Chapter 437 A Sudden Appearance of 'Triss'
Bernadette hesitated for a moment after hearing Klein's words, but still said frankly, "That's right, I had similar doubts before, and my exploration this time has confirmed those doubts."
"What, Mr. Fool, are you interested in the Giants' Court?"
Klein didn't directly answer Bernadette's question, but instead continued, "It's said that the true creator's divine kingdom was established in the Forsaken Land, where the giants' court is located?"
Bernadette nodded, but said nothing more, waiting for Klein to continue.
In fact, she felt a fleeting glance from the true creator the moment she entered the ruins of the God War.
She was very familiar with that gaze; she had felt it when she was facing Grisha back in Backlund, when she and Evan were targeting Medici.
"That's a bit strange. Although the specifics of the Forsaken Land are unclear, it's still on the real continent. But where is the kingdom of the Seven Gods?"
This was a question that Klein had long pondered, and he believed it might involve the secret that the Seven Gods had not appeared in the world since the Fifth Age. Bernadette was the only angel he could communicate with on equal terms, so Klein struggled with this question for a long time, but still couldn't help but want to find out.
Klein had doubts, and Bernadette should have been happy, but she truly couldn't answer this question, because some knowledge is poisonous. So she could only hint, "Some things only angels are qualified to know. For those extraordinary beings below the angels, if they knew the details, death would be the best outcome."
'
Klein took a deep breath, feeling that this world truly held countless secrets. He nodded solemnly to Bernadette in gratitude.
Bernadette accepted Klein's gratitude without hesitation and disappeared into the cabin.
In Backlund, in the East District, Maxim, covered in blood and wounds and dressed in tattered clothes, leaped out from the dim candlelight of a slum. Before he could even catch his breath, he sensed danger and, with a powerful shovel, smashed through the low slum wall and rushed out.
Just as he left the house, a massive bolt of lightning struck from the sky, engulfing the entire building and instantly destroying everything within a 50-meter radius, without any regard for the sleeping residents nearby.
This seemed completely different from the way the official forces operated, but Maxim was not surprised at all and just kept running away without daring to look back.
Archbishop Simon, dressed in a dark blue robe, and a man wearing a golden mask followed closely behind.
Not long after they left, they seemed to hear a shattering sound, and the destroyed ruins returned to their original state, as if nothing had happened.
Standing on a rooftop not far away, Hugh watched as Wei, carrying a silver-white box in his left hand and an antique-style silver-plated mirror in his right,...
The man on the shore exclaimed, "So this is the sealed artifact 1-63 that played a crucial role in the Great Uprising of Backlund? It truly lives up to its reputation!"
Since Dunn, Smith and their team distinguished themselves during the Backlund Uprising, the effectiveness of Seals 1-63 has become no secret among the major official organizations.
After confirming that Maxim had changed his ways, the Storm Church's MI9, which was in charge of capturing Maxim, decisively sought help from the Church of the Goddess of Night to borrow this sealing artifact.
Only this sealed artifact can minimize the risk of harming innocent people.
The imposing man put the mirror back into the silver-white case, then looked at the somewhat short Hugh Deercha standing beside him, frowning as he said, "Since Maxim is already seriously injured, why not just kill him instead of making us clean up the mess?"
The squad sent by Archbishop Anthony to participate in the capture of Maxim was the Red Gloves squad led by Dunn Smith.
"The main reason is that you gentlemen want to capture Maxim alive and find out his mission in Backlund, so you haven't gone all out to kill him, hoping to bleed him dry little by little!"
Hugh was equally dissatisfied with her superiors' decision, feeling that their actions would only bring too many uncontrollable risks, so she made no attempt to hide her dissatisfaction and complained to Dunn Smith.
Dunn Smith frowned slightly upon hearing this, but his more composed nature prevented him from publicly expressing his dissatisfaction with the demigod. He simply said, "Maxim won't give in so easily. Let's hurry and follow him!"
With that, Dunn Smith led his men in the direction Maxim had left, and Hugh followed closely behind with his own men.
Maxim was indeed not someone who would easily give in. Several times he escaped the pursuit of the two demigods by using the traps he had set in advance during the day and his powerful combat strength, but he was soon found again by some mysterious means.
He spent the entire day escaping pursuit only to be accurately tracked and then hunted again, without a moment's rest.
Moreover, due to the seal 1-63, his previous plan to take hostage the entire iconic building of Backlund and the lives of its people was completely ruined.
At the end of the day, instead of causing Backlund any pain, he found himself in a desperate situation where his spirituality was gradually depleted and his body was covered in wounds.
At this point, Maxim knew he had reached a dead end.
If Evan Horn hadn't stolen my "Sleeping Hat," I would never be in such a sorry state now!
If it weren't for that damned Mr. Z, I would never have ended up in such a desperate situation!
Maxim felt the pain in his body and was filled with resentment.
He felt that apart from underestimating Evan Horn and being tricked into playing a fool, he hadn't done anything wrong during his trip to Backlund. But things just kept spiraling out of control and developing in the worst possible direction.
Fortunately, I completed the cleanup tasks assigned by the adults with high quality and quantity. I believe the Kingdom of Rune now believes the clues I left behind, otherwise they wouldn't be so eager to capture me alive.
With this achievement, even if I didn't complete my previous mission well, I believe the master will not let me truly die.
If I am fortunate enough to become an archangel in the future, I might be able to truly be resurrected!
Maxim still can't forget the legendary heroes of the Fussac Empire who he met with Akhmatova Einhorn.
Just as Maxim had a moment to catch his breath and was lost in thought, another bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, heading straight for the abandoned factory where he was hiding.
Maxim could only transform into several balls of flame once more and flee in all directions.
Just then, after severely injuring him, the black-clad man wearing a golden mask, who had remained silent until now, pointed with both hands and solemnly declared: "This place is forbidden to be transformed into flames!"
Upon hearing this, the dozens of flames scattered in the air coalesced into one, revealing Maxim's figure!
As Maxim revealed himself, at that very moment, blazing blue flames appeared around him, spreading wildly in all directions as if to devour everything around him.
Meanwhile, small flames fell into the scattered parts of the abandoned factory. These parts had all been touched by Maxim and had long been transformed into deadly weapons by him.
Under Maxim's control, these parts were fired like cannonballs at the weaknesses of the two demigods in the air.
If they were hit by these cannonballs or bullets, even if they were both demigods, they might lose half their lives.
Archbishop Simon and the men in black dared not underestimate him and quickly moved away to avoid his attack.
Dunn Smith and Hugh's squad, who had just arrived, were all shocked to see this. Neither the flames that could melt steel nor the powerful cannonballs were things that these low- to mid-level extraordinary beings could withstand.
In the end, Dunn Smith reacted the fastest, turning the sealed object upside down and shining it on his teammates behind him to block the terrifying flames that swept in.
For a moment, Maxim displayed his might, directly forcing back those who were pursuing him, appearing quite imposing.
Just then, a huge tornado suddenly formed and blew towards Maxim, blowing all the flames he released back. The cannonballs that were fired into the air were also blown to the ground. There were a series of explosions and deep craters appeared on the ground.
Maxim was also blown dozens of meters away, crashing into several factory buildings before coming to a stop, covered in dust.
"vomit----"
Maxim's steely body had already been breached. Unable to hold it in, he vomited a mouthful of blood, collapsed there, barely breathing.
The extraordinary beings all have excellent eyesight, and all the official extraordinary beings saw Maxim's disheveled state, but none of them went forward.
Because Maxim has vomited blood in public more than once today, plotting against them.
If it weren't for the fact that the two leading demigods were both very experienced, they might have been ambushed by him.
Even without harming the pursuers, he managed to escape their clutches several times.
"Maxim, you are now at your wit's end and there is no way to escape."
But His Majesty the King has also given instructions that if you are willing to surrender and cooperate with us, His Majesty the King is willing to grant you a pardon and accept you.
And you don't need to worry about being betrayed by Akhmatova Einhorn. Once you sign this contract, he will have no control over your life or death. Think it through!
As he spoke, the man wearing a golden mask took out a contract that radiated dazzling golden light, clearly indicating that it belonged to a very high-ranking person.
With Maxim's keen eyesight, he could naturally tell that the contract was drafted by the "Arbitrator" Angel, but he was very disdainful of it. Just as he was preparing to fight to the death and splatter blood on the other party's face, he suddenly heard a melodious female voice.
"This is Triss. Run to the left and behind where the factory windows are scattered!"
A glimmer of hope instantly appeared in Maxim's eyes.
Triss, it's Triss!
Maxim truly felt he saw hope this time, the hope of living!
Because Triss has managed to remain unharmed despite the relentless pursuit by the Witch Cult and the Augustus family, and has never been caught red-handed.
This means that Triss must have a very strong way of hiding her abilities. This ability may come from her special status as the vessel for the "Primordial Witch" to descend into the gods, or it may be that she has a very precious sealed artifact.
But whatever the reason, it means that he may have completely escaped the pursuit of the official forces of Backlund, and that he can truly survive.
If a person can live, why would they want to die?
Without almost any hesitation, Maxim raised his head and said weakly, "The Empire—only—has—generals who died in battle, no—have—surrendered—."
Maxim deliberately left his words unfinished, then suddenly sprang into action, channeling his almost nonexistent spiritual energy to condense dozens of blazing white flame spears in the air, which he then fired at everyone present before fleeing to his left rear without looking back.
Just as he was about to reach his destination, another voice came from behind: "No moving here!"
Maxim's eyes were bloodshot, veins bulging on his face, and he gritted his teeth, using the brute force of his Iron Blood Knight's steel body to forcefully break through the restrictions imposed by the rules and desperately continue charging toward his destination.
Although the man in black with the golden mask seemed puzzled by Maxim's final attempt to escape, he didn't hesitate. Instead, he extended his right fist and swung it downwards, shouting, "Those who disobey will be punished!"
As soon as he said this, a huge wound appeared on Maxim's chest, almost splitting him in two, and blood splattered all over the ground.
Meanwhile, Archbishop Simon was also flying rapidly toward Maxim under the influence of the gale, with countless indistinct, semi-transparent wind blades appearing around him!
At that moment, Archbishop Simon's expression suddenly changed, and he abruptly stopped in his tracks, retreating rapidly backward.
Even so, grayish-white marks appeared on his body, and the translucent wind blades turned into stone sculptures and fell from the sky.
At the same time, the man in black wearing a golden mask coughed violently, unable to proclaim the rules he had set.
Archbishop Simon had fought against Katarina and Pelle before, and the humiliation of that battle left him with lingering fears. Afterwards, he prepared many methods to target the "witch".
Just as his entire body was about to turn into a stone sculpture, a blazing light suddenly burst forth from his chest, covering his entire body and forcing back the ever-spreading grayish-white light.
Just as Archbishop Simon was getting himself out of trouble, a beautiful woman with a slightly round face, delicate and sweet features, and outstanding temperament suddenly jumped out from among the glass on the ground.
The beautiful woman reached out and grabbed the fallen Maxim, completely ignoring the two demigods she had ambushed. She then carried Maxim through the glass floor into the mirror world and escaped.
Upon seeing this, Dunn Smith quickly used 1-63 to shine a light on the spot where Triss and Maxim had disappeared, but found nothing.
At this moment, the two demigods had also gotten rid of their troubles and were staring at the broken glass on the ground with grim faces, speechless for a moment!
