yinwei】 just now failed to detect her aura; if it is indeed a false body made by a Dao phantom, that would be too extraordinary. But if she is a deceased person, I should be able to sense it."
