"Cerseis: Son of man, was such malice necessary?"
"Aglaia: @Saifier, you've been avoiding me because you're afraid I'll expose one or more lies you're hiding, right?"
"Saifei: ......"
"Bartleus: Wait, Sister Cypher, is that dark, blurry figure the savior?"
"Saifei: ?!"
"Fire-Stealing Walker: Give it...to...me...to...keep...it...existing..."
......
Saifeier was initially looking at Bartrus with some anxiety, but after hearing what Bartrus said, she decisively turned around to look.
Sure enough, we saw the black figure.
Although she already knew the true nature of the Fire Thief through the live stream, she obviously wouldn't feel the same way about the one in the video versus the one in front of her.
Reason told her that the other person would not hurt her unless absolutely necessary, but instinct made her stay far away from them.
"you......"
Just as Saifei was about to say something, she saw that the Fire Thief had already picked up the collapsed Bartrus.
"Eriol: What are you afraid of? Don't underestimate the power of the Star God!"
"Laigushi: Hmm? What do you mean? Could it be that Onpharos's underlying logic has been completely infiltrated by some being?"
"Laigushi: But...nothing unusual was found in the Iron Tomb..."
"I... seem to be really okay?"
At this moment, Bartrus, who was being dragged along by the Fire Thief, spoke hesitantly.
Seeing this, the Fire-Stealing Walker also tried to put Barthulus down.
As soon as he was freed, Bartlus immediately leaped away from the Fire Thief.
"Pfft...pfft...I was almost scared to death..."
"Saifei: Since Bartrus is alright, does that mean that even if my lie is exposed, it won't..."
"Lagushi: Please forgive me for reminding you, but the Star Gods do not act arbitrarily, and the underlying logic of Onpharos has not changed."
"Screw Gum: Speculation: He will only intervene to stabilize the unnecessary variables caused by the live broadcast."
Aglaia: So it was a lie after all...?
"Aglaia: What is it that makes you willing to stay away from me rather than..."
"Saifei: Stop guessing!"
Saifeier felt a pang of anxiety upon seeing Aglaia's words. She was genuinely afraid that Aglaia would expose her lies without even seeing her in person.
But just as Sai Fei'er was still on edge, she heard a series of hoarse voices coming from behind her.
"Spark..."
Saifeier: ? ! !
Bartlus: !!!
"W-what, you know about me...?"
Bartlus looked up abruptly, his eyes filled with shock, even his breathing faltered for a moment.
"My patience is almost exhausted, so I don't want to waste my breath."
[Karslana's tone turned colder.]
"Listen carefully, Thief Spirit: Hand over the fire, and we'll pretend we never fought. That way, you and this world can be saved."
"Heh heh heh, that sounds even better than a bard's song!"
Bartlus suddenly let out a strange laugh, his eyes full of mockery.
"What are you talking about, 'saving'..."
"If you ask me... you yourself are the greatest scourge of Onpharos!"
Chapter 186 Heroes of the Past 8
"Wan Di: How about we kill this surviving Titan first?"
Bai E: Actually, I'm fine.
"Wan Di: I don't think so."
"Xia Die: Calm down, Your Excellency Wan Di."
March 7th: What is this?! This is too much! I feel like punching it twice.
"Nguyen Mai: If analyzed from both sides' perspectives, neither side made any mistakes in their decisions."
"March 7th: That's why it's so hard to watch. I feel sorry for Bai E, and I kind of want to blame that thief."
"The Fire-Stealing Traveler: ......"
Tibo: Little White...
"Wan Di: @Aglaia, I suggest we go and kill it together?"
"Aglaia: If you could beat Xia Die in an arm wrestling match..."
"Xia Die: Your Excellency Wan Di, I am ready to accompany you at any time."
"Wan Di: ......"
"Fireworks: Hehe, is that fire-stealing wanderer doing something to that thieving spirit?"
"The Fire-Stealing Traveler: ......"
【“…”】
[Kauslana fell silent, the air around him seemingly frozen in the stillness, only deep within his eyes churning with intense emotions unseen by anyone else.]
Seeing that he remained silent, Bartlus became even more emboldened, his tone full of mockery:
"No matter how powerful you are, you're still just a mortal! Bearing twelve flames? Don't be ridiculous. You'll only be devoured by the divine fire, dragging this world down with you..."
"...one hundred and thirty-four."
[Kauslana, who had been silent, suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp as a knife, and clearly uttered a number.]
【"What......"】
Xia, standing to the side, felt a jolt in her heart, instantly realizing the weight of his words.
Bartlus stood there, completely bewildered by the meaning of the number.
"This is my 134th reincarnation. The number of sparks I have carried is..."
"That summer: 1,596."
Silver Wolf: The stats have stacked up.
"Bartlus: If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that such a monster existed in this world."
"Saifei: Um...why don't you go find Aglaia?"
"The Fire-Stealing Traveler: ......"
"Aglaia: Hmm, Caislana, come find me in the Holy City. Don't make things difficult for Sefaria."
"...1,596."
Xia then took over the conversation, her voice carrying a barely perceptible heaviness.
【"......Um."】
[Karslana nodded slightly, his tone as calm as if he were stating something utterly ordinary.]
"Over a thousand sparks, and just one Golden Descendant... How is that possible?!"
Bartlus's pupils contracted sharply, his face filled with disbelief, and his voice trembled.
"My ability to get this far is proof enough."
Caislana's gaze fell upon him, offering no further explanation, yet carrying an undeniable authority.
"But one day... you will be burned to ashes."
At that moment, Xia turned to look at him, her tone complex, a mixture of a reminder and a sigh.
"Of course, the divine fire will one day burn my eyes and blind me..."
[Kauslana spoke slowly, his tone almost cold and indifferent, but then his words abruptly changed.]
"But before that, they can temper 'Dawn'. That way, you won't feel pain when I cut open your stomach."
His expression was completely expressionless, yet his voice was as cold as ice, sending chills down the spine.
"Bai E: ......"
Tibo: Little White... isn't such a cruel person.
"Aglaia: The spark, time... has it already begun to erode his humanity...?"
"Feng Jin: Lord Bai E's... voice was now only cold..."
"Xia Die: A cold indifference that disregards everything, including death, all for... obtaining the spark..."
"The Fire-Stealing Traveler: ......"
"Gui Naifen: This cold and rational approach, though cruel, is..."
"Gold alluvial: But it is indeed highly efficient, isn't it?"
"Jade: But in this cycle, it's the only way he can keep going."
"That moment Xia: The fact that he was able to obtain the Titan's spark so easily shows that the Titans weren't as divine as they seem; they were just powerful special beings."
"Cerseis: Well then, son of man, think what you want to think. We won't argue with you anyway."
"That summer: Then why did you jump out?! @FireStealer, come here, I'll help you take down this Titan who's messing around with other people's brains."
