Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 353: Exploring the Fourth Epoch's God War Battlefield
Odysseus thought he had misheard: "Is this space formed by the war between gods?"

Bernadette hummed, "I can sense the presence of more than one god here."

Then she smiled and said, "Although this kind of place is dangerous, it seems to have not been explored yet. I think there should be a lot of gains."

Odysseus frowned slightly before saying, "The seal that 'teleported' us here was seized from the 'Moss Ascetic Order'.

"They didn't even explore? Could this be a trap?"

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

After a few seconds, the strange vision in her eyes disappeared, and she took a deep breath before saying, "This operation went smoothly and there won't be much danger.

"Perhaps the Moss Ascetic Order doesn't value this seal."

This is not a difficult thing to understand. It is very likely that a "Mid-Sequence" Beyonder seized this seal. With their spirituality and knowledge, they can only feel the danger here but cannot see the opportunities hidden here.

Odysseus is an example. When he came here before, he also felt that this place was very dangerous. If it weren't for the "Staff of Gus" here, he would not have tried to explore here before he became a demigod.

And there is a very crucial issue. Even if a "Mid-Sequence" extraordinary person in the "Moss Ascetic Order" discovered the specialness of this place, he would not necessarily report it. Instead, he would wait until he was strong enough to apply for this sealed object for exploration.

Thinking of this, Odysseus felt relieved.

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

Then, an illusory carpet suddenly appeared under the feet of the two people, carrying them and flying quickly at a low altitude.

As he gradually went deeper into the wilderness covered with weeds, Odysseus saw some huge illusory figures in the distance, moving slowly.

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

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

Odysseus was about to ask, what kind of ability is this?
Bernadette suddenly raised her hand and the magic carpet stopped abruptly.

This was so sudden that Odysseus almost stumbled and fell. "Is there any danger?"

Bernadette stared ahead for a while before saying, "Try throwing something forward."

Odysseus saw a stone in the grass not far away, so he knelt on the magic carpet, picked up the stone and threw it forward.

When the stone flew about 3 meters in front of them, the space that seemed normal suddenly became illusory, and the stone disappeared in front of the two people.

Odysseus was stunned. His spirit had no idea that there was any danger ahead.

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

Spiritual perception made Odysseus realize that it was the stone he had just thrown.

The flame on the stone was very special. It only took two or three seconds to burn the stone into ashes, which fell to the ground along with the drizzle.

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

Odysseus already had a guess: "The Tudor Empire?"

The Tudor Empire of the Fourth Epoch was probably located in present-day Intis, and among the great nobles of this empire was Mr. "Men", the ancestor of the Abraham family, who possessed relevant authority over space.

Bernadette hummed, confirming Odysseus's guess: "Then this should be a battlefield between the Tudor Empire and the Solomon Empire."

Because she also felt the breath of the "lawyer" path.

Then, Bernadette pointed in another direction, and the flying carpet changed its flying direction, but it was much slower than before.

After flying for a while, Bernadette couldn't help but frown: "There's no trace of anything extraordinary here?"

If this was really the battlefield of the war between gods, they had been flying for so long that they should have encountered traces left over from the war between gods.

The flying carpet stopped again, and Odysseus 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 she said, "That's a possibility."

She looked at the open space on the side, where an "invisible servant" suddenly appeared. Bernadette commanded the "invisible servant" to enter the illusory space.

Call ~
Two or three seconds later, Bernadette's whole body suddenly burned with blood-red flames. Odysseus, who was standing by, was startled. Before he could help to rescue her, "Bernadette" with flames on her body suddenly fell down and quickly became illusory.

Bernadette's solid figure quickly emerged on the grass beside the flying carpet.

She glanced at Odysseus, whose expression of worry had not yet completely faded. "There is indeed another dimension. There are flames all over the sky and rainy meadows, there are broken spaces, and there is a distorted order."

That is the real battlefield of the war between gods.

Odysseus said, "According to the information I received, another 'Staff of Gus' is also on the rainy grass. Could it be in there?"

Then he asked, "Is it dangerous in there?"

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

She first raised her hand, making herself and Odysseus become illusory.

Then he jumped back onto the illusory carpet. The carpet suddenly rose up, then slowly moved forward and entered an illusory space.

The blood-red flames were not far ahead, but Odysseus did not feel the burning sensation.

The space here is very chaotic. There are trees full of evil fruits on the crooked mountains. Blood-red flames are burning in the air and in the fields. In the flames, there are tall figures moving slowly forward, as if they are inspecting the flaming field.

In the midst of the flaming field, there were a few disjointed patches of rainy grassland.

Although the fire was raging, it did not affect the light rain falling on the grassland.

Bernadette said, “In some areas here, the ‘order’ is reversed, for example, far is near, small is big.

"Even the numbers are mixed up, like 1 is 2 and 2 is 1."

Odysseus opened his mouth and said, "Is this, is this the high-level power of the Black Emperor path?"

Bernadette gazed at her surroundings and nodded slowly, "Even with my spirituality, I can't avoid all the 'disorders'. Fortunately, these 'disorders' are not that dangerous.

"Well, that description might not be very accurate. If no one takes advantage of this 'chaos', it won't be very dangerous."

As she spoke, she looked at the monsters that were slowly moving forward in the flames. Perhaps there were demigods of the "lawyer" path among them, and the "chaos" here would be a great help to them.

Odysseus thought to himself: Fortunately, I asked Bernadette to come explore with me. If I had come alone, I would probably have been burned to death as soon as I entered here.

Then he was stunned for a moment, because he thought again that without Bernadette's help, he might not have explored this area.

The monsters moving forward in the flames seemed not to see the illusory Bernadette and Odysseus, and continued to move forward quietly.

Bernadette observed for a while before saying, "Let's quietly go to those grasses and find the 'Staff of Gus' that you need first."

By the way, take another careful look here and look for a suitable target.

Then the illusory carpet brought them to a rainy meadow.

This place seemed to be an independent space. The two people standing on the grass couldn't even see the surging flames around them. They could only see huge figures walking slowly in the distance.

"Wait a moment, I'll get some further clues." Odysseus pretended to pray, but in fact he entered the "Wilderness of Knowledge" and determined his specific location through the vision of the "Staff of Gus".

Bernadette already knew that he served the "Lord of Mysteries", so there was no need to be shy about "praying" at this time.

He also thought about letting the "Staff of Gus" at a certain location here rise into the air and emit bright starlight, but if that were the case, it might be noticed by the monsters around.

So he could only raise his eyes and observe his surroundings.

Odysseus first entered the field of view of the "Staff of Gus" somewhere here. As a result, in the "real vision", he saw that the monsters in the surrounding flames were all roasted humans, or human corpses. Their facial expressions were very painful, and they were driven forward by the fire.

Most of them are actually at the demigod level. They should have been killed by the aftermath of the previous war between gods, but no one knows why they entered those flames.

But the grass on the rainy day was very clean, without a single monster.

He looked around carefully again, but did not find himself and Bernadette.

However, because his line of sight was high enough, Odysseus saw the sloping mountain and used it as coordinates to roughly determine the location.

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

So Bernadette once again raised the illusory flying carpet and came to the meadow pointed out by Odysseus. After searching for only a few minutes, they found the "Staff of Guth" that was half buried in the ground.

After making sure that there were indeed no monsters around, Odysseus reached out and grasped the "Staff of Gus", which felt cold to the touch, like solid ice in winter.

The staff was simply stuck into the soil and pulled out easily.

He held it in his hand and looked at it, a smile appeared on his face. This was the second "Gus Staff" he had recovered.

Bernadette was also paying attention to the staff: "Before the staff was infused with spirituality, it didn't seem to have anything special about it."

Odysseus was about to discuss with the other party when the two of them suddenly had the same feeling in their spirits, and they looked at the ground where the "Staff of Gus" had just been inserted.

There seemed to be a surge of power about to gush out of the small hole created by the staff. At the moment when the two people quickly retreated, an illusory stream of water flowed out from it.

The stream of water seemed to represent infinite tranquility, and just one look at it made people feel very peaceful.

Bernadette suddenly reached out and pushed Odysseus's face in another direction. Odysseus suddenly came to his senses. He almost drowned in the mental shock brought by the river water. He didn't want to move or escape.

This reminded him of the "River of the Dead" he encountered in the "Prison of the Goddess" before.

But the river water in front of me seemed to be more "powerful". Just one look at it gave my soul a certain shock.

Bernadette used the flying carpet to fly into the air again. The two watched as the river water beneath their feet quickly swallowed up the grass, and the surroundings became extremely cold.

At this time, Odysseus suddenly looked up and saw that the flames around him became more intense, and the monsters in the flames suddenly turned their heads and looked at the two of them.

In a flash, Odysseus suddenly understood: "The King of Hell" also participated in the battle here.

Odysseus looked at the corpse in the flames again. He guessed that the power of the "King of the Underworld" and the power of the "Blood Emperor" had some kind of mutual influence here, which led to this scene.

Those corpse-like monsters were affected by the aura of the "Underworld Emperor". Although they were driven away by the flames, they were not burned to ashes by the flames of obviously high levels. They were affected by the "Blood Emperor".

Odysseus also guessed that the river water in front of them should be the "River of the Dead" affected by the "River of Eternal Darkness".

This can be further inferred that before the "Emperor of the Underworld" obtained the uniqueness of the "Red Priest" path, he had established a certain connection with the "River of Eternal Darkness".

These speculations were completed in an instant. Now was not the time to think about it. The monsters around them were already rushing towards Odysseus and Bernadette.

Bernadette commanded the flying carpet to fly quickly into the air, and then Odysseus felt dazed for a moment, and in the blink of an eye he appeared above the collapsed mountains.

Bernadette took advantage of the chaotic space and "flashed" here.

Then Bernadette commanded the flying carpet to fly out of this illusory space and arrived at the rainy grass outside.

The surroundings seemed to suddenly become quiet, and everything that happened in the other space just now did not seem to affect here.

Bernadette frowned slightly: "Perhaps the only trophy of this exploration is the 'Staff of Gus'."

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

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

Odysseus smiled helplessly: "I can..."

As soon as they said this, the two of them looked towards the distance of the grass together.

Those figures that seemed very far away before suddenly rushed towards this side together.

The two men immediately understood that those should be the monsters in the flames, and they seemed to be rushing out to attack Odysseus and the others.

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

As long as they are not in those high-level flames, Bernadette can try to kill a few,

In that case, wouldn’t we have the spoils?

Then she looked at Odysseus, who immediately understood and cast an "Invisibility Scroll." As long as he was invisible, the monsters should not be able to see him.

Bernadette stepped back again, leaving a safe distance, then put Odysseus down and let him go to the door leading to the outside world by himself.

The space in this wilderness is a bit strange. It is impossible to enter the spiritual world normally. If you want to get out, you must go through the door you came in through.

But the "flash" ability can be used here.

As Odysseus was about to jump off the magic carpet, he seemed to have thought of something and handed one of the "Gus Staffs" on his waist to Bernadette: "I'll lend it to you for a while."

Bernadette was slightly stunned, but still took it. The moment she injected spirituality into the "Staff of Gus", she felt her spirituality immediately surge, as if she had become much stronger all of a sudden.

Then she was surprised to realize that the "Staff of Gus" had established a stronger connection between her and the "Sage's Forehead Ornament". At this moment, she felt like she was really an angel.

Surprised, Bernadette looked at Odysseus, but there was no trace of Odysseus anymore.

So she looked at the "Staff of Gus" in her hand again, and for a moment she couldn't figure out what kind of magical item it was?
At this moment, the monsters in flames broke through the illusory space barrier and came to the rain-covered grassland.

There were still blood-red flames on their bodies. In an instant, a large area of grass centered around them dried up and caught fire.

They then raised their heads and looked at Bernadette, who was holding a staff with shining stars in her hand.

After confirming that there were no angels among these monsters, Bernadette raised her hand and a huge palace of ice and snow rose from the ground. The temperature around her plummeted, the grassland was instantly frozen, and everything in sight turned white.

The monsters with flames burning on their bodies stopped moving at the same time, and the flames on their bodies quickly dwindled and were almost extinguished.

Bernadette in mid-air wore an illusory crown and an equally illusory cloak.

She was delighted to discover that the "Gus Array" had also enhanced its ability to "reappear"!
At this moment, she felt like the Ice Queen!
Among those monsters with flames on their bodies, those at the demigod level cooperated with each other and used their extraordinary abilities to attack Bernadette, while those below the demigod level used their extraordinary abilities to escape.

They seemed to possess some basic intelligence, knowing that they were no match for Bernadette.

Odysseus, who was in invisible state, glanced back during the flight and saw Bernadette in mid-air commanding huge icicles and icicles to attack the monsters.

At this moment, Bernadette is the real king.

At the same time, Odysseus saw that a monster was using "Flash" to escape from the battlefield over there.

It was obviously a "traveler", or rather the corpse of a "traveler".

He paused for a moment, then looked towards Bernadette again. Seeing that the demigod-level monsters there were being held back by the "Mysterious Queen," he used his "Flash" ability to appear not far from the "Traveler." "Imprison!"

Odysseus injected his spirituality into the "Hand of Judgment" and trapped the monster with "imprisonment".

He quickly injected the "Star Sand" into the "Staff of Gus". In the bright starlight, a huge "Star Light Pillar" fell, and the layer of flames covering the surface of the "Traveler" was quickly broken through.

A layer of "morning light" quickly appeared on the surface of the "Traveler". It was the "Morning Light" he had recorded before. This caused its body to suffer only some damage, but it was not defeated.

Then Odysseus condensed the bright starlight on the "Staff of Gus", and instantly formed a straight sword with bright starlight.

As soon as the "Starlight Pillar" dissipated, he stabbed the "Traveler" monster, and at the same time he threw out an "Ice and Snow Scroll".

The "Traveler" monster had no time to use other abilities and immediately "flashed" to escape, but he was unable to use the "flash" ability and still stood there.

It belatedly realized and looked down, and found 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 is the effect of the "Ice Scroll" thrown by Odysseus just now. If it were a normal "Traveler", he would have felt that he was frozen and would have taken certain measures to deal with it.

But it was a corpse and didn't feel its legs frozen at all.

Odysseus seized the opportunity and swung his sword, using the "Starlight Sword" to split the "Traveler" in half from top to bottom.

But the "traveler" monster is not "dead" yet, because it is now a corpse and cannot die again.

So Odysseus "simulated" the "holy light", purified the "traveler", and soon obtained some of the characteristics of the "traveler".

Then Odysseus looked at another Sequence 5 monster not far away. These monsters had no unified command and no coordination with each other, making them very suitable for defeating one by one.

So Odysseus simply took out the "Scepter of Disaster", thunder rumbled, and suddenly there were cold lightning bolts striking down, and he gained another "reaper" characteristic.

Just as he was looking for a new target, he found that his vision suddenly became blurred, and then his vision changed dramatically, as if his perspective became wider.

Odysseus touched his forehead belatedly and found that an eye had appeared there without him noticing.

After thinking about it for a while, he realized that the "numbers" around him had been distorted and confused. 2 became 3, so his two eyes became 2.

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

Odysseus recalled Bernadette's previous reminder and realized that this was the "collapse of order" caused by the power of the "Black Emperor" path.

He glanced at Bernadette over there and saw that she had two heads on her shoulders.

Obviously, that was "1" twisted into "2".

Odysseus felt it carefully and did not feel any discomfort in his body.

wow~
Odysseus was about to continue hunting when he suddenly heard the sound of a river.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a large stream of somewhat illusory black river water emerging from the center of the grassland, and large areas of weeds died in an instant.

The entire space also shook noticeably, and then red flames shot out from mid-air.

Odysseus was slightly stunned. The fragile balance of this chaotic space seemed to have been broken by them.

Bernadette over there also quickly picked up two demigod-level characteristics, summoned the flying carpet again, and quickly escaped.

The demigod-level monsters behind her stretched out their hands towards her, as if trying to grab something, but in the end they caught nothing.

Bernadette, who still had two heads, pulled Odysseus onto the flying carpet, and the two of them quickly rode the carpet to the door.

Odysseus looked back and saw that the space behind him was collapsing rapidly. The black water of the "River of the Dead" gushed out from the ground, and blood-red flames fell from the air.

The position in the air became distorted and chaotic, as if the invisible pillars supporting this space had collapsed.

But the monsters did not continue to chase. Their speed became slower and slower, and finally their feet were covered by the water of the "River of the Dead" and they stood there motionless.

Odysseus raised his right hand again, and there were still two palms on his wrist.

At this moment, he heard one of Bernadette's heads say, "Stop struggling. Face your true inner thoughts! Although he's only Sequence 5, his future is bright, and..."

Bernadette raised one hand, immediately covered the mouth, and looked coldly at the other head.

The head that was talking just now turned into a stream of illusory information and merged into Bernadette's body.

She looked at Odysseus 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 that expression on your face?"

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

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

It was just that the other one suddenly spoke out what was in her heart.

Odysseus said "Oh", and thought about it and it was indeed true.

Bernadette then used the power of the "Sage's Forehead" to remove Odysseus' extra eyes and hands.

At this time, the two people also came to the door, and took another look at the rapidly collapsing space. Then they hurriedly left here and closed the door.

Then a huge crack appeared on the ground in the wilderness, and more illusory rivers emerged.

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

The surging river water and the falling flames met in mid-air. They entangled together and formed an illusory figure in his thirties wearing a crown.

He opened his mouth and let out a painful and crazy roar. When the monsters in the river heard this roar, their heads exploded instantly!
But soon, this illusory figure disappeared, and the space was suddenly occupied by river water and flames.

This is the remnant soul of the Blood Emperor. After his death, he unexpectedly established a connection with the River of Eternal Darkness...

Or, it cannot be said to be an accident. After all, the "Emperor of the Underworld" once used the "River of Eternal Darkness" to forcibly accommodate the uniqueness of the "Red Priest" path.

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

……

Lundberg, Wotai canton.

Odysseus and Bernadette returned to the real world, and Odysseus quickly took off the "star ring".

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

Odysseus was stunned for a moment before he said, "It's an earthquake!"

"It must 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 the earthquake was gone in a flash.

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

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

But in Intis, she would definitely go and see if she could be of any help.

However, before entering the spirit world, Bernadette reminded Odysseus: "That space has become very dangerous. Don't explore there anymore."

Odysseus nodded: "I think so too."

Only after seeing Bernadette disappear from his sight did Odysseus look out the window.

The earthquake just now caused some panic among the residents of Wotai City, and they came to the streets to ask each other, but fortunately there were no signs of collapse in the houses, so the panic soon disappeared.

Odysseus placed the "Star Ring" into the "Wilderness of Knowledge", lay down on the armchair, and used "meditation" to enter it.

He first used the "Wilderness of Knowledge" to shatter the seal and obtained the more valuable "Traveler" feature.

With this feature, he planned to build a "teleportation array" from Cruz Island to Wotai City to strengthen communication between the two.

This way, if there's anything he needs, he can purchase it directly from Bayam.

Then Odysseus looked at the two items with blood-red and pale white features. The "Traveler" feature was an unexpected gain and could be used in the "Scroll Shop".

Originally he was planning to seek an opportunity to hunt down a "traveler", but now he has the ability to build a "scroll shop" magic circle.

However, these two features are affected by the high-level aura of the "Red Priest" and the "God of Death" and cannot be used directly.

Fortunately, Odysseus had experience in extracting the "whispers of the true creator" before, and he quickly extracted the influence.

Because this influence takes a long time to complete, and is not directly affected by the "Blood Emperor" and the "Underworld Emperor", the "breath" extracted by Odysseus cannot be a god-level spiritual material like the "whispering of the true creator". They can only be regarded as demigod-level spiritual materials.

However, the scrolls made from them are definitely more powerful than ordinary demigod-level spiritual materials.

After Odysseus shattered these two characteristics, he returned to the real world.

It was not until the afternoon that Bernadette returned and told Odysseus: "The earthquake occurred in the wild, but some houses in the village collapsed. Fortunately, only people were injured and no one died."

Otherwise, both of them would feel guilty, especially Bernadette.

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

After Bernadette finished explaining the earthquake, she returned the "Staff of Gus" to Odysseus.

Odysseus could see the "Mysterious Queen's" reluctance, so he said, "If you need it, you can come and borrow it."

After borrowing it a few times, she can ask the "Lord of Mysteries" to give her one directly.
