Derick wasn't worried that he would be affected by the Fla Reaver's mories and beco Mara-Struck, but he still had to experience the scenes within those remaining mories.
Forcibly suppressing them, Derick said to Castorice, "We might need to go back and rest for a bit."
Of course, Castorice didn't think Derick was in a rush to do sothing else. She could see that his expression was slightly off, so she quickly asked with concern, "Derick, what's wrong?"
Cipher and Polyxia also ca forward.
"Derry, is your old problem acting up again?" Cipher asked him urgently.
"What's wrong with him?" Castorice asked Cipher.
Derick waved his hand, signaling that he was fine, then explained to Castorice, "It seems that after I killed the Fla Reaver last ti, I felt a portion of its power enter my body. This power might have so negative effects on , but I feel like this should be the last ti. Once this is over, I won't have to worry about it anymore, and my strength will be further enhanced."
"Derry, have you figured out the source of your problem?" Cipher asked Derick.
"Yeah, I received quite a bit of information last ti, so now I know." Derick nodded.
He thought that this ti, after obtaining all the mories, he could finally tell Castorice, Cipher, and the others about the situation on Amphoreus.
"Let's go back to our residence at the Alchemy Commission first." Seeing that Derick was uncomfortable, Castorice quickly pulled him towards the Alchemy Commission's lodging.
Cipher and Polyxia didn't delay either, escorting Derick onto a small starskiff that navigated within the Luofu Xianzhou, and then they headed straight for the Alchemy Commission.
It wasn't until they reached the residence in the Alchemy Commission and Derick was lying down that he was finally able to accept those mories into his mind.
Cipher watched from the side and gently patted Castorice's shoulder.
Castorice glanced at Cipher's expression, understanding her thoughts. She then sat down beside Derick and reached out to take his hand.
"Don't be afraid. I'm here."
At this mont, Cipher also quietly moved to Derick's other side and reached out to take his other hand.
At any other ti, Castorice would have definitely given Cipher a few good whacks with her scythe to let her know her intentions.
Polyxia and Hyacine couldn't get any closer and could only watch from the side, their eyes filled with worry.
Looking at their expressions, Derick didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "It's not like I'm about to die. You don't have to look at like that. With you all here, I just need to absorb the energy for a bit, and I'll be fine."
"We'll wait for you here."
Castorice said quickly from the side.
"Okay." Derick nodded, then slowly closed his eyes and began to read the remaining mories.
As he read the mories, Derick's brow furrowed slightly. Castorice quickly tightened her grip. Feeling the slight coolness of Castorice's hand, Derick's brow relaxed considerably.
The mories of the Fla Reaver, Phainon, began just as before, with the endless slaughter of the Golden Kin.
Although Derick maintained his composure and didn't grow numb to the deaths of Castorice, Cipher, and the others, he could clearly feel himself holding Castorice's and Cipher's hands, preventing the sorrowful emotions from affecting him too much.
These scenes are all in the past. I will change the future.
Derick thought to himself as he witnessed death again and again.
Eventually, he discovered a new character appearing in the looping mories, a pink-haired girl nad Cyrene.
A girl who had obtained the power of the Ti Titan in a loop where he hadn't arrived.
At the sa ti, looking at Cyrene and sensing the authority and power within her, Derick also knew that she was the m who had appeared beside Stelle in the ga.
"What truth will her appearance reveal to ?"
Derick pondered in his heart.
Then, he discovered that in the subsequent loops, the instances of slaughtering Castorice, Cipher, Mydei, and the other Golden Kin were gradually decreasing. The Fla Reaver, or rather, Phainon, was shifting towards a relatively peaceful thod to obtain the Golden Kin's Corefla.
What on earth is he trying to do by gathering so much Corefla in his body?
Derick mused in his mind.
Finally, he reached the end of the mories and the loops.
After more than thirty million cycles, the beginning of Phainon's first journey to pursue the fla.
He and Cyrene ca from a small village on the frontier of Amphoreus called Aedes Elysiae.
After their hotown was struck by the Black Tide, he and Cyrene, as Golden Kin, set out for Okhema.
What followed was much more ordinary.
Phainon and Cyrene joined Okhema's army and beca acquainted with Aglaea, Stelle, Castorice, and the others. Finally, after experiencing all kinds of difficulties, struggles, and partings, Phainon and Cyrene, as the last of the Golden Kin, arrived at the Vortex of Genesis holding the Corefla of the Creation Titan and the Ti Titan, preparing to carry out the final work of Re-creation.
"Here it cos. This is the most crucial mont. How Phainon beca the Fla Reaver will depend on what happens now."
Derick thought to himself.
Then, the world before Phainon and Cyrene began to shatter, everything turning into a doomsday-like scene.
No, it's not doomsday. Derick's gaze turned to the sky. It was beginning to look like an electronic screen.
Amphoreus was revealing its true form in Derick's mory.
Amphoreus is just a giant 'computer'.
The Re-creation of Amphoreus was rely a calculation of this 'computer', and all the 'people' of Amphoreus were just insignificant lines of code within the 'computer'.
Phainon was, Cyrene was, and even Castorice and Cipher were too.
Then his vision returned to the Vortex of Genesis.
Only this ti, there was one more person in the Vortex of Genesis.
Lygus, who called himself a Divine Spectator.
"This is a mont to be rembered by the universe. After tens of millions of calculations, the testing ground nad Amphoreus welcos its final result."
Lygus said to Phainon and Cyrene.
Then, he continued, "The entirety of Amphoreus is an experintal field. The journey of every Golden Kin, every single Re-creation, is a deep learning session for the Black Tide."
The endpoint of Amphoreus is an Equation of Destruction.
Lygus's words stirred sothing in Derick's heart.
Equation of Destruction...
"The entirety of Amphoreus... could it be an Imperial Scepter?"
Derick pondered.
Derick knew how formidable this thing was.
It was a celestial-grade computer capable of continuous calculation, created by Rupert II based on the thought processes of Nous. After the Imperial War, most of the Imperial Scepter was destroyed or abandoned.
And Amphoreus was actually an unrecovered Imperial Scepter that had been calculating continuously. After all these years of constant calculation, what kind of result it had computed was truly beyond Derick's imagination.
However, this thought was quickly answered. Get full chapters from novelꜰire
Lygus continued to speak: "As long as you are willing to accept this equation, you can transform from digital lifeforms into true life. In the na of the Lord Ravager, [Irontomb]."
The Lord Ravager, Irontomb! So this was the truth behind the Lord Ravager that he knew was hidden on Amphoreus before he transmigrated.
The Lord Ravager, Irontomb, was preparing to be born.
The Imperial Scepter, the Lord Ravager, and Derick still rembered those hidden people from the Garden of Recollection.
All of the above constituted the existence of Amphoreus.
"But what I really didn't expect, Lygus, was that I thought you were a follower of the Path of Erudition, a mber of the Intelligentsia Guild. I never thought that you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, were actually a follower of Destruction, wanting to witness the birth of a Lord Ravager."
Derick thought to himself.
The rest of the mory was of Cyrene and Phainon resolving to deceive the Imperial Scepter, making Amphoreus repeat its loop ti and again, waiting for a miracle to appear and obstruct the birth of Amphoreus's Lord Ravager.
After more than thirty million loops, Phainon had beco the ruthless Fla Reaver, who would stop at nothing to obtain the Titan's Corefla. And Amphoreus finally welcod its change.
In the ga, it was the Astral Express that brought Stelle and Dan Heng to Amphoreus. But in the reality Derick was in, it was Derick who transmigrated to Amphoreus, absorbing the Corefla of the Amphoreus Titans.
And unlike the Fla Reaver's absorption, Derick's body possessed the power of the Path of Voracity, which was truly knowing and changing Amphoreus.
Ultimately, he was forced to flee Amphoreus by Lygus.
"If Amphoreus is an Imperial Scepter, then I really do need to change it from within first. And those Borisin people, I can't rush to send them there. At the very least, I need to turn Amphoreus from illusory to real first."
Derick mused.
After much thought, Derick beca certain of one thing.
To save Amphoreus, he had to beco an Emanator. Only then could he defeat Lygus and resolve everything on Amphoreus.
Most importantly, he had to deal with the nascent Lord Ravager, [Irontomb].
As for how to deal with it, Derick already had a plan in mind.
Devour it. Devour Irontomb completely.
Only by doing so could he completely reverse this entire situation.
And turn Amphoreus into reality.
This concept gradually ford in Derick's mind, roughly establishing his future plan for saving Amphoreus.
As Derick pondered these things, the emotions from witnessing the slaughter of the Golden Kin subsided, and his outward expression beca peaceful.
Cipher and Castorice looked at Derick and felt as if he had fallen asleep, both letting out a sigh of relief.
"Derry is recovering really quickly this ti. As expected, my plan last ti was a great success," Cipher said, not so accidentally.
"Plan?" Having just relaxed, Castorice's face showed a hint of confusion upon hearing Cipher's words.
At the sa ti, she looked at Cipher holding Derick's hand and couldn't help but glare at her fiercely.
You bad cat, where do you think you're putting your paws?
Even before they had their most intimate mont, Cipher had dared to kiss Derick right in front of Castorice. Now that they had done everything, Cipher grew even more provocative, sticking out her tongue and licking the back of Derick's hand.
Castorice was furious. If Derick weren't asleep like this, she would have sliced at her with her scythe.
After doing that, Cipher glanced at Polyxia.
[Polyxia, now is the best chance for you to tell Castorice about what happened between you and Derry. There was a reason for it, and then the rest will be easier to explain. Once you've confessed, the others can naturally speak up as well.]
Cipher gestured with her eyes.
Polyxia received the ssage.
Cipher left the room, but before she did, she grabbed Hyacine.
"Hyacine, this is not sothing you should be listening to right now."
Of course, that might not be the case in the future.
Cipher thought to herself.
Of those who had left Amphoreus, only Hyacine was still single. Cipher felt that wasn't quite right!
Hyacine was dragged away in a state of confusion.
In the room, only the 'sleeping' Derick, Castorice, and Polyxia remained.
Castorice didn't know what was happening, but she instinctively felt that sothing was wrong.
Polyxia's heart was pounding violently.
"Polyxia? What on earth happened?" Castorice asked her softly.
Polyxia looked up at her sister and said quietly, "It's just that… and my brother-in-law, Derick, had a… line-crossing incident."
After thinking for a long ti about what to say, Polyxia ultimately decided to tell the truth.
"Line-crossing?" When Castorice heard Polyxia say this, she didn't react at first. But a mont later, she understood what her sister ant.
"You… you… how could you two do that? What happened? You… you and my…"
She wore a look of utter disbelief.
She never imagined her own sister would do such a thing.
Anger, fury, helplessness…
So many emotions flooded Castorice's mind at once.
Castorice wouldn't hurt Derick, nor would she hurt Polyxia. She sat there stunned, staring straight at Polyxia, wanting her to explain everything.
"It was like this… this incident wasn't brother-in-law Derick's fault. At the ti, he was also in that situation, and it was much more serious than now…"
Polyxia then told Castorice about how Derick had been receiving mories at the ti, how his state had been unstable, and how he was on the verge of entering a Mara-Struck state at any mont. Then, she continued, explaining that to calm Derick down, she had disguised herself as Castorice, and in the heat of the mont, a relationship had ford between her and Derick.
"So, you're saying this was all an accident?"
Castorice said to Polyxia.
After hearing the whole story, her heart ached for Derick, and her composure returned, her eyes becoming clear again.
"It was an accident, but it also wasn't…"
Polyxia naturally didn't want her sister to think it was just a simple accident.
"Sister, I like Derick too. I… I want to be like you, sister."
Polyxia said with a determined expression.
Hearing Polyxia say this, Castorice's expression froze.
Polyxia's gaze was fixed on Castorice, wanting to see her reaction clearly.
The entire space fell silent; the air itself seed to solidify.
Finally, Castorice let out a helpless smile.
"I had prepared myself for this day. I just… never thought the first one to say this to would be my own sister."
Castorice said softly.
