Sai Nie E Si (hero)

Sai Nie E Si, Suo La Bi Si, Lu Na Bi Si? Actually line 2: Sai Nie E Si, Suo La Bi Si. Also Lu Na Bi Si not in line 2. So we have those.

"It's time to leave this place. Runebis is waiting for you at the next stop."

"Please wait a moment, Lord Solabis. I… I still have something I want to do." Fengjin interrupted.

(none new)

Fengjin said solemnly: "To honor the pact with the hero Senelius, her descendants have spent a thousand years watching the sky. I think those ancestors who lived generation after generation for the same ideal have the right to know the truth of the legend. If you don't mind us opening the door to the past… may I be allowed to glimpse a bit of this place's history?"

(none)

Solabis fell silent for a moment, unsure what he was thinking. After a while he slowly raised his head: "The mastery of the Euronois divine traces lies with you. I have no right to stop you from perusing that past."

Mi Bao and Hui Bao - these are named entities (characters). We missed them! Need to include.

Xing was a little worried: "If the legend is a lie…"

"If the legend contains false elements… then there must be a reason behind it that needs to be whitewashed. The scenery here, along with my previous memories, gives me a strange premonition… after Senelius challenged the gods, what else happened to the Children of the Sky?" Fengjin clenched his fists, "I need to uncover the original truth of the legend, so that the souls of our ancestors may finally rest in peace."

Jujutsu Kaisen

"In the end, it turned out to be just the two of them…" Hishibu Atsushi kept repeating this softly, his gaze drifting past the blinds toward the dark night outside. Perhaps the Fire Pursuit Journey initially had many Golden Descendants participating? Countless people joined, and kept dying, they paved with their flesh and blood a road that almost has no visible end.

On this road, being alive, compared to death, is actually a punishment. Death is eternal peace, complete liberation, while the living must endure ever greater pains of separation.

"What are you feeling sentimental about?" Shoko's gaze swept over.

Hishibu extinguished the cigarette in his hand: "Nothing much, just sighing at their experiences over these thousand years. We only saw Bai'e and Wandi successfully defeat Nicadoli, witnessing the return of the four fire seeds, yet we ignored the Golden Descendants who, over these thousand years, went forward one after another for the first six fire seeds."

"Yeah, without their sacrifices, the Fire Pursuit Journey could never have made it to today." Shoko paused, then said, "But Hishibu, how much of the legend about the Children of the Sky do you think is true?"

"I don't know about the rest, but Senelius defeating Aigle is probably false; I don't believe one person and two winged beasts could kill Aigle—such a feat, not even a single Golden Descendant could manage, let alone a hundred." Hishibu gazed at the suddenly silent Solabis in the sky canopy and continued, "If she really won, Solabis and Runebis should have witnessed her god-slaying as witnesses… they ought to be able to show more details of the legend."

"... O Maiden of Dusk, have you finally gone mad?!"

"I knew it… the child born of the fused bloodlines of the two feuding clans will sooner or later destroy the Sky City with their own hands."

"Are you really going to point your gun at our god? Stand down! Your recklessness will invite divine punishment…"

Radiant People, Sai Nie E Si, winged beast - but winged beast is generic; we may not include.

"Divine punishment?" She snorted contemptuously, "Those innocent Children of the Earth merely harbored curiosity about exploring 'beyond the heavens,' and the lofty gods passed judgment of extermination and national annihilation upon them…"

"Take a good look at yourselves. You who call yourselves Children of the Blazing Sun cannot withstand this strong light, yet you treat your scorched, blistered skin as a gift from the gods. You consider yourselves the chosen of the gods, favored by Aigle, yet you dare not wage war against the true threats of this world, only brandishing your swords against your own weak kin."

Senelius's voice carried a hint of pity: "You are already past cure… My father too was a believer of the Blazing Sun; he taught me resilience and integrity, letting me advance toward the light—because where there is light, there is hope. Poor people, I can no longer see hope in you… even the shadows hidden in the shade possess more dignity than you."

The Radiant People of the earth exclaimed indignantly: "Even so, Maiden of Dusk! Even so, you ought not destroy our faith…"

The woman beside them wept as she spoke: "…It's not just faith! Aigle shaped the sky; it is the very lord of the heavens—if it falls, who knows what this world will become!"

Senelius solemnly proclaimed: "A divine edict has come from the horizon's end. It heralds a brand-new era, one not ruled by the Titan gods, but forged by mortal heroes."

"I choose to believe! All the promises break the shackles the old world imposed on us, bringing us the omens to usher in a new chapter… I have nothing left but to believe!"

Kobayashi family, Dragon Maid

So this is Senelius… a pioneer who wants to break the old conventions. I never imagined that even within her own clan, her act of challenging Aigle would meet with so much opposition.

In Thor's impression, Aigle's actions could only be described as "cold" and "violent." She had originally thought that a considerable portion of the Sky People also opposed Aigle's violent conduct, but it turned out that Senelius was the sole "oddball" among them.

Any Sky Person who harbors even a hint of the desire to explore beyond the heavens is likely to be utterly annihilated in an instant. Rather than saying Aigle protects them, it's more like she simply can't be bothered to pay them any attention.

"At the outset of the Fire Pursuit Journey, Senelius's practice of challenging the gods would surely have provoked the most opposition—that was an era when new and old ideas clashed most fiercely." Kobayashi set down his beer can and said lightly, "But judging by our human historical experience, pioneers like Senelius who blaze new trails often suffer the harshest persecution."

Xiao Lin meant that when she decided to swing her long spear at the Titan, her enemy was no longer just the Titan; there were also the humans behind her?
