0-1: THE DEPARTURE OF OF A DELIVERER
Phainon: "It's not an everyday thing that you get to feel yourself being absorbed and feed into the flames they say. I'd say the feelings aren't that special compared to being gazed down by two Aeons and got saved by one of them. Especially after me screaming at the tops of my lungs about wanting to kill THEM"
Nanook gaze are unrelenting and never leaving unlike all the fleeting gaze from other Aeons in the past, THEIR presence is quickly noticed by both Lygus and the Scepter, causing confusions and surprise in Lygus as this has completely flip his knowledge about aeons
Lygus: "THEY gazed here at this moment ?! THEIR gaze are focusing here nonstop-!"
Irontomb?: "Warning, Warning. Aeon of Destruction presence has been detected. THEY are taking away the Electrical Signal Sequence NeiKos469. Administrator permission has been given to THEM forcefully. ESS NeiKos469 has been extracted successfully. Warning, Missing one of the 12 Primum Mobile: Hatred, progress has been delayed indefinitely."
Lygus: "NANOOK-!!! DON'T YOU WANT TO DESTROY ERUDITION ?!"
This feeble scream has gone unnoticed just like every billions upon billions of THEIR victims. Nanook quickly arrived at the center of the universe with Phainon barely understanding anything and heavily wounded
???: "Oh...? Fancy seeing you here Nanook. Paying your ###### a visit all of the sudden ?"
The Aeon of three paths laid bare lazily there, THEIR massive galaxies sized boobs jiggle from gravity out of nowhere in space.
Phainon avert his gaze up, not wanting to enjoy such tantalizing sight, that would be rude now won't it ? This soon freak him out as this Aeons doesn't have a face. THEIR face are covered by a massive (quasi) black hole and a massive singular vertical eye on the blace hole is starting straight at Phainon. THEIR gaze are suffocating as Phainon slowly getting a real body from THEIR gaze.
???: So he's the one that you chose to be your... Deliverer ? Bearing the weight of killing you after the cleansing is done ? Interesting, no wonder you're willing to sacrifice the progress of Irontomb for him. Alright, I'll help you sending him to a distant world, far enough for you to finish your work before he returns. Hope you don't mind me throwing in a few gifts for him as a fee
Nanook: ######, I know you have a thing with penis, can we just get this over with ?
???: Finally speaking now huh ? Aight. Off you go now Phainon of Aedes Elysiae. May Propagation and Nihility be on your side. Oh wait~ I already am~
Phainon: WAIT--!
Without another word, Phainon was pushed away as space begins to distorted around him, he feels like an unknown sources of gravity pulling on him, frequencies starting to appeard and dance around him. Phainon also starting to feel his pants crotch like they're about to burst from sudden tightness like it suddenly lost all of its space to be comfortable before... Splash.
Phainon: ??! (Water?! Gotta swim towards the light--!)
Phainon gasp for air as he comes out of the water... Only to see that he's upside down in the sky which is the Etheric sea and there's a city not far below
Phainon: *fall out from the sky as I flipped into position before summoning my wings and fly down onto an opening on a mountain nearby and make my wings dissolves under my command after landing safely. I then start looking around the barren ancient structures and seeing a massive stone dragon and the shimmering energy around weird black spiky rock things that are all over this area and the cave behind me* "What the..."
Phainon: "Where in the Titans authority am I currently in ?!"
××××××
Back in the cave, Chixia and Yangyang are accompanying Rover, a girl they found in an opening area leading to the Memento Square, having only awaken not long ago, drenched and have no recollection of herself
Chixia: "Man... Never thought that our patrol would end up like this. This is so thrilling. I hope I get to hear about your story after you regain your memory Rover"
Yangyang: "Chixia, don't pressure her too much. We'll escort her to Baizhi and then whether her memories gradually returning to her or not, it's still her privacy"
Chixia: "Boring... Hey we're at Memento Square now... Who's that standing over there ?"
Yangyang: "I don't know... Let's go ask him and tells him that this area is dangerous and off limits"
Chixia: "You kidding ? He looks like he's twice the size of General Jiyan and that pauldron on his shoulder means that he's not civilian at least"
Yangyang: "We still have to ask him. Rules are rules"
Chixia: "fine fine..."
××××××
Chixia: "Hey there~!"
Phainon: *jolts and turn back immediately* "Who are you three ?"
Chixia: "Look at that reaction time and speed. You owe me 10 shell"
Yangyang: "...Hi there. I'm Yangyang, you can call her Chixia and this is..."
Rover: "Rover is fine"
Yangyang: "May I ask you for your name and why you're here......" (Oh wow... He's tall, good looking and also very innocent looking too...! His clothes looks like he's not around here... are also kinda drenched and... Oh wow... His pants crotch have the biggest bulge I've ever seen...! Being drenched only made it worse-!!! Judging by it's shape, he's not even hard-- OH WHAT ARE YOU THINKING YANGYANG!!! BE PROFESSIONAL) *starts blushing like crazy*
Phainon: "I am Phainon of Aedes Elysiae. Can any of you tell me where am I ?"
Chixia: *step forward casually with both my hands behind my head* "Ummm... We're currently on the Memento Square in the outskirt of Jinzhou city, Huanglong. Your clothes and armor suggest that you're not around here correct ?" (He's handsome... And hung like a horse to be the least~)
Phainon: "Yes, I'm not from around here... I just got here out from... Up there" *points up*
Chixia: "From the Etheric sea ? That's a long way down if you ask me- LOOK OUT !"
Tacet Discords has somehow materialize behind Phainon and was about to surprise attack him before... They was cut in half by a shadow clone of Phainon himself. The clone fades away as soon as the enemies has completely fallen
Chixia: "... Nevermind then"
Phainon: "No no, thank you for warning me ^^~" *Smiles innocently*
Chixia: (So strong yet so cute and fluffy looking~)
Rover: (He kinda looks like a really strong, cute and... Handsome. Reminds me of a Golden retriever or a very very fluffy dog)
Yangyang: *quickly snaps out from the trance from staring at Phainon bulge, I quickly warn them* "We better hurry up! The wind warned me that a Tacet Field is forming"
Phainon: "What's this Tacet Discords and Tacet Field ?"
Chixia: "That means it's probably gonna get dangerous here soon"
××××××
The group have been running from the Memento Square to an exit point which is a cliff nearby as they clear out the Tacet Discords blocking their way, Phainon cuts down several ones with a wide arc blade swing and open up a path
Phainon: "This way!"
The three other girls make a run for it and jump off the cliff, summoning their groud to glide down below while Phainon look at awe but didn't question more and jump off the cliff after them
Chixia: "WAIT! I DON'T THINK I'VE SEEN PHAINON GROUD ON HIM!"
Rover and Yangyang: "WHAT?!"
Just as the three turn back and sees Phainon jumps off, their fear quickly turns into comple awe as Phainon summons his wings and flies pass them.
Phainon: "Sees you three down below~"
Little did he know, this seemingly... Cute act, captured all of their hearts completely because of how his act seemingly can be so cute, so cool and also showing capable he is while also showing that he has no hesitation to protect other people even if they're strangers.
××××××
After regrouping with Phainon, Yangyang is constantly fixing her hair while Rover and Chixia are trying to avert their eyes. All of them are blushing really hard
Phainon: "You girls okay? Not any scratches ?"
Yangyang: "Y-Yea! So far so good" *Blushiing like crazy*
Phainon: "Wow, you three are all red, that must be quite a work out huh ?"
Chixia: "N-No! We're used to fighting the Discords. It's just-!"
Phainon: "It's alright~ Just stick close so I can cover for you all if you need to catch a break- What was that ?"
Yangyang: "What's what ?"
Phainon can't exactly tell what this feeling is but he knows something is coming. Something like that disgusting black tide that he had to fight back so many times. It doesn't reminds him of any good memories and this made Phainon to be on high alert and already have his great sword out before... A nonstop beeping noise comes from all the of the girls groud as the frequency in the area starting to get twisted
Chixia: "Crap! We landed on a newly formed Tacet Field !"
Before Yangyang and Chixia could react, Phainon had already rush over and block Crownless punch just as Rover turn around, sword ready in hand
Rover: -!? (What in the reaction time is that ?!)
Phainon pushes Crownless away while also take a stance, ready for battle. Crownless of course doesn't let they catch much of a break and dash in for another punch only to be caught in Phainon wide arc slash, pushing Crownless away from his new companions.
Phainon: -! (He's tough!)
Crownless of course is no fool when noticing that such close combat and slow mobility wouldn't get it anywhere. So it quickly summons his spear and spread his wings before walking to the side slowly, aura farming and looking for a opening to strike
Yangyang: "Be careful! It's a Tacet Frequency that failed to become a Threnodian !"
Phainon: (... I'll just pretend that I understand it. It probably means that it's dangerous)
Phainon quickly deflect Crownless attack and slash at it the moment it decided to dash in. This further more angers it somehow if it even have emotions as Crownless flies up, wings spread wide before sending out multiple tornadoes that it created by controlling the frequencies, hoping that this will force Phainon to protect his companion and take the hit.
+ENRAGED
Before Rover manages to get Yangyang and Chixia out of the tornado path, a shield had quickly covered them as all the incoming attacks from Crownless were all blocked by Phainon now in his Worldbearing form, protecting everyone. After blocking the final attack, Phainon dealt the final blow. Enlarging how sword out and cleave Crownless in half, leaving behind a massive ravine and Crownless Echo at the start of the ravine that later on was named Deliverer but that's the story for another time in the future.
Phainon: *Enters a new cycle once more as I returns to my normal form and slowly descend* "You guys alright ?"
Yangyang: "Yea..."
Chixia: "WHAT WAS THAT!? THAT WAS SO COOL~!!"
Phainon: "...Eh?"
