Volume 4: The End of the World Chapter 98: Rebirth Ceremony
silence……
Long, long... a silence so long that it seemed to last forever.
The direction of entropy change is the arrow that mortals use to understand causal time. In the entropy lake that reflects all concepts of aging, loss, and corruption, if we use the concepts of mortals in this world to understand, then the concept of time here, in a sense, is moving before the last second of destruction.
This is a place filled with rotten corpses, spreading decay, aging bodies, the torment of hunger, a decaying country, fading emotions, and the only passage to the realm of the demon god Biodin, the wilderness of dust that symbolizes the end of all things.
It is an eternal phantom that is infinitely close to the moment when time ends, but can never reach that moment.
Therefore, as long as Camilla does not use her great power to stir up the real world, causing the ripples in the real world to in turn cause changes in the mirror of the Moon Realm, then she can even continue to confront Beatrice.
At this moment, the two Moon Realm masters were like chess players, each holding a piece. They sat on the chessboard called Ravenwood, their hands hovering, and they were hesitant to make their next move.
After all, there is a chess piece on the board that will not act according to the will of any of them. Now they are just waiting for them to complete the next round of the game and then smash the entire chessboard to pieces.
Obviously, it was this immortal being who wielded the power of conspiracy and betrayal who planned all of this.
The current dilemma she was in was created by her.
But even so, Camilla did not show any emotion.
"Why did you do that?"
The goddess of corruption and hunger asked calmly, without even the impatience she had before.
"I should be the one asking you this question, right? Why did you go to such great lengths to change Ravenwood's timeline to your true origin?"
Beatrice suppressed her previous smugness and asked in the same calm tone:
"I was just testing you before, but I didn't expect you to actually agree to it... For a Moon Realm monarch, is the gain from this really worth gamble your eternity on?"
"Killing the disaster of the Moon Realm and taking over the 'right to discipline' in this world..."
Camilla replied, but...
"Come on, are you trying to say that you predicted his birth four thousand years in advance? Or that you knew he would return to the world one thousand and eight years in advance?"
Beatrice interrupted.
In response, Camilla looked at the two extinguished eyes on the other person's face and said:
"Of course not. After all, even you who are proficient in weaving the future, have not been able to 'see' the return of the disaster, right?"
As he finished speaking, the God of Corruption was pleased to see that the other party's remaining six eyes flickered slightly.
This is a manifestation of mood swings.
"Don't try to play such boring word games with me. Not daring to answer my questions directly will not hide your true intentions. On the contrary, it will only make you look guilty... Camilla, you in the past were created by me. Do you really think that I can't guess your intentions?"
Beatrice's tone suddenly turned cold.
"Don't think I'm like you, not taking action without first designing a plan that is doomed to fail. This is the foreshadowing I left when I was promoted, even though I didn't expect it to work today."
This alone doesn't prove anything.
In response, Camilla replied sharply.
"I have always felt that you are too obsessed with the forest elves. You have become an immortal void king and have obtained the authority of 'loss' that is most suitable for expanding your influence, but you have invested so much energy in the land of Ravenwood. Isn't this puzzling?"
Beatrice did not intend to argue further on this point, but instead turned to talk about another unreasonable point.
"Why, are you still going to say that everything I did was just to avenge the forest elves? Just because I was tortured and enslaved by their ancestors when I was a mortal, and my entire race was desecrated and destroyed?"
Camilla said as if she found it funny:
"You are also a mortal who was promoted to immortal. You should know this better than anyone else. After your rebirth, you recast the Immortal Throne and transcend the cause and effect of time. The Void King will never be manipulated by the incomplete thoughts that belong only to mortals."
For the nihilistic kings who are beyond cause and effect time, the mortal thinking patterns based on cause and effect time and the series of concepts derived from it are as ridiculous as a blind man touching an elephant in the face of the truth of the world.
If the present world had not been forcibly confined to recording only one possibility, and if it had not been as solid as a rock under the influence of the Holy Spirits, they would not even need to create a finite personality from their own infinity as a medium to project their own power.
Even if we take a step back and say that Camilla really intends to take revenge, she only wants to destroy a race with a population of only a million. Does it really require such a big fuss?
"Who said that the last bit of humanity you had left was for revenge against the forest elves?"
Beatrice waited quietly for the other party to finish speaking before she slowly spoke.
"I have been thinking about this for a long time. Why did you take the initiative to ask for the 'Seed of Hope' as your reward when we signed the contract with the Earl of Blackwater Swamp?
"Of course, you can say that you did this to support that member of the Tribunal to become the thirteenth Void King. But you and I both know how small the probability is that the Crow Man will succeed after Juamara took away the last soul fragment."
Camilla stopped talking after hearing this and lowered her head silently.
"Helping Coles get promoted is just a cover. Your real purpose is to accomplish that miracle that even we cannot achieve, right?"
Hearing this, the Goddess of Corruption raised her head sharply.
At some point, the entire sky above Lake Entropy was covered by a huge and complex spider web.
"Belice, you dare!?"
Following Camilla's roar, the surface of the entire Lake of Entropy began to boil.
At the same time, the entire world , especially Ravenwood in the two timelines, began to undergo drastic changes because of Camilla's power.
"You know, the most difficult step in weaving a conspiracy is actually guessing the other party's true motive. This is also the reason why I have always been at odds with that lunatic... Once the true motive is grasped, no matter who it is, it can be easily manipulated."
Without paying any attention to the other party's threats , Beatrice continued:
"Your motive from the beginning was to revive your children. Since the seeds of hope have been consumed by the disaster, the only thing you can do is to reincarnate again through rebirth, and then use the power of the Mother Earth to reunite them with you and let them be with you forever.
"Correction, it should be 'children', not 'children'. After all, of the three souls you kept in the soul box, two have firmly rejected the opportunity to return, right? Now only 'Fularo' is left... Oh? Do you really intend to fight me while the contract is still in effect and bear the penalty for breach of contract?"
Countless Moon Realm monsters emerged from the Lake of Entropy. They followed the Moon Realm passages and surged onto the big net woven by the Whispering Queen.
However, those staggering Moon Realm monsters were like flying insects caught in a spider web. They were stuck and lost their ability to move before they could struggle to destroy the web.
The web of conspiracy is unravelling, but only very slowly.
Too much of Camilla's power was projected into the real world, and coupled with the backlash of punishment for actively attacking her contracted partner, for a time, even in her own territory, she was unable to suppress Beatrice, an outsider.
"So what exactly are you planning to do with all this effort? Just to have a laugh?"
Camilla, whose whole body was burning with black flames due to violating the contract, questioned.
"Since your birth, weaving a conspiracy that lasted for five thousand years in the modern world has been the goal itself. Other things are incidental..."
There was a hint of pride in Beatrice's voice again.
"But as you said before, the foreshadowing of the past has brought us considerable rewards now. An opportunity to kill the Moon Realm Disaster, and more importantly, an opportunity to severely injure the Ironhearted Widow El..."
As she spoke, countless changes began to occur in the spider web in the sky.
"Do you still remember your promotion ceremony?"
Beatrice asked.
The ascension ceremony of the god of hunger and corruption, the wielder of the power of loss.
The Source of the Moon - symbolizes the supreme vitality, the heart of oak that can give life to dead things; it symbolizes the original death, and after collecting enough death records, it can prevent someone from being born at the source, thereby completely erasing the "unborn fetus" of the other person's existence.
The performer of the ascension ceremony must be a person who can represent a certain race, country, or culture itself, and must be strongly bound to the laws of the world by becoming an "authority".
The main body of the ritual is that when the race, country or culture represented by the executor is completely destroyed except for the executor himself, he uses the "unborn fetus" to erase himself, and at the same time uses the "heart of oak" to give life to the symbol left behind by himself and replace his identity.
The trigger for starting the ritual is the executor's complete suicide.
"Next, when the disaster begins to intersect the two timelines, Oakheart and the unborn fetus will be together again. I will guide the arrow of 'cause and effect' and use other means to kill Flora, and you will use the connection between the Throne of Withering and the World Tree to devour her soul and become the Mother Goddess of the Earth again, so as to get the opportunity to be reborn.
"Then, use the 'Unborn Fetus' to completely kill the avatar of nothingness that still retains my will, and at the same time, erase the 'Iron Oath' that unfolds inside that avatar. Maybe I can even erase the Moon Realm disaster, if he reacts slowly enough...
"Let the world tree that has lost its will gain life and become your empty shell. Only in this way can you get rid of the remaining influence of mortals and completely become a reborn king who is close to the will of a newborn king... This can also be considered as my reward."
