"Why?"
Blocked, Casius couldn't understand. He reached out to grasp the dark dragon snake hissing on his arm, but this creature, covered in venomous spikes, only gently flicked its tongue without harming him in the slightest, because the entity controlling it would not allow it to harm the presence before it.
"Because I look terrible now!"
The mage shrouded in a black robe stepped back, receding completely into the darkness, out of sight, but how could this escape the gaze of those present?
"Terrible?"
Upon hearing the reason for being refused approach, Casius was momentarily stunned, then the man with a firm countenance spoke without thinking,
"I don't care."
"But I do. I've never been this ugly from childhood to now, and I absolutely won't allow you to see me like this."
A grating sound, like metal being scraped, echoed unpleasantly, hard to believe that the one who made the sound was, centuries ago, a magnificent, extraordinarily talented legendary mage.
"No matter what you become, you are my partner, my only wife."
"Don't say these things to me, seeing you come out is satisfaction enough, now, you leave me."
Selena stubbornly refused Casius's approach, no matter how the man assured her, she wouldn't relent even slightly, absolutely unwilling to show herself at this moment before her partner.
Even though she knew her partner, even if he saw her current appearance, wouldn't mind in the least and would still be willing to embrace and kiss her, she refused to appear in such a state before the man she loved most.
"Aunt!"
Seeing his foster father Noah unable to gain entry regardless of what was said, he finally couldn't bear it any longer and chose to speak, only to have this legendary mage equally mercilessly reject Noah after he spoke,
"You walk away too, Noah, don't think there will be any exceptions here with me, I won't let you see my current appearance either."
"I didn't want to see."
Noah couldn't help but mutter softly, he could slightly understand the humanoid female creatures' obsession and pursuit of their own appearance.
However, foster mother Selena's pursuit wasn't just about appearance, more importantly, she cared about her partner Casius, even if Casius didn't care about such appearances at all.
The saying goes that a woman dresses up for her lover. When alone, the legendary mage Selena didn't care what her appearance became, but when they were together, the legendary mage would pay attention to her appearance and dressing up.
"Noah, I'm very grateful that you saved Casius, but now, the most important thing you should be doing is dragging this guy away from here for me."
Selena ignored Noah's muttering which spread across the entire plane, and even farther into the abyss interface,
"If you still recognize me as your aunt now, then please preserve my last bit of dignity."
"Uncle!"
With the conversation reaching this level, no matter how he assured this foster mother that he didn't mind, wouldn't leave even if she changed completely, it was useless, for she was swimming in self-doubt and dissatisfaction; whatever others said was meaningless.
"I can wait for you!"
Casius no longer continued to entangle himself, instead stepping back half a step.
"Don't you have other things to do? Why insist on staring at me here? You've come out, naturally, I won't mess with this matter here again, hurry up and go away, leave me some space, once I handle everything, I will naturally come to find you."
Upon hearing Casius's words, Selena immediately started to curse.
"Did you see what state my foster mother is in?"
"No worries, the abyss will has not eroded her."
Upon hearing Noah's inquiry, the sacrificial snake immediately answered.
"Uncle, let's first go have a look at the new world of the Augustus family, it's a very beautiful world, you'll surely be interested."
Like a naive lad, nearing maturity, unable to comprehend transformations and only expressing gist, the unsophisticated Casius, upon discovering his partner still refusing his approach despite his assurances, had no choice but to accept Noah's suggestion.
He had seen Selena by now, although her condition wasn't ideal, with the fully grown Noah and friends he knew, what couldn't they solve?
"So it was here!"
The sacrificial snake that had followed along, upon discovering the Titan world Noah spoke of, imbued its abyss-like serpent eyes with an incomprehensible emotion that Noah couldn't quite grasp.
"Aren't you going to take a look inside?"
Noah asked, curious, towards the sacrificial snake that had stopped.
This sacrificial snake, even daring to delve into the filthy deep like the abyss hell to watch, now faced with such a peculiar medium material realm, unexpectedly came to a stop, deciding not to venture further.
"No, I said, things related to Titans are big trouble, I don't want to get involved."
"Is that so!"
Noah seemed to have an epiphany, understanding that the sacrificial snake's avoidance of the Titan-initiated world wasn't just about trouble, but more importantly, there seemed to be a hint of dread.
Crackle!
Golden arcs of electricity flickered on the world membrane, no matter the realm or strength, far surpassing the critical point of the material world, Casius.
