Chapter 420 The Truth (Part 2) “Stop right here…
"Let's stop here. The materials used in this place can block most spiritual perceptions. Combined with the barrier outside, it should be enough to stop that man from snooping." Bermuda paused, waved his hand casually, and closed the only entrance and exit here.
"I didn't expect you to be so wary of Garkaface," Reborn said. "It seems those Avengers weren't fooling us."
"Of course." Bermuda nodded, sitting on the shoulder of the Avenger who had come in with him, and took a deep breath. "Now, it's time to get down to business. The truth behind Alcobaleno."
When Reborn and Sawada Tsunayoshi heard this, their eyes suddenly became stern, while the player remembered the rainbow pacifiers at the door that looked like petrified and became a little absent-minded.
Bermuda: "As the murals you just saw show, there aren't only seven of the strongest babies, Arcobaleno, in this world today. They've actually existed for a long time."
Bermuda: "And the secret behind the curse of Alcobaleno is actually because of the pacifiers they carry."
Sawada Tsunayoshi's eyes widened: "What? Is this really the case?"
Reborn said calmly, "You'd better tell me something I don't know."
Bermuda lowered his head and chuckled softly, "As expected of Reborn-kun, you truly possess a brilliant mind. What if I told you that Alcobaleno was actually a human pillar created by Gaccafice to protect the pacifier?"
Jinzhu? It's an irrefutable adjective.
Reborn lowered his head and looked at his pacifier, his expression unclear.
Human Pillar... The player raised his eyes and felt that the word was somewhat familiar.
Oh, by the way, when the player returned across the world for the first time and Mr. Yoriichi emerged from the sword and discovered the problems with the player, Dazai seemed to have said something similar.
"The pacifiers are cursed treasures that must never be destroyed, and therefore they require someone powerful enough to protect them." Bermuda's tone was filled with hatred, and the atmosphere around them began to grow unstable. "And the Rainbow Child is merely a sacrifice, protecting their glory with his own life!"
Reborn: “…”
Bermuda: "In the final analysis, there's no difference between the Rainbow Proxy War and the Destined Day. They're both ways for Garkaface to find candidates."
Bermuda: "That man's ultimate goal is to find the seven strongest people in the world today, and then replace them with the next Alcobaleno."
Sawada Tsunayoshi: "What? What will happen to Arcobaleno now?"
"For those current Arcobalenos who have been exploited by Gakafis, there is only one outcome for them, and that is..."
"Death." The player, who had been carefully collecting and integrating information and had not spoken for a long time, clenched his fists and suddenly said.
No, this must not be allowed to happen.
"That's right," the Avenger beside Bermuda said. "The vast majority of Alcobalenos whose rainbow pacifiers are taken away will die. Even if the few exceptions do survive, they can only survive by maintaining their obsession with revenge while under the curse."
"As for what will become of the surviving Arcobalenos, I'm sure you have some idea of what will happen to them, right?"
"Yes, the surviving Alcobaleno are you..." Reborn's gaze lingered on the Avenger who had taken off his robe, and he said firmly, "That's right."
"It seems you've anticipated this, Reborn-kun." Bermuda was even more surprised. "I'm really becoming more and more interested in you."
***
So that's how it is. Based on everything the player has experienced, with the two smart people talking to each other, the player finally figured out most of the truth of the matter.
Bermuda and the Avengers were all once Alcobaleno. Unwilling to die and out of hatred for the instigator of all this, they awakened the flame of death for revenge - the Flame of Night.
Because the death flame generated by negative emotions and the way cursed power is born are similar, and those who control the night flame are all extremely talented... No wonder it can have an impact on the fusion of the world.
However... thinking of those skeletons, the player subconsciously looked at his fingers that had touched those bones, thinking deeply.
Resentment, unwillingness...
Maybe... there are other reasons besides the existence of Night Flame.
After surviving, Bermuda joined the Avengers in establishing the Avengers in the other world, and swore an oath with Giotto, the first of the Vongola family, and Simon Cozart, the first head of the Simon family. Later, while searching for the secret of the Rainbow Children as a supervisor of the other world, he also continued to pay attention to the Vongola Ring, the Simon Ring, and the Marley Ring kept in the Kirionero family.
Putting the Rainbow Pacifier, Vongola Ring, and Mare Ring all within his sight, this decision really kills two birds with one stone.
According to the course of the destined day, Garkaface will appear in front of the successor of the rainbow pacifier he has chosen at the moment the pacifier is handed over. Perhaps for this reason, Bermuda chose to forcibly intervene in the war in this way, and find ways to win over powerful forces to prepare for his subsequent revenge.
Human lifespan is limited, and the duration that each generation of Rainbow Children can persist is also limited. From the first Vongola to the tenth Vongola, there must have been several generations of selection in between.
But... even so, Bermuda did not succeed in finding any trace of Gakafis. That guy hid really well.
Being able to cleanly trace his tracks so cleanly, besides his immense strength, there must be other reasons - for example, the peculiarity of the Flame of Death.
Eliminating other possibilities, the only possibility left is...
"It can't be the fog attribute..." the player suddenly muttered.
Suddenly, Sawada Tsunayoshi seemed to sense something, looked over with some confusion, and asked in a low voice: "Aurora? What's wrong with you?"
The player shook his head: "I'm fine, I just got distracted. You guys continue chatting."
"Hmm..." Tsunayoshi Sawada nodded hesitantly, even though he focused his attention on the little baby wrapped in bandages. After all, the other party now had quite a lot of clues, which were related to Reborn's personal safety. It was also a secret that Reborn and Aurora had been very afraid of, so Tsunayoshi Sawada could not help but pay attention to it.
It was Reborn who noticed that Aurora was in a bad mood and couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.
But now is obviously not a good time to talk.
Reborn paused his thoughts and continued to repeat Bermuda's words, while the player blinked and fell into deeper thought.
…
…
With a direction to think about, it becomes much easier to connect the clues.
First of all, when accepting the mission commission, Gacaphis issued it in the form of illusion projection. Secondly, players have transparent eyes, and most illusions are no different from non-existent in the eyes of players. Even the world's recognized top warlocks at that time could not do anything to players, and there were very few cases where players were defeated by illusions.
Make bold guesses and verify carefully...
The only person who can confuse the player into this state with illusion, besides Gakaphis, among the people the player has ever met, is... the white-haired man who knocked him out the moment he met Dabailan on the way to escape after a conflict with her in the future!
[Congratulations to the player for discovering the true appearance of 'Gakaphis'. Intelligence +2]
Player: "That's right!"
The player is simply a genius!
Gakaface... turns out to be Kawahira!
——————————
Bermuda: "Mr. Reborn, how about accepting my invitation?"
Bermuda: "I sincerely hope that you can become our companion and defeat Gakaphis together with us."
Reborn: "Why are you so obsessed with me? Feng, Coronillo... The others also have very strong fighting abilities."
Bermuda: "Of course, because you are the most special one."
…
…
Bermuda is really persistent about Reborn. Unlike when he invited the players, they didn't get along well and started fighting as soon as they disagreed.
The player watched the increasingly heated conversation between the two parties, holding his chin and lost in thought.
Although we know the true identity of Garkaface hidden under the iron hat, this matter obviously cannot be told to the Avengers. As of now, if the players directly tell them the true identity of Garkaface and his whereabouts, they will definitely be furious and rush straight to Garkaface to duel.
Not only would this alert the enemy, but based on their fighting power alone, they probably wouldn't be able to win.
The player turned around, looked the Avengers up and down, then shook his head quietly, decisively gave up this plan, and decided to find other ways.
All of these things happened because of the human pillar who was the rainbow pacifier.
The fundamental reason why the "human pillars" appeared was because of the instability of the world. Although we don't know what role Gakaphis played in it, from the perspective of the world, there was nothing wrong with his actions. Only Bermuda and the others... there was nothing wrong with them.
Only players know that if a world can successfully merge with other worlds, then its own energy will become abundant again, and the world with enough power to support the world barrier will naturally no longer need human pillars.
But other people are different. They are not aware of this. Those who are more or less aware of the fusion of the world will gradually have their perception blurred due to the world's protection mechanism. Therefore, for them, the continuation of the rainbow pacifier is an unsolvable problem.
The Night Flames, fueled by revenge, will affect the stability of the world, but their owners have actually lost their lives because of the world's stability. Even now, those petrified pacifiers still contain their remnant souls filled with resentment, so rough methods cannot be used.
According to Bermuda and the Avengers, when the Rainbow Proxy War reaches its final moment and the winner is decided, Gakaphis will appear and take away the rainbow pacifier of this current Alcobaleno.
Once Reborn and the others lose their pacifiers, there are only two possible outcomes, apart from death or becoming like the Avengers, so... it's absolutely not allowed!
The fusion of the worlds is not going smoothly, but the affairs of the old and new Alcobaleno cannot be delayed any longer, and other methods must be found before the Rainbow Proxy War ends.
The player thought about it for a long time, and finally an idea came to his mind!
