[HSRGSS] Chapter 62: Two Death Titans
🕑 Added 2025-07-25 01:59:50 +0000 UTC"Did... I revive like this?"
Polyxia, still sitting on the ground since her legs were unable to move, asked Lucian in surprise when she saw her mummified sister.
"Yup, even after being dead for over a thousand years, as long as there's a corpse left, I can always bring someone back to life." Lucian replied casually, then reached out and pinched Polyxia's calf. "By the way, these legs of yours—even after turning into a Titan, you can't heal them?"
He knew that Polyxia had been disabled before she became a Titan, but logically, after becoming a Titan, which was no different than a god in Amphoreus, minor problems like this should have been ignored, right?
"Death Titan doesn't have the power of healing, so I can't heal myself either." Polyxia shook her head. "Only in dragon form can I move around freely."
"Tsk, can't even heal limbs?" Lucian gave her a look of reproach. "Is the power of Death Titan this useless?"
No wonder just a bit of black tide could leave all the Titans of Amphoreus half dead.
"Uhh..."
Polyxia was left speechless by Lucian's words, looking rather awkward since this was the first time she had heard anyone call the Death Titan 'useless.'
"Well, whatever, let me show you the power of Abundance."
Lucian shrugged, then placed both of his hands on Polyxia's legs.
"Remember, you'd better praise the Abundance."
In the next moment, Lucian unleashed the power of Abundance to heal Polyxia's legs.
Fortunately, Polyxia had not received the blessing of Abundance before, so her legs hadn't been permanently fixed by it.
In other words, there was still hope for healing.
Unlike the Denizens of Abundance, who inherited the blessing from their parents the moment they were conceived, if any of them were born with disabilities, their genes were set from the very beginning—unchangeable, incurable.
As a result, the blessing of Abundance became more of a curse than a blessing.
Of course, things were different now since Lucian wielded a conceptual ability like the Godly Bandage, which had to be higher-level than the blessing of Abundance.
Any so-called defect, or even being struck by mara, would be easy for him to fix.
If the Xianzhou natives knew about this, they would probably be begging to be wrapped in Lucian's bandage.
As for Polyxia's legs, there was no need to use the Godly Bandage, since the power of Abundance alone was enough.
Shortly after Lucian's treatment, Polyxia began to feel sensations in her legs.
As she felt his warm hands caressing her calves, his touch wandering along both legs, it felt so comfortable.
In all her life, this was maybe the first time she had felt something like this.
"Ahh~"
Polyxia unconsciously moaned, but she quickly covered her mouth, her face blushing bright red.
"Okay, try standing up?"
Lucian, as if not noticing her moan, gently patted Polyxia's thigh.
Polyxia tried moving her legs, and to her surprise, they really did move.
She slowly stood up, but since she hadn't walked in so long, she instantly lost her balance and fell right into Lucian's arms.
"Don't rush it, missy." Lucian said with a smile. "Get used to it slowly. No need to throw yourself at me so fast."
Polyxia, suddenly teased, was so embarrassed she couldn't even look at him.
After calming herself, she tightly grabbed his arm, trying to get used to her legs again, but just then, the bandage covering Castorice's body unraveled.
Unfortunately, there was none of the 'VIP content' Lucian had imagined this time.
"What are you two doing?"
As soon as Castorice took off the bandage, she instinctively asked when she saw Lucian and her sister hugging so closely.
However, in the next moment, she suddenly lowered her head and pressed her forehead, her face going dazed as if she was lost in thought.
Seeing Castorice's behavior, Lucian narrowed his eyes.
It was just his wild guess, but it seemed like Castorice's memories from her previous life had returned.
"Elder Sister, it's not what you think!"
Polyxia hurried to explain as she broke free from Lucian's embrace and walked over to Castorice, but this time, thanks to her healed legs, she didn't fall—she only walked a little awkwardly.
"Your legs..."
Castorice looked at her sister standing before her in surprise, then at Lucian.
Needless to say, no one but Lucian could have done this.
In her previous life memories, her sister had spent her whole life in a wheelchair, and now, seeing her sister actually walk, she felt nothing but joy and excitement.
She never imagined that the man she met by chance would have such a huge impact on her life.
"Mm, Lucian healed my legs..." Polyxia said emotionally.
Just as these words fell, Castorice suddenly stepped forward and hugged Polyxia.
Now that her previous life memories had returned, Castorice couldn't help but cry as she held her sister.
"Polyxia... I remember now... I remember what happened before my sacrifice..."
Upon hearing this, Polyxia's eyes widened slightly, and soon, a relieved smile appeared on her face.
Now, her sister was truly back—back by her side again!
As the two sisters clung to each other, Lucian, who watched from the side, nodded to himself.
'Godly Bandage can even restore memories, huh? As expected of a conceptual-level ability.'
From his understanding, since Castorice was basically the other half of the Death Titan, with the soul of her previous life, her prime state would be: divine authority complete, soul complete, memory complete, body complete.
In other words, the current Castorice had become a Death Titan, making Amphoreus have two Death Titans.
Realizing this, Lucian felt that things were about to get interesting.
"Elder Sister, why do you have a Coreflame?!"
Polyxia cried out in shock when she sensed a Coreflame of Death inside Castorice—because she herself also carried one, which should've been impossible.
For two Coreflames of Death to exist at the same time… how could Polyxia not be stunned?
Castorice, who hadn't expected this either, quickly checked herself and soon realized that she not only carried a Coreflame of Death but also bore the complete divine authority of the Death Titan.
Realizing her absurd situation, Castorice swiftly turned to Lucian.
"Is this... the little blessing you wanted to give me?"
"More or less." Lucian shrugged with a gentle smile. "Since your power to grant death can't be erased, I'll let you have the power to defy death. Cas, from now on, you're not just the reaper who brings death—you can also save lives."
As soon as she heard this, the walls Castorice had built inside her heart for thousands of years shattered instantly.
In her eyes, Lucian now appeared so grand, like a god bathed in golden light—he was her savior, pitying her tragic fate, coming to her, granting her redemption.
Now, Castorice was certain—Lucian was her salvation.
In that moment, she made her decision: no matter what happened in the future, she would always protect his safety, even at the cost of her life.
"It was because of me that you had to suffer..." Polyxia said, biting her lower lip. "If I hadn't given you half of my divine authority, giving you the 'Hand of Shadow' that was never able to embrace anyone, you wouldn't have had to endure such loneliness. You should have been able to embrace others freely..."
If she hadn't crossed that line, maybe her elder sister would have lived a happier life.
Castorice, instead of being angry, smiled gently and lightly patted Polyxia's head.
"I've never blamed you..." Castorice said softly. "If you hadn't brought me back, I could never have met Lucian, much less hold you again... All of this was destined."
Right after comforting Polyxia, she walked up to Lucian and stopped right in front of him, but then, her eyes darted around, as if she wanted to say something but didn't dare.
Seeing her like this, Lucian was convinced she was still the same Castorice.
Even with her previous life's memory restored, her personality hadn't changed at all—she was still the Castorice he knew.
"Can I... Can I hug you...?"
Castorice finally summoned her courage and timidly asked Lucian.
Even though her eyes held a trace of shyness, they also carried a spark of determination—it was as if she were saying, "I have to hug you no matter what!"
Of course, Lucian, as a normal straight man, wouldn't reject a beautiful woman wanting to throw herself into his arms, so without further ado, he immediately embraced Castorice.
Honestly, now that Castorice had the full divine authority of the Death Titan, her curse of death—no, her power of death—was even stronger than before.
Thankfully, Lucian could still handle it.
Meanwhile, Polyxia, seeing Castorice hug Lucian, gave a gentle smile.
Because she had never truly experienced loneliness—having her sister, her teacher, and her friends before becoming Thanatos, and dying too quickly afterward to ever feel it—she wasn't as desperate as Castorice.
Still, knowing she would have to guard the nether realm from now on, Polyxia figured she might taste loneliness later, so she ultimately stepped up to Lucian and hugged him, just like Castorice.
"You're the only one we sisters can touch, so please, let me feel your warmth too..." Polyxia said softly, closing her eyes as a peaceful smile graced her face.
Lucian, with a beautiful woman in each arm, couldn't help but smile as he felt their softness and warmth.
Experiencing something like this—what man wouldn't be moved?
