Chapter 619
Chapter 619
"The Scales of Justice, this is the first time I've seen it in its entirety." Bai'e looked up at the huge and ancient scales in front of him.
"Taranton, the second of the three Titans of Destiny, is said to be the one who created the 'laws' that govern the operation of the world."
"Its fire has returned to its place, but the golden descendant who took over the priesthood... is now missing." Xiadie walked forward and introduced in a clear voice.
"At least, the laws that keep the world running are still stable. No matter where the demigod is, he has fulfilled his mission."
"Leave..Leave."
"Don't touch...my sister's things, leave..."
The voice, with obvious resistance and uneasiness, entered Xiadie's mind.
"Sister? What do you mean?" Lin Yu frowned, his eyes full of confusion.
"Some people use the word 'sisters' to describe the relationship between the three Titans of Destiny. She might be referring to Taranton's Libra." Xiadie explained patiently.
"Try to repair Libra. There are no roads nearby." Bai'e said to Xing after carefully observing the surroundings.
When Xing performed a miracle, the broken scales became whole.
"It hurts... it hurts... it hurts a lot."
"Will performing a miracle cause it so much pain?" Bai'e was puzzled.
"The scale is the entrance... the scale is the test."
"Libra...does it want us to complete the balance?" Bai'e turned and asked Xiadie.
"It should be correct." Xiadie nodded slightly.
However, just as she finished saying this, she held her forehead and her expression became somewhat painful.
"Are you okay, Miss Xiadie?" Seeing this, Bai E's heart tightened and he subconsciously wanted to support Xiadie's shoulders.
But Xiadie seemed to be electrocuted and immediately took a step back, avoiding Bai'e's hand.
"I... I'm fine, it's just... Oronis's pain is resonating with me." Xiadie explained with a slight breath.
"Being able to understand the Titans' language is also a burden. Let's end this quickly." Bai'e nodded and withdrew his hand that was stuck in the air.
He was secretly alert in his heart. It seemed that he had to change his subconscious behavior of wanting to touch Xiadie, otherwise, it would bring unnecessary trouble to himself and Xiadie.
Fortunately, Xiadie reacted quickly and took a step back in time, otherwise, I really don’t know what would have happened.
"There are two weights on it. I guess we should put them on." Lin Yu pointed to the scale, staring at the two weights placed quietly aside, and said.
"Take them all and try them first." Bai E said as he signaled everyone to take action.
Then, everyone controlled Zagreus's hand, and the huge mechanical arm slowly flew over, steadily lifted the weight, and gently placed it on the scale.
However, the scales seemed to be fixed, motionless, with no signs of tilting.
"Do we need to replace the stone ball as well?" San Yue Qi tilted his head and suddenly asked.
"Maybe it's possible." Bai E nodded slightly.
Afterwards, everyone began to look for a passage, and after some exploration, they finally reached the upper platform.
They manipulated Zagreus's hand again and carefully replaced the weights and stone balls.
"It's a futile attempt.. Just give up.. Just give up."
"You think you won? Arrogant... Stupid..."
"I have found something heavier than the fate of the world."
"All we have to do is let the tray on this side sink, right? Think about it... this shouldn't be difficult." Bai'e muttered to himself, his eyes full of thought.
"Hey!"
Suddenly, Xing yelled, took out a baseball bat, and swung it at Libra.
She thought that this blow would cause the scale to tilt, but the expected situation did not occur, and the scale remained stable and motionless.
"Xing... Sir? Are you okay?" Xiadie looked at Xing with a worried look and asked hurriedly.
But to Xing, Xiadie's words seemed to be questioning whether there was something wrong with her brain, and she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
"It seems that using brute force to pass the test is not an option." Bai E shook his head helplessly, with a bitter smile on his face.
Another burst of mumbling was heard, Xiadie frowned slightly, and her expression became solemn.
Seeing this, Bai'e hurriedly asked, "What did it say, Xiadie?"
"Oronis seemed a little annoyed... because we treated his test as a joke."
"In other words, we need to find something that is literally heavier than the "fate of Omfalos"? It sounds like an unsolvable problem. For the people of Omfalos, is there really something more important than this land?" Lin Yu murmured to himself, frowning and falling into deep thought.
"For the people of Omphalus, the fate of the world is too heavy a weight to bear."
"But maybe Titan can't think of it.. For outsiders like us, we have not yet integrated into the life and death of this world from the bottom of our hearts." A gleam of light suddenly flashed in Lin Yu's eyes, as if he thought of something.
"From our perspective, there is a treasure that is more important than this world, or even the entire starry sky."
Lin Yu looked at everyone.
“That’s the ‘companion’ that I’ve been traveling with till now.”
"March, you stand up." Lin Yu turned his head and looked at March 7, saying seriously.
"Ah...? Me?" San Yueqi looked at the tray, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, and her feet unconsciously shrank back.
"Trust me, March."
Looking at Lin Yu's determined face, March Seven did not doubt Lin Yu's intention to do this. She was just... a little afraid of heights.
Taking a deep breath, she mustered up the courage to jump onto the scale, hugged the weights tightly, and closed her eyes.
The next moment, something unexpected happened, the scales slowly tilted.
"How heavy is March... It can even push down the Libra..." Xing couldn't help but tease, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.
"Xing! I heard everything!" San Yue Qi shouted from below, with a hint of anger in his voice.
"Creaky..." With a dull sound, the door slowly opened.
"The door downstairs is open!" March 7 shouted.
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly went back the way they came and ran towards the open door. The door was not closed again because of March 7th.
"We passed it, and I think Oronis was a little surprised."
"At least it kept its promise and opened the way for an audience."
When everyone entered the open door, the whispering voice could be heard again, as if it came from all directions at the same time, lingering in everyone's ears.
"This is..." Bai E stopped.
"It was like a cold current seeping into my mind, a pair of hands with hundreds of fingers stirring up my memories."
"Those who have a happy life might enjoy this kind of intervention..." Xiadie said, with an unnatural expression on her face.
The crowd continued to walk down the stairs carefully, and what came into view was an extremely spectacular yet weird scene.
An extremely huge space suddenly appeared before my eyes, surrounded by steep rocks, standing coldly and silently.
And in the void in front of everyone, there was a dreamy blue aurora. The aurora was like a sharp blade that tore through the darkness, or like a huge eye that suddenly opened in the darkness, emitting a mysterious and captivating light, as if staring at every move of the intruder.
