Could it be that the Black Giant Hand that broke through the mausoleum and appeared on the island in the prophecy of Bernadette, and the body that it pulled to leave the mausoleum, was not the "Black Emperor" Roselle, but the power of "Mother Goddess of Depravity" that came to the earth? My attack just now broke a certain balance and made this possibility a reality?
Angel held a flag in one hand and a sword in the other, with an uncertain expression. He didn't know whether he should continue to attack again and completely tear apart the shadow that wanted to kill him just now, or temporarily evacuate the mausoleum to avoid further irritating the opponent and let "Crimson Moon" arrive early.
But the balance has been broken at this time, and it would be too irresponsible for me to leave like this... Her thoughts changed quickly, and she immediately decided to put aside the small conflict with "Roselle" and suppress the blood Red Light that was about to overflow first, at least to restore balance with the power of Black Emperor.
But now, only the personalities of Great Old One and Sefirah can fight against Great Old One...
Thinking of this, she loosened her grip on "Sword of Glory" and let it emit dusk light, making the new Red Light on the black shadow of Roselle subtly dim. Bone Sword disappeared like a ghost, and then stretched out her index finger.
A drop of bright red blood oozed out from her fingertips, and was dyed purple-black in an instant. Then it was pulled up by an invisible force and floated towards the high platform in the center of the mausoleum.
The blood-red light struggling to get rid of the entanglement of the black shadow seemed to be lured by it, all facing this direction, making the human-shaped shadow become as bright as Crimson Moon on one side, but as dim as the night sky on the other.
At this moment, the drop of blood of Angel burst out with an aura of destruction from within, and the round surface due to tension emerged, containing all colors and representing all possibilities, Chaos Vortex.
At the moment when the blood Red Light light came into contact with the blood, the power of "Chaos" solidified, and "Calamity" descended here.
That is a ray of Sefirah power sent by "Mirror Person" in City of Calamity.
The blood-colored light condensed into substance receded as if stimulated, trying to avoid the drop of blood that had just been impatient to approach, but it was too late.
Starting from the position of contact, the Crimson Moon-like light was completely dimmed as if it had been swallowed up, and quickly spread to the inside of the Roselle black shadow, making the light shining from all parts of his body to the outside world uncertain.
Taking advantage of this momentary opportunity, the creeping shadow on His body grew purposefully, covering the cracks cut by Angel one by one, completely wrapping the bloody light.
Once again, the figure on the huge chair returned to its appearance when he first saw it, becoming a shadow giant with flesh and blood crawling inside his body.
It seems that the balance has been restored. Although "Mother Goddess of Depravity" is one of the strongest Pillar, its body is not within the barrier. This is just a wisp of his breath, otherwise "City of Calamity" would also It's just a projection, there's no way to restrict Him... Angel just breathed a sigh of relief watching this scene, and the black shadow of Roselle, who was slumped on the throne, turned an angle, looked at her again, and stretched out a hand.
In an instant, the distance between her and the shadow was reduced to less than one meter by Distortion. A giant hand several times larger than a normal person grabbed her face, and the sticky shadow that could corrode everything seemed to be about to erupt.
After suppressing the power of "Mother Goddess of Depravity", Roselle did not hesitate to attack Angel again!
Snap, Angel's figure shattered into crystal fragments. The main body appeared not far away, and jumped up quickly, avoiding another grab by Roselle.
Such a situation gives her a headache. If the Roselle shadow is completely defeated, the "Mother Goddess of Depravity" power in his body will revive, and he will quickly regenerate and reproduce, trying to control Roselle; Suppressing the power of "Mother Goddess of Depravity", Roselle, who has already gone crazy, will attack all targets in the mausoleum at all costs. If he touches it, he may also be contaminated by Mother Goddess of Depravity.
Moreover, Angel suspected that Roselle, who had been subconsciously suppressing the power of "Mother Goddess of Depravity", attacked her because he was worried that outsiders would break his body's balance.
Perhaps the only way is to directly destroy the mausoleum and send "Black Emperor" to its complete demise. However, Black Emperor's ritual does not completely rely on the nine mausoleums. As long as the order he created is still there and there are still people who remember him, he can be resurrected from Astral World. It would be better to be trapped in the mausoleum. Middle... Angel tried to counterattack while avoiding the pursuit of Roselle's shadow, but never dared to use the power of "Grafting" to attack the main body of the mausoleum again, so as not to give the divine power of "Mother Goddess of Depravity" a chance to breathe again.
Suddenly, the bottom of the huge closed stone door of the mausoleum became translucent, and two figures, one tall and one short, walked in quickly. It was Bernadette and Anne who were waiting outside.
Roselle, who was constantly chasing the agile and dodging Angel, immediately turned back and without hesitation Distortion closed the distance between him and the two of them. Black Giant Hand stretched out towards the taller Bernadette like a claw.
Before Angel could use Mirror Labyrinth to block it, Anne on the side reached out and pushed towards the huge black shadow, "imprisoning" it in place.
Although the difference in personality means that this kind of confinement can only last for a very short time, Bernadette has seized this opportunity, stepped forward, and pronounced a Chinese word eloquently:
"Hometown."
Those were two "special symbols" that Roselle taught her when she was still alive. They had magical powers that could protect her.
At this moment, this simple Chinese made the black shadow of Roselle, who had just broken free from the "imprisonment" and was about to extend his black hand to Bernadette, stop, and his head with blurred outline slowly lowered, as if looking at his daughter with non-existent eyes.
"Dad..."
Bernadette murmured, this time, Intisian was used.
Based on the black shadow's reaction, she was now certain that the other party was Roselle Gustav, who died more than 150 years ago.
The black shadow stopped struggling and moved, and just looked at Bernadette quietly. Behind him, Angel remained vigilant, ready to pull Bernadette into Mirror World to avoid possible contamination.
After a long time, a hoarse, dry voice echoed in the silent mausoleum:
"My daughter...
"My...hometown."
The first sentence is Intisian, and the latter sentence can only be understood by Angel. They are also in well-spoken Chinese. They are full of hesitation and confusion, as if they are seeking some kind of confirmation.
Then, two gaps opened in the black shadow, roughly at the head. As soon as the faint blood Red Light inside leaked out, it was firmly bound by the resurfaced black shadow inside the body. Then, another longer and wider crack appeared below the crack, also hiding blood, just like a human's eyes and mouth.
"I'm glad you came to me, but now is not the time," He said with his own "mouth" this time, "You should be able to tell that I have been... contaminated in some way."
Bernadette's blue eyes were filled with sadness, and what she had been worried about was finally confirmed.
Then, the black shadow of Roselle turned his head slightly, looked at Anne on the side, and said softly:
"Adele...Anne, I once said that you can leave me at any time and pursue your goals. After all these years, have you still not found your destination?"
"That's not what you said when you fished me up from the bottom of the sea," Anne's expression was cold, but there was a strange emotion in his golden eyes, "My destination is not with Above the Five Seas, nor with other people."
Roselle seemed stunned, and nodded after a moment, and the entire black silhouette became more solid.
Then, He looked at Bernadette whose expression was almost broken again, and said in a tone full of majesty, as if giving an order:
"Now, seal me and get out of here."
