Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 440 The Trap Set for the Fallen Mother Goddess
Outside the magic circle set up by Odis using the "Wilderness of Knowledge," Bernadette looked at her father, who stood alone on the high platform, her eyes red, unable to suppress her grief.

Roselle, inside the magic circle, waved his hand: "Let's go, it's getting more and more dangerous outside."

At this time, Emperor Roselle was more like an old father staying at home, sending his children out to make their way in the world.

Bernadette took a deep breath and transformed into a stream of information, leaving the mausoleum.

Odis was about to follow when Roselle suddenly said in Mandarin, "Focus on your business and don't mess around outside."

Odis nodded: "Don't worry, I don't like witches."

"You son of a bitch!" Rosell roared in fury. "Don't read my diary!"

Odis smiled and waved his hand, then transformed into a stream of information and followed closely behind.

Upon exiting the stone gate of the mausoleum, Odis saw that the tall trees outside seemed to have suddenly come to life, struggling to pull out their roots and rushing towards them. All the extraordinary creatures on the island were also heading this way, as if to surround Odis and Bernadette.

Just as the two were about to escape the island in their mythical creature forms, they suddenly felt a gaze from high above.

That gaze was filled with malice, making Odis and Bernadette feel uneasy.

At the same time, they each felt an evil thought arising in their hearts: to attack their partner, turn them into an information stream, and mix them into their own information stream, so that they could completely merge with each other and never have to separate again.

This wicked thought severely affected Odis and Bernadette's thinking. They even felt as if the other was releasing enormous malice, while at the same time feeling somewhat unable to distinguish which of their own thoughts were correct.

This made what should have been a simple escape somewhat complicated, requiring both of them to devote a great deal of energy to dealing with the suddenly appearing consciousness.

To prevent this consciousness from undergoing a mutation and completely suppressing one's own main consciousness.

To this end, Odis borrowed the power of the "wilderness of knowledge" to protect her spiritual body. As soon as the power of the higher level appeared, that consciousness was immediately suppressed.

However, Odis could not help Bernadette because he could freely use the power of the "Wilderness of Knowledge," but for Bernadette, this power was a high-level form of pollution.

After a moment's thought, Odis suddenly broke free from his mythical creature state, drew the "Staff of Gus," and suddenly, the surrounding seawater surged, forming giant waves as high as mountains, which crashed onto the island at an extremely fast speed.

Mysterious Reappearance: Annihilation Flood!
The massive flood swept up tall trees, tearing them into pieces in the raging torrent.

The extraordinary creatures tried to use their abilities to break free from the flood's hold, but they discovered that this flood was different from normal water; its torrents seemed to wash away all their extraordinary characteristics, greatly suppressing their extraordinary abilities.

Thus, enormous and extraordinary creatures such as dire wolves, giants, feathered serpents, and phoenixes were drawn into whirlpools and struggled to avoid drowning.

Their once indifferent faces were now filled with fear; they sensed the coming of the end times.

The Dawn was not greatly affected by the massive flood because it served as an "ark" in the flood.

Two other places were unaffected by the flood: Russell's mausoleum and the massive black stone pillar.

The floodwaters, seemingly possessing the power to destroy the heavens and the earth, bypassed these two places, forming a high wall of water around them, giving them a somewhat sacred appearance.

This immediately focused the gaze on Odis, who tried to fight back with the power of the "Wilderness of Knowledge," and then said to Bernadette, "You go first, I'll follow later."

Bernadette could sense that Odis was protected by a mysterious power, so she did not act recklessly. Taking advantage of the weakening of the extra consciousness within her, she immediately used the information flow method to leave this place first.

wow~
As the floodwaters receded, broken trees and animal carcasses littered the island, and extraordinary creatures lay panting on the ground, as if they had escaped death.

The entire island no longer resembles its former vibrant self.

As Odis resisted that gaze, he looked at the massive black stone pillar.

He knew very well that it was the key to the "Fallen Mother Goddess" being able to descend her power upon this island. Odis raised the "Staff of Gus" and was about to "recreate" Gonggong when he suddenly discovered that lush branches and flowers were growing on the staff, and the "staff" instantly turned into a bunch of plants.

The spirituality that Odis infused into the staff became the nutrients that nourished the plants.

Moreover, the "Staff of Gus" seemed to have its own thoughts and was no longer willing to obey Odis's commands, which prevented Odis from using her "Reappearance" ability.

Moreover, because the vines on the staff were wrapped around Odis's hand, Odis was unable to get rid of the staff and could only fight against the consciousness generated by the "Staff of Gus".

At that moment, Odis felt all the sounds around him disappear, the air around him seemed to change, and then a holy and clear light appeared in the sky.

……

Bernadette, upon returning to the Dawn, immediately issued the order to leave the area.

At that moment, her spirit seemed to sense something and she saw a sacred cloud suddenly appear in the sky. It had a clear light that brought peace to the heart and seemed to be spreading the light of reason.

Soon, amidst the radiance, a man dressed in exotic attire appeared. He had a long black beard and a gentle face.

Bernadette felt a strange, indescribable feeling towards this being. He seemed sacred, yet lacked the aloofness of a deity. He exuded authority, yet didn't instill much pressure, as if he were one with his surroundings.

"What...what kind of deity is that?" Bernadette heard a sailor ask at that moment.

Bernadette's eyebrows twitched, and she was about to reprimand her subordinates for not paying attention to this great figure.

But when she glanced at her subordinates, she was surprised to find that their spiritual bodies had not changed. In other words, this extremely high-ranking being had not brought madness and chaos to the extraordinary beings below the level of demigod!

Bernadette thought to herself: Is this the "Lord of Mysteries"?

……

Odis looked up at the Celestial Master, and the pressure on him lessened as soon as the other appeared.

This made Odis remark that the Celestial Master's entrance was quite impressive.

At this moment, some soft flesh resembling marine creatures suddenly grew on the black stone pillar covered with moss. These soft fleshes formed a sphere at the top of the stone pillar, and it grinned and said to the Celestial Master, "You really did not perish completely."

The Celestial Master smiled and said, "Your expectations have been dashed."

The soft, round ball of flesh said again, "It's no use. Even if you destroy this island, you won't be able to cleanse Roselle of the pollution, and it won't harm me either."

"Looks like you're not in a good state either. You've waited so long, only to suddenly show up for something so meaningless."

With a warm smile, the Celestial Master said, "I've said before that you don't actually have any 'villainous' qualities, especially when it comes to language; you don't have that talent."

Instead of arguing with the Celestial Master, the sphere grinned and said, "I'm starting to look forward to your scheme. So, what are you planning to do?"

He hasn't encountered a worthy opponent in a long time.

The Celestial Master said, “The barrier that was ‘originally’ created has developed many cracks, and even many holes.”

"And since the real world doesn't have the old days, it can only defend against your attacks according to my previous design, but it can't fill in those cracks and holes."

The sphere laughed and said, "So you're going to come back and help those seven little guys from the real world plug those holes?"

“Although I have been detached from worldly affairs for a long time, I still wouldn’t do something so foolish.” The Celestial Master said, “Your symbolic meaning is quite good. You have the ability of ‘immortality’ and ‘rebirth.’ Although you are no longer a complete pillar, I think your authority should be able to heal the cracks and holes in the barrier.”

The sphere paused visibly again, then asked, "Are you kidding me?"

He could sense that the Celestial Master's current power seemed to be somewhat like that of a dual-path Angel King, slightly stronger than a true god in terms of rank, but far inferior to "half of the Old Ones." If such power were not within the barrier, it would be no match for the "Fallen Mother Goddess."

Odis realized that the Celestial Master might have found a way to force the "Fallen Mother Goddess" to do so.

Because he knew very well that he would only reveal some of his key plans to the public when he was absolutely certain of success.

But he had absolutely no idea what the specific method was.

The Celestial Master's smile was already quite gentle: "I have no intention of discussing this with you."

At that moment, He raised His hand, and a stream of information composed of "0" and "1" suddenly shot out from Roselle's tomb and wrapped around the giant pillar.

At this moment, a memory suddenly appeared in Odis's mind, and he suddenly realized that in order to prevent any accidents from happening to the plan, the Celestial Master had not told him the whole content of the plan at all!

The original "history" is that the "Fallen Mother Goddess" corrupted the island and used Mr. "Door" to give certain hints to the descendants of Abraham's family, allowing Benjamin Abraham to contact Mr. "Door" with Russell in the Misty Sea. Then, she lured Russell to the island and took the opportunity to corrupt Russell.

Then, once Roselle becomes the "Black Emperor," the corruption of the "Fallen Mother Goddess" will rapidly spread and, through Roselle's resurrection, descend upon the real world.

But Roselle realized this, so he stopped the resurrection process and began a tug-of-war with the other party in the mausoleum.

The Celestial Master was well aware of this "history," so when he used the characteristics of the "Knowledge Emperor" to add "Source Code" to Russell's body, he did so very obviously.

Even Russell might have noticed it, though he would most likely have assumed it was the divinity inherent in the "Knowledge Emperor" that was altering him.

The key is that this arrangement is very sophisticated, and even if Rosell notices it, he can't change anything.

At the same time, the "Fallen Mother Goddess" would also be able to detect this relatively easily. So after Roselle built her mausoleum on this island, the "Fallen Mother Goddess" has descended on this island with a great deal of power in the last hundred years or so in order to study the "source code" in Roselle's body.

Therefore, the black stone pillar in front of Odis possessed a certain degree of life, and could even influence the extraordinary beings at the level of angels around it, which is something that does not exist in "history".

It is also an important part of the Celestial Master Project!
The "source code" within Emperor Roselle's body can not only be rewritten to counter his corruption, but there is also a "code" that will affect whoever studies it!

The stream of information that flew out of Roselle's tomb was specifically prepared for the "Fallen Mother Goddess".

However, the "Fallen Mother Goddess" remained relatively calm at this moment. After all, her power on this island was at most an avatar. As she said, even if the island were destroyed, it would not have any impact on her true form.

The information flow wrapped around the black stone pillar suddenly expanded and turned into an information cluster. Soon the black stone pillar was transformed into a warm and smooth column-shaped "black jade"!
The spherical creature was still there. Since it only had power slightly higher than a Sequence 2 angel, it was completely unable to stop the Celestial Master's series of operations. So it simply did not resist and treated itself as a spectator.

Even at this point, He still didn't know what the Celestial Master was trying to do.
Odis sensed that the modified black jade was emitting a very special spiritual signal, as if whispers were constantly being spoken from within the black jade.

Immediately afterwards, the black jade formed a strange attraction and tension, and these two forces actually existed on the same object at the same time.

This was achieved by using the abilities of the "Perfect One" to reshape the original black stone pillar.

At that moment, the angel said to the sky, "We may begin."

Suddenly, Adam appeared in the sky, dressed in a simple priest's robe and with a silver cross around his neck. In his hand was an ancient, thick stone slab with a sense of history.

The second blasphemous stone tablet!
At that moment, the stone slab suddenly emitted a faint light, and behind Adam appeared a very ethereal and illusory ocean, which seemed to contain infinite possibilities and infinite beauty.

He has not yet become a god, so establishing a connection with the "Chaos Sea" is still somewhat difficult.

But that was enough. Adam raised his hand, and all the clouds in the sky dispersed, revealing a terrifying face high in the sky, yet within that face shone a faint maternal glow.

That was the "fallen mother goddess" watching all of this.

Between that face and the real world, there seems to be a transparent film. At this moment, some small cracks have appeared on that "film," as if the face is about to split open.

Adam used the second blasphemous tablet to carve a special path in the astral plane, establishing a faint, unique connection between the location of the "Fallen Mother Goddess" and the island.

Because this island already had the "Fallen Mother Goddess's" arrangement, this special connection was prepared for the "Fallen Mother Goddess"! At this moment, the gazes from the starry sky were drawn over. They all noticed the actions of the Celestial Master and Adam and wanted to see what they were up to.
The Fallen Mother Goddess certainly sensed that special connection, which meant that she could send more power to that island, but she did not do so.

Having suffered too many losses at the hands of the "Sage" and the "Ancient Sun God," He would not easily act according to their wishes. In any case, He had already decided to abandon the clones on the island, as long as it did not affect the main body.

Just then, the Celestial Master reappeared a simple, ancient tower in the color of red copper. The tower was not large, and it was covered with ancient inscriptions, as if it contained endless power!
Mysterious Reappearance: Haotian Tower!

The brass-colored tower is upside down, with its base facing the sky.

The Fallen Mother Goddess had a bad feeling and immediately retreated, but the Haotian Tower generated a huge suction force that pulled her outside the barrier. Then, a power representing "new life" and "immortality" was sucked from the astral plane into the real world.

That power comes from the "Fallen Mother Goddess" herself. In addition to suppressing monsters and gods, the Haotian Tower also has the ability to absorb stars and transform the sun and moon.

At this moment, this ability was used to draw the power from the "Fallen Mother Goddess" to the island in the real world and pour it into that giant pillar that looked like black jade.

The "Fallen Mother Goddess" swayed her enormous, monstrous yet aesthetically pleasing body, easily resisting the powerful suction and regaining her freedom.

So far, the actions of the Celestial Master and Adam have had little impact on Him; on the contrary, they have allowed Him to project more of His power into the real world.

Other beings from the past gathered here, hoping to project more power into the real world through this channel.

Unfortunately, that passage was specifically set up for the "Fallen Mother Goddess," and unless the "Fallen Mother Goddess" is driven away, they have no way to replace this "pillar."

But the Fallen Mother Goddess felt no joy, for she knew very well that she had to leave as soon as possible. However, the Celestial Master used the Haotian Tower, which was "recreated" by the "Wilderness of Knowledge," to temporarily hold her back. Although he could not restrict her movements, she could only wander around the astral plane of Earth.

……

Somewhere in the astral plane lies the divine realm of the "Goddess of Night."

In a field where all she could see were deep sleep flowers and night-blooming herbs, the "Goddess of Night," who was watching the barrier, suddenly noticed the strange behavior of the outer gods.

He knew that the time He had been waiting for for over a thousand years had come.

Before this, He had already determined the location of the target through His believers in the starry sky.

Or rather, the main purpose of the "Goddess of Night" coming to the astral plane was to use her "dark" authority to secretly search for traces of those targets in the dark universe.

At this time, a tower made of books appeared on the edge of His divine kingdom. On each book in the tower was a bronze eye, which became darker as you went up.

The Outer Gods, who were observing the real world, were now focused on the Celestial Master and Adam, which gave the "Goddess of Night" and the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" a brief period of freedom to move around.

The "Goddess of the Night," whose exact face was obscured, suddenly sprouted two arms covered in short black hair from under her armpits. One arm held a heavy giant scythe, while the other held a miniature red moon.

The next instant, the figures of the two gods vanished into the dark divine realm.

Almost instantly, they appeared beside a planet deep in the universe.

This planetary system has no stars, but the planets and asteroids function in an orderly manner, as if there is a gravitational source that allows them to function properly.

The moment the two deities appeared, the "Goddess of Night" raised her hand, and the entire galaxy vanished, entering the "Hidden World."

Only then did one of the planets suddenly realize what was happening, and a crackling sound suddenly appeared in the space around it, which quickly spread in all directions.

It turns out that this planet is actually a life form, a "star dragon" that serves as an archangel to the "superstar overlord"!
There is no sound in space; that "buzzing" sound is a high-frequency electromagnetic signal.

And sweeping in all directions was a massive electromagnetic storm.

The space around the hit planets and asteroids became distorted, and all the laws of physics went out of control.

The violent electromagnetic storm rushed toward the "Goddess of Night" and the "God of Knowledge." The "God of Knowledge" outlined a series of mystical symbols in front of him, which crashed into the electromagnetic storm. Many key points that formed this destructive electromagnetic storm disappeared, and the entire storm vanished without a trace.

The "Goddess of Night" gripped her giant scythe tightly, stepped forward, and swung it at the fleeing "Star Dragon"... Yes, He was fleeing.

Although He possessed a massive life form and immense vitality, He knew very well that in the presence of the two true gods, the only way to save His life was to escape the "Hidden World" as soon as possible and immediately pray to the "Super Star Ruler".

But the "Goddess of Night" had no intention of giving her such an opportunity. The giant scythe in her hand became enormous the moment it was swung out, so enormous that it seemed capable of shattering a planet.

There was no sound in space, only an eerie silence. The giant scythe slashed across the planet, carving out its blood-red core, without making a sound.

But a mournful cry echoed in the "hidden space." The "Star Dragon" felt as if death had just brushed past its body, and its life was rapidly slipping away.

The scorching star core and the magma in the mantle dimmed at a speed that defied the laws of physics. This enormous life form died, and its spirit was quickly sent to the underworld.

The next second, the "hidden space" was deactivated, and the original location of the "Star Dragon" was now just a desolate planetary remnant.

His power did not come from a gift; within Him was a genuine Sequence 1 attribute. The "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" withdrew his attribute, and the two of them vanished from space.

The two deities' actions were not yet over; as if they had rehearsed countless times, they immediately appeared in another corner of the universe.

This planetary system appears to be relatively normal, with stars, planets, and asteroids. However, each solid planet is covered with a layer of rust-colored material, and the life on them struggles with illness every moment.

From birth, they are tormented by illness. Growth and aging occur simultaneously in the same organism at the same time. Before it loses its life, its body has already begun to rot.

On gas giants, you can also see obvious iron-gray plates, as if the planets are sick.

In the tranquil asteroid belt, a dark iron-colored monster, roughly humanoid in shape, sitting on a stone chair, suddenly opened its eyes.

In space, where there is no gravity, it is impossible to tell whether His body is head up, feet down, or lying flat. In other words, His posture cannot be described using planetary customs.

This is a "Time Giant" who serves the "Decaying King," roughly equivalent to a Sequence 2. The moment He opened His eyes, He saw the two gods attacking.

But then He closed His eyes again, as He was dragged into sleep by the "Goddess of Night".

The surroundings were endless darkness, and everything that happened here seemed to go unnoticed by anyone.

Mysterious symbols reappeared before the "God of Knowledge," and atop a tower of thick books, a bronze eye appeared, emitting a penetrating gaze as if it could see through everything before it.

The mysterious symbols instantly transformed into javelins radiating sunlight, precisely piercing every weak point of the "Giant of Time."

The "Giant of Time" did not react in any way and was purified on the stone chair. His spirit and the surrounding natural spirits were all taken away.

Then, the "Goddess of Night" waved her hand, and a black iron-colored metal object flew out from the other party. This metal object was constantly emitting a tormenting pathogen and a decaying aura. If it was not sealed, even the "Goddess of Night" and the "God of Knowledge" would get sick and show obvious signs of decay.

When the metal object came before the "Goddess of the Night," it instantly transformed into a thin black sword. Under the "Goddess's" seal, it appeared much more "docile."

This "Giant of Time" has no special characteristics; his abilities and status come from the "Decaying King's" gifts.

His duty is to guard a special seal for the "declining king".

He thought his hiding place was very well hidden, but the "Goddess of Night" still found him. Or rather, the more hidden his hiding place was, the easier it was for the "goddess" to find him.

The next second, the figures of the two true gods disappeared, and they instantly returned to the astral plane on Earth.

Having obtained what they needed, the two gods returned to their respective divine kingdoms.

In that field full of deep-sleeping flowers and night-blooming herbs, the "Goddess of Night" silently gazed at the barrier before her, as if she had always stood guard, as if she had never left.

Because He was "secret," His actions just now did not attract the attention of any person or deity.

Looking at the vast starry sky, the corners of the "Goddess of the Night's" lips curled up slightly on her face, which seemed to be veiled by a black gauze.

People only remember Him as "hidden," but few remember that He is also "darkness," and that the "Star" card represents Him.

This is because He has been using the uniqueness of the "moon" pathway to deceive the world. In addition, since the Fourth Age, the Celestial Master has been tampering with the "underlying knowledge," making most people and extraordinary beings accustomed to associating the "Goddess of the Night" with the "Crimson Moon" and "secrets."

Only some old folks from before the Quaternary period remember that the "Goddess of Night" is the star, is darkness.

In the seemingly boundless starry sky, in the deep darkness, the "Goddess of Night" can quietly use her authority to observe the Outer Gods and keep a close eye on the targets in the plan.

This is His main purpose in coming to the astral plane.

But He will not look into the old days, because they are easy to find.

In this respect, the "Goddess of Night" is very patient, and for the past thousand years, she has been focusing on doing this one thing.

……

The Misty Sea, on an island where Roselle's last mausoleum was built.

The Celestial Master focused intently on controlling the Haotian Tower, absorbing the power of the "Fallen Mother Goddess" into the real world and directing this power onto the giant pillar that resembled black jade.

In an instant, the vegetation around the giant pillar burst forth with vitality, and soon a small, dense forest grew.

Odis heard a distinct "humming" sound coming from the black jade pillar, followed by a bright radiance that shot straight into the sky and merged into the barrier.

On the barrier, those tiny cracks were actually slowly healing!

On the black jade-like stone pillar, the fleshy ball was rapidly withering away. It said in a hoarse voice, "It's no use. When it's time to break, the barrier will still break."

The Celestial Master smiled and said, "Of course I know, but before it breaks, the barrier will be very strong. The seven righteous gods only need to guard it in the astral plane. There is no need to keep supplying power to the barrier."

As he spoke, the Haotian Tower that had "reappeared" disappeared. The black giant pillar that the "Fallen Mother Goddess" had personally arranged, after being modified by the Celestial Master, had established a new connection with the "Fallen Mother Goddess" and would continuously draw power from her to repair and support the barrier.

Previously, the "Fallen Mother Goddess" had dreamed of being able to smoothly send power into the barrier, but now, she couldn't even sever her connection with the black stone pillar.

Although this power is insignificant to Him, His status is high enough that it can better maintain the barrier than the power of the seven gods.

But no matter how tight the barrier was, the special passage opened for the "Fallen Mother Goddess" remained open.

Adam's power was relatively weak at this time, so the channels he established were also relatively narrow, and the "Fallen Mother Goddess" could not descend too much power at once.

Everything is just right.

If the "Fallen Mother Goddess" does not want her power to be used by the Celestial Master, she can only flee far away and hide in the depths of the universe.

As long as the distance is far enough, the black jade-like stone pillar will not be able to absorb power, but the "Fallen Mother Goddess" will definitely not leave at such a critical moment.

The Celestial Master looked at the shriveled and fallen fleshy ball on the stone pillar, smiled slightly, exchanged a glance with Adam, and then disappeared from mid-air.

Adam put away the "blasphemous tablet" and disappeared from the sky.

Between the sky and the ground, the clear energy from the island continuously flows towards the barrier high in the sky.
