Volume 7 The Inverted Man Chapter 37 – Revitalization

　　”Already dead ……”

　　Edwards turned his head and looked at Bernadette’s “invisible servant” with his light blue eyes, his gaze was no longer cold and wooden, but flickered with a strange light, filled with the color of disbelief.

　　Until this moment, he seemed to realize that he had long been dead and “alive” again, and that there was no essential difference between him and William, Perley and Green, who needed to be guarded against.

　　This change only lasted two seconds, Edwards’ face suddenly distorted, the already greenish-white skin quickly dimmed, inch after inch tearing.

　　Underneath the skin, pieces of bright red flesh began to rot at a speed that could be seen, dripping downwards with a foul-smelling yellowish liquid.

　　With a brush sound, Edwards raised the iron black axe in his hand.

　　Poof!

　　He chopped that axe hard into the top of his head, as if to stop bad thoughts from popping up within his mind.

　　The axe was heavy and sharp, and it broke right through Edwards’ skull, splitting all the way down to between his eyebrows.

　　Tick, tick, tick, a drop of milky white brain matter slid down the mouth of the axe, down Edwards’ twisted and torn face, like pouring some milk on a bright red strawberry.

　　”Don’t, don’t come near me ……” After giving himself an axe to the head, Edwards opened his mouth to Bernadette’s “invisible servant” in a hard and hoarse voice.

　　Before the words left his mouth, his expression returned to dullness, his eyes gradually became wooden, and he turned his body and walked towards the forest where he came from, one step at a time.

　　That tall, thin, dry body bent slightly, seeming to hunch over all of a sudden.

　　Bernadette had just tried to ask a question because she had too many doubts and concerns about entering that mausoleum, so she had to indirectly point out the problems that existed in Edwards himself to see if she could find more clues from his answer, but who would have known that this knight who had spread fame in the North Continent during the Rossel period would have reacted so fiercely and strangely.

　　After two seconds of silence, Bernadette had the “invisible servant” say to Edwards’ back:

　　”Your descendants have done well, all of them have accomplished something.”

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

　　His target direction seemed to be the Stonehenge Cemetery, where the dead could get a “new life”.

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

　　The faint black color that had filled the sky had obviously disappeared, but there was a certain indescribable feeling that the entire primitive island had changed in a subtle, indescribable way.

　　Suddenly, hidden at the edge of the invisible boundary, Bernadette backhandedly touched her back.

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

　　After her left palm touched the target, Bernadette realized that the extra was a piece of hair.

　　At this moment, she was wearing an Intis-style female shirt with large lace flowers at the neckline, an indigo blue captain’s coat with floral patterns, beige pants and near-knee boots underneath, and a tricorn hat with a feather inserted on her head, and she was dressed like the leader of a pirate ship.

　　With this image, her long chestnut-colored hair was originally tied into a half-pillowed head that just reached her undershirt, but now, although her hairstyle remained unchanged, her hair had instantly increased by a good length, and was already hanging down to her waist.

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

　　Without surprise or panic, the “Queen of Mysteries” followed the instincts of the “Master of Prophecy” and the experience she had accumulated over a long period of time, and took a few steps forward, passing through the invisible boundary, completely leaving the primeval forest and entering the “Black Emperor’s” mausoleum. Black Emperor” tomb is located in the open area.

　　During this process, Bernadette also let the “invisible servant” return to the spirit world.

　　Three or four seconds later, she felt the earth begin to shake slightly, and the mausoleum also had an obvious tremor.

　　Subconsciously, Bernadette looked back at the virgin forest.

　　At this look, her gaze had a brief freeze.

　　The huge dark green and black trees waved their branches and pulled out their roots one after another, and then, just like human beings, they approached Bernadette.

　　The entire virgin forest came to life!

　　Looking at that dense, almost cover the sky of the trees like a tidal wave of influx, Bernadette actually produced a sense of the end of the world, all places will be covered by the forest.

　　The huge red dragon with flames flowing from its skin quickly flew high into the sky, and the eight-legged demonic wolves began to run wildly between the trees……. All of the transcendent and mutant creatures on the island became agitated and came in the direction of the mausoleum.

　　Although he is a “master of prophecy”, but Bernadette still did not expect his simple, not directly point out a question will bring this level of mutation, as if that is a key, opened the door to the abyss.

　　Klein above the gray mist on the contrary saw more, and combined with his own mastery of occult knowledge, had a certain guess:

　　”Edwards’s condition was somewhat different from William’s, Green’s and theirs, like a loophole in the kind of order that existed on this pristine island, or rather, a shadow ……

　　”When he realized that he was long dead, this loophole this shadow was discovered by the order and began to encounter a ‘fix’.

　　”And the ‘mending’ brought about an enhancement of that order, causing the entire island to mutate.

　　”I can feel that there is a certain degree of ‘Black Emperor’ power in there, it’s what influenced Edwards to keep a part of his own will after his ‘new birth’, and where did the original island’s original order come from?

　　”Huh… ……”

　　As Klein’s thoughts electrified, he suddenly noticed a certain mutation in Bernadette herself.

　　Plop, plop, plop, plop, Bernadette vaguely heard her own heartbeat.

　　The rhythm of this heartbeat was quite chaotic, as if it was a mixture of two voices.

　　Two …… Bernadette’s heart fluttered and calmly returned her attention to herself.

　　In the next second, she identified two sources for the heartbeat she heard:

　　One came from her heart and one originated from her abdomen.

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

　　Moreover, this “heart” is still growing a little bit!

　　Without the need to use her “secret peeping” ability to look at her abdomen, Bernadette directly sensed that there was a fetus in her stomach.

　　”It had grown from the size of a raisin to the size of a normal human’s palm, and it was still growing, and it seemed that in a short time, it would mature, tear open the mother’s abdomen, and come out in a bloody mess.

　　Unconsciously, Bernadette was carrying a fetus, and neither her psychic senses nor the seals on her were able to detect it in advance and make a block, seemingly powerless to deal with the effects.

　　”Mother Earth Goddess” …… “Primal Moon” …… “Mother Tree of Desire “…… Three god names flashed within Bernadette’s mind at once.

　　As far as she knew, there weren’t many mysteries that could cause such a change, and most of them originated from the realms related to the pathways of the Earth and the Moon.

　　–Sequence 0 of the “Cultivator” pathway was called “Mother”, “Primordial Moon” gave stones the ability to reproduce, and “Desire” gave stones the ability to reproduce. The “Primordial Moon” can give stones the ability to reproduce, and the “Mother Tree of Desire” is suspected of possessing some of the extraordinary properties of the higher sequences of the “Moon” pathway.

　　Instead of rushing to deal with the fetus in her belly, Bernadette let her eyes grow dark once more, using her prophetic powers to see what her next best option would be.

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

　　”The hope of survival lies within the mausoleum.”

　　Without hesitation, Bernadette stretched out her right hand and sketched out words with starbursts one after another in midair.

　　These words, similar to the kind of writing on the “Profane Tablet”, quickly intertwined into strange symbols, opening a “secret door” that led to the depths of the spirit world.

　　Immediately afterward, the “secret door” opened up, and a gale blew out, transforming into a man with a human upper body and an airflow lower body, wrapped in white cloth.

　　”Sage Forehead.” Bernadette commanded in a calm tone and authoritative voice.

　　The man responded respectfully and removed an ornament from within one of the white cloths wrapped around his body.

　　At the center of the ornament was a vertical eye made of diamonds, which shone with a pure light, giving people an unusually holy and wise feeling, but at the same time, it seemed rather cold and without warmth.

　　Bernadette then took the jewelry and “set” it into the center of her forehead.

　　This is a “0” level seal, Bernadette usually will not carry with her, because the negative effects are too serious.

　　However, at this moment, this “Sage Forehead” had an ability that was quite important to Bernadette, and she was willing to suffer the consequences of not being able to use all of the deviant and foreign types of magic, and the extraordinary characteristics would gradually affect her body and blend in little by little.

　　–If she can’t remove the “Sage’s Forehead” in a relatively short time, Bernadette would be like having a Sequence 2 magic potion poured on her body, and by then, she would either be one of the lucky ones who succeeded in advancing to “Sage”, or she would go out of control and go crazy, and become a “Sage”. At that time, either as a lucky winner, successfully promoted to “sage”, or out of control crazy, turned into a monster, and in the absence of auxiliary materials, did not hold the corresponding ceremony under the premise, the former probability is so low that it can be almost negligible.

　　After an additional diamond vertical eye was added to her forehead, Bernadette’s body began to vaporize, disintegrating into strand after strand of ponderous knowledge.

　　In an instant, she turned into a pure information flow creature.

　　The fetus in her stomach, which hadn’t gained this state, snapped and fell to the ground.

　　”Slightly half the size of a normal baby, it had already developed its senses and limbs, and its skin was wrinkled and dripping with sticky pus.

　　As it was separated from its mother, it gradually degenerated and quickly dissolved into the air.

　　Obviously unwilling, the baby tried to open its eyes, which were closed by the mucus, and opened its mouth, which had sharp teeth, to make a final struggle.

　　At this moment, above the gray fog, Klein tapped the edge of the mottled table with his fingers.

　　Snap.

　　He magnified the probability of the baby’s struggle failing.

　　That baby finally couldn’t sustain itself and completely dissipated in front of the forest that was approaching this way in black.

　　At the same time, Bernadette became a torrent of information that passed through the heavy stone door and entered the interior of the “Black Emperor’s” tomb, reorganizing her original body.

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