You are all my wings...

After saying that, she winked at Leon, curled her fingers around a strand of light blue hair, hesitated, and then pulled Camille away.

In the past, Orpheus said, "Tayamisili, thank you for waking me up this time. You should go and rest for now."

"Ok."

With a flap of her wings, Tayami Shiri lightly followed Hamra and the other two.

In the blink of an eye, several people left, and the past version of Orpheus spoke up: "I have already set up information flow barriers around here, so you can reveal that so-called secret now."

Terena reached out and gently touched his elbow, her slender fingers lightly tapping Leon's palm, then nodded to him.

"So it seems you've all decided to get involved in this?"

Lyon said seriously, "In that case, you two should prepare to form a united front and eliminate hostility, so that you can withstand the enormous pressure that may come next."

That was his real purpose: to use the secret to bring the two together as a small group.

As for what secret to use, he naturally selected it in advance using the spacetime miracle divination technique to avoid the other party knowing something beforehand.

Orpheus raised an eyebrow, clearly seeing through Leon's thoughts, and looked over with a half-smile, then said, "Let's see if the information you're talking about is really that amazing."

Terena glanced at Leon, but she didn't say anything.

Lyon said, "The first piece of information is that there are two Origin Goddesses, and they joined forces to suppress Jormungandr six million years ago."

As he said this, Leon kept a close eye on Terena's expression.

Because Terena may have also tracked down to the First Realm Island six million years ago, she might have guessed Cheng Erheli's identity.

But he still chose to start this way because if Terena didn't know, it meant he had more room to maneuver.

To Leon's surprise, Terena showed a hint of astonishment upon hearing this, indicating that she was unaware of the aftermath of the First World Island incident.

Beside him, the former version of Orpheus said, "Two Origin Goddesses? You mean their clones?"

Lyon said, "No, it is another Origin Goddess born from the origin of another entirely new world outside of this world."

Terena's eyes flickered: "You mean, the one who kidnapped you six million years ago was the Origin Goddess born from that other Origin Land?"

It seems she has realized that Leon is referring to Cheng Erheli.

Lyon said, "No, I think the situation is the opposite. Petrified is another origin goddess from outside this world, while the origin goddess of this Auster world is the one who kidnapped me in the first place."

Why is that?

A hint of something unusual appeared on Terena's usually cool face.

"It's simple. Although Petrified also controls the universe of this world, she often doesn't stay in this world herself, but instead lingers in another place of origin for extended periods. Also, Terena, you should know very well that Jormungandr and Petrified are both supreme gods, but they have one huge difference..."

"You mean the Era Spirits?"

Terena's eyes flickered slightly.

Lyon nodded: "That's right. At the end of the Genesis Era, Petelides introduced the seeds of the Sacred Tree from outside the world, and then used them to nurture each generation of Era Spirits, thus helping them survive the end of the era. But the Goddess of the End, whenever it's her turn to act, doesn't need to do any of these things; she only needs to act alone. As two supreme beings, according to mythological history, half of the Goddess of the End's origin is the power of the world's end, and the other half is the power of the tides of birth and death from outside the world. Only when the two are combined does she become the Goddess of the End. Logically speaking, the Goddess of the End's authority in this world should be slightly weaker than that of the Origin Goddess, who was born entirely from within the world. But the outcome of their battles is always more often won than lost. Isn't that strange?"

He had noticed these doubts long ago, and after communicating with several goddesses and through this divination, he finally realized that they were not fabricated.

Upon hearing this, Terena nodded slightly: "That does make some sense, but these two points are situational evidence, not direct evidence, right? Perhaps we can explain it the other way around, for example, that the power of the birth and death tide is inherently stronger than a newly born world? Although that's a bit far-fetched, it's not entirely unreasonable."

Lyon said, "That is indeed a point of doubt, but based on the current evidence, it is the closest guess to the answer."

The previous version of Orpheus frowned and said, "Wait, after all you've said, who exactly is the other Origin Goddess?"

"Please don't be in a hurry, Your Excellency."

Lyon said, "I cannot reveal the name of the true Origin Goddess for the time being. I can only tell you that the alliance of these two Origin Goddesses is most likely the fundamental reason why the world has come to a complete end and cannot restart and start a new era."

Orpheus, in the past, said, "That's strange. Jormungandr represents the end. If she is suppressed, the end of the world will inevitably be delayed."

Lyon shook his head: "No, quite the opposite."

Terena said, "Are you saying that the balance between the End and the Origin game has been broken? If Jormungandr is really suppressed, then the subsequent struggle will be a struggle between the two Origin Gods, one inside and one outside?"

The past version of Orpheus's eyes flashed: "Interesting. Because they all want to seize the power of the world's origin, they can't form a normal origin-end cycle, causing the world to completely collapse and unable to restart?"

Lyon said, "That's right. I've been thinking about why Her Majesty Jormungandr sent me to this era just before she was suppressed. Now that I've seen the scene of the world wailing as the two fight, I understand. It's so torturous for the world when the two masters of the Forbidden Zones fight even slightly seriously. It's clear that the world is becoming increasingly fragile and can't withstand too much fighting."

He added, "If Petrified is an externally originating god, then the fact that the world is becoming weaker and weaker is also a key piece of evidence, because her foundation is not here."

"Interesting, really interesting."

Orpheus laughed: "It seems you weren't just making things up, Lyon. This secret is very important. If Petrified is really an external origin god, then we have the key to defeating her."

She turned to Terena and said, "In that case, Terena, let's cooperate. Let's get rid of this Outer Origin God, gain more power among the Ten Strong, and incidentally solve the problem of the world's imminent collapse."

Terena didn't answer, but looked at Leon: "This is the result you expected, isn't it?"

Lyon's heart skipped a beat.

What's going on? Why does Terena suddenly seem a little strange?

What did she mean by asking that?

Why does she look so subtly different in mood and state now compared to before?

Or did you say something that you accidentally triggered something?

With doubt in his eyes, Leon said seriously, "What I hope for is that the two of you will stop fighting, avoid conflict, and resolve your enmity."

Terena asked, "Is that all? Is there anything else?"

The previous version of Orpheus frowned and said, "Terena, now I'm asking if you'll cooperate! You should know that I don't usually make such a proposal."

Terena shook her head: "I will not respond to your offer of cooperation until I get a truthful answer from Lyon."

For once, a hint of seriousness and unwavering stubbornness appeared on her usually aloof and indifferent delicate face.

Chapter 581 Orpheus: It seems this alternate personality isn't all bad.

Want to know my real answer?

Leon and Terena looked at each other, trying to read something from her expression.

The result was completely undetectable; at this point, she was even unusually calm.

My answer is the same as before.

He said, "However, if you want to know my true thoughts, I do have some selfish motives."

Terena's expression finally shifted slightly: "What ulterior motive?"

Lyon said, “It’s simple. Six million years ago, you and I were husband and wife in name and in reality. Orpheus and I have already accomplished all of this in this era. She even gave birth to a daughter for me. So, what I really hope is that you can get along harmoniously as my wife.”

He could have made up many reasons.

But faced with Terena's unprecedented performance, he decided to confront her directly.

Since she was familiar with him six million years ago, and even after reincarnation, her strength has recovered considerably, and she has also met Hamra, Camille, Burelita, Elis, Machiru, and others, she should have known his thoughts long ago.

Of course, Leon still hadn't figured out the true purpose behind her words and needed to continue observing Terena's reaction.

Whether his words would satisfy Terena was another matter, but the past version of Orpheus was both angry and amused. She glared at Leon and snorted:

"Boy, I didn't expect you to be so young yet so audacious, actually wanting to share two Forbidden Zone Lords as your wives?"

"Your Excellency has made a mistake."

Leon turned to look at the past version of Orpheus: "When I met your alternate personality, I didn't know your identity, and you hadn't regained your original personality yet. Even after you regained your original personality, I still didn't give up the idea of ​​keeping your alternate personality, because all the memories and feelings she shared with me in the past are precious things that can't be washed away."

[Goddess Ophima's favorability +1%, current favorability 146%]

The past version of Orpheus's eyes flickered, and then he said, "That's a nice way to put it, but you have to remember why I left behind this alternate personality."

Lyon said, "Of course I know, which is why I hope the two of you can get along harmoniously, cooperate with each other, and avoid internal strife."

“Very well, but you must remember that I am only willing to cooperate with Terena temporarily until the end of the world is over.”

As she spoke, the past version of Orpheus looked at Terena: "Well, has your Leon given you a satisfactory answer yet?"

Terena sighed softly: "Meaningless fighting is indeed a waste of time. I can agree to cooperation and allow you and Leon to do some things, but in the days to come, Leon must be under my surveillance. Otherwise, I would rather fight you until the world collapses than agree to cooperation."

Lyon could tell from her expression that she was not entirely satisfied with his answer.

Fortunately, she agreed to the collaboration and will not fight with the previous version of Orpheus for the time being.

Judging from their combat strength, he felt that Terena would have a slight advantage because she regained her rank earlier.

He wondered if she harbored other thoughts... Leon fell into deep thought.

The previous version of Orpheus smiled slightly: "Very good."

She realized that Terena probably valued Leon more, so she cared more about Leon's feelings and was therefore more willing to relinquish some rights.

'It seems that developing this alternate personality isn't all bad.'

……

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

After the three reached a temporary agreement, they left the royal court and went directly to the deep boundary between the End Land and the inner layer of the River of Time to find the so-called end of the River of Time.

They planned to take a physical look at the situation at the end of time in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

As for the temporary disappearance of the human empress Ophimaso, Leon, in the form of a preliminary power, sent a message to Hamra and Camille, asking them to take over in her place.

Of course, while Hamra and Camille are among the strongest in the mortal realm, there is a fatal racial problem for them to rule the human empire: neither of them are pure-blooded humans.

Previously, with the real human empress keeping the situation under control, and Hamra and Camille occasionally stepping in to assist, they were able to hold on.

Therefore, Hamra informed Lyon that she would send a message urging the three popes (Castiga, Morlipe, and Britta) to return as soon as possible and assume power in place of the papacy.

In the early days of Lyon's return, they were still preaching in various parts of the continent, accelerating the spread of the Astalia religion. When they received the message of Lyon's return, they returned as soon as possible. However, when they returned to human territory, Lyon and his two companions had already left. It was a regrettable farewell.

As for the disappearances of Iris and Machiru, the temporary absence of Baisaqilai from this era, the lingering soul of Anemi, the whereabouts of Helvie, the search for Angelo, and the preparations for meeting Keketi, Leon could only postpone these matters until he had thoroughly dealt with the relationship between the two great gods, Ophimaso and Terena.

After all, their relationship is only temporary, and it will probably take a long time before they can get along harmoniously.

Even with two Lords of the Forbidden Zone leading the way, tearing through the void and piercing through vast spatial barriers, it still took three days to reach the depths where the End Land meets the River of Time.

According to the previous version of Orpheus, if it were just going to the depths of the End Land, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone could reach it in just a few hours with his strength.

However, if it is the place where the End of Time and the River of Time meet, it is a super-giant time-space maze. Speed ​​is not the key; getting the direction right is the core.

Leon, on the other hand, is responsible for using the End Seal and the divination of time and space miracles to locate that end.

Along the way, he naturally took the opportunity to rapidly advance his learning of eleventh-order elemental magic using the fifteen modes.

Since the carrying mode has been sublimated into the only perfect mode at present, and has an extremely long duration of eleven hours, he still has plenty of time to learn eleventh-level magic even if he skips levels.

In just three days, he had already advanced each of the four spells to 99%, and was only a few days' worth of accumulation away from perfection.

If it weren't for the sublimation of the carrying mode he received upon his return, it would have taken him at least several months to learn these four spells based solely on the previous fifteen modes. Moreover, he would have needed to accumulate experience for a while before breaking through to the perfect level. This shows how much the perfect level mode provides.

On this day, in front of an invisible vortex with massive fluctuations of time, three figures, enveloped by two powerful barriers of authority, swiftly traversed this vast place, like ants in a boundless ocean.

"Kid, wake up. In a little while, we'll enter the inner region where the River of Time and the Land of the End meet. Even with your physique, it will be very dangerous from here on out. You have two choices: stick close to me or stick close to Terena. This is a matter of life and death; there's no chance to have it both ways. What do you want to choose?"

Leon snapped out of his meditative state and opened his eyes to see the past version of Orpheus gripping his shoulder, a mischievous smile playing on her bright red lips.

Chapter 582 Orpheus: Don't mess around in front of me

Regarding the question about the previous version of Orpheus, Leon didn't hesitate to hug Therina beside him and laughed:

"Of course I'm with my wife."

[Goddess Therina's favorability +2%, current favorability 144%]

Terena's eyes flickered slightly, her cheeks flushed briefly, and she tightened her embrace on Leon with her other hand almost imperceptibly.

The former version of Orpheus's pretty face darkened, and a hint of coldness appeared in her eyes: "Oh?"

"Your Excellency, what I deeply love is your alternate personality. As for your primary personality, haven't you yet acknowledged our relationship?"

Lyon, on the contrary, felt emboldened.

Unlike before, he now has the initiative in the situation.

Of course, his reliance is not entirely on the cooperative relationship established between Orpheus and Terena in the past. After all, there is no explicit contract, and it is easy to break the agreement if things go too far.

His reliance was mainly on the fact that he had figured out the personalities of the two women and had a general grasp of their bottom line, so at least what he had just said should be safe.
