Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 295 It Broke by Itself
Bernadette thought that she had been impatient again just now, and she might have to recite her name in Roselle, the language used in her father's hometown, in order to open this "blasphemy card".

Or maybe use the two syllables "hometown" as the opening spell...

Unexpectedly, when she spoke her name in ancient Fusak syllables.

She thought the sound would echo in the dark suburban night like before, but at this moment she felt that the bookmark in Star's hand had undergone an unusual change - an unusual change that ordinary people could feel.

An invisible vortex was formed, madly absorbing Star's spirit.

Bernadette only saw Star endure this consumption without any pain. After she passed this level easily, she asked her:

"Do you like this opening spell?"

"Thank you."

Bernadette felt a little excited for a moment and didn't even know what to say to Star.

Finally she smiled back and slowly uttered the words of thanks.

Then, Star threw the "blasphemy card" to herself as if she was electrocuted.

After all, it was Roselle's masterpiece in his later years. There was no need to do such a thing in front of her daughter, right?
Star is a little ignorant of romance...

As soon as this thought came to Bernadette's mind, she took the blasphemy card and saw the contents on it.

Above the bookmark, a bright light gradually rose, and the image of Emperor Roselle outside was completely renewed.

He sat on an ancient stone throne, with a black crown inlaid with various gems on his head. He was wearing black armor and a cloak of the same color. He held a scepter in his hand and looked forward with cold eyes.

In the upper left corner of the bookmark, a line of words condensed from the bright starlight:
"Sequence 0: Black Emperor!"

My father actually used his own image on this "blasphemous card"? Did he decide to become the "Black Emperor" at that time?

Bernadette was not surprised that Roselle engraved her own image on the "Blasphemy Card". After all, this was an item that her father had lovingly made during his lifetime. The legend of the "Blasphemy Card" had long been circulating in the world of mysticism - it contained the secret of becoming a god.

However, on second thought, the "Card of Blasphemy" in her hand seemed to have been demonstrated by Roselle herself.

Bernadette suddenly understood more about her father's narcissism.

Anyway, this kind of complaint is not suitable to be said out loud, so Bernadette just looked at Star silently:

"You don't need this 'blasphemous card' anymore?"

"No, no. Anyway, this kind of thing is difficult to explain. First, quickly use the 'Secret Voyeur' path to reach the 'Sage' sequence, and then use the angel-level information recording ability to record everything."

Star seemed to be holding back something and spoke hurriedly to Bernadette.

He was even reluctant to communicate directly with Bernadette, and instead gave her instructions through the "channel" - this way the message could be transmitted faster.

Bernadette understood the hidden meaning of Sta's words. She was confused but did not say much. Instead, she read the "Card of Blasphemy" as soon as she received it.

In fact, she was also very curious about the part about the "Black Emperor" in the description of this "Card of Blasphemy" - that was the last path her father had taken before his death. It would always be a good idea to know more about her father.

Then, the bookmark became three-dimensional, like a miniature book.

Bernadette skipped the low- and medium-sequence contents such as "Lawyer" and "Barbarian" and started directly from the high-sequence parts of Sequence 4 "Fallen Count" and Sequence 3 "Crazy Mage".

After reaching the high sequence, the biggest feature of this sequence is to walk on the earth, establish a different order, or even a brand new country.

Bernadette thought of her father's transformation from consul to emperor, and couldn't help but sigh and looked at the final ceremony:

As Starr had said before, the apotheosis ceremony required "having one's own name associated with the title of emperor."

This was a hurdle that could not be circumvented. After all, Roselle was not like the King of Loen Kingdom, who could conquer the colonies of South Road and borrow the throne from the Balam Empire.

If he had really done that at the time, there would have been fewer opponents in Intis...

Looking back from a hindsight perspective, Bernadette realized that it would have been difficult for her father to take this path, both because of his character and because of the fact that he was contaminated by an unknown existence.

But due to various coincidences, my father ended up on such a dead end.

If my father had not been corrupted back then, he would have made more contributions in the end, even if he had just inherited the achievements of the civilization of that era, right?

It will also have a greater impact on the "development of the times" and the "trend of history"...

Thinking of this, Bernadette felt a little sad.

But once the promotion is successful, the "Black Emperor" will not truly die until the nine secret tombs are all destroyed. Even if he dies, he can wake up and return from one of the tombs.

The best way to completely destroy Him is to have a new "Black Emperor" emerge!
So, Russell didn't really die...

Bernadette made this summary, and at the same time she suddenly realized something:
If her father joined such a very secretive and ancient organization in his later years, did he also have their support for his promotion?
After all, if it is just a spirit from some unknown place, in addition to memories, if it wants to become a god in the end, it must have corresponding extraordinary characteristics to support it.

The extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness of the "Black Emperor" have disappeared since the fall of the "Black Emperor" of the Solomon Empire in the Fourth Era, the "Age of the Gods".

That is at least a "0" level sealed object!

If Roselle did not have the support of his allies, it would be impossible to explain why he was able to obtain the extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness related to the "Black Emperor".

It seems that the events of that year still hide many secrets that she had never been able to access before.

And it is not unimportant. At least Bernadette, holding the "Card of Blasphemy" in her sharp hands, can glimpse a hint of aggregation and a subtle sensation from the extraordinary angel level!

At this moment, blood began to flow out of her eyes uncontrollably, and she felt as if everything around her was coming alive at this moment, baring its fangs and claws as it tried to merge together!

Boom, boom, boom, Bernadette could vaguely hear her own heartbeat.

The rhythm of the heartbeat was quite chaotic, as if it was a mixture of two sounds.

Two... Bernadette's heart moved, and she calmly turned her attention back to herself.

The next second, she was sure that the heartbeat she heard came from two sources:

One from her heart and one from her belly.

It seemed as if there was an extra heart in her belly, expanding and contracting at a steady pace.

Moreover, this "heart" is still growing little by little!
There was no need to use her "voyeuristic" ability to look at her abdomen. Bernadette could directly sense the embryonic form of a fetus in her belly.

Fortunately, she had used her spirituality to sense this extremely evil aura in advance.

But the disaster was not limited to this. At the same time, Bernadette's ability as a "master of prediction" emerged, and she tensed up, "as if she had seen through fate that she was in great danger because she had recognized some indescribable existence."

Even a disaster!
It was at this moment that Bernadette, who sensed the impending danger, suddenly understood why Star's tone was a little strange when he asked her to quickly flip through the "blasphemous card" - because this "blasphemous card" itself was abnormal!

"Mother Goddess of the Earth"... "Primal Moon"... "Mother Tree of Desire"... These three names of gods flashed through Bernadette's mind.

As far as she knew, there were not many mysteries that could cause such changes, and most of them came from areas related to the "Earth" and "Moon" pathways.

——The Sequence 0 of the “Cultivator” pathway is called “Mother”, the “Original Moon” can allow stones to gain the ability to reproduce, and the “Mother Tree of Desire” is suspected to have mastered some of the high-sequence Beyonder characteristics of the “Moon” pathway.

At this moment, she suddenly thought of the existence above the starry sky who had secretly polluted her father and could not escape its influence even after becoming a god.

Judging from the changes that Bernadette herself had experienced, the current aura was obviously caused by the dangerous existence called "Primal Moon".

Thus, silently, a subtle connection was established, and Bernadette suddenly felt as if the moon in the starry sky was like a red eye, looking down at her from above.

The uneasiness made her want to use the "Pale Death", a "1" level seal made from the extraordinary characteristics of the Death Path Sequence 0 "Pale Emperor", or transform herself into a pure information flow creature and use her status and power as a complete mythical creature to suppress it.

But as her father once said:

"Children make choices, adults choose to take them all."

The next moment, Bernadette quickly made the corresponding decision without hesitation.

As for asking Sta for help - after all, Sta looks like an ancient being who is still in the recovery period. In this situation where even the angels feel greatly threatened, Bernadette cannot confirm Sta's strength, so it is most important to save herself first!

Then a pale mask with a gleaming metallic luster quickly appeared around Bernadette and merged with her half soul.

A figure consisting of only the upper body soon emerged from her body.

The figure grew out from Bernadette's back and was almost transparent and quite unreal.

“She” was wearing the same clothes as Bernadette, and the same tricorn hat with feathers. Her eyes were as blue as the reflection of the sea. She was exactly Bernadette herself, the part of her spirit that had emerged from her body.

The only difference is that this mask only has holes for the eyes, and no other gaps, making Bernadette's shadow look extremely cold and noble, but lacking the breath of the living.

A pale, slender, illusory hand stretched out from there and suddenly reached into her own belly, grabbing the unformed fetus.

Its living qualities quickly dissipated, as if it had reached the end of its life.

But this could not satisfy Bernadette. Her body began to become ethereal at a speed visible to the naked eye, decomposing into waves of complex knowledge.

In an instant, she decomposed into complex streams of knowledge, transformed into a torrent of information, and became a pure information flow creature.

The fetus then lost its sense of reality in her eyes, as if it had been restored to its most basic and authentic form of information.

This state has both advantages and disadvantages:

As long as the information torrent of Bernadette's incarnation can be undisturbed by external interference and she can reconstruct her body within a few seconds, there is no need to worry about this aura leaving her with any imperceptible hidden dangers!

Unfortunately, the fetus still refused to give in after being violently "aborted" by Bernadette:

It is filled with the most brutal vitality of life, and has become abnormally activated without anyone noticing.

"It" is about half the size of a normal baby, has grown facial features and limbs, and has wrinkled skin that is oozing with sticky pus.

As "it" separates from the mother body, the "it" that has not yet been fully formed will quickly melt into the air under the pale effect of death.

The baby was obviously unwilling to give up. He tried hard to open his eyes that were blocked by mucus and opened his mouth with sharp fangs to make a final struggle.

So Bernadette quickly allowed the "pale death" to take effect on it - and the fetus quickly became mottled, with fragments constantly falling off or dust being raised by the wind, and tiny pale white hairs growing between the gaps.

In just the blink of an eye, these fluffs grew into white feathers, and the surface seemed to be soaked in light yellow oil.

But soon it was covered with all kinds of mucus, as if trying stubbornly to escape the influence of the "pale death".

The breath of "it" is fading little by little, as if it is rushing towards the end of death.

But it grew stronger as flesh and blood grew wildly, as if it was using its life to fight against this "Level 0 Seal".

When Bernadette saw that the fetus did not begin to deteriorate as expected, she was ready to fight another fierce battle after the body was reassembled.

At the same time, she also began to be wary of the possible subsequent "pollution" in the starry sky.

But at this moment, Bernadette saw Star step on the fetus with her own eyes and said indifferently:

"Don't throw the fetus away~"

So the fetus, which was suspected to be influenced by the higher being, did not even feel sad about its disappearance for a quarter of an hour, and then disappeared without a trace.

If Bernadette had not been able to clearly perceive the changes she had just discovered, she would have almost thought that the fetus was an illusion!
Because it is impossible to clearly see how the fetus disappeared from "fate" or any "information".

Even "disappearance" was just Bernadette's personal guess.

It is better to describe it this way: "it" has returned to the purest and most extreme "nothingness"!
To the extent that even the traces that prove its existence - most of the information that can prove that it once existed, cannot even be detected by the information torrent that Bernadette has transformed into!
At this moment, Bernadette's mood was complicated and inexplicable. Her heart felt like it was hit by huge waves and she couldn't calm down for a while.

For a moment, she was undoubtedly confused, and even had this thought:

She had worked so hard to prepare herself mentally, but looking back, it was no better than a casual kick from Star?
Isn't this... a bit discouraging?

However, Star did not make any explanation at this time, but looked towards a certain place above the boundless starry sky, at the blood-red thing that emitted pure light, the red moon that represented the "Fallen Mother Goddess"!

"It seems like He just got into trouble."

His voice was very calm, as if everything that had just happened was under his control.

After watching Star's nonchalant expression, Bernadette saw something even more difficult for her to accept:
The blasphemous card that carries the secret of godhood, possesses an unfathomable high status, and allows one to obtain the corresponding path.

It seemed as if it had suffered an invisible blow. The card began to struggle and twist at this moment, as if trying to struggle to maintain its original shape.

However, after a moment of silence, the "Card of Blasphemy" shattered in front of Bernadette like fragile porcelain.

It cracked into countless tiny lines, which spread rapidly, covering the entire card like a spider web. Then, right in front of Bernadette's wide eyes, the card disintegrated with an almost audible shrill sound, turning into countless fragments that fell into the air.

It...it broke into pieces...
