Chapter 496: Success and Verification
Following Walter’s voice, the crystal coffin immediately turned into a stream of light and fused with the surrounding land, turning into an even larger coffin that was s.h.i.+mmering with starlight.
Avril’s body was immediately exposed in the coffin following the fusion, and huge magic crystals were pulled from the surrounding land. Those magic crystals were engraved with magic arrays, emitting extraordinary fluctuations.
Those magic crystals were used to provide safety for the land. Every piece of magic crystal was at least platinum-tier. Some of them even emitted diamond-tier fluctuations. Those magic crystals were all fused with the crystal coffin. The original holy relic crystal coffin was instantly upgraded to starlight-tier.
[Starlight-tier item: the Gla.s.s Coffin That Seals the Sky.]
[Ability: Absolute Seal (can seal everything), Absolute Eternity (anything inside the coffin is eternal), Absolute Defense (can’t be opened from the inside or the outside).]
[Additional effects: the Sealed Divine Kingdom, the Opening of the Gate of h.e.l.l (which can connect to h.e.l.l and release creatures from h.e.l.l).]
During the fusion process, Watson had only fused the crystal coffin with treasures that King Landhar III had placed there. He still had not done anything to Avril’s corpse. Everyone there could understand that.
If they wanted to resurrect Avril, they had to get Avril out of the coffin. Just as they thought about that, Watson waved his hand and summoned the fused starlight-tier gla.s.s coffin before him. He asked the new King of the Zombies to protect the gla.s.s coffin. Then, he pointed at his chest with his right hand, and a starlit chess piece appeared.
The moment the chess piece appeared, green life energy that was full of vitality appeared on Watson’s body. Then, he waved his fist, and the life energy poured into the starlight, and a woman’s silhouette appeared immediately.
“Human Creation, activate.”
The human chess piece could create humans. The newly-created human would conform to Watson’s standards. At that moment, he had made a human based on Avril’s appearance.
The new human looked like Avril and had her personality and memories from when she was alive due to the human chess piece’s ability.
The light subsided, and the newly-created Avril stood in front of Watson. She opened her eyes slowly—they were beautiful in purple. Her long platinum hair fluttered, and her long dress was made of emerald-green life energy.
“Where am I?”
Avril’s eyes seemed confused. She looked around her, and her voice was pleasant, like a nightingale singing.
“The late Queen has been resurrected!”
There was a wave of exclamations from all around the garden. Many guards looked at Avril in disbelief. Some of them had strange expressions on their faces.
“That’s not a complete resurrection!”
It was not strange for them to have such doubts because Avril’s body was still lying on the ground. Watson had only created another Avril. That method was not a resurrection; it should be called creation.
The guards were not the only ones who felt that way. Antonio and Reid’s mouths were twitching. They did not know what to say. It turned out that what Watson meant by resurrection was to create Avril out of thin air. It would be great if he could use that ability right from the start. He had fused zombies and gla.s.s coffins. It had nothing to do with the resurrection. If they were the deceased’s family members, they would have been anxious to fight Watson.
“Sister! You’re my sister, right?”
Fortunately, Sylvan did not care about that. After seeing Avril, all his thoughts were long forgotten. All he could think about was his sister.
“Brother? What are you talking about? I’m Avril. Don’t you recognize me? Why do you look so different? You look so mature.”
Avril turned her head. She seemed puzzled when she saw Sylvan, and her long eyelashes fluttered.
Tears welled in Sylvan’s eyes. He could not help but walk toward Avril and hug her. After Avril spoke, he was sure that the girl in front of him was Avril. Even though he did not know what Watson did—he had seen many magical aspects of Watson—he did not doubt the young man.
Just as he was about to walk toward Avril, he opened his arms. At that moment, King Landhar III suddenly reached out and stopped him.
“Wait a minute, Sylvan. It’s hard to say if the person in front of me is Avril.”
“Frier, what are you doing?” Sylvan turned toward the King with reddened eyes. “I’m her brother. Wouldn’t I know if she is Avril?”
“Just to be safe, I have to test it out.”
Not swayed by Sylvan’s words, King Landhar III turned to look at Avril, and the woman also tilted her head to look at him. “Are you Frier? Why have you become so mature? I remember that I was dead. Are you also dead? Is this h.e.l.l?”
Her words moved King Landhar III, but he quickly took a deep breath to compose his expression. “Avril, I need to ask you some questions. You need to answer truthfully. ”
“Frier, why are you speaking in such a strange tone? Why do you speak so formally? You said that you were forced to become king. In fact, you hate everything that your father and your brothers and sisters have done.”
Avril was complaining when she was interrupted by King Landhar III. “You don’t have to say anything. I just need you to answer one question. Do you know how you died?”
“How I died?” Avril frowned and shook her head as if she had a headache. “You killed me. No, I was injured while protecting you. I begged you to kill me, but you disagreed. In order not to drag you down, I chose to commit suicide! Before I committed suicide, I even sent people to spread rumors in the kingdom, portraying me as an evil person. That way, it won’t affect you in any way. ”
“Avril, so the rumors that circulated in the kingdom back then weren’t spread by King Landhar III, but by your orders?” Sylvan asked, surprised.
Avril nodded and looked at King Landhar III with eyes filled with love. “That’s right. I remember everything. I was the one who wanted to do that! The Demoness Church was labeled as evil by King Landhar II. I was also regarded as a demoness who had bewitched the royal family. King Landhar II’s men severely injured me. Frier saved me and even led an army to surround the Royal Palace for me. Unfortunately, I knew that I would not be able to live for long. Instead of letting Frier lose his mind for me, it was better for me to do something useful. I used King Landhar II’s words to expand the rumors. Then, I stabbed a dagger into my chest. I was dead. What is happening now?”
She looked around her. She thought that her brother and lover had died to accompany her. However, she saw many people she did not know, which made her doubt her a.s.sumption.
“Frier, only you and my sister know about that, right? What else do you have to say?” King Landhar III could not help but look at Sylvan. King Landhar III was silent for a moment before he sighed.
“Yes, only Avril and I knew about that. There is no doubt that this person is Avril! Watson, I am perplexed about how you did it. Avril’s corpse is still there. How did you resurrect a new Avril? “
