Chapter 475

Chapter 475: Neymar Awakens

Karoso didn’t know how long he had been eating; he just felt the memories he had lost slowly returning to his mind.

The memories of the Blackening Card and his own memories came back, but they were still a bit confused.

His soul was made whole in the Acheron!

In theory, a broken soul cannot be healed, not even by a dead wizard.

But Acheron can!

Everywhere here, there are pure souls, which are the best food for souls.

Of course, to come here for healing, you must at least be able to leave this place.

Tige has a history of killing gods, showing that even gods do not easily enter the realm of the dead.

"What has happened?" After eating his fill, Karoso slowly opened his eyes.

Those black eyes shone brightly, giving a very clear feeling.

[Master Karoso has recovered?]

[Damn, I knew Dad could be trusted!]

[It looks like Master Karoso was thrown into Acheron to feed the fish, but actually he is being treated.]

[Whew, Honey Karoso is better now, and mom can relax.]

[You killed the god, and then you appeared here, meeting dad.]

[Dad seems to recognize you.]

[Of course he recognized you; otherwise, Master Karoso wouldn’t be a match for dad.]

[So why is dad so cruel to Master Karoso and even took 『』 away?]

[Isn’t that just their family’s style?]

[Teacher 『』 fell in love with you, wow, I can’t believe I became obsessed.]

[Sister group failed big time.]

[The look in 『』’s eyes has become blurry.]

[It’s just that you are too much of a straight guy; before, you made Teacher 『』 go through a lot.]

With each of us sharing our words, we helped Karoso understand what had happened.

Karoso didn’t know why, but although he and Teacher 『』 were two living humans, they somehow entered Acheron.

In this land of the dead, can the bodies of the living fit in?

No, Acheron is not a place where one can stay for long.

Karoso felt as if all his strength was gone; the only thing he could use was the power of the rules he had understood.

Surtr’s flames, strength, the realm of Card God, the Absorb Power of the Lord of Eternity, the force of death, and his own unique power of the Mirror World.

Looking at the endless sea of blood, Karoso tightened his grip on the sword and swam toward the outside.

No matter what, let’s meet with the teacher first.

Just at that moment, a huge shark seemed to notice something and began to chase after Karoso.

In Acheron, you can die inside, you can be digested by Acheron, but you can never leave Acheron!

……

Present day, September 23rd.

Neymar, who had been asleep for a long time, finally woke up.

"Brother!"

Neymar suddenly sat up but did not see Karoso.

What she saw was the familiar ceiling and the familiar room.

Is this the headquarters of the Church of the God of Wisdom?

"You are finally awake."

Jaina felt relieved when she saw Neymar wake up.

"What happened?" Neymar suddenly looked at Jaina.

"Well…" Jaina thought for a moment, "You fell into a coma after coming out of the dungeon, and then you reached the ninth level, so we brought you back."

Upon hearing this, Neymar felt a flood of strange knowledge rush into her mind.

When she reached the ninth level, even more knowledge was unlocked.

Especially the memory fragments from the battle with the God of Wisdom and Karoso also entered her mind.

Neymar never expected that the powerful God of Wisdom, who always wanted to take over her body, had actually been killed by Karoso.

Now, there is no trace of the God of Wisdom’s will or soul left in Neymar’s body.

But I have come out, where is my brother, and where is President 『』?

The dungeon is destroyed, but people are still trapped inside; Neymar has never seen this kind of thing in books, nor has she heard such legends.

My body is protected by a divine power, but my brother and President 『』 do not have that!

"By the way, someone wanted to see you but was stopped," Jaina reported faithfully.

"Who is it?" Neymar asked instinctively.

"It’s Null, the brother of Card Master 『』. He broke through to the Ninth Tier and seems to be looking for trouble," Jaina said.

"President Null, at Ninth Tier?" Neymar felt that after just one sleep, the whole world had changed, "Is there any news about Karoso?"

She did not want to know about anything else and had no time to explore; she just wanted to know what happened to Karoso!

"Yes, he is active in Laria." Jaina knew Neymar’s habits very well.

Neymar and Karoso communicated the most frequently, and Neymar always made sure the church paid close attention to Karoso’s news.

Just as Neymar was about to relax, she was suddenly startled. Laria?

"Do I have a letter?" Neymar reached out her hand.

"No." Jaina shook her head. "The navy of the Kingdom of Persia and the Pande Empire are at war, and many countries are involved, so communication is likely to be greatly affected."

Neymar understood what was going on!

Her brother could not be active in Laria; just like in the past when her brother talked to Teresa, it was likely that Teresa was using her brother’s identity to be active now.

"You go out first, I need to use the Great Prophecy," Neymar said.

"My lord, you have just awakened. Using the Great Prophecy now…" Jaina quickly said, "Also, today’s Presea is a bit special; the Pope has already gone to the Winter Fortress…"

"You don’t need to worry." Neymar regained a bit of her authority.

What others do is not her concern.

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Jaina had no choice but to step back.

After Jaina left, Neymar glanced at her clothes, freshened up, and changed into a robe that enhanced magical abilities.

Then, she prepared some materials and drew a magic circle on the floor.

She walked to the center of the magic circle and recited a mysterious incantation.

"Brother is not on the continent…" Neymar’s face turned a little pale.

"No, I can’t panic. Brother won’t be in trouble; he can even defeat gods…"

Neymar calmed herself, and her eyes turned a deep blue.

Slowly, Neymar’s power reached back to the dungeon and connected to Karoso through an invisible path.

The journey was long, and even with Neymar’s divine strength, it would take a lot of time to find Karoso.

……

On that day, Teresa also arrived in Winterfell City.

When she returned to Winterfell City, she was completely shocked.

She saw that the flag of the Winter Fortress was flown at half-mast, not just the Winter Fortress flag, but also the flag of the United Nations.

Throughout the streets of Winterfell City, every household hung moonlight grass at their doors.

This was used in Winterfell City to mourn the dead, and every home displayed it; there could only be one reason, a state funeral!

Who is worthy of a state funeral?

Teresa rushed to the entrance of Winter Fortress, where two rows of soldiers had formed a blockade, all of them wearing black clothing.

At this moment, it seemed like a funeral was about to begin.

Teresa ran into the middle of the road and looked ahead.

In her view, there was the coffin of Emperor Augustus!

This coffin was being carried by Easley, who walked at the front.

At the back, carrying the coffin, were Brother Three and Brother Five.

In the middle, lifting the coffin, was Brother One.

Brother One’s face was dark, as if he was trying very hard to hold something back.

At the beginning, there is Gesta Heins, the Pope of the Church of Wisdom God.

Teresa looked at the scene before her, trembling all over.

She could not accept that her father was dead, and even more, she could not accept that she had not seen him for the last time.

Just a few days ago, everything was fine! What on earth happened?

Such a big event happened, why didn’t I know about it!

"Second Brother! Why!"

Teresa shouted at Easley.

She moved swiftly and without obstruction, not because she was exceptionally strong, but because no one was there to stop her.

Her uncle and Hercules, who was from her grandfather’s generation, were near the coffin.

Teresa arrived and stood in the way; they also noticed Teresa.

"Teresa, you ungrateful girl, you still know how to come back? Come over and help carry the coffin!" Easley shouted.

Teresa stared blankly as everyone walked up to her, and then Easley pulled her and brought her to one side of the coffin.

Instinctively, Teresa supported the coffin.

She couldn’t believe it, she couldn’t believe her father was really gone.

"I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it…"

Teresa wanted to move, but a large hand pressed down on her shoulder, sealing her magic.

Teresa had grown a lot in the dungeon, and with the new equipment she received, she could hold her own among eighth-tier fighters.

But her opponent was Hyros, one of the Guardian Deities of this country, and he was also her uncle.

"Uncle…" Teresa turned her head and looked at Hyros.

Seeing Teresa looking confused, Hyros sighed and said, "Your brother died on the sixteenth. To keep the country stable, he chose to use the Puppet Stone."

"The person I spoke to on Number Seven is my father who used the Puppet Stone?" Teresa exclaimed.

No wonder her father seemed strange that day; it was because of the Puppet Stone!

Hyros nodded.

"Why didn’t you tell me? Why didn’t you tell me before?" Teresa felt a surge of anger inside her, "I…"

Teresa felt a wave of grievance rise in her heart.

Right now, her heart was in chaos, her mind was in chaos, everything was in chaos.

Her eyes had lost their sparkle; she was walking on instinct.

"Is what you are saying useful now?" Hyros turned to Teresa and said, "If you had known back then, you would have run back without thinking. If other countries discovered something strange, then his Puppet Stone would have been wasted!"

"Everything is for the stability of the nation…"

Teresa opened her mouth.

I must say, Easley has his ways.

He used to manage the diplomatic side, and in just a few days, he weakened the Crown Prince’s power by using the incident of the Crown Prince breaking into Winter Fortress.

Those generals following the Crown Prince, he either threatened, tempted, or suppressed. With the Imperial Guard he controlled and the people Emperor Augustus left to him, he briefly took control of the situation.

Although it’s still not very stable, the Crown Prince is now under Easley’s control.

The returning Third Prince won’t cause much trouble.

Teresa?

She was just a girl, and she only took two divisions with her, which was not a big deal for Easley.

The Second Prince never saw Teresa as a rival.

"The stability of the country, the stability of the country… Father…" Teresa did not expect that day when her father talked to her about everyday things would be their last real conversation.

Damn, I should have noticed it. How could my father talk to me about these things in such a message?

Father…

You may not be a good father, but you are the greatest emperor!

But all I wanted was a father…

Teresa attended the funeral in a daze, and after it ended, she followed everyone back to Winter Fortress like a puppet.

She did not hear what the Second Prince said, what Hercules said, or what Hyros said; or rather, she filtered it all out.

At that time, when someone toasted with her, she mechanically clinked her glass, and when the maid helped her change clothes, she stood there like a puppet, letting others control her.

Her mind was filled with memories of her father.

When she was little, her father treated her like a little princess, but unfortunately, Teresa preferred not painting or flower arranging, but riding horses and fighting.

By the time Teresa was eight, she could already chase after Easley and hit him.

Her father showed more care for Teresa, unlike the strictness he had with his son.

In Teresa’s eyes, this was a sign that her father did not value her enough.

After that, she worked hard, showing extraordinary talent and a fearless spirit of adventure like Presea.

She was a warrior born from a standard fighting nation.

Teresa’s personality even made Emperor Augustus a little frustrated.

I wanted to raise a princess, but this princess became the strongest princess and also the one who worried him the least because she fit this time so well.

Thus, a pampered girl, someone who once had no rules, slowly grew up and formed the father-daughter relationship they have now.

"Teresa, are you listening to what I am saying?"

Just then, Teresa seemed to hear someone calling her name.

Teresa looked at Easley with a puzzled expression, "What did you say?"

"If you’re feeling down, go for a walk. I know you are sad because our father has passed away, and I’m sad too, but we are royal; we have to take care of all of Presea. Because our father is gone, we need to carry the future of Presea even more." Easley sighed, "Father made Presea so strong; we cannot let it fall apart in our hands."

"When you feel better, come back. Don’t keep messing around with Karoso. Let’s make Presea better together and finish what our father couldn’t."

"I understand…" Teresa said gloomily, "Sorry, Second Brother, I really don’t feel like doing anything right now… Well, I’ll go for a walk."

"Okay, but don’t go too far. Presea needs you; this country needs you." Easley said seriously, "You are one of the most talented fighters among us, and the future of Presea needs your protection. Let’s guard this country together like Father and Uncle did."

"Hmm…"
