Chapter 400 Chaos Gastric Juice
Queen Roselle breathed a sigh of relief with an imperceptible degree of relief.

As long as he doesn't want to kidnap my daughter, everything else is fine.

He is in an awkward situation. Bernadette is not yet particularly used to him, Luke has done him a favor, and there is a clear gap in strength between the two sides, making it difficult to stop him in every sense.

"This seal is a bit strange. I tried to use the Eye of Prying into Secrets to decipher the information, but all my methods disappeared silently when I touched the third layer."

Roselle took out a three-layer jewelry box with an exquisite hollow surface, inlaid with rubies, emeralds, sapphires and diamonds, and handed it over, giving advance instructions.

"Just by looking at the name, you should know that this thing is dangerous enough."

Luke took the "Box of the Past" with a smile and flicked his fingers.

Layer upon layer of illusions flashed across the surface of the box and were burned to ashes the next moment. The exquisite and luxurious box trembled and collapsed in the red light.

The first and second layers quickly transformed into Beyonder characteristics of the Planeswalker that twinkled like stars, but the third layer remained deadlocked for several seconds before completely collapsing.

A ball of chaotic liquid that seemed to contain all colors and all possibilities surged from Lu Ke's hand, squirming madly as if it had life.

Invisible waves began to spread from Lu Ke's palm. The speed was not fast, but everything along the way disappeared, including air, light, matter, information... without any exception.

The expressions of Empress Roselle and Bernadette changed at the same time.

Suddenly, horrifying sounds of chewing, swallowing, and digesting rang out in their hearts and ears, as if something was gnawing at their flesh and bones from within their bodies.

The two figures transformed into two data streams, one large and one small, and quickly moved away from the rented apartment.

Luke, who was at the center, remained as he was. He seemed unaffected. He held the chaos in his hand, and a large number of halos composed of unknown substances emerged behind him.

"Give me some peace of mind."

Lu Ke's face turned cold, his five fingers clenched, and an aura that made people tremble and kneel down burst out of his body, as well as the "gathering" brought by the symbol of "all things returning to one".

"conquer"!
It seemed as if the chaotic fluid with vitality seemed to have smelled something, and it was like a wanderer who had been away from home for many years and found his home. It rubbed against Lu Ke's palm obediently, flatteringly, and attachedly, and stopped radiating its power.

A few seconds later, the swallowed up concept of "light" was replenished, and the sunlight shone into Apartment 4 Daffodil Street. Most of the things inside disappeared with Luke as the center, leaving an absolutely regular circle with a diameter of about ten meters.

"what is this?"

Bernadette looked at the chaotic liquid in Luke's hand with surprise.

"It looks like the water of the 'Sea of ​​Chaos', but it's a little different."

Empress Roselle also frowned. Just now, she, a Sequence 1 "Knowledge Emperor", actually felt frightened, as if she would be swallowed up if she stayed too long.

"This is the 'chaotic gastric juice' extraordinary property of the 'primordial hunger' pathway."

Lu Ke looked at the ball of liquid in his hand and explained in a neutral tone.

"Except for the spiritual imprints, uniqueness, source essence, and extraordinary characteristics of the Old Ones, everything else can be digested, utilized, and erased."

"Is it...different from the twenty-two paths to godhood within the barrier, the extraordinary characteristics of those great beings from the outside world?"

Bernadette seemed to be quite interested in this. This was the instinct of a "mysterious person", a desire for occult knowledge.

After becoming a Sequence 2 "Sage" and reaching the "Angel" level, she also obtained some information beyond the starry sky from Empress Roselle.

"Ah."

Lu Ke nodded slightly and pronounced His name.

"The primordial hunger, the symbol of devouring, the insatiable aggregation, the sweeper of all things."

"He is one of the ten Outer Gods outside the barrier, symbolizing the original 'gathering' instinct."

Hearing this, Queen Roselle looked at Lu Ke strangely. If she remembered correctly, Lu Ke had also used a similar power of "aggregation" during the war in the God-Forsaken Land.

"How can a Beyonder characteristic without any attachments have such power?"

Curiosity drove Bernadette to unconsciously observe this extraordinary characteristic that she had never seen or heard of before.

"Not only is there 'Chaos Gastric Juice', the 'Box of the Old Ones' also contains power that comes directly from 'Primal Hunger'."

Noticing the brilliance in His eyes, Luke smiled and shook his head, explaining:
"This is the trick of that brainless idiot. Normally, once the seal of the Box of the Ancients is opened, it will immediately swallow up everything around it and eat it directly."

"Start from the bottom of the subconscious and the island of the mind, eat up the emotions, eat up the memories, eat up the spirit and consciousness, eat up the flesh and blood, eat up the night and the day, eat up the good and the bad, eat up the good and the evil, eat up the order and the disaster, until it eats up some of the rules of this world, making it unable to maintain stability and making the barrier lose its foundation..."

"However, the brain and wisdom of 'Primal Hunger' were eaten by ''He'', and his actions are extremely single-threaded. The 'planeswalkers' who traveled through the stars were contaminated by ''He'' and brought back this power. They should have hidden it in the dark and exploded when they grew strong enough..."

Luke spread his hands and smiled mockingly, "But this power that comes directly from the 'primordial hunger' is as stupid as the original body. It can't control its desire to eat at all, and it directly eats the 'planeswalker' that serves as a carrier."

In comparison, his symbol of "all things becoming one" is much better than simple "aggregation". Although his efficiency in swallowing and digestion is far inferior to the latter, having a brain is the biggest compensation.

"Eat yourself?"

Bernadette nodded thoughtfully, "The manifestation of the Outer Gods is more abstract than I imagined."

"really."

Under the astonished gazes of Bernadette and Queen Roselle, Luke swallowed the Beyonder characteristic of "Chaos Gastric Juice" in one gulp.

Lu Ke felt dark and deep, as if he had turned into a black hole and swallowed up everything around him.

At the same time, a phantom image like an "abstract stomach" appeared in front of him. The image gradually became clearer and had a more "real" texture.

Just by looking at the "abstract stomach", Emperor Roselle and Bernadette both had the illusion that they had been swallowed into a chaotic liquid that contained all colors and possibilities and were completely digested.

But soon, the picture and the strange phenomenon on Luke disappeared.

He relied on devouring extraordinary characteristics to advance all the way, and his main body also possessed some of the source of "primordial hunger". This "chaotic gastric juice" instantly reached the edge of digestion.

For the "primitive hunger" approach, there is only one core idea of ​​​​playing - "eating"!
This is the simplest, brainless, fastest and most accurate way. After all, the person at the highest level of this way is just an idiot who only knows how to eat.

"If you are so interested in this knowledge, why don't we find another place to chat, or go out for a walk together and chat while walking?"

Luke rubbed his stomach, as if what he had just eaten was just a dessert, not a Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristic from an Outer God. He coughed lightly and extended his hand to Bernadette with a smile.

The knowledge related to the "Old Days" is undoubtedly the world's top "occult knowledge", and its attraction to "mystery peepers" is like top-notch catnip to cats.

"it is good!"

Bernadette's voice was unusually excited when she finally reacted, and she answered in a decisive tone.

"Luke, didn't you say you weren't here to kidnap anyone?"

Queen Roselle was stunned for a moment, then looked at Luke angrily.

If my daughter went out with Luke, it would be like throwing meat buns at a dog and there would be no return. As the "mirror person" of "Emperor Roselle", He knew too well the behavior logic of scumbag men. They held hands while chatting, and then hugged each other's waists. They found a place to lie down while hugging each other, and then... they rubbed against each other.

He does not trust the "conqueror" who represents the "original positive power", who is outstanding in some aspect and makes the other party surrender involuntarily, and is more attractive to the opposite sex!

Luke looked innocent, "But Bernadette has become an angel, hasn't she? She is already 'He', how can she be considered a human?"

Queen Roselle: “…”

Can people who play word games like this just die? Can they?
"Don't worry, I have a measure."

Bernadette, the person involved, gave Queen Roselle a soothing look without giving her a chance to refuse. She glanced at the hand that Luke handed over and walked out first.

"Let's go for a walk. Take me for a walk."

Lu Ke smiled and took his hand back, not embarrassed at all, and gave a warning to Queen Roselle in the room:
“Remember to restore this room.”

Without looking at the horrified expression on Queen Roselle's face, Luke quickened his pace to catch up with Bernadette. The two of them walked side by side out of the apartment and onto the busy street.

The setting sun is like an orange that has been roasted slightly red by the fire. It hangs in the sky and casts a soft and mellow afterglow.

"Go ahead. I'm all ears."

Bernadette did not hide her desire for knowledge. She stared at Luke with her sharp eyes, as if she was looking at a huge treasure, a rich library.

"Okay, but in exchange for the equivalent, you have to tell me something about yourself."

Luke put forward a condition: "I want to know what you looked like when you were a child, your journey on the path of the 'Mystery Peeper', and how you grew up to become the 'Mystery Queen'."

Bernadette's steps slowed down a beat, but her voice remained the same.

"There is nothing of occult value about me."

Luke's eyes were gentle and his voice was deep: "The value of knowledge is based on the object. The knowledge of the 'old days' is not only worthless but harmful to beings that are not angels, but it is very important to beings above angels. Your experience may not be important to others, but it is very precious to me."

Bernadette was silent for a moment, looked at him deeply, and opened her lips slightly.

"it is good."

He reminisced about the past and detailed it. Luke nodded in agreement or asked about the reasons and told him some secret knowledge. The atmosphere between them gradually became harmonious.

When Bernadette was relaxed and found the walk surprisingly pleasant, she suddenly felt her hand being wrapped by another hand with a warm breath that was hard to refuse and she just wanted to obey.

He struggled subconsciously but failed to break free. He glanced sideways at Lu Ke, who gave him an innocent smile in response.

So shameless...

Bernadette turned her head back and stopped struggling.

Compared to the reserved Kingdom of Loen, having grown up in Intis and then traveling across the five seas, He is more accepting of this straightforward way of getting along. Anyway... He doesn't hate it, and it is a new feeling that He has never experienced before.

As dusk approaches, the densely packed buildings reconcile with the light and shadow, and the darkness cuts the city into mottled blocks of color.

It was rare that he was not so eager to seek promotion. Luke held Bernadette's hand, admired the twilight of the city, and spoke to Him with a smile.

"Is the city you saved personally beautiful? Do you feel a sense of accomplishment?"

"Fortunately, the Seven Gods will not allow the True Creator to escape so easily. If I am gone, there will be others."

Bernadette was silent for a few seconds, then slowly spoke: "After being at sea for so long, I'm actually a little uncomfortable walking on the mud."

Luke nodded and put his hands in his pockets:

"Well, your promotion ceremony is over. You can leave here and return to the Five Seas if you want."

Hearing this, Bernadette looked at him and asked, "Where are you going next?"

"Go to Backlund."

Luke let go of His hand, stretched, and rested his chin on his hand. "The deification ceremony of George III is a starting gun. Good things, bad things, and unexpected things will all erupt on that day."

He smiled at Bernadette, "Once the matter is understood, your father can come back. I mean the real Emperor Roselle, not the 'Man in the Mirror'. Well... the 'Man in the Mirror' is not fake after all."

"I know. He is very good to me."

Hearing that Luke had been thinking about his father, Bernadette's eyes softened a little. She turned her head away and asked in a low voice:
"Then are you in danger?"

"meeting."

Lu Ke nodded affirmatively and added: "Don't worry too much. Even if I fail, it won't have much impact."

Bernadette was silent again and pursed her lips.

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

Luke shook his head seriously. "If you're talking about a battle, the minimum entry ticket to this battle is to be an Angel King with 'uniqueness'. Otherwise, it won't be of much use."

A newly promoted "sage" would most likely die even if he just stood by and watched, let alone help.

Bernadette frowned and said nothing. She had a clear understanding of her own strength and would not show off her strength.

"However, if you don't mind, you can help me in other ways. Stabilizing your mental state is also very important. You also know the characteristics of the Conqueror..."

Luke changed the subject, showing a burning gaze that made Bernadette dodge, and shamelessly proposed a double-row application.

You have to fight for your rights and interests yourself. If you are not thick-skinned enough, how can you get the benefits?
If you say it out loud and get rejected, it will be embarrassing at most, but if it works, you will make a lot of money.

Bernadette stared at Luke for a few seconds, then suddenly sighed, as if giving up some kind of resistance, and starlight bloomed in her hands.

The surrounding scene turned into a dense forest full of pea vines, full of childlike fun. The animated vines entangled Lu Ke, locked his limbs, and suspended him in the air without any resistance.

“I’ll be the leader.”

Bernadette came in front of Luke, with a queen-like majesty on her bright and elegant face. She lifted Luke's chin, fully displaying the toughness of Intis style, and kissed him with her eyes closed.

Lu Ke raised his eyebrows and let Him take the lead, sending a series of "fairy tale" related messages.

Afterwards, the secret realm full of "childlike fun" began to undergo various changes.

In the magnificent palace, the clock struck twelve, and the beautiful girl shimmering in golden light remained unchanged. The prince dismissed the other people at the ball, and the moving music and dance sounded again.

……

After the long battle, Luke looked at Bernadette who was resting with satisfaction beside him, and took out a cigarette from the history gap and lit it.

Sure enough, he never changed.

I loved fairy tales when I was a child, and I still love fairy tales when I grow up!
