What used to be an island nation under the control of Bridges Kingdom more than 1,300 years ago, in the Alan Island region, in front of the imperial palace of Aucklands City, capital of Bridges Kingdom. Relying on a Perception Barrier, Bella and this dimension’s G.o.d of Creation easily reached the gates of the heavily guarded palace. The guards stationed at the gates were completely unaware about their arrival.
Bella happened to meet the Aldridge Empire amba.s.sadors on a diplomatic mission. Much like before, when the amba.s.sadors entered the palace and handed the box containing the Forbidden Book to the King of Bridges, the process was completed. On this timeline, Brehanna, the last princess of the Bridges Kingdom, shouldn’t have been born yet. She was born shortly after the Forbidden Book was opened.
Bella and the G.o.d of Creation followed the amba.s.sadors into the palace. There were no guards in the palace. Perhaps the King was confident of his own strength and was unafraid of a.s.sa.s.sins. Bella’s conversation with the G.o.d of Creation couldn’t be heard by outsiders. They chatted while walking, appearing more like tourists who came to visit the palace rather than s.p.a.ce-time travelers who were here to maintain the world line.
The G.o.d of Creation refused to be named. Only after the original G.o.d of Creation disappeared would this G.o.d of Creation have a new name, so Bella couldn’t insist on it. She had to keep calling her G.o.d of Creation whenever they chatted. During their conversation, Bella discovered a lot of new intelligence. This dimension’s G.o.d of Creation was smart but only focused her talents on creating living beings. But when it came to talking about creating playthings, her manner was totally different from before.
“G.o.d of Creation, will something really happen to change the world?”
“Yes, the Bridges Kingdom should not have appeared originally. Their civilization doesn’t belong to this dimension. I don’t know why I couldn’t contact you before. I can’t act without your clear instructions. “
According to the information given by the G.o.d of Creation, King Bridges and all the royal family members were originally pirates, not royalty. They were just puppets under the control of those two people behind the scenes. The whole Bridges Kingdom was a puppet regime under the control of others. Their coastal military bases and advanced modern weapons weren’t in the control of King Bridges.
In fact, those modern weapons were controlled by the real masters behind the scenes and the soldiers only obeyed their rules. The Bridges Kingdom didn’t even have the basic right to know how many military bases there were and how many troops were stationed in the bases, much less the right to control and manage the kingdom. ã??
The Bridges Kingdom was equivalent to an administrator. The troops they could control were all soldiers who maintained the order of the slaves on Alan Island. In fact, calling it an army was a bit far-fetched, Perhaps unconventional pirates were a more apt t.i.tle. The last Princess Brehanna wasn’t really a royal descendant, but the daughter of a pirate.
Right then, a maid dressed in a black uniform appeared in front of the Aldridge Empire amba.s.sadors. At a glance, Bella recognized her as the last princess Brehanna whom she met before. Compared to the Undead 1,300 years later, Brehanna was now alive. Bella could clearly feel her heartbeat. Although her skin was still too pale, she still looked rosy.
Brehanna was pretending to be a maid in the palace. Bella caught a flash of abnormality in her eyes. As soon as Brehanna met the Aldridge Empire amba.s.sadors, there was hatred in her eyes. Although fleeting, it was enough to show that she wasn’t a figure from this timeline, but traveling back to change the world line.
“Your Excellencies, His Majesty is over there. Please come with me.”
“Please lead the way. We’re in a hurry. There are so many islands we want to visit!”
The amba.s.sadors of the Aldridge Empire found nothing unusual. Since the confidentiality of their plan was of the highest level, only the chief amba.s.sador and the Aldridge Emperor knew the contents of the plan and what was in the box. Without a third party’s knowledge, it was unlikely the plan was leaked, so the Bridges Kingdom wouldn’t be prepared.
Bella and the G.o.d of Creation continued to follow them. They couldn’t interfere unless they noticed something enough to change the world line. However, Bella was trying to come up with a more appropriate way of intervention. If she wanted to be more extreme, she could destroy Princess Brehanna. Once she returned to this timeline, her strength was greatly weakened. She wasn’t the terrifying Soul Mage a thousand years from now and her combat power was at the level of a mage apprentice. It wouldn’t take Bella any effort to get rid of her.
Bella wouldn’t choose such a method. Once Princess Brehanna was removed from this timeline, she would directly be erased by the world line. When she returns to her previous timeline, Brehanna would have become a nonexistent character who remained only in Bella’s memory. Since Bella was interested in her, she certainly didn’t want to see that happen.
The Aldridge Empire amba.s.sador was led to the secret garden by Brehanna. Before these mages knew it, their demise was at hand. At the edge of the flower beds in the secret garden, countless hidden weapons suddenly appeared. These mages were caught off guard. Most of them were stung by poisonous needles before they could erect a defensive barrier. They fell to the ground and died without even screaming.
The poison on the needle was obviously a highly toxic type–antiaris toxicaria. Once stabbed, they would die. After the poisoned victim collapses, they would be dissolved by toxins, turning into a pool of liquid and disappearing, thus saving the a.s.sa.s.sin the effort of destroying the dead bodies.
The few amba.s.sadors who managed to erect a magic s.h.i.+eld in time, such as the chief amba.s.sador of the Aldridge Empire, weren’t spared and couldn’t escape death either. Their opponent had even prepared for such a step with the many weapon launch ports hidden in the gra.s.s. Many mages usually failed to protect their feet, concentrating on the body and head. As soon as their opponent defied the norm, there would be tragedy.
The chief amba.s.sador stared at his feet unwillingly. Several poisonous needles had penetrated them and his entire body was gradually dissolved by the toxins from bottom to top. Other amba.s.sadors who managed to erect a defense barrier had long fallen and died which proved the strength of the chief amba.s.sador. Unfortunately, he was defeated by the opponent’s cunning.
“Why? Who are you? Why... “
“Hmph, just die. Your empire’s plan can’t destroy our kingdom. I will change the world!”
“Wh-who the h.e.l.l are...”
Brehanna drew the daggers hidden in her maid costume and struck, slicing off the chief amba.s.sador’s right hand. The sealed box containing the Forbidden Book fell to the ground. The chief amba.s.sador collapsed with a look of bewilderment. Until death, he couldn’t understand what went wrong or who let out the secret between him and the emperor.
Brianna grabbed the box, humming a little tune. She walked to a well in the secret garden and prepared to throw it down, so that the fate of the entire kingdom would be rewritten. At the moment Brianna was about to do so, she was horrified to find that she couldn’t move. Time seemed to have been frozen. Not only was she unable to move, she was also unable to speak. Only her mind worked as usual.
Bella and the G.o.d of Creation appeared before Brehanna. When she saw the two beautiful girls appear out of thin air, Brehanna’s expression s.h.i.+fted drastically. She didn’t recognize the G.o.d of Creation but she knew Bella. As soon as she set her gaze upon Bella, Brehanna’s heart sank to the bottom. How did this Demon King travel back to 1,300 years to this timeline? She couldn’t understand.
Without s.p.a.ce-time properties, the G.o.d of Creation wouldn’t be able to freeze time over a certain area. The reason why Brehanna was unable to move was entirely because the timeline she was in was the past. The G.o.d of Creation was able to fast forward, rewind and pause any moment in any location like watching a movie.
From the beginning of the Bridges Kingdom till its final collapse, there were no signs of Demon Kings. Could working together with the other royal descendents to travel back in time cause a change in the world line, hence the appearance of the Demon King sent by the world line to maintain order? Even if the Bridges Kingdom wasn’t destroyed by the curse, it would be destroyed in the hands of the Demon King summoned by the world line.
“Silly girl! Don’t miss the past? I’ll help you send the box over.”
Bella took the sealed box from Brehanna’s hand. After that, she skillfully stripped her of her clothing, removing the matching maid costume and lingerie. Brehanna watched helplessly as she was stripped naked by the evil Demon King. Then, Bella changed into her maid costume, held the box in hand and pretended to be Brehanna to complete the transfer.
“G.o.d... Um, you stay here and watch Brehanna. Don’t let her do anything stupid things. Princess Brianna, when I get back, I’ll have to properly educate you.”
Bella revealed a wicked smile as if succeeding at a prank. While her back was facing the G.o.d of Creation, she stretched out her hand and kneaded Princess Brehanna’s soft chest, gently pinching her pink cherry. Brehanna was both ashamed and angry. When Bella s.n.a.t.c.hed the box from her, she was so anxious she was about to cry. Years of hard work and preparations were destroyed right on the verge of success.
Brianna couldn’t help it. She was as weak as an ant in front of the G.o.d of Creation. When the G.o.d of Creation walked up to her and gave her a light tap, Brehanna’s vision turned black. She wouldn’t be able to partic.i.p.ate in the upcoming changes. The G.o.d of Creation was doing this for Brehanna. If Brehanna continued to intervene, she would be judged by the world line. Then even the G.o.d of Creation wouldn’t be able to bring Brehanna back to her original timeline.
In the palace corridor, after Bella changed into a black maid costume and removed the Perception Barrier, she carefully took the box and prepared to send it to the king. As long as it was delivered, her mission would be complete. The developments and changes that would happen next was out of Bella’s hands.
There weren’t any maid-in-waiting in the palace, which surprised Bella. She wasn’t aware that the palace had no maids. Princess Brehanna’s pretense was undoubtedly the most dubious disguise. Had the amba.s.sadors of the Aldridge Empire inquired more before entering the palace, there would be no tragedy of death.
The royal palace of Bridges Kingdom was clearly a place the mastermind behind the scenes showed off. There were no portraits of the royal family. After all, they were puppets of the real rulers who had no sense of existence. Bella came across a mountain of gold and silver treasures in the palace corridor. It seemed the palace was used as a warehouse and display for treasures.
These treasures were the wealth plundered by Bridges Kingdom’s invasion of other regions, as well as the wealth gained during their slave trade, all of which were ill-gotten gains. Within this heap of treasure were precious seeds and medicinal materials of the Elves, Blood Corals and Luminous Pearls of the Oceanic Race, rare flower seeds of the Fairy Race and various strange collectibles of the Beastman Race. These foreign treasures were physical evidence which told the crimes of the Bridges Kingdom.
Aside from the gold and silver treasures, there were a large number of high-quality female slaves imprisoned in the palace. Different from the weird aesthetic standards on those islands around Alan Island, the ruler behind the scenes had regular tastes. After all, they were transmigrators who could never accept the standards of the Other World. The female slaves imprisoned here were considered collectibles, so they were a cut above those in the slave market outside.
There were special erotic exhibition stands at certain intervals along the palace corridor displaying beautiful slave girls of different nationalities who were held captive here. The elves, fairies and Oceanic Race were all naked and forced to sit straight with their b.r.e.a.s.t.s in the air on these exhibition stands for the viewing pleasure of pa.s.sers-by. Special ball gags made of Luminous Pearls were stuffed in their mouths, their hands bound behind their backs with golden chains, and feet forced apart.
These beauties wore pure gold collars around their necks with a gold chain connected to the ceiling. Large gemstone pendants that shook with every breath they took hung from each of their “red cherries.” This scene was truly erotic. The pervert who held them captive seemed to collect them as a part of treasure, daubing gold powder or pearl powder on their snow-white skin. This was something even Bella had never thought of, which proved that the imagination of a pervert had no end.
This was the first time Bella had seen so many high-quality exotic beauties. Many elves and fairies were at least as beautiful as princesses. These girls had been tamed by that pervert. Their virginities were still intact so G.o.d knows what perverted means he used to train them to be as docile as lambs. From their obedient gazes, Bella knew that they had been completely conquered.
The eyes of these imprisoned slaves were blurry. They certainly didn’t care about Bella’s presence. Since this was the past, she couldn’t save them although she wanted to. Those in the past timeline couldn’t be taken back to the future timeline. So even if she saved them, she couldn’t take them with her. Therefore, Bella appreciated these beauties as much as she could while walking, trying to sear this breathtaking scene in her memory.
The king’s position wasn’t hard to find, but Bella froze as soon as she arrived at the king’s room. Before she even entered the hall, Bella caught a whiff of blood. Then, she came across the bodies of men dressed in black and King Bridges’ corpse. Crown on his head, King Bridges died on the throne. He had a sharp sword in his chest which pierced through his heart.
Bella didn’t have to examine any further because she knew that King Bridges’ heartbeat had long stopped. The sword penetrating his heart had killed him. The king died a few hours ago when Bella was flirting with Princess Brehanna in the secret garden. Clearly, those who attacked him were this group of men in black. There were no traces of guards in the palace so no one to stop the a.s.sa.s.sins who easily managed to locate the king.
Bella almost dropped the box in her hand. Now that the king was dead what should she do with it and who should she give it to? The world line was changing too fast. A new scenario had suddenly appeared. Without the G.o.d of Creation by her side, Bella wasn’t sure how to deal with this unexpected situation.
After calming down a little, Bella noticed a problem. The king was killed instantly, so how did these men in black who attacked her die? These a.s.sa.s.sins were very strange, their bodies cold as if dead for some time. Bella had come across this sort of special humans once. When fighting against the Beastman Continent, the Dark Humans they encountered had this undying ability.
These men in black sneaked into the Bridges Kingdom to kill the king more than 1,300 years ago. The undead humans from the Dark Human Continent were destroyed by the regiment because the ones that killed them possessed powers containing Savior properties. Just as Bella was confused about the changing direction of the world line, she noticed a secret door hidden behind the throne. The transmigrators who resonated with her soul were there.
