Chapter 508 Suspended Edge City
"In addition, I would like to recommend two warriors from foreign lands—they faced the half of Titanicadori with me, and I have no doubt about their bravery."
Bai Er naturally recommended Eve and Dan Heng.
Eve's strength is undeniable; if she were to participate in this campaign, the Titans of Strife would be no match for her.
Moreover, Bai E had already persuaded Eve and the others to join the expedition yesterday, so the current recommendation is just a formality.
"Thank you both for your assistance." Aglaia's attitude had improved considerably, and she was much more respectful now.
“This is the destiny of ‘pioneering’,” Dan Heng replied politely from the side.
Wan Di, with his chest bare, spoke, "I, Wan Di of Xuanfeng City, am willing to go."
"The Titanic Cadori of Strife has been corrupted by time and lost its pride. But its power remains strong, and only a full-scale attack will bring victory."
He was agitated, his eyes filled with rage.
"I, I'm also willing to accompany my mother—no, I mean everyone—to guide the dying souls and relieve everyone's burdens..."
As Xia Die spoke, her little eyes secretly glanced at Eve.
She felt more and more that Eve was radiating golden light. She hadn't slept well yesterday, and just thinking about the feeling of that embrace made her face flush with excitement.
She's now completely addicted.
Aglaia nodded.
“I agree with you. Even though divinity has been lost, the Titanicadori of strife is still a formidable enemy that should not be underestimated.”
"But I cannot stake all your lives on one battle."
"Now, the Titan of Death, 'The Gray Hand,' is nowhere to be found, while the Titan of the Sky, 'The Eye of Dawn and Dusk,' still covets the earth; and the Titan of Reason, Thersis, and the Titan of Time, Oronis, though they have not yet shown hostility towards humanity, are equally formidable."
"Even with two demigods guarding the Holy City, this gamble is far too risky. Therefore..."
"Xia Die, you must stay in the city. The front lines are not your home; the battlefield should be returned to the true warriors."
“Okay…I understand…” Xia Die was a little disappointed, her eyes kept secretly looking at Eve.
I'm unhappy because I don't get a hug anymore...
"As for these two warriors from afar... please have one of them accompany you, Bai'e. It is not proper for a host to send two distinguished guests to the front lines together."
Aglaia no longer used a commanding tone, because she truly understood the difference in strength.
That vine is probably harder than steel.
“Eve is very strong; I'm afraid even if Wan Di and I joined forces, we wouldn't be a match for her. If we only consider it from a combat perspective…”
"What? Stronger than me?"
Before Bai E could finish speaking, Wan Di interrupted him.
Bai E snorted coldly, "Wan Di, don't be arrogant."
“There may be a debate about who is stronger between us, but when it comes to Eve, it’s just a matter of one hand.”
"Arrogant? I think you're just too cowardly." Wan Di looked at Bai E with great disdain.
“I am Maedmus, the Crown Prince of the Suspended Peak, and also the warrior of Ohma, the one against all.”
"We will never lose to anyone."
As Wan Di spoke, he looked at Eve.
Eve made no move and maintained her faint smile.
For Eve, the debate between Wan Die and Bai Er was utterly meaningless.
She disdains to prove anything.
“Enough, Wan Di. We are at war now,” Aglaia interrupted Wan Di.
“Miss Eve is indeed powerful. We need her strength to fight against the conflict.”
"Tch, making it sound so far-fetched..." Wan Di muttered under his breath.
He was aware of the urgency of the situation and did not provoke anyone.
The reason he acted that way just now is because he cares most about Suspended Peak and the Titans of Strife.
More than anyone else, he desperately wanted to reclaim Suspended Peak City, and even to kill their former god.
Wan Di knew the power of conflict, so he couldn't let someone of unknown strength die in vain.
“Eve, you don’t need to worry about Wan Di. He’s just used to being arrogant.”
"I extend a formal invitation to you to accompany us to Suspended Peak City."
What do you think?
“Okay.” Eve nodded.
“I need to study samples, and the original Titan of Dissipation is the best sample.”
“Ahem, Eve…” Danheng reminded her from the side.
That's way too blunt.
"Haha, anyway, Eve agreed to come with us, right?" Bai Er also gave an awkward smile.
“Aglaia, let the three of us take on the mission of hunting Titans.” Bai’er turned to look at Aglaia.
Aglaia then spoke to Wan Di.
“Hanging Peak City is your homeland, Medemus. Your people were once the subjects of the Titanicadori of Strife—but you chose to return to Ohma and dedicate yourself to the Oracle.”
"Would you swear an oath to the body of the Titan Cephalus, who bears the burden of the world, that you would regard the mission of the Golden Blood as your highest duty?"
Wan Di placed his left hand on his chest and loudly swore: "Since the Titanic Cadoli of strife succumbed to madness, it is no longer the god of my people."
"I will use human wrath to strip God of his authority. As for the flame, and the soon-to-be-vacant divine seat..."
"If that's what you desire, then take it. I have no interest in replacing the gods."
Bai'er laughed heartily, "Ha...how generous! But I don't like accepting handouts. I will be the one to deliver the final blow to the heart of the Titanic Cardoli of Strife."
Aglaia nodded; she was very satisfied with the result.
"Thus, the expedition team to Suspended Peak City is now complete. White Calamity of the Sorrowful Secret Pavilion, Ten Thousand Enemies of Suspended Peak City, and... Miss Eve from a foreign land."
“I—Aglaia of Ohma, of the Golden Blood, a demigod bearing the divine authority of the Titan Meneta of Romance—bless the path you are about to embark on.”
"Tian will open the gates to Suspended Peak for you. May the golden threads guide your journey and lead you home."
Xia Die walked up to Eve, her face flushed and her voice soft.
"Please...return victorious."
"I will pray for you, that you may always outrun death."
"Don't worry." Eve smiled and patted Xia Die's little head. "Death is just the daughter of life."
"Mmm..." Xia Die nodded. Although she didn't do anything drastic, her eyes were filled with excitement.
Just then, Tian strode over with arrogant little steps.
"Let's go, let's go~ Wind... Whirlwind... Suspended Edge City!"
"Whoosh! Little White, Little Enemy... Come on, fly! Let's fly over together!"
Bai'er said helplessly, "We don't have wings on our backs, Teacher Tian. Could you please open a door for us?"
“Oh… door, how boring. Alright then, open the door! ‘Hundred Realms Gate’! Whoosh—” Tian nodded.
Tian rubbed her little hands together, just like Doraemon, and conjured a door out of thin air.
Beyond the gate lies Suspended Peak City.
"Space warp technology?" Eve pondered, looking at the non-existent door.
Bai E laughed from the side, "Hahaha, you didn't think it was a real city gate, did you?"
"Don't let Teacher Tian's playful nature fool you; she's the most skilled door maker in Onpharos, and the 'Hundred Realms Door' she creates is flawless."
Eve didn't respond to Bai Er's words, but instead gave him a cold look.
This immediately made Bai E feel somewhat embarrassed.
"Ahem, anyway, just trust Teacher Tian."
"Hey, you two, instead of talking about the 'door,' you should think about how the three of us are going to fight against a massive army."
Bai E snorted coldly, "This isn't like you at all! The 'ten thousand' in 'ten thousand enemies' isn't the same as 'one against ten thousand,' isn't it?"
Tian jumped out and said, "Alright! The door...the door...soon, very soon, the 'Gate of a Hundred Realms' will open!"
“Little White, Little Enemy, and… the new little… oh? This is also Little White, are you ready to go?” Tian’s gaze was fixed on Eve, her eyes filled with curiosity.
It seems this is the woman Aya was talking about yesterday.
“Ready.” Wan Di nodded.
"Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Tian," Bai'er said.
At this moment, Danheng handed the camera to Eve.
"Take this with you."
"Let's record the scenes of this adventure for March."
“Okay.” Eve accepted the camera.
"Also, I hope you come back safely."
“Of course,” Eve nodded.
"Cough cough... Stand still, listen carefully!" Tian shouted.
"We, Tibo, Tian, and Tinin of Januspolis, messengers of the Golden Blood, demigods bearing the divine authority of the Titan Janus of the Gate—bless you!"
"May fate show you a benevolent face, and block every path that leads to death..."
"—Open every door to victory!"
The Gate to a Hundred Realms suddenly opened.
Before the three of them could even pass through the Hundred Realms Gate, the gate itself moved and sent them all inside.
.........
Suspended Peak City.
Eve and her two companions traversed the Hundred Realms Gate and arrived at a certain location in Suspended Edge City.
The place is full of ruins and dilapidated buildings.
Bai Er is scouting the situation.
"It's much quieter than I expected."
"Rotten...yet familiar."
"This is Suspended Peak City."
Looking at the familiar scene, Wan Di couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.
He finally returned to his homeland.
"I never imagined that times would change so much. Even the heartland of Nicardi is on the verge of collapse, and not a single one of its retinues can be seen."
Bai E carefully searched the area and found it to be deserted.
Wan Di said irritably, "If Xuanfeng City still has its former troops, even if it's only half a percent, Aglaia is sending us to our deaths."
"This is the outer city corridor, which used to be heavily guarded. Even if you and I joined forces, we could only go a maximum of thirty steps."
"That's not right," Bai E snorted coldly.
"It might be the same for the two of us, but if Eve is added, it's not necessarily the same."
Ever since he saw Xia Die submit to him at the heart of the cosmic vortex, and even Aglaia was bound, Bai E had already deeply acknowledged Eve's strength.
That's incredibly powerful.
Judging from her relaxed demeanor, she might not have even used her full strength.
Even a Titan might not be able to defeat her.
"Really? Then I'll have to see for myself." Wan Di no longer underestimated Eve.
Because now, they are comrades-in-arms fighting side by side.
Eve remained silent and did not speak.
"Hanging Edge City was once the place every warrior longed for; it was the best training ground."
“Wan Di, do you feel regretful that you didn’t live in an era teeming with powerful figures? If those heroes hadn’t all perished, I wouldn’t be your only rival,” Bai E said.
Wan Di sneered, "Are you scared? It's not too late to run away now."
Bai'er shook his head. "No, it's just that I remember the warriors of the past also marched along this corridor toward the city of the Spear of Heaven's Punishment, to gild their names."
"Even though this fortress is in ruins, what we need to do now is no different."
"Let's go! Reclaim the flames of conflict, or die beneath their blades."
"We can only choose one of these two honors."
“Of course, but I have no other choice,” Wan Di said arrogantly.
"Indeed, but how does it feel to revisit this place?" Bai E smiled.
“Not here, I live in the inner city.” Wan Di rolled his eyes at Bai E.
"Hahaha, as expected of the Crown Prince of Xuanfeng." Bai E shrugged.
"Hey! Why aren't you moving forward yet?" Tian suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
"Teacher Tian, there are many dangers ahead. You stay here and find a safe place to hide," Bai E instructed Tian.
"We'll be back once we've completed our mission. We'll ask you to use the Hundred Realms Gate then, okay?"
Tian nodded. "I understand. Hide well and don't let the bad guys find you!"
Eve looked at Tian, a smile unconsciously appearing on her face.
Sure enough, kids are the cutest.
Suddenly, Eve's expression changed, and the smile on her lips disappeared.
She said to Wan Di and Bai E, "The enemy is here."
"Enemies?" Wan Di and Bai E exchanged a glance. They immediately looked around, but found no trace of the enemies.
"Straight ahead."
The moment Eve finished speaking, the stone slab directly in front of them suddenly cracked, and several clay figures emerged from the ground.
Each clay figure exuded a powerful aura. They targeted Bai E and Wan Di, their stone swords aimed directly at their heads.
"There really is an enemy. I underestimated you before."
As Wan Di spoke, he swiftly attacked, smashing the stone sword with a single punch.
“And me!” Bai E also took the giant sword off his back.
