Chapter 1253: Weng Falos 3.3 (294)

"Grandmother... thank you. But I have only one request left."

Yaxinti Ya said softly, "Speak then, Yaxin Tesi. We should still have time."

"Before you depart, could you, as you did back then... tell me the legend of the Sky Hero once more?"

"Heh... then you must listen carefully, my dearest little hummingbird. After all, this is the final time..."

Feng Jin closed her eyes, and her grandmother's voice seemed like an invisible pair of hands, pulling her into that ancient, endless epic river.

The Titans have waged war for millennia, the world scarred and bruised. The Golden War raged a hundred years, the realms fell into chaos and fatigue. Until a spear, raging with mortal fury, pierced the dust and flames that had buried the divine salvation edict.

On the left is a moon‑symbol winged beast, its form like a blue Pegasus, its whole body radiating a deep, cool light; on the right is a fire‑breathing winged beast, its body seeming to blaze with molten‑gold flames, constantly emitting sharp roars.

Aigele hovers high in the sky, its wings like dark clouds shrouding the whole firmament. Its huge, blood‑red eyes stare at the earth, as if overlooking the tiny beings below.

The sky‑shaping Aigele, clutching thunder, its brow crowned with the hundred‑eyed divine bird of He Ri... Though Nicadoli pierced ninety‑nine of its eyes, it still retains a single eye, glaring at the descendants who received its blessing yet raise spears against it.

——

Spirit cage.

"One hundred eyes pierced ninety‑nine?! Goodness... is this even a hammer?"

Shanda curled his lip; at first he thought Nicadoli and Aigele were evenly matched, a clash of worthy opponents, the two Titans slaying each other so fiercely that day and night vanished. Now it seems... Nicadoli was simply beating Aigele outright!

Shanda slapped his thigh hard, suddenly recalling, "Wait, that spear Nicadoli used to pierce the train—wasn't it aimed at the last eye it shot out? And then, by chance, a train falling from the sky intercepted it?!"

Xiadou let out a "pfft" laugh, "Heh... if that's the case, it's even more interesting. Meeting Dan Heng and Xingjian again, Aigele would have to thank them."

"Stop teasing. Aigele and Nicadoli have very different roles: one is the sky‑governing Titan, the other a Titan specialized in fighting. It's reasonable that the latter has a higher chance of winning," Suixing said, arms crossed, lightly.

"Why are you now defending Aigele?" Shanda looked at Suixing with a teasing smile, "It's normal for Titans to have strengths and weaknesses; perhaps in combat power, Nicadoli is even stronger than KefaLe."

"…What a baffling comparison of strength. Nicadoli has an immortal body, but Aigele might not; the fight was unfair from the start," Bai Yue Kui sighed lightly, "And even if Aigele is weaker than Nicadoli, that doesn't mean this campaign will be easier than Nicadoli's. If it can truly command weather and wield lightning... it would be the toughest Titan Bai E has faced so far."

——

A knight clad in armor, wielding a spear and a sturdy shield, stood before Aigele.

The golden‑blood of the sky, the "Sun‑Thunder Knight" Senei, at dusk dons feathers and ascends the forbidden land of the Dawn‑Dusk Eye. To her left is the lion‑headed "Flaming Sun Wing" Solabys, exhaling world‑scorching divine fire with a roar; to her right is the horse‑bodied "Star‑Moon Feather" Lunebis, whose spinning steps kick up a tapestry of stars across the heavens.

One person with two beasts, challenging the ruler of the sky, vowing to slay the divine flame. Each roar of the Titan summons lightning; each lunge of the Titan whirls up a hurricane. The Titan's wounded blood falls as a boiling blood rain, merging into a scorching torrent.

At the battle's end, the "Flaming Sun Wing" ignited the Titan's feathers, the "Star‑Moon Feather" sealed the Titan's divine body... The sky hero, wings broken and scarred, struggled to lift the spear and pierce the last colossal eye that threatened the world. The Titan's divine body crashed down with a roar… At the same time, the heavens tore asunder like ripped silk, and the sky was about to fall with the gods.

The mortals' panic and prayers cause the sky hero to rise again. The "Sun‑Thunder Knight" Senei, the world's first golden‑blood to challenge the divine light, together with her two brave winged companions, surged straight into Aigele's disintegrating body. She merged with the Titan, propping up the heavens once more, leaving the world with a stirring final message—

"My descendants will forever receive blessings, stepping on the rainbow bridge to ascend the sky… At the terminus of the primordial divine edict, I will bring this spark back from my hand."

——

Red‑Crimson Eye.

Who just thought Feng Jin wasn't fit to subdue Aigele? She's absolutely perfect for it!

Laboke patted Tazumi's shoulder while laughing heartily, "Who would have thought Aigele was already defeated by Senei a thousand years ago? Aglaea's choice was indeed right; leaving Aigele till the end was sheer wisdom!"

Now Aigele's divine mind should still be Senei, right? Maybe as long as Feng Jin shows up, Senei, upon seeing her own descendant concluding the Fire Pursuit Journey, would directly relinquish the spark. After all, Aigele is an elder of Feng Jin's Sky Tribe!

I... I never expected Aigele had already been successfully subjugated a thousand years ago. It seems Weng Falos a thousand years ago also had golden‑blood comparable to Bai E and Wandi, Tazumi scratched his head sheepishly.

However, one person with two beasts successfully subjugating Aigele seems a bit too exaggerated... Watching Tazumi and Laboke frolic, Cherci didn't join in teasing Tazumi as usual; instead she stared skeptically at the female warrior flashing her blade toward Aigele in the sky.

Cherci, do you think the Sky Tribe's legends are exaggerated? Nageita approached and asked.

Cherci shook her head, "I can't say. But experience tells me that ancient legends are often embellished. The campaign against Aigele, in my view, is overly idealized. When we took down Nicadoli, it took Bai E, Wandi, and Dan Heng together to barely succeed. For Senei to achieve it alone with two beasts is simply... unbelievable."

A few days later, Dawn Cloud Cliff...

Today is Aigele's departure ceremony; Mimo noticed the locals gathering on both sides of the road, as if to see them off.
