Star Iron, conquer the world from Omphalos

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!!!"

An eager mood spread across the battlefield, and everyone, including the lone soldier, had an excited look on his face.

Death on the battlefield is certainly sad, but the shame and powerlessness of defeat are even more despairing. At least this time, they proved their strength to everyone.

"Then what's next."

Ash changed the subject.

Everyone stood quietly, listening to his next instructions. Whether it was to chase or do something else, they would execute it without hesitation.

Ash waved his hand and said, "Warriors, strip these Ohma people of everything!"

The soldiers were stunned, then burst into laughter.

"Strip naked!"

"I want the best armor!"

"I also want!"

The next second, the brave soldiers turned into battlefield scavengers.

"Julius," Ash said to the burly man beside him, "After all the equipment is taken off, have someone pile up the bodies of these Ohma people in a pit and burn them. Don't let any plague spread."

"As for our people... they are heroes who died in battle. Take them back and let the tribe send them off for the final time."

The medical conditions in Tilkas are too poor, and the plague must not be allowed to occur, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

After giving the instructions, Ash immediately went to the Gioria ruins to check the situation there.

Although the falling sun disk wasn't a big deal, it was like the sky falling for the people of Tilkas. Even before Ash even approached the ruins, he heard people praying and crying inside.

"O noble Gioria, backbone of the earth, please let glory descend upon Tilcath once again."

Deep in the palace, a huge pit appeared in the center. It was caused by the sun disk falling from above. At this time, the Tilkas people gathered around the huge pit, and most of them knelt on the ground to pray.

Old Otto and the elders of the tribe gathered together to discuss something.

"Master Ash is here!"

someone shouted.

"Master Ash!"

"Master Ash!"

Everyone gathered around him.

"Master Ash." Old Ultra came over and asked expectantly, "How's the war going?"

Ash chuckled, "Don't worry, we won. It was a big win."

wow~

"Great, great!"

"Woohoo~ We won, Tilkas was saved."

"Those despicable Ohma people, they actually attacked the ruins!"

"Master Ash, the... holy object fell down. What should we do now?"

Someone asked worriedly.

They revere the Sun Disc as a sacred object that brings light, a blessing bestowed by Gioria. If this sacred object is destroyed, God will surely bring down punishment.

Among these people, only Old Ultra was relatively calm, because he had witnessed the rising of the sun disc with his own eyes. That should be the power of Ash, not directly from Gioria.

But Old Ultra didn't intend to tell anyone about this. He told the villagers that this was a sacred object, and Ash was the embodiment of God's will.

In Omphalos, shrouded in eternal night, everyone is surrounded by despair. Only faith can break the darkness and bring new life to everyone.

Ash didn't say anything and didn't explain anything. He walked to the big pit and stretched out his hand to release the power.

The falling disc turned into yellow sand and dissipated, but soon, in front of everyone's witness, the new sun slowly rose into the sky and once again stopped above the ruins, emitting a gentle light.

"Gioria will not abandon His loyal believers. Even if His power has been stolen by thieves, my people, hope still exists. As long as we set foot on this land, miracles will happen again." Ash said loudly.

"Praise Gioria, praise the golden sun!"

Old Ott knelt and shouted.

"Praise Gioria, praise the golden sun!"

The villagers shouted.

Golden Sun, Ash.

This is the new respectful name given to him by the Tilkas tribe.

Although Ash really wanted to say that you could just call me emperor, it didn't seem like there was much point in being the emperor of a small village with only a few hundred people, and the sun sounded good too.

After a while, Ash asked Old Ultra to take the people back to the village.

He stood outside the big hole that was smashed and looked inside.

"Otto, what's down there?"

Old Otto said, "That was the place where Gioria was worshipped in the past, but it was sealed off many years ago due to the impact of the Golden War. Until now, no one has ever set foot there."

"Oh?"

Ash pondered for a moment.

He felt that there seemed to be some kind of power inside, which seemed to be faintly echoing with the carrying staff in his hand.

"I'll go down and take a look."

The Staff of Carrying is the power of Gioria, so naturally, there should be something similar hidden underneath.

After instructing Old Ultra, Ash jumped directly from above, using the surge of quicksand to cushion his landing.

Directly below was an open area, somewhat similar to the upper level, but not as high, and without the platform in the middle to store the staff of bearing.

Ash looked around, and with the faint light released by his power, he could clearly see many murals painted on the surrounding walls.

Most of the murals in the ruins of the gods looked the same. He lost interest after taking a few glances and then turned his gaze to the statue at the end directly in front of him.

It was called a statue, but it was actually carved into the wall. It resembled a winding... dragon? It was a strange shape, not flying in the sky but blending into the earth. Ash saw words carved next to the statue, but he couldn't understand any of them.

"Didn't they say that time travelers bring their own translators?"

Ash stared at the words for a long time, but he really couldn't understand them, so he had to give up and ask Old Ultra to come down and translate them later.

"Ok?"

There is a gap below the dragon statue.

Ash tried to put the Staff of Carrying in, and it actually went in smoothly.

Click~

There was a crisp sound.

A faint light emanated from the staff of bearing, and power flowed from the staff into the ground, crawling along the grooves towards the statue on the wall.

Buzz!

A dazzling light emanated from the statue, illuminating everything around it. Ash narrowed his eyes slightly, and in a trance, the statue seemed to come alive. In the soft glow of golden light, a certain will quietly descended.

rustle~

An indescribable existence.

rustle~

The sound seemed to echo in Ash's ears.

"Is that you, Gioria?"

Shashasha~~

The ethereal voice seemed to be telling something.

But I don’t understand and don’t quite understand.

Ash frowned slightly. He could clearly feel that the manifestation of that will was right in front of him.

"Gioria, if it's really you..." After a moment of contemplation, he raised his head and said calmly, "Then let me ask you, what is the 'oracle'?"

...

The third update, 3k, a new week to rush to the leaderboard, brothers please!!!

Omphalos's Journey: Chapter 20: The Seed of Zagreus

Tilkas territory.

When the enemies returned here, the battle had already ended for a day... or perhaps a day. The Tilkas people had lost the concept of day and night, but they would always remember the miserable scene when the Ohma people were beaten back.

And the equipment stripped from them, after putting it on, is even warmer than the glory of Gioria... Oh no, that's not allowed to say.

"Thanks to Master Ash, his power can make the sun rise, it's incredible!"

"Master Ash must be the embodiment of Gioria's will. He should be the golden descendant who saves the world!"

"Master Ash is the sun!"

As Wan Di walked along, the most common words he heard were praises. It was so annoying. Apart from this, who could talk to him about something serious?

Even the lone warriors of Xuanfeng began to praise Ash. Looking at those grinning guys, he really wanted to punch them.

Fortunately, Old Otto and Julius came in time to explain everything to him, about the attack of the Ohma people and the conspiracy of the Golden People.

"Looks like I missed a good show," Wan Di said with disdain. "Those Goldenborn in Ohma want to destroy the light of Tilkas, proving to everyone in Omphalos that Ohma is the only holy city. Such despicable behavior doesn't make them worthy of being called warriors. Now it seems that the oracle of salvation may not even be true."

Kephale is Nicardoli's lifelong enemy. To some extent, Xuanfeng City and Ohma are destined to fight to the end.

Although Wan Di, as a Xuanfeng, didn't have any prejudice against Ohma because of this belief, he did have some thoughts after this experience. He didn't understand Aglaya or the Golden People, so he judged his actions by their actions, not his heart, and everyone else saw what he did.

"Otto Priest, I brought the medicine back. Please have someone distribute it."

Wan Di said.

He just came back from Xuanfeng City.

"That's great." Otto said excitedly, "With the medicine, they can be saved."

"Don't be too happy. These are just some basic medicines. The situation in Xuanfeng City isn't optimistic either. Those guys are so crazy they don't care about anything... Where's Ash? Where is he?"

Wan Di has something important to discuss with Ash.

"Master Ash is in the ruins, but his situation seems a little special."

"Oh? What happened again?"

"That must be Gioria's will."

Although Old Ultra did not go down to the ruins, he still felt the mysterious power from below. He now completely believes that Ash is the messenger of God... No, he is the incarnation of God, maybe even the reincarnation of Gioria!

However, Ash hasn't come up since he went down, and the Tilkas people don't dare to disturb him for fear of disturbing the god.

Wan Di couldn't understand Old Ultra's mood. Ash had been acting mysterious for a long time. Since he didn't come out of the ruins, something must have happened. Thinking of this, he didn't bother him and went to Xuan Feng's lone army instead.

This time when he returned to Xuanfeng City, he discovered an important thing, which might be an opportunity to completely overthrow the rule of King Xuanfeng. However, if it is not handled well, it might also be the beginning of subverting the world.

"Nicardo...are you completely hopeless and crazy?"

Muttering softly.

Wan Di turned and walked towards the Xuan Feng Army’s base.

He needed to discuss what to do next with Priest Gaius.

...

the other side.

When Bai'e and Xiadie led the remaining troops into the city, people on the road immediately stopped to look and talked.

"What happened? Why did the guards lose? Weren't they going to clean up those evil people in Tilkas?"

"The Tilkas seem to be just a small tribe. The Senate said they killed Marcus."

"Tilkas... I know them. They were once believers in Gioria, but the black tide devoured their humanity, and they became as mad as the minions of Nicardori."
