Bernadette's PrayerChapter 1058 Bernadette's Prayer

With the help of the flickering gas lamps on the wall, Elaine looked at the prisoners already in the cell.

They were also shackled and restricted in their movements. There were both men and women, of varying ages. Their eyes were either ferocious or listless, not much different from the pirates she had seen on the wanted posters at sea.

Scanning her eyes over the prisoners one by one, Elaine suddenly found that she knew one of them.

It would be better to say that the two had just separated half an hour ago.

"William, why are you locked up?"

Ignoring that the clergyman from the Church of Knowledge who had brought her in was still at the door of the cell, Elaine quickly moved forward and asked in a low voice.

Her boatswain William was wearing the scholar's garb that he had used to disguise himself after entering Lenburg. He was in better spirits than the other prisoners. He stood alone in a dark corner and lowered his voice when he heard this. He replied:

"After Tia and I escaped from the inn using invisibility, we originally planned to rescue you on the way and then escape from Azshara together. However, we were discovered by vigilant clergymen as soon as we returned to the vicinity of the inn. Tia asked me to lead the pursuers away while she prayed to Miss Angelica for help... Then I was captured and sent here."

"Did Tia succeed?"

Elaine asked, glancing at the cell door from the corner of her eye, and found that the clergyman in plain white robes was still at the door, with no intention of leaving.

"She wasn't caught, so it must have been successful..." William replied in an uncertain tone, "How about, Captain, try to pray?"

That would have to wait until late at night, not in front of those official Beyonders... Elaine muttered, shaking her head to indicate that it was not possible now.

Before she could continue to inquire about the condition of William's cell who was locked up earlier, the door behind her was opened again with the harsh friction sound of rusty door hinges, and a new batch of prisoners walked in in a line.

Including this batch, the number of people in the cell has reached double digits, and this is just one of a row of cells. The public security in Lenburg is really too bad... Or are the others also imprisoned for trumped-up charges like me?

Just as Elaine had a question in her mind, she found another familiar figure among these prisoners.

Or rather, half an hour ago...

"Tia? How did you get caught in here too?"

William asked in surprise.

The "joyful" witch Tia, who was wearing the popular floral long skirt and low-cut shirt of Feynaporte, also discovered Elaine and William at the same time. The three of them just stared at each other in the cell, not knowing what to say for a while.

Those who surrendered, those who escaped by stealth, and those who volunteered to be bait all gathered in the same dungeon.

Bang—the metal door of the dungeon was tightly closed. The sound of bolts rubbing against each other could be heard from outside. At the same time, a solemn voice came from the barred window to everyone's ears:

"Wait for the trial result here obediently. Do not make noise or fight. Violators will skip the subsequent procedures and be sentenced to death directly."

Trial, what trial?

Elaine looked around curiously and found that except for William and Tia, the other prisoners, even those who were brought in with Tia, had indifferent expressions and had no reaction to the word "trial".

They should have all gone through the process of interrogation and conviction before being taken to the dungeon... So, the three of us have some kind of specialness that allowed us to skip this step?

She thought to herself, and winked at her men. The three of them went to an empty corner and sat down on the stone steps at the edge of the dungeon, half a meter above the ground and slightly protruding from the wall, forming an open small group.

This was the best way to protect themselves without knowing the other people's situation. Moreover, in the brief conversation just now, the three of them had already been classified into the same circle by others.

As she expected, the other prisoners quickly moved away from this corner. Even though several prisoners with ferocious expressions and obviously with lives on their hands hardly took their eyes off Elaine and Tia, the presence of the burly and unfriendly William beside them made them give up the idea of ​​coming up to chat with them.

"Tia, tell me about how you were captured. Have you contacted Miss Angelica?"

After looking around, Elaine asked in a very low voice.

At the same time, William moved his body to block the two of them, and the tips of his shoes kept scratching on the rough ground, making noise to cover up their conversation.

Very skilled, has he ever been to prison... Elaine glanced at her boatswain.

"Karl… After William held off the pursuers, I immediately prayed to Miss Angelica and told her about our situation. But before I could get a response, a team of Beyonders from the Renburg military found me… I guessed they would lock me up with you, so I didn't resist.

"Afterwards, I was sent to this huge white tower and handed over to the clergy of the Church of Knowledge. They took me to the door of the dungeon and waited for the group of prisoners who had been tried to arrive. Then they took me to the cell together...

"I interviewed another female prisoner on the way. She was taken to the dungeon after she had been tried in a court-like manner and confessed under the influence of solid evidence and some kind of unbearable pressure."

It seems that the biggest difference between the three of us and other prisoners is that we have not gone through the "trial" stage... If I am not mistaken, they are planning to "exile" us directly, and the destination is likely to be the "City of Exile" that Miss Angelica is looking for...

This dungeon does not have any precautions against Beyonders. The handcuffs, leg irons, and steel doors can deal with ordinary people, but they are useless to Mid-Sequence Beyonders like me. However, if we fail to see through the intentions of the Church of Knowledge and try to escape, we will most likely be blocked by the Saint. By then, we will be useless and will be too stupid to survive...

Thoughts flashed through Elaine's mind, and she realized that the reason Miss Angelica did not respond to the prayer was probably because she had the same guess and wanted to see where the three of them would be exiled before implementing a rescue operation.

Thinking of this, she completely calmed down, and took two followers, a man and a woman, with her, and strode to the other side of the dungeon. She smiled in the half-surprised and half-doubted eyes of several prisoners who entered earlier.

"Come on, tell me, why were you arrested?"

She sat down on a stone chair fixed to the ground, crossed her legs, held her head high, and asked as if she was interrogating a prisoner.

————

"...I have arrived at the port of Leuser in the province of Pers. This is the estuary where the Serenzo River enters the Misty Sea, one of the largest ports in Intis...According to the confessions of the previously arrested members of the 'School of Truth', the 'Elemental Dawn' has found the cult base in this port. They seem to be preparing a fleet to go deep into the Misty Sea to search for something...

"The Steam Church's 'Mechanical Heart' team in Leuser Port will launch an operation this afternoon to destroy that stronghold. I plan to monitor it secretly and take action when necessary... According to the data, the believers of the 'School of Truth' and the 'Great Mother' all have saints, but they have never appeared before. I have a hunch that this port will encounter them and will be in certain dangers...

"Queen of the Five Seas, the essence of the disaster in the mirror, I ask for your attention and blessing..."

After listening to Bernadette's prayer, Angel pondered for a moment, his spirituality spread to the other end of the prayer light spot, and he responded in a deep voice:

"Be careful."

Then, she cut off the prayer connection, entered the mirror world, and sank deep into the mirror image of the "City of Disaster" shrouded in blood-red and iron-black. She quickly passed through the fog that hindered spirituality and isolated prying eyes, and appeared in the center of the shattered and collapsed city.

After the battle with the "Weather Warlock", Angel had guessed the source of the fog that isolated everything, and suspected that it was the manifestation of the ability of "Fog of War" at the source level.

Of course, the main body of the "City of Disaster" is still sealed in the Western Continent, and what appears in the depths of the mirror world is only a projection in the mirror. Therefore, the power of this fog is not complete, but it is enough to block most of the malicious peeping. Even the "Old Ones" and "Outer Gods" blocked by the barrier outside the earth cannot cast their sights here.

This does not mean that their status and power are inferior to the projection of the source substance, but the barrier of the fallen original creator weakens their influence on the earth.

But as the end of the world approaches, this stalemate cannot last long. One day, the "great terror" that will destroy everything will fall from the sky.

"When this inevitable ending comes, with wars in Loen, Feysac, Intis and other countries, and Bernadette trying to destroy the cult, is it still meaningful for Klein and I to work hard to improve our sequence…"

She thought a little frustratedly and slowly landed in front of the person in her mirror.

The latter found a familiar-looking single sofa from somewhere and curled up on it, slowly flipping through a copy of Stormwind Heights in her hand. However, her eyes were somewhat unfocused, and it was obvious that she was not paying attention to the book written by the "magician" Miss Fors.

She is so leisurely, why not let her go outside to resist the invasion of Feysac and other countries, and I can rest here for a few days... Angel muttered, snorted softly, and attracted the attention of the person in the mirror.

"You told me to relax and rest..."

The person in the mirror, who was wearing a black dress with tassels and lace, which was different from Angel's attire at the moment, explained awkwardly, threw away the novel, and stood up from the sofa.

It was then that Angel realized that this sofa was exactly the same as the one she had placed in the study at the Iris Winery. She must have thought that the man in the mirror had used some means to "mirror" it from reality.

Retracting his envious gaze, Angel quickly told the other party his purpose, and then asked doubtfully:

"If Bernadette needs help, can I use the power of the 'City of Disaster' to 'grant' her the ability of a hunter or a witch?"

After learning that the Source can "bestow" some power on believers or followers, Angel has never had the chance to try this method independent of the potion system. On the one hand, even with the help of the Source, the gifts of demigods and above would be a burden to her. On the other hand, she is worried that this power will affect the recipients, causing them to naturally approach the Source and be contaminated.

But if used in emergencies and to temporarily enhance the strength of others, "gift" is still an excellent means.

"First of all, this requires a complex ritual to connect the recipient to the City of Disaster and to us. It cannot be used temporarily in battle. Secondly, you and I can only bestow the power of a Sequence 3 War Bishop or Immortal Witch at most. It is of little use to a Beyonder like Bernadette who has already digested a Sequence 3 potion. Moreover, she is not in an adjacent path, and the power of the gift will conflict with the Beyonder characteristics in her body, causing her body to mutate..."

Listening to the explanation of the person in the mirror, Angel's mind suddenly emerged with the scene of Bernadette's neck flying up on its own, dragging her bloody spine floating around. He shook his head and said:

"Forget it then... I answered her prayer in the City of Disaster and sent down some of my power... But with her strength, she doesn't need our help to deal with the Saints, and the Outer Gods can't affect the angels inside the barrier. Why did she feel the danger in this operation and pray to me in advance?"

"Unless the barrier is further weakened, it is impossible for the Outer Gods to send angel-level power into the Earth… But even so, the believers of the Great Mother and the School of Truth have ways to harm a Sequence 3 Saint…"

The man in the mirror explained with a smile, his eyes lingering on Angel's face until the latter showed doubt, then he continued:

"...that is to directly recite the names of the Outer Gods and expose their existence. As long as Bernadette or those members of the 'Mechanical Heart' form a complete concept of the 'Old Ones' and the 'Outer Gods', they will establish a mystical connection with them outside the barrier and be contaminatedAmbush and Being AmbushedChapter 1059 Ambush and be ambushed

, is this possible? Then first of all, wouldn't these cult believers who knew the true identity of the Outer Gods be polluted and fall into madness... Well, could it be that this pollution is not the uncontrollable overflow of the power of the Outer Gods, but their selective interaction?

When I was fighting the "manipulator" Hvin Rambis, my mirror man also used this trick to implant the dangerous concept of "Outer God" into his mind. Although he was a member of the "Psychological Alchemy Society", he did not believe in evil gods. Instead, he was contaminated and died on the spot...

Angel's thoughts raced, and he quickly understood the nature of the "Outer God" pollution.

For these cult believers, knowing the identity of the "Outer Gods" is not the only condition for being contaminated. Compared with mutant tree demons like Cynthia, these Outer Gods, whose bodies are outside the barrier and cannot influence the inside, prefer their subordinates to be a group of rational humans who can lurk in normal society. Therefore, they will not use their status and power to contaminate the other party immediately after establishing contact, and may even take the initiative to provide some "gifts" so that believers can better preach.

Of course, this kind of "preferential treatment" is definitely limited to a small number of core believers, otherwise the information of the "Outer Gods" would have been leaked long ago, rather than being spread only among angels.

Thinking of this, Angel had a new question:

"So, if the cult members themselves will not be contaminated by the outer gods, why don't they publicize their existence? As long as they hear or see relevant information and form a clear concept in their minds, they will be noticed by the outer gods. Isn't that a very convenient 'weapon of mass destruction'?"

"Indeed, as long as these believers spread information about the 'Old Ones' and 'Outer Gods' in big cities at the same time, or even just recite their names, a large number of ordinary people will be polluted. Just like you revealed the form of a mythical creature in the battle on the outskirts of Limon today, if you and the weather sorcerer had not restrained yourself, and the fog of war blocked most of the influence of divinity, the soldiers below would have been polluted immediately, and went crazy or died."

The person in the mirror nodded, confirming Angel's statement, and then asked in a suggestive way:

"But if that happens, what will happen next? Consider the worst-case scenario."

The worst possibility... Angel thought for a moment and replied:

"First, printing leaflets in advance or using certain supernatural powers can greatly improve the efficiency of communication. If the latest radio and loudspeakers are used, the existence of the 'Outer Gods' can even be promoted to multiple cities at the same time... If one person can influence a thousand people, hundreds of Outer God believers acting at the same time, plus the problems caused by subsequent pollution, may cause the death of millions of people, which is equivalent to the casualties caused by a 'Level 0' sealed object completely out of control...

"This is equivalent to ten Backlund Great Fogs, but it is far inferior to the Pale Disaster, and even inferior to the several major plagues that swept across the continent... You mean, this kind of 'mass destruction' is not very effective?"

"On the contrary, the effect is too good, so good that even the Outer Gods are afraid." The man in the mirror chuckled and looked up at the broken sky in the mirror world, as if looking at the "Old Days" who were eyeing them covetously through a barrier. "The death of millions of people in a short period of time, and the death of madness and loss of control due to the pollution of the Outer Gods, is a huge blow to the gods they believe in. The reduction of the 'anchor' will instantly break the fragile balance they have maintained between humanity and divinity and the spiritual imprint within the Beyonder characteristics. The gods will fall into madness, attack each other, snatch and devour Beyonder characteristics and uniqueness. What will be the final result?"

"With the gods falling one after another, the Earth has lost its last hope and can only wait for the end of the world to come?"

Angel answered subconsciously, then shook his head.

This kind of thing would only make the Outer Gods ecstatic, so how could it make them afraid?

If these beings who have surpassed Sequence 0 and reached the level of the Old Ones were afraid of something, it could only be...

"Will the madness of the gods and the further aggregation of Beyonder characteristics give the original creator a chance to revive?" A flash of light flashed through her mind, and she murmured, "The creator set up a barrier before his fall, originally to give himself a chance to wake up again under the effect of the aggregation of Beyonder characteristics. Once He appears, the Outer Gods can only flee in panic, and will no longer have the chance to get what they want?"

"That's right."

The person in the mirror replied with a smile.

If so, is there a chance that Earth could use this as a threat to get the Outer Gods to leave with minimal losses and resolve the doomsday crisis?

This idea popped into Angel's mind, but he felt that it was not practical at all. Even if the Prime Creator could be resurrected, the biggest loss would be to Earth, and the Outer Gods would at most walk away without any gain or loss.

Unless, the original creator can completely stand on the side of the earth and become our fighting force, but how is this possible... She sighed, and found that the person in the mirror standing in front of her also sighed softly, and she couldn't help laughing again.

Suddenly, both of them frowned at the same time, their expressions became serious, and they looked upwards.

Since Bernadette could take action at any time, Angel left a mirror substitute in the shallow, ordinary mirror world before entering the "City of Disaster" to monitor the situation in Russell Port and see if Bernadette needs help.

At this moment, they all sensed the call of Bernadette, with whom they had chanted her honorable name before and therefore still maintained a certain connection.

————

On the west coast of the Republic of Intis, at the mouth of the Serenzo River, in an abandoned warehouse located in a remote location in Port Leuser.

A team of "Mechanical Hearts" were cleaning up a messy battlefield. The ground was full of holes caused by large-caliber ammunition and explosives. The entire outer wall of the warehouse was riddled with holes and almost collapsed. The ground was covered with stains and debris, making it impossible to tell what they used to be.

But from the spots of blood, it can be inferred that they may have been parts of a cultist when they were alive.

These "mechanical hearts" were obviously well-trained. They quickly searched every corner of the warehouse, burned and destroyed any suspicious objects, carefully collected the small amount of extraordinary characteristics that were separated from the ashes, and used portable cameras to take pictures of meaningful graphics. They were taciturn and moved skillfully.

But no one noticed that at a small window at the top of the warehouse, a hidden invisible servant was quietly watching below, keeping track of their actions.

Everything it saw was being transmitted through the "Eye of Peering into Mystery" to the "Mysterious Queen" Bernadette not far away. The latter quietly watched the actions of the "Mechanical Heart" and had no intention of approaching the warehouse.

Of course, she did not come here just to observe the operation to eliminate the evil sect, but she predicted that the saints among the believers of the "School of Truth" and "Great Mother" would appear in this stronghold, so she hid in the dark, ready to help the official extraordinary people at any time and obtain first-hand information.

However, the prophecy had made a rare mistake. There were only a few ordinary believers who were fighting hard in the warehouse. The highest one was no more than a Sequence 6. They quickly collapsed under the full firepower of the "Mechanical Heart". The saint who was with the team didn't even have a chance to make a move.

In the process of arresting cult members, such "accidents" are not uncommon, because prophecies and divinations will frequently go wrong for believers who believe in evil existence, and those that are accurate have a considerable probability of being sensed by the other party in advance, thus rendering the prophecy invalid.

Therefore, Bernadette was not discouraged. After the "Mechanical Heart" completed the cleanup of the battlefield, she took back the invisible servants and prepared to leave the port and return to the "Dawn" docked nearby.

But she had just left the spiritual world from the hotel where she was hiding, and stepped into the spiritual world with the help of a magical item. Before she had time to travel through it, she felt that the surrounding environment, which was originally rich in color and had chaotic distance relationships, became dim, as if the light was blocked by some mirrors.

Enemy attack!

Bernadette immediately ruled out the possibility of accidentally entering the depths of the spiritual world or being affected by the negative effects of the magical items on her body. She stretched out her hands without hesitation, and with her left hand, a dark-colored ancient horn was condensed. She put it to her mouth and blew it. With her right hand, she grabbed a bright-colored ball of wool that was not real enough and threw it out.

The horn emitted a low roar, sweeping past her quickly like a wave. Under the superposition of sound waves, the shadow rushing towards her retreated in an instant. Several consecutive sounds of glass breaking were heard, and cracks appeared in the strange space surrounding her.

The ball of yarn rolled in a certain direction and quickly disappeared, leaving only a piece of yarn to guide her.

It seems that the attackers are only at the Saint level at most. They originally planned to ambush the demigod of the Steam Church, but they discovered that I was spying?

Bernadette's mind flashed through thoughts, but her body followed the thread that guided the direction without any pause, preparing to leave this abnormal spiritual world.

As for counterattack, you can wait until you are out of danger and use the prophecy to lock the attacker's position!

She followed the bright ball of yarn and soon returned to the normal spiritual world with rich colors. She strolled quickly in the magical world where the distance and direction were different from the reality, landed on the golden block representing her flagship "Dawn", and immediately left the spiritual world.

But what appeared before her eyes was not the familiar deck and mast, but the interior of a warehouse filled with smoke and the smell of blood.

Her landing point was "distorted" and she returned to the battlefield where the "Mechanical Heart" had fought fiercely with the cultists!

The official Beyonders who were cleaning up the battlefield a few minutes ago had fallen dead one after another, their faces full of horror and their deaths horrific. Guns and magical items were thrown all over the ground. The "Alchemist" who had been raiding the battlefield was nowhere to be seen. In the warehouse, there was only one person standing except Bernadette.

"Long time no see, Queen of Mystery, Her Royal Highness, Ms. Bernadette Gustave."

Nast Solomon, the "King of the Five Seas," addressed him in a sarcastic tone as if he were reciting his honorific nameUncertain Mist and the Great MotherChapter 1060: Uncertain Mist and the Great Mother

"Nast Solomon, when did you become a clown who collaborates with the cultists? Is this how you establish a new order and become the 'Black Emperor'?"

Bernadette retorted bluntly.

At the same time, a figure made of air currents deep in the spiritual world was following her orders and approaching her position quickly.

These are the servants who guard her sealed objects, which have powerful effects but also unbearable negative effects.

Nast didn't seem to realize that the "mysterious queen" in front of him was stalling for time. He crossed his arms over his chest, leaned against a stone pillar at the edge of the warehouse, and answered leisurely,

"Oh, the fate of the emperor in Loen made me realize that the title of 'Black Emperor' is not something that can be obtained by obtaining Beyonder characteristics. The support of the gods is also indispensable. I have already lost the protection of the gods. Even if I obtain the Sequence 2 'Duke of Entropy' in the 'Dream City', it will be difficult to make further progress."

Did the fall of George III make him lose confidence in becoming the Black Emperor? No, he was contaminated earlier. According to the clues we found later, when King Loen attempted to ascend to godhood, Nast had already begun to promote the teachings of the "Great Mother" in Intis...

Bernadette's mind flashed through thoughts, but her expression relaxed slightly. She walked closer to Nast and continued to ask:

"So you are seeking support from the evil god? As far as I know, the ritual of the Duke of Entropy requires adding some chaos and distortion to the existing order, and making it function normally and widely known... You plan to use the faith of the Great Mother to complete the ritual?"

At this time, the servant carrying the important seal has come to Bernadette's side. The only barrier between her and the spiritual world is the barrier between reality and spirit world. He can appear beside her at any time, allowing her to obtain the help of the "0" level seal, and her combat power is infinitely close to that of a Sequence 2 angel.

But Bernadette did not rush to call the servants, but looked at Nestor quietly, trying to get more information from him.

Compared to the lower-level believers who don't know what their faith is, who they are sacrificing for, and who are simply deceived by some false doctrines, "high-level" people like Nestor undoubtedly know more about the "Great Mother" and the "School of Truth".

Of course, she could see that Nast had similar thoughts to her, but time was more favorable to her. The saint of the "Mechanical Heart" had fled the scene, and it would not be long before reinforcements from the Steam Church arrived. Before taking action, she also prayed for the attention of the real "Queen of the Five Seas" so that she could get help at any time. Therefore, she was happy to delay each other's time.

But to her surprise, Nast shook his head and replied with a sigh:

"The teachings of the Great Mother are too different from the Five Seas Order that I practiced before. It is difficult to twist and integrate them to achieve the Sequence 2 promotion ceremony. Besides, I have no chance to take the Beyonder characteristics that should belong to me from that city...

"My help to the followers of the Great Mother is only because of a deal, a fair deal that has enough power to keep both parties from violating the contract...

"Of course, in the deal, the Great Mother will also provide some help, such as extending my life before I become an angel, allowing my father to wake up and let him see me truly become the king of the five seas and restore Solomon's glory."

Deal… Bernadette was a little dazed, but her mind was more focused on the promise made by the "Great Mother" to Nast:

"You should know that this kind of 'resurrection' will only bring about a monster, not the result you want, right?"

Even if he is a true God, he cannot resurrect someone who died a hundred years ago, unless he has made preparations in advance and used some means to prevent them from really dying!

"Of course, this is part of the deal. The 'fog of uncertainty' that the brokers believe in will ensure that I get what I want."

Nast's expression was distorted, and he answered at a very fast speed.

Uncertain Mist, that is the name of the evil god believed in by the "School of Truth". I have never heard of it before. It seems to be similar to the "Great Mother", the other side of a certain evil god, the "True Creator"? "Original Witch"? They do not have the authority that Nast said, and they do not need to spread the doctrine in a secret way...

Bernadette's thoughts raced. On the one hand, she tried to use her knowledge to confirm the true identity of the "Uncertain Mist". On the other hand, she tried to continue the conversation with Nestor:

"So what does the 'Great Mother' need you to do? Offer enough sacrifices, or... find a hidden location somewhere?"

She no longer cared about Nast's condition. This Sequence 3 "Mad Mage" was obviously severely affected by some kind of pollution, so much so that he firmly believed in the "Uncertain Mist" and the "Great Mother".

This is somewhat different from the madness and mutation caused by "losing control", which manifests as paranoia and indifference to everything, and there will be obvious changes in personality.

It was similar to the last few years of my father's life... This thought suddenly popped up in Bernadette's mind, and she quickly captured it and let her thoughts spread.

She suspected that Roselle devoted himself to finding a way to become a god in the last few years before he was assassinated, and did so many things that hurt innocent people. This was also due to his contact with the "Great Mother" and the "Uncertain Mist", and he was contaminated in a similar way to Nast.

Nast, not knowing what she was thinking, chuckled again, stood up from his position leaning against the stone pillar, and walked slowly towards her, saying:

"Of course the sacrifice is one reason, but even without my help, they can do it. At most, they will be slower and more likely to be discovered... With Intis joining the war, these are not a problem...

"What He asked of me was to use the sacrificial ritual to find one of the last two tombs of Roselle Gustav, the one located deep in the ocean!"

As expected... Bernadette nodded slightly without any surprise and asked:

"Is this why you left some plausible clues at various locations? Do you hope to get useful information from me?"

"After all, you are one of the two descendants left by Emperor Roselle. As for the other one, those 'people in the mirror' in Trier tried to pull Him into the depths of the mirror world, but the plan was ruined by a witch… Tsk, this witch also took away the Beyonder characteristics that should belong to me. Don't you think it's a coincidence…"

Nast smacked his lips and answered in a dissatisfied tone, then changed the subject:

"But from my conversation with you, I can see that you are not sure about the location of the emperor's mausoleum... But it doesn't matter, maybe the secret is hidden deep in your memory, and you should be able to remember it when you become one of us."

Hearing this, Bernadette's thoughts flashed, and her right hand quickly sketched out several star-shaped symbols in the air. The gate leading to the depths of the spiritual world appeared in an instant, and a man with a human upper body and a rotating air flow lower body pushed open the door and was about to land beside her.

She had sensed that Nast was about to end the conversation, so she summoned her servants first and prepared to take out the "0" level sealed object.

From the previous attacks on the followers of the "Great Mother", Bernadette realized that this evil god possessed some kind of authority similar to that of the "Mother Goddess of the Earth", and was able to grant creatures deformed lives, indirectly achieving a kind of "eternal life" effect.

And the "Pale Death" she possesses is the seal that restrains this power!

But as she asked the servant to hand over the sealed object, the servant, who had already taken shape, suddenly turned around and returned to the illusory door in mid-air. The door slammed shut and disappeared from her sight.

Her and her servants' intentions were distorted by the "Crazy Mage" in front of them!

How is it possible? I am a servant with a "0" level seal and my status is even higher than usual. My intentions should not be easily twisted... Unless Nast has received help from a high-ranking being...

Just as Bernadette understood, Nast in front of her had a distorted expression, opened his arms and shouted in a chanting voice:

"The will of the 'Great Mother' has arrived!"

Does he believe in the "uncertain fog" or the "great mother"... Bernadette's eyes fixed, and without hesitation, she spread out a pair of illusory and sacred white wings behind her. The white feathers fell one by one, as if fighting against something.

In her hand, an ancient, blood-stained spear condensed, and a strong aura of destruction instantly descended upon the warehouse, even the invisible pollution that appeared in Nast's chanting was stagnant.

"The Spear of Longinus!"

This is the result of Bernadette presenting myths and legends from a distant and untraceable era through "mysterious reappearance".

She threw the blood-stained spear, but her target was not Nast who was close at hand, but a position slightly off.

But with the power of "twist", the spear that was actively deflecting its direction twisted its angle strangely and happened to be aimed at Nestor, leaving the latter dumbfounded. It seemed that he did not expect that the opponent would actively use his "twist" to attack in advance.

The spear that pierced the gods in ancient legends landed on Nast's chest just in time, but quickly dissipated like a phantom without causing any damage.

This stunned Bernadette, who had a pair of wings on her back like an angel.

"The legends and myths you rely on are no longer important in front of the 'Great Mother'..."

Nast sneered, and before he finished his words, flames and smoke rose up around him.

Then, a series of earth-shaking roars were heard in the warehouse. Bernadette looked out from the corner of her eye and found that several groups of brilliant lights were approaching quickly in the distance and hit Nestor accurately.

It was the support of the "Mechanical Heart"... She relaxed her mind a little, and instead condensed an ancient horn in her hand and put it to her lips.

Before she could blow the horn and shatter everything around her, Nast's crazy voice came from the depths of the rising smoke:

"Great Mother...

"He is the Origin of Evil, the Indestructible, the Mother of Filth!

"He is the Old One, and the Pillar!

"He is in the starry sky, watching everyone!"

What... Bernadette paused, and the countless scattered pieces of knowledge in her mind naturally connected together.

Immediately, an invisible gaze gathered from an infinitely far distance above her head and fell on her
