Chapter 70: Chapter 27: White Queen (Part 1)
Diana.
The woman who claims to be from Atlantis.
She calls Su Ziyu the successor and tells him that seeing this image means she has already failed.
She might be the previous Space-Time Inspector.
As for why she failed, Su Ziyu doesn’t know. Perhaps because she faced those beings known as ’indescribable horrors.’ When Su Ziyu activated the Space-Time Monitor System, a significant portion of data was missing, and he heard a very eerie whisper that almost drove him insane on the spot.
"What era was she from?" Su Ziyu asked after a brief silence.
"She was the Savior of the Ashen Era." Rebecca didn’t understand why Su Ziyu, being a Witch, wouldn’t know this, but she patiently explained, "It was about six thousand years ago."
"She found a tender sprig from the ashes of the World Tree and used it to create the world we live in now."
Is she that powerful?
Su Ziyu knew the auxiliary ability of the Space-Time Monitor System was powerful, but he didn’t expect the previous being to be so terrifying as to create a world.
Is this the path I must follow in the future?
But even she failed. When I face those indescribable horrors in the future, can I win?
Perhaps I should think of a way to go back home.
Regarding the Ashen Era, these two from the Vanir know little, only confirming that after Ragnarok, not all intelligent life was wiped out. But that era belonged to the Giants, and after the Black Dragon representing despair entered the Abyss at the universe’s boundary, the Biters of the World Tree devoured the blood and flesh remnants of the dead gods, transforming into indescribable horror monsters that neither the residual Giants nor humans could match.
It was at this time that the Savior suddenly appeared in the ruins of the burned-out World Tree.
Some say she was an incarnation of the three goddesses of destiny, but she claimed to be just a Witch.
The era of the Divine Spirit ended.
The bloodline of the Aesir Race almost ceased, but the Vanir Race’s bloodline was passed down.
The Savior slew most of the Giant Snakes that devoured the World Tree at that time, then retrieved a tender sprig from the root wasteland of the World Tree, and opened up the current world. However, this world doesn’t represent the universe; outside the Chessboard Realm, the world is still the apocalyptic wasteland post-Ragnarok, and the blazing flames on the World Tree have not completely extinguished.
"So..."
"After the previous Space-Time Inspector left, this world was polluted from the outside again?" Su Ziyu thought to himself.
This is already beyond the scope of Su Ziyu’s ability.
If this is truly the world after Ragnarok, then as a Space-Time Inspector, he cannot handle those indescribable horrors; now he just hopes the pollution level isn’t too high, and everything still has a chance for rescue.
The Royal Capital was already in sight.
The population here might be in the tens of thousands, and looking from afar, many pedestrians and caravans could be seen.
The giant eagle landed on a tall tower.
Su Ziyu jumped off the eagle’s back following the two, and soon saw troops of warriors in silver-white full armor. The civilization level of the Chessboard Realm is akin to the medieval era; after all, humans have developed for so many years, and these guards of the Imperial Palace are dressed in exquisitely crafted full armor. Because the Vanir Race’s bloodline is fully mixed with humans, the physical fitness of humans here is very strong.
Occasionally, one could spot figures in fine robes; they are Warlocks, inheriting some of the Vanir Race’s magic.
But they can’t compare to witches; witch’s mana is much stronger.
Nordic Mythology is different from Greek Mythology.
In Greek Mythology, the Divine Spirits are somewhat like politicians, fond of manipulating humans from behind the scenes to fulfill their desires. But in Nordic Mythology, the Divine Spirits are practical, preferring to battle personally, and the Aesir Race is a fervent band of warriors who love drinking, reveling, and fighting bloody battles; the Hall of Heroes accepts only such belligerent individuals.
But now the Hall of Heroes is probably destroyed.
Odin created the Hall of Heroes to face Ragnarok, and now there is likely only a wasteland left.
The Vanir Race fares a bit better; they’re not as belligerent and are skilled in runes and spells, preferring harmonious coexistence with nature, but they’re still weaker than the Aesir Race.
In Nordic Mythology, the existence of the gods is closer to beings with tremendous power.
The White Queen’s palace is extremely magnificent.
Along the way, many guards and maids could be seen; the rules here are quite strict, clearly showing the Vanir Race’s style, as the Aesir Race loves drinking and fighting.
After waiting outside the splendid palace for a while.
Rebecca came to Su Ziyu’s side and said, "Follow me."
"Keep quiet."
This Priestess led Su Ziyu through a long corridor, then into a garden filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, where many butterflies danced among the blooms, and clear spring water flowed briskly. On the exquisite artificial mountain, a few squirrels were frolicking and playing; upon seeing him, they actually started speaking.
"Shh!"
"Look, there’s a human over there."
"He smells like a witch."
"Is he from the Land of the Elf?"
"He’s so dirty."
"I smell the scent of a Biter."
"He’s so dirty."
"Did he bathe in Dragon Blood? I even smell that stench!"
"He’s so dirty."
The group of squirrels chattered away, but when Su Ziyu approached, they all rushed up the trees.
They said a lot.
Involuntarily made Su Ziyu think of the Great Elves in the Dream Forest.
York also mentioned that a little girl and a talking squirrel once came out with Pick, and now he saw a group of talking squirrels, whose words were truly harsh.
No wonder York mentioned it with gritted teeth.
"Go in." Rebecca stood outside a silver-white door and said.
Su Ziyu hesitated for a moment, then pushed the door and went inside.
Soon.
He saw a beautiful woman reclining on a luxurious golden throne. She had a head of beautiful silver-white hair, her expression sultry and lazy, her features extremely delicate, dressed in a sumptuous white court gown, and wore a silver-white crown inlaid with brilliant jewels. She had an exceptionally unique aura, as if she naturally possessed an attractive charm.
Is this the White Queen?
Indeed as beautiful as the legends say, but Su Ziyu didn’t know how to describe it, maybe keeping it simple was best.
So big, so white, so beautiful!
"Do you come from the Land of the Elf?" People outside liked to call the Dream Forest the Land of the Elf; the White Queen glanced at Su Ziyu, casually picked up a rosy-red apple and toyed with it, talking with a playful tone: "Want to eat an apple?"
In a flash.
Su Ziyu’s hair stood on end, and he instantly placed his hand on the hilt of his sword.
