They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 493 Taranton, who minds his own business
Mortes clearly sees Danlei as one of the Titans who can't stand the current state of Janusapolis.

From her perspective, forging divine pronouncements to make money is blasphemous.

Moreover, as the number of erroneous oracles increases, it affects not only the credibility of the prophecies of the three Titans of Fate, but also the prophecies of other Titans.

After all, if the prophecies of the three Titans, which represent destiny, were wrong, what credibility do the prophecies of the other Titans have?

In fact, Mortes had already begun to suspect that Janus's death was related to the unknown Titan before her.

However, besides being a priestess, Mortes was also a mother, and she had no idea what had happened to Janus.

Given that Tirispeius is still on Danlei's side, Mortes won't cause trouble because of Janus.

When Danlei saw Mortes kneel down, he didn't take the opportunity to admit that he was a Titan.

Given the Titans of Onphalus's level, why would I need to impersonate them?
So, Danlei didn't help Mortes get up, but instead said calmly...
"As I said before, I don't need the Titans to vindicate me."

Moreover, I am not Titan.

If you require a respectful title for me, simply call me Dragon Lord.

Dan Lei had Mortes call him Dragon Lord, which was a habit, as it was the most common honorific title used by various factions to address him.

However, Mortes exclaimed as soon as Danlei finished speaking.
"What! You are the Dragon God who, according to the prophecy of Cephalos, can carry Onphalos across the stars and the sea!"

Upon hearing this, Dan Lei immediately realized what he had overlooked.

Each cycle of reincarnation in Onpharos is constructed from the memories of Bai E, who inherited the seed of the Negative World from the previous cycle.

Clearly, Danlei left a very deep impression on Bai'er in the previous cycle, so in this cycle, Onpharos will naturally have legends related to the Dragon God.

Realizing this, Danlei glanced at Cephall, who was carrying the Dawn Machine on the horizon, then turned to Mortes and said...

"I never imagined that my legend would still be passed down on this land."

I thought people these days only knew about the Twelve Titans, and not the Dragon God.

Upon hearing Dan Lei's words, Mortes looked surprised and asked in astonishment.

"Why do you say that, Lord Dragon God?"

The term "Dragon God" frequently appears in prophecies related to saviors from outer space.

Legend has it that you are an ally of the savior, and after the savior rescues Onphalus, you will become a vessel carrying the world to the stars and the sea.

Your prophecies are not widely circulated among the common people, but priests of various sects are generally aware of them.

Upon hearing Mortes's words, Dan Lei suddenly felt an urge to go back to the 33550336th cycle of reincarnation, pick up Bai E, and throw him into the icy lake to wake him up.

Because this operation was definitely not the work of Lai Gushi.

If he were to write a prophecy, he would certainly depict the Iron Tomb as the ship that carried Onphalus.

Clearly, Bai Er defined himself as an ally of the savior in order to protect the star.

This isn't entirely unfounded; Dan Lei admits that he is an ally of the Star Train.

But is it just nonsense for Bai Er to describe himself as the ark carrying Onphalus to the stars and the sea? Is he trying to pin this on himself?

In short, Dan Lei suddenly felt a wave of exhaustion.

However, Bai E's little scheme actually made things easier for him later on.

Therefore, Danlei ultimately did not deny the prophecy, but instead said...
"Now that you know who I am, get up."

"Titi, open a door to the altar of the gods; Janus's fire is still over there."

After Danlei finished speaking, Titi waved her hand gently, and a golden gate opened instantly.

When Mortes saw the golden gate, she immediately looked puzzled, and even Tyrisippius, who was helping her up, had the same expression.

When I first saw this door, there were guards banging on it, and the door closed after Dan Lei and his three companions came out.

So neither of them really paid much attention to the door at the time.

However, now that the two knew Dan Lei's identity, they were less nervous. In an instant, they sensed that the power used by the folding fan door was exactly the same as the power used by Janus Secret Path.

To be precise, this door is the ultimate enhanced version of the Janus Secret Path, practically a manifestation of Janus's divine power.

This, combined with Titi's earlier act of swearing an oath in Janus's name, and Danlei's identity, suggests a connection between these two factors.

Mortes has begun to suspect that Titi might be one of Janus's servants.

Unfortunately, reality didn't give them that much time to think. As Saifeier took the lead in stepping into the Hundred Realms Gate, Mortes, Tirisippius, and their two guards followed Danlei into the Hundred Realms Gate.

Upon re-entering the altar of worship, Dan Lei saw soldiers lying on the ground at the entrance to the Hundred Realms.

Saifeier was running around among a group of soldiers, teasing them like a circus performer.

These soldiers were clearly Damnatio's guards. When they saw a Dolorian running out of a golden portal, they immediately arrested him without saying a word.

Saifeier is the type of demigod who is not good at direct combat, but that's still within the realm of demigods.

Dealing with these soldiers who weren't even of the Golden Clan was incredibly easy for Sai Fei'er; they couldn't even touch a single hair on her head.

Of course, these soldiers also received benefits for capturing Saifeier.

They get to enjoy being kicked and stepped on by beautiful catgirls.

A lucky few can even feel firsthand how tightly Sai Fei'er's firm and elastic thighs and calves can be squeezed together.

Of course, after receiving the welfare benefits, you'll definitely be thrown around, and neck injuries are a certainty.

Seeing that Sai Feier was having fun, Dan Lei didn't stop her, he just said...
"Sai Fei'er, have fun, but don't forget your old profession."

Upon hearing this, Sai Fei'er immediately understood Dan Lei's meaning. She took out her homemade suction device, which resembled a magnet, stood on a soldier's head, and began to indiscriminately suck up the surrounding people.

A large number of one-yuan coins, along with the soldiers' weapons, were sucked into Saifei'er's personal space pocket by the sucker.

Even the spark of the gate was sucked in.

It's important to understand that a single Liheng coin is like a tiny grain of sand.

The coins used by the Onphalus were made by stacking and gluing together these tiny, sand-like weights.

Because the scales of Tarranton can weigh the value of everything, when people trade, they only need to place the block of metric coins on the scales to know how much the coin is worth, without having to specifically count how many metric coins are in the adhesive.

Therefore, it is pointless to make counterfeit coins with worthless real sand inside and real coins on the outside.

Because the Onphalus people never judged value by the size of a coin.

However, those who can now stand on the altar to worship the gods are either truly penniless (most soldiers) or wealthy (priests, soldier managers, etc.).

In any case, the Liheng coins extracted from these people were basically made from pure Liheng coins.

Just one of these coins, if placed in the hands of someone at the bottom of society, would be enough to cover the expenses of an average family of three for about a month.

You must understand, these priests of Janusapolis are blasphemous men who would do anything for money. Stealing their money is no different from taking their lives.

The priests, who had been watching the soldiers catch the cat, suddenly turned red-faced and, completely disregarding their image, urged the soldiers to quickly capture the thief from Dolores.

However, some of these priests still retained their sanity.

Damnatio, who was leading the group, felt uneasy when he saw Mortes and her daughter follow Danlei, who was clearly no ordinary person, out of the golden portal.

Unsure of who Dan Lei was, and given Sai Fei'er's formidable fighting prowess, it seemed his incompetent subordinates couldn't guarantee his safety.

So when the other priests were clamoring for the immediate capture of Sephiroth, he disregarded the loss of Janus's fire in his hand and roared...

"Silence! You are being extremely disrespectful before the altar of the Three Titans of Fate!"
"All soldiers, protect the priest's safety, and stop capturing this Dolorian!"

Damnatio's words are still useful in Janusapolis.

The priests immediately stopped shouting, and the soldiers retreated to the front of the priests, acting as human shields.

With several rows of soldiers protecting him, Damnatio felt somewhat safer.

So he yelled directly at Mortes
"High Priest, what is your purpose in colluding with these outsiders to come to the holy land of the Three Titans of Fate?"
Or are these people the murderers of Janus, and now they're here to help you seize power?!

Damnatio really knows how to label people; with just a few words, he placed Mortes in opposition to all the followers of the Three Titans of Fate.

However, he didn't expect that Dan Lei actually had the ability to overturn the table.

It's clear that the events at Mortes's residence on the hilltop haven't been reported here yet.

Otherwise, Damnatio, who knows the strength of Dan Lei's team, would definitely not dare to jump out and shout.

Faced with Damnatio's questioning, Mortes reflexively tried to explain.

But Danlei didn't have time to watch Damnatio unilaterally crush Mortes.

Judging from Damnatio's reaction just now, when it comes to sophistry, Mortes is definitely no match for him.

So Danlei raised a hand to stop Mortes's explanation, not even glancing at Damnatio, and coldly spoke to the valley behind the altar of worship.

"Tarantun, you're the only Titan left here. Aren't you going to say something or let these blasphemers talk to me?"

As soon as Dan Lei finished speaking, a mist rose in front of the altar to the gods, from which came the Titan voice of Tarantun.

The Titan language of Tarantun, which Danlei can translate directly using Immortal One, means very simply that she wants to speak to Danlei.

“These people are not my followers.”

Both Mortes and Tirispius were saints who could understand the whispers of the Titans.

It's alright that Tirisipius hasn't become a saint yet, but Mortes, who has been a saint for most of her life, and several other saints in the priesthood who colluded with Damnadio, knelt down instantly upon hearing Tarranton's words.

Mortes knelt on the ground and cried to Tarranton.
"Scales of Justice, Tarantun, Titan of the Law, have you abandoned us sinners?"

Mortes' words made the other priests instantly realize something, and some of them immediately gave orders to the soldiers around them.
"Quickly, take the high priestess away! She's gone mad!"

However, the soldiers dared not make a move in front of Tarranton.

Legend has it that the Titans of Law will not tolerate favoritism or injustice and will render judgment on all those who forsake their oaths and transgress their boundaries.

Therefore, these soldiers with guilty consciences were now hoping that Tarantun would not notice them and dared not step forward at all.

However, upon hearing what Taranton said, Dan Lei immediately responded with disdain.
"You think you can wash your hands of it by simply saying you're not one of your followers?"
Since they haven't used your name to deceive or defraud anyone, you should just ignore it.

After Danlei finished speaking, another Titan's voice came from Taranton, meaning...
“They are followers of Janus, and it’s none of my business.”

After hearing what Taranton said, Dan Lei didn't want to discuss anything more with her.

After all, in the previous cycle, Janus died and became the spark, and Tarranton did not directly punish the priests of Janusapolis with divine punishment.

It wasn't until a century after Tirispeius fled that the priests of Janusapolis were all killed for fabricating oracles to slander Caesar Clytera, finally ending Janusapolis's fraudulent prophecies.

However, this only stopped it for a period of time. After Crydella's death, the prophecy fraud industry quickly restarted here until it was completely swallowed up by the Black Tide and fell into complete decline.

It seems that Tarranton really doesn't care about other people's business; I wonder where her image as someone who hates evil in Titan legends came from.

Therefore, Dan Lei said directly
"Since they are not your followers, you won't get involved no matter how I handle it, right?"

To this question, Tarranton answered "yes" directly, and then immediately disappeared, demonstrating through her actions that she was no longer concerned with what happened next.

At this moment, news of what had happened on the hill where the saint resided finally reached Damnatio's ears.

Based on the man's words, Tarranton, who had rarely manifested in the human world, obediently came out. It can now be basically confirmed that the man in front of him is at least a Titan.

When Damnatio saw Danlei's gaze sweep over him again, he immediately pushed aside the soldiers, rushed to Danlei, and knelt down.

"Ah! Reverend Titan, God of Onphalus."

Your servant, Damnadio, High Priest of Janus, greets you.

After saying that, Damnatio began to kneel and bow repeatedly to Danlei.

Even the most foolish priests of Damnatio's faction realized Danlei's identity at this moment, and they all knelt down and kowtowed.

The priests all knelt down, and the soldiers naturally dared not continue standing; they could only follow suit and kneel down in worship.

In an instant, the entire area in front of the altar to the gods was filled with people kneeling on the ground.

Seeing this, Dan Lei felt a little embarrassed to directly bully them, so he summoned three hundred magical puppets and the computational insects that had transformed into flying dragons, and said to Mortes...
"These three hundred dragon riders are now under your command. If necessary, they can help you slaughter the entire Janusapolis."

I demand that all blasphemers be punished.

Not just Damnatio's faction, I'm talking about everyone.

Moreover, masterminds like Damnatio and his cronies must be executed in a sacrificial ceremony to expose all their crimes.

All their wealth and that of their families were confiscated.

I'll have Saifei help you find their property.

But you can't use these assets freely after they're confiscated. I'll arrange for a teacher to teach you how to use them afterwards.

After saying that, Dan Lei gave Sai Feier a look.

She immediately and respectfully handed the torch of knowledge to Dan Lei.

Then Danlei said to Tirispius
“Tiricipios, come before me now and accept your fate.”

　Tarranton's death was clearly much later than Tirispius's escape.

　　Because the deal that made Crydella a Golden Child was done with Tarranton.

　　Krydella was originally an ordinary person; she was the same age as a normal person when she was a little girl.

　　The Liberation War of Lyquay took place in 3851, 89 years after Tirispius fled.

　　Based on Crydella's age, Taranton was still alive at least 70 years after Tirispius's escape.
