Chapter 753 Your emperor is back.
"Out, out?"
Isabella choked, and a rare trace of confusion flashed across her eyes.
"Yes, the prince has already assembled his army, and Castel's arms production line has been fully prepared and can be put into full operation at any time. And judging from your current appearance, it seems that you have almost recovered."
Indeed, Isabella had to rely on Bazel's body to appear in the world at the beginning, and even the flesh covering the bones was not complete.
But now.
Hughes looked Isabella up and down carefully.
The furnace was filled with flames everywhere, even on the queen's body, as if burning her flesh and blood, or as if her whole body was on fire.
Her fair skin, against the backdrop of the flames, looked like a blooming flower.
How can you still feel weak at all?
Isabella rubbed her chin and thought for a while, then finally sighed: "Okay, let's go out early."
"Why, you don't want to leave yet?"
"I really don't want to." Isabella admitted directly. "The calcination in your furnace seems to have made my body more stable. Do you remember the royal secret method I told you about?"
"The one who became a god?"
"Yes, it actually fits perfectly with this furnace. My strength grows every day inside. I have a feeling that if I stay in there for a while longer, even Galahad might not be able to defeat me."
Zeus raised his eyebrows. Galahad was a genuine extraordinary person. That meant that if Isabella stayed there for a while longer, she would become an extraordinary person too?
"Then I'm a little curious. If you can keep getting stronger, why do you want to go out? It's so much better to stay here."
"Huh? Are you testing me?" Isabella curled her lips. "What's the point of becoming stronger? An individual's strength can't withstand the tide of time. The Dragon Breath Cannon can't even stop an Investigator. It would take me more than half a year to reach the strength of an Investigator. How long would it take to build a Dragon Breath Cannon?"
"As long as I keep getting stronger, maybe I can conquer the entire world with my own strength."
"If that were the case, it should be the Holy See that is encircling us now, instead of us attacking the Rhine."
"You don't have any attachment to power at all?"
"How is that possible?" Isabella scoffed. "I'm incredibly greedy for power, but that's why I know that blindly piling up personal strength is just a trap."
A glint flashed in the queen's eyes. "My ancestors took the wrong path. They built the miraculous city of Rhine, but were bewitched by the transcendent and turned their attention to the pursuit of godhood. Actually, it's a very simple thing."
"The Vatican has gone the furthest in the field of the supernatural, yet they are extremely wary of technological advancements and don't care that much about supernatural powers."
"Aren't you worried that this is a conspiracy by the Vatican?"
"If we can just use force to crush it, there's no need for any conspiracy. If the Vatican had indulged in conspiracies and intrigues, it wouldn't have gotten this far."
“So, although I pursue power, I care more.”
“Value for money?”
"What is that? It does sound interesting, but it's also true. The pursuit of power should be based on a more precise method." Isabella looked at the flames around her with some reluctance. "If I stay here for many years, I might indeed become a god, but by then, Castel will undoubtedly possess even greater power. Perhaps you'll have already left this land, crossed the sky, and walked into the starry sky."
"Even if I become the god of this land then, what will it mean?"
"Also, if the ultimate goal of power is to become a god, then it would be somewhat..."
"boring."
Isabella uttered the word softly, and after a moment's silence, she smiled.
"Let's go. I've made up my mind. Go outside, into this world, and fight the most powerful enemy. Use their blood to pave the way forward. No matter what lies ahead, it's better than rotting here."
After saying that, she turned around and left, without any attachment to anything behind her.
Xius glanced at the residual souls of Bazel and Lina, turned around and followed them.
All these combined couldn't stir up any waves in the furnace.
Maybe they were still hoping Isabella would leave.
Zeus's will slowly dissipated. On the platform outside the furnace, Lord Zeus opened his eyes and looked up.
Isabella had just walked out of the door reserved for the furnace. At this moment, she put one leg on the edge of the furnace and looked towards the Blood Harbor.
The flames gradually faded away from her body, and the empress of the empire once again set foot on this land with her own body.
Now she no longer has a crown on her head, but there is no regret or nostalgia in her eyes. She just looks at the vast land and grins.
She doesn't linger on the past, nor does she care about the present, as long as she can move forward.
She stepped out of the furnace and closed the door, letting the sunlight fall around her.
"Nice to meet you, or - long time no see, Your Majesty." Zeus performed the most complicated etiquette in his mind. Unfortunately, he was wearing work clothes that were convenient for movement, and did not have the elaborately decorated formal clothes of the nobles, which did not look authentic enough.
Isabella burst out laughing and couldn't wait any longer. She pulled Hughes down the stairs. She had too many things to do, revenge to take, land to conquer, and enemies to defeat.
It was as if she was back to the day when she put on the crown. On that day, she was surrounded by enemies, but now she has an ally.
Then there is no reason to hesitate.
In the furnace.
With Isabella's departure, the furnace became quiet again.
The machine spirit didn't make a sound, but the dancing flames in the furnace could feel its happiness - the woman who had been sucking his strength all day and forcing him to listen to some mechanical principles was finally gone.
Everything else is fine, but the main thing is that I can't win by scolding her, so I get very angry.
After staying like this for a while, Jihun suddenly felt as if something was missing.
Without that impetuous figure, there are certainly fewer troubles and headaches, but it is also a bit boring.
——Of course, the machine soul did not miss the times of oppression in the past, it just felt that being idle was a bit unpleasant.
So it began to look at its own furnace with some irritation.
Bazel is in the furnace. He is the prisoner of that lord, and the machine spirit needs to keep an eye on him.
As for Lina's residual soul, it is just a fragment of consciousness and does not have much value.
The machine soul is the embodiment of the will in steel, so it can naturally find the two people in the furnace in an instant.
But the scene it saw made it a little confused.
Lina was explaining the principles of mechanics with a wooden expression, while Bazel, who was standing beside her, supported his chin with his hand and listened quietly.
what are they doing?
As if sensing the Machine Spirit's doubts, Bazel raised his head.
"Since I'm free anyway, I might as well attend a class. Isabella has put a lot of knowledge into Lina's residual soul. Do you want to join me?"
The machine soul snorted coldly and directly withdrew its consciousness.
It is a will born from steel, how could it listen to mechanical principles?
