Chapter 232: See you again...

"The one who binds time".

"Are you okay?"

Ciel glanced at the Pope beside him and spoke.

It wasn't that Ciel looked down on the Pope, but he had to ask this question—

At this time, the iron mask on the face of the Pope of the God of Order had turned into molten iron, dripping down bit by bit. The molten iron stained with red flesh and blood slowly gathered at the soles of her feet, and then merged into her body again from the soles of her feet.

Such a horrible change made Charles have no doubt that she would collapse and go crazy at any time.

Charles was not worried about her, but about himself... A 4th-level transcendent was collapsing and going crazy beside him, and there was only a 2nd-level Tara by his side. The surroundings were basically sealed. In this situation, he really couldn't get any help from heaven or earth.

After all, the Pope's mental state seemed to be a little off before.

But upon hearing Charles' question, the Pope simply raised her hand and waved it slowly, and a distorted buzzing sound came out of her mouth.

"As long as you don't go inside, there won't be any problems..."

It is indeed not easy to remain rational and speak in this situation... Now even Tara, who was standing next to him, just hid behind Charles, subconsciously grabbed the hem of Charles' clothes and closed her eyes tightly, not daring to open her eyes again.

Charles suspected that the Pope had begun to use the "artificial godhood" plan to transform her own mind, otherwise it would be impossible to explain her current and previous split personality behavior.

"Tara, go up."

Charles turned around and put his hand on Tara's shoulder.

"No...Mother Goddess...I can do it..."

Tara murmured, not even noticing that she subconsciously said something she shouldn't have said.

"obedient."

Ciel's tone hardened a little.

Tara looked up into Charles' eyes, and after struggling for a while, she chose to bow to Charles, turned around and walked up the spiral staircase.

After watching Tara leave, Charles turned his attention back to the node of the other world in front of him.

Node…she saw it.

But can this thing be exchanged?

If it were possible, the number of destiny points required would probably be astronomical...

Could you replicate it yourself?

What's the structure inside the node? If, as Henry said, the route is fixed every time, why can Xiao Zuo take out the quill after entering?

You know, the feather pen was thrown by Charles in the other world of Buren City... It's impossible that Xiao Zuo rushed to Buren City and teleported back to Anzu City in just a few seconds, right?

While Charles was still studying the node of the other world in front of him, the Pope looked at the red-haired girl beside him and seemed to be lost in thought.

The scarlet blood light reflected on the red-haired Charles' body, making her pupils and long hair seem to emit fluorescence, and her hair seemed to merge into one with the vortex of blood in front of her.

What surprised the Pope the most was the way the Archbishop of the Holy Advent sect addressed Charles.

Mother Goddess…

real or fake?

Even if the 2nd-level archbishop might have been deceived, there was still a 4th-level cardinal waiting above him... It was obvious that the archbishop also recognized the identity of the girl in front of him.

If Ciel were a Level 3 or 4 transcendent, or a mind-disrupting transcendent like the "Subverter," the Pope wouldn't believe the "Mother Goddess"... But the girl beside him was clearly an ordinary person, without any magical potion power in her body...

This actually made the Pope believe it a little bit.

Perhaps because he was shocked by his own inner speculation, the Pope subconsciously took a step back, away from the girl in front of him.

Staying away was just an instinctive reaction, but reason told her that she should stay here and see clearly what the other party wanted to do.

"Can you tell me about your research on this node?"

Ciel turned around and looked at the Pope beside him and asked.

"Only those with great spiritual gifts, those who can become saints, are qualified to enter the other world for a short time."

The Pope spoke slowly, "And before each entry, a portion of the sacrifice is required to activate the node in front..."

"Um……"

Charles nodded slightly. She roughly understood the operating logic of this node.

This is a semi-dormant blood formation, connected to a gate to the other world. On weekdays, like now, it is basically in a semi-dormant state. Only by taking in enough sacrifices can the gate to the other world expand to a level that allows people to enter.

It is estimated that some of the sacrificed flesh and blood was diverted to nourish and stabilize this node.

"Did you keep any records of your previous exploration inside?"

Ciel asked, looking at the Pope.

"some."

The Pope nodded slightly. She put her hand in front of her lower abdomen. The armor in front of her lower abdomen melted, and a hole appeared. She reached her hand into the hole and took out a record.

"This is a copy."

She handed the notebook to Charles in front of her.

The Pope did not mind sharing this information; she even hoped that the other party could know a little more to help her continue exploring deeper into this node.

At this time, Xiao Zuo, who was lying on Charles' shoulder, seemed to be a little depressed. After waving his fingers in front of Charles, it jumped into the node of the other world like a jumping bead and disappeared.

Without more blood supply, Xiao Zuo can no longer sustain the consumption outside the other world.

Charles did not intend to continue feeding Xiao Zuo with blood because it had no way to help him explore the other world.

Although it can rely on instinct to help Charles do some things and can also conduct some very simple communication, its intelligence level is still a bit too low, and it is far from being able to communicate normally with Charles like the Dark Bug.

Charles reached out, took the notebook handed to him by the Pope, and opened it directly.

This is something similar to an exploration notebook, all written in the first person, recording what is seen and heard in the other world... From the different narrative styles and different signatures, it can be seen that basically a different person is written every two or three pages.

Ciel flipped through the pages quickly, and soon she stopped at one of them.

She saw the explorer's name on it - Nia.

Most of the content is vague, and like most other first-person descriptions, the vast majority of the text is devoted to describing the pain and oppressive feelings in the other world, as well as the hallucinations seen after mental disorder.

However, most people's records mentioned a black castle... This proved that they all passed through this node and entered the same otherworldly space, and through the trial and error of different people, they gradually found a relatively safe route to the castle entrance.

This is a path created by sacrificing human lives.

However, in the first-person narrative after Nia, Charles finally saw some useful information.

That person brought something out from the other world - she brought a polluted brain out of the other world.

Didn't he bring any written materials? It seems Lafayette doesn't know the truth either...

"You studied that brain and obtained information about the 'artificial godhead' from it?"

Ciel asked casually as he continued to flip through the pages.

"Exactly."

The Pope didn't shy away from the topic and spoke directly, "This is our main research direction so far... There are many more similar things inside, but subsequent saints can no longer get any closer."

After all, their mental strength is limited. Even if they have discovered a relatively safe path, they still cannot go deeper... If they continue forward, they will most likely get lost in it.

Even the saint who was lost in it and fell into madness before would become an obstacle to those who came later.

It can be seen that the Pope really hopes that someone can bring back a sample of the brain.

Ciel flipped back the notebook in his hand and turned to the page where the brain was found.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing... Deep green brains connected to each other, clinging to the drawbridge in front of the castle like tumors. As I approached, terrifying illusions and phantoms appeared before me...

I strained my strength, crawled over, and dug out a piece with my spirit blade... The entire castle seemed to seethe, and piercing howls and screams filled my ears, nearly causing my spirit to collapse...

I ran back like crazy, my mind no longer capable of thinking about anything other than fear and escape... I've already taken my brain out... Please, don't let me go back in...

This was the last article left by that person. The subsequent conclusion read "Lost", which probably meant that he was thrown into the other world again, completely lost in it, and couldn't find the way back.

Ciel looked at the notepad in front of him, thinking secretly.

She seemed to be speaking casually: "Has Qiang Yin seen this note?"

Hearing Charles' question, the Pope was slightly taken aback, but still chose to answer: "No, I am the only one who has the right to read the entire notebook. Qiang Yin has only read the one you are reading now."

Haven't you watched the entire Strong Voice?

This leaves a lot of room for maneuver...

You can start from here and deceive Qiang Yin. The complete "uniqueness" is inside, let him get it himself. In this way, Qiang Yin will have a reason to enter the node of the other world.

In the previous gate to the other world, Qiang Yin would not take the initiative to go deeper, so he could choose to escape if he felt danger.

But if he was really lured into the depths by "uniqueness", as long as Ciel could hold on longer than him, waiting for the strong sound, he would only be lost in it.

However, in reality, Ciel was not sure whether contacting the God of Order was a good choice - it was not as easy to control as the Savior Goddess and the Holy Advent Sect.

Ciel closed the notebook, handed it back to the Pope, and asked one last question.

"last question,"

Ciel looked at the Pope of the God of Order and asked, "Has Qiangyin seen this node in the other world?"

"Saw it."

The Pope nodded.

“Every qualified collaborator can see it.”

Just read it...

The Pope dared to let Qiang Yin see this thing. It seems that he is very confident that even Qiang Yin cannot snatch away this node of the other world.

As long as he could perfectly replicate this node in the other world, Charles would have the last piece of the puzzle to defeat Qiang Yin.

Driving others crazy in the other world, and making them go crazy in reality... For some reason, this method reminded Charles of a familiar system skill.

【Nemesis】

The ability of Nemesis seems to have the same effect as the pollution of the other world, except that the trigger of Nemesis requires eye contact with Charles as a trigger, but the other world does not require any trigger conditions.

"Borrow a knife."

Ciel raised his hand in the direction of the Pope.

"Uh…what do you want to do?"

The Pope's voice echoed from within the armor. She seemed to understand what Charles wanted and reminded him, "The sacrifice requires a complete, transcendental corpse of at least level 3 or higher. If you wish to activate the node, I can arrange it for you, Your Excellency."

Despite saying this, the Pope still raised his hand, forged a dagger, and handed it to Charles in front of him.

She also wanted to see what method Charles wanted to use to activate the node in the other world in front of him.

Ciel reached out to take the knife, holding it in his right hand, and directly grasped the blade with his left hand, pulling it out gently with his right hand.

A bloodstain appeared on the palm of Charles' left hand.

Spiritual Calling

Charles looked at the node of the other world in front of him, raised his left hand and aimed it at the node in front of him.

The spiritual summoning was activated, and Charles' blood was continuously drawn out, condensing into blood threads. The scattered blood threads began to rapidly form according to the blood formation on the shield in front of him.

Charles held his breath, concentrated his mind, and controlled each strand of blood to fall precisely where he wanted.

Soon, an identical blood formation, except without the broken shield, appeared in front of Charles.

The Pope stared in amazement at the two nearly identical blood formations before him, as well as the fist-sized blood-red vortex that began to swirl in front of Ciel's blood formation...

"This is impossible……"

The Pope murmured.

It's not that she hasn't tried to use the blood of extraordinary people to copy the blood formation above, but it was basically useless. Other senior executives, like her, almost unanimously believed that the shield fragments on the blood formation were the key, and this node in the other world could not be copied.

But the reality before them was that the node in the other world that they had once thought was unreplicable was "casually" reproduced by the red-haired girl in front of them...

However, the appearance of the second blood formation caused the Pope's already shaken mental power to begin to fluctuate violently... She didn't even have time to say anything before she completely gave up control of this armored body. Her spirit quickly dissipated and moved away from this broken body.

At this time, Charles was concentrating and calming down, and did not notice the unusual movements around her. She was still feeling a little relieved that she had successfully constructed the blood formation.
