Chapter 894: Sacrifice

A hundred thousand thoughts flooded the Violet Prince’s mind, all the same: Humanity forever! For the North! For the East! Cry after cry of devotion, each one small but together a cacophony . It was so intense it gave him pause .

He only managed one attack before Luo Xianni caught up with him .

In the same instant two incandescent beams of light exploded forth . The dazzling beams were birthed from what appeared to be binary stars burning one beside the other . The focused fury of their dual supernovae were focused on the three-headed avatar .

The mad laughter of the Keeper and the Bookworm hung in the air, audible to all . Their dharmas appeared beside them, for in the final moments of their lives as they channeled their vital essence into the attack they broke through to a new level . Like the Pontiff their sacrifice empowered them to be Reflections of Heaven and Earth .

Tears wet the eyes of every member of Skyfire Avenue, Paragon and Division soldier alike . These men were pillars of the Avenue, of the East as a whole . Echoes of their contributions would persist far into humanity’s future – if they had a future .

It was the two of them who first puzzled out the secrets of the exuvium process, using vital crystals to extend life . It was them who pushed the East forward technologically so they would not fall too far behind the North . Now, they used the last light of their lives in a final service to their people .

The splendor of their sacrifice shone all across the universe .

The hydra abomination was shocked by the turn of events . By itself the beast could defend against the blasts, but the will and spirit of these old men surged tenfold . Faced with such conviction, the avatar paused .

Half a moment later the beast was swallowed up by the beams of light . Under the blaze its body was torn apart and put back together half a dozen times .

The Wine Master watched, holding tightly to the Clockmaker’s hand, his face pale . He’d known the Keeper for so long, the old scientist was more senior among the Avenue’s leadership . When the Clairvoyant passed, it should have been the Keeper to take over the duties of chairman . However the Keeper refused, stating only that he didn’t have the time . Thus the responsibility passed onto the Wine Master .

He was selfless . He put the prosperity of Skyfire Avenue and the East as a whole before himself, to the very end!

The Wine Master cast a glance to the Clockmaker at his side . “I’m sorry . ”

She smiled back at him, her free hand fiddling with the small clock she carried with her . She gripped his hand tighter . “What are you saying? You think I’m less dedicated than you?”

He smiled back . “I’ve loved you my whole life . It took me an eternity to earn your heart, but it is my greatest achievement . If another life awaits us I will meet it gladly, and I’ll be more brazen the second go-round . ”

As they spoke, looking deeply into one another’s eyes, light began to flicker around them . Flashes of silver radiated from the Wine Master and his scepter . A smear of multicolor light hung over the Clockmaker . She flung her small clock into space where it dissolved into a golden beam, and was caught in the flows of space-time that surrounded them .

The avatar was too strong . Though the scientists’ sacrifice had managed to contain it temporarily they could not destroy it . More power was needed .

When the Wine Master said sorry to his love he’d made up his mind . He was the chairman of Skyfire Avenue’s council, he had a responsibility .

Sacrificing one’s life for humanity was a fine period on the final sentence of his life . His only regret was leaving the wonderful woman by his side . Her calm in the face of the end, her small comforting smile, eased the sorrow in his heart . They were together at the finale of their lives, two hearts beating as one . Together they would deliver a crushing blow on behalf of mankind .



“This sort of thing is the responsibility of us old folk . ” The words were almost lackadaisical, delivered from another figure standing on the Wine Master’s other side . A crystalline vine, pulsing with protogenia .

“You’re a lover of wine, and our legacy has to be passed on . It’s a treasure that belongs to everyone . ” Two streaks of light flit passed the Wine Master, one purple and one red . They raced toward the dual columns of white .

The Gods of Wine, Bize and Aubert .  


“I finally feel like I’m worthy of meeting Henri in the afterlife . I’m a hero, now – he can’t steal you away from me . Hahahaha!” Aubert’s laughter was coarse, making Bize’s cheeks red .

A deep purple light spread forth form Aubert, turning the branches sprouting from him into crystal extensions . A rich scent of wine filled the air . In all his life the Wine Master had never smelled anything so wonderful .

Purple and ring intermingled, and as they drilled into the light they became a magnificent spear .

POP! A sound like a balloon exploding rang out . The whole area seemed to shake as red, white and purple sparkled so brightly it painted the whole galaxy .

Boom--! A ripping explosion followed .

The lights dimmed and a body hung in space . It was the three-headed avatar . The Keeper, Bookworm, and the two Gods of Wine were gone without a trace .



But did their target still live?

Four Paragons gave their lives to destroy a single creature, but it still didn’t seem enough . It spoke to how terrible its power really was .

However their sacrifice wasn’t entirely in vain . The three-headed monster had but one head remaining, two thirds of what had created it were destroyed . Its power was still roughly equivalent to the Infinite, but compared to the near immortal level might it’d commanded before this was a sharp decline . The remains of its battered body continuously leaked a thick purple fluid and branches could be seen embedded in its back . The wounds and branches leached out the lifeblood of the monster, making it weaker .

“Kill it!” The Wine Master shouted . He charged in to put the beast down .

The Pauper was gone, as was the Keeper, the Bookworm, Bize and Aubert . Only six Paragons were left, standing between the enemy and the Banishing Strategy .

The Gourmet, Driver, Wine Master, Clockmaker, Hua Li, and Chu Cheng were all that were left .

They dashed forward, a flood of rage, sadness and determination . Chu Cheng swiped at the avatar with Hade’s Falchion, which glinted with a bitter and forlorn glow . With no time to recover before the Paragons were on it, the beast was cut deep by the weapon .

Orbs of blue and gold erupted from Hua Li’s trident . They surrounded the creature and slowed it down . Primordial lightning, dimensional daggers and weaponized time-element struck all at once .  

Blood shot out like a geyser, but the avatar still stood . Even heavily damaged it contrived to summon what remained of its Domain to block the brunt of the attacks . It knocked the Wine Master away .



Things were looking bad for Luo Xianni . Her powers were suffering after the wound she’d sustained from the Prince . It was only getting easier for her foe to cast off her attacks and turn his focus on his real target .

Every time the Prince repelled her he lashed out at the Banishing Strategy . Each attack destroyed hundreds more mechas and drones . Were it not for Luo Xianni’s persistence he would make quick work of these piddling defenders .  

Yet as their comrades died more mechas and drones surged into the breach to take their place . They were ready for a glorious death, to give themselves for victory . The Banishing Strategy was in the midst of establishing mankind’s last chance . The least they could do – the only thing they could do – was whatever they could to see it succeed .

“Die!” The Violet Prince roared . He sent Luo Xianni flying once again . Her chest was visibly collapsed, her protogenia could no longer protect her . Her camera was damaged beyond repair .

Her expression crestfallen, a bronze light flickered as Jue Di’s former weapon appeared in her grip . She clutched the Compliant Rod desperately .

“Chi Bupang, I’m coming to join you . Don’t forget me . ” She whispered through lungs rapidly filling with blood .

Luo Xianni threw the rod into the air . Then, aiming her camera, she focused on the Prince as he raced toward the Banishing Strategy . As he began to tear through the mechas and drones, she muttered through gritted teeth .  

“Take… advice… from Luo Xianni . A camera… is all you need . ”

She fought to speak the words, each syllable causing her small pink camera to grow more dim and intangible . A fading violet light arose from her concave chest and merged with the fading astrum .
