'Tribios?'
Upon reading the name, Lucian felt somewhat astonished because it was not someone from Belobog, where he was currently, but, if he remembered correctly, a character from Amphoreus.
Moreover, she was a character from a thousand years before the main story even began—the combination of Tribbie, Trianne, and Trinnon.
'If this were set during the timeline of Amphoreus in the main story, I would know it perfectly... but when it comes to its past timeline, my knowledge is lacking.'
Before transmigrating, Lucian had always enjoyed reading the story of Honkai Star Rail, and he also liked learning about the history in every version, so he knew quite a bit about Amphoreus's history.
However, due to incomplete source material, he did not know every historical detail.
Fortunately, as an Emanator of Abundance, he at least had the ability to protect himself.
As for the conceptual ability he gained called 'Disarm,' being able to remove any equipment from a target did not seem to have much offensive power, and was more of a support type.
'Forget it.'
Lucian always believed there was no such thing as a weak ability.
If something performed poorly, it was the user's fault for being too weak.
He was confident that he could make use of anything, even if it seemed useless.
[Script started, entering...]
As this notification resounded in his mind, everything in Lucian's sight began to change, everything he saw spinning around as he felt as if his whole body were being drawn into an unknown place.
He felt himself rising higher and higher before the ground appeared beneath his feet, drifting with a mystical aura.
Suddenly, all the scenery shrank toward his eyes.
In just a moment of daze, Lucian found himself already standing in a city, with people bustling around and lively voices filling the air.
Everyone's attire was quite unusual, somewhat like the chitons and himations of ancient Greece on Earth, while the surrounding buildings were magnificently exquisite, with a strong sense of religious presence.
Every stone tile seemed to proclaim this place as a holy, religious land.
At a glance, it truly felt as if he had traveled to ancient Greece.
'Right, Tribios was the Holy Maiden of Janusopolis, born in Amphoreus's religious city-state—Janusopolis.'
Lucian quickly sorted out his current situation and checked his own state again.
'Good, the power of Emanator is still here. Seems like I can use it even inside the script.'
Since this script was about Tribios, he naturally needed to seek out that holy maiden.
He just did not know what year it was, or where to find her.
Just as Lucian was about to ask a passerby, two men and a woman walked past him, talking among themselves.
"Hurry up, the holy maiden is going to pray in the Temple of the Three Fates and listen to the prophecy of the Titans."
"Grand Councilor Dannalio will attend this time too, so the Titans must have some big announcement."
"I want to pray as well. I hope the three Fate Titans will answer my prayer."
Leaving these words behind, the three soon walked away.
Lucian, upon hearing their words, froze for a moment.
He felt that the name Dannalio was a bit familiar, but he could not remember clearly, so it must be a minor character. Regardless, since the holy maiden was going to appear, he now had a chance to approach her.
In the end, Lucian followed the three believers toward the so-called Temple of the Three Fates.

Reality, Amphoreus, Eternal Holy City of Okhema.
At this moment, inside the private bath of the Chrysos Heirs known as the Hero's Bath, five people were bathing together.
One of them was a beautiful blonde woman leaning against the side of the bath.
Amidst the mist, droplets slid down her collarbone, reflecting a pearly glow on her flawless skin. Her dazzling curves could easily blind anyone, but sadly, there was no one else here to appreciate them.
On the other side was a lavender-haired girl who submerged herself in the water, leaving only her head exposed.
Between them, three little red-haired girls sat at the edge of the bath, playing with the water with their tiny feet.
"Agy, are you alright? You look really tired."
Tribbie, one of the little red-haired girls, gazed at the blonde beauty with her wide, concerned eyes.
"I'm fine, Teacher..." Aglaea replied with a gentle smile. "I just feel like my humanity is fading more and more."
Everyone could tell, as she said this, that although she smiled, there was no emotion in her eyes. It was not that she was cold by nature, but after being a demigod for so long, her humanity had been worn away.
"No worries! Even if you lose your humanity, Agy, we'll still be by your side!"
Trianne, another little red-haired girl, grinned and splashed her feet in the water.
"Mm, Cas as well. If you have any problems, just come to us."
Trinnon, the last of the three red-haired girls, smiled quietly as she looked at the lavender-haired girl who only showed her head above the water.
"Thank you, Lady Trinnon..." Castorice nodded gently.
Chrysos Heirs.
They were a group of individuals imbued with great power who rose up after the Titans of Amphoreus fell, and five of them were among these individuals.
Having golden blood and sometimes called heroes, some of these individuals, according to the Prophecy of Genesis from the Worldbearing Titan, Kephale, were tasked with seizing the Coreflames from the Titans to uphold the world, becoming demigods.
In order to inherit the Coreflames of the Titans, to resist the black tide, and to protect their world, they spent their entire lives traveling across the land.
In Amphoreus, the Titans were not only the force that held their world together, but also the rules that governed all things—in other words, they were the gods of Amphoreus.
Aglaea was the demigod who inherited the Coreflame of the Romance Titan and was also the leader of the Chrysos Heirs.
Castorice, on the other hand, was still searching for the Death Titan and had been searching for several hundred years.
As for Tribbie, Trianne, and Trinnon, they were the demigods who inherited the Coreflame of the Passage Titan.
In truth, the three of them were originally one being called 'Tribios'—or rather, they were just three out of a thousand who made up the whole.
Tribios had voluntarily split into a thousand 'little Tribios' to obtain demigod power, but over a thousand years, only these three out of the thousand had survived.
"Agy... Cas... We're so sleepy..."
Tribbie suddenly called softly, her eyelids heavy, sounding drained.
"We just saw our mother..."
Trianne suddenly added.
"And Lucian..."
Trinnon's murmur followed.
In the next moment, the three suddenly passed out in the water.
Aglaea and Castorice immediately stood up in alarm, rushing to check on the three little girls, but then something strange happened.
Aglaea reached out to touch Tribbie, but her hand passed right through!
She could not touch Tribbie, Trianne, or Trinnon at all.
At this moment, even the leader of the Chrysos Heirs, who had lived for a thousand years and seen everything, was stunned.
"Teachers!"
No matter how Aglaea called out, the three little girls did not respond.
Even her golden threads had lost their connection, as if the three before her were nothing but illusions.
As a demigod, any target bound by her golden threads should always remain within her senses, and no one had ever escaped that, but now, the golden threads around the three little girls had all been severed, which meant a power greater than a demigod had intervened.
Luckily, she could still see their chests rising and falling, proving they were alive.
"Lady Aglaea, are they alright?"
Castorice was also completely at a loss—her eyes could not hide her worry.
"I don't know... but this is extremely strange... I've never seen anything like it..."
After a moment of thought, Aglaea spoke again.
"Cas, stay here and watch over them. I'll seal off the bath and contact Hyacine. For now, we can't let anyone else know about this."
"And I'll also check the last name Teacher mentioned... Lucian."
