Chapter 606: How can we trust those heroes?

“Su Yuan, if I’m not mistaken, this should be Tartaglia’s Foul Legacy Armament, right?”

Capitano spoke, then immediately took a few steps back, widening the distance between himself, Su Yuan, and Mavuika…

“The fact that you’re using this power… it truly makes me feel disgusted and filthy!!!”

“I don’t know why you’re able to use Tartaglia’s Foul Legacy Armament, but this power from the Abyss is no blessing—it’s a deadly poison!!!”

At this moment, Su Yuan also looked at Capitano with confusion.

Wasn’t he just borrowing the Foul Legacy Armament a little and using some Abyssal power?

Did it really warrant such an extreme reaction?

Besides, no matter what kind of power it was, there shouldn’t be an inherent distinction between good and evil.

What truly mattered was how the user chose to wield that power…

Those monsters that crawled out of the Abyss, using Abyssal energy to harm the people—of course they were unforgivable.

But if he used this Abyssal power to protect others, wouldn’t that be entirely different?

“Capitano, Tartaglia was taken away by the Sustainer of The Heavenly Principles due to an accident…” Su Yuan began to explain.

“And because of my unique constitution, being able to use Tartaglia’s Foul Legacy Armament isn’t strange at all…”

“Forget the Foul Legacy Armament—even elemental powers of other attributes, I can also use them under certain conditions, just like the Traveler…”

“And also, let me show you something else…”

Su Yuan said as he took out the feather-shaped black stone—his ancient name, engraved with his own identity—and presented it to Capitano:

“Even though this is my first time coming to Natlan, I have already received the recognition of the Great Spirit of the Kingdom of the Night, and I even possess my own ancient name…”

“I wonder if all this is enough to prove my worth?”

Upon seeing Su Yuan’s ancient name, Capitano froze.

He also couldn’t understand how an outsider like Su Yuan, upon just arriving in Natlan, could receive the Great Spirit’s recognition and even obtain an ancient name?

“…Fine, Su Yuan. I acknowledge your worth.”

After a long silence, Capitano finally seemed to reach a decision and spoke slowly:

“The Great Spirit’s judgment is never wrong. Since you have earned her recognition and possess your own ancient name, then I have decided to believe you.”

As Capitano finished speaking, the sharp, intimidating aura around him faded completely.

His Cryo elemental energy no longer surged, and the single-handed Cryo sword in his hand vanished.

He no longer had any intention to fight…

Seeing that Capitano no longer wished to battle, Mavuika also withdrew the blazing ring behind her, her hair gradually returning to normal…

Su Yuan finally let out a sigh of relief.

Great.

The two of them would not be fighting—for now…

“All right, since we’ve finally managed to achieve temporary peace, let’s find a place to sit down and have a proper conversation!” Su Yuan said.

Then, under Mavuika’s lead, everyone arrived at a meeting room inside the Sacred Flame Arena and began their discussion.

“Ahem… Welcome everyone to this debate on how to save Natlan. I am your host, Paimon!”

Paimon, wanting to liven the atmosphere, immediately slipped into her role.

“First of all, we all know that Lady Mavuika intends to find new inheritors for the ancient names of the six past heroes. By borrowing the power of the new generation of six heroes, she hopes to release the power the first Pyro Archon, Xbalanque, obtained from Ronova, the Sovereign of Death—thus resolving the current crisis brought by the Abyss…”

“So before the debate officially begins, I’d like to ask Mr. Capitano—what is the method you propose to save Natlan?”

“Our plan is to use the Secret Source Device, an ancient dragon tool used to strengthen the ley lines, to reconstruct the ley lines.” Capitano replied calmly and truthfully.

“So the Fatui actually intend to use that method?”

Mavuika couldn’t help but immediately retort:

“Reconstruction is not repair—it means demolishing everything and starting over from scratch!!!”

“Furthermore, with the current shifts in Natlan’s ley line structure, the injected power can only be borne by the Builder of the Night Kingdom—the Night God herself!”

“If the burden exceeds her limits and she cannot withstand it, the entire Kingdom of the Night will collapse, and the Ode of Resurrection will no longer be able to protect Natlan’s people!!!”

“Lady Mavuika, please wait a moment!!!” Paimon spoke in a panic, “The other side hasn’t finished speaking yet—you can’t just interrupt!”

“Mavuika, do you think I’m unaware of these things?”

Capitano responded bluntly:

“Everything comes with risk. Before rebirth, there is always destruction…”

“No matter how flawed my plan is, it’s still more reliable than your idea of gathering the heroes of the six tribes, isn’t it?”

“We’re already at a life-or-death moment, yet two of those heroes are still missing…”

“And even if you do manage to gather all six heroes, do you really think they can defeat the threat the Abyss has brought this time???”

“Capitano, why are you suddenly jumping in as well? This is a debate—please follow the debate rules when speaking!!!”

Paimon was speechless and despairing.

Volunteering to be a host… why was it so difficult…

“Paimon, let it go. As long as they can both sit down and talk properly, that’s already a good outcome.”

Su Yuan and Aether also spoke helplessly, signaling for Paimon to stop worrying.

“Even if their exchange has a bit of gunpowder in it, at least they’re communicating, right?”

At that moment, Su Yuan also felt that Capitano seemed to hold a bias against the six heroes—just like how he reacted to the Abyssal power on Su Yuan.

So he asked: “Capitano, why do I feel like you really… don’t trust the six heroes at all?”

Faced with Su Yuan’s question, Capitano slowly lifted his head.

His thoughts seemed to drift back to a distant past as he spoke quietly:

“I don’t know if you’re aware, but originally, I came from Khaenri’ah…”

“When the Black King brought forth the calamity that shook the foundations of the world, Khaenri’ah also chose six heroes…”

“But what happened afterward? Under the influence of the Abyss, five of the six betrayed us and divided among themselves a power capable of shaking the world…”

“And later, when the Khaenri’ah Cataclysm happened five hundred years ago—when the nation fell—those who possessed power never once showed themselves. They watched, with their own eyes, as their homeland was destroyed…”

“So tell me—how am I supposed to trust heroes like that???”
