Watching movies on Bengbu, you guys are a bit too normal.

"Thieves who steal fire... Do you really think you can intimidate the wise men of the Tree Court with mere bluster?"

"Hehehe... You gloomy little brat, you're really sharp-tongued and cunning!"

A cunning voice suddenly rang out, and Caiuslana and Naksha turned to the throne together, where "Thief Spirit" Bartrus appeared.

"Not bad, not bad, I admire you greatly. As a return favor, I'll feast on this very fire of Sersis right here and now—"

"Don't cry! Hehehehehe—"

Having swallowed the spark of reason from the throne, Barthus immediately began his escape.

Seeing this, Sai Fei'er smiled smugly and retreated.

"Heh, all done... Time to get out of here!"

They always call her Grey or something, she's not handsome at all!

If his true identity were "accidentally" revealed by that Caislan...

"No, it can't be done!"

While the administrator's log entries are unforgiving, they also represent the truth. The weight given to peaceful decision-making has begun to wane, and almost everyone with discerning eyes can see the problem.

He had a deep impression of this particular cycle of reincarnation, which spanned one hundred and thirty-four lifetimes…

Because that was the beginning of his loss of patience and complete numbness.

[Karslana was not at all surprised by this.]

"They're exactly the same, just like many of the people I've known in the past..."

"Both cunning and naive."

"You sound confident?" Na Kexia asked.

"Of course. When I first embarked on my journey to seek the fire, Teacher Tibo just couldn't teach me the Miracles of Oronis..."

"...After traveling all this way, I've finally come to know a little bit about it."

He silently began to perform the miracle of Euronis, and under the power of time, Barthus began to retreat along the trajectory he had flown.

"Where are you going?" Sai Fei asked.

"I...I don't know...?"

Bartlus tried to struggle, but he could not escape and was brought back to the starting point by the power of time.

"Hmph, the stupid inventions of the worship school have finally come in handy."

"Huff... puff... how could this be..." Bartrus gasped for breath, exhausted.

"You've arrived, Zagres, the Titan of Deception... as punctual as ever."

"W-what, you know about me...?"

“My patience is almost exhausted, so I don’t want to waste my breath. Listen carefully, Thief: hand over the fire, and we’ll pretend we never fought. That way, you and this world can be saved.”

"Heh heh heh, that sounds better than a bard's song! Talking about 'salvation'..."

"If you ask me... you yourself are the greatest scourge of Onpharos!"

March 7th didn't know what to say, after all, what Bartrus and the others said was indeed true for them; but for Bai Er, how much pain would those words bring him...

She could understand the pain of both sides, and because of that, she could understand that at this moment, neither of them was at fault.

"That thief spirit is... the Titan of Deception?!"

When Onfaros revealed the true identity of the thief spirit Bartrus in Caislana, countless people were shocked.

According to common understanding, the Titan of "Trickery" had long been killed, and the demigod of "Trickery" who seized the fire was born.

In a corner of Onfaros, Bartrus immediately emitted a sharp, explosive sound.

"No, don't say it!"

He survived only because of a shocking trick, but once the trick is exposed, its power will be lost, and he will...

"How to do how to do!"

Who knew this trick would be exposed to the public so suddenly!

“Bartluth…”

Sai Fei'er, standing to the side, was equally anxious, but she didn't know what to do either.

Just as they were stunned, a dark door opened before them, and the masked Fire Thief walked out from it.

He reached out his hand to Bartrus.

"I'll...keep things in order..."

However, before he could even begin to operate it, he noticed something was different.

Bartluth's presence was incredibly solid, showing no sign of dissipating.

At the same time, a familiar system notification sounded in their minds.

[To protect the privacy of users' information, this system will promptly modify any "adverse effects" caused by the system.]

Upon realizing he wouldn't die anytime soon, Bartrus immediately used a Void Leap to get away from the Firewalker.

"Phew... Thank goodness, I was almost scared to death!"

Caislana fell silent, but the emotions surging beneath that silence were incredibly intense.

Seeing his silence, Bartlus continued:

"No matter how powerful you are, you're still just a mortal! Bearing twelve flames? Don't be ridiculous. You'll only be devoured by the divine fire, dragging this world down with you..."

"...134."

Suddenly, Caiuslana, who had been silent, opened his eyes and uttered a number.

"What……"

Xia immediately realized something.

"This is my 134th reincarnation. The number of sparks I have carried is..."

"...1,596."

Xia answered at that moment.

"……Um."

"More than a thousand sparks, and just one Golden Descendant... How is that possible?!" Bartrus couldn't believe it.

“The fact that I’ve made it all the way here is proof of that.”

“But one day… you will be burned to ashes.” Xia glanced at him and reminded him.

"Of course, the divine fire will one day burn my eyes and blind me..."

"But before that, they can temper 'Dawn'. That way, you won't feel pain when I cut open your stomach."

Caislana's expression and voice suddenly turned utterly cold.

Lord Bai'e would never normally say such things. Has the Fire Seed begun to affect his emotions and humanity since these few cycles of reincarnation?

It was as cold as death.

But only numbness could allow one to endure for so long in the eternal cycle.

"Your actions are correct; this will indeed improve efficiency, and those ignorant Titans should also offer their fire for this."

“But these are not the words you would utter. The spark has begun to burn away your humanity, and sooner or later it will burn your body to ashes.”

"And that day will not be far off; at least compared to all the cycles you have experienced, the time it will take for the fire to burn your body will be much shorter."

He believed that even if, like in "Corona," one killed oneself to replace oneself, it would only be a delaying tactic.

At that moment, Xia looked up, gazing at Caislana in the light screen.

A dark door opened beside him, which did not surprise him.

"Now, would you mind taking off your mask and letting me have a good look at you?"

Let him see what 402604020 embers have turned Caislana into.

"You, you..."

“This is an ultimatum,” Caislana warned once again.

"Hehehe... Okay, okay..."

Bartlus had to admit that he had indeed messed up this time.

"Suppose there are one hundred million possibilities for the future of this world. No matter how you look at it, ninety-nine million nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine of them all point to the ending of 'destruction'..."

"Even so, I, this great one, will use my divine power, despised by the world, to make that one in a billion chance possible..."

"...Bartholus!"

Behind her, Sai Feier couldn't help but start to worry.

Bartluth, however, was one of her few... friends.

"Kid... if you've got guts, step over my dead body first...!"

Even the usually jovial Bartrus became serious, adopting a challenging posture as he looked at Caiuslana.

"Hehehe! You little cat-eared thief, run! Go find Aglaia..."

"This brat... is definitely not a threat that the two of us can handle together...!"

The battle was about to begin, but it ended almost instantly, and the outcome was self-evident.

"Ha, how absurd..." That's how Xia looked at the "spark of rationality" floating in front of her.

"In my memory, Zagrez always seems to be repeating his own ending..."

Its departure no longer stirs any emotion within me.

"To vindicate Lord Zagres!"

"The black tide was not brought by the three Titans of Calamity; let's vindicate the three Titans!"

On the screen, comments about Onpharos kept flying by.

The Deceit Titan, one of the three Cataclysmic Titans, fought countless times for Onpharos, yet it bears such a bad reputation, which is truly undeserved.

It's a really strange feeling to watch Bartlus get killed with my own eyes.

"This spark of 'rationality' before us is a fake, it's obvious at a glance," Xia asserted at that moment.

“Ah…I know.” Caislana regained her composure.

“I knew it would always be like this. Under the cover of the thief spirit, the demigod of ‘trickery’ will escape with the two sparks…”

A faint panting sound arose, and the cat, which should have left, stepped forward again.

"...Then, out of resentment or hatred, they stood before me again."

"Like countless others I've known in the past... both cunning and naive."

“Since the same scenario has played out countless times in your eyes, tell me…” Sai Fei’er looked at him and said slowly.

"Next... will you pluck the spark of 'treachery' from my heart?"

"...It depends on your attitude. At least so far, in the cycles where you asked that question...the ending hasn't been so cruel."

"Hmph... Well, thank you anyway. But I also believe you won't catch up with me this time."

"No one can catch me; I stopped running away a long time ago."

"Believe it or not, I will tell you that this was a wrong decision."

"Okay, let's give it a try—"

Just as the two were about to draw their swords, Xia's voice suddenly rang out.

"--quiet."】

He has done this countless times.

And it wasn't just Sefaria.
