Star Iron, conquer the world from Omphalos

Aglaya said in a calm tone.

"Still not as fast as you. You've been planning this since you started planning the Shurima attack."

【...οζθψζ...】

Oronis spoke.

Because Xiadie was not there, Ash could not understand what He said, but he could roughly feel the other party's emotions.

Oronis was expressing a sense of joy and trust.

Aglaia turned her head. "He seems to believe in you... Can you tell me how you did it? Oronis, the Titan of Time, is mysterious and unpredictable, and his temper is even more difficult to guess. Ash, why does He believe in you?"

Ash said calmly, "It's simple, because I never believed that killing them would save the world. I was kind to them, and they responded with kindness, that's all."

"Be kind to each other, be honest with each other..." Aglaya said noncommittally. "Indeed, just as the prophecy glimpsed through the portal of destiny suggests, Ash, you have never been striving for salvation. You are different from us."

"You once said that salvation was possible without the oracle. Countless people have attempted this idea before, but from the time the oracle arrived until now, time has proven everything. Efforts without guidance, when countless selfish desires collide, will ultimately lead to greater destruction. This is the nature of Shurima. You, like Xuanfeng, desire to gain more through conquest and plunder, completely forgetting that you too live on this land."

"When destruction arrives, the dark calamity will spread to every corner. Then, both you and I will sleep forever under the apocalypse."

The Saint of Janusapolis made a prophecy to Ash using a sacrificial ritual. In fact, the light of the oracle never shone on the latter, and the latter would never even want to save the world.

The result of the prophecy told her that Ash didn't care about Omphalos at all.

This is terrible information.

If Ash wants to save the world, he doesn't have to stand on Ohma's side.

Aglaya could not accept such a result.

Ash raised his eyebrows: "So, you were waiting for me here on purpose?"

"This is the outcome I anticipated," Aglaia said calmly. "If you hadn't come, Oronis's fire would have been taken away. But you came, abandoning your subjects and choosing Oronis's power... And this is what I wanted to see, King Ashu. I will stay here and keep you."

"Two choices..." Ash laughed. "The Holy City Guards of Ohma, those people led by Bai'er, do you think they can really take over Shurima?"

"..."

Looking at the smile on Ash's face, Aglaya frowned slightly and suddenly had a bad feeling.

As she knew, King Ash was a man without the idea of saving the world, but he had never abandoned his subjects. From Tilkas to Shurima, Ash had always protected those who followed him.

So, what now?

Is it because you believe that those who remain in Shurima have the power to deal with danger independently?

Aglaia didn't know where Ash got his confidence from, but it did make her a little worried... Forget it, let's complete the planned tasks first.

She raised her sword, and the golden thread wrapped around her left hand flowed with a 'romantic' divinity.

Swish swish!

Before she could make a move, the power secretly placed by Ash around her turned into countless sand guns and shot towards her.

Aglaia dodged, using the golden 'net' to gain momentum, and jumped out of the range of the sand spears. However, the sand spears landed just in time to cut the golden threads that trapped Oronis, allowing him to break free from the cage.

【...λμχξ...】

Titan thanked Ash for his help.

Ash walked on the quicksand, chasing in the direction of Aglaia. The power of the sun was running wildly in his body, and yellow sand gushed out, spreading out behind him like a huge wing, and finally turned into big fists and hit Aglaia hard!

These big fists were as flexible as his arms, throwing out dozens or hundreds of punches in an instant - boom boom boom boom!

The attack of the sand fist made Aglaya lose the initiative to attack. She flicked her fingers and a net woven with golden threads appeared in front of her to block the attack of the sand fist.

boom!

The sand fist suddenly exploded from it, and the carrying stick stabbed out a sharp blow in a flash.

Ding!

Crisp sound.

Aglaia raised her sword to block the attack, and then the golden thread around her became as flexible as quicksand and wrapped around Ash.

Ash stepped back to create distance, using the yellow sand to tangle with the golden thread.

trouble.

Then there was something inconsistent.

Aglaya was very powerful, which he had already anticipated. In a sense, the demigod who obtained the Titan fire might only need an opportunity to transform into a new generation of Titan.

Their strength is unquestionable. Some of the already powerful Goldens may become even stronger than those weak Titans after obtaining the fire.

The golden thread woven by Aglaia caused Ash a lot of trouble, but that seemed to be all. She did not show much of the demeanor that a powerful demigod should have.

Are you testing?

As soon as Ash thought about it, his figure suddenly turned into sand, and when he reappeared, he was already behind Aglaya.

Quicksand Shift, using power to swap Ash's position with any nearby sand soldier.

After his sandy figure melted away, it immediately gathered into sand soldiers and appeared again, while he himself appeared at the position of the sand soldiers he had just summoned, and suddenly a large number of sand fist attacks were launched at the same time!

Boom boom boom!

The gold threads were unable to return to defense in time, and the defense woven with only a few gold threads was unable to withstand this wave of attack. When the gold threads shattered, Aglaya was directly exposed to the attack range of the sand fist.

boom! ——

The blast of air exploded in the air, and Aglaya's figure shot out like a cannonball and crashed into a mountain.

Ash pursued the victory, and the high-raised scepter released a dazzling golden light, which turned into a huge sand spear in the air and shot out!

laugh! ~

The Sand Spear broke through all obstacles, leaving a long trail in the air with its golden burning power.

Just as it was about to collide with the mountain, countless golden threads shot out, disintegrating the Sand Spear, and the power contained within it instantly erupted. Aglaya's figure burst forth from the dust and mist. No, there was another figure besides her: the Golden Clothier. The two men maintained nearly identical movements, their blades intertwining to form a pair of scissors as they attacked Ash.

"Judge."

A soft humming sound.

The sharp edge of the blade cut through the shield of yellow sand and collided with the carrying staff. A strong sense of oppression came towards him. At this moment, the strength displayed by Aglaya was far beyond the scope of ordinary golden people!

boom! ! !

The force of the continuous collision did not last long. The force was compressed and then released. The recoil force made Ash fly backwards. Then the tough golden thread in mid-air flew over and wrapped around his body in circles.

"King Ash, this is your final judgment."

In the distance, Aglaya and the tailor walked side by side, looking at Ash with indifferent eyes... Her eyes had no focus and no color, just like her heart was calm.

She saw this battle as a trial, a right granted to her by the oracle as an executor.

"In the cage woven by fate, everything about you has been predetermined... King Ash, sleep in the eternal night." With his toes tapping on the golden thread, Aglaya's figure rushed out again, followed closely by the clothier, who was like Aglaya's shadow helping the latter fight.

tumultuous!

The golden flames that suddenly ignited burned the golden thread.

"Judgement? You are worthy!"

Ash's eyes burned with flames like the sun, and the mark on the back of his hand emitted a bright light. At the same time, the sun disk far away in Shurima burst out with a dazzling golden light!

His spiritual power sank into the sun disk and merged with it. At this moment, the sun's light was with him!

Fierce~~

Golden flames burned out from Ash's body. He waved his scepter, and the golden thread shattered instantly. Endless yellow sand surged out and instantly swallowed Aglaya and the clothier.

boom!

Aglaya shattered the yellow sand and looked at the scepter that was so close to her. She swung her sword to block and then slashed it. The collision of the sword and the scepter echoed in the air, and wave after wave of energy was released, like huge waves on the sea.

"Is this your power?"

A trace of emotion finally appeared in Aglaya's eyes. "So beautiful, so sacred, and as warm as the sun... Why, why can't such power be used to save Omphalos?"

The power of the sun is so dazzling.

But Aglaya felt that as the user of this power, Yaxiu was extremely evil!

He is willing to stand up to disasters for his people, and his image is as majestic and glorious as the sun.

But he will also wield a blade and conquer others with force and brutality. Those who dare to provoke him will become his enemies forever!

Once someone has been offended, benefits cannot bring about a turnaround, and rationality cannot make sense. This kind of person who is always driven by emotions makes Aglaya feel uncomfortable. She finds that she can't get along with Ash no matter what.

"How do you know that what I'm doing isn't saving Omphalos?!" Ash's eyes were cold. "Even Kephar, the one who betrayed the world, isn't omnipotent. If this were a global disaster, how could he, as a member of the world, send down an oracle that could resolve it?"

"You are... a person from outer space." Aglaya suddenly understood.

The feeling of disharmony in my heart until now was immediately cleared after I guessed that Ash came from outside Omfalos. This set of values that is completely different from those of the people of Omfalos, and the mysterious power to summon the sun, could never appear in Omfalos!

If I had known earlier...there are no ifs.

After guessing Ash was from the Otherworld, her decision became even more resolute. Everything in the Otherworld carries unpredictable risks. If Ash were willing to use his power to help the Golden One save the world, that would be another matter. But now, with Ash standing against Ohma, she couldn't risk everything. This was something Omphalos couldn't afford now!

boom! ——

The power of gold suddenly erupted, knocking Aglaia, who was briefly surprised, away. As Ash chased her, countless golden threads suddenly shot out from the void and bound around his body.

Ash could feel Aglaia's power from the golden thread that wove fate, but the golden thread could not withstand the heat of the sun. He was about to activate his power to burn it, but he heard Aglaia suddenly shout into the void -

"My Master!"

The next second, a door to a hundred worlds suddenly opened in front of Ash. Aglaya pulled hard, pulling both her and Ash into the door.

brush!

The scene changes.

As the golden thread was burned, Ash found himself deep in another space.

"In ancient times, Fajina of the Ocean discovered the origin of all power. She used her power to hide the starting point of the world. Many years later, the priests of the sea discovered this place and opened a path to the center of the vortex."

"The Heart of Creation, the great sanctuary housing the primordial divinity of the twelve Titans, is also the place where, as promised in the oracle, miracles will occur." Aglaya watched Ash from a distance. "King Ash, from the very beginning, you have been my target. If you had abandoned the power of Oronis and chosen to remain in Shurima, I would have been helpless. Unfortunately, you are too greedy. Coming from outer space, yet you wish to seize the power of this world."

As she spoke, she raised her sword, "King Ash, I will return the flame of time here."

Normally, access to the Vortex required the use of a ritual basin and a special ceremony, but priests with the power of Janus could force the door open if they so desired.

There was only one chance, and luckily she seized it.

Kill Ash here and Oronis's fire will be returned successfully.

And similarly, here, as the power of the Titan's original divinity, Aglaya, who inherited the power of "romance", will control a much stronger power than in the Abyss of Destiny!

brush!

Large golden threads shot out in the void.

Ash frowned slightly. He didn't know much about the Vortex of Creation, but perhaps he sensed its uniqueness. Since entering the Vortex of Creation, his connection to the Sun Disc had weakened considerably. Seeing the golden thread coming, he counterattacked with his scepter in hand.

The yellow sand surged up in the power, but was quickly suppressed by the power from the entire space.

boom!

In the sky, the 'romantic' fire cast a charming light, falling on Aglaya.

"Give up your futile struggle, King Ash. This is not your battlefield. The power of the Titans will reign supreme!"

laugh!

Countless golden threads pierced through the yellow sand shield and wrapped around Ash.

"Tsk, that's really troublesome."

The golden thread was much stronger than before. Ash found that the power of the sun could not burn it off. Unless his power broke through the third level, he would not be able to compete with Aglaia who was in the center of the vortex of creation.

"Your judgment has come."

After trapping Ash with the golden thread, Aglaia raised her sword and stabbed him without hesitation.

"It can only explode once."

As the blade approached, Ash prepared to mobilize the two latent powers of destiny, converging the three forces to blast out. The advantage of doing so was that it would greatly stimulate his strength in a short period of time. As long as the two powers of destiny appeared, his mark would be activated, causing the sun disc to rain down even more violent power.

With that level of power, it shouldn't be difficult to defeat Aglaia. However, the downside is that if the power is too strong, it will become uncontrollable, and Ash won't be able to predict what will happen.

"Come on! Fu Li, Mechanical Head, don't you want to see it? Then I'll let you see enough!"

Just as Ash was about to explode, a familiar voice suddenly came to his ears.
