Most people still have great respect for and faith in Kephat.
Möbius's insane idea of dissecting the Titans like lab rats was far too crazy, even in the eyes of the impious Caesar.
Even extremists felt it was too extreme.
Therefore, Cerudela never approved Mebius's application.
Until the eternal night descends, when construction on the Dawn Machines needs to begin, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to openly and legitimately research the Titans, and Möbius certainly won't miss it.
Like the captain who received takeoff orders after being provoked by the Holy Maiden of the Joyful Union Sect, he pounced on her with red eyes.
One of the research conclusions.
Kefal is still alive; he's not quite dead yet.
Although it lies dormant like a stone sculpture.
Not only Cephalus, but all the fallen Titans did not truly perish.
Their life scale far surpasses that of mortals, and death is a long process for them.
As long as the world does not perish, or no new god completely replaces their divine authority, the Titans are in a Schrödinger-like state of death.
If you find the right method, you can lift the coffin lid and take a stroll.
Möbius was filled with a thirst for exploring all life forms that defied convention.
Life is not only about the body, but also about the soul.
What was this experiment that even Vervie called a daring one?
In order to study the soul of Cephalus, Möbius committed suicide.
On a spiritual level, she attempted to use alchemy to dissect and melt the other person's soul, even to devour them.
Onphalus possesses a soul, but this is a data world, and in Möbius's conjecture, the soul is actually [memory].
Möbius's experiment succeeded through a snake's molting and resurrection.
She successfully devoured part of Cephalus's soul, though she failed to gain access to system-level permissions, she did acquire His memories.
"It was a world very similar to today's, filled with memories of many fallen heroes, who seemed to be what the Titans looked like before they became gods."
"The Onpharos Titans did not come into being out of thin air, but are beings that are no different from humans and evolved from them."
This conclusion greatly excited Möbius.
From humans to Titans, it was undoubtedly an evolution of life!
"In the memories that Mebius obtained, those heroes, just like us, went through the fire-chasing process, taking over divine authority one by one, and eventually becoming the gods of the new world... The history of Onphalus seems to be a cycle."
At this point, Vervi's tone became unusually serious.
"Reincarnation?"
Qiong squinted.
I was a little surprised, but not much.
He had similar suspicions long ago, and now it has simply been confirmed.
"A pair of twin sisters passed the trial of the Death Titans. One died, and the other became a Death Titan. The one who died was Xia Die, and the one who became a Death Titan was Xia Die's younger sister, Polycia."
"Twins, Polycia, and the younger sister?"
Upon hearing Vilvie's explanation, Qiong became interested and turned to Xia Die to ask her a question.
Too lazy to attend boring meetings, Möbius froze, engrossed in his research in the lab.
The Devouring Serpent has been summoned.
Personally access and observe the consciousness within the soul.
The soul and consciousness are completely different things. The body is the hardware, the soul is the system, and consciousness is the application software within the system.
Mebius absorbed that portion of the memory and stored it in the Soul Storage of the World-Devouring Serpent, which she can view and access.
"Your Excellency, I have no relevant memory of this."
The butterfly gently shook its head.
"My memories begin in the Aidiria Snowfield; I have no memories of anything before that. Before being taken in by Aidiria, I wandered aimlessly across the wasteland."
She had no idea that she had a blood relative in this world, a younger sister.
"But the name Polycia feels very familiar to me, yet I can't quite place it."
Xia Die gently touched her chest with one hand, her heart beating with an unprecedented rhythm.
For the first time in thousands of years, she learned about her possible origins.
I'm definitely happy, and a little excited too.
However, he did not experience the emotional ups and downs he had anticipated upon learning his identity.
Although the death curse was somewhat troubling, Xia Die had long since stopped caring about it.
The happiness and warmth you gave her were enough to overwhelm everything, and had long since made Xia Die less attached to her own curse and her origins.
"Polysia is Senatos... Are there any clues about Him?"
Qiong stroked his chin, pondering for a moment.
"have."
Tinning spoke softly.
Before she could explain, Qiong had already browsed through the memories of Mebius devouring Cephalo, and had a clearer and more intuitive understanding of the ins and outs than when Mebius relayed them to everyone else.
He even 'saw' what Polycia looked like.
She was a girl who looked remarkably like Xia Die, sitting in a wheelchair, giving the impression of being sickly and frail.
"Let's go back, back to the jewel in the palm of the ocean god's hand, our homeland."
The voice of Titi overlapped with the ethereal and otherworldly voice of Polycia from the depths of her memory in the mind of the Devouring Serpent.
"A seaside town, a tale of alchemy and dragons, was born here. In our world, there is also a city-state that perfectly matches this description."
Despite losing the game against her teacher, Krystal remained unmoved, picked up a piece, and placed it on the unfolded map.
"Stikocia".
Qiong's gaze fell upon it.
Analyzing Polycia's words from memory, the most likely location for her right now is Stikocia.
"Hey, Stikocia? Didn't we go there together before?"
March 7th felt the name sounded familiar, and after a moment's thought, it came to mind.
For others, it was something that happened two hundred years ago, but for her, who had been sleeping with Qiong for so long, it was only a short time ago.
I went there when I had just caught the Sea Seren.
"Isn't that just a submerged ruin, with nothing left?"
"In March, for magicians, only by finding the most crucial key can one possibly unlock the magician's secrets."
The great magician gained control of the body.
With a small reach, Velvet took a red crystal gem from the Mariana Trench on her chest.
"This is the Philosopher's Stone that Dr. Möbius and I collaborated on. It's closer to the original than the pseudo-Philosopher's Stone used by Twilight Prism, and it might be of some help."
"As expected of you."
Qiong gave a thumbs-up without hesitation, her smile radiant.
"Since the clues from Cenatos point to Stikosia, why not concentrate our efforts on dealing with this matter?"
"Because of time."
The gentle smile that usually graced Titi's face slowly faded, replaced by a solemn expression.
"Ah Qiong, we don't have much time left."
"Um?"
Qiong raised an eyebrow and accepted the ruby, which still retained a faint milky fragrance and warmth.
Velvi gave the answer:
"Based on my observation, the Dawn Machine can only last for a maximum of 100 years. After 100 years, it will shut down. Without this convenient energy source, it will probably no longer be able to illuminate the entire continent."

Dolores.
"Sefaria, Ms. Pado, what are your ideas on how to track down Zagres?"
"No, I mean, the seamstress."
Sai Fei'er crossed her arms, her eyes twitching slightly.
"You and the Holy Maiden traveled all the way from Ohma to this den of thieves, Dolos, to persuade me to join your Fire Chasing Journey and undergo the Trial of the Deceptive Fire, and I agreed."
"And now you're telling me you don't have a single clue about Zagres?"
Sai Maomao gave her a "you're kidding me" look.
Is this a world-saving hero organization?
How can this be so unreliable?
There's a situation where someone tries to make a play, but they don't have enough money, the actors aren't cast, and there's no script yet.
"Are you trying to trick this little kitten?"
Saifei's suspicious gaze swept back and forth between the elegant blonde beauty and the gentle red-haired girl.
"Of course not, we wouldn't joke about fire chasing."
That being said, Aglaia and Tibo were indeed a little embarrassed.
"The Deceptive Titan, Zagreus, is the most mysterious and enigmatic of all the Titans. He is like an unpredictable wind, appearing and disappearing without a trace. You never know where he is hiding or when he will emerge from the shadows."
A hint of helplessness flashed in Aglaia's lifeless eyes. She helped Teacher Titi search through the entire library, but couldn't find any valuable information.
"There is so little information about Him. Even though the Imperial Intelligence Department searched every single bookshelf in Ohm and every hidden rumor, they could only glean fragmented pieces of information."
Some say He once impersonated the romantic Titan to receive worship; others say His cackling laughter echoed in every moment his deception succeeded. To this day, we still cannot see through the true face of this Titan.
"So, Little Fei'er."
Tibo's eyes were filled with expectation and trust.
"That's why we came to Dolores specifically to seek your help!"
"Oh? You're seeking our help?"
Saifei almost choked on the apple; she put down the half-eaten fruit.
A pair of long, shapely legs were draped over the table. Leaning back, she pressed the chair so low that only the back legs touched the ground, making it wobble precariously. She rolled her eyes in annoyance.
"Sister Tibo, you don't really think that your family, with its vast resources and the entire Caesar Empire's intelligence network, can't find Zagres, but my mother and I can, do you?"
"That's the master of trickery! You think too highly of my daughter and me."
"You're the Cat's Eye sisters, we believe you..."
It wasn't entirely without clues; the Titis took turns making prophecies about Zagres, which all pointed to the thief city of Dolos and the 'Cat's Eye Sisters'.
That's why Tibo came directly to us; perhaps Saifeier and Pado have a way to track down Zagres.
Even if you say that...
Saifei scratched her head.
Aglaia reached out to stop Tibo and said:
"Go ahead and try your best. Whether you succeed or not, Moth Chaser will give you a substantial bonus, and you can also pick out some things you like from my shop."
"...But then another thing happened."
Sai Fei'er sat up straight instantly, her languidness and resistance vanishing as if she had changed her expression.
