Chapter 773 - Chapter 776: Mem's Survival Strategy

Mem's idea was beautiful, but in Lumina's eyes, it was full of holes.

She found Mem's attempt to nip the problem in the bud quite amusing.

Lumina had countless ways to stop Mem's actions and make her pay an even stronger, more fierce "punishment" than before.

"Mem is right, everything Mem says is right. It was just a simple metaphor, after all."

Fortunately, Lumina wasn't a "Demon Lord" either. Faced with Mem's behavior, she merely smiled and didn't take any further actions.

She temporarily spared Mem's "Pink Puppy life."

"Huu..." Seeing that Lumina didn't do anything else to her, Mem couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She wasn't truly a fool. She knew that if Lumina really wanted to do something to her, even if she reacted in time to nip the problem in the bud, it would still be of no use.

As long as Lumina wanted, she would have to pay the price for her previous words.

Fortunately... Lumina, that bad woman, had actually turned into a good woman this time.

In Mem's mind, her impression of Lumina, that bad woman, suddenly improved a lot.

From super high favorability to super high favorability.

"Sigh... Why did I start referring to myself with this name?"

The crisis was averted, and Mem couldn't help but mutter under her breath.

Mem's mutter was extremely faint, like the buzz of a tiny mosquito. It was impossible to hear clearly without leaning in close.

But for Lumina, this was no problem at all. The Pink Puppy's mutter fell clearly into Lumina's ears, making her already radiant smile grow even deeper.

Looking at the Pink Puppy, she waved her hand and said, "It seems Mem really has the desire to become a Pink Puppy in her heart, doesn't she?"

"I don't have any such idea!" The moment Lumina's voice fell, Mem's rebuttal burst out without a second thought.

"Yes, yes, little Mem... oh no, little Pink Puppy, whatever you say is right." Lumina had a doting smile on her face, just like an elder helplessly accepting a junior's words.

Although Lumina was indeed Mem's elder, saying this was not a problem at all.

"You... forget it." Lumina's tone made Mem feel very unhappy. The Pink Puppy's little face fell, and she wanted to say something to criticize Lumina.

But after thinking about it, she ultimately gave up on the idea of criticizing Lumina.

The strong always criticize the weak. Since when did the weak start criticizing the strong?

Mem understood this simple logic perfectly well.

If she upset Lumina over a completely pointless criticism, wouldn't she be the one to suffer in the end?

Instead of getting caught up in a series of chain reactions, it was better to endure it for a moment.

Enduring for a moment brings calm, and taking a step back opens up the vast sea and sky.

This was Mem's way of survival!

Meanwhile, Lumina watched Mem start to say something, only to force the words back down at the last moment. She couldn't help but think more highly of her.

The Pink Puppy has become smarter.

A bit of a shame.

Lumina felt a twinge of regret that Mem hadn't criticized her.

Shaking her head, Lumina stopped looking at Mem and turned her gaze to Hyacine, who was currently in conversation with Lunabis and the others.

With Lumina and Mem's interactions as a backdrop, the group's conversation had proceeded very smoothly.

It just happened to reach its conclusion at the exact moment Lumina looked over at them.

"...Confident and sharp. I can actually see a hint of her shadow in you," Solabis couldn't help but comment, looking at the confident and bright Hyacine before him.

Hearing this, the confidence on Hyacine's delicate face grew even stronger.

To be recognized by a senior was undoubtedly like a shot of adrenaline for Hyacine.

"Huh?"

Just then, everyone felt the sensation of being watched.

Their bodies instinctively turned toward a certain direction.

That unnerving eye appeared within the blazing radiance, staring at them.

The next second after their gazes met, the eye streaked through the blazing radiance with a hint of fire and instantly vanished from their sight.

"Aquila's mark... It flew away?"

"Did it sense something?" Stelle asked in confusion.

"Perhaps it sensed our awakening," Solabis speculated.

Lunabis nodded, agreeing with Solabis's guess: "Perhaps our aura reminded it of that fierce battle from a thousand years ago."

As beings who had directly faced the Sky Titan, Solabis and Lunabis's auras might have put it on alert.

"I see..." Hyacine murmured softly.

A battle that could make even a Titan wary... it was hard to imagine just how fierce it must have been.

And precisely because of this, Hyacine's awe for the heroes grew even deeper.

They were all heroes, heroes who had dedicated their entire lives to the Flame-Chasing Journey.

Solabis withdrew his gaze and nodded to Hyacine and Phainon before him. "Follow me, let the God Hunter be rebooted."

"Hyacinthia, and the warriors."

After saying this, Solabis's gaze fell upon Lumina and Herta.

Within the eyes formed from the blue phantom, there was a hint of imperceptible contemplation and confusion.

Even though the two of them did not reveal any aura, nor did they give Solabis a sense of danger, the temperament they carried made Solabis feel a sense of nobility and heart-palpitating awe.

They must be strong, the kind of strong that was truly formidable.

This was a level of strength that even a hundred Sky Titans could not compare to...

At the same time, this feeling also made Solabis feel very puzzled.

Why would such powerful beings appear here?

Were there still such powerful beings on Amphoreus?

Where did they come from?

Could it be...?

Solabis had a guess in his heart, stealing a few glances at her, but on the surface, he did not say it out loud.

"Your guess is correct. We come from the Outer World, arriving in Amphoreus for an unforgettable journey."

Solabis did not speak, but the emotions reflected in his eyes were naturally seen by Lumina.

Regarding his guess, Lumina did not hide it either, speaking directly, allowing the guess in his heart to be verified.

"...Welcome to Amphoreus, Miss." Upon hearing this, Solabis first fell silent for a moment, then respectfully said a sentence.

Although the timing of Lumina and the others' arrival in Amphoreus was not very good, the etiquette that should be had to be there.

No matter what, since Lumina and Herta were standing beside Hyacine at this time, there must be no problem.

Since this was the case, Solabis only needed to say a simple word, and would not have to consider the matter of these two visitors from the Outer World, Lumina and Herta, anymore.

Lumina smiled and nodded gently in response, then did not say anything more.

"Miss Lunabis, won't you come with us?" After Lumina and Solabis's conversation ended, Hyacine's gaze fell on Lunabis, and she asked in confusion.

Just now, Solabis said "Follow me," not "Follow us."

Although it seemed like she was nitpicking over words, seeing Lunabis make no move to follow suggested that Hyacine's intuition was correct.

Looking at the petite, strawberry-cake-like Hyacine, Lunabis showed the doting affection of an elder toward a junior: "I will wait for you at the next stop, little Hyacine."

"I see." Hearing this, Hyacine nodded and said no more.

Gazing at Lunabis's spectral form, a momentary flash of worry crossed Hyacine's brow.

Even knowing that Lunabis and Solabis were figures from a long-forgotten era, seeing their current spectral state still filled Hyacine's heart with a surge of concern.

But soon, this worry vanished.

Because Hyacine knew that the most important thing right now was the Sky Titan.

As long as they defeated the Sky Titan and obtained the Coreflame of the Sky, it would be the greatest help to Lunabis and Solabis.

After a final glance at Lunabis, the group followed Solabis and continued forward.

Passing through a doorway, they saw an unsettling eye within the blazing radiance. The group merely glanced at it and said nothing.

But Lumina was thoroughly displeased. With a wave of her hand, the eye instantly vanished.

Look all you want, what are you looking at? Never seen a beautiful girl before?

Lumina detested the feeling of being watched.

Of course, unless the one watching her was a super beautiful girl...

"Hmm... No reaction. Do we need to find a way to force Aquila out?" Watching the eye Lumina had casually erased, Hyacine waited for a moment. When nothing happened, she began to consider a solution.

If things continued like this, if Aquila refused to appear, it would be very troublesome...

Hearing this, Lumina briefly observed the surroundings, gazing at the blazing radiance in the sky. After a moment's thought, she pointed to an Celestial Globe nearby and suggested, "Where there is day, there must be night. How about we try changing the current weather to nighttime?"

Lumina could have simply forced Aquila out, but seeing the emotions radiating from Hyacine and Solabis, she abandoned the idea.

This was their lifelong wish as Descendants of the Sky. If Lumina intervened, Hyacine would miss out on learning many things. Therefore, she decided to let her experience the journey in full.

After all, it wasn't too much trouble; they just needed to keep moving forward, which wouldn't waste much time.

Hyacine nodded in agreement. "Mhm, Lumie is right."

With that, the group began a series of puzzles as they made their way toward the Celestial Globe.
