Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery

Audis thought he had misheard: "This space was formed by a God war?"

Bernadette gave an "Mm" sound: "I can sense that there are traces left by more than one deity here."

Then she smiled and said: "Although this kind of place is dangerous, it doesn't seem to have been explored yet, so there should be a considerable harvest."

Audis frowned slightly before saying: "That Sealed Artifact that 'teleported' us here, I seized it from the 'Moses Ascetic Order'."

"They didn't even explore it? This wouldn't be their trap, would it?"

Bernadette looked around, and then her eyes suddenly became deep, with illusory symbols rolling within her pupils.

A few seconds later, the strange phenomenon in her eyes disappeared, and then she took a deep breath and said: "This operation is relatively smooth, and there won't be too much danger.

"Perhaps the 'Moses Ascetic Order' didn't value this Sealed Artifact."

This isn't difficult to understand; it's very likely that a 'Middle Sequence' Beyonder seized this Sealed Artifact, and with their spirituality and knowledge, they would only feel the danger here, but not see the opportunities hidden within.

Audis is an example; when he came here before, he also felt that it was very dangerous. If it weren't for the 'Gustav Staff' here, he wouldn't have tried to explore it before becoming a demigod.

Moreover, a crucial issue is that even if a 'Middle Sequence' Beyonder from the 'Moses Ascetic Order' discovered the special nature of this place, he might not report it, but would wait until his strength was sufficient before applying for this Sealed Artifact to explore it.

Thinking of this, Audis felt relieved.

Bernadette looked around and pointed in a direction according to the guidance of her spirituality: "Let's explore in that direction first."

Then, a phantom carpet suddenly appeared beneath their feet, carrying them and flying rapidly at low altitude.

Gradually delving deeper into the wilderness overgrown with weeds, Audis saw some huge, illusory figures in the distance, moving slowly.

After observing for a while, Bernadette changed direction, heading towards those figures.

But the closer they got, the smaller those figures seemed to become.

Audis was about to ask what ability this was when Bernadette suddenly raised her hand, and the magic carpet stopped abruptly.

This was so sudden that Audis almost staggered and fell off: "Is there danger?"

Bernadette stared ahead for a while before saying: "Throw something ahead to test it."

Seeing a rock in the bushes not far away, Audis knelt on the magic carpet, picked up the rock, and threw it forward.

When the rock flew to about 3 meters in front of them, the space, which had seemed perfectly normal, suddenly became illusory, and the rock disappeared in front of the two of them.

Audis was stunned; his spirituality hadn't sensed any danger ahead at all.

At this moment, his spirituality seemed to sense something, and he turned his head to look. In the sky not far away, a stone burning with blood-colored flames suddenly appeared and fell rapidly.

The perception of his spirituality made Audis clear that it was the rock he had just thrown out.

The flames on the stone were very special, and in just two or three seconds, they had burned the stone to ashes, which fell to the ground along with the drizzling rain.

Bernadette said: "The space here is completely chaotic…"

Audis had already guessed: "The Tudor Empire?"

The Tudor Empire of the Fourth Epoch was roughly in the current Intis, and among the great nobles of this empire was the ancestor of the Abraham family, Mr. 'Door', who held authority related to space.

Bernadette gave an "Mm" sound, confirming Audis's guess: "Then this place should be a battlefield between the Tudor Empire and the Solomon Empire."

Because she also sensed the aura of the 'Lawyer' pathway.

Next, Bernadette pointed in another direction, and the magic carpet changed its flight direction, but much slower than before.

After flying for a while, Bernadette couldn't help but frown: "There aren't any extraordinary traces here?"

If it really was a God war battlefield, they should have encountered traces left from the God war long ago, after flying for so long.

The magic carpet stopped again, and Audis pondered for a moment: "Could it be that those extraordinary traces are all in that illusory space just now?"

Bernadette was stunned for a moment before saying: "That's also possible."

She looked at the open space to the side, and an 'Invisible Servant' appeared there. Bernadette directed the 'Invisible Servant' to enter that illusory space.

Whoosh ~

Two or three seconds later, Bernadette suddenly burst into blood-colored flames. Audis was startled, and before he could help, the 'Bernadette' burning with flames suddenly fell down and quickly became illusory.

On the grassland beside the flying carpet, Bernadette's solid figure quickly outlined itself.

She glanced at Audis, whose worried expression hadn't completely faded from his face: "There is indeed another space there, with flames filling the sky and rainy grasslands, broken spaces, and distorted order."

That is the real God war battlefield.

Audis said: "According to the information I obtained, another 'Gustav Staff' is also on a rainy grassland. Could it be inside there?"

Then he asked: "Is it very dangerous inside there?"

Bernadette closed her eyes, as if recalling something, before opening her eyes and saying: "There is a safe entrance."

First, she raised her hand to make herself and Audis become illusory.

Then, she jumped back onto the illusory carpet, which suddenly rose and slowly moved forward, entering an illusory space.

The blood-colored flames were not far ahead, but Audis didn't feel any burning sensation.

The space here was very chaotic. On the crooked mountains, there were trees full of strange fruits. In the air and in the wilderness, blood-red flames were burning. Within the flames, there were tall figures slowly moving forward, as if patrolling the fiery wilderness.

In the fiery wilderness, there were also a few small, disconnected patches of rainy grassland.

Although the fire was raging, it didn't affect the light rain falling on these grasslands.

Bernadette said: "The 'order' in some areas here is reversed. For example, far is near, and small is large.

"Even numbers are confused. For example, 1 is 2, and 2 is 1."

Audis opened his mouth: "This is, this is the high-level power of the 'Black Emperor' pathway?"

Bernadette watched her surroundings while slowly nodding: "Even with my spirituality, I can't avoid all the 'order chaos'. Fortunately, these 'chaos' aren't that dangerous.

"Um, that description might not be very accurate. If no one uses these 'chaos', it won't be very dangerous."

As she spoke, she looked at the monsters slowly moving forward in the flames. Perhaps some of them were demigods of the 'Lawyer' pathway. The 'chaos' here would be a good help to them.

Audis thought to himself: Fortunately, I invited Bernadette to explore together. If I had come alone, I probably would have been burned to nothing as soon as I entered here.

Then he was stunned for a moment, because he also thought that if it weren't for Bernadette's help, he might not have explored this area at all.

The monsters moving forward in the flames didn't seem to see the illusory Bernadette and Audis, and continued to walk forward quietly.

After observing for a while, Bernadette said: "Let's quietly go to those grasslands and first find the 'Gustav Staff' you need."

And carefully observe here to find a suitable target.

So the illusory carpet brought them to a rainy grassland.

This seemed to be an independent space. The two of them were standing on the grassland, and they couldn't even see the surging flames around them. They could only see huge figures slowly moving in the distance.

"Wait a moment, I'll get further clues." Audis pretended to pray, but was actually entering the 'Knowledge Moor' to determine the specific location through the 'Gustav Staff's' vision.

Bernadette already knew that he served the 'Lord of Mysteries', so there was no need to avoid the 'prayer' at this time.

He had also thought about letting the 'Gustav Staff' in a certain location here rise into the air and emit brilliant starlight, but if that were the case, it might be noticed by the surrounding monsters.

So he could only raise his line of sight to observe the surroundings.

Audis first entered the vision of the 'Gustav Staff' in a certain location here. As a result, in the 'True Vision', he saw that the monsters in the surrounding flames were all dried-up humans, or rather, human corpses. The expressions on their faces were very painful, and they were constantly driven forward by the fire.

Most of them were actually at the level of demigods. They should have been killed by the aftermath in the previous God war, but he didn't know why they entered those flames.

The rainy grassland was very clean, without a single monster.

He looked around carefully again, but couldn't find his and Bernadette's figures.

However, because the line of sight was high enough, Audis saw the tilted mountain and used it as a coordinate to roughly determine the location.

Then, returning to the real world, Audis roughly pointed out a direction.

So Bernadette once again raised the illusory flying carpet. After arriving at the grassland pointed out by Audis and searching for only a few minutes, they found the 'Gustav Staff' buried halfway in the ground.

After confirming that there were indeed no monsters around, Audis reached out and held the 'Gustav Staff'. The touch was icy cold, like the solid ice of winter.

The staff was easily pulled out of the ground where it was simply inserted.

Holding it in his hand, a smile crept onto his face. This was the second "Gus Staff" he had recovered.

Bernadette was also watching the staff: "Before being infused with spirituality, this staff doesn't seem to have anything special about it."

As Audis was about to discuss it with her, both of them suddenly felt the same thing spiritually and looked together at the ground where the "Gus Staff" had been inserted.

From the small hole produced by the staff, a surge of power seemed about to erupt. As they quickly retreated, a stream of illusory water flowed out.

That stream seemed to represent infinite tranquility. Just a glance was enough to make one feel extremely peaceful.

Suddenly, Bernadette reached out and turned Audis's face in another direction. Audis abruptly snapped back to his senses. He had almost been lost in the mental impact brought by the river, unwilling to move or escape.

This reminded him of the "River of the Dead" he had encountered in the "Goddess's Prison."

But the river before him seemed even more "potent." Just a glance had a certain impact on his mind.

Bernadette once again used the magic carpet to fly into the air. They both watched as the river quickly devoured the grassland, and the surroundings became exceptionally cold.

At this moment, Audis suddenly looked up and saw that the flames around them were even more intense. And the monsters within the flames suddenly turned their heads together and looked at them.

In a flash of lightning, Audis suddenly understood: "The Nether Emperor" was also participating in the battle here.

Audis glanced again at the corpses in the flames. He guessed that the power of "The Nether Emperor" and the power of "The Blood Emperor" had created some kind of mutual influence here, which was why such a scene had appeared.

Those corpse-like monsters were affected by the aura of "The Nether Emperor," and they were driven by the flames, but they were not burned to ashes by the obviously high-level flames because of the influence of "The Blood Emperor."

Audis also guessed that the river before them should be the "River of the Dead" influenced by the "River of Eternal Night."

This could further lead to the deduction that "The Nether Emperor" had established a certain connection with the "River of Eternal Night" before obtaining the Uniqueness of the "Red Priest" pathway.

These guesses were completed in an instant. Now was not the time to think carefully. The surrounding monsters were already rushing towards Audis and Bernadette.

Bernadette commanded the magic carpet to quickly fly into the air. Then Audis felt a moment of dizziness, and in the blink of an eye, they had appeared above the overturned mountains.

Bernadette had used the chaotic space here to "Flash" to this location.

Immediately, Bernadette directed the magic carpet to fly out of this illusory space and arrived at the grassland outside, which was full of drizzle.

The surroundings seemed to suddenly quiet down. Everything that had happened in the other space seemed to have no effect here.

Bernadette frowned slightly: "Perhaps the only spoils of this exploration will be that 'Gus Staff'."

She had noticed earlier that when those monsters were in the blood-red flames, it was difficult for her to attack them.

And the level of those flames was quite high, so she couldn't enter the flames either.

Audis smiled helplessly: "I can…"

Just as he said this, they both looked towards the distance of the grassland again.

Those figures that had looked so far away before were suddenly rushing towards them together.

They immediately understood that those should be the monsters in the flames, and now they seemed to be rushing out to attack Audis and Bernadette.

Bernadette silently put on the "Sage's Diadem": "This is a good opportunity to attack them."

As long as they weren't in those high-level flames, Bernadette could try to take down a few.

If that was the case, wouldn't there be spoils?

Then she looked at Audis, and Audis immediately understood and used a "Invisibility Scroll."

As long as he was in a state of invisibility, those monsters shouldn't be able to see him.

Bernadette retreated a distance again, leaving a safe distance, and then put Audis down, letting him go to the door leading to the outside world on his own.

The space in this wilderness was a bit strange, and it was impossible to enter the spirit world normally. To get out, one had to go through the door they came in through.

However, the ability to "Flash" could be used here.

Audis, who was about to jump off the magic carpet, seemed to have thought of something and handed Bernadette one of the "Gus Staffs" hanging on his waist: "Lend this to you first."

Bernadette was slightly stunned, but still took it. The moment she infused spirituality into the "Gus Staff," she felt her spirituality immediately become surging, as if it had suddenly become much stronger.

Then she was surprised to realize that the "Gus Staff" had established a more solid connection between her and the "Sage's Diadem." At this moment, she felt like she was truly an angel.

In addition to her surprise, Bernadette looked at Audis, but she could no longer see Audis's trace at this time.

So she looked at the "Gus Staff" in her hand again, and for a moment she couldn't understand what kind of magical item this was.

Just then, the monsters in the flames broke through the illusory space barrier and came to the grassland full of drizzle.

They still had blood-red flames on their bodies, and in an instant, a large area of grassland centered on them instantly withered and burst into flames.

They then raised their heads and looked at Bernadette, who had a staff with brilliant starlight in her hand.

After confirming that there were no angel-level beings among these monsters, Bernadette raised her hand, and a huge ice and snow palace rose from the ground. The surrounding temperature plummeted, and the grassland was instantly frozen. Everything within sight turned snow-white.

The movements of those monsters with flames burning on their bodies stagnated at the same time, and the flames on their bodies quickly became smaller, approaching extinction.

Bernadette in mid-air put on an illusory crown and draped on an equally illusory cloak.

She was delighted to find that the "Gus Staff" also strengthened the ability of "Reappearance!"

At this moment, she felt like she was the Ice Queen!

Among those monsters with flames on their bodies, the demigod-level ones were working together to attack Bernadette with Extraordinary abilities, while those below the demigod level were using Extraordinary abilities to escape.

They seemed to have basic intelligence, knowing that they were definitely no match for Bernadette.

Audis, who was in a state of invisibility, glanced back during the flight and saw Bernadette in mid-air commanding huge ice pillars and icicles, attacking those monsters.

At this moment, Bernadette was a true queen.

At the same time, Audis saw that a monster was using "Flash" to escape the battlefield.

That was obviously a "Traveler," or rather, a corpse of a "Traveler."

He was slightly stunned, and looked again in Bernadette's direction. Seeing that the demigod-level monsters there were all held back by the "Mysterious Queen," he also used the "Flash" ability and appeared not far from the "Traveler": "Imprison!"

Audis injected spirituality into the "Hand of Judgment" and used "Imprison" to trap the monster.

He quickly injected "Star Sand" into the "Gus Staff." In the brilliant starlight, a huge "Pillar of Starlight" fell, and the layer of flame covering the "Traveler's" body was quickly broken through.

A layer of "Dawn"-like light quickly appeared on the surface of the "Traveler's" body. That was the "Light of Dawn" that it had recorded before, which only caused some damage to its body and did not destroy it.

Immediately, Audis made the brilliant starlight on the "Gus Staff" become solid, instantly forming a straight sword with brilliant starlight.

The "Pillar of Starlight" had just dissipated when he stabbed the "Traveler" monster, and at the same time, he threw out an "Ice and Snow Scroll."

The "Traveler" monster didn't have time to use other abilities and immediately "Flashed" to escape, but it was unable to use the "Flash" ability, and it was still standing in place.

It belatedly looked down and saw that its legs had been frozen by thick ice crystals. These ice crystals were connected to the ice and snow palace summoned by the "Mysterious Queen," trapping the "Traveler" monster.

This was the effect of the "Ice and Snow Scroll" that Audis had just thrown out. If it was a normal "Traveler," it would have felt that it was frozen long ago and would have responded accordingly.

But it was a corpse and couldn't feel that its legs were frozen.

Audis seized the opportunity and struck down with his sword. The "Starlight Straight Sword" split the "Traveler" in half from top to bottom.

But the "Traveler" monster was not "dead," because it was already a corpse and couldn't die again.

So Audis "simulated" "Holy Light" to purify the "Traveler," and soon obtained a "Traveler" characteristic.

Then Audis looked at another Sequence 5 monster not far away. These monsters did not have unified command and did not cooperate with each other, making them very suitable for defeating them one by one.

So Audis simply took out the "Staff of Disaster." Thunder rumbled, and a series of eerie lightning bolts struck down, and he harvested another "Harvester" characteristic.

Just as he was looking for a new target, he found that his vision was suddenly a little blurry, and then his vision underwent a huge change, as if the perspective had become wider.

Audis belatedly touched his forehead and realized that an eye had appeared there at some point.

After a little thought, he understood that the surrounding "numbers" had obviously been distorted and confused. 2 had become 3, so his 2 eyes had become 3.

At this time, he found that another right hand had grown out of the wrist of his right arm, and two hands had also become three.

Audis, recalling Bernadette's reminder, understood that this was the "Black Emperor" pathway's ability, causing "Order Collapse."

He glanced at Bernadette, noticing that she now had two heads on her shoulders.

Clearly, "1" had been twisted into "2."

Audis carefully sensed himself and didn't feel any discomfort in his body.

Whoosh~

Just as Audis was about to continue hunting, he suddenly heard the sound of a river.

He looked towards the sound and saw a large amount of illusory black river water emerging from the center of the grassland, causing large patches of wild grass to wither and die instantly.

The entire space also experienced obvious tremors, followed by red flames erupting from mid-air.

Audis was slightly stunned; the fragile balance of this chaotic space seemed to have been broken by them.

Bernadette also quickly retrieved two demigod-level characteristics, summoned the flying carpet again, and quickly fled.

The demigod-level monsters behind her each stretched out their hands towards her, as if trying to grab something, but ultimately they didn't grab anything.

Still with two heads, Bernadette pulled Audis onto the flying carpet, and the two of them rode the flying carpet quickly towards the entrance.

Audis looked back and saw the space behind them rapidly collapsing, with the black "River of the Dead" flowing from the ground and blood-red flames falling from mid-air.

The space in mid-air became distorted and chaotic, as if the invisible giant pillar supporting this space had collapsed.

And those monsters didn't continue chasing; their speed became slower and slower, and eventually their feet were covered by the water of the "River of the Dead," and they stood there motionless.

Audis raised his right hand again, still seeing two palms on his wrist.

At this moment, he heard one of Bernadette's heads say, "Don't struggle anymore, face the true thoughts of your heart! Although he is only Sequence 5, his future is bright, and..."

Bernadette raised a hand and immediately covered that mouth, looking coldly at the other head.

The head that had just spoken turned into a stream of illusory information and merged into Bernadette's body.

She looked at Audis with some concern, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he only showed a surprised expression.

Bernadette changed the subject, "What's with that expression of yours?"

"I... I'm a little worried," Audis swallowed and said, "Was the head that disappeared just now the real Bernadette, or is the current head the real Bernadette?"

The "Mysterious Queen" smiled, "Both of these heads are mine."

It was just that the other one suddenly spoke her inner thoughts.

Audis said "Oh" and thought that it was indeed the case.

Then Bernadette used the ability of the "Sage's Headpiece" to remove Audis's extra eyes and hands.

At this time, the two of them also arrived at the entrance and, after taking another look at the rapidly collapsing space, they quickly left here and closed the door.

Immediately afterward, a huge crack appeared on the ground of the wilderness, and more illusory river water emerged.

A crack also appeared in the sky, and streams of blood-colored flames spewed out.

The surging river water and the falling flames met in mid-air, and they intertwined to form an illusory figure in his thirties, wearing a crown.

He opened his mouth and let out a painful and crazy roar, and the heads of those monsters in the river exploded instantly after hearing this roar!

But soon, this illusory figure disappeared, and this space was immediately occupied by river water and flames.

This was a wisp of the "Blood Emperor's" remnant soul; after he fell, he accidentally established a connection with the "Eternal Dark River..."

Or, it can't be said to be an accident; after all, the "Nether Emperor" once used the "Eternal Dark River" to forcibly accommodate the uniqueness of the "Red Priest" pathway.

And within that uniqueness, there must be the spiritual remnants of the "Blood Emperor."

… …

Lenburg, Votta Province.

Audis and Bernadette returned to the real world, and Audis quickly took off the "Star Ring."

At this moment, the entire room suddenly shook violently, and the chandelier on the ceiling made a creaking sound.

Audis was stunned for a moment before saying, "Earthquake!"

"It should be because the collapse of that space just now had an impact on the real world," Bernadette said.

Fortunately, there was only a noticeable tremor, and then the earthquake was fleeting.

Bernadette then said, "The epicenter should be in Intis; I'll go there to see the disaster situation."

If it were in another country, she wouldn't care at all.

But in Intis, she definitely had to go and see if she could help.

However, before entering the spirit world, Bernadette did not forget to tell Audis, "That space has become very dangerous; don't continue exploring it."

Audis nodded, "That's what I think too."

After seeing Bernadette disappear in front of him, Audis looked out the window.

The earthquake just now caused some panic among the residents of Votta City, and they came to the streets to ask each other, but fortunately, there were no signs of any buildings collapsing, so the panic quickly disappeared.

Audis put the "Star Ring" into the "Knowledge Moor" and lay down on the easy chair, entering it using "Meditation."

He first used the "Knowledge Moor" to crush this sealed artifact, obtaining the more valuable "Traveler" characteristic.

He planned to use this characteristic to establish a "teleportation array" from Cruz Island to Votta City, strengthening the communication between the two.

In this way, if there were any needs, he could directly purchase them from Bayam.

Then Audis looked at the two characteristics mixed with blood red and pale white. The "Traveler" characteristic was an unexpected gain, just right for use in the "Scroll Shop."

Originally, he was still preparing to seek an opportunity to hunt a "Traveler," but now he had the characteristics to establish the "Scroll Shop" magic circle.

It's just that these two characteristics were affected by the high-level aura of the "Red Priest" and the "Death God" and could not be used directly.

Fortunately, Audis had the experience of extracting the "Murmurs of the True Creator" before and quickly extracted the influence from them.

Because this influence was completed over a long period of time and was not directly affected by the "Blood Emperor" and the "Nether Emperor," the "aura" that Audis extracted could not be like the "Murmurs of the True Creator" and be a god-level spiritual material; they could only be regarded as demigod-level spiritual materials.

However, the scrolls made from them would definitely be stronger than ordinary demigod-level spiritual materials.

Audis also crushed these two characteristics before returning to the real world.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Bernadette returned and told Audis, "The earthquake happened in the wilderness, but some village houses collapsed, but fortunately only people were injured, and no one died because of it."

Otherwise, the two of them would feel somewhat guilty, especially Bernadette.

Although she had left Intis for a long time, it was, after all, the place where she grew up and had different feelings.

After Bernadette finished talking about the earthquake, she returned the "Guthrie Staff" to Audis.

Audis certainly saw the "Mysterious Queen's" reluctance, so he said, "If you need it, you can come and borrow it."

After borrowing it a few times, he could let the "Lord of Mysteries" directly bestow one upon her.
