Chapter 450 The Origin of the Bound God
"After that giant red eye was severely damaged by the True Creator, I lost consciousness again and don't know what happened afterward, so I would like to ask you for advice."
Bernadette doesn't believe in the genie. After being enlightened, she will give up her attention to this great battle, so she wants to learn more from here.
The reason why she didn't summon the "genie" in front of Klein was because the "genie" was too special, and Bernadette instinctively wanted to keep something in reserve in front of the "fool".
"Is this your second wish?"
The "genie" was not surprised at all by Bernadette's request, and instead asked with a smile.
Bernadette gently shook her head, but still looked quietly at the "genie," waiting for an answer, as if she were certain that the "genie" would tell her the truth.
Seeing this, the genie sneered and said, "You are just as cunning as your father, always thinking about getting something for nothing and making a fortune out of thin air!"
But this time I'm going to do the opposite of what you want and won't tell you the information you want!
The genie understood perfectly well that whoever spoke first would be at a disadvantage.
Bernadette, without hesitation, reached out as if to retrieve 005, muttering to herself, "Since I can't get any information from you, I'll have to find it myself. Should I go directly to the Abyss of the Misty Sea, or to the Rose School of the Southern Continent?"
The genie looked at Bernadette with a hostile expression. He really didn't want to be coerced, but he could only warn her, "If you don't want to become prey delivered to your door, then you'd better behave yourself."
You are no longer an ordinary person who wasn't even fully divine, but a true mythical being. Now you should know how high the heavens of this world truly are.
By the end, his tone was sharp, and the threat was palpable.
Bernadette, looking directly at the genie, retorted just as defiantly, "Curiosity is always one of the greatest driving forces for advancement, and it is also human nature."
Moreover, what just happened has crossed my psychological safety line. I can't just let it go like this; I have to find out what's going on behind the scenes!
Bernadette's firm tone revealed her unwavering determination, causing the "genie" to sigh inwardly.
This forced intervention was truly a losing proposition for Him.
If we hadn't intervened earlier, allowing Bernadette to be corrupted without our knowledge, the Spear of Longinus would naturally not have been able to reappear in the world. In that case, the true creator would not have been able to easily damage the dark side of the universe. As a result, it would have been very likely to fall into the hands of the "Second Sister," and there would truly be no chance of ever escaping.
But the consequences of His forced intervention to awaken Bernadette were also clear: His weaknesses were completely exposed, leaving him nowhere to hide. Bernadette understood what He feared and could now blackmail Him without restraint.
You won't tell me, huh? Then I'll go wherever you don't like, and I'll go see whoever you're afraid of!
Yes, Bernadette didn't say a single word that threatened Him, but to Him every word was a threat, which made Him, who had once "roamed the universe," furious.
Although he knew that Bernadette's threat would be mutually destructive and might not come true, there's always a chance of something unexpected happening.
What if Bernadette really dares to take the plunge?
Bernadette said this had crossed her psychological safety line, a point the "genie" also believed.
Furthermore, having spent so many years with Bernadette, the "genie" believed he knew her very well, so he really didn't dare to gamble.
As one of the most powerful beings since the birth of the universe, the Genie quickly abandoned his useless anger and began a rational analysis of the pros and cons. He quickly organized his thoughts and then solemnly said, "Alright, I can tell you what happened, but you must promise that after I tell you what you want to know, you will not try to threaten me or get anything more from me."
Bernadette was well aware that such methods would be difficult for an ordinary person to accept, let alone a great being, so she readily agreed, "I will never use the Mother Tree of Desire to threaten you again, nor will I tell anyone else about this!"
In order to appease the genie as much as possible, Bernadette added additional restrictions to herself.
"Very well, just remember this: if you break your promise, even if all the gods in the world were to join forces, you would still perish!"
The genie was clearly pleased with Bernadette's tact, but by the end he was becoming increasingly authoritative, as if he were proclaiming a law.
Bernadette felt no restraint, but deep down she took it even more seriously, for the power of punishment is unpredictable if the punishment is unknown.
At the same time, she gleaned a glimpse of the genie's identity from the way he displayed his abilities.
This ability is very similar to that of the "arbitrator" approach; it is a significant aspect of this approach.
Just as Bernadette was lost in thought, the "genie" began to fulfill his promise.
"That creator you speak of," obtained the extraordinary characteristic of a "Sequence 1 Divine Abomination" from the "Abyss"!
Bernadette's eyes flickered slightly, unable to conceal her inner emotions.
As the founder of "Elemental Dawn", she had excellent access to information. Not to mention that Robert and Evan didn't hide many things from her, so she always knew about the war between the Aurora Society and the Rose School in the Southern Continent!
What Bernadette didn't expect was that the true creator would target the "dark side of the universe" in order to deal with the Rose School.
This also shows that her and Klein's previous guess was correct: the one who "pollutes the dark side of the universe" and the "bound god" is the same evil god—the Mother Tree of Desire.
The "Mother Tree of Desire" should be one of the evil gods she could vaguely see when observing the starry sky.
No wonder the "Bound God" was born in the Second Age, but ultimately, unlike the "God of Craftsmen" who was born later, he never ascended to become a god.
I used to think that the ritual of becoming a god was difficult to complete, the anchor of faith was insufficient, or there were other reasons. Now it seems that He lacked the necessary extraordinary characteristics from beginning to end!
Now that the "True Creator" has obtained the extraordinary characteristics of the "Divine Abomination," does this mean that all His preparations are complete and the fragile situation in the Southern Continent will collapse immediately?
Many thoughts flashed through Bernadette's mind, making her feel some sympathy for the "bound god," yet also wary.
She worried that the world situation was changing too rapidly, which would prompt George III to accelerate his own ascension to the throne.
We need to inform Robert and Irwin of this news as soon as possible so they can assess the changing situation!
"It's clear you don't like the Mother Tree of Desire either," so please give me some guidance on how this incident will affect Her.
Bernadette had been with Russell for many years and knew very well how to climb the social ladder by taking advantage of opportunities.
Upon hearing this, the Genie fell silent again. This request was outside the scope of their previous discussion, but as Bernadette had said, He truly disliked the Mother Tree of Desire. This wasn't a matter of personal relationship, but rather because the other party was too greedy and wanted to meddle in everything. Therefore, it would be beneficial for Him to create some obstacles for Him before escaping. So, after thinking for a moment, the Genie said, "The dark side of the universe that you speak of is actually the former demon lord Fabti."
In other words, the extraordinary characteristics possessed by the so-called "bound god" were all actively created in order to fight against the "Mother Tree of Desire"!
This tacit agreement between Him and the so-called "Creator" is essentially just a continuation of previous strategies.
However, since the "Bound God" was already controlled by the "Mother Tree of Desire," he had no choice but to find someone who could secure the extraordinary characteristics of the "divine abominations" he had unleashed, in order to prevent them from aiding the enemy. From this perspective, only the so-called "Creator" could do that!
Although he scoffed at the title of "Creator of the True Creator," the Genie still acknowledged the power of this deity. After all, they had cooperated extensively during the Third Age, though the cooperation was both painful and pleasurable.
Bernadette took a deep breath and then, with immense willpower, forcibly suppressed the shock in her heart.
Unexpectedly, the true form of the "Dark Side of the Universe" is the legendary Demon Lord Fabuti, one of the eight ancient gods!
I knew it! How could there be gods of unknown origin?
The emergence of the "dark side of the universe" was very abrupt, as if it had sprung out from a crack in a rock, leaving countless extraordinary people and ordinary people who are keen on exploring the mysteries scratching their heads.
No wonder I felt my "Sage" potion had been digested so much; it seems that becoming a pawn of these two true gods has objectively prevented a great catastrophe!
Although Bernadette was furious at being used as a pawn in the fight against the gods without her knowledge, she did not come away empty-handed. At least she could clearly feel that at least a third of her potion had been digested, a feeling she had not experienced in many years.
At the same time, Bernadette also noticed the subtle difference in the "genie's" attitude towards the "true creator".
After all, when the Seven Gods were talked about in the past, the "Genius of the Genie" was always treated with utter disrespect and indifference, which is a world of difference compared to the attitude towards the "True Creator" at this moment.
However, today's events involved both threats and freebies, and since she had already gained a lot from the "genie," Bernadette didn't want to provoke the "genie" too much. So she concealed her discovery and continued along the lines of what she had just said: "In other words, the 'bound god' is, to some extent, a tool for the 'dark side of the universe' to share its pollution?"
If the "Mother Tree of Desire" doesn't want to easily relinquish the "Bound God," then should it temporarily relax its suppression of the "Dark Side of the Universe"?
Because she was worried that mentioning Fabti's real name would attract attention, Bernadette still referred to him by the name "Dark Side of the Universe".
The "genie" nodded, agreeing with Bernadette's assessment.
Normally, if the "Bound God" is not corrupted, the method of transferring risks by the "Demon Lord Fabuti" with his extraordinary characteristics would be very effective.
However, times have changed, and the situation of the "bound god" may be even worse than before. If the "dark side of the universe" does this, it will not be a transfer of risk, but rather a possible acceleration of suicide.
But at this moment, a new variable appeared: the True Creator went mad and began targeting the Mother Tree of Desire. This made the Dark Side of the Universe see the possibility of using the True Creator to "check the Mother Tree of Desire"!
By this point, Bernadette had a basic understanding of the reasons behind the previous divine war. She even felt that if she were a Sequence 3 Insightful Reader, she might be able to completely digest the potion right now.
At the same time, she was also very grateful for the existence of the "genie". If it weren't for the many secrets provided by the "genie", she would never have been able to understand that there were so many twists and turns behind it.
"Thank you so much for sharing this confidential information; it will be of immense help to me!"
The genie scoffed at Bernadette's gratitude.
Now you know how to thank me? Have you forgotten how you threatened me just now?
Bernadette, however, pretended not to see the "genie's" expression and went on to offer a barrage of compliments. This was something Roselle had taught her before his death—that nice words are worthless, so say as much as you can, it won't hurt you.
"Threatening the genie just now was indeed a bit excessive. After all, the genie is a great being," Bernadette thought, and she wanted to minimize the impact as much as possible.
However, the genie was clearly still angry, and had had enough of this from Roselle, so he was having some indigestion. Before Bernadette could finish speaking, he simply crawled back into the lamp.
Bernadette put the magic lamp back into her storage space, her eyes turned purple, and using the mark her messenger had left on Evan, she aimed in a direction and then turned into a pile of bubbles. These bubbles reflected a dazzling array of colors under the sunlight, which was extremely beautiful.
"General, what has happened?"
First Mate Ulysses Newman looked at Evan, who had suddenly stopped and was gazing eastward, and asked with some confusion.
Evan snapped out of his reverie, frowned, glanced again in the direction of the God War Ruins, shook his head slightly without explaining, and continued, "Nothing, where were we?"
"The next stop is Bansi Island, which is an important supply point on this route. Should we stop there?"
'
Seeing that Evan didn't want to explain, Ulysses Newman didn't ask any further questions and continued the previous topic.
"We're not going to Bansi Island, we're turning the boat around right now and heading to Dinius Island!"
Ivan made the decision to change the flight route without consulting anyone else!
