Chapter 873

Deep within the primitive island, inside the permeated white mist, Pailer's twisted face saw the gate of the "Black Emperor" mausoleum open suddenly.

A huge figure wearing black armor and draped in a gorgeous cloak walked out majestically, with rolling torrents of white mist flowing between his body and Pailer.

Roselle Gustav... Pailer's face shrank instinctively, and the mist that Pailer had turned into collapsed inward slightly.

Roselle didn't even look at this "Vortex Weaver," walking step by step into the air, walking to the edge of a certain abstract and illusory strange world, like a floating mountain peak.

During this process, the sky dimmed, and the remaining clouds were all twisted, as if something had begun to activate.

Roselle looked into the distance, raised his arms, and made a sound with a magnificent voice:

"Citizens of Intis, your emperor has returned!"

Suddenly, those clouds high up were pushed together by invisible force, circling downward, forming another terrifying vortex.

The center of this vortex was Roselle Gustav.

At the same time, the citizens of Intis, those who were still using the order brought by Roselle, all heard the voice of "the emperor's return." Most were blank, suspecting that their ears had problems after the previous explosion of strong light, while a few changed their faces, not daring to believe their own guesses.

And in the far east of the sky, a ray of light lit up rapidly, trembling crazily, as if wanting to cross a long distance and throw itself into Roselle's embrace, which brought about various twists.

Behind this light, three more rays of light emerged, as if being pushed by invisible force, forced to go over in advance.

In different parts of the world, some people clearly walked out of the door but found themselves back home, some saw the bright and glorious church become dark and silent, some habitually drank milk but didn't notice they were using their nostrils, and this didn't bring any harm.

Those long-abandoned compulsory education schools were also strangely brightly lit, as if there were still many students listening to lectures quietly.

Pallez, who was searching for the loopholes in the gaze of "Fate" using his own "Time Worm," found places that could be utilized, but the "Time Worm" he sent out didn't listen to his orders.

Lady "Magician," who was roaming again with Lady "Hela" and Miss "Justice," found that she hadn't approached the target location, but instead had left the sea. Her eyes appeared before Lady "Judgment" and the little boy Will Auceptin, who was being held by Lady "Judgment."

The points of light presented within the white mist were not greatly affected, just dimmed slightly. The "Vortex Weaver" Pailer was first startled, then revealed a joyful expression.

She hadn't expected Roselle to stand out, forcibly returning to life before the ritual ended and re-ascending to the "Black Emperor" god position, letting the corresponding "Uniqueness" and three Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics return on their own. Such a development was something she hadn't dared to dream of, and she hadn't even thought of letting the servant of fate Higgdon weave it, but this was a good thing. For her, and for the great existence "Indefinite Mist" she worshipped, it was an absolutely good thing!

"The harvest this time will be incomparably huge!" Pailer had just produced such a thought when the great existence "Indefinite Mist," which she was connected to with the help of the ritual, transmitted a certain emotion, making the connection between the two closer, making the permeated white mist more thick and more ever-changing.

Pailer suddenly cast her gaze toward the villa in Trier, toward the twisted blood shadow revealed within the holy radiance and white mist.

Her voice became ethereal and she opened her mouth:

"The reward prepaid by the Indulgence Sect of the 'Rose School of Thought' is the 'Shadow of the Beauty Goddess,' which is a sealed artifact evolved from the Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristic of the 'Moon' path, and the one willing to pay the price for this is Lady Helter of the 'Night Travelers'."

Accompanied by Pailer's "Language of Order" echoing, another point of light quickly expanded and grew larger.

This point of light reflected a secret room. Standing in the middle of the secret room was a female statue with blurred facial features. The walls all around were covered with children with bent limbs and bird-claw shapes, and below were piled one after another human beings with dull expressions.

At this time, a figure stood before the female statue. The figure's stomach was bulging high, her face was plump, her eyebrows were beautiful and her nose was straight, her emerald eyes were as crystal clear as gems, her brown hair was coiled high, and she wore a simple and loose white robe, looking like a pregnant woman.

A lady pregnant with a god!

The twisted blood shadow located inside the villa in Trier, with the help of the white mist, penetrated the corresponding point of light and appeared beside Pailer, then walked toward the point of light where Lady Helter was located, looking like it wanted to return to its mother's embrace.

It walked very slowly, affected and twisted by Roselle's return to life.

"My lady, you can begin." Pailer could not change the situation of the "Shadow of the Beauty Goddess" and could only ask Lady Helter of the "Night Travelers" to give the price in advance.

Helter nodded lightly, turned her body, faced the female statue in the middle of the secret room, and chanted the incantation in a low and vague voice.

The incantation quickly neared its end. The bird-claw babies crawling on the wall all became illusory, turning into rays of light and throwing themselves into the abdomen of the female statue, while those dull human beings piled up in the secret room exploded one after another, returning to the great mother in the form of flesh and blood.

That female statue gradually became stained with crimson radiance, as if it had turned into a human-shaped red moon.

Helter then turned her body back and made a gesture of holding a baby toward the "Black Emperor" Roselle in mid-air.

She shouted in ancient Giant language:

"Return, mother's child!"

From Roselle's body, strands of blood-red moonlight seeped out, breaking away from his body and throwing themselves into the point of light where the female statue was located.

These were the pollutions that forced Roselle to seek death after becoming a god but still failed to shake off!

Now, they were all extracted, no longer affecting Roselle's state, no longer attempting to pollute him.

The problem that had plagued Roselle for over a hundred years was solved so easily, but Roselle's current state needed to use the pollution of the "Indefinite Mist" and the characteristics that were more compatible with himself to balance the pollution of the "Great Mother." Extracting either side would lead to the collapse of the balance!

In just the blink of an eye, Roselle was filled with white mist. These mists twisted the speed of passing away and the distance between the two points grafted together, gradually eroding this emperor and wanting to completely pollute him.

Bernadette, inside the "Black Emperor" mausoleum, saw this scene, her expression no longer as calm as it was outside the mausoleum before. She whispered urgently:

"Adam, what about your promise?"

Roselle was not affected by the change in his own state. This seemed to have been within his expectations long ago. He still opened his arms, waiting for the "Black Emperor's" Uniqueness and three Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics to return.

—This is a characteristic possessed only by a "Black Emperor" true god. Once returned to life, regardless of whether the corresponding Uniqueness and three Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics have been controlled by others, or have been prepared and consumed, they can be forcibly summoned back, directly merging into himself, without needing extra rituals, and without needing to be made into potions!

Strands of crimson moonlight flew up from all over the primitive island and condensed with the pollution extracted from Roselle's body, forming something like a miniature red moon.

Pailer's illusory and ethereal voice sounded in time:

"Lady Helter requested the 'Great Mother' to take back the pollution on Roselle Gustav. This pollution will be used as an exchange item for the 'Shadow of the Beauty Goddess,' given to the Indulgence Sect of the 'Rose School of Thought'..."

Lady Helter caught the miniature red moon that was trying to return to its mother's embrace and pushed it out of the point of light where she was located.

The miniature red moon entered the white mist manufactured by Pailer and slowly flew toward another point of light.

That was not the point of light where the "Shadow of the Beauty Goddess" walked out, but the point of light where the blurred figure was suspended and a strange giant tree guarded.

The "Vortex Weaver" Pailer endured her inner excitement and once again examined the scene of Topsay of the "Gourmet School of Thought" destroying the sea seal.

The next second, at the bottom of that sea area, strands of thin gray mist seeped out, cooperating with Topsay, who was in the form of a nine-headed snake.

…………

Trier, botanical garden.

Hearing the voice of the emperor's return transmitted from afar, Forsyth's lake-blue eyes suddenly widened, both shocked and blank, and also uncontrollably produced a bit of joyful emotion.

At the same time, her spiritual intuition told her that the order here had been twisted, including the "Ring-in-the-Middle" effect.

And as long as there was a place of distortion, it meant they could escape this place without triggering the "Ring-in-the-Middle"!

"Where is the twisted place?" Forsyth had just flashed such a thought when she saw Yu Jianna take out a mirror and quickly do "Magic Mirror Divination."

Yu Jianna also had similar intuition.

The two Higgdons were being attacked crazily by Lu Mian, who was holding the "Sword of Courage" and completely ignoring the abnormalities around him, and could not take care of the two "Witches" for the time being.

Likewise, in front of Vazan Sanson, there was only Louis, who was short and had not yet run over, trying to interfere with him.

This "Ring-in-the-Middle" decisively pressed toward his own temple, letting the strange radiance condensed out penetrate his head.

In the intense pain that even "Ascetics" could hardly endure, he was instantly near death.

The "Ring-in-the-Middle" effect was triggered accordingly.

Lu Mian, Anthony, and the others had their thoughts clearly blurred, then found that they had returned to the intact wooden hut, returning to the state when the "Sword of Courage" and "Black Tears" forehead ornament had not yet been taken out.

The "Magic Mirror Divination" that Forsyth and Yu Jianna wanted to do was not completed in time.

Lu Mian subconsciously took out the "Black Tears" forehead ornament again, wanting to throw it to Forsyth, but the moment he gripped this sealed artifact, he directly sensed the mirror world, sensed the special one, and sensed the summoning from "0—01" in Morora.

"Can it be sensed like this? It wasn't possible before...

"The abnormality just now twisted the order here and the effect of the 'Ring-in-the-Middle,' bringing about such a change? That is to say, it's possible to leave through the mirror world without triggering the 'Ring-in-the-Middle'?" Lu Mian instantly had a judgment.

He grabbed the time before Vazan Sanson committed suicide again and brought a destined ending, and shouted to Forsyth and the others:

"Grab me!"

Time was tight, he couldn't give any explanation, he could only hope that his team members believed in him.

Forsyth and the others had questions, but still grabbed Lu Mian's body again, including Louis.

The next second, Lu Mian, with the help of the "Black Tears" forehead ornament and the glass window of the wooden hut, came to the illusory and dark mirror world, randomly choosing a tunnel and shuttling toward the distance.

Sure enough, they didn't trigger the "Ring-in-the-Middle" effect this time.

Just when Lu Jianuo was filled with ecstasy, everyone's vision suddenly blurred, and the world spun.

By the time they recovered their clarity, Lu Mian found that he and the others had come to a world of near-total darkness, standing opposite was Harrison, the visitor from Easter Island.

And around Harrison were placed four lit candles and four portions of staple food, the latter including two loaves of bread, Feynapotter noodles, and rice, all of which were in a moldy state at this time.

Harrison looked at Lu Mian and revealed a slight smile:

"Heavenly Venerable's oracle, you carry the key part of this matter. Trapping you won't have any accidents."

As Harrison spoke, Vazan Sanson, along with Higgdon, also outlined themselves in this darkness.

Vazan Sanson also looked at Lu Mian, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth:

"Don't you know that I was able to escape from the Trier of the Fourth Epoch through a special mirror world?"
