Star Iron, conquer the world from Omphalos

"Tsk, this broken door is really troublesome."

Ash frowned.

"Tibao obtained the power of Janus. I have never seen her fight, but her power should not be underestimated." Xiadie said softly.

"Forget it, next time we meet, it will be on the battlefield." Ash's eyes turned, "Xiadie, thank you for staying."

"I just think... Shurima's ideals are not wrong." Xiadie looked toward the distant city. "If the Oracle of Savior can't even tolerate a nation that wants to bring stability to its people, how can it save everyone? I don't know what's right, but I hope my choice is the right one."

"Don't worry." Ash smiled slightly, "Shurima never disappoints those who believe in it."

...

The meeting with Aglaya naturally ended in failure.

Ash never thought about reconciling with Ohma. He just wanted to see what kind of person this legendary woman who controlled everything behind the scenes was.

It turns out, not his type.

He doesn't like rational thinking to be the first priority in everything. If everything is only about profit, then what's the point? Isn't the reason I work so hard just to say no to those self-righteous people?

Perhaps from Aglaya's perspective, she gave everything to save the world and would not tolerate any "exceptions", but she is herself, she has her own ideas, and Ash also has his own ideas.

Ash is not her father, why should he stand in her shoes and consider her?

In a nutshell, if they are enemies, then fight them, and whoever wins is right.

So after returning to Shurima, Ash immediately accelerated the establishment of the team of Ascendants. He personally selected more than one hundred suitable people from the initial people who joined Shurima, and held an ascension ceremony for them after asking about their own wishes.

These people had experienced the wars with Xuanfeng and Ohma, and fought to protect the birth of Shurima. Perhaps because of this reason, although they did not obtain as powerful power as Julius, the number of people baptized by the power of the sun was as high as fifty-two, which really shocked Ash.

You know, the success rate of those who had undergone baptism before was not even 10%.

With these people, combined with the previous successes, Ash formed a hundred-man imperial guard company, with Julius as the first captain.

"Unfortunately, the number of people is still too small. If there were a few battle groups, it would be no problem to defeat Omphalos."

Although he thought about it, he was still very happy to be able to produce so many quasi-ascending warriors at once, and after these days of recruitment, the size of the garrison returned to two thousand.

The advantage of living in the apocalyptic setting is that even if the recruits have not received much training, they still have considerable combat effectiveness. After all, any tribe with this kind of background that does not have some strength would have been swallowed up by the black tide long ago.

After the garrison was initially established, the screening of the Sun Guards was also carried out.

While Ash was immersed in improving his own strength, he kept an eye on the situation outside.

Aglaya will never do a business that loses money, so with Shurima here, Ohma's army will not really attack the city of Hanging Blade.

But they are not in a hurry, but Xuanfeng City is.

The situation in Nicadori could not be delayed any longer, so Xuanfeng City directly dispatched an elite team to raid the Abyss of Destiny. Unfortunately, they were blocked by the tribes and enemies in the temple, and were beaten back without even seeing Oronis.

Then Ash also asked Xiadie to rush over. The latter could communicate with Oronis. If possible, it would be great to bring this Titan to Shurima.

As for Ash himself, he needs to stay in Shurima and preside over the ascension ceremony while also guarding against Aglaia's secret actions.

wow~~

Inside the temple.

Ash sat cross-legged under the sun disk, with golden sand flowing around him.

On the back of his hand, the scale of the circular mark burned with golden flames, moving step by step towards the third level of power.

"So, what's going on in this world?"

While practicing, Ash was thinking about this issue. He had been thinking about this issue since he had a complete falling out with Aglaya.

Ultimately, Omfalos is the game world of StarMetal 3.0, and as a pool character, Aglaia's behavior should be consistent with the main storyline of the game.

"If the world is a cycle, then everything is doomed to destruction. What's the point of the Golden Descendants collecting the fire? To restart a new world?"

Ash must understand this clearly. After all, he and Shurima are both on this planet. He is confident that he can deal with both Xuanfeng and Ohma, but if it is something that touches the rules of this world, then it is not a problem at the level of just Titans.

"Memory...intelligence...if the world is constantly reincarnating, then isn't the essence of this world 'memory'?" Ash pondered. "In a world destined for destruction, the power of intellect causes it to endlessly repeat calculations, seeking the key to a breakthrough. However, due to the influence of the third power, it has been unable to achieve self-breakthrough, and thus is trapped in the stable operation maintained by the entanglement of the three destinies..."

Ash felt as if he had grasped something.

"So, the power of 'exploration' is needed to break the balance?"

He remembered that before the update was released, a PV had appeared showing Xilian being killed. The black mask and the blade had sparked a flurry of discussion, with many believing that it was Bai'e, a darkened version of Bai'e, who had killed Xilian. So, when Ash first saw Bai'e, he thought of the ancestor Kevin.

"If the blackened Bai'e was born from this world's endless cycle, then after witnessing the truth that the world is constantly burning, it's not impossible that he killed everyone in despair in an attempt to stop the cycle... Wait, the black tide, this thing seems to be spreading like a 'virus'. Maybe the Titans' madness is also related to it. Is this third power the 'end'? Or..."

hum~~

A loud scream suddenly rang in Ash's ears!

It is not a voice coming from the outside world, but a powerful and irresistible force of rules that comes from within this world!

This force was constantly repelling him, as if it wanted to 'clear' him - crack, crack~ The force from the surrounding space began to compress violently. At the same time, large amounts of pitch-black matter burst out from the space and surrounded Ash!

Kuroshio?!

Ash's pupils shrank.

The black substance quickly covered half of the temple, filling the area around Ash and swallowing him whole. It was so fast that it didn't even give him a chance to react.

"Break it for me!"

Ash unleashed his full power.

However, the black tide kept crawling towards him like crazy, and there was no way to stop it!

At this moment, the sun disk suddenly burst out with a dazzling light.

boom! ! !

In the depths of the distant universe, a force from "outside the world" instantly descended, piercing through the Möbius strip formed by the three intertwined destinies, descending upon Ash, and completely destroying the black tide around him!

In a trance, Ash seemed to see a figure wearing a crown, as bright as crystal, and then the scene changed, and next to this figure appeared a scrapped machine head.

The last two images disappeared and were replaced by a golden light. In the golden light, Yaxiu saw the familiar figure again.

Omphalos's Journey: Chapter 50 Old Dragon King: Star God? Get out of my way!

Fu Li?

The one with broad knowledge?

Ash is no longer a newbie at Star Iron. After seeing those two pictures, he recognized the other party's identity immediately.

So, he was being glanced at by the Star God?

But the question is, why?

Did he do anything special just now?

And why are there two Star Gods, and they appear at the same time???

What is this for me? This is not Star Iron!

Ash was not aware of what was happening outside the world of Omphalos. He did not see that the Möbius strip that originally surrounded the world had been cut in half by the pouring golden light!

But that was the situation in the sky, Ash didn't know, he just felt that he really needed to grow a brain.

Then, all these scenes were instantly shattered by the power within the sun disk, and the last thing that appeared before him was that familiar figure—the old Dragon King!

The old Dragon King did not appear directly. Behind him appeared a pattern that was the same as the circular mark on the back of his hand, but it was much larger and more magnificent.

The scene did not last long, perhaps only a moment. When Ash came to his senses, the black tide that had originally surrounded him had all been destroyed.

And the force that repelled him also disappeared.

"Can the mark on my hand communicate with the old Dragon King's power?"

Ash looked up at the sun disk and thought with lingering fear.

If the sun disk had not suddenly exploded just now, he might have really been swallowed by the black tide. This thing is not an ordinary substance at all, and it is difficult to deal with it with ordinary methods.

But why did these things suddenly appear?

"The Knowledgeable Master, Fu Li... corresponds perfectly to wisdom and memory, the triple destiny..."

An idea came to Ash's mind, but before he could think about it, an anxious figure came from outside the temple.

"King Ash! The Black Tide, the Black Tide is attacking the Royal City!!!"

Black tide attack?

Ash frowned slightly and immediately went outside the temple. From afar, he saw a large amount of black matter outside the city rushing towards the city!

"Guards, all troops on alert!"

After giving the order, he flew up to the city wall on the quicksand and began to summon sand soldiers.

Although the reason is unknown, the most important thing at the moment is to stop the spread of the black tide. Once the black tide enters the city, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The black tide originated from all directions of the Shurima royal city, which greatly increased the strength of the defense. Fortunately, the power of this wave of black tide was far less than the one that just swallowed Ash, otherwise there would be no need to fight and the entire city could be moved away directly.

"King Ash, what happened?"

Xiadie came to the city wall and looked at the black tide spreading in the distance. A look of astonishment appeared on her face. "Why are there so many?"

"That's all. Xiadie, go notify Ultra and the others, and call the people in the city to take shelter. Tell them not to run around and not to panic." Ash said.

In this situation, running around would be very troublesome.

Because as far as he knew, creatures infected by the black tide would go crazy, and even the Golden People who were caught in it would be affected, let alone ordinary people.

"Then you better be careful."

Xiadie nodded and rushed to the city to summon the priests.

After a while, Julius and others also arrived. Ash asked them to lead a part of the garrison to guard the four directions of the city, and at the same time mobilized the sand soldiers to help resist.

With his increased power, Ash became more adept at creating sand soldiers, no longer limited to charging formations. He could also create giants, archers, and even cavalry. The key was to empower these soldiers with their inherent power. The more complex and powerful the sand soldiers, the more power they required.

At this moment, Ash mainly summoned shield soldiers and spearmen. Archers fought at a distance, but it took more energy for the archers to continuously shoot arrows, which was not conducive to sustained combat.

However, Shurima lacks archers, and it takes a lot of time to train them, so for now they can only rely on sand soldiers to fill this gap.

At this time, the spread of the black tide had already collided with the sand soldiers deployed in the front.

The monsters in the black tide rushed out in large numbers.

"What the hell are these things?"

I used to think they were star cores, but Ash realized these things didn't seem like Rift Creatures. It's possible that things influenced by star cores could take on other forms. And if the world is made of memory, then under the influence of star cores, something like 'illusions' would appear...data? Memory?

Ash looked at the black tides and inexplicably thought of some kind of data virus, because it was indeed very similar. He had seen it in some anime movies in his previous life. If the world is a memory, then it seems reasonable that the data is contaminated and causes a restart.

He waved his scepter, and golden light fell from the sky, hitting the inside of the black tide.

Part of the black matter was destroyed by the force, but more of it spread.

"In this world, the only way to repel the Black Tide is to destroy those monsters, but with this number..."

Looking at the scene that looked like zombies attacking the city, Ash couldn't help but frown. The defense formed by the sand soldiers was limited, and the black tide spread like an invisible stream. Because it was too corrosive, the guards would be in trouble if they came into contact too deeply. If it was on a small scale, it would be okay, but like what was happening now, under normal circumstances, the city would basically be doomed.

No wonder Omfalos became like this. Apart from the Titan’s madness, the black tide was the more direct reason.

Watching the black substance continuously penetrate the defensive wall formed by the sand soldiers, Ash flew down from the wall, drawing the power of the sun disc down upon himself. He had originally thought that this would protect him from the black tide, but when the power of the sun disc fell, the black tide quickly dispersed as if it had encountered its nemesis.

"what?"
