Chapter 297 Robert's Promotion: A Series of Twists and Turns
Chapter 297 Robert's Promotion Was Full of Twists and Turns
"Is this one of your people?"
Finding Bernadette distracting him from the museum's interior, Robert couldn't help but frown and ask.
"No, but we can temporarily put this struggle on hold. Let this person take the blasphemous card first, and then we'll each rely on our own methods!"
Bernadette was confident that although she could not foresee this person's fate, she could easily find him. In addition, she wanted to intervene in the battle that was about to change in the sky, so she made this suggestion to postpone the contest between the two sides and at least get the Blasphemy Card out of the control of the Steam and Mechanical Church.
To persuade Robert, Bernadette pointed to the battle in the sky and added:
"Augustus I was very well prepared; his goal from beginning to end was to take down the Speaker of Life!"
If the Speaker of Life dies, the extraordinary traits that the Augustus family gained will be very detrimental to our future plans.
Ms. Amanda has a 0-14 destiny; you should understand how difficult the path of fate can be!
Robert watched the battle in the sky and fell silent, because Bernadette's words made a lot of sense; he really could not stand by and watch Augustus I's conspiracy succeed!
"I'll do as you say, but I can't get involved in this matter anymore, otherwise my identity might be exposed, so be careful on your own!"
Robert agreed to Bernadette's proposal, not because he was persuaded by her, but because it was something he had discussed with the Speaker of the Life Council.
Since his complete break with the Duke of Negan at George III's birthday banquet, becoming a vanguard of military reform, and fully aligning himself with the ruling party.
Whether it was to reward him, because he was already considered half a member of the Augustus family, or to balance the factions within the Augustus family who were not convinced of his authority, George III gave him the potion recipe for the Sequence 3 of the Path of Judgment, "Chaos Hunter".
Robert had some extraordinary encounters in his early years, including the extraordinary traits of Sequence 3 "Mad Mage" in the Lawyer path and Sequence 3 "Chaos Hunter" in the Arbitrator path!
Robert has been unable to advance in the past year simply because he lacks the relevant potion recipe!
After obtaining the potion recipe, Robert learned that the ritual to advance to the 'Chaos Hunter' was to restore order to a chaotic area. The more people involved, the larger the area, and the higher the rank of the people involved, the better the ritual's effect!
Just as Robert was considering whether to push the Kingdom of Rune to war with the pirates, the Four Kings and Seven Generals, Evan rushed to Count Ahova's mansion that night to wake him up, handed him a seemingly ordinary origami crane, and said something that left him speechless.
"This is from the Life School's Chairman, who asked me to give it to you. He said he's willing to lend you a hand in the upcoming operation!"
Robert knew exactly who the Speaker of Life was and what power he possessed. If he could get his help, wouldn't he have everything under control?
Robert then began a lengthy conversation with the Speaker of the Life Council, using a pencil as a guide.
After the communication was completed, Robert took the origami crane and went to the palace that very night to tell George III that the Speaker of the Council of Life had approved his request to cooperate with the Augustus family to expel Ullolius!
King George III was overjoyed to receive the message from Robert.
The Church of Steam and Machinery has, as promised, sent people to Backlund with the sealed artifacts during the Roselle Emperor Memorial Exhibition.
All preparations are complete, everything is ready except for the final push, but that final push is not so easy to come by.
In the Augustus family's plan, it was extremely difficult to convey their proposal for cooperation to the Speaker of Life and gain his trust.
After all, if an archangel of the Fate Path really wanted to hide, it would be really hard to find any other angels besides the true god or Urolius, who is also of the Fate Path!
If the Speaker of Life is determined not to show himself and hides in Backlund, the Augustus family will have a hard time finding him.
However, the most important part of the Augustus family's plan to hunt down the "Chief of Life" is to first find a target.
If you can't find a goal, what's the point of having a plan?
The Augustus family had originally planned to secretly create an opening, using Ouroles to force the Speaker of Life to come out, should a last resort.
But just then, the Speaker of the Life Council unexpectedly offered cooperation through Robert—wasn't this like a godsend?
Although the timing was indeed coincidental, the Augustus family was not without suspicion. However, no matter how they reviewed the situation, they felt that the Life Council Chairman's injuries were too severe and the pressure from Urolius was too great, so he had no choice but to take the initiative to cooperate.
Thanks to Robert's efforts, it was finally confirmed that the Speaker of Life would appear tonight as a signal for the battle of the angels!
Robert, acting as the intermediary, will take this opportunity to set things right in the long-standing chaos in Backlund and complete the ascension ceremony of the "Chaos Hunter," officially becoming a "Sequence 3 Demigod."
That's right, Robert only just completed his ascension ceremony. He is still a Sequence 4 "Law Master" and what he just said was a lie to Bernadette.
However, to deceive Bernadette, the angel who was "the spy," words alone were not enough; a certain credential was also needed, namely the pocket watch in Robert's hand.
This pocket watch was a prize from Robert's early adventures and is known as the Night Emperor's Pocket Watch.
This pocket watch contains two angelic extraordinary traits: Arbitrator Path Sequence 2 "Balancer" and Lawyer Path Sequence 2 "Duke of Entropy".
He inherited the title of "Night Emperor," the emperor who established the Terensost Empire after the "War of the Four Emperors" in the Fourth Age.
The perfect combination of two angelic-level extraordinary characteristics, coupled with the fact that the "Night Emperor" seal minimizes its side effects, gives Robert the confidence to face Bernadette.
Although she was surprised by Robert's quick agreement, Bernadette didn't think much of it, simply nodded, and disappeared.
Robert glanced at the museum below, then looked up at the battle in the air, and finally, using his pocket watch as a cover,
With one step, he was back at Earl Ahova’s mansion in Queens, ready to begin concocting potions and complete his advancement.
Robert's ascension was completed the moment Ouroles left!
Robert was confident that the blasphemous plaque in the museum would eventually fall into his hands, which was a major reason why he agreed to Bernadette's request.
His confidence stemmed not only from the fact that Evan had previously hinted that a third party might be seeking to desecrate the card tonight.
Furthermore, it was because, with the blessing of the Life Council Chairman, he used the Fate Path Seal 0-14 in Amanda's possession.
No matter how many twists and turns there are, fate will deliver this blasphemous card into his hands.
Robert is still at the museum today only to prevent the blasphemous plaque from falling into Bernadette's hands first, and then passing through Bernadette to him.
After all, they were going to cooperate on the matter of George III being promoted to the title of "Black Emperor".
If Robert obtained the Blasphemy Card through Bernadette, then he will feel inferior to Bernadette when they cooperate in the future.
This is something Robert, who likes to be in control, would absolutely not allow, even if she is the daughter of his most admired idol!
But how did Evan know that a third party was plotting to desecrate the talisman? What was the origin of that strange spirit? Was the Church of the Night behind it all? Had they discovered George III's scheme?
A series of questions lingered in Robert's mind, refusing to go away.
But none of that matters now; the most important thing is to complete the general upgrade.
Robert looked at the colorless potion that had already been prepared in the cup in front of him, and without any hesitation, he put it into his mouth and drank it all in one gulp!
Just as Robert was drinking the potion to advance in rank, Augustus I and Bonova Gustav both turned their attention to the obviously seriously injured Chairman of Life.
Bonova Gustav, suppressing his discomfort, turned the box in his hand toward the Speaker of Life, while Augustus I once again slashed with his longsword, imprisoning the Speaker of Life, and at the same time activated the 'Bloody Crown' he wore, preparing to kill him on the spot.
This is a complete copy of the tactics used against Ouro!
The Speaker of Life is not the King of Angels, nor does he have a true God as his backer.
Augustus I and Bonova Gustav, along with the unusually sinister sealing artifact in his possession, were a combination that could severely injure Ouroboros and force him to leave; it seemed they could easily kill the Speaker of Life.
But the Speaker of Life is, after all, a senior archangel, and having put himself in this situation, he was naturally prepared.
A giant, silvery-white serpent in the sky spat out a translucent worm with twelve transparent rings on its surface.
"still!"
After the Speaker of Life uttered a word in ancient Hermes, the worm shattered, and the entire Backlund came to a standstill.
Augustus I's sword-wielding hand froze in mid-air.
The red light emanating from the box in Bonova Gustav's arms, which was aimed at the Speaker of Life, stopped.
Even the Blood Crown has stopped hunting down the Speaker of Life!
Taking advantage of this opening, the Speaker of Life bit his own tail, forming a mysterious wheel that restored his aura to what it was before the great battle.
The Serpent of Fate restarts one by one!
He restored himself to his condition from a few minutes ago; although he couldn't reach his peak, he was still much better than he was after fighting Ouroboros.
At this moment, time, which had been frozen due to the "Time Worm," began to flow again, and Augustus I and Bonova Gustav resumed their actions.
The effect of "Time Bug" lasts for less than a second!
The two who had recovered remained expressionless and continued their previous actions, determined to kill the Speaker of Life.
No matter how many trump cards the Life Council has, or how well he has recovered, he is now facing the combined forces of three Sequence 1s and one Sequence 2, and it seems that he will ultimately not escape the fate of being captured and killed.
Just then, Bernadette appeared behind Bonois.
She wore a pale mask that shimmered with metallic luster.
The mask only had holes for the eyes, with no gaps anywhere else, which made Bernadette appear extremely cold and noble, but lacking any sense of life.
The moment Bernadette appeared, she immediately infused the 'pale death' on her face with spirituality, forming an extremely complex three-dimensional rune in front of her.
Then, with a flick of his finger, the three-dimensional symbol of death floated toward Bonova Gustave himself.
Sensing a life-or-death crisis, Bonova Gustav was forced to turn around and aim the red light emanating from the box in his hand at the 'death' symbol that was already in front of him!
At the same time, a mechanical doll appeared out of nowhere, instantly disintegrating and enlarging, and was put on Bonova Gustav's body, making him look like the protagonist of the comic book "Steamman" once drawn by Emperor Roselle.
Roselle the Great had a wide range of interests and was the pioneer of modern comics. His "Steamman" series captivated countless children, inspiring them to dismantle their own gaslights and aspire to excel in math, physics, and chemistry to become glorious steam mechanics! It greatly propelled the development of the steam revolution!
Upon her appearance, Bernadette used "Pale Death" to force Bonava Gustav to use "Lunar Box" to defend, while simultaneously pointing in the direction of the Life Council Chairman and inputting a message.
She entered this message to change Augustus I's rule against the Speaker of Life, since her goal was to save the Speaker of Life from danger, not to start a fight!
The information Bernadette entered worked, revealing a loophole in the 'scope' defined by Augustus I.
Just as the Speaker of Life was about to use this loophole to escape, a bolt of lightning struck him, nearly killing him instantly.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the entire sky above Backlund was now covered in the red light of the "Bloody Crown," with lightning flashing everywhere.
Thunderstorms, skyfires, hurricanes...
Many natural disasters that could be described as "destructive" occurred at the same time, and Backlund seemed to have entered the apocalypse in an instant.
Bernadette frowned slightly, flipped her right hand, and took out a golden, miniature kettle covered with mysterious and complex symbols. A lamp with a wick protruding from the spout was about to make a move.
Upon seeing this, Bonois Gustav shouted to Augustus I:
"Watch out, this is 0-05!"
At the same time, he frantically poured spiritual energy into the "Moon Goddess Box" in his arms and used the authority of the "Master of Knowledge" to change the rules of physics, trying to transfer Bernadette away from Backlund!
Upon hearing his teammate's words, Augustus I immediately declared:
"Communication is prohibited here!"
Augustus I had also heard of the legend of 0-05, and immediately silenced Bernadette, preventing her from communicating and trading with the "genie".
At the same time, Augustus I also declared to the Speaker of the Council of Life: "Movement is prohibited here!" thus imprisoning the Speaker of the Council of Life once again!
He immediately activated the "Bloody Crown" on his head, unleashing a deluge of disaster in order to eliminate the Speaker of Life as quickly as possible.
For a moment, the Speaker of the Life Council seemed to be trapped in a dead end, with no way to escape!
But at that moment, a massive sword tore through the battlefield sky created by the "Bloody Crown," pointing directly at Augustus I in the center of the battlefield.
"Dante Einhorn!!!"
