Chapter 119 The Truth About Clara
As the fluctuations constantly shifted and changed, Luo Dezhi felt as if he were being violently shaken up and down in an elevator.
Dizziness?
It's not really true.
But ultimately, if it's like an elevator—then it must have a door, and it must be possible to open the door.
In that instant, a fleeting blue light flashed in Rhodes' eyes, like a cunning elf, about to disappear in that brief moment—
"open."
bump!!!
With a thud, Rod seized the moment and smashed the stone door open with a single punch!
At that moment, the countless blue threads on the four doors snapped instantly, disintegrating like deflated balloons.
Boom boom boom—
The space began to tremble, dust flew up, and the ground shook, making it impossible for Rhodes and the others to stand steadily above.
Furthermore, the instant the giant stone gate was smashed open, a storm-like substance surged forth, beginning to slice through Rhodes and his companions' bodies like sharp blades.
"Clara, let's go."
Rhodes didn't bother to think too much. His sharp eyes tightened, and he used his body to block the sharp winds in front of him.
His physique had been further enhanced after killing the monster that had just leveled up four times, and with the rapid recovery effect of his skills, this level of wind was nothing to him.
He grabbed Clara's arm and leaped into the extended space in front of him.
Clara stood behind Rhodes, stunned, feeling her arm being gripped, her mind inexplicably dazed.
He was just looking wary a moment ago—but now he's instinctively protecting her behind him.
What a gentle person she is.
[Two-sided space]
It was pretty much exactly what Rhodes had guessed.
After entering correctly from all four directions, they eventually arrived at a place where only the [East Gate] and [West Gate] remained.
:
space.
The overall space is based on a bronze-green tone, but this time it is no longer vast and empty.
Because, what appeared before Rhodes and his companions were twelve statues.
The twelve statues are located at the front of the space, exuding a sacred aura. The statues have delicate and smooth lines and are over ten meters tall, seemingly reaching the sky.
Rhodes and Clara, standing beneath the statue, were like ants, being looked down upon by the statue.
Meanwhile, in the center of the statue, there is a blue Rubik's Cube, which seems to activate something when touched.
Seeing this, Rhodes pondered, "No matter how the Deep Sea God uses Carmen's space to create a chaotic domain, it is still essentially using the original Carmen's world. Therefore, this is Carmen's [Forgotten Space]."
"The Twelve Statues — It's actually a world that includes statues of gods. No wonder it's called [Carmen]."
"6
"But Carmen is something for training, so these twelve statues are probably for activating and then challenging others to obtain rewards."
Rod glanced at the statues on the left; these idols were not made up.
Although the face was still somewhat blurred, the first statue of the Dragon God, with its carved stripes and the Dragon God's unique arrogant dragon eyes, was vividly displayed.
The second [Star God] is clearly a statue of the previous [Star God], Lilith's master.
Rhodes had seen this statue before when he and Lilith were worshipping together.
Then, glancing over the others, he found no problems with the other deities either.
But when Rhodes glanced at the [God of the Deep Sea], he was slightly taken aback.
Upon realizing what was happening, Rhodes' face froze completely, and his body stiffened.
"this----?"
The statue of the sea god is sculpted with exquisite detail.
She is the ocean overlord who transformed from a whale into a human body. The statue fully embodies her vastness and also showcases the beauty of her body.
She has an elegant, natural curve, pretty, fair skin, and a face as smooth as cream.
Although they were just statues, these things seemed to come alive and rushed into Rhodes's eyes.
But these are not the key points —
Her blue, fish-like, yet incredibly deep eyes instantly made Rhodes tense.
Yes, it's because his eyes are in such bad condition that he looks so dazed.
Because he was very good at reading eyes, just like when he first saw Ivina, he immediately thought that Ivina was related to Cecilia. And the moment he saw this statue, he instantly glanced at the girl next to him—Clara.
"Um----?"
Clara was still speechless, stunned by the statues.
However, the moment Rhodes looked at her, she asked obediently and with a hint of confusion, "What's wrong, Rhodes?"
Rhodes gazed into the girl's eyes, then glanced at the eyes of the Deep Sea God.
It's so similar, so incredibly similar.
Even based solely on feedback from the statue, these eyes show at least an 80% similarity.
Their divine and serene states are almost identical.
Regardless, a strange and absurd idea popped into Rhodes' mind.
Lilith said something before he entered the instance—
The Deep Sea God could not possibly be affected by a mere pollution event that caused it to ascend six times; the fundamental problem lies within the Deep Sea God itself.
So here comes a simple question.
If one has lost their memory, forgotten their combat skills, and is left with only instincts—then wouldn't it be reasonable for the Deep Sea God to be unable to resist pollution?
The more Rhodes thought about it, the faster his breathing quickened, and the more profound his expression became as he looked at Clara.
After some thought, Rhodes finally tried to probe, "Clara, have you ever heard of a certain name?"
"Name? I don't know anything about it right now." Clara shook her head gently.
Rhodes ignored her denial, simply gazing at her before saying, "Charlotte Sinclair, does that name ring a bell?"
"————" Clara's pupils suddenly began to freeze.
The name pierced her mind like a chaotic mess.
"Charlotte?"
Her mind was in complete disarray, and her breathing became increasingly erratic.
Can----
I just can't remember anything.
The name is so familiar, and it should feel like something very clear and distinct.
She frowned: "Perhaps, there is—"
"————" Rod remained silent.
Is this all the reaction is?
"Perhaps" is a matter of course.
After all, no marine species could possibly be unaware of the name of the Deep Sea God.
Therefore, Clara's statement of "maybe" is completely insufficient to prove that she and Charlotte have a definite relationship.
"What impression do you have of that statue? This might be related to your identity."
Rhodes stretched out his hand and pointed to the sixth statue—the [God of the Deep Sea].
Clara, naturally with a hint of doubt, looked in the direction Rhodes was pointing.
"ah."
Clara's pupils completely lost focus.
His body seemed to have lost all strength, and he collapsed weakly to his knees on the ground.
It was as if a fog had enveloped her mind and soul, leaving her unable to grasp anything.
Yes, my whole body was limp, as if I had lost all my bones, and my body felt like a puppet doll.
Her thin lips murmured, "Deep Sea God, Deep Sea God—?"
The pain in my head intensified, and my mind began to become confused due to the colic.
But at that moment, Clara felt the statue begin to move.
"Rhodes, the statue is moving! He's moving—!"
Clara uttered these words weakly, her lips trembling.
"I know."
Rhodes shielded Clara behind him with his own body.
Clara was not hallucinating.
The idol—it really started to move.
Just a moment ago, when Clara and the statue locked eyes, the entire space seemed to be activated, beginning to shimmer with an incomparably sacred and dazzling golden light.
Yes, the golden beam of light, like a divine force, turned the blue Rubik's Cube in front of it crimson.
At that moment, a voice entered Rhodes' ears.
God will send down trials, granting the brave the strength of their ancestors.
[Believers of the God of Soul Evolution—your opponent is a soul deity who ascended four times to a higher level in ancient times.]
After you defeat him, you can obtain his divine remains and inherit his power.
"As expected, it's a testing space." Rhodes waved his hand and once again conjured the Elf Dragon Sword, his eyes calmly fixed on the front.
Clara doesn't seem to have activated the corresponding [Assessment], why is that?
Moreover, in theory, this kind of test requires touching the Rubik's Cube in the center to activate it, but it was activated directly in this case.
Was it because Clara made eye contact with the deep-sea statue? Or because she had just pointed a finger at the statue?
The situation was too chaotic, just like this chaotic space itself. Clara's identity and the rules of the space were all in disarray.
"Since it's chaotic, then we don't need to worry about anything."
"I'll prioritize defeating the enemy in front of me first, since defeating him will give me a divine relic that has been upgraded four times to a higher rank, which I can then fuse with."
Rhodes stared at the [Soul Hero] that was beginning to coalesce in front of him.
In that instant, the space automatically summoned a powerful being who had undergone four ascensions from ancient times.
A small, boyish body began to form from points of light, and with a gentle wave of his hand, a wooden stick appeared.
His body was pure white, and even the clothes he wore were spotless white, as clean and bright as if there were no dust.
The boy looked to be only about fourteen years old, with a height of only 1.6 meters and a slender build.
But the moment he opened his eyes, Rhodes sensed a powerful soul aura—it was very strong.
Moreover, his eyes, like Rhodes', were a deep, brilliant purple amethyst, meaning that this powerful being of the Soul God Seed was also royalty.
That's why Rod would never be careless.
After all, the royal family of the Soul God Seed must possess quite high inherited skills.
"Is it a senior?" Rhodes gently raised his longsword, but it wasn't exactly a gesture of reverence.
After all, the boy in front of them died at the age of sixteen and left behind divine remains, so he must have no descendants.
So Rod doesn't need to worry about things like killing his great-great-great-grandfather.
"Young man," the boy's clear voice rang out, his purple eyes blinking slightly, "it is you who has come to obtain my power."
"Although it was a lucky accident, please." Rod greeted the senior colleague politely.
After all, it's ridiculous for royalty to die so young—who knows if they were driven mad or died for their country?
If it's the latter, then not showing any respect would be a bit like being an animal.
"My name is Lawns Chivenlance."
"Rod Chivenlance."
"Okay, sure."
Without saying much, Lawns simply extended his hand, like a gloomy little boy.
Suddenly, the stick-like object burst forth with a dazzling golden light and shot through like an infinitely extending beam of light!
Like scorching sunlight, it baked the ground while directly facing Rhodes!
The beam of light then split into countless small diamond-shaped blocks beside Lawns, and then traveled through them!
It flickered like a sacred, legendary array, unleashing boundless energy.
Rhodes' pupils narrowed.
"Sacred Light of the Soul"
He instantly recognized the skill, which could only be used after six upgrades.
There was a mistake.
This is not someone who died after ascending four times, but a powerful member of the clan who left behind a legacy of ascending four times.
In other words, his appearance was also created by himself—what the heck? Is he a shota fetishist, or is he obsessed with himself?
However, Rhodes didn't have much time to think, because he had to do his best to withstand the powerful shockwave.
With the elven dragon sword held up like a shield in front of him, Rhodes's steps were as solid as a rock, directly blocking the impact of the converging pillar of light!
"No matter how strong a skill is, it will always be lacking when limited to the power of four upgrades."
Moreover, the Holy Light has no effect on mental damage.
Rhodes' eyes were cold as he activated the power of the Elf Dragon Sword, directly unleashing a burst of light!
At the same time, [Soul Shock] was activated in an instant.
A torrent of water, like the sound of a great bell, began to spread from between Rhodes's eyebrows and flowed directly toward Launes.
Strangely, although the soul shockwave did indeed strike Launes, Launes did not show the slightest sign of pain.
He remained calm and composed, continuing to swing his long staff, rotating all the beams of light to bombard Rhodes.
"What does that mean?"
It was rare for Rhodes to utter these three words during a battle.
But Launes' nonchalant expression really shocked him.
Rhodes was forced to abandon his offensive opportunity and continue to use the Elf Dragon Sword to defend against the bombardment beam of light.
"My soul has been tormented countless times, so this level—is meaningless," Lawns said calmly in a neutral voice.
"I see. So, if it's damage to the soul—would it affect you, senior?"
Rhodes narrowed his eyes and instantly activated the skill [Power of Life].
In an instant, countless green plants surged wildly from the ground, and the material, like towering trees, covered the entire space!
Following the trail of vegetation, Rhodes charged directly toward Launes!
A long-absent flicker of emotion appeared in Lawrence's eyes.
"This is... a skill of the Soul God Seed?" he asked, sounding slightly puzzled.
As the first generation of royalty born into the Soul God lineage, he couldn't possibly be unaware of the sheer number of skills bestowed by the Soul God.
This child has mutated?
No, the most important thing is what he just said?
Soul damage?
How could someone who has been promoted four times possibly have the ability to damage their soul?
A slight surprise arose in the ancestor's heart.
