Chapter 447 The Projection of the Abyss, the Gaze of the True Creator
Because Edwina Edwards had given her crew a heads-up, none of them were surprised when they saw the warm light emanating from the Golden Dream. Instead, they instinctively began to run and quickly took their combat positions, ready to fight at any moment.
At the same time, a bright but unreal ball of yarn appeared in Bernadette's right hand, one end wrapped around the increasingly fast-spinning blasphemous card, the other end shooting into an unknown void, as if it had entangled something.
Mystery reappears—Ariadne's Line.
In that instant, Bernadette reached out and pulled, and the entire "Golden Dream" seemed to be subjected to a strong force, rushing directly towards the unknown other side.
Klein and the others seemed to have anticipated this, grabbing onto anything they could to steady themselves, unlike when they first entered the ruins of the God War.
However, the Golden Dream was moving too fast, so fast that they were all a little dazed and felt a sense of weightlessness.
As soon as the "Golden Dream" came to a stop, before they could even react, Bernadette stepped out and entered a void portal that appeared out of nowhere. The next second, she appeared outside the ship and charged toward a large ship not far away, over two hundred meters long, with its bow and stern raised high like a crescent moon, and a black tombstone painted on its sails.
This is the ship of the immortal king, Agarito – the Deathstalker!
Upon exiting the cabin and reaching the deck, Klein and his companions discovered that they were now at the very point where they had entered the ruins of the God War. Not far away, there was an exploration vessel being besieged by several ships under the command of the Undead King.
Agaritou clearly did not expect to encounter the mysterious Queen Bernadette in the place he knew best.
But he wasn't too panicked, because this was the ruins of the God War, which was, in a sense, his home ground. He had to run here even when Bernadette was chasing him, precisely because he was confident that he could deal with Bernadette here.
So, just as Bernadette appeared and the battlefield besieging the exploration ship in the distance came to a standstill, a pale-faced young man with arrogant eyes appeared on the deck of the Deathscythe.
Before everyone's eyes, the man instantly transformed into a nearly 5-meter-tall figure with dark, sinister skin, curved goat horns on his head, and a pair of giant wings covered in mysterious patterns like bat feathers spread out behind him. Surrounded by blue flames, he resembled a legendary demon, emitting a cold laugh.
The crew of the "Golden Dream" felt dizzy upon seeing the patterns on the demon's body and involuntarily closed their eyes.
This is the true form of a demon. If an extraordinary being below the level of a demigod were to look directly at it, they might even lose control.
Even though everyone had closed their eyes in time, they were still contaminated. The bursts of cold laughter that reached their ears acted like a catalyst, ignoring their hands that were covering their ears and going directly into their brains, exacerbating the contamination they had received.
In an instant, everyone on the Golden Dream was filled with desire, their faces contorted in agony as they struggled to resist Agarito's death-inducing words.
Even Klein, who was protected by the gray fog, felt overwhelmed. He felt all the negative emotions he had hidden in his heart were instantly detonated, and many evil emotions that should not have existed were also bred. Edwina Edwards, who was next to him, was not much better off. Two of the crew members even had blue fish scales appearing on their bodies and were on the verge of going out of control.
Hovering in mid-air, Bernadette, who had just conjured a dark horn in her hand, bore the brunt of the firepower and couldn't help but close her eyes, as if fighting against the emotions in her heart.
Only Miss Sharon, skilled at controlling her emotions and wielding the scepter, remained calm. She quickly raised the scepter, transforming the light covering the "Golden Dream" into a dazzling dawn, calming the emotions of everyone on board and dispelling the demon's babbling as much as possible.
The scepter's effect was very obvious; most people's conditions immediately improved, and even the fish scales on the two crew members who were about to lose control disappeared, temporarily relieving the crisis.
The Witcher is always the natural enemy of demons, even sealed artifacts.
Just then, as if they had been preparing for this, the pirate ships that had been besieging the adventure ship turned around at the same time and rushed toward the "Golden Dream" at high speed, and opened fire on the "Golden Dream"!
Supported by the "dawn" light emanating from Miss Sharon's scepter, most of the crew of the Golden Dream calmed themselves down. Upon hearing the distant cannon fire, they all endured their physical discomfort, quickly activated the ship's extraordinary defenses, deactivated the ship's mysterious cannons, and began preparing to retaliate.
Vice Admiral Edwina Edwards took her place as captain and began issuing orders to her crew, while Klein put away the blasphemous token, looked around, and then disappeared from the deck, his whereabouts unknown.
The Undying King's reputation is not solely based on his strength; the power of his subordinates is also crucial, including many Sequence 5 experts.
So even though Miss Sharon is on board the Golden Dream, she still needs to use her scepter to fend off Agarito's possible desperate counterattack at any time, and cannot easily take action. Therefore, the Golden Dream is actually quite dangerous right now.
Everyone else ignored the "Death Sentence" message; it was the Mysterious Queen's thing, and their interference would only drag their teammates down.
Bernadette almost instantly shook off Agaritu's emotional influence and frowned, realizing that Agaritu's abilities were far superior to her own.
She had fought Agaritu many times while chasing him, so Bernadette was certain that the "eating words" she had just heard were something Agaritu couldn't have done.
This reminded her of the warning Miss Sharon had given her: Agarito wouldn't sit idly by and wait to be killed in the face of her pursuit.
Although she was secretly on guard, Bernadette's hands moved quickly, and she brought the horn to her lips and blew the ancient horn.
A deep horn sound rang out, and the space around the "Death Scream" shattered wherever the sound waves passed, as if a mirror had been broken.
Agaritu, standing at the head of the fleet, was completely immobilized, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
But at that moment, a mocking smile appeared on Agaritu's face, and his whole body suddenly burst into a ghostly blue flame. At the same time, every part of his body began to melt like a candle in the flames, and even the Magic Horn could not stop it in the slightest.
At the same time, an alarm bell rang in Bernadette's mind. Ignoring Evan's idea of "Death Call", she took out her strongest sealing artifact, Pale Death, and put it on her face.
As far as Bernadette could see, everything turned grayish-white. Even the ocean below was inevitably heading towards death, with more seawater constantly surging in and more ocean "dying".
Just as the blue flames on Agaritu's body were about to die, his sacrificial act seemed to be forced to stop.
The entire ship, "Deathsend," suddenly trembled, and then a projection appeared behind it that seemed to embody all the filth, evil, sin, and depravity of the world.
Even through the pale shadow of death, Bernadette could feel the depravity and filth emanating from the projection, and looking directly at it made her feel irreversibly headed toward losing control. Although she had always had a good grasp of potions, she still felt herself teetering on the edge of corruption.
What's most terrifying is that she felt no fear at all; instead, she felt an urge to throw herself into it.
This feeling intensified after the dark projection split open in the middle, revealing an open, blood-red eye.
At that moment, a word involuntarily came to Bernadette's mind.
"abyss"!
Isn't the entrance to the Abyss on the edge of the Misty Sea?
The "Ruins of Gods War" can actually open the entrance to the abyss?
Who is He? The legendary "dark side of the universe"?
Bernadette had witnessed Grisha's attack and felt the gaze of the true creator, so she was certain that the owner of that eye was definitely a god, a god no less than the true creator.
Even Miss Sharon, who was watching the battle from afar, felt immense pressure. Her face turned even paler, and her emotions fluctuated wildly, as if she had encountered a terrifying natural enemy. The scepter in her hand could not give her any sense of security. Although the blood-red eye did not look at her at all, she still felt that she was about to give up.
The appearance of the giant red eye in the sky seemed to grant all the demons present a tremendous boost. The demons on all the ships let out maniacal laughter and kept conjuring fireballs with the smell of sulfur in their hands, hurling them at the "Golden Dream" like cannonballs. The impact caused the Golden Dream's protective surface to vibrate, putting it in grave danger.
Just as Bernadette seemed to be tempted by the huge red eye and wanted to throw herself into it, a golden, miniature water jug suddenly jumped out of the void. The jug was covered with mysterious and complex symbols, but instead of water, it spouted a lamp wick.
The wick ignited spontaneously without a flame, and the light it emitted was like a viscous stream of water, spraying upwards and forming a blurry and distorted pale golden figure.
The figure ignored the arrogant laughter of Agaritu, who continued to burn himself, and instead frowned at the cold, evil red eye.
And after the golden figure appeared, that eye actually showed a kind of emotional fluctuation for the first time, and the burning Agaritu below began to burn faster once again.
The golden figure sneered at the sight, glanced back at Bernadette who was becoming increasingly powerless to resist, pointed a finger at Bernadette's mask, and then quickly retreated back into the water bottle.
"Pale Death" once again radiated a deathly light, enveloping Bernadette's entire body, as if to turn her into a completely dead person.
"Pale Death" seemed to suddenly spiral out of control at that moment, beginning to turn against its master, Bernadette.
Just as the "Pale Death" was becoming more and more like Bernadette, as if it were going to be stuck to her face forever and become one with her, Bernadette finally raised her hand and placed it on the mask, tearing it off.
The threat of death finally awakened Bernadette's reason, freeing her from the "temptation" projected out of sacrifice and restoring her clarity.
However, the danger alarm was not yet lifted, because Agaritu, who had just been sacrificed as a "summoning projection", reappeared in the same location and began to sacrifice himself again, with his whole body emitting scorching flames.
This also means that the temptation from the abyss will continue!
The so-called Agarito is just a substitute; the real "Eater of Words" is the Death Call. In other words, this sacrifice does not harm it at all; it only consumes its representative.
Is this why it has been tirelessly using the "Fountain of Youth" scam to deceive generations of adventurers for so many years?
Exploiting the resentment of adventurers upon discovering the truth, they use this opportunity to complete one "devil's" ritual after another, cultivating "Sequence 4 demons"—material for sacrifice at crucial moments—to summon the Abyss? To summon the dark side of the universe?
The more critical the situation, the calmer Bernadette became. As her mind raced, deducing why there were "Agaritu" sacrifices to be made, she herself transformed into a torrent of information, completely freeing herself from all the influence of the "Abyss" projection on her.
Then he immediately returned to his original form and appeared above the Golden Dream. His left hand moved swiftly in the air, creating a message out of thin air, which he then injected into the Golden Dream's hull.
This information can amplify the effect of the scepter in Miss Sharon's hand, briefly bringing it to the power level of Sequence 2, so that the people on the Golden Dream will not be affected by the Abyss projection for these few seconds.
At the same time, a very ancient-looking spear appeared in her right hand. The spearhead emitted a flashing cold light, and from the spearhead to the end of the shaft, there were clusters of dark red blood, as if they were the blood of some great being.
The mystery reappears—the Spear of Longinus.
As soon as the spear appeared, the red eyes regained their emotions, and nine burning Agarito suddenly appeared on the "Death Scream" below. Even the "Death Scream" itself emitted a painful sound, as if it was about to disintegrate at any moment.
Moreover, with the appearance of this spear, the various residual divine powers in the nearby ruins of the divine war began to surge violently.
Suddenly, a massive bolt of lightning pierced the sky, and the blazing sun appeared simultaneously, making the entire sea seem as if it had returned to the epic divine war at the end of the Tertiary period.
Most importantly, a faint shadow suddenly appeared, and in the middle of the shadow emerged an eye that looked down upon all living beings.
