Chapter 4002 The Song of the Purple Moon (53) — The Origins of Testarosa
In the dark golden maze passage, a figure hummed an unknown tune as he slowly walked... [Demon Sword Caesar]—or rather, someone using that identity.
At this moment, his hand was grabbing Boros's ear, and he was just dragging this long-eared rabbit along... when he left the heart of the maze, he casually brought him out with him.
The humming melody suddenly stopped.
He looked around, seemingly lost in thought.
"It seems that it has finally evolved into a [Super Artifact]." He pondered for a moment, when suddenly an [Eye of the Maze] appeared silently on the floor behind him.
Without saying a word, [Demon Sword Caesar] took a step back and stepped directly onto the [Eye of the Labyrinth].
Snapped!
Explosive pulp!
"Heh, you've only just evolved, and you're already in such a hurry?" [Caesar] chuckled. "Have you forgotten who helped you complete this body?"
The surroundings were eerily quiet... but the Eye of the Labyrinth did not reappear.
Caesar didn't pay any attention and continued to drag the rabbit Boros around, casually walking through the complex maze passages—as if he were just strolling around, without any predetermined destination.
Finally, he stopped, drawn by a low sob... his footsteps followed the rhythm of the faint sobs.
[Caesar] came to a little girl with long pink hair...
But there's more than just the little pink-clad girl here!
There were also a large number of [Weeping Angels] that were on the verge of breaking... On the other side, there was even a man lying on the ground, unconscious—the male knight, Gazef!
Caesar paused for a moment, lost in thought.
The little girl who was sobbing was curled up, but not squatting. Instead, she was being embraced from behind by a woman with long, disheveled hair, wearing a simple sea-blue dress, and with an extremely pale face. The woman's long, disheveled hair was wrapped tightly around the girl's frail body like black seaweed.
The woman was humming something softly in the little girl's ear, like an ancient ballad.
“Colibuso…” Caesar walked up to the little girl, slowly squatted down, and looked into the girl’s unfocused pupils. “Child of Davy Jones and Poseidon, is this what you fear, your… true mother?”
Upon hearing this, the pink-haired girl, [Cornebus], seemed to react somewhat, but quickly returned to her dazed state.
Instead, the woman who was hugging her from behind suddenly raised her head and stared at Caesar with an extremely ferocious gaze—she suddenly opened her mouth, and a sharp whistling sound burst out instantly.
The siren's scream!
"Relax, relax." Caesar simply plugged his ear with his fingers. "Don't worry about me, just continue. I won't hurt your daughter."
The woman's shrill screams gradually subsided. She still glanced warily at Caesar before silently tightening her embrace of Corybusch.
At this moment, the woman's disheveled long black hair quickly wrapped around [Cornebuso] and herself, and soon completely engulfed them, transforming into a smooth black [cocoon].
Caesar chuckled softly, "Could this be considered another form of becoming one... just like when you were first born?"
He stood up, his gaze sweeping over the statues of the Weeping Angels before finally settling on the unconscious Gazef.
He casually walked over, and as he passed by, he picked up the hilt of the Sword of Light that had fallen beside Gazef, and couldn't help but chuckle, "Well, I got it after all. Not bad luck."
Suddenly, Gazef, in his unconscious state, showed an even more pained expression, and his eyelids were tightly closed!
At the same time, a hazy mist emanated from Gazef's body, and then the mist quickly gathered... and formed a blurry human figure!
The figure gradually solidified!
If Testarossa were here at this moment, she would have discovered that the figure that appeared was none other than the [Radiant King] whom she had just destroyed!
Fear is a creation, and as long as the source of fear remains, that fear will not disappear—therefore, no matter how many times it is "killed," as long as it is in the labyrinth, the [Radiant King] will reappear!
The restored projection, [Radiant King], slowly opened its eyes—[he] still retained the memories of its defeat.
But at this moment, the King of Light was bewildered, because although the experience was clear, he could not understand how he had fallen!
What mysterious nature does that rebel leader's divine magic possess?
But soon, the "returning" [Radiant King] frowned, staring at [Demon Sword Caesar] with a gloomy gaze, "You're also a member of the rebels... Are you here to retrieve Gazef?"
[Radiant King] was not allowed to speculate any further—after all, [Caesar] was still carrying Gazef's [Sword of Light] and dragging along a... a big rabbit?
"Rebels?" [Caesar] suddenly narrowed his eyes and chuckled. "Although I am different from the rebels you speak of, I can indeed be called a [rebel]. But that's not how you see me."
"Hmph! As long as they're rebels!" The [Radiant King] didn't care about anything else; as long as they admitted to being rebels, that was enough. "Traitors, be punished!"
After directly labeling this guy as a member of Testarossa's group, [Radiant King] didn't hold back—if he couldn't deal with Testarossa, he could at least deal with this woman's subordinate?
[Radiant King] swung his sword directly!
[Demon Sword Caesar] directly swung the hilt of the [Sword of Light] in his hand... A buzzing sound rang out, and the blade of light shot out in an instant, directly blocking the sharp slash of [Radiant King]!
However, the projected [Radiant King] has already reached its maximum amplification – without divine magic, pure violence is terrifying enough!
Boom, boom, boom! ! !
Caesar, who was resisting the [Radiant King], pierced through the maze floor layer by layer with his body!
"[Radiant King], it seems like you're taking your anger out on me?" Despite this, [Caesar] showed no sign of urgency, instead calmly observing [Radiant King]'s expression. "Got a beating?"
[Radiant King] ignored all of this and frantically slashed at [Caesar] with his twin swords. Then the two of them crashed backward, breaking through layer after layer of the maze!
……
……
"...So, I hope you can cheer me up."
Just as Testarossa finished speaking, a small stone suddenly fell right next to her feet!
Testarossa frowned and glanced around, only to see Ah Xiru looking at her with a half-smile, even weighing another piece of stone fragment in her hand.
—Yes, I was the one who threw the stone!
“Madam, I’ve come here merely to inquire, not to provoke you.” Testarossa thought for a moment and said, “How about an equal exchange? If this Pirate King can tell me about that sea of flowers, I can provide him with some information… Hmm, how about the secrets of the Old Gods?”
Ah Xiruo then glanced at Zhang Bolu.
Zhang Bolu asked in surprise, "Secrets of the Old Gods? Unfortunately, I am not an archaeologist and have little interest in the secrets of the last divine era. Besides, the Old Gods have already perished, so what difference would it make if I knew more?"
Testarossa said calmly, "The past is indeed gone, and the history they created has been buried... However, the various civilizations created in the last divine era are also buried in the void, and some inheritances have been preserved. For example, knowledge and treasures."
Zhang Bolu realized that this mysterious woman in the white dress was probably very wary of [Xiang Feihu]'s friends, and therefore only wanted to resolve the matter peacefully... or rather, Testarossa was stalling for time until Ah Xiruo's unbelievably powerful "state" disappeared?
He quickly said, "That sea of flowers is related to the treasure deep within the core of [Purple Moon]... [Purple Moon] is a remnant from the Old Gods Era, so this treasure must be something that has been passed down to you, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have said it was [equivalent exchange]."
Testarossa chuckled softly, neither denying nor affirming.
Zhang Bolu said, "Do you know what's inside the Purple Moon Treasure? I need to know what's inside to determine whether the information you've presented is commensurate with it."
Testarossa said calmly, "Don't worry, the information I'm providing about the other legacy won't disappoint you. You're a Void Pirate, so you should be familiar with the [Dragon Palace], right?"
Upon hearing this, Ah Xi Ruo was stunned... Dragon Palace?
Zhang Bolu pondered, "Dragon Palace? The Dragon Palace that guards the four seas beneath the Heavenly Court? We already know about these things, so what use would I have for it? Do you expect me to attack the Heavenly Court?"
Although the Gorge of Freedom and Wildness is considered powerful, in the void, it is at best a small, isolated mountain culture. How can it really challenge a void giant like the Heavenly Palace?
“I’m talking about the real Dragon Palace,” Testarossa said with a slight smile. “The Dragon Palace in the Heavenly Court now was only built after the New God Era. But the one I’m talking about is one of the real Dragon Palaces from the Old God Era… the ruins of the East Sea Dragon Palace.”
A sharp glint suddenly flashed in Zhang Bolu's eyes!
With the same look in his eyes was the cowardly witch, who was trying her best to make herself inconspicuous—indeed, the longer you live, the more you know!
“Of course, the ruins are real.” Testarossa then said directly, “It hasn’t been opened yet, but what’s inside the East Sea Dragon Palace is unknown… Whether it contains endless treasures or has long been reduced to ruins, I don’t know.”
Zhang Bolu pondered and said, "Hmm... I don't know what's inside the Purple Moon Treasure either. In that case, exchanging information is fair. It's just a gamble on one's luck."
Ah Xi Ruo suddenly said, "You knew there was such a [East Sea Dragon Palace], why didn't you go and dig it up sooner?"
Testarossa looked over. "I value my time, so I won't waste it on an uncertain ruin. I won't consider opening it unless I know for sure what's inside."
Ah Xiruo frowned and said, "So, if the treasures in [Purple Moon] aren't something you're interested in, wouldn't you leave immediately?"
“You could say that,” Testarossa said calmly. “Anything that I don’t need should be left to those who need it more.”
"...You're actually a pretty nice person?" Ah Xi Ruo frowned and said, "What if something in the [Purple Moon] treasure is something I need? What will you say then?"
Testarossa smiled slightly and said, "There is a method, which is to solve the person who is causing the problem if you can't solve the problem itself."
"That's exactly what I was waiting for!"
The true dragon of Shenzhou suddenly made a move, and in an instant, the golden dragon's dragon energy burst forth!
Testarossa couldn't help but sigh. It wasn't that she was truly at a loss, but... the people from "that place" were here, and she could only think of resolving the situation peacefully.
At the very least, you need to leave yourself enough room to calmly face the sudden attack from [that place]!
You should know that the place that calls itself the "Holy Land" is the most adept at scheming... The "Soul Envoys" they produce are even capable of doing things like selling red potions on the battlefield.
"Deadline".
Testarossa raised her hand and drew a black line, instantly severing the surrounding space... But Ah Xi Ruo's speed in the [+1] state was enough to amaze Testarossa!
"So powerful... Is this Xi Ruo's true power?"
[Xiang Feihu] was shocked by the scene before him. He had initially thought that Xi Ruo was at least a vice-captain, but now it seemed that she was capable of taking down his own captain.
"Hua Mei, where did you find this friend?" Zhang Bolu sighed softly.
"Boss, I..."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Bolu patted Li Huamei on the shoulder, gave her a thumbs up, and said, "This friend is a good friend to befriend!"
[Xiang Feihu] thought for a moment and said, "Boss, don't you want to know about the Old God Era [East Sea Dragon Palace]?"
Without hesitation, Zhang Bolu replied, "I was indeed tempted for a moment. If the East Sea Dragon Palace were right in front of me, I would definitely go in and explore it. But right now, what's before me is the Purple Moon Treasure. Why should I go to such lengths? Oh... our captain of the Black Pearl seems to have come out... When did he leave?"
"【Luo】?" 【Xiang Feihu】was startled and subconsciously looked in the direction of the maid!
When she and Xi Ruo arrived here, they didn't see Captain Luo... At the time, it seems Xi Ruo didn't ask carefully?
……
……
"Owner."
A portal of light opened directly in the dark gold wall, and Boss Luo slowly walked out.
Although there was nothing to worry about in essence, the maid was still carefully examining Boss Luo's entire body... as if to confirm something.
Facing the maid's concerned gaze, Boss Luo simply smiled and said, "It didn't meet my expectations, but... it can still be considered as some gains."
The maid's gaze narrowed slightly... She was curious too, especially since it concerned her only master—the very thing her master feared.
Does it really exist?
"Is Miss Long fighting with someone?" Boss Luo looked over and suddenly smiled, saying, "The development of the [Holy Mark] is going well; it should be entering the next stage soon."
The maid said calmly, "It's mainly because the materials fed to the [Stigmata] are of higher quality."
Feeding white experience materials for 100 times is not the same as feeding orange experience materials for 100 million times... That's why so many people want to become pay-to-win players.
"Master, should I project that woman's fear?" The little-eyed [Mimi] suddenly condensed blood words from a blood mist. "I don't need to serve you for now. My abilities can be fully unleashed!"
As for Ah Xi Ruo repeatedly preventing it from projecting fear... I, Little [Mimi], am very vengeful!
But Boss Luo just glanced at [Maze Will] without any expression.
Little Mimi shuddered instantly, quickly erasing the bloody words that had already appeared, and rewrote: "I meant, the one in the white dress..."
Boss Luo suddenly smiled and said, "You can give it a try, if it works."
—Well, little [MiMi] here, I won't hold back!
No longer needing to serve Boss Luo, my "computing power" is completely unleashed! [Mimi] I'm so strong now that even I'm afraid of myself!
The tiny, fleshy eyes suddenly shot up.
A dark golden "Eye of the Labyrinth" instantly appeared on the dome!
While fighting Ah Xiruo, Testarossa suddenly delivered a heavy blow, temporarily forcing Ah Xiruo back, but then stopped... Her face darkened slightly, and a faint gray mist began to emanate from her body!
Nightmare energy...
Testarossa frowned, her gaze scanning her surroundings like radar—instantly, her focus, like an eagle's eye, locked onto the little fleshy eyeball, "Mimi"!
"The will of the labyrinth..." A cold glint flashed in Testarossa's eyes, and in an instant, her deep red pupils became as dazzling as jewels. "It's just a rudimentary [Super Artifact], yet you dare to project my fear... Your rank is not high enough!"
—【Eternal Divine Art】·【Lord of the Dead】·Black Flame Nuclear Strike!
A fireball wreathed in black flames, like a shooting star, instantly appeared above Testarossa!
The true dragon of Shenzhou held her breath... Even she felt a threat to her soul from the black flames, and the warning from the [Holy Mark] was ringing out frantically!
Could it be... that the [Radiant King] was defeated by this power—the divine magic of "Your Highness"?
At the same time, the huge dark golden pupil in the air was instantly covered by a black flame... Little [Mimi] was immediately terrified!
The black flame core was already falling directly towards it!
—Will I die?!
Without saying a word, Little Mimi went crazy and started throwing ashes at Boss Luo—just like a dog instinctively running back to its owner after being frightened.
At the same time, almost instinctively, Ah Xi Ruo transformed into a beam of light and instantly appeared between the eyeball and Boss Luo—she knew nothing could hurt that scoundrel, but… her body reacted faster than she could.
As for what will happen to this strange ball of flesh, that's not within Ah Xi Ruo's consideration!
Little Mimi was instantly alarmed. This wretched guy had hindered her time and time again!
The black flaming core has already...
That's too late……
The Will of the Labyrinth let out a wail—it... really is a [super artifact]?
Whoa—!
Just then, another black flame appeared out of thin air and blocked Little [Mimi]'s path... The moment the black flame core collided with the black flame!
The two black forces did not collide and produce any earth-shattering power; they simply intertwined strangely like ice and fire, and finally melted away completely!
"The Black Flame Nuclear Strike actually..." Testarossa's gaze narrowed slightly.
The maid appeared silently beside Xiao Mimi... but her gaze swept over Ah Xiruo before calmly looking at Testarosa.
She slowly began to speak: "I'm sorry, this is currently private property... Of course, there will be punishment for its reckless behavior later."
Testarossa was silent for a moment before suddenly chuckling, "Although I didn't want to make contact with you too early... it seems that [Fate] doesn't intend to let me go either. However, even the [Mystic Maiden] among you treats me with utmost respect... Are you the new [Soul Envoy] of this era?"
[Mysterious Woman]?
The maid couldn't help but frown slightly.
This era...
"You... are from the previous era?" the maid asked, a rare question from her.
……
—Sure enough, this "Your Highness" is an old monster who has lived since the Old Gods!
The witch, who had been hiding on the edge of the battlefield and secretly stacking a lot of defensive buffs on herself, suddenly realized something!
"Oh, dream... how come another terrifying guy has appeared? Can I really win?"
Xiao Meng blinked, then muttered, "She actually knows about the [Mystic Maiden]..."
"Who is the [Mysterious Woman]?" the witch asked instinctively.
Xiao Meng smiled and said, "A very kind older sister to me."
……
Testarossa smiled calmly at the maid's words and said nothing.
However, the maid immediately shook her head, thought for a moment, and said, "I know, you didn't survive... In this era, you no longer exist."
Testarossa's gaze narrowed slightly.
The maid said calmly, "Someone must have sent you here from the time of the Old Gods."
“As expected of someone from the Holy Land…” Testarossa chuckled lightly, “Your eyes are indeed sharp… You guessed right, I am indeed no longer in this era.”
……
"Not one who survived, not one who survived?!"
Miss Witch gasped... "Your Highness" is a genuine figure from the Old Gods Era, but he was moved back in time, which is why he appears in... the New Gods Era?
What kind of ability could allow one to traverse between the old and new eras of gods?!
