Chapter 448 Severe Injury, Misunderstanding
Bernadette was not at all surprised by the appearance of the true creator, for this was the result of her summoning the Spear of Longinus.
After realizing that "Death Scream" might be a follower of the "Dark Side of the Universe," Bernadette initially thought that this was the purpose of Gehrman Sparrow's hunt for the "Undead King"—that "The Fool" wanted to communicate with the "Dark Side of the Universe."
But Mr. Fool's failure to appear left Bernadette somewhat puzzled, but there was no time to think about anything else now.
This time, the enemy is actually a god, which is beyond Bernadette's previous imagination, so the seal she relied on before - "Pale Death" seems somewhat powerless.
As for the other 0-level sealed artifact—005, it had already been used to enlighten her once before, and it was clear that it did not want to use it again.
This left Bernadette without the power to deal with the gods, even though it was just a projection of the abyss. There is a qualitative difference between gods and angels.
At this moment, Bernadette recalled the gaze she felt when she entered the ruins of the God War with the "Golden Dream," and remembered what Gehrman Sparrow had said to her.
"The Giants' Court is in the Forsaken Land, and in the Forsaken Land lies the Kingdom of the True Creator."
Only the power of the gods can stand against them. Without time to think, Bernadette immediately used "Mystic Reappearance" to summon the legendary Spear of Longinus, which had once killed the gods.
The Spear of Longinus did not disappoint Bernadette's expectations, directly provoking a reaction from the residual divine power in the ruins of the divine war, and ultimately attracting the attention of the true creator.
The moment the eye behind the shadowy veil, a symbol of the true creator, appeared, the projection of the "Abyss Above the Death Note" shook violently, as if it had encountered a natural enemy. The enormous red eye suddenly blinked, and the surrounding projections slowly faded, attempting to escape from this place at top speed.
At the same time, the power of the various gods gathered in the sky seemed to have suddenly found a target, all of which was poured into the spear in Bernadette's hand, making the spear even more divine, and making it difficult for Bernadette to hold.
Just as Bernadette could no longer hold on and couldn't help but let go, an arm that seemed to be made of black gauze and could change shape emerged from the shadow of the true creator. It took away the Spear of Longinus, which was becoming increasingly violent and seemed to come alive, and then thrust the spear at the red giant eye.
By the time Bernadette reacted, the spear, imbued with an aura of destruction, had already pierced the giant red eye. Black energy, like flowing water, rapidly spread from the ancient spear throughout the entire eye, making it appear as if it were a piece of shattered glass, ready to break at any moment.
"roar----"
The fierce roar echoed through the sky, causing the angel Bernadette to lose her mind on the spot, leaving her completely blank.
Below, whether it was the "Golden Dream," the pirate ship under Agarito's command, or the adventure ship trying to escape in the distance, everyone's ears bled and they fainted at this moment. The higher the sequence, the more severe the injury!
Only the arm formed by the true creator did not react. The instant the Spear of Longinus disappeared from its hand, it directly pierced the wound left behind, burying the entire arm inside, but then immediately pulled it out, as if taking out something that looked like a doll.
Once the arm got what it wanted, the giant red eye could no longer be maintained and vanished as if it had never existed.
Meanwhile, at the end of the Misty Sea.
The abyss, seemingly representing the eternal destiny of all things, suddenly began to shake violently. Cries of pain echoed through the sky, and countless marine creatures around perished as a result. Those that did not die were not spared either, all transforming into grotesque demons who devoutly worshipped in the direction of the abyss.
Southern Continent, Star Plateau.
"God's wrath!" Shea suddenly let out a painful roar, and a red curtain suddenly appeared in the bright sky.
At the heart of the backdrop scene is a mummy wrapped in yellowed bandages, its sleeves pierced by countless brown branches, suspended in mid-air.
His belly was swollen high, constantly rising and falling, in a continuous cycle.
The mummy's mouth kept opening and closing, emitting incessant, inaudible screams. But this time, as it screamed, a faint smile, as if it had seen hope, appeared on its lips.
But soon the branches stuck to his body began to move like snakes, and brown blood gushed from the wounds, causing the faint smile that had just appeared to vanish again, as if it had never existed.
Robert, who was discussing with Mr. Azik how to hunt Duncan Augustus, suddenly frowned and looked towards the Misty Sea, somewhat puzzled.
Meanwhile, Evan, who was discussing fleet training matters with the others, felt that the chaos of the world was intensifying, and looked in the direction of the God War Ruins with a puzzled expression.
What happened? Why do I smell a storm brewing?
Bernadette was, after all, an angel. Although she was affected by the final roar of the projection of the "Abyss,"—
He was the first to recover from the incident, and the eyes behind the curtain had disappeared.
After regaining consciousness, Bernadette glanced at the crew of the Golden Dream and found that most of them were just unconscious, but she did not wake them up immediately.
Instead, he looked around at the other pirate ships and found Gehrman Sparrow, who was also unconscious, on one of them.
She took a step and appeared in front of Gehrman Sparrow, where she found an Apostle of Desire whose head was smashed to pieces, beyond dead, and who looked like a demon.
"Clearly, Gehrman Sparrow infiltrated the enemy's lair, snatched a tooth from the jaws of death, and killed a fellow Apostle of Desire."
Bernadette ignored the demon and instead slapped her hand, causing several pea vines to appear. As if they were alive, they wrapped around Gehrman Sparrow's hands and feet, then hung him upside down and shook him up and down until he regained his senses.
"Wait—wait—wait—wait, stop shaking me—stop shaking me, I—I—I—I'm awake!"
Upon waking up and realizing his predicament, Klein cried out anxiously, bewildered.
Only then did Bernadette coldly order the pea vines to stop swaying, but Gehrman remained hanging upside down.
Sparrow simply pulled him up to eye level and asked seriously, "Tell me clearly, Mr. Fool, what is your purpose in having me cooperate with you to hunt the Undead King?"
'
Klein tugged at his tightly bound limbs, wisely refraining from setting the fire. Instead, he craned his neck, trying to look Bernadette in the eye, and carefully asked, "What...what purpose? I don't understand what you're saying. What happened just now? Why did I suddenly faint?"
Bernadette had her own methods of "lie detection," and she sensed that the person opposite her seemed to really know nothing.
Of course, because of the existence of "The Fool" behind him, who has the ability to "fool" others, she still cannot rule out the possibility that Gehrman Sparrow is an imposter.
"The Ruins of Gods War may be special, so the 'Death Scream' just summoned a projection of the 'Abyss' by sacrificing Agarito from past generations!"
"hiss----"
Klein gasped, tilting his head in shock as he looked at Bernadette.
Having possessed the "Abyss" blasphemous card, he knew all too well what the "Abyss" truly was.
Those are gods standing at the pinnacle of the extraordinary world! Gods, gods! Not angels! There is a qualitative difference between the two.
If angels have the power to create natural disasters and destroy nations, then gods are synonymous with the destruction of the world, not to mention the legendary abyss that can defile everything.
"Are you alright? How did you get out of danger?"
Klein now understood why Bernadette had hung him upside down to question him; she was questioning Mr. Fool's motives for orchestrating this operation!
On one hand, she suspected that "Mr. Fool" was going to cooperate with "The Abyss," and on the other hand, she resented that "Mr. Fool" was using her as a pawn in his scheme.
Klein was at a loss for words to explain, so he could only inquire about what had just happened and how Bernadette had escaped danger.
Upon hearing this, Bernadette understood Klein's intentions, but her expression finally softened slightly. However, she still did not put him down, and continued to recount what had just happened while he was hanging upside down.
I never imagined that the "Death Scam" would have such a purpose in constantly fabricating scams about the "Fountain of Youth".
This operation wasn't our ambush of the Deathcaller at all; it was the Abyss plotting against Bernadette, trying to corrupt an angel.
Although Bernadette did not elaborate, it must have been very difficult for her to escape the temptation of the "Abyss". Could it be the effect of the "005" seal artifact in her possession?
The true creator has appeared, and it sounds like a premeditated operation!
Could this hunt for the Undead King be guided by a true creator?
What does the true Creator want to do? While dealing with the Rose School and targeting the Mother Tree of Desire, does He also intend to establish the formidable enemy of the "Dark Side of the Universe"?
As Bernadette recounted what had just happened, Klein's mouth gaped wider and wider, unable to close.
The complexity of this matter far exceeded his previous expectations, leaving him completely baffled.
However shocked he was, he knew that the most important thing now was to quell Bernadette's suspicions about "Mr. Fool," which would lead to the deal involving the Roselle diary later.
Klein thought for a moment, then strained his waist to straighten himself up and swore to Bernadette.
"My proposal to plot against the Immortal King was absolutely not instructed by Mr. Fool; it was something I wanted to do myself."
The "Abyss" blasphemous card was not a gift from Mr. Fool, but my own possession!
To absolve Mr. Fool of any involvement in this action, Klein directly altered the ownership of the Abyss card in the eyes of others.
"Is it yours?"
Bernadette was equally astonished by Klein's explanation. Such a precious item belonged to someone who had just advanced to Sequence 5 and was previously only a Sequence 6 Extraordinary. This seemed counterintuitive, as items of this level should usually accumulate in the hands of higher-ranking individuals.
Bernadette thought about her previous conversation with the other party about "hunting the Undead King" and felt that she might have some kind of cognitive bias.
"That's right, that blasphemous card is mine, so it was I who decided to plot this with you, without reporting to Mr. Fool beforehand!"
Klein used the Faceless Man's ability to control facial expressions to suppress his shame and tell lies.
Bernadette fell silent, finally realizing that her perception had been flawed.
When Klein took out the "Abyss Path Desecration Card," she subconsciously assumed that the Fool was behind this action because of the scarcity of Desecration Cards, thus ignoring the fact that it was actually a collaboration between her and Gehrman Sparrow.
By this point, Bernadette had already come to believe what the other person had said, but just to be on the safe side, she asked one more question.
"How did you obtain the blasphemous card from the Abyss pathway? After all, you are an extraordinary being from the Diviner pathway."
Upon hearing this, Klein breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that his guidance had worked and that Bernadette had actually come to believe him. So, he pressed his advantage and quickly said, "I killed the demon who assassinated Duke Negan, and that blasphemous card was my spoils of war."
Afterwards, Mr. Fool didn't inquire about it, and the card remained in my hand.
Upon hearing this, Bernadette immediately believed Klein's words, because she was in Backlund at the time and had learned the most comprehensive details from Robert and Evan, knowing that the demon was killed by the "Black Emperor," and that the person in front of her was the "Black Emperor."
I hadn't thought much about it before, but now it seems that Mr. Fool had already interfered in George III's affairs a long time ago. After all, according to Robert and Evan's judgment, the organization behind the scenes that orchestrated the killing of Duke Negan was the same mysterious organization supporting George III.
After realizing she had misunderstood Gehrman Sparrow, Bernadette didn't hesitate because of pride. Instead, she snapped her fingers, had Peavine straighten him up, and placed him on the ground. She even straightened his tie for him.
"I misunderstood you, Mr. Fool. I apologize to both of you!"
As Klein smoothed out the wrinkles in his clothes, he avoided looking directly at Bernadette and said, barely suppressing his embarrassment, "It's alright. What happened just now could easily have caused you to misunderstand. Once the misunderstanding is cleared up, everything will be fine."
