Chapter 382 The 6th Seal
The Sixth Seal was undone.
More memories surged in, even more than those received earlier, leaving one somewhat bewildered and at a loss.
Karl suddenly felt that he had a very, very long dream.
And that dream was so prolonged that it gave him the illusion of having lived again.
In the dream, Karl’s name was Shen Ling, and he lived in an ordinary city, merely an ordinary person, inheriting the family-owned coffee shop and becoming its owner.
That life was also very simple, he had an ordinary lover, ordinary children, from childhood to youth to old age, and finally departed this world simply on a sickbed.
Only, the most terrifying thing was that such a life seemed to have been lived more than once.
It felt like hundreds, thousands, or even countless times… each life almost the same, and even if there were differences, there were no major changes on the whole.
Ordinary, happy, simple lives, a dream.
The dream kept recurring, like “reincarnation,” and perhaps it was some kind of terrible “prison”.
“Eh?”
“So ‘reincarnation’ can no longer trap you?”
He suddenly appeared in the coffee shop and heard a young man’s voice, abruptly looking up.
“…”
Karl breathed deeply, trying to gaze at the man in the shadows, finding him holding a cup of coffee, with a face that seemed to be his own! Find adventures at empire
“This is troublesome, can’t you just sleep for countless more years?” the man said and then set down the coffee cup.
“I will make you fall asleep again.”
The moment the coffee cup was set down, everything changed dramatically.
In a daze, Karl seemed again to see a planet rapidly expanding, and in an instant, it started to destruct, collapsing and exploding massively, and then he saw countless billions of galaxies, one after another, collapsing, perishing.
Soon his vision expanded further, and he saw the boundless river of time, countless bubbles representing universes floating within it.
And everything was rushing towards him, gradually moving toward the ultimate disillusionment, becoming completely void.
Meeting the end.
In a daze, Karl suddenly faced a question of self-identity.
Am I really the transmigrator Shen Ling?
Or am I, in fact…
Karl felt his thoughts gradually blurring, “self” as if about to disappear, as if recalling the most crucial thing would lead to terrifying consequences!
Suddenly, he heard an insignificant voice.
“Oh great Lord of the Lost! Awake!”
“The Fischer family always remembers our covenant with you, we beg for your return!”
Fischer…
Such a familiar name…
That insignificant voice pulled “self” back.
As if it were an anchor.
He pondered silently for a long time, in countless dreams, he had never heard the name Fischer, but why did it feel so familiar?
Karl vaguely felt, that Fischer was very important to him, and more and more memories of just a few decades flooded back.
“I have remembered Fischer now.”
Perhaps it’s not that important.
Because even without Fischer’s help, after thousands of years, it was very likely that others would make contact with him again, since time is an infinite river, and in theory, an immortal soul would eventually break free.
But, Karl did not want Fischer to perish.
“Once, I made a promise to grant the Fischer family great power, as grace for their aid in my complete revival.”
“This covenant… needs to be fulfilled by me.”
“Otherwise, ‘my’ very essence will cease to exist…”
——
Lilian raised her head, trembling all over.
“You have finally awakened!”
Her gaze seemed to pierce through the Fischer Manor, reaching up into the sky.
The clouds tumbled and lightning intertwined, the power of Nature performed a magnificent dance under the will of the deity, proclaiming to the world the return of this ancient Guardian.
A violent black radiance exploded in the heavens, causing the same phenomenon to occur all over the world.
All the beings in the Claud World felt this soul-shaking force, be they the eagles soaring across the sky, the behemoths lurking in the deep sea, or the intelligent humans, all raised their heads towards the black light that seemed to touch the depths of their hearts, filled with reverence.
——
Karl awoke.
The first thing he sensed was that Nasir City had been turned upside down, and he also felt many “Path of Divine Sacrifice” Extraordinary Exponents praying.
What he realized next was that he had gained two new powers.
So that was it.
Karl quickly found that one of the powers had been bestowed upon him by the Tranquility Songster.
By now, he could confidently affirm that the Tranquility Songster who had descended had no malice towards “himself” and had even made his avatar willingly devour it immediately after arriving.
Such vast Spiritual Power not only allowed him to break through The Sixth Seal directly but also granted him a kind of Authority related to the “soul.”
“But why do I feel a chill down my spine…”
Soon, he accepted a portion of the sacrifices of the devout, using the Power of Authority of “Miracle” to quell the chaos.
Looking at the city ravaged by natural disasters, Noah took a deep breath while kneeling, deeply convinced in his heart that Nasir City would be destroyed by the power of the Holy Grail, and although he had paid a great price and would become mentally fragmented, it was all worth it!
“Just to erase you all…”
Suddenly, he watched in utmost astonishment as the furious elements of wind, lightning, water, and fire returned to normal in a brief span, as if nothing had happened.
“How is this possible, this is simply impossible! Those ‘elves’ in the Holy Grail are the mysterious representatives of Nature, not even a Heavenly Enlightenment powerful expert can easily contend with them! Those are double-digit Forbidden rare artifacts!”
With horror and fear, Noah started to fly, his strength greatly diminished yet still capable of flight, in a desperate and disheveled plight, he almost frantically ran toward Nasir City.
Karl watched coldly, making no move to stop him.
After waking up, he could vaguely see Noah’s “Line of Fate,” although not very far into the future, but in fact, there was no need to see that far.
That man was bound to die soon, so there was no need for intervention.
“God!”
Christine, sitting in a wheelchair, was stunned for a moment, then shouted excitedly:
“He has awakened!”
The members of the Nasir City’s Dawn Church quickly realized what had happened.
Many fell to their knees, hands clasped together, eyes twinkling with tears, endless reverence for God manifested, showing their gratitude.
Moreover, believers hugged each other tightly, passing warmth and strength among themselves. They knew that this moment was not only the awakening of the deity but also the rebirth of the faith in their hearts. Tears became the tie of their emotions, linking the hearts of every member of the Dawn Church together, bathing together in the grace of the deity.
Indescribable excitement surged in their hearts, like a parched land meeting sweet rain, or like a lost sailor finally seeing a lighthouse. Ten years of waiting and yearning turned to tears at this moment, silently sliding down their cheeks.
Every member of the Dawn Church firmly believed that the awakening of God heralded new hope and possibilities.
“A Miracle!”
“We survived!”
The citizens of Nasir City cheered aloud, their voices shaking with sobs, tears and smiles intermingling on their faces.
“Silver Poet” had no intention of running away; she believed that even if the alchemical puppet’s body was destroyed, it wouldn’t matter much.
However, after Karl absorbed part of the lifespans of the devout, chains materialized out of thin air and instantly seized the “Silver Poet’s” body.
He then, using the Authority of “soul,” sensed the position of “Silver Poet’s” true self through the alchemical puppet’s body.
So that was it.
“Silver Poet” had always been cautious. Her true self wasn’t even in Cyart, but in a remote small town in the Lorne Empire, always living under the guise of an ordinary person, earning a living by selling food.
The real her controlled the alchemical puppet from a great distance every day, and only when it was necessary to fight would she use a spell to temporarily descend her consciousness into the alchemical puppet, while her body would fall into a temporary sleep.
As far as the distant “Silver Poet” was concerned, destroying the alchemical puppet only meant needing a replacement; there would be no substantial loss.
However, physical space meant nothing to Karl.
With the Authority of “soul,” he grasped the “Silver Poet’s” soul in an instant and devoured it without hesitation.
Despite her desperate struggles, she still became Karl’s nourishment, without the slightest chance to resist.
“Finally, I’ve dealt with you…”
Then, using the new power he obtained after unlocking The Sixth Seal, he materialized a giant black monolith out of the air, towering over the city of Nasir, and in the next moment, he inscribed the “Silver Poet’s” soul as burning red text upon it.
