"He's dead..."

Edwards turned his head and looked at Bernadette's "invisible servant" with his light blue eyes. His eyes were no longer cold and wooden, but flashed with a strange light, filled with disbelief.

It was not until this moment that he seemed to realize that he had died and "come back to life" a long time ago, and was no different in essence from William, Perri, and Green, who he needed to be wary of.

This change only lasted for two seconds. Edwards' face suddenly twisted, and his already pale skin quickly darkened and torn inch by inch.

Under the skin, the bright red flesh began to rot at a visible speed, dripping fishy yellow liquid.

With a swish, Edwards raised the iron-black axe in his hand.

puff!

He chopped his head hard with the axe, as if to stop bad thoughts from coming into his mind.

The axe was so heavy and sharp that it broke Edwards' skull and struck right between his eyebrows.

Tick, tick, drops of milky white brain matter flowed down the axe blade and slid down Edwards' twisted and torn face, just like pouring some milk on a bright red strawberry.

"No, don't come near me..." After hitting himself on the head with an axe, Edwards spoke to Bernadette's "invisible servant" in a difficult and hoarse voice.

Before he finished speaking, his expression returned to being dull, his eyes gradually became numb, and he turned around and walked slowly towards the forest from which he came.

The tall and thin body was slightly bent, as if it had suddenly become hunched.

Bernadette had asked the question tentatively just now because she had too many doubts and concerns about entering the mausoleum, so she had to indirectly point out Edwards' own problems to see if she could find more clues from his answer. Who would have thought that this knight who was famous in the northern continent during the Roselle period would have such a fierce and strange reaction.

After two seconds of silence, Bernadette asked the "Invisible Servant" to speak to Edwards' back:

"Your descendants are all doing well and have achieved some success."

Edwards, with his back to the mausoleum, paused for a moment, then continued forward, passing through the invisible boundary and disappearing into the forest.

His target seemed to be the stone pillar cemetery where the dead could be "reborn".

At the same time, Bernadette looked up at the sky.

The faint black color that permeated the place had obviously disappeared a lot, but there was a certain indescribable feeling, and the entire primitive island had a subtle and indescribable change.

Suddenly, Bernadette, who was hiding at the edge of the invisible boundary, touched her back with her backhand.

She felt something heavy there, as if there was something extra.

After her left palm touched the target, Bernadette discovered that what appeared was a piece of hair.

At this moment, she was wearing an Intis-style women's shirt with large lace flowers on the collar, an indigo-patterned captain's suit as an outer garment, off-white trousers and knee-high boots, and a tricorn hat with feathers on her head. She looked like the leader of a pirate ship.

In this image, her long chestnut hair was originally tied into a half-bun, just reaching her vest. But now, although her hairstyle has not changed, her hair has instantly become much longer and has fallen to her waist.

Then, Bernadette lowered her head and looked at her right palm, and saw that the nails on all five fingers were growing out at the same time.

The "mysterious queen" was not surprised or panicked. Following the instinct of the "master of prophecy" and the experience accumulated over a long period of time, she took a few steps forward, passed through the invisible boundaries, completely left the primeval forest, and entered the open area where the "Black Emperor" tomb was located.

During this process, Bernadette also allowed the "invisible servants" to return to the spirit world.

Just three or four seconds later, she felt the ground begin to shake slightly, and the mausoleum also began to tremble noticeably.

Subconsciously, Bernadette looked back at the primeval forest.

When she saw this, her gaze froze for a moment.

The huge dark green and almost black trees waved their branches, pulled out their roots one after another, and then, like humans, approached Bernadette.

The entire primeval forest came "alive"!

Looking at the densely packed trees that almost blocked out the sky and came in like a tide, Bernadette actually felt as if the end of the world was coming and everything would be covered by forests.

A huge red dragon with flames flowing on its skin quickly flew high into the sky, and the eight-legged demon wolf began to run wildly among the trees... All the extraordinary and mutant creatures on the island became restless and headed towards the mausoleum.

Although she was a "master of prophecy", Bernadette had never expected that a simple question she had not directly asked would lead to such a change. It was as if it was a key that opened the door to the abyss.

Klein saw more above the gray fog, and combined with his own knowledge of mysticism, he made some guesses:

"Edwards' situation is somewhat different from that of William, Green and the others. It is like a loophole in the order of this primitive island, or a shadow...

"When he realized that he had died long ago, this loophole and this shadow were discovered by the Order and began to be 'repaired'.

“And the ‘repair’ brought about that increase in order, causing the entire island to change.

"I can sense that there is a certain degree of 'Black Emperor' power here. It is this power that has influenced Edwards, allowing him to retain a part of his will after his 'rebirth'. Where did the original order of the primitive island come from?

“Eh…”

Klein's thoughts raced as he suddenly realized that Bernadette herself had also undergone some changes.

Boom, boom, boom, Bernadette could vaguely hear her own heartbeat.

The rhythm of the heartbeat was quite chaotic, as if it was a mixture of two sounds.

Two... Bernadette's heart moved, and she calmly turned her attention back to herself.

The next second, she was sure that the heartbeat she heard came from two sources:

One from her heart and one from her belly.

There seemed to be an extra heart in her belly, expanding and contracting at a steady pace.

Moreover, this "heart" is still growing little by little!

There was no need to use her "voyeuristic" ability to look at her abdomen. Bernadette could directly sense that there was a fetus in her belly.

"It" has grown from the size of a raisin to the size of a normal human palm, and is still growing. It seems that it will mature soon, tear open the mother's abdomen, and crawl out covered in blood.

Before she knew it, Bernadette became pregnant, and her spiritual perception and the seals on her body were unable to detect it in advance and prevent it, and she seemed powerless to deal with the impact.

"Mother Goddess of the Earth"... "Primal Moon"... "Mother Tree of Desire"... three names of gods flashed through Bernadette's mind.

As far as she knew, there were not many mysteries that could cause such changes, and most of them came from areas related to the "Earth" and "Moon" pathways.

——The Sequence 0 of the “Cultivator” pathway is called “Mother”, the “Original Moon” can allow stones to gain the ability to reproduce, and the “Mother Tree of Desire” is suspected to have mastered some of the high-sequence Beyonder characteristics of the “Moon” pathway.

Bernadette was not in a hurry to deal with the fetus in her belly. She first let her eyes become deep again and used her prophetic ability to peek into what her next best choice would be.

This time, it took her only a second to get the corresponding prophecy:

"The hope of survival lies in the mausoleum."

Without hesitation, Bernadette stretched out her right hand and quickly sketched out one star-shaped word after another in the air.

These words, which were similar to those on the "blasphemous slate", quickly intertwined into strange symbols, opening a "secret door" that seemed to lead to the depths of the spiritual world.

Immediately afterwards, the "secret door" opened, and a strong wind blew out, transforming into a man with a human upper body and a stream of air with a lower body wrapped in white cloth.

"Sage's forehead ornament." Bernadette ordered in a calm and authoritative voice.

The man responded respectfully and took out an ornament from a white cloth wrapped around his body.

The core of this ornament is a vertical eye inlaid with "diamonds". It sparkles with pure light, giving people an extremely sacred and wise feeling, but it also appears quite cold and without warmth.

Bernadette then took the ornament and "embedded" it in the center of her forehead.

This is a "0" level sealed item. Bernadette usually doesn't carry it with her because the negative effects are too serious.

However, at this moment, this "Sage's Forehead Ornament" has an ability that is very important to Bernadette. She is willing to bear the consequences of not being able to use all evil and alien magic and having the extraordinary characteristics gradually affect her body and integrate it bit by bit.

——If she couldn’t remove the “Sage’s Headband” within a short period of time, it would be like someone had poured a Sequence 2 potion on Bernadette. At that time, she would either be lucky enough to be promoted to a “Sage”, or she would go crazy and turn into a monster. Without auxiliary materials and the corresponding rituals, the probability of the former was so low that it could be almost ignored.

After a vertical diamond eye appeared on her forehead, Bernadette's body began to fade away and decomposed into waves of complex knowledge.

In an instant, she became a pure information flow creature.

But the fetus in her belly did not achieve this state and fell to the ground with a plop.

"It" is about half the size of a normal baby, has grown facial features and limbs, and has wrinkled skin that is oozing with sticky pus.

As "it" separated from the mother body, the "it" that had not yet been fully formed gradually degenerated and quickly melted into the air.

The baby was obviously unwilling to give up. He tried hard to open his eyes that were blocked by mucus and opened his mouth with sharp fangs to make a final struggle.

At this time, Klein, who was above the gray fog, tapped the edge of the mottled long table with his fingers.

Pop.

He magnified the probability that the baby would struggle and fail.

The baby was finally unable to sustain itself and completely disappeared in front of the dark forest approaching this side.

At the same time, the torrent of information transformed by Bernadette passed through the heavy stone door, entered the interior of the "Black Emperor's" mausoleum, and reconstructed her original body.

During this process, she seemed to see a black shadow.
