Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 241 Visiting Ohma

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong still had some doubts, but he understood what the blonde woman in front of him was worried about.

Indeed, if he had really freed up the zeroth rated power just now.

It is likely that not only the Marble Palace, but also Ohm and its surrounding areas may be affected by the power of annihilation.

Just as Lin Qiong was thinking about this, Bai E, who had previously defeated Nicardoli, suddenly strode over here.

"Aglaia, Nicardi has clearly been defeated, so why hasn't the spark of conflict appeared yet?"

The blonde woman, called "Aglaia," shook her head, then turned to look at Bai E, who was standing beside Lin Qiong, and slowly said:

“This is not Nicardi himself, but just one of his many divine bodies. The spark is not here.”

"Just a clone..." Bai E lowered his head, his grip on his sword tightening unconsciously, his murmur tinged with disappointment, "...Has my test not yet arrived?"

Seeing Bai E's slightly anxious expression, Aglaia chuckled and then comforted him:

"Bai'er, there's no need to be anxious. Now that Nicardoli's avatar has been defeated, those followers of the divine punishment will surely follow the footsteps of the strife and leave."

“My master has already gone to follow them, and I believe that it will not be long before he finds the true location of Nicardoli.”

"This... was this your plan from the beginning...?"

As if suddenly awakened, Bai'er looked up at Aglaia with wide, shocked eyes.

“Of course.” Aglaia replied calmly and unhurriedly, “Otherwise, I wouldn’t have risked removing part of the golden thread and allowing Nicardi’s clone to invade the Marble Palace.”

"...What is all this nonsense?"

Lin Qiong listened to the conversation between the two, but his head was filled with a jumble of thoughts, and he couldn't understand what they were saying at all.

One minute they say it's Nicardi's clone, the next they mention the fire seed, and then they say they're going to find Nicardi's true form.

This made him even more confused, as he already knew very little about Onphalus.

However, just as Lin Qiong was trying to sort out his thoughts, the two people who had been affected by the strange voice earlier—Dan Heng and Xing—were walking towards him.

Sensing the two approaching, Lin Qiong instantly snapped out of his thoughts and looked them up to examine them closely.

When Lin Qiong saw that their previously pale faces had returned to normal, he finally relaxed.

In the time that followed, Aglaia and Bai'er answered many of Lin Qiong's questions and revealed some of the truth about this world...

"You mean, you Golden Blood fought so hard to defeat the twelve Titans and seize their fire, all for the sake of that uncertain 'Rebirth'?"

Lin Qiong frowned, looking at Aglaia with a puzzled expression, and asked:

"What if that prophecy is false, and the re-creation is actually a complete hoax?"

Aglaia shook her head. "Now the Black Tide has swept across the world, and the earth has sunk into eternal night. Only Ohma, under the protection of Kefal, retains the last glimmer of light."

"Since we are already at rock bottom with nowhere to retreat, we have no choice but to take a gamble. For the future of Onphalus, I am willing to try the unknown re-creation."

"But......"

Lin Qiong opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but was interrupted by Aglaia raising her hand.

"How about this? Our three distinguished guests, please first visit the 'Holy City' and see how the people here survive despite their hardships. Once you've seen it for yourselves, you'll surely understand."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong exchanged a glance with his two companions beside him, a hint of hesitation appearing on their faces.

However, seeing that Aglaia had already made a gesture of invitation, they had no choice but to nod.

Just as Lin Qiong and the other two were about to turn around and leave for Ohma, Aglaia spoke up again without warning.

"The three of you, please promise me one thing." She looked at Lin Qiong and the other two, her tone laced with an unyielding edge. "No matter what, you must not reveal the existence of the 'Outer Heavens' to the citizens."
