Volume 7: The Inverted Man Chapter 35: “New Life”

　　Through the Eye of Secrets, Bernadette saw that the interior of the dark red shrine was empty and devoid of anything but the usual curtain of shadows that shrouded reality.

　　Unable to predict anything from this, she had to withdraw her gaze and, following her own intuition, sent the Invisible Servant towards the other end of the open area, which also belonged to the virgin forest with its huge trees.

　　Meanwhile, since the Invisible Servant couldn’t get too far away from her, wearing the Invisibility Hat, she quietly followed behind, not too fast or too slow, through the area where all the creatures of the entire island had gathered before.

　　Here, the sky always seemed to be a bit gloomy, filled with a light black color.

　　As time flew by, the Invisible Servant entered the interior of the forest, where the branches of the trees sloped down to obscure the sky, and the sky suddenly dimmed before her eyes.

　　Immediately afterward, that pair of nearly transparent, cold, indifferent, and imperceptible “peeping eyes” saw through the dim environment, and noticed that among the trees there were one set of pale corpses after another, and on many of the branches and trunks, there were skulls, rotting corpses, and other things hanging down.

　　Some of them belonged to gargoyles, some came from bird-like creatures, some had eight legs, and some were a strange giant tree in their own right, filling up the gaps in this forest completely.

　　At a glance, it was as if Bernadette had arrived at a graveyard, and a scene naturally surfaced in her mind:

　　Those transcendent creatures gave birth to their offspring before dying, passing on their extraordinary characteristics to them, while struggling themselves, coming from all directions to this area of the primitive forest, looking for a place that was not occupied, facing a certain direction, quietly dying, gradually decaying and turning into white bones.

　　What does this place mean to them? As a “Master of Prophecy”, Bernadette was fully convinced that the images she had created in her mind were real events, but wondered what power had made the creatures of this pristine island choose this place as their graveyard.

　　Furthermore, the long-dead Grimm, William, and Perry all seemed to be alive in some state, and it didn’t make sense that the transcendent and mutant creatures that had been staying on this island and suffering from more contamination would be completely dead.

　　This made Bernadette frown slightly, and drove the “invisible servant” to continue to move forward, deeper into the “biological cemetery”.

　　In this way, the Invisible Servant traveled for nearly a quarter of an hour through the forest filled with white bones and rotting corpses.

　　Finally, it saw a fourth thing beyond the trees, weeds, and corpses.

　　It was a black stone pillar, which was as thick as five or six people’s arms, thirty or forty meters high, with one circular weathering mark after another on its surface, just like wearing one ring after another that didn’t fit.

　　Bernadette let the “eye of mystery” look at the stone pillar for several seconds, but did not find any mystery in it, it seems to be just a symbol erected casually.

　　”The Invisible Servant looked around, and realized that the area around the pillar was not badly decayed, and was still covered with fairly intact flesh and skin.

　　The non-existent transcendent power, different from other places of strange effect …… unless the new dead are passively gathered near the stone pillar, otherwise it is impossible to have such a uniform trend …… Bernadette initial suspicion that this place is not the absence of the mysterious, but must be a specific moment to be able to to manifest itself.

　　She did not use her “prophecy” ability to find the cause, because the essence of the “prophecy” is to peer into the river of fate, the more serious the problem involved, the higher the level and level, the greater the damage caused by the backlash to her, and the current incomprehensible situation can not be understood. Bernadette was not cautious, fearing that it would be associated with an unknown, terrifying existence.

　　In addition, it had not yet harmed her, so she did not need to take the risk of making a “prophecy”.

　　”After searching for a while and not finding any clues, the Invisible Servant continued on, trying to cross the graveyard to another part of the primeval forest.

　　Just then, Bernadette heard a rustling sound.

　　It was the sound of a breeze moving through the branches and leaves, a tidal wave in the void.

　　It was the first time since she boarded this strange island that Bernadette had felt a wind.

　　Subconsciously, she made the “invisible servant” turn back and looked at the black stone pillar.

　　In the “Eye of Mystery”, the corpses around the pillar, the rotten parts fell off one after another, and new flesh and blood grew like its own spirit, and the skin gradually covered this horrifying picture inch after inch.

　　This change only lasted less than ten seconds before it stopped, and a small number of the corpses no longer showed any traces of decay, looking as if they had just died.

　　In the next second, a mutated curly-haired baboon and an eight-legged demon wolf staggered to their feet.

　　Their fur was slightly white, their skin was slightly dried out, and their eyes were wooden and cold.

　　Then the two otherwise dead creatures each took their own direction and left the graveyard in different places.

　　Bernadette watched with frozen eyes and slightly raised eyebrows, finally understanding why the creatures on this island struggled to come to this area before dying, why they must die here:

　　Here, the end of death was not connected to eternal slumber, but to a new beginning!

　　Moreover, this is not the kind of “resurrection” that the “Necromancer” evokes in the living corpses and skeletons, but the “new life” with a certain will and vitality.

　　The underlying rules of the world are twisted and confused here? In addition, there seems to be a little bit of the mystery of the resurrection of the “Black Emperor”…… However, the state of those who have been given a new life is not quite right, and it is closer to the resurrection of living corpses …… This kind of resurrection being A big problem ah …… gray fog above the Klein also saw this scene, the heart has a lot of speculation.

　　Of course, this is all based on the premise that the Great Emperor did leave the last tomb here and exerted some kind of influence.

　　In a flash of thought, Klein tentatively dismissed this idea again.

　　Because, a similar situation existed on this primordial island before the Great Emperor became an angel, as evidenced by that long-dead Grimm!

　　Well, the specifics of that time may not be what they are now, perhaps, there have been distortions and confusion compared to back then …… Klein nodded his head gently, ready to shelter Bernadette.

　　Bernadette also made a certain guess, did not let the “invisible servants” stay in place, waiting for the next “newborn tide”.

　　This was because she predicted a development:

　　After being affected by the “Newborn Tide” many times, the “invisible servant” had strangely developed some kind of will and “came to life”!

　　In addition, the “invisible servant” had not failed to explore the black stone pillar before, but it had not been able to find the special features of the black stone pillar, and Bernadette did not think that it would be able to gain any additional benefits if it continued to stay there.

　　In this case, rather than the possibility of alarming an unknown existence in-depth research, as much as possible to grasp the general situation of this primitive island, to build a holistic knowledge is a better choice.

　　Often times, the answer to a question that could not be clarified in the front part might be in the back area.

　　This was the experience Bernadette had accumulated over the years.

　　Between the giant trees and branches of the corpses with the “invisible servants” gradually become scarce, this process, Bernadette found another phenomenon:

　　In the “Newborn Tide”, it is not a certainty that some corpses will be resurrected, but once they are resurrected and a blank area is left behind, the rest of the corpses will be attracted to the central area as if they were metal attracted by magnets, and will move stiffly and stagnantly to fill in the corresponding positions in turn, as if they were waiting for their gifts in a queue.

　　The Law of Convergence of Extraordinary Characteristics? No, unlike, the dead here have all inherited their own characteristics …… Bernadette suddenly thought of a problem as her thoughts diverged:

　　It’s impossible for the dead who get a new life to regrow extraordinary characteristics, so do they still have the same abilities they had before they were born?

　　When the situation of this island has a more complete grasp, we can find a “resurrection” to test …… Bernadette quickly made a decision, along the “invisible servant” to explore the road ahead. She made a quick decision and followed the path that the Invisible Servant had identified.

　　She didn’t use any extraordinary ability other than the “invisibility cap”, trying not to disturb the environment and not to miss any details, so she didn’t walk very fast, and it took her almost a quarter of an hour to leave this graveyard.

　　By this time, the “invisible servant” has already drilled into the forest ahead, heard the occasional sound of birds and beasts roar, and felt different from the rest of the region’s vibrant vitality.

　　Above the gray mist, Klein let out a secret sigh:

　　”Fortunately, I am now the master of ‘Source Castle’, and I have the Angel King’s realm here, so I can gaze at reality for as long as I want, and I don’t have to worry too much about running out of spirituality… Well, the only thing I need to pay attention to is the body that is hidden in the city of the old days before the first epoch within the Mists of History. ”

　　The “invisible servant” traveled on for a few more minutes before suddenly seeing something that didn’t quite fit in with the pristine island environment.

　　It was a wooden hut, as if it were the residence of a forest keeper.

　　The cabin was brownish-green in color, with a height of no more than two and a half meters, and seemed to have been prepared for humans, but all the details revealed roughness and simplicity.

　　At this moment, the door of the cabin was open, allowing Bernadette to see part of the situation inside through the “Eye of Secrets”:

　　A log-colored table, a fur-covered bed, and a low-backed round chair formed a picture of human habitation.

　　Who lived here? With a thought, Bernadette’s “invisible servant” quickly approached the cabin, searching for possible clues.

　　It then realized that the atmosphere inside the cabin was cold, and apart from the furniture, nothing else existed, so it seemed that no one had lived there for a long time.

　　Just as Bernadette was examining every detail of the cabin with the help of her “Eye of Secrets”, she suddenly had a premonition in her heart, and she asked her “invisible servant” to turn her body around.

　　At some point, there was a man behind the “invisible servant”!

　　He was dressed in the luxurious clothes of Rossel’s time, his hair was white, his appearance was old, and he had a pair of light blue eyes that were extremely cold and indifferent.

　　Edwards.

　　This was the knight who had survived for a while after the fall of the great emperor, the ancestor of “Iceberg Lieutenant General” Edwina.

　　Edwards gazed at the “invisible servant” for a few seconds, then suddenly opened his mouth and said in a low voice:

　　”Your Highness.”
