More than thirteen hundred years ago around the Alan Island region, at the islands under the Bridges Kingdom’s control, in the hall of the Bridges Kingdom’s royal palace at its capital, Aucklands City, Bella easily infiltrated this place with the help of this dimension’s G.o.d of Creation’s “Perception Barrier” magic. After stopping Last Princess Brehanna’s heaven-defying act, Bella intended to complete the delivery of the secret parcel.
After leaving Princess Brehanna under the G.o.d of Creation’s watch, Bella went alone to the king’s hall. To not affect the world line to the fullest, those who warp back in time must avoid any interactions with anyone in the past and just stay aside as a silent witness. Bella had originally wanted to leave the box and leave without a single sound.
However, who would have known that King Bridges would be a.s.sa.s.sinated by those from the Dark Human Continent. The script was already all wrong. Within the records of the Oceanic Race, the king was the key character in opening the sealed box containing the forbidden book. Now that the king left the set early, how was the script supposed to continue?
Bella pondered for a moment and figured that it was better to meet the ruler behind the scenes here, who was also the transmigrator who appeared in Alan Island during this generation thirteen hundred years in the past. Unknown reasons led to many transmigrators appearing in this Dimensional Other World, and there were also those with evil intentions among them.
Just like the one Bella was planning to meet next, from all those piles of plundered treasures as well as the high-quality exotic female slaves, whether the transmigrator was a good guy or a bad guy was still a controversial topic. However, they had to be a proper “old gentleman,” which Bella could be sure of.
The transmigrator was currently located through the secret door behind the throne from where Bella felt the resonance deep inside her soul. She carefully kept the sealed box containing the forbidden book inside her pocket and then tried to use the “Perception Barrier” magic that the G.o.d of Creation taught her to add an extra layer of concealment over herself before entering the secret door.
Fortunately, Bella successfully cast the “Perception Barrier” magic without any problem. After opening the door, she did not see any transmigrator in there. It was just a very secret room without any doors or windows on any of the walls. Only a strange six-star magical array could be seen at the center of the room on the floor.
This magical array looked like some sort of strange transportation magic as there was a smaller six-star magical array on one of the six corners. From the looks of it, that was probably for the array’s caster. The rest of the corners were filled in with different colors – red, yellow, blue, green, and white. Only one of them was colorless.
There were supposed to be six types of lines that made up the hexagram, but there were currently only 5 colors. It seemed like the last color wasn’t displayed. Bella could feel a mysterious energy guiding her to the small hexagram that had not displayed its specific attribute’s color yet.
Bella subconsciously walked over and stood on top of the small hex circle without a color. As soon as she did, a sixth color instantly appeared on the originally dim array. It was black. However, if you looked at it closely, you would find that it was not pure black, but rather a mixture of countless other colors. You could see flashes of purple, pink, orange, and so on. Bella was surprised at the changes in the array and did not notice one very important detail.
Bella was teleported away to a location that was indeed reserved for Bella in a burst of six-colored light. After she left, the corner that had turned black where she stood just now had become colorless again, which was a sight Bella also did not discover. By the time Bella regained her vision, she felt bright sunlight. Upon a closer look, the magical array really was a magical teleportation array that sent her straight up into the sky.
Bella was currently in a floating garden a few hundred meters above Alan Island. This garden in the air was constructed similarly to Babylon’s Hanging Gardens and was floating in the air. You could look at the entire Alan Island from here. From this high alt.i.tude, you could see every sea and island in the Bridges Kingdom. It was not too much to call it a miracle. The area alone was already larger than the largest air unit Bella had, the Grim Airs.h.i.+p Fleet’s flags.h.i.+p, “Miracle Ark.”
This floating garden had a design that was very close to the modern style. The bottom was a wedge similar to the bottom of a s.h.i.+p, and this special s.h.i.+p carried a large garden with a round roof. Whether it be the roof or the bottom of the s.h.i.+p, the materials used to create them looked no different than gla.s.s.
Due to the high transparency of the material, sunlight could penetrate the entire floating garden from the top down, so it really looked as if you were floating in the air. The floor here was also made of transparent magical cla.s.s, so anyone with a fear of heights should take caution when entering this place.
Currently, the garden was floating in place. From its design, it looked possible for it to move in any direction. After getting a feel for what it was like to walk on transparent floors in the middle of the sky, Bella began exploring the floating garden.
The floating garden was filled with all sorts of precious flowers and plants, all of which were materials that alchemists could only dream of. Many of these could already be considered antique. A thousand years later, many precious plants and herbs would have gone extinct, leaving behind only some written and image records in the cla.s.sical books of alchemists.
Other than precious plants, many beautiful maidens were also imprisoned here as decorations. Unlike the collection of beauties kept on the palace on the ground that was made up of exotic beauties, the ones up here were all young and beautiful human girls.
They also had very special ident.i.ties. All of them were the princesses of fallen nations captured from the small nations at sea after they were destroyed by the invasion of the Bridges Kingdom. In addition to an added collective significance, these fallen princesses had political symbolism as well.
These formerly dignified princesses were now kept here and were not allowed any clothes other than the crowns on their heads, confined in a fully exposed state in the special cages in the air. The cultivation of the princesses had already been sealed, so they were no different from weak and powerless girls right now. Since they could not escape this garden in the air, they weren’t restrained with any binding tools.
Many of the princesses had already resigned themselves to their fate and obediently worked here as garden maids. Being naked was the most natural way of taking care of the plants in this floating garden. It wasn’t that the princesses didn’t want to escape, it was just that only a very limited number of existences could use the teleportation array, and none of them could use it. The transparent layer of the magical gla.s.s surrounding the garden was also unusually hard. With a hardness resembling diamond, it was simply unbreakable.
Some sort of secret sealing arts seemed to have been cast on the princesses. Even though no tools were plugging up their little mouths, none of them could talk. To prevent them from communicating and getting together to rebel, the owner of this floating garden used a secret technique to temporarily render these princesses “mute.”
Compared with the collection in the palace, life for the captives in the floating garden was much better. At the very least, the princesses were allowed to walk freely around the floating garden and had some degree of freedom. Even though they were also part of the garden owner’s collection, they still had some right to move around, which was better than being completely fixed in place as war trophies.
Even though Bella also wanted to help them, the nations of these princesses had long been destroyed. And, with the whole timeline problem, there was no way she could bring them back, so she just ignored them for now. There weren’t any injuries on the princesses’ bodies, and as they were still “untouched,” they were better off here than those in the hallways of the royal palace on Alan Island or Aucklands City’s slave market.
Bella finally saw the people controlling the garden at the center, and they were the actual rulers of the Bridges Kingdom behind the scenes. The two transmigrators were male, and they were probably Saviors. The energy composition of their bodies felt similar to the energy Bella sensed from the other male Saviors, such as G.o.d Chosen Knight Scott and G.o.d Chosen Mage Adelaide.
The two male Saviors seemed to be arguing about something. Both of them looked very handsome. One of them had short blonde hair and wore a golden monocle. He was a good-looking guy wearing a Mechanic’s costume with many gear-shaped patterns on it.
The Mechanic male Savior looked like the scholarly type. He had a sunny and handsome face that would be ranked among top-level hotties if you placed him in the Human Continent a thousand years in the future.
According to their exchange, Bella learned that the modern weapons in the whole of the Bridges Kingdom, such as the magic-guided aircraft tank artillery, as well as this floating garden, were all the works of this Mechanic Savior. Even the modern buildings in Aucklands City on Alan Island were his designs.
The other Savior arguing with the Mechanic was a handsome man with long black hair. This guy was wearing the equipment of a Dark Magic Mentor. He should be a dark magic user good with all sorts of evil spells in terms of profession, a combination of forbidden professions such as Dark Mages, Necromancers, and Soul Sorcerers.
Unlike the sunny-styled Mechanic Savior, the Dark Conjurer Savior belonged to the evil type. Both of them belonged to the male protagonist types common in many transmigration stories. Either the sunny smart guy or the evil aloof type. Both the slavery system and the slave market of the Bridges Kingdom and their foreign invasion wars were all led by this Dark Conjurer Savior, and there were the two Saviors who were controlling the Bridges Kingdom.
Even though Bella didn’t fully approve of using modern weapons to beat up the local inhabitants of the Other World or the invasion of other nations, the Dark Conjurer Savior pa.s.sed as a “gentleman.” He had good knowledge of both slavery and training up slave girls. If she hadn’t seen the two of them arguing, Bella would have wanted to go up to the Dark Conjurer Savior to exchange “training” experience.
Bella also had no idea whether the G.o.d of Creation had temporarily given her special abilities, but she could see the part of the data of the two Saviors who were arguing before they transmigrated over. This could only happen with a World Creator and the Saviors summoned by them. When they’d summon a Savior into this world, a Creator would know the information of that Savior before he or she was transported here.
These two Saviors were summoned by the original Creator of this world. Compared to the Saviors summoned by Creators of other dimensions, they were the “genuine” Saviors of this world. Scott and the others were just copycat replacements. As for the large wave of system-type Saviors sent by the Savior Camp itself, their ident.i.ty and legitimacy couldn’t even be compared.
Kriss and the other Dark Saviors belonged to a different type of Saviors (Renegades) who were summoned over for other reasons. They were different from these two traditional Saviors. The one who summoned Bella and the others over couldn’t possibly be the Original Creator of this world. The Saviors summoned by the World Creator definitely had to share the same gender as them, so Bella did not compare the differences between them.
After looking at the information of the two Saviors before they transmigrated over, Bella almost laughed out loud. Weren’t they too much like the protagonists from those transmigration novels? The Mechanic Savior used to be a top student and a NEET, and the reason he transmigrated over was that he died while opening the window on a stormy day. As a result, a ball of lightning came into his room and sent him to another world.
The Dark Conjurer Savior had an even more amazing backstory before transmigrating over. He was a secret agent from a certain Eastern superpower country. He usually disguised himself as an a.s.sa.s.sin and was immersed in an underground world of reconnaissance and infiltration. The reason he transmigrated was that his ident.i.ty was exposed during one of his operations. A small group of a.s.sa.s.sins from a rival country had their eye on him as he was attacked during a stormy night, which ended with him dying together with the team of a.s.sa.s.sins.
The two Saviors had not noticed Bella, who infiltrated their garden yet. They were still arguing. The two Saviors were sitting around a round table with exactly six seats around it. As if attracted by some mysterious power, Bella went to the very last seat and sat down without reservation. The moment she sat down, she saw a vision. It felt as if blurred shadows had suddenly appeared on the other three empty seats.
This fleeting illusion left a deep impression on Bella. Her sixth sense was telling her that this sixth seat should originally have been hers. By the time Bella came back to her senses, the three seats had become empty again. An inexplicable sense of loss and sadness drifted through Bella’s soul.
“Dark Conjurer, you’re too extreme! You actually led the humans from the Dark Continent to kill the king? Where am I going to find another p.a.w.n as obedient as him?”
“You’re too stiff, Mechanic. Still indulging yourself in the lies of that Creator? It’s simply a waste to use such a strong power to save the world. You might as well enjoy ruling the world instead!”
“Dark Conjurer, those slaves you’re collecting is just part of your perverse tastes after all so I won’t say anything about it, but have you thought about our sixth companion who hasn’t even arrived yet? How will he feel when he sees what you’ve done!”
“Mechanic, the Creator... It’s been more than eight thousand years. You still can’t let go of the oath you made with the Creator back then? Besides, that guy has been hunting us down for the past couple thousand years or so. We may not even be able to see our sixth companion, so just enjoy every day as it comes!”
“Dark Conjurer, we still have companions who have yet to arrive, we can’t just give up on faith. I can look past you guiding the Dark Continent’s humans, but this is the last time. If this happens again, we’ll go our separate ways. We’ve already been hiding for thousands of years, don’t you even have the slightest feeling of companions.h.i.+p?”
“Mechanic, you say this as if you are the only righteous one among us. Aren’t you the first to propose conquering the world? All those weapons were all your work, so why are you dumping the blame to me instead? If we hadn’t b.u.mped into those World Destructor Camp’s Demon G.o.ds and Evil G.o.ds, I would long have wanted to jump s.h.i.+p.”
“That’s slander, Dark Conjurer. I was trying to spread advanced culture to the whole Other World. It’s a more n.o.ble goal than your barbaric slavery system. This is a feat to promote cultural progress, so don’t talk nonsense if you don’t understand it.”
“So, Mechanic. What is the difference between what you said and what those Western colonists who enslaved the American-Indians? It’s the same thing spoken in different contexts. Shouldn’t we all know quite well what sort of people we are after so many thousands of years?”
Bella sat there, listening to their argument with a complicated expression on her face. After sitting down in that seat, a lot of fragmented memories suddenly emerged in Bella’s mind, which caused her to recall many things she had previously forgotten. That was, she had originally transmigrated to this Other World as a Savior. Her soul had been summoned by this dimension’s Creator after she met with that car accident last time.
During that time, Bella had not changed bodies yet, and she was a man. It was no problem at all for her to be summoned by the original Father of Creation of this Dimensional Other World. It was just that she didn’t know what happened amid her journey that delayed her trip, causing her soul to wander outside for over ten thousand years.
After that, Bella, who was ten thousand years late, transmigrated into Sacred Demon G.o.d Samantha’s body by mistake and automatically jumped camps over to the World Destructor’s side. Her gender had also been changed into that of a girl during that process. Even if they waited several tens of thousands of years, the other five Saviors were destined to not be able to meet their partner who had jumped s.h.i.+p midway and had their s.e.xes changed.
In the camp identification, Saviors were identified with their soul, so Bella could still be identified as a Savior. This was also the reason she could use Savior’s weapons and the system. World Destructors couldn’t check another’s soul, so Bella hadn’t been found out yet so far.
