And perhaps the only thing that can put an end to that [Holy Envoy of Heaven] is his own sword.

"..."

According to the appearance described by Perlis, Carly scattered the little birds and searched the entire hull of the White Flame Star.

Perlis had originally planned to wait for a few hours, but after only ten minutes, Carly happily said:

"Found it! Right below the hatchery hall!"

......

After confirming once again that there were no dark followers, Perlis and her group came to the bottom of the hatching hall through the stairs built by Lian.

All the dark followers who died when Perlis was promoted to [Star Flame] have melted and turned into dark lenses, covering the entire bottom of the hall.

In an inconspicuous corner on the ground floor of the hall, there stood a huge black crystal monument, with countless small birds surrounding it, scanning its interior again and again.

Perlis slowly walked to the front of the black crystal monument and looked at it carefully. Its surface was like obsidian, dark and hard, but with a thin layer of light shining through it, and it didn't seem thick.

This black crystal monument was completely embedded in the floor of the hall and integrated with the entire ship, making it obviously difficult to remove it easily.

"According to the shape you described, the broken sword is inside here," Carly said, "but... why?"

"Perhaps they were sealed by the followers of [Inmotalus]..." Perlis muttered, "They should..."

As she spoke, she suddenly heard the three people behind her gasp. They turned around hastily and their pupils shrank slightly.

——Carly, Aoi, and Rei, their eyes became empty in an instant, and black blood flowed from their noses.

"Eh? What's wrong...are you okay?"

Perlis quickly sealed the shaky Carly, and Aoi subconsciously let the high temperature fill her whole body to stabilize her condition, and then supported Lian beside her.

"Carly! Carly!"

"Lian...Lian Bao? Are you okay?"

Perlis placed her hand on Carly's chest and connected with the mark in Carly's body. Red arcs of electricity jumped and repaired the wounds on Carly's body.

Lian was not so lucky. She curled up in her sister's arms, her body trembling and gasping for breath:

"Sister...sister...it hurts...ow..."

"How could this happen..." Aoi frowned, obviously a little panicked, "Ka...Ka Li? Is there..."

"Next... this..."

After recovering, Carly took out a tube of blue potion from her pocket and threw it to Aoi.

Aoi immediately bit open the bottle with her mouth and poured the medicine into Lian's mouth.

Soon, Lian's breathing gradually became smoother and the trembling became less severe. She was obviously feeling much better.

"Why... is this happening...?"

While supporting Carly, Perlis looked around and used her senses, but did not detect any enemy presence.

There are no enemies... Why would the three of them suddenly...

Could it be... because...

"...!"

Perlis's eyes widened slightly. After just a brief thought, she knew why the three people behind her had such a reaction -

——Because, Perlis pronounced the name [Inmotalus].

......

1) New World (Part 3)

Saying the name of [Inmotalus]... would it actually cause them to suffer such a strong backlash...

Aoi's condition is okay, perhaps because of her special condition, but Carly and Rei are completely unable to bear it. If they are not treated in time, they may have serious problems...

But... this situation didn't happen before, why is it happening now...

"...!"

Suddenly, Perlis recalled what Suleiman Agust said when Perlis was promoted to [Star Flame]:

"Then each of you can take what you need... Son of God..."

According to Lian's previous observations, the lower part of the Black Island, that is, the remains of [Inmotarus], was dragged into the netherworld by Suleiman...

It was no secret that he was collecting [Engraving Ink], but his purpose had always been difficult to guess.

Now, since chanting the name of [Inmatalus] suddenly backfired, this purpose was also confirmed.

——Suleiman’s goal is to revive the ancient god, and he has achieved remarkable results.

And the names of the ancient gods have never been something that mortals can recite or hear.

"..."

"What's going on?" Aoi continued to let her body be filled with heat, "Pure White, are there any enemies?"

"No, it's not," Perlis shook her head slightly, "It's worse than that."

Next, Perlis roughly explained her guess to the three people. As she explained, the faces of the three people became less happy.

After all, in their worldview, they have never had any faith in things like "religion".

And now they are telling them that just saying a name will result in backlash?

This is enough to give us a glimpse of what the real "ancient god" would be like.

It is not an existence that can be judged purely as good or evil, but an irresistible force that far transcends the concept of "living thing".

To the extent that even speaking His name is taboo.

"..."

After resting for a while, Lian struggled to get out of Aoi's arms, and stood on the ground with trembling legs, her hands still tightly holding her sister's waist.

"Why don't you go back first?" Carly looked at Lian's pale face and was a little worried. "Animal lover, don't force yourself. Little White Flower can't fix you."

"Who...who is holding on, I'm fine," Lian took a deep breath, "I want...I want to see that..."

Lian tried to walk without holding Aoi, but she almost fell. Fortunately, Aoi quickly caught her:

"Don't be so stubborn, idiot. If you want to see it, I'll carry you to see it."

Aoi picked up Lian in a princess hug, then carried her to the side of the black crystal monument and asked her to observe it carefully.

There were two blushes on Lian's cheeks. Although she was a little unwilling, she quickly took out the tester and began to study the black crystal monument.

"Little White Flower, do you mean... we have to use this broken sword to destroy the Lord of the Black Tide?" Carly said to Perlis.

"Yes..." Perlis said softly, "He is my uncle, he asked me personally..."

When she thought of Coles Hafgard's bright red eyes, Perlis clenched her fists slightly.

He was a warrior who sacrificed himself to keep the flame of civilization alive, but after his death he was corroded by the black tide and turned into a monster. Now he is used as a chess piece by Laplace.

"I have to end Suleiman's suffering, both from a personal and a personal perspective."

Just as Perlis finished speaking, Lian also got the result:

"Perlis, the sword has been destroyed."

"What?" Carly frowned, "How is that possible?"

Carly said, walking over to Lian and taking the flat-screen monitor from her hands.

Perlis also came over, and when she saw the interior of the Black Crystal Monument, she sighed softly:

"Disintegrated..."

One of the broken swords that once belonged to Coles Hafgard had turned into pieces inside the Black Crystal Monument, obviously the result of erosion by black water.

This confirmed Coles' words: only this sword could end him.

Otherwise, the Black Tide followers would have no reason to destroy it.

"Is there no other way?" Aoi sighed.

"No, there should be."

As Perlis spoke, she walked to the side of the black crystal monument and touched the smooth and shiny surface with her hand.

If this sword was created by the Hafurgard tribe, then it should be able to be repaired by Perlis.

—After all, that’s how she fixed her broken butterfly knife.

"..."

Perlis sensed the broken sword inside the black crystal monument and tried to put all her energy into it, trying to reconnect the broken pieces of the blade.

She could clearly feel the red lines on the fragments, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not connect them into a whole.

This is because those dark lines blocked the spread of the red engraving, isolating Perlis's power.

"Sure enough...it was infected too thoroughly."

Perlis rubbed her wrist gently, turned around and shook her head at the three of them.

"[Shattered Star] has been contaminated by black water. My power alone is useless."

"Then...if we can extract the black water?" Carly said, "Let me think...the [Dark Emblem] you mentioned before should be able to do it, right?"

"It's possible..." Perlis nodded, "There should be fragments of [Engraved Ink] in there. In that case, we just need to find something of the same rank..."

Hmm... I speculated this morning that the last star fragment of [Engraved Ink] is most likely in Qi Lang's territory...

This way, it is exactly the same as the destination pointed out by the White Flame Star.

Whoever led this Hafgard starship to the other shore, to Qilang, seems to have paved a very smooth road for us...

Should we continue down this path? Is that guy a manipulator like Laplace?

Or, that guy is the chess player from the other side sitting across from the Laplace chessboard?

"..."

"In short, there's nothing we can do now," Lian whispered, "but we can dig out this black crystal monument..."

"Pure White should be able to do it easily, right?" Aoi glanced at Perlis, "After all, Pure White's destructive power is very strong now."

"That's not called destructive power, it's called magic," Carly suddenly hugged Perlis's neck, and the latter shuddered, "But, rough digging is likely to further damage the structure of the sword, right?"

"It's very likely," Perlis nodded, "We must treat it with caution."

"Then... let me do it..." Lian said softly, "I can try... but it may take a very long time..."

Lian said, struggling to break free from Aoi's embrace, but her sister held her tightly, and her expression immediately became angry:

"What! Put me down!"

"Not today. You must rest today," Aoi said strictly, "We don't know exactly how badly you're injured, so you can't get out of bed."

"Woo..."

Lian, who was usually fierce to her sister, immediately softened as if she had lost her temper when she saw that her sister was a little strict.

Aoi immediately put on a warm smile and gently stroked Lian's head:

"Be good, I'll play games with you later, okay..."

"...oh..."

Sure enough, a sister is still a sister.

Seeing the harmonious relationship between the two sisters, Perlis suddenly felt a little guilty:

"I'm sorry, I said that name."

"Hmph... I don't blame you..." Lian said softly, "Who knew that thing would become unspeakable..."

"We need to give Him a unified name," Carly held her chin, "What should we call Him?"

"I have an idea."

As Perlis spoke, she recalled the giant eye above the sea that she had seen in Coles Hafgard's memory.

The god of the black current, the giant eye above the ocean current.
