join the Church of MissRaven and become a Sequence 9: Reader p atreon.com/KeyofStars for more chapters
The international situation in the Northern and Southern continents has suddenly become perplexing. In theory, the confrontations and conflicts in this world are determined by Beyonder forces, and the opposition of secular forces should not spread worldwide.
However, the current situation is different; secular forces are now dominating the confrontation between the Northern and Southern continents.
So far, only the Church of the Earth Mother has stated that it will protect the Kingdom of Atlantis from invasion.
This means very clearly that if the war spreads to the current territory of the Kingdom of Atlantis, the Church of the Earth Mother will definitely come forward to mediate.
However, they will not interfere with the expansion of the Kingdom of Atlantis, nor will they provide assistance.
The other churches have not yet made any statements. They are not optimistic about the Paz Kingdom and Trunsoest, nor do they believe that the Balam Empire can win the war.
But they also do not strongly support the Kingdom of Atlantis, because the political model of this kingdom will cause the church to lose huge benefits.
Currently, the social model of the Northern Continent is almost based on the "church system." For example, there is a church in a community, and everyone's relationships are established through faith and the church.
This is why many social celebrities attend church receptions because they can expand their network through the church.
As for other ways to expand one's network, there are not many. Clubs generally have obvious professional or regional barriers. First, you need to have a certain network to join a club.
And the "basic network" is easiest to obtain through the church.
Overall, people's social relationships are connected through the church and the church.
However, the model of the Kingdom of Atlantis is different. Its main body is the various levels of government. Basically, the government has clear regulations on all aspects of life, and the church hardly intervenes.
The reason why Hobert attaches so much importance to the training of grassroots officials is that in the Kingdom of Atlantis, village chiefs and community leaders connect people.
During the spring plowing season, the village chief will organize people to help those in need in the village. During the harvest, the village chief will explain how to store grain.
In the city, you can find the community director, also known as the community leader, for problems in life. Some problems are solved in the community, and some problems are subdivided by the community leader and solved by relevant departments.
When villagers and citizens encounter difficulties, they first go to grassroots officials, because if the grassroots cannot solve the problem, there are also town governments, county governments, and even city or state governments, with a large number of administrative resources to help solve the problem.
This is more efficient than the church, so people gradually stop going to the church to solve problems and only go to the church for spiritual comfort.
Secondly, they do not rely on the church economically. In the Northern Continent, the church holds many assets, so it can provide many job opportunities and is an important part of the local economy.
However, the land in the Kingdom of Atlantis is state-owned, and job opportunities are created by various state-owned or private companies. The church does not play much role in the local economy.
Then, the church and the church will inevitably be marginalized. This is the main reason why the church has concerns about the Kingdom of Atlantis. Even the Church of the Earth Mother has some differences with the Kingdom of Atlantis on the issue of the religious court.
So the current situation is roughly like this: if Hobert is in danger, the Earth Mother and the Evernight Goddess will not stand idly by, but if Hobert launches a war of aggression, the church will not oppose it due to the pressure of the gods, but it will not support it either.
This gives the impression that the orthodox church is unwilling to participate in the secular society's struggle for this social model.
Therefore, the confrontation in terms of extraordinary power has basically become the confrontation of Beyonder power between the governments of various countries. The extraordinary power of the church has basically not provided support to any party.
This is actually beneficial to Hobert, because if there were no gods, the church would definitely stand on the side of the Northern Continent. With the gods, the church would choose to help neither side.
Then, for the countries of the Northern Continent, it is very important to protect the Paz Kingdom. This is their bridgehead and the last line of defense to limit the rise of the Kingdom of Atlantis!
Especially after the abdication of King Ferdinand, they couldn't wait any longer and did everything they could to help the Paz Kingdom.
In order to make the aid more efficient, the Loen Kingdom even planned to contribute the technology of the teleportation array, but the embarrassing thing is that they cannot provide teleportation capabilities for the teleportation array.
The teleportation array is divided into two key parts: one is to arrange the array using various diamonds, and the other is to need a force to activate the teleportation array, and this force must have Beyonder abilities in terms of "space."
For example, in the teleportation array of the Kingdom of Atlantis, Hobert used a Beyonder characteristic of "Secrets Sorcerer" as the power base and the power of "Nation of Disorder" as the level to give the teleportation array the ability to teleport.
The reason why Hobert can do this is that the "Lawyer's" ability of "applicability" is very strong, and the level of "Nation of Disorder" is very high, so he can use a characteristic at the "Secrets Sorcerer" level to build a teleportation array.
But the situation is different after the countries of the Northern Continent broke up with the Kingdom of Atlantis. Currently, only the Feysac Empire has an Archangel, and His ability has nothing to do with space ability, so there is no way to provide power for the teleportation array.
Just when the opposition between the Northern and Southern continents was so serious that war could break out at any time, Hobert added fuel to the fire again and set up a "Paz Kingdom Countdown" in the 'Atlantis Daily'!
He believes that this kingdom can only exist for a maximum of 4 months, and starts counting down from this day, with the headline on the front page every day saying: How many days are left until the demise of the Paz Kingdom.
This made the countries of the Northern Continent even more anxious, and the aid to the Paz Kingdom gradually included personnel assistance from the initial supplies.
...
On the Fog Sea.
After entering the sea area without safe lanes, "Queen Mystic" Bernadette seemed to have lost her sense of time. If it weren't for the precise wall clock hanging in her captain's room, she would have forgotten how many days she had been in this dangerous area.
The strong wind and heavy rain made the ship fly high and move sideways, as if experiencing an apocalypse.
Bernadette watched calmly, waiting patiently.
Finally, the storm suddenly subsided, and the outline of an island appeared in the distance.
Although Bernadette could not be sure that this was the primitive island her father had been to, her intuition as a "Clairvoyant" told her that this was likely the place she was looking for.
As the coastline gradually came into view, Bernadette saw one towering, deep green tree after another on the island. The sheer "size" of these trees gave people a huge sense of impact and oppression.
Bernadette stretched out her hand and glanced at the "Crystal of Order" Hobert had given her in her palm.
She took a deep breath and injected spirituality into the "Crystal of Order." Still a little worried, she prayed to the "Creator" before ordering the 'Dawn' to stop in the offshore area and not to go ashore. She carefully entered the spirit world and landed on the edge of the island.
Bernadette did not rush to explore further. She cautiously took out a illusory hat and put it on her head, and her figure disappeared, concealing all traces.
After walking a few steps along a road that was obviously opened up, Hobert, dressed in a knight's uniform, suddenly appeared beside her.
Bernadette was slightly stunned. She could feel that Hobert did not come from the spirit world, it was as if... as if He was already there.
Because this is Hobert's substitute. In order to prevent Roselle from affecting his Beyonder characteristics and uniqueness, Hobert's main body is hiding in the "Nation of Disorder" and only uses the substitute to contact Bernadette.
This is a unique ability of Hobert, because even the "Black Emperor" can only hide more discreetly in the "shadows," and cannot reach the safety of the main body in the "Nation of Disorder."
Hobert looked back and forth, and finally stopped his gaze at Bernadette's position: "Your stealth ability is pretty good."
In addition, He is now a genuine King of Angels. Unless facing the "Mother Goddess of Depravity," he will not be corrupted by the Outer Deities, so he dares to appear here so swaggeringly.
Bernadette was about to say something, but Hobert said first: "Only you can hear my voice and see my existence here."
He said: "Continue to walk forward, I will follow behind you."
While speaking, Hobert's substitute "distorted" his state, changing himself from a state of "existence" to a state of "non-existence."
In Bernadette's view, Hobert suddenly disappeared, and she couldn't feel His existence at all!
And she was very clear that Hobert was actually by her side.
Hobert planned to take a look at the state of this island, so he did not immediately use his ability to find Roselle's mausoleum.
With Hobert covering her back, Bernadette felt a lot more relieved. She took a deep breath and continued to move forward, entering the forest composed of huge trees.
Soon she discovered that it was too quiet here. There was no birdsong, no roars of wild beasts, and even no sound of insects crawling.
According to Bernadette's understanding, there should be many Beyonder creatures that have become extinct outside, and it should be quite lively. But now, she feels like she is walking in a deserted graveyard, and every giant tree is a tombstone.
After walking for a full half an hour, the front suddenly opened up. Bernadette slowed down and stretched out her right hand to press her brow. A pair of eyelash-less, unusually cold transparent eyes appeared in front of her.
Then, this pair of "Eyes of Mystery Prying" was taken by an invisible hand and placed on the face of a transparent person.
This transparent person is Bernadette's "Invisible Servant."
The "Invisible Servant" quickly passed through the open forest in front and arrived at the edge of a large open space, where countless creatures were crawling.
They included red dragons with fire flowing through their skin, tree men with wooden bumps as eyes, eight-legged demon wolves, long-limbed giants, huge feathered serpents with gloomy green scales, and several humans!
At this time, they were all facing one direction, crawling with their upper bodies or heads, seemingly worshiping an unknown existence, and none of them made a sound.
Bernadette adjusted the "Invisible Servant's" gaze to the humans. Her blue pupils dilated slightly, because those people were all wearing luxurious Roselle-era clothing.
Could these be the craftsmen who once built the mausoleum here?
But she immediately denied her idea, because the craftsmen would not dress so gorgeously.
Five people!
Bernadette's spirituality noticed this number, which immediately reminded her of the five knights who initially followed her father.
At this time, those creatures stood up at the same time, and the entire primitive forest seemed to come alive all of a sudden.
Seizing this opportunity, Bernadette saw clearly the appearance of the five people: "Grimm, that's Grimm who died on this island! I've only seen him in the paintings left by my father.
"That's Uncle William. I remember his appearance. He once taught me swordsmanship…
"And Uncle Poli…"
When she recognized the fourth person, Bernadette's face, which rarely showed emotional fluctuations, revealed an undisguisable astonishment.
That person is: Edwards!
In Bernadette's memory, this knight lived until her father's death, and then the whole family moved to Lenburg. He didn't die on this primitive island at all!
According to the information she got from "Vice Admiral Iceberg," Edwards lived to be nearly a hundred years old, passed away very peacefully, and was buried in a cemetery in the suburbs of Lenburg.
Bernadette realized that something was wrong here: Uncle Edwards also returned to this island? Wasn't he not corrupted?
Then she realized: Her father said that he had solved the corruption of this island, but… but why did such a mutation still happen?
Because of Bernadette's contemplation, the "Eyes of Mystery Prying" on the face of the "Invisible Servant" had been staring at the human who was suspected to be Edwards.
Suddenly, the human who was suspected to be Edwards turned his head. His face was old, his hair was all white, and he was looking at the location of the "Invisible Servant" with cold, wooden eyes.
At this moment, Bernadette was about to directly let the "Eyes of Mystery Prying" dissipate and let the "Invisible Servant" return to the spirit world.
Suddenly, the human who was suspected to be Edwards withdrew his rigid gaze.
"It can't find your 'Invisible Servant'." Hobert's voice suddenly came from behind Bernadette: "This 'island' can't find the 'Invisible Servant' either."
Bernadette first breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked: "I know that person. He is my father's subordinate. He was clearly buried in Lenburg, but why is he here?"
As if the surrounding air made Hobert's voice: "He was corrupted, and will return here after death."
Bernadette frowned: "So, my father didn't completely clean up the corruption here?"
"Obviously yes."
Bernadette asked knowingly: "Do you know where this corruption comes from?"
"Yes."
"Where from?"
In the air, Hobert's voice said again: "I can only tell you after you become an angel."
Bernadette nodded. She knew that it was some information that could be affected just by knowing it.
The two stopped talking. After a while, Bernadette carefully manipulated the "Invisible Servant" to enter the open space where the creatures had been worshiping. In the direction they had been worshiping, there was a boulder with a simple shrine made of dark red wood.
The "Invisible Servant" continued to approach cautiously, a move that was actually somewhat dangerous, but the fact that Hobert didn't stop it meant the level of danger was within an acceptable range.
Upon reaching the boulder, the "Invisible Servant" discovered that the shrine was empty, with no idol or emblem composed of symbolic signs.
Bernadette frowned: the creatures of this island seemed to worship something that didn't exist!
Unable to foresee anything from it, she had to withdraw her gaze and direct the "Invisible Servant" to continue exploring forward.
Because the "Invisible Servant" couldn't stray too far from Bernadette, she, wearing the "Invisibility Hat," quietly followed behind, passing at a moderate pace through the area where all the creatures of the island had gathered before.
The "Invisible Servant" ahead re-entered the forest and quickly noticed rows of pale corpses placed among the trees along the roadside.
Some belonged to giant dragons, some came from bird-like creatures, some had eight legs, and some were themselves strange giant trees.
Bernadette felt as if she had come to a graveyard, and the following scene emerged in her mind:
Before their deaths, those Beyonder creatures gave birth to offspring, passing on Beyonder characteristics to them, while they themselves struggled from all directions to this area of the primeval forest, seeking unoccupied places, facing a certain direction, dying quietly, gradually decaying, and eventually turning into white bones.
As a "Clairvoyant," Bernadette fully believed that the scenes that appeared in her mind were real events: what meaning did this place hold for them? Moreover, since the already deceased Grimm, William, and others seemed to still be alive in some state, there was no reason for the extraordinary or mutated creatures that had suffered more corruption to die completely.
Continuing forward, the "Invisible Servant" saw a black stone pillar, as thick as five or six people could embrace, and thirty-four meters high, suddenly appearing in the forest, giving a sense of vicissitude and desolation.
It was as if a prosperous civilization had once appeared here, and then the civilization withered, leaving only this stone pillar and the corpses beside it.
Bernadette used the "Invisible Servant" to carefully observe for a while and was certain that this stone pillar did not possess Beyonder characteristics, nor did it have any mystery; it seemed to be just a casually erected symbol.
The "Invisible Servant" looked around and found that the corpses in the area around this stone pillar were not severely decayed, and still had relatively intact flesh and skin.
Based on everything observed, Bernadette initially suspected that it wasn't that there was no extraordinary power here, but that it could only manifest at specific times.
The "Invisible Servant" searched around for a while and found no other clues. Just as the "Invisible Servant" was about to leave, Bernadette suddenly heard a "rustling" sound.
It sounded like the wind blowing through the leaves, but not a single leaf around was moving.
Instinctively, Bernadette made the "Invisible Servant" turn around and look at the black stone pillar.
She saw that around the stone pillar, the decayed parts of the corpses were falling off piece by piece, and new flesh was rapidly growing out, with intact skin covering the flesh.
This change lasted only a few seconds before stopping, and some of the corpses no longer had any traces of decay, looking as if they had just died.
The next moment, a mutated baboon with curly fur and an eight-legged demonic wolf stood up unsteadily, their fur slightly white, and their eyes very dull and indifferent.
These two creatures, originally dead, each identified a direction and left this graveyard from different places.
Bernadette raised her eyebrows slightly, seemingly understanding why the creatures on this island struggled to come here before they died: around the stone pillar, the end point of death was not connected to eternal slumber, but to a new beginning!
She asked into the air, "Have the underlying rules of the world been distorted and disordered here?"
This seemed to be related to the Beyonder abilities of the "Black Emperor" pathway at a high level.
The "air" was very quiet, and just as Bernadette was wondering if Hobert was still by her side, Hobert's voice finally came: "This is obviously a mutation of a Beyonder power."
He had only just thought of it: the "Mother" and "Moon" pathways both had the authority to mutate creatures.
However, at higher levels, the "Mother's" authority was more inclined to make life wither and grow, while the authority of mutation was basically concentrated in the "Moon" pathway, which could easily mutate life into monsters or "new species."
In theory, these were all related to the authority of the "Mother Goddess of Depravity," and even higher than the authority at the level of gods. She was very likely to also possess the ability to mutate Beyonder abilities.
What was happening here might have been utilizing the characteristic of Roselle building his mausoleum here, but the resurrection of these creatures was clearly different from the resurrection of the "Black Emperor" pathway.
After accommodating the Uniqueness, Hobert could also make people "resurrect," but that was just a "distortion" of the concept of life and death; the "resurrection" process could be completed instantly, but the "person" who came back to life was just a Zombie.
Only the "Black Emperor" himself could completely escape the "rules" of life and death and complete true resurrection.
The resurrection of creatures here, however, was clearly a reversal of the direction of withering and growth for the surrounding creatures.
The authority of the "Mother Goddess of Depravity" occupied the main component in this, and the relevant authority of the "Black Emperor" was more like an "additive," and obviously, some kind of mutation had occurred.
Hobert explained simply to Bernadette: "You can understand the scene before you as 'life is immortal,' rather than resurrection."
At this moment, he truly realized that "immortality" must be the core authority of the "Mother Goddess of Depravity."
Bernadette quickly understood Hobert's meaning, which was to say that the scene before her was "not dead," not "resurrection."
At this time, she sensed that if she continued to let the "Invisible Servant" stay there and experience another "new life tide," it might also mutate and develop some kind of consciousness.
Therefore, Bernadette directed the "Invisible Servant" to quickly leave this "graveyard." After more than ten minutes, she finally heard the occasional chirping of birds and the roars of wild animals, and this place seemed to have turned into a normal forest.
Bernadette breathed a sigh of relief, exhaling a suppressed breath from her chest and abdomen, but soon she and the "Invisible Servant" both stopped.
Because in front of the "Invisible Servant" appeared something that was relatively abrupt in the primeval island environment: a wooden house.
The "Invisible Servant" did not immediately go forward, but observed the wooden house from a distance. It was generally brown-green, no more than two and a half meters high, and seemed to be built for humans.
After observing for a while, the "Invisible Servant" continued to approach.
At this time, the door of the wooden house was open, allowing Bernadette to clearly see the situation inside. There were tables, round chairs, and a bed, and it was clear that someone lived here.
Just as the "Invisible Servant" continued to observe the details there, Hobert beside Bernadette suddenly said, "Sometimes 'complete concealment' is not a good thing. Get ready, I'm going to restore the 'Invisible Servant' to its normal state."
Before Bernadette understood what Hobert meant, she seemed to foresee something and made the "Invisible Servant" turn around. She didn't know when, but there was a person behind the "Invisible Servant."
He had completely white hair and an old appearance. It was Edwards.
At this time, Edwards stared at the "Invisible Servant" and said uncertainly, "Your Highness?"
Bernadette was silent for two seconds and responded through the "Invisible Servant": "Uncle Edwards, why are you here?"
Edwards' face was pale: "I don't know.
"I found myself back on this island when I woke up one time.
"This may be my destiny, the destiny to guard His Majesty."
He paused after each sentence, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time and his speech needed to adapt.
Without waiting for Bernadette to ask, this knight, who was famous more than a hundred years ago, added: "His Majesty's mausoleum is nearby.
"I have been guarding here, waiting for Him to resurrect.
"However, so many years have passed, and the mausoleum has never shown any signs of resurrection."
Bernadette had the "Invisible Servant" look around and then asked, "Is this wooden house where you live?"
"Yes. I built this house with the surrounding trees."
Bernadette asked again, "Are Uncle William and the others not with you?"
Edwards' cold eyes moved slightly: "They have long been polluted and have died.
"The current them, although they have come back to life, are closer to monsters than the original them.
"Your Highness, you must be wary of them and avoid them.
"Except for Benjamin and me, no one else can be trusted."
Hobert, hidden beside Bernadette, watched Edwards with his arms folded: He still retained enough sanity. This was definitely a combination of the "Mother Goddess of Depravity's" ability and the "Black Emperor's" ability! The "Mother Goddess of Depravity's" authority was really interesting. The "Black Emperor's" ability seemed to have gained "new life"!
Bernadette was silent for a while, then asked again, "Where is my father's mausoleum? I want to take a look."
"Okay." After saying that, Edwards led the way, saying, "It's very close. Be careful on the road."
Bernadette agreed and followed behind with the "Invisible Servant" in front and her behind.
She used the "Invisible Servant" to ask, "Uncle Edwards, what were you worshiping in that open space before?"
Edwards did not turn his head: "His Majesty."
Bernadette frowned and continued to ask, "Are Uncle William and the others worshiping him too?"
Edwards' footsteps obviously paused: "No, I don't know what they are worshiping…"
Bernadette realized that asking further might lead to changes, so she didn't continue to ask and silently followed behind Edwards.
Suddenly, the front opened up, and a mountain peak several hundred meters high appeared in front of them, but half of the mountain had been hollowed out. In the belly of the mountain, a black mausoleum stood there, looking very magnificent.
Most of this mausoleum belonged to the mountain itself, and only a small part had traces of artificial construction and polishing. This mountain was the mausoleum itself!
Whether it was the influence of the mausoleum itself or Edwards had cleaned it up, there were no weeds or vines around the artificial buildings.
Bernadette saw that on the huge stone door of the mausoleum were carved the "Civil Code" formulated and promulgated by her father, or the new social customs he created.
Hobert beside her realized: Maybe I should carve the "Atlantis Constitution" on my mausoleum as well.
Edwards in front stopped: "Don't go in.
"It will interrupt the resurrection…"
Bernadette looked at the huge mausoleum for a while before asking Edwards again, "Do you remember the years spent in Lenburg?"
Edwards seemed to be in a state of contemplation: "I remember.
"I seem, seem to be dead…"
His gaze was no longer dull, but full of unbelievable brilliance.
Until this moment, he seemed to realize that he had already died and "come back to life," no different from William, Poli, and Grimm, who needed to be guarded against.
Edwards' face suddenly distorted, and under his skin, pieces of bright red flesh quickly rotted, flowing out a stinky, light yellow liquid.
But in the next second, he suddenly froze. The flesh first stopped rotting, and then the flesh quickly became normal again, even closer to the color of living skin, no longer that pale color.
Two or three seconds later, Edwards seemed to suddenly come back to his senses: "Your Highness, what did you ask me just now?"
His speech was much clearer, and he no longer stuttered so much.
Just as Bernadette was about to say something, Edwards said again: "Yes, Your Highness, I will leave now. You can be quiet here by yourself.
"But be sure to be careful, and don't try to enter the mausoleum."
Bernadette realized that this was Hobert taking action. After Edwards walked away, she whispered, "Thank you."
This was the best way to handle it. Although Edwards' state was obviously not very normal, he would not harm others on this island. If he was not normal, then he was not normal.
Hobert in the "air" realized that after accommodating the Uniqueness, within the barrier of the "Beginning," he could not only defeat the "Uncertain Mist," but also the power projected onto the earth by other Outer Deities was not his opponent at all.
Bernadette looked at the mausoleum in the direction of the mountain again. After looking at it quietly for a while, she said, "I need your help."
"Yes." Hobert's voice came from the air: "What help?"
"I want to make a prophecy, but my power is not enough."
The next second, Hobert said, "Alright, make your prophecy."
Bernadette immediately felt that the spirituality in her body was surging, and her spirit body became stronger than ever before.
When destroying George III's ascension to godhood, Bernadette had experienced the power of the "Knowledge Emperor" level. She immediately felt that her current power had exceeded Sequence 3 and was closer to Sequence 2.
Bernadette took a deep breath to stabilize her mind and looked at the two huge stone doors in the mountain again.
Silently, she "saw" a scene: the magnificent black mausoleum shook obviously, and the heavy, tall stone doors opened.
Then, a dark and huge arm stretched out from the stone door.
The scale of this arm was close to the trees on the island. From the color and state, it was more like a thin layer of shadow filled with flesh, which looked extremely strange.
It supported the ground with its elbow, moving forward with difficulty, as if to drag out the subsequent, more massive, and more terrifying part.
Rumble!
The entire island shook.
Bernadette couldn't hold on any longer, closing her eyes as if suffering some kind of mental trauma.
The next second, all her negative conditions were 'Bestowed' to a large tree in the distance.
Boom~
The several-dozen-meter-tall tree exploded and quickly toppled over.
Hobert's voice echoed in the air: "Just like our 'guess,' your father's resurrection will be a disaster."
Bernadette was silent for a moment before saying, "This might just be some kind of symbolism..."
She didn't continue, because no matter how it was interpreted, it wasn't a good omen: "What solutions do you have?"
"It depends on your father's specific situation," Hobert said. "Our plan is to maintain the status quo if there's no danger.
"If there is danger, we will temporarily seal your father, and after the great 'Creator' and the honorable Mr. Fool further recover their strength, we will rescue him."
To avoid Bernadette misunderstanding and disagreements arising, Hobert spoke his true thoughts.
Bernadette was somewhat puzzled: "Mr. Fool is also concerned about this matter?"
Just then, Bernadette's spirituality sensed something, and she looked up at the sky. She suddenly had an unspeakable feeling, and the entire island also underwent subtle changes.
Hobert also looked at the sky. It was the first time He had truly felt how strong the barrier of the Original Creator was. In outer space, the 'Mother Goddess of Depravity' was trying hard to gaze at this place, but the power that could be projected in was minimal.
The 'Mother Goddess of Depravity' had been operating on this island for a very, very long time to achieve this effect. Without these operations, even the gaze of a Great Old One would only make ordinary people feel uneasy.
In that instant, Bernadette's invisibility disappeared, and her chestnut hair lengthened at a speed visible to the naked eye, quickly reaching her waist from its original shoulder length.
Bernadette was neither surprised nor panicked, but followed the instinct of a 'Clairvoyant' and the experience accumulated over a long time, taking a few steps forward and entering the open area where the 'Black Emperor' mausoleum was located.
At the same time, she sent the 'Invisible Servant' back to the spirit world.
Bernadette's hair stopped growing, but she looked at her abdomen in surprise. She could sense a fetus appearing in her womb.
The fetus was growing rapidly, and it seemed that it would soon mature, sucking dry all the nutrition and spirituality of the mother, and tear out of her abdomen.
Bernadette's spirituality sensed that the fetus's level seemed very high, beyond her ability to handle.
So she asked, "What should I do?"
Hobert observed Bernadette's abdomen and said casually, "I must state that this child is not mine."
Bernadette looked at the direction of the voice with some helplessness.
Hobert smiled and said, "Bear with it, I'll play gynecologist for once."
He first severed the 'connection' between the fetus and the sky and the island, and the fetus's growth stopped immediately.
Then He 'tampered' with the baby's state, changing the baby from the size of a watermelon to the size of a grape.
Bernadette suddenly felt a faint pain in her abdomen, as if she had lost something very important.
Finally, Hobert slowly grabbed with his hand and 'distorted' the fetus from Bernadette's abdomen to the outside, and then quickly burst the grape-sized flesh.
Where the flesh splattered, the stones and soil on the ground quickly mutated, turning into a group of bizarre monster babies. They opened their mouths one by one, but before they could cry, Hobert 'tampered' with their state again, turning them into ordinary stones and ordinary soil.
The problem of the fetus had just been resolved when the entire island shook. Huge trees waved their trunks, pulled out their roots, and were approaching Hobert and Bernadette.
They formed a sky-covering and earth-shattering tide of trees, giving the feeling that every place in the world was about to be covered by forests.
At the same time, the previous dragons, magic wolves, feathered snakes, and other creatures became restless and came towards the mausoleum.
And the mausoleum was also changing little by little, giving the feeling that it was about to 'come alive'.
Hobert said without any urgency or anxiety in his tone, "We were used by the 'Mother Goddess of Depravity' as an opportunity for your father's resurrection."
More precisely, it was because His appearance broke a certain balance, after all, the uniqueness of the 'Black Emperor' was in His body now.
Hobert had also anticipated this, but it didn't matter, because with the blessing of the 'Nation of Disorder,' He wasn't afraid that 'Old Huang' could seize the uniqueness and Beyonder characteristics and be resurrected instantly. On the contrary, He could more clearly observe the extent to which 'Old Huang' was affected by the 'Mother Goddess of Depravity'.
Bernadette recalled the 'prophecy' just now, then she looked at the mausoleum and said with a determined expression, "I want to go in and see."
"Okay," Hobert agreed. The next moment, the two had already appeared in the dark mausoleum. This place seemed unaffected, without shaking, and without hearing the sounds of all the creatures on the island converging here.
The levels of the two were very high, and they didn't need firelight to see everything inside the mausoleum clearly. It was empty inside, except for the dark walls and the high platform in the center, there was nothing else.
On the high platform, there was a seat that looked like it was for giants. It was cast entirely of black iron, and its surface was engraved with complex and distorted strange patterns.
Hobert thought: This chair doesn't look as exquisite as mine.
Just then, Hobert felt a surging 'vitality' rushing towards them.
With a wave of His hand, the space in front of the two fell into 'chaos,' and this surging 'vitality' rushed to the surrounding walls and the high platform in front of them, eventually turning into nothingness.
Bernadette breathed a sigh of relief. Her spirituality sensed that if Hobert hadn't helped to block the 'vitality' just now, it would have been very dangerous for her.
"We need to get closer to that chair," Hobert said as he stepped onto the steps leading to the top of the high platform. Bernadette immediately followed.
As soon as she stepped onto the high platform, Bernadette immediately felt a breeze blowing behind her neck. This breeze was very cold, causing Bernadette to shiver.
At this time, Bernadette discovered that Hobert was no longer in an 'invisible' state and suddenly appeared in front of her. With a wave of His hand, He grabbed a brass book from somewhere.
Opening the book, a new rule immediately appeared on a new page: This place is the real world, and the power from the cosmos is weakened.
Then a second line of quicksilver-colored text appeared: Hobert Jeffrey is a special existence, and the uniqueness and Beyonder characteristics in His body will not be affected by any existence.
There was this 'Law' because Hobert in the 'Nation of Disorder' also felt that the uniqueness and Beyonder characteristics in his body were being attracted by some force.
Hobert raised his hand and once again 'weakened' the power of the gods inside and outside the mausoleum. At this time, a shadow suddenly appeared next to the huge seat.
The shadow first looked at Hobert blankly, then his gaze froze on Bernadette: "Come a little closer, let me see what my little princess looks like now."
