"I never expected someone would lend a helping hand."
In a sense, this "protégé" before him had indeed rewritten his predetermined destiny.
【...】
The two finally arrived at the location of the Throne of Enlightenment. Just as they were about to step forward, Xia suddenly stopped and turned to ask:
"You've been to the Throne of Enlightenment, haven't you?"
"Hmm? If you're talking about past reincarnations..."
[Before Kauslan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Nashia.]
"Ha, you're already so much luckier than other students."
"Wait a minute."
The moment she finished speaking, Xia abruptly stopped in her tracks, her eyes instantly sharpening.
"Watch your eyes... someone is watching us."
Behind them, a light and agile figure stood quietly.
Hearing Naksha's words, the man didn't flinch, but swaggered over, meeting the gazes of Kauslana and Naksha.
"You little rascal, your eyesight is much better than I thought..."
She first glanced at Naksha, her tone slightly amusement, then turned to look at Caislana.
"As for that false god who turned the world upside down... it was you, wasn't it, you white-haired brat?"
"Hey...you really love showing off."
At that moment, Xia glanced helplessly at Caislan, her tone carrying a hint of sarcasm.
The next second, his expression hardened, and he looked at the newcomer with a serious expression, his tone carrying an undeniable warning:
"In the name of the Seven Sages, I demand that you immediately depart from the Throne of Enlightenment; this place is the supreme sanctuary of 'reason,' and no one may desecrate it—"
"—Go and deliver my exact words to Aglaia. I won't repeat myself, Catwoman."
He frowned and emphasized his tone.
"Cerseis: It's rare to see you show such respect for the Throne of Enlightenment."
"That summer: I don't believe you can't see my purpose. I don't have time to play house with you, you unreliable Titan."
"Nakexia: No matter what I do, it's none of your business. Hmph, you're far inferior to the Earth Beast."
"That summer: And you, Aglaia, is this how you raise a cat?"
"Aglaia: Compared to a certain earth beast in gorgeous clothes, I don't think I'm at fault at all."
Saifeier: Sigh, why did I go in like that? I was too reckless. Next time I see him, I should just run away.
"The Fire-Stealing Traveler: ......"
"Saifei: Oh, I forgot, aren't we allies now?"
"My God, you won't even call me a demigod of 'trickery'! It's so heartbreaking."
Faced with Xia's deliberate attempt to drive her away, Sai Fei'er swayed, clearly not intending to leave obediently.
"I'll return the same words to you: First, as one of the most blasphemous heretics in the world, you have no right to preach to me; second..."
She paused, a glint of cunning flashing in her eyes.
"This has nothing to do with you, Tree Garden boy. Get out of here, I don't want anyone to get hurt."
Compared to Xia's confrontational attitude, she was quite "honest," laying her thoughts bare.
[Kauslana watched all this silently, his face expressionless—he had seen this same scene 133 times already.]
He already understood Teacher Xia's persistence and Sai Feier's calculations at that moment.
"It's... another story that feels familiar."
"Thieves who steal fire... do you really think you can intimidate the wise men of the Tree Court with mere bluster?"
"Hehehe... You gloomy little brat, you're really sharp-tongued and cunning!"
A cunning yet grating voice suddenly came from ahead. Caislana and Naksha simultaneously turned to look at the throne—the figure of "Thief Spirit" Bartrus was leaning against the edge of the throne, a mocking expression on his face.
"Not bad, not bad, I admire you. In return, I'll feast on this Sersis's fire right here and now—"
As he spoke, he suddenly leaned forward and grabbed the spark of reason from the throne.
"Don't cry! Hehehehehehe—"
Before he could finish speaking, Bartrus swallowed the fire in one gulp, then turned and sprinted towards the back of the throne, clearly intending to flee immediately.
Seeing this, Sai Fei'er smiled smugly and took the opportunity to retreat lightly.
"Heh, no big deal... Time to get out of here!"
Xing: She's actually a pretty nice person.
"Saifei: Grey, you don't doubt my character just because I'm a demigod of trickery, do you?"
"Star: Then don't call me Grey anymore, call me Galaxy Super Invincible Baseball Man."
Saifeier: Haha, I'll definitely do it next time.
"Feng Jin: Although I trust Lord Bai'er, I'm still worried that Ms. Sai Fei'er might be in trouble."
"Star: It's wrapped."
"Silver Wolf: Judging from the panel data, the bag will kill the cat."
"Saifei: ......"
"Bartleus: Boss, we can't really be..."
Xing: It's okay, just be more careful in your next life.
"Gold Sand: At that moment, Mr. Xia was clearly trying to persuade Miss Saifei to leave, it's just that his method was a bit unusual."
"Gold Sand: Sigh, no wonder all your friends speak in such similar ways, Professor!"
Ladio: Hmph, what a boring topic.
Naksha: Call me Anaxagoras.
"Gold Sand: Oh, sorry, Mr. Anaxagoras."
"That Summer: Isn't there a name change function here?"
"Eriol: Cannot be modified independently."
Na Ke Xia: Then you help me revise it?
Eriol: I refuse.
"Silver Wolf: 666"
"Silver Wolf: How about I change my name to Great Love Wolf Lord? Next time Kafka takes you to get neutered, I'll stop her for you."
"Kafka: ?"
Eriol: ?
[Kauslana showed no surprise whatsoever, as if he had foreseen all of this.]
"They're exactly the same, just like many of the people I've known in the past..."
"Both cunning and naive."
"You sound very confident?"
At that moment, Xia turned to the side, her gaze falling on him with a hint of inquiry.
"Of course. When I first embarked on my journey to the fire, Teacher Tibo just couldn't teach me the Miracles of Oronis..."
Tibo: Hmm, Xiaobai isn't very good at it yet.
"Bai'er: Teacher Tibao..."
Saifeier: Don't be shy, anyway, the other you has already said it without any hesitation.
[Kauslana lowered his eyes, a faint glimmer of light emanating from his fingertips.]
"...Having come this far, I've finally come to know a thing or two."
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and began to silently perform the Eulonis miracle.
As the power of time flowed through the air, Bartrus, who had been fleeing wildly in the distance, was forced to retreat along the very path he had taken to escape.
"Where are you going?"
[Sai Fei'er watched as Bartrus retreated, and subconsciously took two steps after him, her tone full of astonishment.]
"I...I don't know...?"
[Bartluth struggled desperately, twisting his body, but he could not break free from the shackles of the power of time and was forcibly dragged back to the starting point.]
"Hmph, at least the cult's foolish inventions have come in handy."
At that moment, Xia looked at Bartrus, who had been pulled back, and snorted coldly.
"Huff...huff...how could this happen..."
Bartluth collapsed to the ground, his chest heaving, panting heavily.
[Kauslana stepped forward, her gaze falling on him, her voice calm yet carrying an undeniable power:]
"You've arrived, Zagres, the Titan of Deception... as punctual as ever."
"Aglaia: Zagres? @Saifeier, aren't you going to explain this?"
"Saifei: ......"
Bartluth: Oh no, this is too sudden! What if the lie is exposed...?
"Bartleus: Waaaaah, Sister Cypher, I have to say goodbye to you forever..."
"Aglaia: A lie?"
"That Summer: Heh, to survive like this, Titans really don't deserve respect. @Cersis"
