In a "forest" woven from countless blue-green vines, a pumpkin carriage emerged from the void and came to a slow stop.
After stepping down from the pumpkin carriage, Bernadette summoned several Invisible Servants carrying strangely designed metal boxes.
At her gesture, the metal boxes in the Invisible Servants' hands opened on their own, and one item after another flew out.
There was a pale mask gleaming with a metallic sheen, a cold, diamond-encrusted vertical eye, a glass cup, and several supplementary ingredients needed to concoct the "Sage" potion.
She held the pale metal mask, which had an opening only where the eyes belonged and no other gaps. It then solidified into an extremely complex and mysterious three-dimensional symbol.
The instant the three-dimensional symbol touched the diamond-encrusted vertical eye, which glimmered with a pure light, it shattered with a crash.
After the vertical eye vanished, countless blue-violet specks of light emerged from the void, gradually forming a slowly rotating vortex.
In less than half a minute, the vortex of countless specks accelerated and converged, turning into a mass wreathed in a cold radiance.
Bernadette leaned back, letting the newly formed Beyonder Characteristic and the supplementary ingredients she had prepared fall into the glass cup.
Under the constant stirring of an invisible hand, the ingredients in the cup quickly melted and blended together.
At last, they became a cup of cold liquid bubbling away. A transparent eye lurked inside every bubble.
Bernadette looked carefully at the "Sage" potion in her hand, a deep violet glint flashing in her eyes.
Then she brought the glass cup to her lips, tilted her head back slightly, and drained it in one go.
After a brief moment of rigidity, her body suddenly disintegrated, transforming into torrents of complex, illusory information.
