Chapter 208: Child

"I am a child of the 'Bound God'." Sua's eyes were devoid of spirit, until this sentence was thoroughly etched into his heart.

"Very good." Chumen nodded in satisfaction. He turned his head to look; outside was Reinette Tinekerr. This Angel was rushing here, but Her speed was like slow motion, approaching this place at a very slow pace.

In this space bound by the Shroud, Chumen had accelerated the flow of time within. Up to now, Sua had already completed a deep transformation, but in the outside world, perhaps not even a single second had passed.

"After I leave, you will forget all of this."

She would forget, but the mark would not dissipate; it would merely shift into a false state.

Chumen glanced at Sua, then directly withdrew his power, dissipating without a trace like a Dream Fantasy Bubble.

The flow of time instantly returned to normal; no one could detect anything amiss.

"Roar!" Sua's eyes instantly cleared. He let out an angry roar and, utilizing the power of the "Monster" within his body, his two arms instantly tore open the enclosed space formed by the Shroud.

Because of the will of the "Bound God", he had always been unable to fully become a "Monster", but he was still able to mobilize its power.

The Shroud returned to Reinette Tinekerr's hands. Sua glanced at Roselle, who had already been eroded by starlight, and his figure directly transformed into countless streaks of crazily raging light and shadow, leaving this place immediately.

The objective had been initially achieved, and the God would not blame Her.

And in Her eyes, this was actually a war between a God and the "Bound", while She and Reinette Tinekerr were merely executors for their respective deities, playing a game centered around a soul that did not belong to this era.

Now, Her side held the advantage. She only needed to wait until She fully became a true "Monster", and the Temperance Faction of the Rose School of Thought would be thoroughly wiped out.

And the "Bound" who had lost their believers would surely be thoroughly eroded by the "Mother Tree of Desire", who was even greater than a True God, and become a vessel.

"Hiss!" Sua's final hiss echoed in the Spirit World. Reinette Tinekerr watched all of this in silence, returned to Her normal form, and departed silently.

She had already completed the task given to Her by the God.

"Teacher." Bethel also returned to Chumen's side at this moment.

"How was it?"

"I intercepted Antigonus," Bethel replied.

"As expected," Chumen shook his head. The current "Half-Fool" already had a sufficiently close connection to "Sefirah Castle" to faintly perceive the aura of "Sefirah Castle".

"Don't worry about Him; it is not yet time for 'Sefirah Castle' to appear."

"Eh?" Chumen turned his head and saw Roselle, whose belly had begun to bulge and was about to give birth.

"Hehe!" He reached out, pierced through Space, and pulled Roselle and the others over from the ruins.

"Ah!" Roselle let out a sharp, terrified scream.

"I... I..." Roselle looked at his own bulging belly, his worldview suffering an unimaginable shock.

"You are fine, and you are pregnant; it is likely a boy." Chumen pressed his hand against Roselle's to probe slightly, then pointed a finger to manifest the appearance of the child in Roselle's belly.

It was a freakish infant with all four limbs fully formed and an exceptionally large head. Looking closely, one could even see tree-like patterns on the child's skin, flickering with an eerie luster.

"Gulp!" Even Roselle, who could be called fearless, was scared into a cold sweat. He braced himself and forced a smile, saying, "Can you remove it for me?"

"Are you sure?" Chumen raised an eyebrow. "This is your own flesh and blood."

"Sure! I'm sure!" Roselle had figured it out; this capitalist had ill intentions.

"What a pity." Chumen looked full of regret. "I actually quite like children."

A child's pure, flawless soul and unconstrained imagination were a perfect match for "Dream".

Of course, this refers to normal children.

Chumen did not delay any longer. He pointed a finger at Roselle's protruding belly, and the formed fetus directly turned into a Dream Fantasy Bubble. Within the Dream Fantasy Bubble, a phantom starlight was held in Chumen's hand.

Hum... At this moment, Chumen subconsciously looked at the sky.

The dark clouds that had not yet fully dispersed were instantly pierced by the starlight.

Stars appearing in broad daylight!

At this moment, many Astronomers discovered this star whose radiance had surged; it completely exceeded the normal scope.

But before these Astronomers could study the anomaly of this star, a black velvet curtain completely covered the star's light.

That was the "Goddess".

Chumen saw that curtain of night and nodded slightly; Amanises was still very reliable.

At this time, the various Gods were likely watching him as well.

"How strange? I set the location in Bayam; did Leodero actually hold back?"

Such a thought flashed by, and Chumen paid it no more mind.

But the reality was that Leodero had not held back.

Crack!

A bolt of lightning struck Karate on the head, causing his body to tremble slightly and his hair to stand on end.

"Is the God... blaming me for handling things poorly?" This "Sea King" was once again filled with panic.

On the other side, Roselle's abdomen had already returned to its normal size.

"I have to thank you for using this magical method instead of directly cutting open my belly to take that monster out." Roselle's voice was still somewhat strained.

"This world is truly too crazy..."

"You'll get used to it." Chumen felt the same way.

"What was that just now?" Roselle pressed, having caught the look Chumen gave the sky.

"Some knowledge lacks sufficient status to support it; merely knowing it is a form of Corruption." Chumen shook his head.

Roselle fell silent, his mindset undergoing some subtle changes.

"It was my own arrogance." Roselle's expression was tense, only relaxing after a long while.

Chumen looked at Roselle with surprise; to have such an realization made this suffering not in vain.

"I am still full of confidence in myself, but I will be more cautious in the future!" Roselle hung the Silver Medal back around his neck, as if he had completed a sublimation of his life.

"Let's go, that 'Sea King' is going to catch up." Chumen turned his head to look at the lightning raging in the distant jungle.

Now they had returned to the sailing ship, and the crew had already begun to weigh anchor.

"Good!" Roselle was revived at full health and began to mobilize the Magical Item to start the sailing ship.

"Where are we going next? Still the Southern Continent?"

"We aren't going there anymore; we're heading straight into the Mist Sea to search for the 'Abyss'!"

Chumen looked at the wisp of starlight in his hand and changed his mind.

He had already provoked the "Mother Tree of Desire" once, and the arrangements on Sua were also perfect, so there was no need to go to the Southern Continent again.

"Good!" Chumen was the employer, so what he said went. Roselle turned the ship's bow and headed toward the Mist Sea.
