Chapter 1138 - A Message Spanning Over 65 Million Years (1) (1/2)

Upon hearing Mini Bubble Gum’s remark, everyone looked up and followed her gaze. Indeed, there was a fuzzy shadow in the middle of the ice column. As the distance was too far away, Thomas couldn’t see it clearly even with the help of a binoculars. However, this wasn’t a problem for Rhode’s group at all as they quickly spotted the person.

It was a young lady.

She had folded her arms across her chest and closed her eyes as though she were in deep sleep. Her long, light blue hair draped over her shoulders like a pair of wings bundling her entirely. Not only that, but a pitch-black, elegant, and luxurious robe also wrapped around her body. After taking a closer look, one could see a faint blue radiance flickering weakly in front of her in a rhythmic pace like the beatings of a heart. Not only that, but a staff also floated before her. But instead of treating it as a staff, it was more appropriate to see it as a magic wand because it wasn’t as long as a typical staff. On the contrary, it only had the length of a forearm. It was also entirely black which wasn’t conspicuous at all and only Rhode’s group could barely see it. But even so, they sensed a mighty energy exuding from above.

“What a powerful strength.”

At that moment, Erin’s and Lydia’s expressions changed slightly because they detected that the phenomenal energy waves being discharged from the young lady wasn’t anywhere weaker than theirs. Not only that, but the instant they saw the young lady, they also instinctively sensed danger from the bottom of their hearts as though she weren’t just an ordinary young lady at all, but a monster snapping its jaw open and could devour them in one crunch instead!

Who is she?!

“Your Majesty Rhode, please be careful. She is really powerful! And dangerous!”

“I know.”

Upon hearing Lydia’s anxious reminder, Rhode nodded in agreement, at the same time gazing at her and Erin grimly. Frankly, their agitation surprised him. Although he heard from his younger sister that Marybelle was incredibly powerful, he thought that no matter how strong she was, Lydia and Erin could match up against her if they joined hands. But now, they seemed so nervous and it also seemed like women’s instincts were truly accurate. Even though Lydia and Erin didn’t know what the source of energy for Marybelle was, they instinctively detected that she wasn’t one whom they could rival alone, which explained why they were so cautious. However, since Rhode had deduced Marybelle’s true identity, he asked cautiously in his mind to confirm his answer.

“Is that her?”

“Yes… Big Brother… She is… Marybelle.”

His younger sister’s voice shook. It could be seen that she was experiencing some complicated emotions. Rhode could empathize with her feelings since Marybelle had left his younger sister for at least 65 million years. It was a long period of time and she was also one of her most important subordinates. Not to mention, the relationship between Marybelle and her was far closer than with other ordinary subordinates. Rhode’s younger sister was the creator, guardian, and leader of the deity wardens. Even though he couldn’t understand her feelings fully, he genuinely and instantly empathized with her intricate feelings through her trembling voice.

But despite the emotions involved, Rhode continued to size up the situation cautiously. Although the ice-sealed young lady seemed to be asleep and could wake up anytime, he couldn’t imagine her having the chance to revive. It was 65,000,000 years, not 6,500 years nor 650 years. Of course, Rhode also had Karin under him who was similar to Marybelle. As one of the Void Dragon’s followers, Karin escaped to the rescue cabin in the face of the disastrous Chaos invasion. But unsure if her luck was horrible or Rhode’s ‘unlucky looting aura’ came into effect, the rescue cabin was damaged and she died in it. In the end, Rhode had to use his ability as a Spirit Swordsman to finally resummon her.

Another similar case was Alice. But in her case, she was already prepared for the situation, so she had separated her soul and body beforehand. However, Marybelle was different. She was sealed in the thick ice layer and what exactly was the reason behind it? No one knew. But Rhode knew that this must be related to some odd reasons. If not, based on the ecosphere of the Cretaceous Period, even all dinosaurs on Earth gathered in one place wouldn’t be able to compete with one finger of Marybelle’s. However, the cruel scenes of battle before they were frozen into ice were clearly showcased to Rhode. This proved that not only did Marybelle and her subjects get into a battle, but they were also thrashed and the enemies had also reached the center and core of this plaza!

So it was either that Earth was entirely a different existence from Rhode’s knowledge, or something must have happened which led to this consequence. And now, it seemed like the latter was much more possible because if it were the former, it wouldn’t make sense at all. Even though the entire situation wasn’t logical anyway, sometimes one still had to consider the power of science, wasn’t it?

At this thought, Rhode focused his attention and strode up the steps of the pyramid.

Whoosh…!

However, as soon as Rhode’s group stepped onto the stairs, a powerful force emerged out of nowhere and transformed into a strong tornado. The cold, blustering gales held them down like an invisible, gigantic hand, forcing their steps back.

What’s going on?

Rhode puckered his brows and glanced to the sides, while Erin and Lydia grimaced. They clutched their swords and gazed cautiously ahead, anxious that something would rush out of nowhere and attack them. However, the powerful winds simply kept them from advancing and as soon as they stepped away from the pyramid, the winds disappeared completely.

“Try again.”

Rhode said, gesturing to Erin and Lydia. Then, he emanated a glaring spiritual radiance from his body. At the same time, Erin and Lydia also exuded a silver-whitish and golden brilliance respectively. The trio dashed ahead this time, shuttling toward the pyramid in three trails of light like fast-moving meteors.

Whoosh…!

The instant the trio entered the pyramid, the violent tornado erupted again, spiraling around the edge of the pyramid like a devoted guard keeping everything out. But facing this extent of wind, the trio weren’t fazed at all. They exchanged looks with one another and brandished their blades forward. The powerful and razor-sharp blade airflows broke apart the tornado that had engulfed the entire pyramid!

Just one more step and they could pass through this obstacle.

But…
