Collapse Iron: What does it mean to broaden the fate of four people in one sentence?

"Did Aha give you some kind of divine prophecy?"

The shadowy figure kept nodding and shaking its head, the movements becoming more exaggerated than before, as if trying to express something but unable to find the right way.

It paced anxiously, circling Lin Si several times, as if saying, "Let me explain, but I can't explain it." Then, as if suddenly remembering something, it abruptly stopped.

One end of the shadowy figure extended an arrow-shaped tentacle, pointing in the direction of the Dawn Machine in the distance.

Lin Si looked in the direction it pointed, her gaze falling on the glowing sphere being carried on its back, and her brows furrowed even more.

"You mean it's related to the Dawn Machines?"

The shadowy figure nodded and shook its head again, repeating the same actions as before.

Lin Si: "........."

He felt like he was talking to a shadow that "thought it had expressed all the information, but in reality hadn't said anything clearly."

The dark figure shrank back into Ceredra's shadow, as if to start anew.

Then, a few breaths later, it suddenly popped up again, as if to say, "I'm ready."

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

Lin Si looked at it with a subtle expression that said, "You'd better really be able to explain this clearly."

Hazel stood to the side, observed for a while, and then, as if she suddenly understood something, interjected.

"Caesar, is the Shadow Fish trying to express His power?"

The shadowy figure suddenly began to move violently up and down, as if saying, "Yes, yes, this is it."

Lin Si glanced at Heather, then at the dark figure, feeling somewhat bewildered.

"It still has powers?"

"...?"

Heather was slightly taken aback.

This time, she didn't doubt Caesar's authenticity, but first quietly questioned herself.

After all, her many experiences had taught her that when faced with Caesar's sometimes "unusual" behavior, she should not question him first, but rather question whether she had misunderstood anything.

After all, Caesar must have had her reasons for doing this.

"Does Zagres not have any authority?"

Her voice carried a hint of uncertainty, as if she was trying to compare this conclusion with the information she already knew.

Lin Si was taken aback when she heard her muttering.

His gaze shifted back and forth between the shadowy figures and the distant dawn machines, as if he were reconfirming something.

What's the meaning?

Is this shadow the treacherous Titan Zagreus?

He looked at the dark figure.

As if sensing his gaze, the shadowy figure began to emit teardrop-shaped droplets from its edges, which fell one by one.

The gesture conveyed a sense of grievance and emotion, as if saying, "You finally know me."

Crydela, in her consciousness, saw this scene and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Hehehe."

In the years since the Demon King left, she has occasionally communicated with Zagres's shadow. She has come to understand that Zagres cares deeply for the Demon King.

As for how much they care?

"It was heartbroken for a long time because you didn't recognize it right away, Demon King."

Lin Si, of course, was unaware of this.

He watched the shadowy figure suddenly become so dramatic, and his lips twitched.

Zagres, the cunning Titan.

There are very few mentions of Him in the stories of Tibbers, as if He was deliberately placed in the background.

He doesn't seem to appear in public often; Tiffany has only told a few scattered stories about Him.

He once disguised himself as the romantic Titan Meneta, impersonating the Golden Family to receive worship, leading believers to regard theft as a sacrament.

His favorite thing to do was to frantically steal the tributes from other Titans.

Following the portal, the Titan Janus reversed the passageway used by the gods, causing the other Titans to become lost in the passageway for an entire day, plunging the whole of Onpharos into chaos.

His initial motivation for doing this was simply to be able to steal the tributes from other Titans without any restraint...

"The power of deception, fraud?"

Lin Si looked at the dark figure and tried asking a question.

The dark figure immediately began to move violently up and down, with such large movements that it seemed as if it were about to be launched from its spot.

Then it circled around Lin Si, took his hand, as if to say, "You finally guessed it."

Lin Si was stunned for a moment.

"You mean I can use your powers?"

The dark figure bobbed up and down excitedly again, as if to say, "That's right, that's exactly what you thought."

Lin Si remained silent for a while.

"Deception is also a form of trust..."

"Belief...is the power of will..."

He repeated the words in a low voice, then stopped and sighed softly.

"So, trickery is Aha's driving force, right?"

He didn't wait for an answer, because he already had the answer himself.

He sat down again, his gaze fixed on the distant sky.

Heather stood by, finally emerging from her self-doubt.

She felt that figuring out "what Caesar really meant" had taken up a lot of her energy and she needed to find something else to make up for it.

In other words: she wants to drink.

Her gaze shifted slightly, landing on a spot in the corner of the garden where she had buried several bottles of honey wine.

She needs to drink a glass to make up for the lost 'brain cells'.

So she turned and walked to another part of the garden, squatted down at the edge of the flower bushes, and began to use her hands to clear away the soil that had been buried.

A dark shadow floated beside Lin Si, like a companion who was thinking along with her.

Lin Si looked at the distant sky, remained silent for a while, and then spoke.

"So you mean to set up a lie and make Arafus and Geocleus believe it."

This direction is indeed feasible.

The problem is that the lie needs to be true enough to make powerful figures like Ara-Flute and Geoceles willingly wait for several years.

However, doing so carries enormous risks.

Because once a lie is exposed, the consequences are worse than 'doing nothing'.

But Lin Si smiled.

To borrow a famous quote, I would rather make a mistake than do nothing.

Chapter 414 Is Aglaia good at painting?

"Can you make something fictional into something tangible?"

Lin Si turned to the dark shadow still floating in mid-air, her gaze falling on its churning outline.

The shadowy figure fell silent for a moment, as if processing the weight of the question.

Then it started nodding, very vigorously and firmly, as if to say, "Of course."

Lin Si watched its movements, remained silent for a moment, and then the corners of her mouth slowly curved upwards.

"That makes things simple."

He stood up and walked to the table.

Then he saw Heather squatting in the corner of the garden, digging at something in the dirt with her hands.

Her hands swung wildly as she lay there, her buttocks sticking out, her movements carrying a strange sense of humor.

Lin Si's lips twitched, but she didn't interrupt her.

He sat down at the table, picked up a pen and paper, and began to draw.

He drew very carefully.

Start with the outline, sketching little by little: head, body, limbs, tail, scales.

He tried hard to paint a majestic dragon that fit the image of "immortality".

But when he finished drawing it, he fell silent.

On the paper, a crooked, disproportionate "dragon" with a tail that looks like it has been folded and reattached lies quietly.

Lin Si's eyebrows twitched suddenly.

"What a miscalculation..."

He sighed softly.

"I can't draw either."

His idea was actually very simple.

The mountain people call the earth beasts "dragons," while the earth titan Georia seems to be pursuing immortality.

All he had to do was follow this direction, create a dragon that fit the image of "immortality," and tell Aragaki and Geocleus that they had found "another kind of dragon."

They would naturally take the image of the dragon to Gioria for verification.

Gioria certainly didn't know what this dragon was.

All Caesar needed to do was tell them that the dragon came from outer space.

They most likely won't believe it.

But not long after, the train crew, these real extraterrestrials, will arrive in Onfaros.

The train crew naturally had ways to prove they were extraterrestrials.

They will surely be able to see that this dragon is imitating the image of "immortality," and then they will tell Aragaki and Geocleus, "This is indeed another kind of dragon."

They have no choice but to believe the "testimony" given by the true beings from beyond the heavens!

At that time, all their doubts about Caesar's 'indifference' will completely vanish!

Because Caesar was indeed searching for what the mountain people cared about.

Arabi is a giant earth beast, which is called a dragon.

In Arabi's understanding, this dragon is a member of the same race that looks different.

Since Caesar has even found "another kind of dragon," what reason do they have to doubt him?

The highest level of lying is that it appears true from every angle, but only the person who started it knows that it is false!

but......

Lin Si looked down and glanced again at the crooked dragon on the paper.

His temples began to throb slightly.

"To bring Zagreb to life based on this image..."

"Won't they think Caesar is insulting them?"

"It definitely will, right?"
