The girl with white hair and red eyes is serious about revenge

"..."

Looking at the [holy object] emitting a faint black aura, Perlis murmured:

"People don't look at ants."

And God will not look at humans.

"We need to finish the recharge," Carly whispered, "Not only do we need it, but their sacrifice can't be in vain."

"But how can we use the power of the underworld?" Perlis thought, "Could it be that..."

"No, Little White Flower, I was wrong before. The power of the netherworld is not needed." Carly shook her head, "Look at the progress bar again."

"Ok?"

Perlis looked at the progress bar on the screen again. It still showed half of the progress, neither more nor less.

"What's wrong?" Perlis scratched her head.

"The netherworld power generated by the drilling eruption has filled this area with black fog," Carly reminded Perlis, "If their charging device was set up outside, the netherworld power should have been fully charged long ago."

"Yes, the black fog is the passage to the netherworld, and it should be able to provide the power of the netherworld," Perlis thought, "So? This progress bar is still not full?"

"Pfft, little white flower is so stupid," Carly was amused by Perlis's thoughtful look, "Think about it, why is it exactly half."

"Um..."

Perlis thought about it and looked towards the portal.

She saw the factor energy generator on the portal, and her mind lit up -

"I understand, because the other half of the progress bar is not provided by the power of the underworld!" Perlis suddenly realized.

"Yes, what is needed is the power of the upper realm," Carly nodded, "that is, factor energy."

11) Engraving Ink (Part 4)

"Just one step away...they..."

Perlis sighed, thinking of the broken teacup in Sakura Shanmori's laboratory, and she imagined the scene at that time.

When the drilling rig erupted, she eventually chose to return to the school and be with the students.

She hid in the basement, and Perlis had no idea what happened to her, but her key eventually fell into the hands of students.

The scale of time suddenly stretched across before her, and looking at the half-charged [Holy Object], Perlis felt deeply saddened.

At this moment, a hand was placed on her shoulder.

"Don't let their efforts go to waste." Carly said softly.

Perlis nodded, and immediately placed the [holy object] back into the container, looking at the dark water droplet floating in the center of the container, emitting black gas.

She swung out her butterfly knife and tore open a rift in the upper world—

"Zizzi-"

Red arcs of electricity emerged from the gaps in space, all wrapping around the [Holy Object].

The holy object seemed to have long been eager to be filled with the power of the upper realm. The red electric arc was absorbed by it through the container, and the surface of the black water droplet was lit up with red light patterns.

At the same time, the progress bar on the instrument began to rise rapidly. In just a few dozen seconds, it reached 100% -

"Om-"

A vibration that permeated both above and below the space began to bloom. In this vibration that distorted inspiration, the frame of the portal began to glow crimson inch by inch.

Red spots of light appeared on those factor energy generators, and then they connected together to form a circular halo.

And within this halo, dark energy gushed out from the center of the portal like a tide, and was restrained by the red halo, gradually flattening out and filling the remaining space of the portal.

At the same time, the container that bound the [Holy Relic] suddenly exploded. When all the stored power was introduced into the portal frame, the black water droplet lost its luster and just slowly floated in the air, motionless.

Just like that, the portal leading to [Eternal Wall] was successfully charged.

The power of the upper world constrains the power of the lower world, forming the complete structure of this portal.

For some reason, the interweaving of red and black reminded Perlis of the physical features of the three Ersa sisters: blood-red eyes and long black hair.

Ibuki Rin can drive the power of the upper world and the power of the lower world at the same time... This seems to be the characteristic of the followers of [Mother Goddess Ersa].

This thought inexplicably made Perlis feel that the portal in front of her was much more reliable. The interweaving of red and black was just right to be the road to [Eternal Wall].

"It worked, but I don't know how long it will last." Carly looked at the portal with a little awe, "Shall we go in?"

"Wait a mininute."

Out of some instinct, Perlis grabbed the dark [holy object] with her hand and put it away carefully.

She always felt that the origin and use of this thing were far more than just this, and it must be useful.

After doing this, Perlis and Carly walked to the portal at the same time and looked at the scene of darkness and red.

The two held hands tacitly and stepped into the endless darkness.

Their figures did not pass through the other end of the door frame, but disappeared completely with a roar, leaving no trace.

The entire portal hall suddenly returned to its original state - silent and quiet.

Just then, the shadow in the corner of the room trembled slowly, like a string being touched.

The shadow spread silently on the ground and finally touched the frame of the portal.

Another roar sounded, and after a brief shock, silence returned again.

......

In Perlis's vision, she did not feel the drowning feeling she had when she was traveling in the [Netherworld], nor did she feel the long time.

When her cheek passed through the pitch-black portal, she found herself in a dark cave.

Absolute silence enveloped the surroundings. Perlis could even hear her own heart beating slowly in her chest, like the beat of a drum.

This silence seems a little creepy.

Carly seemed to be at a loss as to what to do in the silence. She glanced at Perlis and said in a low voice:

"Are we there yet?"

Pearlis shook her head slightly, indicating that she didn't know either.

The cave in front of her was pitch black. She couldn't even see the details on the wall. The light here was very dim. She could only barely feel the obsidian-like reflective texture of the wall.

Perlis decisively activated her factor vision. When she looked at the cave again, she suddenly made a different discovery from before.

——There are red lines on the top of the cave.

The lines meandered forward, like signposts pointing the way for Perlis.

"Follow me." Perlis said softly, then grabbed Carly's hand, and the two of them walked forward in the cave.

From time to time, a fork would appear in front of them, leading to several different paths at the same time.

In this case, Perlis could tell at a glance which road had the red lines and thus choose the right direction.

As she walked, Perlis suddenly realized that this was essentially a huge maze - countless caves were connected in series in the dark void, and there was only one road stained with red lines, which was the only way out.

If the Qilang people had really entered this space, they would probably not have been able to choose the right path.

Mortals are destined to find it difficult to glimpse the true appearance of gods.

At the same time, a question arose in Perlis's mind: Why are there red lines in the [Eternal Wall] that only the Hafrigad people can see?

Could it be that this means there is some relationship between [Mother Goddess Ursa] and [High Heaven]?

Recalling the passage in the fairy tale told by Miss Mei, Perlis grasped a key point:

There used to be an umbilical cord between [Erza] and [High Heaven] that transmitted "blessings". (Note 1)

Are these lines the traces of blessings?

So, is it possible that what we are in now is the inside of these umbilical cords?

Does this mean that if we walk against the red lines in these caves, we will eventually reach the [High Heaven]?

As soon as this terrible thought came to her mind, Perlis immediately dismissed it herself.

No...the "umbilical cord" has been cut by the Mother Goddess, it's impossible.

However, this at least made one thing clear - by following this path, one would definitely be able to enter the [Eternal Wall].

"..."

After walking in the darkness for a long time, Perlis suddenly felt a curtain-like presence in front of her, covering something grand.

"It's coming," Perlis murmured, "Carly, you'd better close your eyes first."

"Why?" Carly muttered, "Isn't it possible to meet the Mother Goddess directly?"

"Of course not. If we come face to face with Mother Goddess Ersa, we will die immediately," Perlis smiled softly, "The same goes for me."

This was not Perlis's guess, but an intuitive warning given to her by her inspiration.

This is a warning from the bloodline of Hafjargad.

......

11) Engraved Ink (Part 5) -4k chapter-

"..."

Sensing the huge object right in front of her, Perlis stretched out her hand and let the red arc flow out from her fingertips.

Soon, the arcs outlined a shape like a door in the dark space, flickering slightly in the darkness.

Behind this door is the real [Eternal Wall].

Perlis glanced at Carly, who had closed her eyes obediently and looked a little nervous.

She held Perlis's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that Perlis would run away.

No... I can't let Carly go in directly with me...

"Carly, let me go in and take a look first."

"Are you...are you sure?" Carly hesitated, "Will you get lost?"

"No, trust me," Perlis comforted her, "I'll just take a look."

Carly still hesitated for a moment, then let go of Pearl's hand.

Perlis patted Carly's shoulder gently, then walked to the door and leaned forward.

"Buzzing..."

In an instant, the grand scene came like a tide, severely oppressing Perlis's spirit.

Unlike the narrow path before, the space in front of her was so huge that Perlis felt like she was standing in the night sky. But if she looked closely, she would find that it was just a huge cave, but so big that it was difficult to see its edge.

The stone wall of the cave has the texture of obsidian, with strange patterns scattered on the surface, spreading out. There are countless blood-red dots scattered on the stone wall, shining with strange light like starlight.

At this moment, Perlis had a strange illusion - there were countless eyes looking at her.

As Perlis' eyes adjusted to the light, she gradually saw more details: she was currently on a steep walkway on the stone wall of this huge cave, with a bottomless abyss in front of her. There was no starlight below, only complete darkness.

At the edge of the cliff, bits of broken black stone solidified in mid-air in some strange way. Perlis could not sense the entanglement of the factors of those stones. They seemed not to belong to this world, but they were still suspended there, forming a bizarre scene.

Extending along these broken black stones, Perlis saw a huge structure in the air - it was a geometric body like a star ring formed by countless suspended black stones in the distant sky, crisscrossing and flashing strange lights.

Countless streams of information constantly impacted Perlis's brain. They were the extraordinary patterns on the stone walls, the evil light shining between the black stones, and the strange roar that resounded in the space.

All of this was like a river bursting its dam, pouring into Perlis's eyes.

As she took in the entire cave, she suddenly realized that half a minute had passed.

Yes, even for her, it took her a full half minute to get out of the mental stalemate mode.

This is the abode of the gods, with information entropy far beyond human comprehension, and even a glance at it would drive ordinary people crazy.

Fortunately, I peeked in first to take a look. If Carly had gone in directly, she might have gone crazy...Perlis thought so.

At this point, Perlis was suddenly in a dilemma - it was obvious that Carly couldn't get in, but Perlis didn't think that Carly could turn back.
