Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 395 A loving father and a filial daughter
Bernadette looked at the mausoleum, and her blue eyes like the sea suddenly became extremely deep, like the sea surface before a storm.

Knowing that her father had been contaminated, it was impossible for her to rashly open the door of the mausoleum without making any preparations.

She needed to peek into the river of fate and predict her next move—

Sequence 3 of the Hermit Path is the Master of Prophecy. Just like the name of the potion, this sequence of Beyonders possesses extremely powerful prophetic abilities. And now that Bernadette has been promoted to Sequence 2 Sage, she has also been able to take a step further in her prophetic abilities.

To some extent, she can indeed make predictions about 'god' level powers.

Silently, she 'saw' a scene:
The majestic and solemn dark mausoleum shook noticeably, and the heavy and tall stone door opened.

Then, a huge black arm stretched out of the stone door.

The arm was similar in size to the trees on the island, and judging from its color and state, it looked more like part of a shadow. However, it was not a thin layer, but was filled with flesh and blood, making it look extremely strange.

It supported the ground with its elbows and moved forward with difficulty, as if trying to pull out the larger and more terrifying part that followed.

boom!
The 'Eye of Peeping Secrets' suddenly shattered!
As if she had suffered unbearable harm, Bernadette closed her eyes in pain, silently resisting the unknown pollution.

And perhaps because of her prophecy, the island became aware of the invasion of outsiders and fiercely resisted it.

Simply put, the island is alive.

The huge dark green and almost black trees waved their branches, pulled out their roots one after another, and then, like humans, moved towards the direction of the mausoleum!
The entire primeval forest came alive!

The densely packed trees that almost blocked out the sky came like a tide.

In the living forest, a huge red dragon with flames flowing on its skin quickly flew high into the sky, and an eight-legged demon wolf began to run wildly between the trees...

All the extraordinary and mutated creatures on this island became restless and headed towards the mausoleum.

They are like the island's 'immune cells', rushing to eliminate foreign pathogens that invade the island.

"Be careful……"

Bernadette, knowing that she had made a big mistake, hurriedly spoke out to remind him, and forced herself to open her eyes despite the discomfort, tears of blood streaming from the corners of her eyes.

But the 'lush' forest had already come before them, and the shadows it cast completely blocked out the sun's rays, as if the entire world was left with only dark shadows, as if the tide rushing onto the shore was about to swallow them up completely.

And in that darkness, whispers followed, covering the sky and the earth.

The whispers of darkness were like a mother's earnest teachings, telling them how precious life is.

An idea almost uncontrollably arose in Bernadette's mind - giving birth to life represents the rebirth of hope.

In the past hundreds of years of her life, there had never been a moment like this when she longed for the most primitive mating and reproduction.

The invisible whisper even polluted her, an angel, without her realizing it!
Bernadette was in unbearable pain and tried to transform herself into the purest information flow creature, using her own mythical creature form to escape the pollution of the whispers, the strong desire to have sex, and the life that was growing in her body.

And just then, she heard the ringing of a bell.

Jingle bell bell~!

The clear ringing of the bell dispelled the whispers and restored peace to Bernadette's mind, which had been affected by the pollution and even her sanity was not clear.

She instinctively looked in the direction where the bell came from, trying to get closer to completely free herself from the influence of the pollution.

Then she saw the embers.

He held a bell in his hand, and the sweet sound helped Bernadette resist the erosion of whispers, and the light also bloomed!

Jingle bell bell~!

Amid the melodious ringing of bells, the light quickly spread and expanded in all directions, covering the embers and Bernadette, followed by the ferocious forest, the whispers in the forest, the various supernatural creatures rushing towards them, and the mausoleum in the belly of the mountain.

Finally, the entire island was covered by the light.

Bernadette tried to speak, but no sound came out.

The world was extremely quiet, and everything shrouded in white light was invisible.

She could clearly see everything around her. The withered branches almost reached her face. But they just stopped there, motionless, as if frozen. At this moment, it seemed as if even time had stopped.

Her world was left with only a touch of brilliant gray, which was neither beautiful nor holy, but bright enough!

Huh~!

The wind whistled past, as if something followed the light and expanded to the entire island, and then,

boom!
In the brilliant light, the shock wave swept everything.

Bernadette could see the dead branches in front of her being swallowed up by the 'invisible', then crushed, destroyed, and slowly disappearing in the air. Then came the 'tree men' connected by the dead branches, and then the entire forest, and the red dragons soaring in the sky, and the magic wolves running in the jungle. Everything was enveloped and annihilated by it.

Snapped!
The light quickly explored inward and returned to Ember's hand, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

However, when Bernadette looked around, she could only see flat but extremely desolate land.

The ground was bare, not even a single weed was there, let alone a forest.

It seems that nothing can be higher than the soles of their shoes except themselves.

Bernadette subconsciously looked towards the mausoleum, as if she was worried that the mausoleum itself would be destroyed.

But when she looked up, the mausoleum was still standing not far away.

However, the mountain that originally enveloped the mausoleum had disappeared at this moment, as if it had been annihilated in the shock wave.

Embers, Bernadette, mausoleum.

Apart from the barren land beneath their feet, they were the only things left on the island.

Bernadette looked at the young man beside her, her lips slightly opened as if she wanted to say something, but she finally fell silent.

Yu Jin put away the Holy Bell of Yourshika and walked slowly towards the mausoleum.

Bernadette followed behind him, watching him approach the stone door of the mausoleum step by step, and placed her hands on the two heavy stone doors.

Bernadette reminded in a low voice:
"There is something behind the door, and it is related to the contamination just now."

For Bernadette, the 'creature' that ran out of the mausoleum in the prophecy posed a deadly threat, so she instinctively rejected the idea of ​​opening the stone door directly.

But for Ember, this may not even be a trouble.

So Bernadette didn't try to stop it, she just gave a reminder.

Rumble!
With a heavy thumping sound, the stone door of the Black Emperor's mausoleum was slowly pushed open, revealing a narrow gap that was only wide enough for one person to pass through.

Through the gap, Bernadette saw the interior of the Black Emperor's mausoleum.

The light from the sky filtered through the gap, enough to illuminate a corner of the mausoleum, but in reality it failed to illuminate anything.

The interior of the mausoleum was still dark, and one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.

Bernadette frowned slightly. She saw nothing and nothing came out.

It was quiet all around, with only the sound of sloshing water - that was the sea water rushing in from all around after the island was flattened.

Yu Jin seemed to have no suspicion at all and walked into the mausoleum. Bernadette hesitated for a moment and followed him.

But the moment they entered the mausoleum, a shadow suddenly jumped out from the shadows inside the door and covered the embers in the blink of an eye!

The shadow seemed to have a life of its own, expanding into an illusory human form and pouncing towards the embers, trying to grant him a new life as a mother.

Bernadette responded quickly, and an endless stream of information turned into waves and rushed towards the shadow, trying to block it inside the door.

Because there was a similar scene in her prophecy.

Although for some reason what appeared was not the dark arm, but the shadow in front of him.

But it’s essentially the same!

But just when Bernadette was about to succeed, suddenly...

Her body was completely unable to move, as if it was firmly bound in place by invisible shackles.

Then, a pair of illusory and sacred white wings naturally spread out behind her, as if she was passively resisting something.

The next second, the white feathers on the angel wings fell one by one, and deformed, thin feathers grew in the air.
The limbs were covered with fur, and the gaps created by the overlapping feathers opened one after another, seeming to become countless eyes.

The deformed feathers then let out a crisp laugh, and the "clucking" sound echoed in her ears.

They all came to life and turned into miniature 'winged people'.

This reminded Bernadette of some fairy tales her father had told her, in which there were always elves no bigger than a thumb.

As the thought flashed through her mind, Bernadette felt her right eye begin to itch.

The eyelashes of that eye grew rapidly and turned into tiny arms, which stretched out to her face and tried hard to pull out the eyeball.

"I see it! I see it!" The blood vessels in Bernadette's right eye bulged and she uttered a childish and cheerful voice on her own, as if she had gained her own intelligence and consciousness.

Almost at the same time, Bernadette's left ear drooped down suddenly, covering her ear canal.

"I don't want to listen! I don't want to listen!" the ear shouted loudly in a slightly sharp voice.

If Bernadette hadn't used her spiritual sense to perceive, she would have thought that there was a little girl next to her, covering her ears and stamping her feet and screaming.

Without giving her any room to buffer, every cell and every hair in her body began to scream. They screamed to leave her body and gain the new life given by God.

"We are all independent lives, why should we depend on you?" Her hair was roaring.

"We have been reborn, we want independence!" Her insides were roaring.

"Let me out! Let me out!" It felt as if countless bugs were crawling under her skin.

Her whole being, her whole body came alive.

This is new life!
For Bernadette in this state, it was already difficult enough just to fight against the 'living' body.

But even so, she was still distractedly observing the embers nearby.

He was closer to the shadow, and theoretically would be more severely affected by the 'rebirth' than Bernadette.

But in fact, Bernadette couldn't see any signs of mutation in him.

The twisted shadow enveloped the ember, trying to penetrate more of it into the ember's body. Even Bernadette could feel the shadow's anxiety, and it was eager to bring the ember back to life.

But no matter how the shadow penetrates, the ember remains firm and unaffected.

He just calmly raised his palm and strangled the shadow's neck.

"newborn?"

Yu Jin shook his head with some regret:
“It helps a little, but not much.”

The Fallen Mother Goddess is an Outer God, but she is only an Outer God after all.

“He” possesses strength far beyond that of Sequence 0, but due to the existence of the barrier, the power he can infiltrate into this world is ultimately limited.

It was like the power projected from this island, which barely reached the level of Sequence 1. However, unless the barrier was further weakened, this direct projection of power would only be able to reach this level at best.

For Bernadette, who was only a Sequence 2, if she came alone, it was almost certain that she would be contaminated by the Fallen Mother Goddess.

But luckily, Bernadette wasn’t the only one who came.

There are also Embers, and The Fool.

Yu Jin actually hoped that the Fallen Mother Goddess could give him a new life. This was almost the best solution at this stage - to use the new life to completely separate the other him, instead of invading and hindering each other like now.

Snapped!
The shadow was casually thrown aside, and He struggled to stand up, but ignored the flames burning on His body.

Ahhhhh~!

Under the scorching flames, the shadow became more and more distorted. He, who had just stood up, fell to the ground in pain with a distorted scream, like a victim struggling to survive in a sea of ​​fire.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bernadette once again transformed into the purest information flow creature.

Those 'activated' parts that represented 'rebirth' were stripped out of her body, allowing her body to return to its pure state.

When she regained her human nature, the stripped 'information' also changed.

There were eyelashes that had transformed into arms, and there were also clumps of flesh and blood that were constantly wriggling and growing eyes and limbs.

But she still couldn't move, her body was still suppressed by the 'rules'.

She looked up at Yu Jin, who was still unaffected and was walking towards the mausoleum step by step.

Without any hesitation, a spirit flew out from behind Bernadette, took out a ritual silver dagger from the pocket of her clothes, shortened her boots, tore her trouser legs, cut off her coat and shirt, and plucked the feathers of her cocked hat.

As she completed this series of actions, her body regained its freedom and was no longer oppressed by the restraints.

Bernadette lowered her brows slightly, she was not happy about it.

This is obvious.

This is Roselle's mausoleum, with two completely different powers - the rebirth of the Outer Gods, and the rules that belong to Roselle.

And this also means that Russell, her father, is really here.

She didn't look at the shadow burned by the flames, and quickly kept up with the embers.

Without using her ability to "see secrets", everything here appeared clearly before her eyes:

The interior of the 'Black Emperor's' mausoleum is empty, with nothing but dark walls and a high platform in the center.

On the platform, there was a chair that seemed to be prepared for giants. It seemed to be made of iron, and the surface was engraved with complex and twisted strange patterns. The top of the backrest extended upward in the shape of a crown.

At this moment, there was no figure on this heavy and huge chair, as if it was waiting for its emperor to return.

"Why is it empty?"

There was a trace of confusion in Bernadette's eyes. The 'rules' that existed here clearly told her that the owner of the throne was here, the 'Black Emperor' was here, but why was the seat empty?
