Chapter 399 Sublime

Denton's heart moved slightly.

The surrounding scene was rippling like water, and Bernardino rose up into a poor young man of seventeen or eighteen years old in the blink of an eye. Although he was still a teenager, his stubble and face were enough to make people think that he was two. Seventeen-year-old youth.

He himself became a kind-faced white-haired old man.

"...how, Bell?"

Denton laughed and made a kind voice: "Would you like to go to the Tower of Black Glory with me?"

"But, but I'm seventeen years old... Is it alright?"

Bernardino's eyes were shaken.

From his eyes, Denton saw the familiar, ignited fire of hope——

And he is also very skilled, strangling it:

"certainly--"

He lengthened his voice and smiled: "As long as you have money, I can give you a recommendation.

"Five hundred pounds, a chance to change fate, isn't it expensive? So, are you rich?"

Bernardino, of course, did not.

Not to mention five hundred pounds, his entire fortune was only three pounds.

Watching the smile on Bernardino's face gradually disappear, the fire of hope in his eyes went out again and became dark. Denton just patted him on the shoulder and made a devilish whisper: "But don't worry... You don't have a chance as an apprentice, but an anonymous apprentice is okay."

"...Anonymous apprentice?"

"Yes. Our Tower of Black Glory is a place where idols and the Reaper of Souls are the main schools. Many spells need to be practiced. If you want, you can also audit some courses. The price you have to pay is just to accept other students. Spells, as a mind-reading object."

Denton said with a smile: "Not only do you not want money, but you can eat and live, how about it?"

- In other words, it's an experiment.

Imperium and idol spells are both types that cannot be used without a target.

Naturally, it is impossible for them to let these students experiment on their teachers.

But they also wouldn't allow apprentices to experiment with each other.

So naturally, some people have to be hired as "course props".

Of course, in principle, if the "anonymous apprentice" can learn any spell under the condition of being cast, he can directly become an ordinary apprentice. Not only do they not charge tuition fees, but they also give pocket money.

But Denton's purpose is to destroy Bernardino's beautiful memory and plant the seeds of self-destruction in his heart.

So naturally he wouldn't say that.

As long as he can know, Bernardino has been self-destructive at a precise moment in his life.

He will be able to detonate it precisely in the future.

This is just the "burying" stage.

Looking at the decadent "youth" struggling and thinking, Denton patted him lightly on the shoulder and added in a low voice: "Of course, if you don't want to, I don't force it.

"—I just think you're so young. You should learn something, or you'll waste your time?"

He pretended to inadvertently asked: "Ah, by the way, do you have ideals? Is there anything you definitely want to do?"

"...ideal."

The young Bernardino murmured in a low voice, "Of course I have."

"what is it then?"

Denton said gently: "If it makes me feel good, maybe I will recruit you out of the blue?"

- Of course this is a lie.

The purpose is to give hope and further despair.

But Bernardino did not excitedly ask "Is it true?"

He just remained silent, shook his head, and looked at the sky.

His eyes were like an old man's vicissitudes.

"I used to want to be a philosopher, I wanted to go to seminary. I wanted to know what the world was like. I used to think I was smart, I wanted to feel the world for what it was, and I thought To know how this world, this universe is made up."

He murmured in a low voice: "But after all, I didn't do it well.

"—I didn't do anything well. I deserved this."

"What's the matter?"

Denton asked in a warm, concerned voice, "Can you tell me?"

"I'm too incompetent."

Bernardino shook his head silently and whispered: "This is fate, and I have missed it.

"As written in "On Fate and the Half Mystery of the Dice", [Fate is the Wheel of the Heavenly Chariot]. Once you go through it, you can't go back... Thank you.

"Let me let go of what I can't let go and what I can't forget, and finally let go."

Denton listened, and suddenly realized something was wrong.

He turned and ran without hesitation.

Ice-blue flames rose from the skin, like a dreamy thrush made of crystals, and took off in an instant. The surrounding scene changed rapidly, and he fled backward for a year after flapping his wings.

But at this moment, behind the young and decadent Bernardino, a translucent black giant composed of countless black spiritual bodies suddenly sprang up. In its abdomen, there is a golden, nebula-like slowly rotating Bright one-eyed.

The giant raised his hand, seemingly slowly but quickly crossing the interval of time, holding Denton in his hand like a real bird.

"Sorry! I was wrong!"

Denton apologized without hesitation: "I can sign a contract with you, any conditions are up to you!"

joke……

If Bernardino had shown this thing in the first place, he would have run away immediately.

As a veteran gold-rank superhuman, of course he knows what this is.

——This is the characteristic of having obtained the [Supreme Crown] and [Perfect Essence of Elements]!

The so-called [sublime fake].

Five must-haves for the Ascension Ceremony.

[The four-wheel operation]——No longer has the weaknesses and loopholes in the body and soul, and has a perpetual motion machine that can generate infinite power.

【Created work】——Complete the great cause that only one can achieve, and change the era with only one person.

[Supreme Crown] - Achieving "absolute world number one" in a certain field.

[Prototype of Truth] - Find and collect a complete set of books of truth.

【Perfect Essence of Elements】——Awaken at least one element to the deepest level.

Among the five conditions for becoming a god, the first two are the most difficult. The path chosen by each god is different.

The latter three are relatively simple... The Book of Truth is directly selected, and there is no need to force it. As long as the other two have talent, they just have to wait.

Of the latter three, those that satisfy the "perfect essence of the elements" and any one or two of the rest can be called [sublime fakes].

That is, the real "demigod".

If all three are present, it should be a well-defined giant spirit—whatever its shape is, it will show the innermost essence of each person and the true nature of the soul.

And Bernardino didn't have the Book of Truth, so his sublime avatar was muddy and indistinct.

But even so... this is definitely not an enemy Denton can resist.

"I have no conflict with you, right? Master Zhijing psychic medium... what do you want?"

"What I want..."

Bernardino murmured in a low voice, the corners of his mouth raised: "I don't think you will give it to me.

"—Because what I want is your spinal cord."

After he said that, he threw Denton's soul into the belly of the "sublime fake" behind him.

When Bernardino opened his eyes again.

The crowd that had been attacking him incessantly was already stunned in place.

They responded quickly.

Screaming, shouting, fleeing or attacking, thousands of people scrambled.

And no one can stop Bernardino.

Soon, an elf spirit body walked out of the palace holding a string of bloody spines.

Feeling the approach of several powerful breaths, Bernardino smiled and did not panic.

"Do you want to watch our dog bite a dog... well. This body will be given to you..."

Bernardino murmured in a low voice.

He summoned his sublime avatar again and threw his spine into it.

Then he inhaled all those spirit bodies into his right eye.

Then he tilted his head and lost his breath in the wheelchair.
