Star Iron, conquer the world from Omphalos

"I feel the golden thread of fate. From the future it weaves, I know you will come here again." Aglaya stood up. Her face was pale and she looked like she was seriously injured.

"King Ash, your eyes tell me that you have many doubts in your heart."

Ash said calmly, "That's not important."

There are many questions, but these Ashes will explore and get the answers on their own.

After all, what others tell you may not be the truth.

"Yes, that's not important. What's important is what you want to do at this moment... I'm so envious of you. You can do whatever you want without considering the gains and losses or plotting anything. You can get what you want with the purest ideals. What's even more enviable is that you have power equal to it." Aglaya said calmly.

"Everyone has their own destiny. If you envy me, others will envy you too," Ash said calmly. "Aglaia, the Shuriman army is at the gates of the city. No matter what oracle you believe in, it has nothing to do with you anymore."

"I'm here only to take your life."

Aglaya was silent for a moment.

"I really don't like people like you. You try to seize results from an unknown fate. If your abilities are unable to cope with the disaster you cause, it won't just be you who will be hurt, but also everything connected to you. But you possess an extremely high destiny weight, easily influencing everyone and forcibly tying our fate to yours."

"I always wonder what would have happened if you hadn't appeared? But that's meaningless. The oracle points to an unknown fate. We try our best but cannot uncover the truth beneath the eternal night. Yet, even so, it remains our only choice... King Ash, do you know how heavy it is to stumble for a thousand years?"

With strands of golden threads wrapped around her fingertips, Aglaia walked towards Ash. The golden threads seemed to dance in the air, weaving colors that alternated between fantasy and reality.

At this moment, Ohema's fate didn't seem to matter.

The golden thread stabbed towards Ash, but at this time Aglaia could no longer pose any threat to Ash.

Chi Chi!

The power of the sun burns the golden thread.

"I don't know, and I don't need to know. You know me very well, don't you? Just like I know you. It's normal that you don't like me, but I also don't need to understand the fate you are talking about." Ash raised his scepter, and the golden sand spear condensed in the air.

"I will use my own methods to change everything."

Aglaya suddenly laughed.

"Yes, this is the biggest difference between you and the Golden Race like us. We are walking on a predetermined destiny, while you are carving out your own. Perhaps, you can really do it, if that's the case..."

Swish!

The golden sand spear instantly pierced through Aglaya's body, interrupting the last words she wanted to say.

The expression on Aglaya's face froze, and his empty eyes were fixed at this moment.

She raised her hand toward the constellation totem.

Followed by.

The body disintegrated bit by bit, turning into golden lines and floating towards the boundless stars.

Omphalos's Journey: The End of the Book: Malice from the World, the Broken Möbius Strip

"Ash, your fate is heavier than you can imagine."

Aglaya's voice floated in the air along with the golden thread.

Ash watched all this quietly without saying a word.

To him, the truth is unimportant.

What matters is how to break the deadlock.

The Golden Race's journey to chase fire has lasted from the Golden War to now without seeing any hope, which means that even they themselves may not know the essence of what will lead to the destruction of the world.

Perhaps Aglaia saw something in Omphalos's entangled fate, but it couldn't be much. And it didn't matter anymore, because Ash didn't believe Aglaia's words. Mixing half-understood information with misguided guidance would only trap him in a vicious circle of thinking, preventing him from seeing the true nature of the matter.

As for the situation of Omphalos, Ash felt that it would be difficult for people in this world to break through, and only people standing outside the world could see clearly what was happening.

And he is outside the world. If he had cooperated with Ohma from the beginning, perhaps he could have solved the mystery faster... Not necessarily, who knows, no one can assert something that has not happened, not to mention that he is now suspicious of the Dawn Machine, the big thing that Kefal is carrying. Did the latter really carry it to bring light to Ohma?

Why wasn't it carried because he couldn't let it harm Ohma?

The people of Ompharos don't think like Ash, because in the eternal night, the everlasting light is too precious, and they prefer to believe that it is a gift from God.

So, there's a fundamental difference in philosophy, and it's impossible to reason with them. If someone believes in God and actually receives God's protection, and you tell them, "Hey, brother, this is fake," what will happen?

It's not that Ash hasn't tried, but as the leader of the Golden Race, Aglaia is destined to be unshakable. But it doesn't matter. Just as Aglaia said she didn't like people like him, Ash wouldn't like people like Aglaia either.

If it's in a game, XP and card draws are all fine and dandy. Some people even enjoy being stepped on by high heels and looked at like bugs... well, in a game. As for real life, the same thing applies: isn't the reason I have power so I can do what I want?

just.

Just die like that?

Ash looked at the golden threads floating in the air.

Frown slightly.

He was a little concerned about where Aglaya's previous injuries came from.

Logically speaking, in the battle at the center of the Creation Vortex, the final blow did not hit Aglaya directly due to Tibao's interference. Even if she was affected, it would not be so serious.

In addition, the situation in Ohma was so bad, but Aglaya still stayed in the heart of the Creation Vortex.

What did she do before?

Ash looked around at this peaceful space. There was no special change because of Aglaya's death. If he had to say... the spark of romance was floating in the air.

This is what was left after Aglaya's death.

When a Titan dies, he leaves behind a spark of fire, and the same should be true for the Golden Descendants.

Ash tried to take the fire into his body, but found that the power was resisting him.

"Can a Goldenborn only bear one kind of fire?"

Xiadie once said that every Golden Descendant has his or her own mission, to inherit power as a 'container' of fire and become the pillar that supports the world.

Just in case, let Xiadie try it later. Even if it doesn't need to be absorbed, it can be used as a carrier temporarily.

He collected the fire with sand and looked at the vortex of creation again. The secrets here could only be checked after the battle was over.

tick~

The sound of dripping water suddenly rang out.

The container in the center of the Creation Nest was filled with water, and the sound of the tide could be heard from inside.

"...world...destruction..."

The azure water began to turn dark.

Ash frowned slightly and walked over to take a look. He probed his power into the tide, but received no response.

After the color of the water changed, there was nothing else special about it.

But this is the vortex of creation, the source of all Omphalos's power. Although Ash is not quite clear about the hidden secret, the changes here mean that there must be something abnormal in the whole world.

The power of time re-emerged, Ash adjusted time, and everything around him began to change.

Normally, this change should be caused by space. But in Omphalos, time seemed to be an extremely special existence. He even felt that the time in this world was disordered. This feeling was particularly obvious after approaching Ohma.

And when Ash came out of the vortex of creation again, what came into his sight was an endless black tide!

Inside and outside the city, the spreading black tide devoured the soldiers of the Sand and Shurima, as well as the people of Ohma. Screams echoed throughout the city-state, and the already chaotic Ohma was further devastated by this scene.

"what's the situation?"

Ash looked into the distance, his attention drawn by the roar of an explosion—Wandi was still fighting Nicardoli.

But at this moment, Nicardoli didn't seem to care about the challenger Wan Di, but turned his attention to the black tide. He raised his spear, and his power turned into a light arrow that fell from the sky and bombarded the black tide. In an instant, a large amount of black matter was destroyed by him.

But the area covered by the Kuroshio Current is too large!

This time, the wave was even greater than the one Ash had caused before. It spread like a tide, unstoppable.

Roar! ! !

Nicardoli let out a terrifying roar, and he spit out light, breaking the fog that filled the black tide. The next second, a large army of condemned people appeared from the outskirts of Ohma.

[Destroy...Kephele...]

After these Scourge Legions appeared, they immediately joined the battle against the Black Tide.

"King Ash!"

Wan Die shouted in his direction.

Ash controlled the quicksand to fall.

"what happened?"

"I don't know. Just now, the Black Tide suddenly appeared, boundless and endless." Wan Di frowned. "Gnaeus once told me that Nicardoli has been fighting the Black Tide. It is the Black Tide that has affected the Titans. They appeared from the edge of the world and continue to erode Omphalos."

Gnaeus did not say much to Wan Di, but he did answer the latter's question - why the conflict was becoming more and more crazy.

These black currents are the culprit.

Nicardori has been fighting against the Black Tide for a long time. Unfortunately, even the Titans at the peak of Omphalos' power are unable to destroy it. Instead, they are gradually eroded by the long struggle. To avoid complete corruption, Nicardori has shed his "rational" side, planting the seeds of future possibilities.

"King Ash, this is not a solution. The black tide is still spreading. Not only the people of Ohma, but also ours will be swallowed by the black tide."

"I know...Wandi, let's retreat first."

At this point in the war, it is no longer a question of whether to capture Ohma or not. The Black Tide is too strange. If it continues, thousands of Shurima soldiers will die here.

"Soldiers, evacuate Ohema!"

Ash shouted loudly.

Upon hearing the order, the Shuriman soldiers began to evacuate.

The Holy City Guards no longer cared to engage them. The Black Tide entering the city posed too great a threat. After all, Ohma had existed for a long time, and its accumulated population far outnumbered Shurima. However, they only had a few men to resist the Black Tide, and most could only rely on their own abilities to escape.

There was nothing Ash could do about it. If he conquered Ohma, he would purge those who rebelled against him, and the remaining people would have a chance to survive. But the Black Tide would not do that. It would only kill all living things.

Swish!

The power of the sun formed a wall of quicksand to protect the retreating soldiers. At the same time, the Sand Soldier Corps opened up paths on both sides to confront the black tide.

However, there were too many black tides, and Ash found that these things seemed to be following him. No matter where he was, he could feel that the black tide was clearly converging towards him.

This immediately reminded him of the situation when he was surrounded by the black tide before. These things had a clear resistance to him.

"Wandi, take your men and retreat first."

Hearing Ash's words, Wan Di frowned slightly: "King Ash, even if I have to take the last place, I will do it. I have immortality, but you don't."

"Are you sure you won't die if you're eaten by those things?" Ash asked, pointing at the wriggling black tide in the distance.

Wan Di: "..."

Indeed, immortality is not invincibility. He had fought countless enemies for a long time and was already mentally exhausted. If he were really dragged into the black tide, there was a high probability that he would not be able to get out and would be corroded into a mad monster.

"Then you better be careful!" Wan Di was not a person who liked to hesitate. He and the First Imperial Guard Company guarded the periphery of the army, protecting others as they evacuated towards Shurima.

Ash flew in the opposite direction.

Sure enough, the black tide followed him.

Ash did not try to attack. There were too many of these things and he could not clean them all up for the time being unless he summoned the Sun Disc. But Shurima also needed to be protected.

He just looked through the sun disc and saw that the Shurima Royal City was also under attack, but the number of black tides was small, and with the Xia Butterflies guarding it, it wouldn't be a big problem.

"What on earth does this guy want to do?"

While Ash was resisting the black tide, he looked towards Nicardoli's position.

The Scourge Legion was still showing its might. Nikadori was indeed powerful, and the power of strife bathed him. As his spear swung out, the golden flames could instantly destroy a large area of black matter.

If it weren't for Him, Ohma would have been filled with black tides long ago.

This extremely ironic scene really happened before our eyes. I wonder how the people of Ohma would feel when they knew that Nicardoli was guarding the city gate outside.

And Nicardoli was naturally not trying to protect Ohma. As for what he was thinking, no one knew. At least Ash didn't think that this crazy Titan would tell him.

At this moment, Nicardoli suddenly leaped across the endless black tide and rushed onto Kephale who was carrying the Dawn Machine.

Roar! !

Angry roars spread outward with the power of discord. In mid-air, Nicardoli raised his spear and hurled it fiercely at the Dawn Machine—boom! The flaming spear streaked across the sky like a meteor.
