Chapter 650
Chapter 650
After successfully getting rid of the group of hungry monsters, the area temporarily returned to peace.
Mimi shook off the slightly messy pink fur on her body, a smug look on her face, and said with her head held high, "Precise and elegant, effortless, can this be considered a challenge?" She said with a hint of complacency, as if the battle she had just experienced was just an easy game.
But soon, Mimi realized that what she said was inappropriate, and quickly added, "It's just a joke! I just want to express my admiration for everyone who can easily resolve every crisis they face." Her eyes were full of admiration, and her padded little hands were waving in the air, as if imitating the heroic posture in battle.
Xing raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile, and said jokingly, "Just average, third in the world."
Mimi immediately retorted, "You're too modest, my good friend! Then I'll reluctantly be second, and Xiaodie will be first." There was a hint of coquettishness in her voice.
However, at this time Lin Yu coughed twice gently, as if to remind Mimi not to forget his existence.
Mimi finally reacted, smiled awkwardly, looked at Lin Yu and said, "Ah...haha...good friend, the ranking is actually not that important. In my heart, you have always been the strongest~" She looked flattering, hoping to get Lin Yu's forgiveness.
Xiadie looked at everyone and smiled, "I'm glad everyone is okay. Let's get back to the topic. What is this amber?" Her eyes fell on the glowing amber.
At this moment, Calypso's figure appeared quietly like a ghost, "It's the remnant of Meneta."
Calypso continued, "As long as you take the Golden Branch Oath, pick the remaining flames before your eyes, and offer them to the Divine Butterfly, you can go to the throne in the tree canopy."
Tian was startled by Calypso's sudden appearance, "Wow! Where did you come from?!"
Xiadie looked at Calypso calmly, "Finally she appeared, Your Excellency Calypso."
"The battle just now was very exciting. I am really happy. It seems that I can really rely on you to regain my true identity."
Xiadie turned to look at Tian, "Master Tian, did the golden thread react to her?"
Tian carefully felt the vibration of the golden thread in his hand and shook his head, "Um... No... Not at all."
Calypso chuckled. "Haha, of course. After all, the fragments you just picked up have nothing to do with me."
"Okay, just do as I say. If you can pass this test, I will tell you the truth."
Xiadie frowned, "Another test..."
"Really? I hate people who only finish their sentences halfway!" Mimi muttered dissatisfiedly, waving her puffy little hands in the air to express her dissatisfaction.
"I've almost got an idea. Let's go, get the embers, and confront her face to face."
Then everyone returned to the tree hole.
"According to what Calypso said, we must swear with the golden branch to pick the remaining fire before our eyes..." Xiadie murmured to herself.
As soon as the golden water lily came into contact with amber, flames began to flow out from the petals. The magical thing was that the flames did not engulf the entire flower. Only tiny sparks gathered at the tips of the petals, burning faintly.
Mimi tilted her head and said, "Well, next... we can just give it to the butterfly?"
At this time, Calypso's figure slowly emerged, "Haha, it seems that you have collected the remaining fire. Now that we are here... we can offer it to the Divine Butterfly."
Xiadie nodded slightly, looked at Xing, and said, "It's okay, just do as she says."
Xing also nodded, without any hesitation, and offered the faintly burning golden branch oath.
Everyone held their breath and watched everything in front of them nervously.
When approaching the divine butterfly, a dazzling light suddenly burst out, as if illuminating the entire tree garden.
Tian jumped up excitedly and shouted, "Success! The road has grown!"
"Heh...you all have passed the test."
At this moment, a low roar similar to that of a Titan was heard.
Calypso stood there quietly and said slowly, "I'll be back soon."
The voice seemed to understand what she said, and its sad hum became deeper.
"Of course, we already had an agreement... but now... it's my turn to sacrifice myself."
"If the west wind has an end, we will meet there again. Farewell...my love."
"Mr. Calypso, what are you doing..." Xiadie called out to Calypso.
Calypso smiled slightly, with a hint of tenderness, "Hehe... It's nothing, thank you all for your help, now it's my turn to fulfill the agreement."
Xiadie frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Now that things have come to this, let me start. You...are actually the real Sersis, right?"
Mimi's eyes widened with a surprised expression on his face, "What...what's going on? You? Titan himself?"
"Ah, sons of men...you have finally passed the last test. I was wondering when you would expose me and how you discovered it?" She asked everyone about their reasoning process.
Xiadie took a deep breath and began to explain, "The puzzle-like trial, the suspicious but honest character, calling Meneta my love, and... the leader of the Lotus Food School, whose real name is Medea, not Calypso."
Sersis nodded slightly and asked with a smile, "Since you knew from the beginning that I was not that person, why did you expose it only now?"
"Because I don't believe that Sersis would walk on the earth in human form, and I am also worried that the Titans have been held hostage by the black tide and may put us to death...Also, there must be evidence for what you say, which is the precious knowledge I learned when I was studying in the Tree Garden."
"Oh... Very good, we can actually gain such a chance of survival in the midst of death. Fate is really mysterious and hard to understand."
"In that case... you should tell us why you went to so much trouble to set up such a puzzle, right?"
"Well, the reason is simple. I need help, but just as you are wary of me, I also need to make sure that you are not evil people who want to get your hands on the fire, and that you are capable of dealing with the threat that is imminent."
"Is this threat related to the Black Tide?"
"That's right. It's related to the lost item. Its owner is a silent and suspicious hunter. He seems to have emerged from the black tide and attacked with it. I can't do anything to him. I can only break my body and escape to avoid being harmed. I have been waiting for days and months to seek help. Unfortunately, this is not a long-term solution."
Tian tilted his head and asked curiously, "Well...you mean, you hid your fire?"
"Yes, it was divided into three parts. One was hidden in the Golden Bough Oath, one was sealed in amber along with the remaining flames of Meneta... As for the last one... it is now in the body of Kexia, waiting to be repaired."
"What? Could it be that you used this method..." There was a hint of shock in Xiadie's voice.
"After all, the scholars of the Tree Court have braved fire and blades to defend my flame, and have died calmly... As a noble god, it would be too shameful for me to just watch the sons of men sacrifice themselves for the sake of others, especially for the heretic named Na Ke Xia."
"He didn't hesitate to use his soul as a foundation to trigger a miracle. He laid a net in this tree garden and trapped all the black tide creatures in a cage to prevent them from harming others. I felt that this idea was so strange that it would be a pity to dissipate with the black tide, so I saved the life of the human son. Of course, I was also able to hide... Well, this is also an aspect of equal exchange, right?"
Mimi turned around excitedly and said loudly, "Ah, I figured it out! So, you want to use our hands to rekindle your fire and save Na Kexia!"
Sersis nodded slightly, "What a clever little rabbit! This way, I can regain my true identity, and you can bring the fire and my mentor back to Ohma... Also, we will meet at the throne together and take down the swordsman in black."
"But, Sersis, aren't you the Titan of Reason?" Tian asked curiously.
"Haha... Although I cannot fight for power, I am a god after all. I just need you to buy me some more time under the sword of the gladiator... Once the fire is forged, I will be able to give it a try."
Xing, Lin Yu and the others said together, "We must take it down in one fell swoop!"
A satisfied smile appeared on Sersis's face. "Very good, then, let's climb up to my throne, turn the Golden Branch Oath into firewood, and let the fire of reason burn again!"
Everyone was nervous and determined, aiming directly at the throne of enlightenment.
Along the way, the tree gardens became more bizarre, with vines wrapped around huge tree trunks and gleaming leaves swaying gently in the wind.
Tian noticed that Mimi was a little strange, "Xiao Xiaomi, what's wrong?"
"The memories here have a very strong smell... it's the smell of rushes, flying sand and scorching sun."
Xiadie was slightly startled, and seemed to have caught a hint of familiarity, and murmured, "This is... Teacher Xia at that moment..."
Everyone continued to move forward.
At this moment, the holographic image of Na Kexia came into view.
His body seemed a little weak, with a tired look on his face. He whispered, "Oh... I can't see... It doesn't matter, just put this body into the center of the formation. For Omphalos... Bury with me, Titan."
After reaching the top, everyone saw Kexia sitting with his head down not far away.
"Cersis was right. He is indeed here."
Tian looked at a figure in a black robe next to him and asked, "Who is that guy in the black robe?"
Mimi's eyes were filled with fear, and she trembled as she said, "This person is the source of the smell and memories just now... No, it is simply the memory itself! The burning wonderland, the broken sun, and... killing, death and destruction."
The man in black robe exuded a cold and powerful aura. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Not... demigod, step down, or die." His voice was cold, as if it was a verdict from hell.
Mimi was frightened by the powerful aura and shouted anxiously, "Everyone... run away! Only we... only we can't defeat it!"
Xing stepped forward and said, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you all."
Lin Yu did not back down and said loudly, "And us!"
San Yue Qi was not willing to be outdone, and said with a smile, "Hehe~ I am not a vegetarian either!"
Although Tian was a little scared, she still mustered up the courage to say, "Tian...Tian will also protect everyone. Tian is very brave!"
Xiadie looked at everyone and took a deep breath, "Everyone... Only this time... May death protect you and me! Be careful."
After saying this, she was about to summon the power of death, but was interrupted by the clone summoned by the black-robed swordsman.
The black-robed swordsman's attack was so swift and fierce that Xia Die was unable to resist for a moment and was knocked back. Fortunately, she was caught by Lin Yu in time.
The black-robed swordsman's voice sounded again, "One cut, two cuts, three cuts... that's enough."
Xiadie struggled to stand up, looking at the enemy in front of her, her heart filled with shock, and asked hurriedly, "Who are you? So strong... What Sersis said is true..."
Mimi looked around anxiously and shouted, "Where is she? Hasn't the fire been put together yet?"
A hint of murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the black-robed swordsman, "Use your soul to sacrifice to the fire."
Xiadie was shocked and cried out inwardly, "Not good!"
The black-robed swordsman then shouted, "Turn into...dead ashes!"
At this critical moment, the black-robed swordsman was about to continue his attack, but a hand pierced through his chest. It turned out to be Na Kexia?
"I couldn't kill you with one strike... As expected, you are not an ordinary person, and you are difficult to deal with. Humans, don't waver, just defeat them one by one. If you fail in the sneak attack, it will be difficult to succeed again... What a pity."
Xiadie looked at the figure in front of her, "Is that Teacher Kexia? Isn't it...Cersis?"
Before everyone could say a few words, the black-robed swordsman moved, and his wounds healed quickly.
The black-robed swordsman approached Na Kexia in an instant.
The sword in his hand flashed with a strange light and was filled with endless murderous intent as he stabbed towards Na Kexia swiftly.
At that moment, Xia was not in a hurry. He saw golden runes appearing out of thin air and quickly built an indestructible defensive barrier in front of him.
Seeing this, the black-robed swordsman turned his sword and his sword moves suddenly changed.
At that moment, Xia sensed the danger, stepped lightly, and cleverly avoided the fierce attack.
At the same time, she waved her hands, and the golden runes turned into several rays of light, shooting towards the black-robed swordsman like sharp arrows.
The black-robed swordsman reacted quickly, waving his sword to form a black light curtain that blocked all the incoming light.
The battle became more and more intense, and the two figures flashed in the strong wind.
However, the long period of high-intensity fighting gradually exhausted Na Kexia's physical strength.
She smiled bitterly, with a hint of helplessness in her voice, and said slowly, "Haha, I'm really overwhelmed. Fighting is much more tiring than thinking. It's not easy... I'm exhausted." Her body trembled slightly, and every movement seemed extremely strenuous. Her face was full of fatigue.
"But I won't fall!"
At this critical moment, Tian, who was far away, was extremely anxious. Suddenly, her face turned pale, as if she had seen something extremely terrifying. She screamed, "No... Everyone be careful!"
The black-robed swordsman's aura was surging wildly, and the sword in his hand was wrapped in a thick black aura.
Cut it off with one sword.
The moment Xia was at the center, he was instantly beaten back.
Seeing this, Xing quickly caught her.
A hint of determination flashed in Tian's eyes, and without the slightest hesitation, "Baijiemen..."
After hearing the three words from Tian, everyone's eyes were on Tian.
"Wait..I have a solution..."
Before Lin Yu could finish his words, Tian had already opened the Gate of Hundred Worlds.
"Let's turn the situation around! Go!"
As she moved, the space around her began to vibrate violently, and the Hundred Worlds Gate slowly opened.
The huge door emitted a dazzling light that made it impossible for people to open their eyes.
The Hundred Realms Gate released a powerful suction force, controlled by Tian, which was bound to teleport the black-robed swordsman away.
The black-robed swordsman let out a deafening roar the moment he was sent in.
His body struggled frantically, trying to break free from the crowd's restraints. He waved the sword in his hand wildly, and black sword energy flew everywhere, leaving deep grooves on the ground and the surrounding walls.
But the black-robed swordsman was finally successfully sent into the Hundred Worlds Gate.
As the Hundred Worlds Gate slowly closed, the heart-pounding aura gradually dissipated.
At that moment, Xia was breathing heavily and slowly collapsed to the ground.
Her body trembled with exhaustion, and every inch of her muscle seemed to tell of the difficulty of the battle.
"Cough cough..." She coughed out a mouthful of blood, staining the dust on the ground red.
And Tian also fainted due to excessive use of his divine power.
"Lord Tian..." Xiadie's body trembled violently.
Afterwards, Lin Yu went over and picked up Tian. It seemed that Tian just fainted, and there seemed to be nothing abnormal with his body.
Xiadie turned her attention to Na Kexia again, "Cersis...are you okay? That blow just now..."
"It's okay. That attack won't be dangerous to this body. I just might fall asleep for a while..."
