Everything happened far too suddenly, and no one had been mentally prepared for it.
First came the clothes-exploding spectacle, then the headshot, and finally the corpse being hung from a tree for everyone to see…
No one could have imagined that the Grand Magistrate of Janusopolis would meet such an end.
Hummm~~~ At that moment, a humming sound came from deep within the Hall of the Threefold Fate.
Then came several soft female whispers.
The voice was indistinct, the words vague, and no one could understand what was being said.
But every citizen of Janusopolis knew that it was the voice of the Titan of the Pathway.
It was Yanis delivering a divine revelation!
Among the Three Fates Titans, Yanis was the deity most revered by the people.
Compared with the intangible Talanton and the silent Oronix, Yanis was more willing to guide mortals and help them find their way.
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
One after another, the people who had been standing dropped to their knees.
Yet they raised their heads and looked toward Mortis, who was still in Lucian’s arms, waiting for her to interpret the divine revelation and tell everyone the truth.
After all, only the Saint who delivers divine revelations could understand the Titans’ words.
Mortis closed her eyes and listened attentively to the words of the Titan of the Pathway.
「.」 Lucian couldn’t help frowning.
All he heard was a string of incomprehensible babbling.
He couldn’t understand the content at all.
Mortis said, “O revered Yanis, I have a question for you.
Is Tribios safe?” 「*.」 Hearing Tribios’s name, Lucian couldn’t help asking anxiously: “How is she?
Is your daughter all right?” If something happened to the protagonist of the script, things would become troublesome.
Mortis kept her eyes closed and gently shook her head.
“Yanis says that she is very safe.
I don’t need to worry.” The words of the Titan of the Pathway had to be true.
Mortis had never doubted them, so the worry that had been hanging over her heart finally disappeared.
「****.」 The Titan’s voice began babbling again.
“What did Yanis say this time?” Lucian lowered his head and looked at the beautiful woman with her eyes closed in his arms, asking softly.
Only after the Titan had finished speaking did Mortis open her beautiful eyes and meet Lucian’s gaze.
“He said that he wants you to stay.
Stay in Janusopolis…
and stay by his side.” As she said this, Mortis’s eyes were firm and unwavering.
She was clearly not lying.
“Is the information density of a Titan’s language really that high?” Lucian couldn’t help complaining.
Yet in his heart, he was thinking about something else.
The Titan of the Pathway really could guide people toward the correct path.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have trusted this outsider so easily.
Moreover, Lucian was confident that he could change Tribios’s tragic fate.
For example, the former Saint beside him had also escaped the fate of death.
Mortis suddenly realized something and asked: “Weren’t you Yanis’s divine envoy?
Why can’t you understand his language?” “I’m not an envoy of the Titans.
I’m an Emanator of a Star God.
I come from…
beyond this world.” “A Star God?
An Emanator?
Beyond this world?” Mortis couldn’t understand, but she was deeply shocked.
Her entire worldview had been shaken.
After all, the sky had been sealed by the Titans.
No one could leave, nor could anyone enter.
So how had Lucian appeared here?
Before she could continue asking, the believers below could no longer wait.
They shouted loudly: “Lady Saint!
Please deliver the divine revelation to us!” Only the Saint could understand the Titans’ divine revelations.
In the past, the Saint would listen to the prophecies and relay them to the Grand Magistrate, who would then announce the divine revelation.
Today, the Grand Magistrate was dead, so naturally, the believers could only trust the Saint.
Seeing this, Mortis had no choice but to deal with the matter at hand first.
She gently patted Lucian’s chest, signaling for him to descend to the entrance of the Hall of the Threefold Fate.
Holding her in his arms, Lucian walked through the air step by step, passing above the heads of the people with an overwhelming presence.
When his final step landed on the stairs, a patch of green grass unexpectedly sprouted beneath his feet, causing the believers to cry out in astonishment.
When you’re out in the world, you have to provide your own special effects and filters.
“Everyone, I have heard the divine revelation of Yanis: Let the divine envoy remain in Janusopolis, and let the divine envoy guide our path forward!” “The divine envoy mentioned in the revelation is the very person beside me—Lucian!” Mortis solemnly extended her hand toward Lucian in an invitation.
The High Priestess and Saint represented the Titans, as well as the entire city-state.
Seeing this, all the believers shouted: “Please guide Janusopolis, Lord Divine Envoy!” “I sincerely hope that you will stay and help me, help all of us…
Will you?” Mortis’s beautiful eyes stared intently at Lucian.
The atmosphere had already been built up to this point.
If Lucian refused, he would almost feel sorry for the natives’ enthusiasm.
Besides, he had originally intended to stay here and find Tribios to complete the script.
Having a high-ranking identity would make things much more convenient.
“Fine.” He extended his hand and placed it in Mortis’s palm.
It gave him the strange feeling of being publicly proposed to.
That left him with an indescribable sense of awkwardness.
Hearing his answer, Mortis smiled, firmly grasped Lucian’s hand, and then announced to the believers: “The divine envoy has accepted us!” “May Yanis reveal to you and me…
the path that lies ahead in this world!” The believers cheered joyfully, as though they had obtained some priceless treasure.
Of course, they were so excited because they all believed Lucian was a divine envoy of the Titans.
Mortis also had no intention of revealing Lucian’s true identity.
Since the Titan of the Pathway had said this, there had to be a reason behind it.
There was no need for her to do anything unnecessary.
After a long period of cheering, the Saint and the priests successfully completed the ceremony, and the entire farce finally came to an end.
The Saint Mortis, who should have died, survived because Lucian intervened.
Instead, the Grand Magistrate had died, and Lucian had even become one of the people in charge of the city.
After all, he had been personally chosen by a Titan.
No one dared oppose him.
With the Grand Magistrate’s death leaving a vacant position of power, many political and religious officials began to stir, hoping to advance their own positions.
Late in the afternoon.
This was the time known in the Amphoreus timekeeping system as “Parting Sorrow,” but because Amphoreus was illuminated by the Dawn Machine, there was never any night.
Even after working hours, the light in the sky was still dazzling.
Mortis arranged a residence for Lucian inside the Hall of the Threefold Fate.
“Your chambers are still being prepared.
Why don’t you rest at my place for now?” Mortis looked at Lucian gently, with a hint of shyness in her eyes.
This was the first time she had ever invited a man home…
Everyone thought she must have had a partner before giving birth to her daughter.
But in reality…
She was still completely chaste to this day.
