Roselle
In the end, the two Angel dragged several thousand people away from the place, and the matter was finally settled.
After everyone returned to their respective territories and recounted what had happened, the leaders, including the True God, tacitly made a decision: not to provoke the Pirate King Kingdom.
Adam has already become a god; his next step will undoubtedly be to strive towards his Great Old One.
It was unclear who he would target, so neither Aucuses Herabergen wanted to provoke him at this point.
As for Stiano, he clearly sensed that even though Adam had just become a god, he might not be his match.
This whole affair came to an end because of Adam's appearance.
For the next month or so, Kronos stared intently at the Blasphemy Slate, as if he were completely absorbed in it.
But Adam knew that Kronos was accepting the knowledge on the Blasphemy Slate in the most convenient way.
The knowledge contained within it goes far beyond just the names of a few Sequence and the Potion and Ritual required for advancement.
Since he was Knowledge Emperor, he must have been able to see the power he held through various Pathway.
Moreover, the Second Blasphemy Slate contains even more knowledge, Record the convergence Pathway of Aggregation of Extraordinary Characteristics that surpass those of the True God.
Therefore, this is definitely not something that can be fully grasped after just a glance or two.
Seeing Kronos at this moment, Adam was reminded of Roselle from more than two hundred years ago.
If he had given Roselle that opportunity back then and helped him afterwards, would he have been able to go further and become one of those who fought for the Apocalypse?
Adam shook his head, still feeling helpless.
Adam ultimately gave up on Roselle mainly because he was completely unable to solve Roselle's pollution problem.
This pollution turned Roselle into a ticking time bomb.
If the Mother Goddess of Depravity really makes her move, even if he becomes True God, it's hard to say whether he might be directly controlled and turn against her.
It's a real shame about this person; they should have gone much further.
Just as Adam was lamenting Roselle's demise, Kronos suddenly turned his head and looked in one direction.
The reason Kronos came to his senses was actually because of Emperor Roselle.
After Bernadette and Klein stopped George III's Apotheosis Ritual, she set sail alone into the Fog Sea aboard her Dawn.
She had only one goal this time: to find the Primitive Island that her father had Record.
After entering waters without safe passage, Bernadette seemed to lose her sense of time. If it weren't for the precise wall clock hanging in her Captain's Cabin, she would have surely forgotten how many days she had been in this dangerous area.
The fierce winds and torrential rains made the boats bob up and down, as if foreshadowing the coming of the Apocalypse.
Bernadette waited patiently, without interfering too much with the Dawn's situation.
After an unknown amount of time, the storm finally subsided.
Just then, some dark outlines appeared in the distance; it was a Small Island.
As the Dawn approached, the situation on the Small Island became clearer.
On the island, towering, dark green, almost black trees stand tall, covering the ground and obscuring the mountain peaks.
Although Bernadette couldn't be sure if this was the Primitive Island her father had visited, a Clairvoyant's intuition told her that this was very likely the place she was searching for.
Whether to inform Mr. Fool or to gain Mr. Fool protection, Kronos took the initiative to recite Mr. Fool's Honorific Name.
What Kronos noticed was this Honorific Name of the Mr. Fool.
Long before George III's Apotheosis Ritual, Kronos, through Klein, sent his Power of Time to Bernadette.
This mark was only noticeable to Kronos.
However, since it wasn't a professional eavesdropping method, it was still quite difficult to observe Bernadette's every move.
Moreover, Kronos didn't know where the Primitive Island was, nor could he determine when Bernadette found it.
In this situation, Kronos devised a clever method to determine Bernadette's arrival at her destination as soon as possible.
That is determined through the Honorific Name of the Fool.
Bernadette would never casually utter the Fool's Honorific Name, so if she did, then the time had come.
Although Kronos was in a state of receiving knowledge, he still received a reminder from Bernadette immediately.
Seeing that Kronos had suddenly woken up, Adam asked with some confusion, "What happened?"
Since the Information was transmitted through the Power of Time, Adam couldn't possibly intercept it midway.
Kronos smiled broadly and said, "An old friend I've never met before has appeared. I'm going to go and see him."
After saying this, Kronos gently placed the Blasphemy Slate on the long table in front of him, then turned around and disappeared from the spot.
Adam possessed a very high degree of divinity, so the emotion of curiosity had long since vanished from his emotions. He neither asked nor actively sought to investigate; he simply put away the Blasphemy Slate.
Using the Power of Time to pinpoint its location, Kronos traveled to the Small Island next to the Dawn.
Whether due to the power of the Concealment Cloak or the difference in their status, Bernadette would have absolutely no way of detecting him if Kronos hadn't wanted to.
Bernadette followed the Ball of Yarn that indicated the direction, Kronos followed Bernadette as they walked into the island.
After walking for a short while, we came out of the Woods and found ourselves in a wide-open space.
Countless creatures were crawling there.
Among them were red Dragon with flames flowing from their skin, tree- Tree Person with burls serving as eyes and fissures as mouths, eight-legged Demon Wolf, Giant with deformed limbs, feathered Feathered Serpent that resembled small hills just by coiling up, and all sorts of creatures that were a mixture of humans and Beast.
At this moment, they were all facing one place, their upper bodies or heads prostrate, as if worshipping some unknown being, and none of them made a sound.
There were even a few humans among them.
Kronos certainly wouldn't recognize them, but according to the original text, they were the "knights" who first accompanied Emperor Roselle to the island.
Emperor Roselle believed he had solved the island's pollution problem and made it his secret base, but he was wrong.
Edwards and Benjamin Abraham, who ultimately died off the island, eventually returned to it.
Even Emperor Roselle himself!
Bernadette sent her Invisible Servant to find the source of the worship of these creatures, and they eventually found a simple Shrine made of dark red wood.
Upon arriving at the front of the Shrine, they found it completely empty, devoid of any Badge or Symbol.
Bernadette continued to send her Invisible Servant to search, trying to find more Information.
But somehow, a person appeared behind the Invisible Servant!
He was dressed in luxurious clothes from the Roselle era, his hair was completely white, his face was aged, and he had a pair of light blue, extremely indifferent and wooden eyes.
Edwards.
This is the ancestor of "Vice Admiral Iceberg" Edwina, the knight who lived for some time after the fall of the Great Emperor.
Edwards stared at the Invisible Servant for a few seconds, then suddenly opened his mouth and said in a low voice:
Your Highness.
Edwards somehow recognized Bernadette, and Bernadette, no longer hiding anything, began to speak with him directly.
Finally, Bernadette, led by him, arrived at the last Tomb left by Emperor Roselle.
Looking at the Tomb, Kronos sighed inwardly, "If it weren't for hiding the Tomb here, Emperor Roselle would truly be dead."
But as Kronos got a little closer to the Tomb, he became even more cautious.
The pollution is so strong!
When Kronos was Astronomer, he had received the power of the stars countless times, and naturally he had witnessed all kinds of corruption.
The pollution here was more intense than anything Kronos had ever seen in his life, surpassing even the Beyonder Characteristic left behind by Trunsoest.
The pollution in the Hand of Order was merely Consciousness act of depravity from Nation of Disorder, but this place is entirely different.
This was all the methods the Mother Goddess of Depravity used to control Emperor Roselle.
Of all the Outer Deity, Kronos feared the Mother Goddess of Depravity the most.
She single-handedly Capture and controlled both Emperor Roselle and Mr. Door, making her the absolute MVP among the Outer Deity.
Bernadette wasn't as perceptive as Kronos, so she didn't Consciousness anything unusual about her surroundings and quickly approached him.
The corruption of the Mother Goddess of Depravity was no joke; even if it was just Roselle's emanation, it still had a significant impact on Bernadette.
She actually got pregnant!
Bernadette came to see her elderly father, only to find out that she was pregnant.
And she was accompanied by a man named Kronos.
Goodness, this kind of scene is perfect for some melodramatic TV series; it could make many episodes.
However, Bernadette's reaction was commendable; she directly found a way to break the deadlock through the prophecy.
Through the power of the Sage Diadem, she directly transformed into a state of Information Stream, and the Infant was naturally excluded from the Information Stream.
Under Klein's influence, the Infant simply died.
After transforming into Information Stream, Bernadette entered the Tomb through its stone gate.
Kronos watched as Bernadette entered the Tomb, but he remained motionless.
He did not want to show himself at this time.
Emperor Roselle is still not fully awake, so he is Consciousness of anything.
But once he woke up, he could still sense what had changed in his Tomb.
Once he directly points it out, Kronos will truly appear before Bernadette and Klein.
Kronos was now Consciousness practicing his own path—"the Hermit."
Although they didn't get inside, the eavesdropping still continued.
Kronos amplified the power of Power of Time within Bernadette and began to observe her closely.
Next up was a battle between father and daughter.
Having long lost himself, Roselle attacked Bernadette without hesitation.
Even if Klein wanted to help Bernadette from the Sefirah Castle, they were no match for Roselle.
Until Bernadette finally uttered the word "homeland".
Only those who live away from home can truly understand the significance of their hometown.
Roselle, who had lost himself for who knows how many years, suddenly "woke up" at this moment.
With the combined efforts of Bernadette and Klein, Roselle was sealed away and even regained consciousness for a period of time.
Next, Kronos lost all interest in the conversation between Roselle and Bernadette.
The emotional connection between father and daughter meant nothing to Kronos.
However, he was certain that Roselle had not told Bernadette any clues about the Beyonder Characteristic of the Knowledge Emperor.
As Kronos suspected, Emperor Roselle had absolute control over everything in the Tomb.
When Klein appeared after Bernadette left, Roselle wasn't surprised at all.
He sensed Klein's attack from above the Sefirah Castle, and should also have sensed the Sefirah Castle's aura, since he himself came from there, only he took the wrong Pathway and couldn't control the Sefirah Castle.
Facing their "next-door" brother, the two of them coincidentally made a reference to Ancient Dragon.
"You've come."
"I am coming."
The ensuing conversation was almost identical to that in the original story, a sharing of experiences between two fellow villagers.
However, one thing changed: Blasphemy Card.
When Roselle asked Klein how many Blasphemy Card he had collected, Klein mentioned Mr. Fate.
Upon hearing that someone was collecting his Playing Cards in a frenzy, Roselle frowned slightly.
Unless it's someone in your own Sequence, Blasphemy Card is practically useless for other Pathway.
And given how powerful he is, could he be a Knowledge Emperor?
The emergence of a Knowledge Emperor wouldn't have much impact on Roselle, since he was no longer considered a Hermit Pathway.
But what about Bernadette?
The brief encounter was enough for Emperor Roselle to realize that his daughter was still on the Hermit Pathway.
Besides the Hidden Sage, now there's another Knowledge Emperor on this Pathway, so the way forward is basically blocked.
As a doting father, Emperor Roselle thought for a moment and then said, "Brother, could you please tell that so-called Mr. Fate that I'd like to meet him?"
"No need to go through him, I'm already here." The voice appeared in the Tomb along with a Knowledge Torrent.
