Chapter 390 "Several Nicholas"

"Your Excellency Nicholas, are you... thinking about it?"

Bernardino's spirit body was still sitting in a wheelchair, tilting his head slightly and showing a warm and kind smile to Nicholas.

Nicholas II frowned slightly, but said nothing.

But he still regretted it a little... When he saw Bernardino's remaining spiritual body, he failed to kill him directly.

It's too late now.

Now, the limbs and head of Bernardino's spirit body have been restored - his spirit body has been completely restored.

And after Bernardino's spiritual body was fully restored, he was even able to put pressure on Nicholas II.

This surprised Nicholas II very much.

Most of the superhumans of the golden level are because they have only advanced to gold; but the reason why Nicholas is the golden level is because he has no book of truth, so he can only stop here.

In Nicholas' memory... in the entire civilized world west of the desert, there are fewer than five extraordinary people who can fight against him.

The strongest one among them is the man in the mirror who has successfully conferred gods.

The master of the White Tower of Howling Wind, "The Eye of Time" Michelangelo is recognized as the strongest wizard in the world.

He can directly create artificial life forms (his stone statues), can travel through time at will - see years into the future at a glance, and enter the timeline of the past to change the world.

It's just the spell that he empowered, and it can go back in time to a certain extent. He himself is even more able to enter the "past" to attack enemies who were unaware and therefore defenseless at the time, and then remain invincible.

It can be said that the "eye of lag" is the pinnacle of the wizard's power.

Only in the case of dragging into a long and protracted war, Nicholas in his heyday had the confidence to defeat him - in that memory, Nicholas held the Sage's Stone.

The reason for the short lifespan of the Golden Rank is that if they want to use the power of the element, they must burn their own soul; and the more the power of this element is used, the deeper its awakening depth will be.

But obviously, people can't live after burning out their souls.

Therefore, it is necessary to replenish the soul from nightmares, rituals or various rare spells, or to increase the awakening depth of the elements.

Possessing the Sage's Stone cannot replenish the soul that has been consumed, but it can burn instead of the soul. And the combustion efficiency can be said to be very high——

A sage's stone made by a bronze rank wizard can replace about one-tenth of the soul of a golden rank wizard; and a silver rank wizard can burn almost 50%.

This doesn't just mean that the resource bar has risen significantly.

——This means that the awakening degree of all elements can be easily increased to 100% depth.

In fact, the four elements that Nicholas has awakened have been raised to 100% by him. This is the advantage of the crushing level for ordinary gold-level extraordinary people.

But when he faced Michelangelo, he still had no chance of winning.

This is the strength of Michelangelo.

It was an old man who could play with time and soul.

He is even stronger than the Skeleton and the Robber.

Among the only three gods who were forcibly conferred gods without relying on the book of truth, neither the skeleton man nor the rotten man was actually complete. Husband can only be regarded as a half-god.

And Michelangelo, the man in the mirror, is the first god in the true sense who does not rely on the book of truth and is a perfect god.

Not only is the ritual complete and perfect, but his ritual is also sealed in the distant past - to destroy his ritual, you must travel to the past.

The power that can travel back to the past is in the hands of the person in the mirror.

The only difference between using the book of truth and ritual is that the book of truth exists in the body and is integrated into the soul; while the ritual plate is not only outside the body, but even fixed somewhere.

As long as the ritual is violently destroyed, the false gods who become gods in this way will fall.

For example, the ceremonial plate of Lord Skeleton is the skeletons buried in the Duchy of Mourning Song - as long as these skeletons are dug up and reburied, Lord Skeleton will lose his strength and fall directly.

In this sense, Rufu is even stronger than Duke Bone.

Because his ritual plate has not been completed yet... His power is far less than that of a normal god, and even the saint who has just inherited the holy skeleton can directly confront him.

...so it is very difficult to target him.

After the man in the mirror has accumulated the newly acquired truth for a period of time, he may be able to jump directly to a higher position than the skeleton man and the rotman.

— but Bernardino is different.

There is absolutely no trace of this person in the memory inherited by Nicholas II. Haven't even heard of it.

Originally, Nicholas II thought that this was because Bernardino was not powerful and acted in a low-key manner, so Nicholas had no knowledge of him...

But now that Bernardino's spiritual body has been restored to its integrity, Nicholas II feels a clear and incomparable pressure on him.

——This is not a strength at all with his incomplete soul.

In the previous state, I am afraid that it was accumulating strength, or simply self-sealing.

...This is definitely a life-threatening level of pressure on Nicholas.

This not only made Nicholas II doubt his memory, whether something was wrong.

——Nicholas traveled the world for more than 100 years.

How could I have never heard of such a strong gold-rank superhuman?

Or... Nicholas deliberately erased all memory of Bernardino?

Is it because "Father" he... doesn't want me to have sex with Bernardino?

"If you agree, I'll tell you... secrets about your father and your background."

Bernardino had a mysterious, gentle smile on his face.

He said slowly: "It's something you absolutely don't know and can't recall.

"I could swear. If you don't know about it, you'll regret it one day."

"...Then I know about this, so I won't regret it?"

Nicholas II asked rhetorically.

The old man just smiled and said nothing.

The suave, white-haired youth stared at the old man's spirit body, thinking quietly and silently.

Perhaps, this is a trap.

Perhaps Nicholas didn't want him to know this man.

...but maybe, that's why.

I want, too--

"……I promise you. "

Nicholas II replied: "But one of the raw materials of the Hermetic Sage Stone is the fresh marrow of the wizard. It is not an easy material."

Knowing that this may cause huge trouble, knowing that this may be noticed by Shifu... Even Shifu released his soul just to fish for law enforcement.

But he had a very clear intuition in his heart—

If you don't promise the other party here, you will definitely regret it.

"It doesn't matter."

Bernardino said slowly: "By the way, before you tell me the recipe, I will pay you a friendly deposit. You can also use it as a gift.

"—[How many Nicholas are there]."

The corners of the old man's mouth rose slightly: "You better, think about this matter.

"Think with your heart, Nicholas."
