I really don't want to be famous, but the collapse is still chasing me

Chapter 526 Farewell to the Hero

Marble Palace, Bathing Beach.

“You’ve come, Medemos… It seems you were ready.”

Aglaia faced the myriad enemies before her and gave them a kind smile.

"Hmm." Wan Di nodded slightly.

“You have helped Ohma through yet another difficult time, and words cannot express my gratitude.”

"Isn't this what you wanted?"

Aglaia sighed. "Not everything went according to plan. In this world, I can only proceed cautiously. Besides... even without your promise to me, you were prepared to give everything, weren't you?"

“During my time in the Holy City, I have been learning from you: how to strategize, lead, and respond to changes… but only recently have I seen your truly compelling qualities.”

"What is it?" Aglaia asked curiously.

"You possess an 'attraction.' People will willingly gather around you, listening to your guidance. They don't want to disappoint you, not out of fear of punishment, but out of a genuine identification with your ideals. That is precisely what the successive tyrants of Suspended Peak City have lacked."

“…” Aglaia was silent for a moment, “I am honored that you would think this way. You have become the most powerful demigod in the world, Medemos. How do you intend to use this power?”

Upon hearing this, Wan Di raised his head and looked through the barrier into the distance, "I will complete the unfinished work of Nicardoli and become the strongest wall of Onfaros to resist the attacks of the Black Tide."

I will buy enough time for the journey to seek the fire, until you lead everyone to the miracle of "creation."

Oh wow, they're prepared to go down in flames.

[I remember once slapping Nicardi across the face by myself, I love it!]

[This is a real man; you really can't criticize him.]

So... what will happen to Bai E? Without a partner like him, I imagine Bai E will be quite lonely, right?

Aglaia chuckled self-deprecatingly: "Onpharos will be reborn, Medemos... but it doesn't have to be you and me who lead people to the end."

Wan Di sneered: "What did you see after you took over Meneta's divine office?"

“…Even after a thousand years, the words of that prophecy remain clear.” Aglaia enunciated each word carefully. “You will take your final bath in warm, radiant gold.”

"...Heh, just as expected, a nonsensical doomsday prophecy." The next moment, Wan Di seemed to realize something and suddenly laughed, "Hahaha..."

"Why are you laughing?"

"I was just thinking that if an ordinary person saw these words, they probably would never go near a bathhouse again in their lifetime."

“But I can’t give up the blissful pleasure of bathing. So, do you see that too, Medemus?”

Wan Di paused, then said, "One day, you will die with a wound in your back."

Aglaia clicked her tongue in amazement: "That's quite a straightforward image."

“But if I were to be terrified by a sudden, out-of-the-way tale, I would never have caught your eye and joined the journey of the fire-chaser.”

“You are right. May a powerful destiny await you, and may we meet again in the promised new world…” Aglaia’s lifeless eyes looked in the direction of Wan Di.

"Goodbye, myriad enemies."

Next, Wan Di bid farewell to the other Golden Clan members.

However, the art styles of Feng Jin, Xia Die, and Hatonus are all quite good.

In his final moments, Wan Di still couldn't forget Bai E, and instructed Hattonus: "But Hattonus, please continue to look after Bai E. I have a feeling that perhaps his fate... is heavier than all of ours combined."

Then came the time to say goodbye to Qiong.

Danheng and Qiong are enjoying the view from the balcony.

Suddenly.

Dan Heng slowly turned around, sensing a different aura.

"...Ten thousand enemies?"

Wan Di smiled slightly, "Strangers... no, pioneers—I am about to depart for Suspended Peak City. If all goes well, we may never meet again. Thank you for everything you have brought to Onpharos."

Danheng nodded politely: "Re-examining the past and striding confidently into the future, I too have experienced such struggles. Although I haven't had the chance to confide in you, we've been through so much together... Wan Di, you are also an ally of 'Pioneering'."

"This is of great significance. I also wish you all the best in your 'exploration'." Wan Di smiled and slowly shifted his gaze to Qiong.

Qiong looked like she hadn't woken up yet, and her eyes were filled with tears.

Wan Di asked, "Heh... what are you thinking? Why don't I guess?"

"Are you going to spout nonsense again, Blazers?"

next second.

Tears welled up in Qiong's eyes. "What will we do without you? Waaaaah!"

Upon seeing this, Wan Di's lips began to twitch uncontrollably.

Seeing that Sora is still in such good spirits, I'm completely relieved.

[laughing to death. 】

[It's so funny it won't kill you.]

[Haha, I've left Wan Di speechless again.]

[Wan Di: You've left me speechless, you know that?]

That sounds like something a master would say.

Faced with such an awkward atmosphere, Dan Heng immediately spoke up to defuse the situation: "If you don't know how to respond, just smile."

"Huh?... Hahahaha..."

"Now that I bear divine authority, I can vaguely sense... your extraordinary importance to the future of Onphalus. This journey may be one of no return. May I entrust my back to you two, and implore you... to continue assisting in the journey of the Fire Chaser?"

Dan Heng nodded solemnly, "...Please rest assured, we will do our best."

"Thank you very much. Goodbye..." Wan Di understood and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute." Qiong stopped joking and took out her camera.

Wan Di was somewhat puzzled: "Hmm?"

"Let's take a photo together, at least to remember the moment."

"Ha... Of course, come on."

[This camera seems to be hinting at something.]

[There must have been foreshadowing, after all, March wasn't there, and this camera was all that was left.]

Is it possible that Onpharos was destroyed, and then the entire Onpharos was restored using photos from the camera?

[That makes sense. 】

Wan Di held the camera and looked at the photos inside.

Dan Heng chimed in, "Feels good. What do you think, Wan Di?"

"Hmm, how should I put it... it's weird? I'm not talking about my photography skills, it's just that I rarely take photos of myself... but, this photo... is really good."

Qiong gave herself a thumbs up: "As expected of me."

Danheng had completely given up on Qiong: "As long as you're satisfied—don't leave any regrets."

Wan Di turned around and walked towards the door, saying softly, "I also wish you no regrets in Onphalos."
