Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 296 I know my limits best.

"what!?"

Lin Qiong exclaimed in surprise, his eyes widening in disbelief as he looked at Xia Die.

It was as if I had heard the most absurd story in the world.

"You mean that monster... cough, the Death Titan is your sister?"

He subconsciously followed Xia Die's gaze and looked again at the monster with its head buried in the giant egg, exuding an ominous and deathly aura.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Qiong scanned back and forth between Xia Die and the monster, repeating this action three times.

After a simple comparison of the two, he came to a conclusion—

"This is outrageous!"

Lin Qiong couldn't help but exclaim again, his voice filled with shock.

He raised his hand to rub his temples, trying to process this astonishing information in his mind.

At the same time, it's also because March 7th, the lively and witty one, is no longer by his side.

A strong urge to complain also welled up, taking over Lin Qiong's mouth, causing him to mutter under his breath:

“I’ve seen antimatter legions, dimensional piggy banks, breeding insects, and even Star Gods, but this is the one thing I’ve never seen before.”

Beside her, Xing didn't speak, but it wasn't hard to tell from her slightly parted lips and surprised eyes.

Xia Die's words also stirred up a storm in her heart.

"I'm sorry... I only just remembered this myself, I didn't mean to hide it."

Xia Die spoke slowly, a look of guilt and helplessness gradually appearing on her face, as she continued to explain:

"In that memory just now... I saw the 'Death' twins recorded in the oracle."

"And I... was one of them."

She paused for a moment, then slowly lowered her gaze to the ground in front of her.

"The trial of the Death Titans is to take the 'life' of your loved ones."

"And that is why... I should have died in the trial, while my sister would have taken over the full authority and become the Titan of this life."

The atmosphere instantly turned heavy upon hearing this.

Xia Die's calm tone was like a bomb, detonating directly in front of Lin Qiong and Xing, leaving their heads buzzing.

They never imagined that Xia Die could calmly utter such heavy words...

A moment later, Lin Qiong was the first to recover from his shock. He frowned and looked directly at Xia Die, speaking in a heavy voice:

"And...what happened next?"

"Later, in order to reshape my soul, Polycia did not hesitate to exercise the Titan's divine authority at the cost of her own life."

"And after that... she slept forever in the deepest part of the River Styx."

In the silence, Xia Die's gentle voice drifted slowly through the air, each word carrying an unbearable weight.

Upon learning the truth, Lin Qiong's pupils contracted slightly, and he stood frozen in place like a wooden statue, unable to calm down for a long time.

"Die Xiaodie..."

Xing frowned, softly calling Xia Die's name, her eyes filled with indescribable complex emotions.

"What are your plans next?"

"How do we do it?"

Xia Die slowly raised her head, meeting Xing's gaze directly, a resolute look gradually appearing in her eyes.

"I must travel to the deepest part of the River Styx!"

"Only by reaching there can we retrieve the flame of 'death.' And only in that place can I reclaim your right to walk in this world."

As she spoke, Xia Die's gaze swept across Lin Qiong and Xing's faces before settling once more on the twisted monster.

"But now, the divine remains of the Death Titan block the path to the River Styx, so..."

Xia Die's eyes gradually sharpened, and a huge scythe materialized in her hand as she spoke.

"We must 'ask' Him to make way for this passage!"

Seeing that Xia Die had taken out her weapon, Lin Qiong and Xing instantly understood what she meant.

A battle is almost inevitable.

"Do you need any help?"

As soon as Lin Qiong finished speaking, a ball of crimson flame rose from his palm, and then he firmly grasped the Calamity Annihilation in his hand.

Although Xing didn't speak, he silently took out his amber-colored lance, with a blazing flame leaping and flashing on its tip.

"of course."

Xia Die nodded slightly, but then suddenly changed the subject, "However, I urge you two gentlemen to show mercy and try not to take His life."

She knew perfectly well how powerful these two were; if they unleashed their full power without reservation, everything in front of her would be instantly leveled.

This was not the outcome she wanted.

"Don't worry, I'll go very lightly."

Lin Qiong grinned, and the crimson flames burning on the Calamity gradually solidified, emanating an aura that was even more oppressive than usual.

"I know how to keep my distance."

Xing, standing to the side, nodded quickly, and at the same time slightly raised the Flame Spear in her hand, saying to Xia Die:

"I'll try my best to limit that guy's movements, Xia Die, you just go and do what you need to do!"

After confirming the course of action, the three immediately set off, charging straight towards the divine remains!
