Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 298 I Want to Try

The "New Black Emperor" is about to be born...

A war involving all levels of the world is brewing...

Bernadette's mind was momentarily dazed by this event which involved gods and might be the most significant event in the northern and southern continents in the coming period.

After all, the amount of information involved in these words really made her feel palpitations after she reacted:
This not only concerns her father's life and death, but also the Fifth Epoch. This is a rare event of becoming a god in this era!
In a split second, Bernadette sorted out her thoughts, first grasped the key point of the topic and said:

"George III? How could that person from the Twilight Hermits make him the Black Emperor?"

She still didn't dare to say Adam's name directly - this was out of respect for the King of Angels, not to mention that Adam was the "Son of the Creator" and contained a lot of secrets.

"What else? Who will be the Black Emperor?"

Star asked back.

"You can screen among the various countries at present and see which Beyonder family in power is suitable to be used as a pawn to become the 'Black Emperor'?"

Bernadette was speechless for a moment, and began to think under Sta's guidance:
First of all, to become the "Black Emperor" one must have the title of "Emperor".

This is definitely not appropriate in a republican country like Intis, or a country governed by nobles.

The opposition, unrest and other disputes caused by the forceful declaration of emperorship would certainly not be conducive to forming a common image anchor in the Black Emperor's deification ceremony, nor would it be conducive to consolidating people's common cognition and achieving the desired effect of the ceremony.

In this evolution, Roselle has demonstrated its consequences: he showed later generations that a man who forcibly proclaimed himself emperor was almost driven out of office by opposition voices, even though he had made many contributions in the first half of his life, opened up the entire industrial age, and promoted the development and prosperity of Intis. He was almost driven out by the gods because they had to protect the perception of the domestic people.

If it weren't for the fact that the various achievements of civilization that Roselle brought were so numerous, so many that they were scattered across various fields and were enough to make him famous in history, the "rebellion" that Roselle caused when he finally proclaimed himself emperor would not just be a "rebellion", but would probably have become another "uprising" and "evolution" against Roselle under the guidance of the church, forcing Roselle to step down.

If even Emperor Roselle could do this, then who are the people after him to be qualified to do such extreme operations like Roselle?

In the major dictatorships, at least in countries with a culture of dictatorship, the potions they possess must also meet the requirements for promotion to the "Black Emperor".

Taking medication across channels is a dead end!
This is the most basic knowledge that extraordinary people should know! This is the basic common sense of mysticism!

Bernadette doesn't think that anyone is immune to the madness and loss of control that comes with cross-path advancement and mental stitching.

Therefore, wouldn't there be someone who would give up being a king and violate the three major contracts signed between the Orthodox Church and the royal families of various countries in ancient times, and become a crazy and out-of-control monster?

Even though Bernadette did not personally witness the scene of her father's death, she knew that if her father really crossed over and became the "Black Emperor" in the end, he would have to die once.

Otherwise, when the doomsday deadline is approaching, if a crazy "Black Emperor" appears, it will simply damage the number of anchors on one's side for no reason.

Based on this, and the original social environment of some countries, countries like the Feysac Empire can also be excluded from this range.

Now that the Solomon family can no longer hide, there is only one way to get close to the "Black Emperor":
The "judge" path is also called the "arbitrator" path.

It is also naturally the "order" aspect.

From this perspective, there are only the royal families of the two kingdoms of Loen and Feynaport, the Augustus family and the Castilla family.

Can meet the requirements to become the "Black Emperor".

The changes that the Black Emperor needed—or a new order that was different from the past—were not so suitable for implementation in a country like Feynaporte. Instead, they were extremely suitable for a country like Loen where new industries had already been implemented and the evolution of the old and the new was brewing...

As her thoughts turned to her, Bernadette soon understood why the man from the Twilight Hermits chose the Augustus Family of the Kingdom of Loen as her partner.

"But why is the Augustus family so sure to agree to such a thing?"

"This violates the three major contracts signed between the Orthodox Church and the royal families of various countries in ancient times."

Bernadette said to Star.

"It's simple. The Seven Gods also need a 'Black Emperor'."

"The Seven Gods also need a Black Emperor?"

"Yes, this is a very complicated matter. Those who understand it must understand it. If you don't understand it, I won't explain it in detail. I can only say that I have said what I need to say. Anyway, think about it carefully. The interests involved are too great..."

you……

He started to speak incomprehensible jargon like his father again...

Is this the custom of the people in their place?
Bernadette was puzzled by Star's vague response without any explanation. She thought that she was an angel and the leader of a large secret organization in the world of occultism - "Elemental Dawn".

Star still used this kind of words to evade her.

Even if he just uses the excuse of "it's related to the destruction of the world so I can't tell you"...

Bernadette was puzzled by Sta's attitude at first, but then she thought of the "end of the world" confirmed in the "prophecy" - could it really be related to the reason for the "destruction of the world"?
That end of the world: has it reached the point where the gods need to look forward to the emergence of a new god?
This……

Bernadette suddenly understood the Augustus family's confidence:
If the "Doomsday Prophecy" were true, the Augustus family would not be liquidated for violating this agreement.

"Yes, just as you thought. No matter what, the Augustus family will eventually preserve a Sequence 1 angel, that is, the first 'Old Augustus', the 'Judge' Path Sequence 1 'Hand of Order' - the 'Founder' and 'Protector' William I on the 10-pound note."

"In this case, the Augustus family, as collaborators, could support a current king to become the 'Black Emperor'."

"As long as he can complete the requirements of the ritual, he can become a god, becoming the 'Black Emperor' who lives forever and rules over reality forever."

Star understood from the surprised reaction on Bernadette's face after she pondered that Bernadette had obviously thought about that level, so he continued to explain slowly:
"Against this backdrop, it is reasonable for all the major secret organizations to start activities for their own goals."

What a turbulent situation...

Bernadette got a glimpse of the bigger picture from Sta's brief description, and suddenly she felt as if history was once again shining into reality.

Even though she had experienced a lot, and had lived from Roselle's era to the present, and had become an angel, she had to sigh at the situation that Star pointed out - it was as if all kinds of contradictions had accumulated until now and were about to explode at the end of this century.

Moreover, Roselle's ascension to godhood was more like a one-man show - and it ended tragically with his pollution and fall.

And now, various secret organizations are intertwined here, planning for their own interests. Undoubtedly, this historical change is more grand than that time.

But for Bernadette, the biggest difference is that she was still a little girl last time and could only watch her father as a loser, and even his afterlife residence had to be taken out as a trophy.

This time, she has become an angel, qualified to join the game, qualified to be called "Him", and to plan as one of "Them".

"This way, you should understand everything, and you should also be able to see clearly the plot behind all of this, centered around the 'Black Emperor Becoming a God', and the various parties' plans."

"First, there is the implementation of the Corn Act, and then there are new measures such as the Civil Service Act that was vigorously promoted after being defeated by the Feysac Empire."

"Next, in order to cover up the missing people who needed to be sacrificed in the excavation and construction of the secret mausoleum that the Black Emperor needed, there will be another 'accident' that a certain force will take the blame for."

"After that, the war began. The Twilight Hermit Society officially started stirring up all kinds of conflicts in order to instigate a world war..."

At this point, Stafford paused:
"In fact, if you feel that what I said is too detailed and does not seem like a prediction based on intelligence, you can collect information yourself to verify it."

"For example, how did Kapin, a human trafficker, become rich as the 'black glove' of a certain power that controls the 'Arbitrator' channel?"

"For example, the recent frequent disappearances of people in colonies such as the Southern Continent do not point to a sacrificial ceremony, but to human trade. And where were they transported to in the end?"

"What I can clearly say is that Capin, Backlund's biggest human trafficker, has a protector through the 'Arbitrator' path..."

At this point, Star's meaning was already very clear. Bernadette nodded and said:

"I already know."

Although I don’t understand how Star could foresee these trends, it is all very clear given the approaching end of the world and the outbreak of various conflicts in the world.

The Black Emperor becomes a god, followed by a war that sweeps across the northern and southern continents, and then it may involve the game of all parties...

No matter how much Bernadette marveled at Sta's ability to foresee the future, she had to admit rationally at this moment:
The development Star describes is both plausible and appealing.

Is this the "Wheel of Fortune"?
She couldn't help but think of the "blasphemous card" that Star had left in Kapin's house.

It was indeed as if fate had been revealed to him...

Thinking carefully, in recent years, George III and Earl Hall, who was supported by the Church of Night, had been promoting new laws. Bernadette thought this was a normal political change, but it was not until now that she suddenly realized:
It turns out that all of this is paving the way for the Black Emperor's deification ceremony!

In fact, her father had also used this tactic, concealing the so-called "coming of a new order" under normal historical changes. While spying on the "Black Emperor" throne, he could also prepare for becoming a god in advance, so as not to be attacked by the opposition before accumulating all his strength.

Without having to distort a new set of rules that go against aesthetics like the "Black Emperor" of Solomon in the Fourth Era, or promulgating the "Civil Code" like Roselle did, replacing the original rules with the order of the 18th and 19th centuries on Earth, Roselle spread his own quotations and promoted his own aesthetics...

These are all normal reforms carried out by enacting new laws, but they happen to be preparations for becoming the "Black Emperor".

Bernadette previously thought:
This was a change that the Kingdom of Loen decided to make after losing important colonies following its defeat in the war with the Feysac Empire.

Now that I think about it, this was just another attempt by the king to take advantage of the situation?
Even the welfare bill that was put on the agenda for consideration not long ago because of the demonstration in Tingen City hit the king's mark?

A series of clear connections between the clues appeared in Bernadette's mind, making her suddenly understand a lot of things.

She said why she had foreseen that a disaster would happen to a "City of All Capitals" or "City of Hope" like Backlund.

It turns out that Backlund's royal family itself was the culprit who "let the wolf into the house"!

Even their king himself wanted to use them as stepping stones and actively eliminate some of them!
After two seconds of silence, Bernadette realized the storm that Backlund was brewing and said solemnly:
"What do you need me to do?"

As the leader of the "Elemental Dawn", she had no lack of basic psychological qualities. At this moment, she suddenly realized:
Star undoubtedly doesn't want to see this happen.

He would even rather reveal it actively, and even risk being spotted by Adam at the daytime exhibition to point out the existence of the Dusk Hermits and the Black Emperor.

"The clue to the uniqueness of the 'Black Emperor'."

“For the time being, we can start from this aspect.”

Star didn't say much, just talked about the facts.

Bernadette listened quietly, her eyes twinkled and she said:

"I will do my best to investigate this matter."

With the tacit understanding of cooperation with Star, Bernadette knew that this uniqueness would also be of great benefit to her father's resurrection.

This was enough to make her willing to let Star drive her and come to a consensus with him.

Besides, this is just one of the reasons.

So she quickly couldn't help but speak again:

"In this kind of situation, are you so confident that I will do as you wish and stand with you?"

You know, on the other side is the Angel Family headed by Sequence 1, Augustus, who has lived from the Fourth Era to the present.

Not to mention the Twilight Hermits, who are the King of Angels and control the uniqueness of the "Black Emperor".

If the goal was just to prevent George III from becoming the Black Emperor, Bernadette would certainly have stood against Augustus and others.

But if it is magnified to the point of preventing a war in which secret organizations from all sides will be involved, this is really too far-fetched, and Bernadette cannot clearly explain her intentions.

Discussing with her the big event of the Black Emperor becoming a god, aren't you afraid that she will leak it?
However, Star seemed to have a plan in mind:

"No, I'm not sure I can convince you."

He sighed, shook his head in amusement, and turned to look at the starry night sky in the distance.

Over there is the endless sky, where they live.

"But I want to try."
