Chapter 449 The Genie's Weakness
After tidying his clothes, Klein rushed to the cabin window, wanting to check on the situation of the "Golden Dream".
Both the "Dark Side of the Universe" and the "True Creator" have appeared. Klein really can't imagine what just happened. If the "Golden Dream" really had an accident, Klein would find it hard to forgive himself.
Bernadette noticed Klein's worry and smiled, saying, "Don't worry, the 'Dark Side of the Universe' has always targeted me, and the 'True Creator' has always targeted the Dark Side of the Universe, so they have never thought of targeting anyone else."
Miss Sharon's receipt of the scepter from Evan did have some effect, so they were all only seriously injured, but not in mortal danger.
Regardless, Klein's concern for his partner won Bernadette's favor; after all, who doesn't like their partner to have humanity?
Upon hearing this, Klein let out a long sigh of relief, glanced at the "Desire Apostle's corpse" that was condensing extraordinary properties not far away, and asked seriously, "Do you think this action by the 'True Creator' against the 'Dark Side of the Universe' was merely a coincidence, or was it premeditated?"
"They must have been prepared beforehand, otherwise, as beings of the same level, the Dark Side of the Universe couldn't possibly be completely powerless against the 'True Creator.'"
Bernadette had clearly thought about this question and gave her answer without hesitation.
"And as you said before, the Giants' Court in the dream of the God War Ruins is connected to the real Giants' Court and is a passage to the Forsaken Land, where the true Creator's kingdom is located."
Since we can deduce this fact, it is impossible that the "dark side of the universe," being a deity, would not be unaware of it.
But Chi deliberately chose to ambush me on the outskirts of the God War Ruins, which shows that He did not believe that the true creator would attack Him, and even if He did, Li would be able to handle it!
Therefore, the battle between the two gods could be decided in an instant, which must mean that the "true creator" had made preparations beforehand; otherwise, nothing could be explained.
Klein thought about it and felt that Bernadette's statement was logically sound, but the details did not stand up to scrutiny.
The most obvious question is: where did the "Dark Side of the Universe," which is the highest level of the "Demon" pathway, go with its signature ability, "malicious perception"?
The most famous and troublesome ability of "Demon" Path Beyonders is "Malicious Sensing," which makes it very difficult for opponents to ambush them.
Therefore, unless the "God of War" or the "Goddess of Night" is involved, Klein does not believe that the "dark side of the universe" is unable to detect the "true creator's" conspiracy.
But now that such a big commotion has occurred, if either the "God of War" or the "Goddess of Night" gets involved, it will definitely not be kept secret from the other gods.
This will certainly provoke the three gods: the God of Storms, the Eternal Sun, and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, and the world situation will immediately descend into chaos with no room for maneuver.
Therefore, Klein did not believe that the "Dark Side of the Universe" was defeated because it was unaware of the "True Creator's" malice.
After listening to Klein's analysis, Bernadette's eyes darted around, clearly lost in thought.
Previously, she deduced from the result that the true creator had both intentional and unintentional schemes, which is why the outcome was decided instantly, without analyzing the specific issues in detail.
Her reasoning holds true for everyone else, but it absolutely does not hold true for the "Dark Side of the Universe," since the "Dark Side of the Universe," being a top-tier demon, cannot be ambushed.
"But if it's really as you analyzed, that the 'dark side of the universe' knew the malice of the 'true creator' but still appeared here, then many things become inexplicable."
For example, at the moment the "true creator" appeared, I clearly saw that the "dark side of the universe" showed no sign of fighting back and seemed eager to leave.
Knowing full well that there was a trap set for Him by an opponent, He still foolishly jumped right in without any preparation.
This doesn't resemble the mindset of a top-tier "demon" or a deity; rather, it's more like a irrational "gambler" recklessly betting on a losing proposition.
Bernadette dared not underestimate Klein at this moment and fully expressed her inner thoughts.
Klein, however, calmly gave her an unexpected answer.
"But what if this is the desired outcome of the dark side of the universe?"
"What? What do you mean?"
Bernadette felt as if she had grasped a spark of inspiration.
What if the dark side of the universe that actively walks into the trap and the dark side of the universe that discovers the trap and tries to escape are not the same person?
Klein became increasingly convinced that his deduction might be the truth, so without pausing, he continued, "You must have heard of the 'Mother Tree of Desire' and the 'Bound God,' right?"
Bernadette had already understood the meaning behind Klein's words. She stood there in shock, staring blankly at the man opposite her. Klein, however, showed no sign of stopping. He rested his chin on his right hand and continued, "The Mother Tree of Desire corrupted the 'Bound God' more than a thousand years ago, completely changing the doctrine of the Rose School from abstinence to 'indulgence'."
This doctrine aligns perfectly with the concept of "the devil," and is very much in line with the long-lost concept of "blood worship." Furthermore, the "prisoner's path" and the "devil's path" are two adjacent sequences.
So after obtaining the "Abyss? Blasphemy Card", I once speculated that the "Mother Tree of Desire" might be the embodiment of the "Dark Side of the Universe"!
But based on your description today of the "Dark Side of the Universe" as exhibiting near-schizophrenic behavior, I have another bold guess: could this evil god, the "Dark Side of the Universe," have also been corrupted by some other evil god, just like the "Bound God"?
Klein's guess was very bold. After all, most people would not imagine that the "Abyss," which is said to be able to pollute the whole world, would one day be polluted. But Klein dared to think in this direction.
One reason is that he had already learned about the current state of the "Abyss" through Russell's diary.
On the other hand, because Jax went to Backlund to look for his whereabouts, he became somewhat wary of the "Mother Tree of Desire" early on, actively collecting relevant information and making some guesses.
Most people would think Klein was crazy if they heard what he said, but Bernadette was an angel, and the angel most capable of seeing through the secrets of the world. She had already vaguely guessed the truth of the world and had some awareness of the existence above the order, so she immediately accepted Klein's guess.
"You're right. Only in this way can we explain why the dark side of the universe would actively step into a trap and engage in a series of abnormal behaviors."
The essence of this matter is that the "True Creator" and the "Dark Side of the Universe" have joined forces to target the power that corrupts Him. The source of this power may be the evil god called the "Mother Tree of Desire," just as you said, the "Prisoner" pathway and the "Demon" pathway are adjacent pathways!
"The period of silence in the 'Dark Side of the Universe' largely coincides with the time when the 'Bound God' was corrupted!"
Bernadette understood the special nature of powers above the sequence, so she deliberately didn't point it out to Klein, but instead confirmed Klein's conjecture by combining some facts.
This, in turn, convinced Klein that the angels were already aware of the powers above the sequence.
Klein, still unwilling to reveal that he had guessed what was above the sequence, could only feign surprise, saying, "What kind of evil god could possibly corrupt the most defiled of evil gods? It's truly incomprehensible!"
Bernadette's eyes darted around, then she tentatively said, "Ultimately, this is just our speculation. If we want to confirm it, it would be best to ask 'Mr. Fool'!"
Bernadette had some doubts about whether the "Fool" was half a "Fool" or a real "Fool," so she wanted to take the opportunity to test him, and to test him openly.
Klein, of course, understood her thoughts and shook his head expressionlessly, saying, "I just prayed to Mr. 'Fool' in my heart, but he didn't respond. Perhaps there's something I shouldn't know!"
Bernadette's gaze sharpened, and she felt that this was Mr. Fool's response to her, and that there was indeed a power above the sequence involved behind it.
Klein, not wanting Bernadette to focus her attention on Mr. Fool, quickly added, "If our guess is true, the Dark Side of the Universe and the Bound God have been corrupted by an evil god. The True Creator clearly wants to take this opportunity to strike the Mother Tree of Desire, thereby facilitating the Aurora Society's attack on the Rose School."
The "dark side of the universe" aims to severely damage the "mother tree of desire," and to alleviate or even eliminate pollution.
I just don't know if they achieved their goal.
Bernadette gently shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.
After her red eye was severely injured and she let out a painful scream, she lost consciousness and didn't see the final outcome.
Seeing no further information, Klein walked to the "demon's" corpse, picked up the already solidified extraordinary characteristic, stored it away, and then said, "Let's wake the others first, and then discuss other matters!"
Bernadette gently shook her head, said "Close your eyes," and then extended her right index finger, beginning to draw in the air, creating incredibly complex and maddening mysterious symbols.
Klein was puzzled, but he didn't dare to be reckless, so he closed his eyes. When he opened them, he saw a golden talisman in Bernadette's hand.
"After the great battle just now, all the living characteristics of the 'Death Scream' have been sacrificed, and it is now a dead sealed object."
You can later use this spell on the "Death Spell" to seal most of its side effects.
This way, Miss Sharon could easily control the "Deathcaller" with that scepter, and even use it to impersonate the "Undying King."
The adjacent pathway to the "General Knowledge" pathway is the "Secret Seeker" pathway, which doesn't make sense for the "Craftsman" pathway.
What Bernadette could do, she couldn't.
Klein took the talisman from Bernadette and asked curiously, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Is something urgent?"
Bernadette glanced in the direction of the Northern Continent, then sneered, "With such a big incident this time, I naturally need to have a serious talk with my employer about compensation. We can't just let it go so easily, can we?"
Klein understood, and even urged him with a hint of excitement, "That's right, we should have a good talk with Evan and make him bleed money! By the way, are you able to get into Backlund now?"
"I received news a few days ago that Evan Horn has already set sail."
Bernadette found it quite amusing to look at Klein, who was excitedly encouraging her.
"Oh, so Evan has already set sail."
Klein thought of the angel on Bansie Island and wondered how Evan would deal with the pool.
"I will verify today's speculation from the sidelines as soon as possible. You can also inquire with Mr. Fool's other followers. You know how to summon my messenger, so feel free to contact me anytime if you have any news!"
"Mr. Fool, what other followers do you have? But you can discuss it with Evan afterward."
Klein, who was inwardly criticizing himself, quickly agreed.
Bernadette nodded, then her entire body, bathed in sunlight streaming through the cabin glass, dissolved into a pile of bubbles and vanished.
Seeing this, Klein felt a pang of envy, then left the pirate ship and boarded the nearby "Golden Dream" to try to wake up the unconscious crew members one by one.
After leaving the vicinity of the ruins of the God War, they found a deserted island. Bernadette stood on a large reef, her expression serious as she reached out to grab at the void. Ripples appeared where she reached out, and she took out a lamp that looked very much like a small kettle. It was none other than Emperor Roselle's most powerful relic, 005.
After Bernadette rubbed the pot with her hand, the wick at the spout spontaneously combusted, emitting a light that sprayed upwards like viscous water, forming a blurry and distorted pale golden figure.
"What? Are you ready to thank me for saving your life?"
The pale golden figure immediately invoked his "life-saving grace," showing no trace of human compassion.
Bernadette, who was familiar with the 005 user guide, didn't say a word, but just stared at the Genie.
Because she knew that as soon as she opened her mouth and acknowledged the life-saving grace, the genie would twist her words into believing that she had already made a second wish.
Moreover, she didn't feel that the genie had saved her life at all, because when she deduced that the "Mother Tree of Desire" might be an evil god above the order, she had already guessed the reason why the genie took the initiative to save her—the genie didn't want to fall into the hands of the "Mother Tree of Desire," as that might be a fatal threat to Him!
The genie merely scoffed, seemingly unconcerned, and then said, "Why did you call me out at this hour? Want to make a wish?"
