Tear pull –

With the sound of something being cut open, a shocking wound was cut in the world.

Then, something falls out of it.

"Bang. ”

The height of more than ten meters was extraordinary, and with a tremor of the marble floor, something from outside the world finally fell to the earth, kicking up a thick cloud of smoke and dust.

As if a mission had been accomplished, the rift that connected the inner and outer sides of the world gradually healed, and finally smoothed out, leaving not even the slightest trace in this world.

Time passes slowly.

It seems to have become an abandoned place forgotten by the world, and the hustle and bustle of the outside world has nothing to do with this place, everything is so comfortable and quiet, until ...... Something out of this world—more precisely, some ragged teenager with his blood-crusted index knuckles slightly flexed.

With this as a prelude, Amy Ulysses's consciousness gradually revived.

The eyelashes that were not too long blinked subconsciously, and under the invasion of a strong sense of dizziness, the young man opened his eyes with difficulty, and the dark pupils were as deep as the deep darkness that devoured everything in the deepest part of the deepest night, which reflected the vast cosmic void.

To be shocked just by seeing it, to perceive one's own insignificance by mere sight—there is no doubt that there is something inhuman that dwells in the flesh of the Glorious One at this moment—no, it is too arrogant and too foolish to use such a broad and narrow concept to describe and define a great being that human beings cannot understand or recognize.

But none of this has anything to do with teenagers.

The microcosm in the pitch-black pupils disappeared in an instant, and the young glorious man almost fell into a coma again due to physical pain the moment he woke up.

Pain, pain, pain!

Every tendon in the body is sore, every bone is dull and painful, and even the brain is groggy and can't operate, as if it has been circled by the whirlwind set off by Mia, dizzy, nauseous, and nauseous...... All kinds of discomfort can add up to almost break a person's will.

So the boy was just silent, enduring the pain that seemed to never end in sight.

Previously...... What's going on?

Amy cares more about the loss of memory than about physical discomfort - she doesn't know what happened, and the last memory is just a pure white world suddenly swallowed up by cold and deep darkness.

What happened after that?

I don't know.

How did he get here?

I don't know.

The head seemed to have turned into a mess, except for the memories related to Ignati, which were relatively clear, and the memories after that were completely blank, as if they had been completely erased by an invisible hand, leaving no traces.

Was he in a coma straight after that, or did he lose his memory of that time for some reason? Amy wasn't quite sure, but what he was sure was that he would be in this place...... It's not normal.

Not for anything else, but because this is the temple of Hephaestus.

A temple dedicated to the flame.

The Barot-style building, the sense of grandeur and sacredness created by the spacious, tall and simple space design, the young man's gaze stopped slightly on the seemingly unreachable dome and the magnificent pillars that supported the heavens and the earth, and then shook his head: Although he has never had the opportunity to enter this temple that is regarded as the supreme god, its description is not uncommon in various texts, and it is not easy to misunderstand the unique architectural style in Hemtika.

If it's a coincidence, it's too coincidental, right?

Tinder –

It is the wreckage of the ancestors after they were burned out.

Ignati's words lingered in his mind, as if under some spell, and he suddenly wanted to go deep into the temple of Hephaestus and get a glimpse of the fire. But Amy has never been a person who allows emotional action, the idea has just been born, and he decisively extinguished it, the truth of the fire and the ancestors is indeed important, but now it is more important to ...... Inform Duke Goldsworthy and other powerful figures about the catastrophe he had seen.

In all fairness, the only ones who can stop the monster's resurgence are probably the Order and the Glory.

Therefore, it is important to prioritize things.

I'm afraid that the Order's side will also have to go on a trip in person, and the unexpected separation from Mia basically announced that the previous plan was aborted, and the teenager who was not sure about Mia's current situation did not dare to bet on the possibility of Hemtika's future, and since he wanted to do it, he had to do his best no matter what, and do the best he could.

The pain gradually lessened as time passed, and after a while, Amy was finally able to try to get up from the ground, although her body was still a little uncomfortable, but the minimum mobility was guaranteed, and the next thing to do was to act.

Perhaps the Upper District is now in danger due to the war with the Chaos Sect.

But at least Hephaestus should still be safe...... Right?

The boy thought so, and then took a step, the temple of Hephaestus was very large, and the space was wide enough, and he walked on the avenue without much concealment, and there was a burst of empty footsteps.

Seem...... A little too quiet?

Unconsciously stopped, raising his eyebrows.

The Temple of Hephaestus is a sacred place to worship the fire, although the various Glory Families will not send the strongest person in the family to sit in the town, but none of the Glory Bearers who can become the guardians of the temple are mediocre hands, and the Temple High Priest Edgar Goldsworth is one of the strongest people in Hemtika City, coupled with a certain symbiotic relationship with the Tinder, even if the plural Dark Ministers attack, it will definitely not be able to invade this Supreme Temple that carries the hope and future of Hemtika.

Is he overthinking?

Perhaps.

Amy thought noncommittally, and couldn't help but raise her vigilance to the highest level. He trusts his instincts more than the true or false information, and there is nothing wrong with being cautious.

And so—

The sound of breathing gradually subsided, and the sound of footsteps completely subsided

The boy walked silently down the road like a cat, and he had no intention of leaving, and though he had no intention of making a fire, he was going to meet Edgar, the temple priest who would never leave the temple of Hephaestus, who must have known many of the secrets of Hemtica, and might know something about the evil things he had seen in the harbingers of death, which were almost as terrible as the manifestation of chaos.

If this noble person who is faintly above the secular system of Hemtika explains the situation, presumably even if the city lord has any opinions about him, he will not interfere with it, but even so, he is still somewhat uneasy in his heart, after all...... Even if he is not bound by the secular concept of family, after the name of that person, he is still given the surname Galsworthy, and there is still the same blood as Duke in his body.

Let's hope everything goes well.

Logically speaking, the person who can sit in that seat will not be so willful, but emotionally speaking, Amy still has a very strong sense of insecurity in his heart, even if he already knows at the moment that this unwarranted uneasiness will only become an obstacle to this trip, but sometimes people's inner cowardice is difficult to overcome in a short period of time by will, and in this regard, Amy Ulysses will not be an exception.

But unlike ordinary people, the teenager has a very strong sense of purpose, and has the ability to act to match, and will never have any hesitation due to the timidity and cowardice in his heart, no matter how strong the sense of uneasiness in his heart is, he can suppress it and act according to the plan he has made.

However, even so, the steps he took under his feet could not help but stop in the next moment.

Sure enough—

With her eyes narrowing slightly, Amy carefully retracted the halfway steps she had taken, moved her body towards the wall little by little, cautiously, and then stepped out of the corner of the arch, carefully surveying the world behind the door.

Blood, flowing freely on the marble floor, more than a dozen corpses fell to the ground, judging from the weapons drawn, there should have been some resistance, but behind the arch, the ring hall stained red with blood and corpses, there were no corresponding traces of battle.

Other words...... In just a moment, the resistance was over.

They were all dead.

Not even a decent battle broke out, and a dozen or so glorious people who could be called first-class even in the upper districts died quietly in the temple of Hephaestus. In times of peace, it might have caused a turmoil that swept through the entire upper district, but in the war with the eternal war, their death was only an insignificant splash under the dark tide of the sea, and not even a ripple was enough.

But that's just relative to the general trend of history, different people have different perspectives, and Amy Ulysses didn't think about those big and empty things at this moment, all he felt was a deep chill - the trouble was big, no matter from which point of view, the trouble was big.

Even if he doesn't think about the long term, just thinking about the present, the forces, groups or people who killed more than a dozen Glory Ones in one fell swoop will inevitably pose a serious threat to him, even if he has improved by leaps and bounds during this period of time, and he is confident that he can make a few moves with the dark ministers who are rumored to be enough to pose a threat to the Glory Group in a single city, it can't stop him from being injured now— Not to mention combat, even relatively strenuous exercise can cause secondary damage to the body, and once you encounter those terrible enemies, even if you have a premonition of death, you will not escape death.

If you look a little longer, you will find an even more terrifying fact - the Temple of Hephaestus is a sacred place for the Descendants of Glory, a sacred place outside the existing power system, and the only one who dares to provoke it in the upper districts is probably the Chaos Sect, but as an old organization with thousands of years of grudges and entanglements with the Glory, how can it not know how amazing the temple is defended, and how can it not think of a way to deal with it.

In other words, the enemy came prepared.

I'm afraid that a plurality of the Dark Ministers have been dispatched, and they have the power to rival one city with one person, and even Ignati can't help but be shocked after hearing this name, and it is likely that he is among the enemies.

Because only in this way is it possible to pose a threat to the fire.

That's right—

Tinder.

In addition, the young man couldn't think of anything else in the Temple of Hephaestus that was worthy of such a mobilization of the Chaos Sect, and even the absolute main force on the frontal battlefield was also drawn out to participate in this operation.

So, how to choose.

Amy Ulysses narrowed his eyes, fate had split before him into two complementary and intertwined straight paths.

One may lead to glory and the other to destruction, but it is more likely that there is no hope in any way he travels, and there is only despair at the end of the road...... The destruction of equality.

Therefore, the one of glory lifted up his head.

And then stride forward.
