Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 318 Relentless Pursuit

Just as Bai E was about to tell everyone this bad news—the Black Tide had strengthened the power of the Sky Titan—…

The vertical pupil located on the chest of the Sky Titan began to rotate once more.

The ominous vertical pupils were scanning the crowd below, as if scrutinizing Lin Qiong and his group gathered around Bai E.

Suddenly, a thick black beam shot out from that vertical pupil, sweeping straight towards the direction where everyone was.

"Scatter!"

Among the crowd, Dan Heng reacted extremely quickly, shouting a warning the moment he saw the beam of light appear.

Upon hearing the noise, everyone immediately scattered to the open spaces on the left and right to avoid the sudden attack.

The black beam of light grazed the hem of everyone's clothes and carved a black and red mark on the ground.

"Huh? What's this?"

After dodging the beam of light, Lin Qiong's gaze was immediately drawn to the deep red patch, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

This was the first time he had ever seen anything like this in Onphalus.

It was a jumble of random characters flickering with an eerie black and red light, its edges forming irregular geometric shapes.

At first glance, it appears as if the surface of the real world has been torn open by a black beam of light, leaving a scar filled with "data".

Just as Lin Qiong was staring at the black and red gibberish with a puzzled expression, deep in thought.

A voice suddenly rang in his ear.

"That's the Kuroshio Current."

Lin Qiong looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person who spoke was Bai E.

He was staring intently at the black and red jumble of characters, and slowly began to speak:

"Onfaros... was corrupted into his current state by this unknown force."

"This is the Kuroshio?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong frowned slightly and looked at the black and red garbled text again.

This was the first time he had ever seen the true face of the Kuroshio.

Prior to this, he had always believed that the Kuroshio was nothing more than a large army formed by the Kuroshio's creations.

But after hearing Bai Er's explanation, he realized how wrong he was.

It turns out that what led Onphalos to its gradual destruction was these black and red gibberish codes that could wipe the ground away!

The so-called Black Tide Creations are nothing more than monsters born from this jumble of code!

When Lin Qiong realized this, a chilling thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Bai'er, I want to ask you something. Before the Black Tide arrived, what exactly did Onfaros...?"

Just as he was about to ask Bai'er how big the land area of ​​Onfaros was before it was swallowed by the Black Tide,

Before the words were even finished, a black beam of light shot towards their location once more.

"Danger! Get out of the way!"

Bai E reacted instantly and shoved Lin Qiong beside him, separating the two.

The next second, the black beam grazed Lin Qiong's clothes, passed between the two, and exploded into a crater of interwoven black and red codes behind them.

Lin Qiong staggered a few steps before regaining his footing. He looked back with lingering fear, a bead of cold sweat sliding down his forehead.

After regaining his composure, Lin Qiong abruptly turned his head to stare directly at the Titan in the sky, his eyes filled with anger: "I almost forgot about you!"

Lin Qiong roared, and a dazzling red light instantly ignited on his right hand, from which a crimson greatsword condensed.

"You like to launch sneak attacks, huh? Then I'll take care of you first!"

Upon hearing this, Bai E, not to be outdone, grasped Qin Chen in his hand. In an instant, the blazing white light on the sword suddenly burst forth, like a scorching sun tearing through the night.

"Let's go together, comrades!"

Bai E's gaze sharpened, his eyes becoming as sharp as swords, and he uttered a low shout: "I'm just about to wash away my previous defeat!"

Upon hearing this, the others also drew their weapons, their boundless fighting spirit aimed directly at the Titan in the sky ahead.

The final battle against the Titans is about to erupt here!

......

Meanwhile, in the ancient city of Stikosia.

"Meow! Is this ever going to end?!"

Sai Feier raised her hands high and stretched out a big yawn.

Her tail was wagging behind her, showing her current mood of both frustration and helplessness.

"Sigh, if I had known it would be this tiring... this cat-like job, I wouldn't have taken the tailor job."

To evade the Purifiers' pursuit, Saifeier had already retreated from near the ancient city gate and moved to the deepest part of the ancient city.

From here, looking up, you can see the tower at the highest point of the ancient city of Stikosia, which was also the place where she bid farewell to Xia Die.

However, even as Sai Fei'er ventured into the deepest part of the realm of the dead, the Cleansers still refused to give up and followed her all the way here.

At this moment, dozens of men dressed in various cleansers' outfits were lying at Sai Fei'er's feet.

"Jewelry... pocket watch... wait? This guy even has a bag of gold coins on him! Not bad, not bad, my little treasure chest is even fuller now."

After complaining, Saifeier immediately squatted down and began searching the cleaning staff for their belongings.

Judging from her skillful and precise movements as she searched through each pocket, she had probably already plundered quite a few treasures from these people along the way.

As Sai Feier rummaged through the items, she would occasionally let out a smug chuckle, as if she were thoroughly enjoying the joy of finding a treasure.

However, this pleasant time did not last long.

Not far away, a series of rustling footsteps suddenly came, interspersed with several loud shouts: "Quick! That thing is up ahead! Don't let her get away again!"

"Lady Kaines said that in order to restore the Golden Age, we must reclaim the flame of Cephalus!!"

Sai Fei'er's ear tips twitched slightly, and she immediately raised her head alertly. The joy that had been on her face was instantly covered by helplessness.

"Ugh, it's like a persistent ghost."

She sighed softly, slowly stood up, and glanced at the ground where several cleaners who had not yet been completely looted lay.

Although they were reluctant to part with the treasures hidden in their pockets, the pursuers were already closing in.

"Surround her! Don't let her get away again!"

With a loud shout, the leader of the cleansers suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Sai Fei'er.

As soon as the order was given, the pursuing cleansers immediately dispersed to the left and right, quickly forming an encirclement around Sai Feier.

Judging from this formation, there are at least fifty people.

However, even though these well-trained cleaners are agile enough and move extremely quickly.

But compared to a swift and skillful thief, he is still far inferior, not to mention that the thief before him is a demigod of "trickery".

Just as the encirclement was about to be formed.

Ding--!

Saifeier flicked her finger, tossing a black coin into the air.

At this moment, space seemed to stretch, and time seemed to stand still.

While all the cleaners' attention was drawn to the coin in the air, Sai Fei'er's figure had already disappeared before their eyes, leaving only a faint afterimage.

Throughout the entire space, only her mocking voice echoed: "Want the spark? Then come find me on the tower!"

Upon seeing this, the cleaners instantly erupted in chaos, and the leader of the cleaners was so angry that veins bulged on his forehead.

He immediately shouted the order, his voice booming through the air: "Chase! All of you, chase after them! You must retrieve the fire!"

At the command, the cleaners immediately set off, swarming towards the tower in a mighty procession.
