;

It was not that Salomon failed to notice the vast starry sky above Barda's room. He also saw the vast space emitting warm light, as well as the huge creature sleeping in it, which had just revealed its ivory-like human face headdress, and the almost infinite There are endless angels, and among these angels there are many huge guys like the Four Yuan De, but now they look smaller than ants.

Even under the influence of magic, Salomon was far away from the creature, but he still felt an indescribable sense of oppression, which was the unavoidable fear of behemoths as a human being.Even Phoenix, who was staying next to him, was inevitably stiff, and the golden-red hair on his neck stood up, making him look fatter.

Lumen Sage followed Salomon's eyes and looked at the strange space on the ceiling. "Ah, this is the most important research result of the Izavel Group," Sage Badr said in a proud tone. He stretched out a hand and showed it as if to show off, "The artificial divine realm connected to the heavens. , the entire room has also been transformed into another world. It is precisely because of this that we can get a glimpse of the true face of the Creator."

"It is indeed an excellent magic." Salomon exhaled a long breath. He felt that the current situation was even more difficult.The photos taken by Luka before, those blood-red coffins that extracted the witch's blood, were probably to provide energy for the huge space in front of them.Salomon really couldn't figure out why the Supreme Mage asked him to carry out this mission. The situation in front of him already showed that the Sage Baldr was fully prepared. In this crisis, shouldn't the Mage Hermitage be allowed to do so first? Did everyone rush over and push the sage to death?

The Eye of Agamotto has only this answer. The Supreme Mage must have seen some possibility of the Lumen Sage's failure, and this possibility must involve Salomon's participation.Otherwise, no one would let a fledgling spellcaster participate in such a serious situation.

But Salomon did not dare to relax. He took out the potion sent by Baron Mordo and drank it in one gulp.Suddenly, he felt his fatigue disappear slightly, but it was not enough. "I am really too tired, Mr. Badr." Salomon said, "Please allow me to take a nap so that I can prepare for the final outcome in the best possible condition."

"It doesn't matter." Balder held Selesa and sat on the high-backed chair. I don't know if it was because of confidence or pride. He seemed to not care about anything Salomon did. He even allowed the spirit to The gray shorthair cat stayed in Theresa's arms.Salomon glanced at Phoenix. The big golden-red bird bowed slightly, saying that it would try its best to protect Salomon's safety.

The mystic mage once again looked at Baldur, who was expressionless, and Theresa, who was in his arms.Then he relaxed his body, leaned back on the soft chair, closed his eyes, and quickly fell into a deep sleep.A short rest is extremely important for a spell caster like Salomon who signs a contract with another world to cast spells. Only after recovering his energy can he have enough mental strength to cast spells, and the potion given by the Supreme Mage is even more important. This can maximize the effect of this short break.

After an unknown amount of time, Phoenix's voice sounded in Salomon's heart again, and a person walked into the portal of the spherical room.Bayonetta walked in from the portal with a solemn expression, and Luca, who Salomon thought had given up in the face of danger, actually followed closely behind.

Bayonetta was in a very bad mood. She struggled to win under the siege of several Quaternary Virtues and Jeanne d'Arc. At the same time, she also recovered some of her memories from 500 years ago from Jeanne d'Arc.In fact, Joan of Arc was her childhood playmate. Before the destruction of the Umbrella Witch, Bayonetta, the forbidden child and feared by everyone, had the only friend and rival who had the same competitive personality. Joan of Arc was fiercely competitive and was about to become the leader of the witch clan.

And when Witch Umbra was in dire straits due to witch hunting, it was Joan of Arc who sealed Bayonetta.What Bayonetta remembered before, the scene where Jeanne stabbed her chest with a stabbing sword, was the scene where Jeanne sealed her away.As a leader, Joan of Arc will never allow the witch clan's treasure to fall into the hands of others, especially the sage clan who intends to break the balance.

Joan of Arc used the unique magic of the witch clan. She temporarily sealed Bayonetta in a ruby, which is now the ruby ​​​​on the pocket watch on Bayonetta's chest. That ruby ​​​​is a witness to the friendship between the two. .Then Joan of Arc broke out of the siege with the ruby, sealed Bayonetta in a coffin, sank into the lake and hid it. It wasn't until Luca's father broke the seal 20 years ago that Bayonetta was seen again.

In addition, Bayonetta also recalled the origin of that lipstick.She remembered that she was kneeling and crying in front of a dying woman, surrounded by a sea of ​​fire, and the sky was filled with angels. The angel floating in the front was the Fortitudo Angel of the Four Elements of Virtue.This also explains Bayonetta's subconscious hatred for the Fortitudo Angel, and why she feels better after killing it.Bayonetta remembered the identity of the dying woman, which was her mother. She gave the lipstick to Bayonetta and told her to save someone.

"In order to protect you, who lost the will to fight with the death of your mother, and to protect your left eye, I had no choice." Jeanne, who was defeated by Bayonetta, said, "I was so innocent at that time."

"I remember," Bayonetta said. "A long time ago, you were unique to me."

"That boring doll-like woman." Joan of Arc said with a chuckle.

"Why did you choose me as your opponent on that day 500 years ago?" Bayonetta still has countless questions she wants to answer, "I am hated by everyone."

"In order to become the strongest witch, you have to choose the strongest opponent, that's all." Even when she was lying on the ground, Jeanne was unwilling to express her feelings. Her character was exactly the same as Bayonetta's.She said, "Never run away from Sage Baldr and settle the grudges from 500 years ago. This is your destiny."

"Fight, then come back victorious and open a new path. Don't be afraid of your fate, hold your head high, Ceresa. Hold your head high, and open your eyes. Behind every fact, there is another truth." Zhen Bayonetta was greatly puzzled by De's words. Even if Jeanne was in a trance, it was unlikely that she would recognize her as Theresa.Bayonetta became suspicious of Theresa's origins. Originally, she only thought that Theresa was the child of the sage Baldr, but now this identity has to be questioned.

Behind every fact, there is another truth.The mystery of why Jeanne d'Arc, who was once a companion, would help Sage Ceresa and her identity weighed heavily in Bayonetta's heart. She raised her head and glanced at the top of the Isabel Building.Perhaps as Joan of Arc said, all the answers are there.

Jeanne, who was seriously injured, suddenly sat up and used her last strength to shoot Bayonetta.The startled Bayonetta quickly retreated, and then Jeanne was submerged in the golden thunder falling from the sky.Endless regret and pain intertwined in Bayonetta's heart. She finally found her memory and companions, but lost them again in an instant.

After that, she met Luca who was desperately climbing the stairs.After gathering her mood, Bayonetta and Luca went to the top floor of the Isabel Building, walked through the psychic path cast by light, and arrived at this spherical room.

"Mommy, Mommy is here." Ceresa, who was in Baldur's arms, shouted and turned her head. She stretched out her chubby hands towards Bayonetta and shouted in a childish voice, "Mommy." ".

"You are finally here, my dear Theresa." Balder said, "My dear, why do you look so sad? When you were a child, your smile was warmer than the sun."

"Yeah." The little girl looked at Badr with a puzzled expression, but she quickly put the matter behind her and showed a sweet smile to everyone in the room.Then, she let out a lovely yawn and slowly fell asleep.

Bayonetta glanced at Salomon who had just stood up from his seat.Obviously, she was questioning the mystic with her eyes as to why the little girl ended up in Badr's hands.But Salomon did not answer, but looked nervously at Theresa in Baldr's arms.

Bayonetta gave up asking Salomon for the time being. She couldn't figure out the intentions of the Mage's Priory, so Bayonetta changed her target.She pushed up her glasses and looked at Badr behind the table.She asked, "As far as I know, you are the last Lumen Sage, right?"

"Yes, my name is Baldr." The sage said, "But you can call me, Father. You have lost a lot of memory. The last time we met was 500 years ago. If you hadn't lost your memory, This reunion will be even more exciting."

"Where did that girl come from?" Bayonetta asked.

"It's a long story." Balder stood up holding Selesa, and he slowly walked towards the astrology device placed next to the table.He said, "We Lumen Sages and you Umbra Witches are all observers of history, observing the world with their own eyes. All of this is for the sake of this universe and to maintain its existence. But 500 years ago , you are expelled from this race, even if you are the left eye of the Eye of the World."

Badr walked towards the decorative potted plant on the table and folded the flower branches that had not yet bloomed in his hands. Under the influence of magic, the flowers that were originally in bud slowly bloomed.He inserted this slender flower branch between Ceresa's thick hair.He said, "At this moment when we are about to successfully resurrect the Creator Jubilus, there is only one way to restore your memory and open your observer's eyes. Your pure eyes must experience the history that it cannot see. You The battles, your struggles, everything you experienced in Vigrid will be the help for you to restore your memory, all for the sake of the left eye."

"I've had enough of your philosophical nonsense." Bayonetta impatiently raised her pistol and pointed it at Balder, "I'm asking you one last time. Where did this girl come from?"

"Your question has already been answered." Badr replied with a chuckle, "All this is to awaken the left eye. If you want to awaken the left eye, you must re-examine yourself."

"You are really hopeless." Bayonetta's voice was full of anger. This was the most intense emotion she had ever shown in front of others.

"Ah salvation. Such a mysterious word." Baldr said his lines like a stage actor, "I have marked the road to salvation with light. However, no matter how bright the light is, the darkness in people's hearts remains. Deep. Light, darkness, and the chaos in between. If you want to create a new world, you must merge these three separated worlds together. This caused Easter 500 years ago, and I inspired The fear in people's hearts triggered the witch hunt. Even though they all believed that the creator Jubilus would return, the return of the left eye was still far away. Since then, I have worked hard to build Vigrid. Now, I can finally It’s paying off.”

"Yes, Jubilus will be resurrected, and we will become the Eyes of the World." Balder's voice continued to rise, but Theresa in his arms was not awakened. "A new world will be born. "

"I absolutely cannot call the culprit who created this nightmare my father," Bayonetta said disdainfully. She concealed her emotions in her heart again and once again showed her usual frivolous attitude.

"Nice speech, big man." Luca said after watching the show for a long time. "Did you go a little too far? Izavel's Big Boss Redemption and Brightness, you implemented this corporate philosophy a little too thoroughly. , isn’t it?”

Salomon looked askance at the guy.Sure enough, he was not wrong about the person. This person just liked to seek death.

"But if anything, it's all bullshit," Luca said. "History is full of people like you who committed genocide, or should I say, notorious butchers."

Balder recognized Luca's identity.In fact, as an ordinary person, Luca is already very brave to have come this far. There is some truth in the saying that a tiger father has no dog son because Luca's father is an employee of Badr, although he does not agree with Badr's inner thoughts. , but Badr didn't care what Luca's father investigated.

"But when bad rumors start to spread, I have to stop them." The sage said nonchalantly, "But in order to thank him for finding the bottom of the lake where my long-lost Ceresa was hidden, I fulfilled his final wish. wishes and accepted his permanent resignation.”

"You bastard" Luka shouted and rushed forward.But after taking a few steps, his limbs were lifted up by something invisible, just like what happened to his father 20 years ago.

"I no longer need you. However, to show my respect," Balder said, "I will allow you to die in the same way as your father."
