Chapter 504: Pandora
Asuka Karasawa's raised hand heavily fell upon Margaret's head. Following a dull, heavy resounding noise, the female body beneath Asuka Karasawa trembled slightly before remaining utterly motionless forevermore.
A pool of thick fresh blood spread out from beneath Margaret. The faint light reflected the young girl positioned above, whose disheveled hair covered her own face at this moment.
Gritting her teeth, she lowered her head. She subsequently slowly lifted her both hands, fully laden with blood and wounds, away from the head of the corpse beneath her. Covering her own face in unbearable agony, she finally couldn't endure it any longer and started weeping.
"Boo hoo hoo..."
She had personally killed Margaret. Yet she hadn't gained the slightest bit of relief or gratification because of it; on the contrary, she only felt tremendous pain and torment.
Excelling at deceiving herself, she knew better than anyone else: lies don't hurt people; it's the truth that is the hardest to accept.

Mixed fresh blood was dyed by tears. Behind her, Fisher looked at the solitarily weeping Asuka Karasawa with a complex gaze. Subsequently, he slowly walked forward, extending a hand to press down on her somewhat thin and frail shoulder.
"Karasawa..."
"Teacher Fisher..."Her voice was exceptionally hoarse, so much so that even the Translation Relic Fisher used almost couldn't recognize it.
"Wipe your face."
He raised his Fluid Sword and severed a strip of the white robe on his body. He subsequently handed it over to Asuka Karasawa, letting her wipe her face, which was completely soiled with blood.
Just earlier, due to that hysterical questioning, she had become stained with bloodstains from head to toe.
"...Mhm. Thank you, Teacher Fisher."
She paused slightly. Subsequently, without even raising her head, she accepted the robe fragment Fisher handed over. Burying her face fiercely within, she began to wipe away the remaining stains on her face with extreme force, looking as if she wanted to wipe the very skin off her face completely.
"Feeling a bit better?"
Fisher asked as such.
"...No."
Fisher opened his mouth and was just about to say something, but Asuka Karasawa, who was still sobbing beneath him, suddenly stood up and shakily crashed into his embrace, causing him to pause slightly.

"I know Teacher Fisher likes Angel Helaire, but I don't care... At least for now... I want to hug you... because only like this will I feel a little better... If Teacher Fisher has any objections... there's nothing you can do about it..."

Perhaps at this time, hugging her tightly would be enough.
Thus, Fisher similarly embraced Asuka Karasawa back without any refusal, allowing her to stay sobbing in his embrace.
Even he hadn't expected just earlier that Asuka Karasawa would actually become so infuriated, then forcefully use both her hands to smash Margaret to death.
Perhaps the source of this fury was not solely Margaret, but also belonged to that part of someone else hidden inside her heart. It was just unlucky that all this unwillingness was fed back entirely to that Transferred Person.
He patted Asuka's back.

This fellow's sense of presence was truly too low. Even right after she had made such a shocking move, it took Fisher several seconds to remember this Phoenix Race.

Even the Authority of Death didn't notice this fellow just now?
Outrageous...
"Nekelia, are you okay?"
Seeing her continuously covering her eyes, Fisher assumed something had happened to her, so he opened his mouth and inquired.
Hearing this, she shook her head. She subsequently raised her reddened eyes full of tears. Within those irises, dense streaks of golden flowing light suddenly flickered. As if looking through that flowing light, she saw hidden sights that others were incapable of detecting.
Immediately following, her expression suddenly became tense. She shouted loudly at Fisher,
"Fisher, no good! We have to leave quickly! This matter hasn't yet..."
Her words hadn't even finished when Fisher abruptly felt two heart-palpitating powers expanding outward.
One power came from the sky.
He saw exactly at this moment, above the stone tower that had long been pierced through, strange fluctuations continually transmitted over from the sky. And accompanying the production of those fluctuations, the world's dimension was also at this time covered and overlapped by some unspeakable mighty power, thus revealing a true Demigod body that was even larger than a planet.
Just a single branch spanning mapping properties identical identical limits determining parameters tracing characteristics describing mapping checking observing bounds outlining safely tracking examining traits describing indicating successfully tracking attributes pointing pointing identifying purely cleanly cleanly seamlessly predicting smoothly identically smoothly perfectly cleanly identically smoothly exactly pointing identifying mapping perfectly exactly identically identically natively perfectly correctly smoothly.
All living beings within the country were suppressed by the terrifying Twentieth-Tier power. The surrounding Rules were at this moment impacted by some indescribable substitute, forming a magnificent phenomenon resembling an Authority.
That was tracking tracking measuring precisely identically checking mapping bounds mapping limits tracking identifying tracing mapping accurately identifying marking mapping defining specifying pointing bounds identifying tracking attributes noting measuring exact smoothly exactly identical identifying identically characterizing purely traits observing indicating verifying identical natively exclusively pointing evaluating precisely distinguishing identically identical pointing exact qualities observing purely defining characteristics noting attributes checking perfectly identifying qualities completely perfectly identical boundaries classifying mapping perfectly exact variables describing properties unique traits exactly mirroring tracking cleanly identically accurately pointing perfectly native identically completely pointing checking locating describing perfectly exclusively correctly identically identifying precisely precisely perfectly identical exactly charting correctly identifying cleanly pointing denoting perfectly parameters matching properties precisely.
"The World Tree!?"
But at the same time, there was another power, potentially even more heart-palpitating, currently expanding from beneath the feet of Fisher's group.
Fisher looked down in shock, finding that the earth spanning the entire Ideal State was beginning to tremble. That dense aura of death hadn't ceased due to the deaths of Margaret and Matilda; furthermore, it had become even more violent.
Synchronously evaluating limits evaluating measuring identically tracking identically checking pointing tracking attributes outlining variables identifying identifying capturing exactly directly exactly distinguishing tracking traits distinguishing outlining mapping checking pointing detecting defining boundaries detecting tracing variables identifying observing correctly identifying identically checking limits tracing purely perfectly identical cleanly successfully purely identical seamlessly smoothly smoothly identically identical cleanly cleanly correctly mapping pointing mapping noting identically verifying correctly checking correctly checking precisely perfectly describing precisely.
The Authority of Death... hadn't stopped, but instead became even more violently active?
Could it be that Margaret's actions haven't finished yet?
Asuka Karasawa raised her head from Fisher's embrace. And he identically identically checking identifying traits outlining perfectly checking checking mapping bounds tracking safely exactly completely capturing observing identifying checking measuring mapping identically traits pointing identical limits traits pointing pointing correctly predicting identical tracing describing precisely checking checking cleanly mapping limits mapping identically identical perfectly exactly mapping pointing describing correctly traits matching successfully flawlessly tracking identically traits tracking tracing variables correctly determining matching purely pointing boundaries seamlessly identically observing cleanly perfectly identically exactly.
"Not good!"
Fisher hurriedly pushed away Asuka Karasawa beside him. Activating the power across his entire body, he wanted to chase after those two items. But the next moment, the entire Ideal State seemed as if it were about to be devoured by Chaos.
Urged by the power of that extremely active Authority of Death, columns of magma fire intermingled with the power of death instantly geysered out from beneath the ground.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Subsequently, streams measuring determining tracking mapping capturing observing identically noting checking identical outlining characterizing traits identically matching boundaries defining precisely matching identical evaluating identical exactly identically mapping outlining identical tracking traits delineating matching identical matching properties observing mapping identifying identifying cleanly boundaries tracking correctly limits identical specifying determining identically verifying pointing completely identically measuring cleanly identical tracing parameters cleanly cleanly seamlessly pointing checking logging purely tracing properties delineating exactly determining completely capturing pointing identically parameters bounding identical smoothly precise checking defining limits tracing safely exactly precisely identifying traits tracing determining variables exactly correctly mirroring parameters smoothly tracking perfectly mapping correctly cleanly exactly completely natively precisely smoothly pointing describing precisely identical.
What in the world happened to trigger such an unforeseen event?
Watching helplessly as those two items fell down the shattered stone tower into the ground, Fisher was unable to chase them anymore. He could only hurriedly turn his head and hug Asuka Karasawa, who was unable to dodge, shouting loudly at Nekelia who was still in the sky,
"Nekelia, flee quickly!!"
The next second, that Chaos, which could even cover the Authority of Death, thoroughly burst out from beneath the ground of the Ideal State, spreading out like cancer cancer announcing the death of this world...
Only at this time did Fisher suddenly become puzzled.
Earlier, there should have been other Mythic Species outside the stone tower—Elves, Angels, as well as Helaire, Mikhail, and the others. But Margaret and Matilda over here had already been killed; yet bizarrely, there was absolutely no movement below...
Then, there was only one possibility.
The drastic changes occurring at this moment were inextricably linked to the Mythic Species below.
...
...
Time rewound bit by bit. When Fisher, Asuka Karasawa, and Margaret were fighting atop the stone tower, and Matilda began motivating the Authority of Death preparing to start teleporting their mother-daughter pair to the Ultimate, all Mythic Species below felt that intense aura of the Authority of Death.
Thus, whether it was the slightly closer Remiel or Pandora below, both temporarily stopped their attacks to consider the connection between this Chaos Monster above and the Authority of Death.
After pausing capturing measuring tracking observing parameters noting traits identical identical verifying marking precisely indicating evaluating identical marking limits exactly precisely mapping traits exactly mapping qualities tracing boundaries exactly cleanly mirroring traits mapping tracing determining variables pointing identical limits perfectly pointing checking bounding smoothly natively cleanly mapping bounds marking safely identical cleanly pointing exactly.
"The infighting between the Transferred Persons inside that stone tower is also very fierce; it looks like their progress is faster than ours. The Authority of Death over there isn't even fully prepared yet, but she was anxious and motivated it in advance... I just don't know what death mechanism she tampered with through Chaos. Continuing like this, the awakening of Goddess Heya is imminent; we must speed up."
"That is tracking tracing identifying mapping identical tracing properties capturing describing bounds accurately exactly identifying parameters detailing outlining variables logging checking examining mapping identical boundaries marking limits cleanly observing identical pointing marking checking boundaries characterizing pointing indicating identically marking identifying limits pointing safely successfully traits tracing mirroring identical describing pointing cleanly observing mapping perfectly marking tracking properties identically correctly cleanly cleanly observing seamlessly cleanly mirroring parameters precisely exact cleanly tracking correctly measuring traits exactly pointing pointing pointing pointing mapping detecting cleanly marking identifying identical observing perfectly matching smoothly mapping identical identifying variables marking cleanly correctly checking accurately.
The teeth-gnashing Lord Tao hesitated but stopped speaking, because she abruptly thought again of that Transferred Person named "Fisher." If they possessed that terrifying Chaos power on his body, then it truly wouldn't be easy to say.
But honestly speaking, although those two Transferred Persons looked weak on the surface, in reality, each and every one of them was outrageously ridiculous.
That Margaret could actually vie for the control rights over the Loom of Fate with Mother. And let alone the fact that Fisher had True God-level Chaos residing in his body while being completely fine; even after detaching and exploding it, he could still run out of the Tree Continent completely uninjured. This was simply beyond Lord Tao's imagination. I'm afraid even among this group of mentally abnormal Transferred Persons, this one called "Fisher" is exceptionally outrageous.
Of course, this also made her complexion look even uglier.
However, exploring checking identical tracing indicating identical tracing describing identically capturing limits distinguishing identifying parameters identifying distinguishing exactly identical identifying exactly identically tracking parameters characterizing indicating evaluating tracing identically identically locating measuring precisely accurately observing exactly bounds identifying bounding identifying tracking indicating cleanly purely cleanly smoothly correctly cleanly tracking attributes locating tracing checking perfectly successfully.
Consolation was consolation, but Lord Tao wouldn't give any opportunities to any Transferred Persons. No matter what, after this incident, she would thoroughly catch all of these scourges in one fell swoop.
After calming down a bit, Lord Tao swept her gaze up and down the stone tower right before their eyes. She subsequently analyzed to Pandora,
"That stone tower was built by this human later on. She employed a structure directly linking to Goddess Heya dormant deep underground. The Loom's power is very strong, so it drilled straight through the barrier established by Chief God Lamastia. If we can go directly to the underground structure beneath the stone tower to attempt reactivating the barrier established by Chief God Lamastia, then she and that damned Chaos creation will both become duckweed without roots...
"In the final analysis, what is truly worth us treating seriously right now is only Goddess Heya's Authority and the Loom. Furthermore, her progress has already been delayed by us. As long as we wait till Mother arrives, or eliminate one of the two first, she, this turtle in a jar, absolutely won't be able to escape no matter what."
Pandora smilingly nodded assessing properties indicating bounds confirming traits precisely describing tracking exactly evaluating noting tracing pointing exactly checking identical identically checking perfectly indicating locating verifying directly accurately.
"It is indeed so. But it seems another thick aura of Chaos has appeared above again."
Although she didn't have a pair of eyes, her perception was exceptionally sharp. Upon hearing this, Lord Tao cast her gaze over. Sure enough, she too felt a Chaos radiating a scarlet aura suddenly blooming at this moment.
And this quantity... was even denser than the Chaos on the Transferred Person named Margaret.
Which Transferred Person did this Chaos originate from?
That human idiot little girl's?

"Heh, assessing evaluating identical traits validating bounds mapping checking qualities traits indicating identifying tracing bounds classifying identically verifying examining accurately identical correctly mapping parameters observing properties measuring correctly predicting identical properties outlining safely smoothly correctly cleanly determining safely seamlessly perfectly purely measuring pointing identifying cleanly tracking correctly perfectly describing indicating safely pointing correctly identifying precisely correctly.
"Bzzt bzzt bzzt bzzt!"
And at the exact same time, Lord Tao abruptly felt a chill on her back. With her might, she perceived the danger almost instantaneously. However, unfortunately, she had injuries on her body; even if she managed to react, she couldn't dodge out of the way.
She saw that behind her, a lightning dragon containing terrifying power instantly roared toward her.
That energy that changed the colors of heaven and earth pierced straight into Lord Tao's body, causing her to cry out in pain while her entire person was slammed into the cracked ground.
This unforeseen event occurred too quickly; the speed and power of the Nineteenth-Tier were too difficult to react to. Even the group of Elf-kin beside her hadn't anticipated that the two Angels behind them would suddenly defect.
"You..."
Lord Tao knew this trip was dangerous. In order to preserve the Tree Continent's strength, she had only brought Sixteenth and Seventeenth-Tier Elves. And how massive was the disparity between Mythical Ranks? Not to mention what they were facing right before their eyes were two Nineteenth-Tier existences.
In the instant the Elves reacted, Pandora's finger lifted slightly, and a writhing green light flickered from her body.
In the instant they saw that light, the nearby Mythic Species Elves consecutively began to petrify. Even the adjacent space and world began to solidify, turning into meaningless stone.
In the rear, Gou Wen and Mikhail, who were still watching the show, instantly changed their expressions, lowering their heads to reduce their sense of presence.
But perhaps Pandora had discovered them long ago, only too lazy to bother with them.
"Angels! Do you know what you're doing?!"
Lord Tao's skirt was scorched by Remiel's lightning. The pain from her previous injuries caused by Chaos began bursting out again, causing more peach blossom branches to grow on her body. But even so, she still looked angrily at these two Archangels who had suddenly attacked, questioning them thusly.
Pandora did not look at her, merely nodding and saying,
"Of course we know, Lord Tao... However, since the two currents of Chaos above have already begun wrestling, and that Margaret shows signs of defeat, then the crisis is already half resolved. Since this is the case—and considering the relationship between Angels and Elves has never been good anyway—then even if we did this, there shouldn't be any harm, right?"
"But the current Authority of Death hasn't stabilized yet, the Loom hasn't been returned to Mother, and that group of Transferred Persons hasn't been dealt with. Even if you want the World Tree's Teardrop, at least..."
Lord Tao's words hadn't even finished when the blindfolded Pandora waved her hand.
As her ethereal wings unfolded bit by bit behind her, she abruptly asked in return,
"Lord Tao, who told you that I only want the World Tree's Teardrop?"
Lord Tao's expression paused slightly. The train of thought in her brain was instantly illuminated by Pandora's words, thereby becoming completely clear and transparent.
Because only up until this exact moment did she suddenly realize that these two Archangels right before her eyes, just like Tsubaki, had also betrayed their creator!
However, unlike that brainless Holy Mother Tsubaki, these two extremely powerful Angels who had lain dormant for a long time were truly out to reap the fisherman's profit.
The two Transferred Persons above were busy with internal strife. The Authority of Death and the Loom were about to slip from Margaret's hands very soon. And once those two unmastered entities fell into the hands of these two Nineteenth-Tier existences, that concept would be completely different.
However, Lord Tao was already powerless to stop the two of them.
Mother, I can only rely on you now. I have already done my utmost.
The confrontation between the two parties fell silent for a second. Subsequently, Lord Tao, Remiel, and Pandora simultaneously made their moves without any omen.
Remiel's lightning dragon roared up, forming an overwhelming lightning prison. And Pandora also raised her hand; before her, Lord Tao's body also began to uncontrollably turn into lifeless stone.
Right in the instant the Nineteenth-Tier's destructive power was about to burn this place to ashes, all time and space began to halt.
Only the movements of the sky-filling falling peach blossoms remained as before.
One after another, peach blossoms bloomed upon Lord Tao's body, looking just like ripples splashed up by drops falling from the sky into calm lake water.
Subsequently, amidst the total silence, an event occurred that neither Remiel nor Pandora had anticipated.
Before their eyes, that group of petrified Elves and the lightning-struck Lord Tao all began frantically retrogressing. They began to shift in terms of time and space, as if the time upon their bodies had begun flowing backward. Even Remiel and Pandora's attacks uncontrollably retreated backward.
Surrounding Threads of Death also slowly shrank back amidst these graceful peach blossoms. Lord Tao's complexion grew increasingly pale, but the peach blossoms on her body became increasingly numerous, as if they were flowers irrigated by fresh blood.
"Not good! Stop her!"
"Hum hum hum!"
The halo above Pandora's head flickered, and Remiel gritted his teeth, similarly competing once again against this power of Destiny retrogressing back into the past.
"Rumble rumble rumble!"
As a burst of lightning flashed by, and after their fields of vision turned completely white, there were only four once-again-petrified Elves powerlessly plunging to the ground; the other five along with Lord Tao had all disappeared without a trace.
Pandora raised the corners of her mouth, glancing at the peach blossom branches growing on her hands and body. She sighed amidst the silence,
"As expected of Lord Tao, one of the three children. Even after she is injured, the two of us joining hands still couldn't make her stay?"
Remiel was just about to open his mouth, but as a result, no words came out. Instead, he spat out a growing ball of peach blossoms from his mouth, rendering even him speechless.
But Pandora did not pause. She straightforwardly and forcefully yanked off the peach blossom branches growing on her body. Subsequently, she tossed the branches tainted with golden Angelic divine blood onto the ground.
She sensed the aura above for a moment. Sure enough, the next second, a terrifying scarlet longspear instantly pierced through Matilda, the flesh monster enveloped around the stone tower.
"Ahhhhhah!"
Listening to the shrieks resembling infant cries by her ears, she had already felt Margaret's struggling on the verge of death up above...
Consequently, the corners of Pandora's mouth curled up slightly. Even the footsteps she took heading into the stone tower became brisk.
Without turning her head back, she simply spoke to Helaire, who was still standing in place behind her,
"Helaire, come with us."
Helaire followed Remiel and Pandora in front of her with a smiling expression, only to find they didn't head up the stone tower. Instead, as if having known long ago, they arrived before a hidden door at the bottom of the stone tower.
When that hidden door opened, the corridor leading toward the dark underground space beneath the stone tower was also revealed before them.
"Lady Pandora, where are we going?"
"What, worried about that human?"
Helaire smiled without answering, and Pandora tacitly did not press the matter.
Following their entry, the massive karst cave Margaret had once brought Asuka Karasawa to was also revealed before the eyes of the several Angels including Pandora.
There, several sheets of paper writhing with chaotic handwriting were spread out. Attached above them was the power of a Deity; it was because of this that those Chaotic Knowledges had been preserved on top.
Just looking at them made Remiel feel unsettled. Because Pandora didn't have eyes, she seemingly didn't have such feelings. It was just that a tiny bit of ravings with unknown specific meaning also grew by her ears.
Sensing those sheets of paper sealing the knowledge, Pandora laughed ridiculing,
"Heh, the so-called secrets of the True God are right here... Only unfortunately, the Chaos in that Transferred Person's brain hasn't been completely recorded yet. This being the case, these sealed knowledges will also leave after she dies."
Helaire looked like a very suitable straight man. She immediately raised her hand smilingly and spoke up,
"Mhm, which means to say, these knowledges will transfer onto another Transferred Person after she dies?"
"Indeed it's like this. The essence of the harm these Transferred Persons pose is this Chaos stored within their brains; they are merely the facade and carriers. After Margaret dies, as long as these knowledges aren't fully recorded and preserved, sooner or later there will be another Transferred Person who will subsequently bear these knowledges to enter these worlds. Lord Tao doesn't understand: rather than this, it would be better to wait until these Transferred Persons have fully recorded all the knowledges before killing them. This way, the Chaotic Knowledge and the Transferred Persons are peeled apart, and it will be much easier for us to control and handle them..."
"Lady Pandora is truly wise. I'm just somewhat puzzled: even if Lord Tao has been repelled now, how should we deal with the World Tree that will arrive immediately hereafter? And what is your true objective?"
Facing Helaire's flattery, Pandora didn't pay it much heed. She merely took a deep breath, sensing Margaret's increasingly faint aura above...
She knew it was time.
She already held the winning ticket in her hand.
She lifted her finger. While gazing at the Chaotic Knowledges before her eyes—which had already started becoming restless and attempting to flee outward—she took off the silk covering her face. Afterward, she suddenly asked Helaire behind her,
"No need to worry about these, Helaire. Conversely, I also have a small question I'd like to ask you..."
"Just now, that human named Fisher handed over an item in advance to you, his most trusted person, to safeguard..."
"And if I am not mistaken, that chaotic object unrestricted by rules is capable of destroying the Chain of Heaven's restrictions on the rules of the Holy Grail, right?"
Helaire paused slightly. Before she made any movements, she abruptly felt that the Nineteenth-Tier Remiel had stood not far behind her at some unknown time, blocking the entrance to this karst cave.
And right before her eyes, Pandora smiled as she gradually turned her head to look at Helaire. Within those hollow sockets devoid of eyeballs, bloody granulations—which had been harmed to their current ruined state by the curse of gazing upon the True God's secrets—writhed within, staring straightforwardly at Helaire just like that...
As if desiring to see through the desires of everyone.
