I finally escaped from their control and was able to live a good life, why did I suddenly make such a stupid decision?
This is not love, but humiliation, humiliation arranged by others!
No!
No! No!
I want to break free from the shackles of these arrangements. My life is decided by me alone. I don't want to be controlled by others anymore. I want to leave here, leave Backlund, and stay away from everything in the past!
Triss suddenly turned around and left the mausoleum under the puzzled gaze of Prince Grove, and then walked further and further away, gradually disappearing from sight.
And with her departure, the petrification in the mausoleum was gradually lifted.
Prince Grove felt that the crisis was over, and jumped out of the mausoleum, only to find that Triss had really left.
"She was so close to success, why did she leave so suddenly? Was she suddenly afraid of death?"
He couldn't figure it out, but no matter what, he fulfilled his promise to George III and successfully guarded this mausoleum.
Chapter 678 Your emperor is back!
At the same time, several other mausoleums scattered throughout Loen were guarded by members of the Twilight Hermits hired by George III, and no one was seen coming to cause trouble from beginning to end.
In other words, except for one mausoleum that was destroyed due to the fight between the two disaster witches, Christine and Judith, the other eight were intact and always stood in various places, accompanying George III to gradually complete his promotion ceremony to the Black Emperor.
In Backlund City, on Memorial Day Square.
The imaginary George III's voice became more and more passionate. He waved his hands vigorously, bringing the speech to an end:
"My subjects! Please follow your emperor and rush to the frontline battlefield. Use our flesh and blood, our sharp swords to drive away all invaders, avenge our brothers and relatives, and drive those hateful and damned Feysac people out of our land completely!"
"Not only that, I hereby promise that we will repay the harm and pain that Feysac has brought us a hundredfold!"
As his powerful speech progressed, the people in the square raised their hands and cheered, expressing their highest respect to their Emperor.
Inside the dark and majestic secret mausoleum of "Ruins No. 1" outside Backlund, the real George III held up the black crown and put it on his head, then solemnly took the potion made from three copies of Sequence 1 Beyonder properties and drank it.
His body was transforming towards the shadow of order, expanding and extending in a strange state, and the remaining eight mausoleums were islands in the ocean of nothingness, part of the entire rule, and the "Emperor George III" that the people chanted at the same time during the ceremony was countless, densely packed lighthouses, anchoring the ruler of Loen, East Balam, and Rorsted Islands, so that He would not be completely separated from reality and become part of the shadow of order. · Qi\Sheng_Xiao.Say+徃- +庚+歆~最,哙!
At this time, He already knew that all the enemies who attempted to destroy the mausoleum had been repelled. With the tacit consent of the Seven Gods, no one could stop Him from taking the final supreme step and becoming an eternal god of the same status as the Seven Gods, becoming the 'Black Emperor' who ruled reality!
By then, all those who try to hinder him will be ruthlessly crushed by him and become ants under the feet of George III, the new black emperor!
Two hundred and twelve years, three lifetimes of hard work, countless plans, and millions of sacrifices have all materialized at this moment. They are all worthy and should be praised. They will witness the birth of a new god with their own eyes!
Feeling that the potion was gradually completing the final transformation of his body, George III slowly stood up, his eyes full of supreme majesty, his mustache slightly raised and he smiled, he opened his arms and shouted loudly:
"I, George Augustus...will be a god this very day!"
suddenly,
Without any warning, George III felt his spirit suddenly tremble.
The potion that was about to complete the transformation suddenly stopped, just at the very last bit.
The smile froze on his face, a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes, and his voice was filled with shock and confusion: "How could it be... like this?"
"Impossible? Impossible!"
"That's impossible!"
"I have clearly completed the ritual and taken the potion, why... why haven't I been promoted to the Black Emperor?"
Sudden,
George III felt as if something was missing from his head. He reached out to touch it, only to find that the black crown that was originally worn on his head - the uniqueness of the Black Emperor - had disappeared at some point.
He immediately stood up, his eyes as fast as lightning looked around, with only one thought in his mind: Impossible!
Even Amon, the angel king of thieves, cannot steal my uniqueness silently, but the problem is that my uniqueness suddenly disappeared inexplicably.
"Who is it?!"
George III's voice echoed in the mausoleum, containing the power to distort rules and order, trying to establish a connection with the disappearing uniqueness, but there was no response.
The next second, his legs suddenly softened and he knelt on the ground uncontrollably. His body was like a deflated balloon, and his breath quickly weakened. From the Black Emperor who was infinitely close to Sequence 0, he first degenerated to Sequence 1, and then became Sequence 2.
No, this is not just a decline in breath and sequence!
George III clearly felt that the three doses of Sequence 1 fusion potion he had taken also mysteriously disappeared from his body, as if he had never taken it - exactly the same as the unique disappearance just now.
"!!!"
His pupils trembled violently: Yes, he thought of a possibility!
A possibility that could make the Black Emperor's uniqueness and the Beyonder Characteristics of three copies of Sequence 1 disappear out of thin air, but He immediately shook His head vigorously, unwilling to admit it. He angrily slammed his fist on the ground:
"No! No! Only half a step left, only the last half a step!"
This huge gap, like falling from heaven to hell, will make George III lose his mind, become crazy and gradually lose control, "I am the Black Emperor! I am a god who is on par with the Seven Gods! I am the Eternal Black Emperor!!!"
George III's mind became increasingly insane. He felt that an irresistible, extremely crazy consciousness was erupting from his body like a volcano, which was changing his body and distorting everything around him.
Faintly, he saw a huge black throne and himself sitting on it, wearing the emperor's crown, looking down at the reality with pride, ruling over all people, and being equal to the gods.
He reaches out and tries to grasp this future:
"I am Rune, I am from the Northern Continent, I am the eternal emperor of this planet!"
"No one... no one can stop me, no one can stop me!"
"I, George Augustus, am the Black Emperor!!!"
George III's body twisted, black hairs sprouted from his skin, and his face became extremely hideous and terrifying - he was about to lose control, "I... am the Black Emperor!"
"No, I am."
A black figure suddenly appeared in the underground mausoleum, and his body gradually became solid, condensing from a black shadow into a real body. This middle-aged man wore a black crown inlaid with various gems on his head, wore black armor, a cloak of the same color, and held a scepter in his hand.
The Emperor of the Intis Empire, Emperor Roselle!
He completed his resurrection before George III completed his promotion, and forcibly took back the three Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics and uniqueness that George III had taken away. At the moment of his resurrection, he completed his promotion back to the Black Emperor in the astral realm. (Regarding the resurrection of the Black Emperor, there are two interpretations of the retraction of "uniqueness". One is that it is automatically retracted when the Black Emperor is resurrected, which is an order that even gods cannot stop; the other is that people who have merged uniqueness, such as George III, must first separate their uniqueness by themselves (or be forced to) before they can retract their resurrection. The first one is adopted here, because according to the second one, the resurrection of the Black Emperor is too weak.)
This is the characteristic of the Black Emperor, this is the "shyness" of the Black Emperor. Before the previous Black Emperor is completely dead, as long as He is given enough time, He can ignore all the efforts made by the later ones for promotion, and complete the resurrection and promotion with an order that even the true God cannot reverse or stop.
Roselle pinched his fingers, feeling the transformation from a remnant soul to a god, feeling the return of the power that had been lost for a hundred years. He exhaled a long breath of turbid air: "Hey, after being held in that crappy place for so long, I'm finally out!"
He smiled faintly and said loudly:
"Intis, your emperor is back!"
As the words came out, they instantly reached the ears of everyone in Intis. A sense of awe rising from the bottom of their hearts made them want to kneel down, bow, praise, and welcome the return of the Black Emperor.
At this time, George III's body had undergone a complete transformation. Black curly hair grew all over his body, and he changed from a fairly majestic image to a giant curly-haired baboon.
He first destroyed the surroundings, then cast his eyes on Roselle and rushed up with a roar: "The Black Emperor... is mine!!!"
"Tsk, the Black Emperor's mythical creature form really is a curly-haired baboon."
Russell curled his lips, and lightly pointed at the curly-haired baboon that was rushing towards him. The twisting force containing the power of authority directly twisted the huge curly-haired baboon into a meat ball, and then after extreme compression, it turned into bloody flesh fragments all over the ground with a bang.
But George III was not dead. The pieces of flesh on the ground were still slowly squirming, trying to piece themselves back together.
Russell snapped his fingers.
With a bang, the rules and order of the space in front of him changed. The flesh and blood on the ground suddenly turned into powder and was burned to ashes by the flames generated by the friction of the stones he casually threw out.
George III, died.
With a ding, a ball of something that looked like fog but was not fog and had an irregular shape fell to the ground. This was the extraordinary characteristic of the Duke of Entropy of Sequence 2 in George III's body.
Roselle stretched out his hand and grabbed the Beyonder Characteristics, then took a step forward and disappeared into the mausoleum.
"Beibei, Daddy is here."
...
East Chester County.
Bernadette, wearing the Emperor's New Clothes, blocked William Augustus I's execution, but the Sequence 1 Hand of Order stretched out his fist towards her and directly stripped her of her [Emperor's New Clothes].
As Bernadette retreated, a blood-stained Spear of Longinus condensed between her fingers again, emitting a strong aura of destruction and blood, and shot towards the head of William Augustus I.
Although this spear was fired by Sequence 3 Bernadette, its special characteristics made William Augustus I dare not underestimate it. He first stretched out his hand to slow down the speed of the Spear of Longinus, and then banished it into the void with a wave of his hand. Then he grasped the figure of Bernadette in front of him with his left hand and clenched his fist.
In an instant, Bernadette's body was trapped in mid-air, and she could only watch William Augustus I swing his fist again to execute her.
This time, without the obstruction of the Emperor's New Clothes, the Sequence 1 level execution came towards Bernadette's head without reservation. Even a Sequence 3 would die on the spot after receiving such a blow.
Chapter 679 Reunion
At the critical moment, Bernadette quickly took out an exquisite jewelry box from the void and blocked the execution - this was the Box of the Old Ones!
With a sound of "Dang",
The Box of the Elder Days blocked most of the force of the execution, but Bernadette still borne the remaining small part of the damage. A terrible tearing force tore directly from the middle of Bernadette's right shoulder and head, leaving a horrifying crack on her body.
Bernadette's face turned pale as paper in an instant, and beads of sweat rolled down her forehead. She gritted her teeth, relying on her strong willpower and spirituality to keep her body from being torn in half. But before she could recover, William Augustus I's subsequent attacks followed like a storm - obviously, the other party intended to take this opportunity to kill her in one fell swoop!
She endured the excruciating pain of her soul being torn apart, and tried her best to open the first layer of the Box of the Old Ones.
At the same time as William Augustus I's attack came, a finger-sized figure jumped out of the Box of the Old Days. In the blink of an eye, it quickly grew larger and turned into a broad-foreheaded man wearing a black classical robe, a pointed soft hat of the same color, and a monocle on his right eye.
"Wow! You welcome me like this right after I come out?"
Amon's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a playful smile. He grabbed the oncoming attack several times in succession, and then threw the attack back at William Augustus I as if discarding useless debris.
William Augustus I hurriedly dodged Amon's attack, then stopped and said with a gloomy expression: "Amon?"
Although they are both Sequence 1, He is very clear about the gap between Him and Amon. It may be even greater than the gap between George III and the Black Emperor. Fighting Amon would undoubtedly mean seeking death.
If Amon is really Bernadette's helper, He has no choice but to escape immediately!
Amon looked back and forth between the two of them, and suddenly laughed: "Oh, so you are being hunted, that saves me the trouble of taking action."
He took a step back and said to William Augustus I: "Please continue. I actually have a grudge against this woman."
Tick. Tick.
Bright red blood kept flowing out from the torn parts of Bernadette's body, dripping onto the ground, creating shocking blood flowers on the ground.
She looked at Amon and William Augustus I coldly, her eyes suddenly becoming resolute, her fingers tightly clasped the third layer of the Box of the Old Days, slowly opening a tiny crack.
Almost instantly, Amon's eyes widened, "Fuck, I'm going to die, I'm going to die!"
As He spoke, He disappeared in a stealth manner.
William Augustus I frowned slightly, and a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes. He keenly sensed that the third layer of the box contained the power of pollution from the depths of the starry sky. However, although this power was terrifying, neither he nor Amon should be so afraid of it - at least with their strength, they could have enough time to stay away after the third layer was opened.
"Then don't let her open it!"
There was a flash of lightning in William Augustus I's eyes, and a mental piercing shot out like a sharp arrow, instantly penetrating Bernadette's spirit and attacking her spiritual sea of consciousness.
The intense pain came like a surging tide, causing Bernadette's fingers holding the box to suddenly freeze. Then, William Augustus I whipped her with another painful whip, and the mental pain quickly spread throughout her body, forcing her fingers to loosen uncontrollably, and the Box of the Past fell to the ground with a clang.
William Augustus I immediately carried out another execution, turning into a black lightning and heading straight for Bernadette.
With a snap,
Bernadette's body turned into pieces of broken glass, but her real body had already completed a leap and moved away from William Augustus I - this was a seal of the witch's path given to her by Lilith.
She reached into the void again, trying to take out the golden lamp. However, William Augustus I reacted very quickly, suddenly drawing out a silver rapier and slashing it towards Bernadette's position.
In an instant, the space was torn apart, and Bernadette was separated into a separate space. Then, He muttered: "The mystery here is weakened, and the reality is strengthened."
As soon as she finished speaking, Bernadette's attempt to take the magic lamp was abruptly interrupted.
William Augustus I rushed into the isolated space without hesitation, raised his right fist high, and punched Bernadette's head with all his strength with a whirring sound. After the mystery weakened, the power of the Judge's Path showed its advantage in close combat, and his fist became his strongest weapon.
Facing this simple but deadly punch, Bernadette could only retreat again and again until she reached the edge of this space, with no more room to retreat. *0.0\暁`税^旺, .更_鑫+嶵*剁¨As a martial arts scholar, her experience and awareness told her that there were more than ten ways to deal with this punch, but the spirituality in her body issued a strong warning that these methods would be useless in the face of this punch.
In a few seconds, his head would be smashed by a punch, and because of the mysterious weakening, he would not even have time to enter the mythical form and would die completely!
She was confused: "Am I going to die?"
Did he really die like this?
He didn't see his father, didn't see Mr. Sparrow, and just died in an unknown place.
Her consciousness quickly became blurred, and she vaguely saw a cold and ruthless eye appear in her sight. At the same time
A strange force quietly enveloped her - it was the gaze of the hidden sage.
Bernadette learned from Mr. Sparrow (hidden avatar) a long time ago that she had been targeted by the Hidden Sage before she became a Secret Peeper. The Hidden Sage had been trying to seduce her to become His follower for many years. Not only did Bernadette refuse time and time again, she also established the Dawn of Elements specifically to fight against the Hidden Sage.
At this moment, the Hidden Sage took advantage of her weakest moment and sneaked in.
Soon, the strange power that enveloped her poured into her mind with a large amount of knowledge. In just a moment, she clearly felt her aura expanding rapidly, and there was a tendency for it to break through the [prohibition] of William Augustus I.
In the sight, William Augustus I's attack movements suddenly became extremely slow. Although the two were only seven or eight meters apart, it was as if he was stuck in a quagmire, making it difficult to get close.
Bernadette knew in her heart that this must be the work of the Hidden Sage! He was planning to use his own body as a shell to complete his descent.
Powerful force continued to surge into her body. If she were to fight William Augustus I again at this moment, the outcome would be uncertain.
However, once the Secret Sage completes his descent, he will no longer be himself. This "evil god" is likely to use his body to create a terrible disaster!
So, Bernadette desperately resisted the knowledge and power that was pouring in, and with the help of this power, she briefly broke free from William Augustus I's [Prohibition], reached out and took out the Level 0 Sealed Object [Pale Death] from the void, and put it on her face with all her strength.
She wanted to use the power of the seal to delay the arrival of the Hidden Sage and let herself die under the negative effects of [Pale Death] - even if the Hidden Sage finally succeeded in arriving, all she would get was a dead body. +w`d?s,c￠w¨.·n￠e_t^
"Damn it!!!"
A sharp and angry roar came from her mind. In her strong unwillingness, the Hidden Sage's descent was forced to stop. The next second, all the power was quickly withdrawn from her body, and William Augustus I's movements returned to normal.
The breath of death once again came to my face.
Bernadette watched calmly, facing the approach of death, with only one thought in her mind:
"Mr. Sparrow, I thought you would be like the warrior in the fairy tale, appearing in front of me at the most critical moment and saving my life."
pity...
Bang!
A dull sound rang in Bernadette's ears. She was slightly stunned when she saw the hand that suddenly blocked William Augustus I's fist in front of her. Then she slowly turned her gaze to the familiar and distant face that appeared beside her.
Her heart began to pound wildly and her eyes were filled with disbelief.
At this moment, the mysterious queen, who had been famous for a long time, could no longer control her emotions, and tears could not stop falling from the corners of her eyes:
It was not Mr. Sparrow who came;
It's Russell!
"dad?"
Bernadette stared blankly at Roselle, who had regained his youthful appearance, and still couldn't believe it.
Over the years, she had gone through countless hardships and done so many things, wasn't it just to find her father? The reason why she risked her life to prevent George III from becoming the Black Emperor was to leave a glimmer of hope for her father's return.
But just when she had almost given up hope, her father appeared in front of her without any warning, which made her wonder if this was just a fantasy before death.
"I'm sorry, baby, daddy is back."
Roselle said gently, gently removing the [Pale Death] from Bernadette's face. Looking at the shocking wounds on his daughter's body, his deep blue eyes instantly ignited with rage.
He moved his fingers, twisted the rules to repair the wound, and then said gently: "Wait for Dad for a while."
Roselle patted Bernadette on the head gently and looked coldly at William Augustus I.
"!!!"
At this moment, William Augustus I suddenly came to his senses. What frightened Amon so much that he fled without hesitation was not the box that sealed the pollution of the starry sky, but the man in black armor and a black crown in front of him!
Russell Gustave,
The father of the mysterious Queen Bernadette,
The Emperor of the Intis Empire,
He is also a Sequence 0 god—the Black Emperor!
Although he didn't know why the long-dead Emperor Roselle suddenly resurrected and appeared here, becoming the Black Emperor again, William Augustus I knew very well:
George III failed.
The moment this thought came to his mind, he turned around and tried to escape, while desperately using various abilities such as exile, confinement, and prohibition to try to restrict Roselle, constantly cutting the space into different areas along the way to block him.
Russell simply stretched out his hand calmly and shook it towards Him.
In an instant, the Sequence 0 level distortion ability surged out like a raging wave, twisting William Augustus I's thoughts and movements without any hindrance. He seemed to be controlled by an invisible force, and he turned around and ran back to Russell.
Roselle opened his fingers again and twisted them gently, and William Augustus I's body collapsed like fragile tofu. Flesh, fur, and internal organs fell to the ground, leaving only a bright red skeleton in its place.
The intense pain made William Augustus I's mouth open wide, but he could not make any sound. His two exposed pupils swelled violently, enduring great pain.
But He still did not give up. No matter which path the Sequence 1 Archangels took, they all possessed extraordinary vitality and recovery ability. The flesh no longer dominated their lives. Spirituality and soul were the basis of their survival.
Russell raised his hand again and pressed down gently. With a "crunch", the bright red skeleton was crushed into pieces under the huge pressure. With another distortion of order and rules, a small scale shaped like an arm was separated from the pile of fragments - this was the extraordinary characteristic of William Augustus I Sequence 1.
Almost in an instant, the vitality of the first founder of Loen quickly declined and disappeared, and he died.
Russell turned slowly and looked at his daughter again.
In an instant, his arms felt heavy. Bernadette rushed in, her arms tightly wrapped around him, as if she was trying her best to merge herself with her father.
"dad!!!"
Chapter 680 Respective Reactions
Bernadette burst into tears. This cry, filled with nearly a hundred years of longing and repression, penetrated the vicissitudes of time and echoed in the air.
At this moment, all her past identities disappeared like a passing cloud. She was no longer a powerful figure in the mysterious world, no longer the awe-inspiring queen of mystery, and no longer a high-ranking Sequence 3 expert.
At this moment, she was just a daughter who had been separated from her father for a long time and suffered from the pain of missing him. Her heart and eyes were filled with the only relative in front of her who gave her life and carried most of her childhood memories.
Roselle, who had killed some archangels with a wave of his hand just a moment ago, was now at a loss. He hesitantly put his hands on his daughter's back and patted her gently: "Okay, okay, Dad is back, Dad is back."
After a while,
Bernadette raised her head, wiped away her tears and asked softly, "Dad, do you know where Mr. Sparrow went?"
Russell frowned immediately, "You finally see me after such a long time, but your first question is to another man?"
"…"
Bernadette took a deep breath and gradually returned to her usual mysterious queen calmness. She said, "I just want to know what happened in the first place and what he and dad were planning."
"Can't you ask me this?"
"Of course, then Dad, tell me?"
"this..."
Russell's tone stagnated, and he scratched his head. "Let's find that guy and talk to him. He made me stay in the mausoleum for more than a hundred years without anyone to talk to. I've been wanting to settle the score with him for a long time!"
As he said this, he stretched out his hands and gently pulled Bernadette's cheek, "Also, don't talk to me with such a cold face that seems to have seen through everything. I still like your previous smiling face. It was so cute and beautiful."
Bernadette said calmly, "I'm sorry, but I really can't smile at a father who wrote those... contents in his diary."
"!!!"
Roselle felt as if his heart had been stabbed by a sword, and the corner of his eye twitched rapidly, "You...you learned Chinese?"
"Um."
"asshole!"
Russell was furious. "That bastard Edward clearly told me that he wouldn't teach you Chinese! You son of a bitch! You dared to stab me in the back! I'm going to kill him!"
"Walk!"
He tugged on his daughter's wrist.
Bernadette frowned: "Where to?"
"Go find that bastard Edward!"
Bernadette followed Roselle and took two steps. Suddenly, she paused and felt a faint feeling coming from her spirit:
The ceremony to advance to Sequence 2 was completed.
