Chapter 1268

"The god-slaying hunter can judge the condition of its prey from its voice. The god's part? Resentment, dread." Suolabisi murmured, "Her part... I cannot sense."

Named entities: Suolabisi (person). Also maybe "God-slaying Hunter" is a description, not a name. "God's part" not a name. So only Suolabisi.

"Aigele... it seems to already know its own fate." Fengjin said.

Named entities: Aigele (person? maybe a name). Also Fengjin (person). So Aigele, Fengjin.

Bai'e gripped the hilt of his sword: "We won't let it wait too long; let's use Titan's blood to give Qinshen an edge."

Named entities: Bai'e (person). Also Titan (maybe a title? Could be a name? "Titan" could be a term meaning Titan, but likely refers to a Titan (mythological). Might be considered a named entity? It's a proper noun? In context, "Titan's blood" likely "Titan's blood". Could be a reference to a Titan (capitalized). Might be considered a named entity? The rule says we exclude generic words, but "Titan" could be a proper noun referring to a specific Titan? Not sure. Usually "Titan" is a generic term for titan, but in this context maybe it's a specific Titan's blood. However we might treat it as a named entity? The instruction: list every NAMED entity / coined term in these lines: characters, places, sects/clans/factions/peoples, official & sect ranks/titles, techniques, cultivation realms/pills/treasures, named beasts/items, fan-fiction names. "Titan" could be a named beast/item? It's a mythological race; but not sure if it's considered a named entity. Safer to include as a named entity? However we need to see if it's a coined term. It's not a common word; it's a proper noun from mythology. Might be considered a named beast/item. I'd include it.

Also "Qinshen" is a weapon name (already in glossary as Qinshen). So we need to include that as named entity (weapon). Already in glossary.

Suolabisi stared intently at the sword in Bai'e's hand, lost in thought: "That long sword in your hand... I seem to have seen it somewhere before."

Named entities: Suolabisi, Bai'e.

"Is your memory off? This sword was only just forged."

No named entities (just "this sword").

Suolabisi let out a soft sigh: "... Perhaps."

Named entity: Suolabisi.

—— (just a separator line, no named entities)

Honkai 3

Named entity: Honkai 3 (from glossary)

In Past Paradise, Eden carefully examined Bai'e's Qinshen, comparing it closely with the Fire Stealer's blade in her memory.

"If I remember correctly, Bai'e's Qinshen was forged based on the Fire Stealer's weapon; if Solarbis has seen it, then that would mean..."

"Fire Stealer." Qianjie gave a cold snort, "... He indeed also came to the Eye of Dawn and Dusk."

"So, can that monster still fly? Is it truly as Kesha said, 'wings growing beneath the ribs'?" Paduo swallowed saliva, "How then do we fight it? Wouldn't it be able to fly straight into Aohema, rush to the heart of the Genesis Vortex and just start looting?!"

"In theory it can indeed do that, or rather... it could have done so long ago. At the moment Aglaea died, Aohema's defenses were already extremely empty, the perfect time for its invasion. It could descend from above the holy city—"

Eden had spoken halfway when she suddenly seemed to think of something, jumping up from the sofa.

"... No wonder."

"Huh? What did you think of, Elder Sister Eden?" Paduo looked at her curiously.

"Back then, Tiyan used the Hundred Realms Gate to send it away from the Tree Court, yet this guy arrived at the Hall of Three Fates in just a few days and killed Ouronis—this speed, it turns out, was achieved by flight..."

"Flight might merely be one of the Fire Stealer's abilities—clone, flight, recovery, and that strange ability to escape from the memory labyrinth; these are its means." Kevin said lightly, "... We cannot rule out that it has other abilities; perhaps the Golden Descendants haven't forced them out yet."

Paduo broke into a sweat: "Um... Captain Kevin, won't that be a bit too exaggerated?"

"Not exaggerated, Paduo." Eden replied, "If Bai'e wants to confront the Fire Stealer head-on, he must prepare for the worst—gather all existing Golden Descendants and Demigods, and make a last stand against him in Aohema."

——

"Everyone arrived at the vault of the Celestial Phenomenon Wall; here the 'sky' had already been divided into yin and yang halves."

Bai'e exclaimed in amazement: "This is the vault of the Celestial Phenomenon Wall... truly marvelous."

Danheng gazed at the shrinking blazing-sun space and said lightly: "The vault still shows the blazing sun's image. If we let dark clouds also cover this wall, Egler would have nowhere to go, right?"

Lunabis nodded: "Exactly. Using the means you all already know to leave it nowhere to hide, then..."

Solarbis interrupted: "... Yasintes, we will obey your will, lend our strength to you all, and cause Egler's true form to manifest."

Fengjin looked puzzled: "My will...?"

"A thousand years have passed; without the binding agreement, I and Lunabis would likely have long since dissipated like everything else here."

Lunabis added: "That agreement requires us to wait for the Child of the Sky to return to the homeland… fulfill the mission of reclaiming the Titan's fire seed. We will carry out your will, Miss Fengjin, just as we once kept our promise to Sennerus."

Fengjin said resolutely: "But before that… we will first uncover the whole truth of history—everything the Sky People endured after Hero Sennerus ignited the Fire Pursuit Journey."

"... That is only fitting."

"Gods of the sky, we have come… your resentment and fear will soon end." Fengjin lifted her gaze to the eye that had always watched them, "Lady Sennerus… after merging with the Titan, do you still retain human consciousness? I hope you can see what fruit the seeds you planted have borne."

"Now… only the final few steps remain."

After Mimi carefully surveyed this area, she also unusually wore a solemn expression: "... Something's off. One can clearly feel the memories surging here. It's as if… many emotions have wandered through the long years, unwilling to vanish."

"Is it haunted?"

"The memories wandering here seem to be pleading for something… so painful, so wronged." Mimi said with a worried face, "It's like… souls lingering by the River of the Underworld."

——

Attack on Titan.

"This place is so strange……?"

Captain Levi's brows knit tight; after Mimi's words, he couldn't help but notice the environment these stellar beings were in. This place is nearest the vault and most convenient for communicating with Egler—could it be that Egler's death dealt too heavy a blow to the Child of the Sky, so that even Mimi a thousand years later feels their lost faith's anguish?

"Mimi's description reminds me of a place." Hanji said from beside.

"What?"

"Slaughterhouse."

"... What does that have to do with a slaughterhouse?" Levi couldn't help but roll his eyes. Really can't stand this guy's jumping thoughts.

"Just a subconscious feeling." Hanji didn't shy away, continuing, "Since even Fengjin and Bai'e have noticed the Child of the Sky's later situation, I think they might not have made it to the ground so smoothly."

"War? Massacre?" Levi guessed while speaking, "If it's war, I wouldn't be surprised. But these Sky People even had their faith's god killed—surely they wouldn't need to slaughter each other over so-called divine favor, right?"

I also lean toward war." Hanji lowered her head in thought, "The Sky People's tribes slaughtered each other, vying for territory, eventually consuming one another to become a single nation—namely the first batch that came to the ground and established the Dawnlight Court. The place where Mimi and company are is likely a site of inter-tribal slaughter."

"Heh… the Sky People really show no mercy when they kill their own." Levi sneered.

"Otherwise, why would they leave behind an impression of being tall, strong, and tough?" Hanji chuckled, "Putting aside the Swordfang folk, the Sky People should be the strongest human race in Ouroboros, right?"
