Chapter 1055 - 505: [The Great Silence] and Steve’s Whereabouts (2)
Only when ensuring the authenticity of the information can all subsequent conjectures be true.
It’s like doing research; if the initial premise is wrong, then all the subsequent inferences would likely not hold true.
["I suggest you still believe it."]
During Herbert’s contemplation, Nenasha positively affirmed the authenticity of the information and explained:
["To some extent, the dream in Belinda’s mind can be regarded as a ’precognitive dream’, a special form of prophecy."]
Another prophecy.
Though Herbert didn’t want to believe such whimsical things, prophecies in this world are very credible, leaving him with no choice but to believe.
After contemplating for a moment, Herbert had no choice but to accept and turned to ask:
"What... exactly is it?"
Herbert had been curious about what kind of creature Belinda was, but out of instinctive caution, he had never explored or actively investigated her race.
Now that he found her so mysterious, Herbert naturally became even more cautious, restraining his desire to explore further.
About this, Nenasha told Herbert that he was overthinking it—hey, even if you check, you won’t find anything~
Not to mention Herbert, even Nenasha hadn’t figured out what Belinda truly was.
All she could say was that she indeed hadn’t felt any dangerous aura from her; upon contact, she didn’t feel any uneasy intuition.
Most importantly, she didn’t sense any handiwork of other divines on Belinda, if anything, certain auras seemed more like her own... hey, truly weird.
But the Mist Mountain Range itself is a shattered Divine Kingdom of Nenasha, so it’s perfectly normal for the bizarre things here to be associated with her.
It’s better to say that if there’s no connection at all, that would be rather strange.
"So you’re the source of all this oddity!"
Herbert couldn’t help but quip, but the Harmonious God not only didn’t feel ashamed but was rather proud.
["Haha, of course!"]
Regarding such a situation, Herbert naturally wasn’t going to give up easily and continued to repeatedly question on other matters.
However, amid the "don’t know this, don’t know that" responses, he finally resignedly accepted the reality.
Ultimately, Herbert, who hadn’t asked anything out, didn’t trouble Belinda, refraining from further questioning, letting her leave on her own.
And Belinda bore no discontent toward Herbert throughout, cheerfully jumping into the pool and started soaking again, gurgling.
After the cheerful little egg submerged, Herbert stayed in place, deeply gazing into the distance as his sight fell further into the thick mist.
"The Great Silence..."
A moment later, Herbert withdrew his gaze, and the restless aura on him completely calmed down.
["Aren’t you worried?"]
Nenasha seemed surprised at Herbert’s ability to recover quickly and curiously asked: ["To me, this isn’t a trivial matter, aren’t you worried about that ’Silence’ suddenly coming out?"]
"Don’t kid me, don’t you know what I’m thinking?"
["Oh, dear, I don’t know~"]
"Ha."
Herbert rolled his eyes at Nenasha’s idle antics, refusing to believe she couldn’t guess his thoughts.
She asked purely from idleness, forcing him to say aloud.
But then, what else can be done?
The Harmonious God he chose himself, blame no one else, still have to pamper it.
"Of course I’m worried, but just worrying doesn’t achieve anything, does it?"
Herbert’s lips twitched slightly, saying calmly: "It has no meaning to panic now; finding a solution is what’s crucial."
Though this enormous crisis heightened Herbert’s vigilance in exploring the Mist Mountain Range, things not yet definite don’t warrant making him restless and anxious.
There’s a ticking bomb deep within the mountain range, but so what?
Should I cry?
Encounter a problem, solve the problem, as simple as that.
["Great! So brave! As expected of our cute and smart little Herbert!"]
"So, all this foreplay was just to say that?"
["Oh, hey~ Wasn’t I looking for a chance to praise you~"]
"Ha."
After satisfactorily teasing for a while, Nenasha’s tone returned to normal, softly saying: ["Herbert, you temporarily don’t have to worry about this matter."]
["Although I don’t know exactly what Belinda’s ’Silence’ is, even I can’t figure out what she truly is, yet my intuition tells me that as long as it doesn’t involve the core of the Abyss, things won’t go wrong."]
"Even you don’t know?"
Herbert furrowed his brow deeply, surprised that even she had no clues.
["No, I don’t know, after all, I’ve lost the control over the Divine Kingdom; over the years, what might emerge from the fragmentary divine essence, not even I can be certain."]
Divinity is the most unpredictable yet creative thing in this world, with souls following closely.
Divinity possesses all possibilities.
Herbert thought for a moment, suddenly asked uncertainly: "You think, could that Silence be your body?"
If anything in the Mist Mountain Range had the highest authority, it should indeed be Nenasha herself.
In the end, why not suddenly emerge a "Fragmented body of Nenasha" or something?
Am I to fight the fragmented sacred body?
Whether I can defeat it is one issue, whether I can bring myself to strike is another.
["Then you’re thinking too much~"]
Nenasha directly denied Herbert’s bold guess, calmly saying: ["Such a thing cannot happen; in this regard, you can rest assured."]
["I am me, there won’t be another me."]
["Even if there is, that wouldn’t be the true ’me’, you can go all out."]
She chuckled, playfully saying: ["No, I insist you go all out~ You wouldn’t want me to change character, right?"]
Herbert thoughtfully imagined that situation, his lips twitching slightly, he silently nodded.
"Indeed."
He wasn’t worried about losing Nenasha but felt that if he had to win her over once more... just the thought is exhausting.
"Now, hmm, it’s quite good."
I truly don’t want to go through that again!
["Isn’t it~ I’m so great! You’re lucky to have my admiration, savor it!"]
Nenasha hadn’t guessed Herbert’s thoughts, still complacently volunteering: ["I’m really great, I can help you with anything."]
"Oh, everything’s possible?"
Upon hearing such boastful flaunting, Herbert intended to suppress her arrogance by asking whether she could turn into a soft-hearted catgirl.
However, Nenasha certainly didn’t give him this chance, simply saying: ["Of course, if you have a problem, just come to me for help, right? Is finding someone so difficult?"]
?
"Uh, are you talking about Stephen’s matter?"
["Yes, why bother to gather information all around, isn’t it simpler to directly divine?"]
"Divine?"
Herbert always felt he frequently heard [prophecy] echoing in his ears, which piqued his interest.
"Can I do prophecy too? Do I have the talent?"
["No, none, absolutely none, your talent in this area is downright disastrous, seemingly at odds with the fate river!"]
"Ah?"
Nenasha also empathized deeply, she had long noticed Herbert’s physique was incompatible with prophecy, thus had never mentioned it to him.
"So you mean to say..."
["You can’t, but I can!"]
Nenasha triumphantly said: ["As long as you use my body, you can easily make some prophecies, just like sensing Kathy’s summon before."]
To prove her excellence, Nenasha wasted no more words and directly took over Herbert’s body, raising her hand to grip her own "body", taking him directly into the prophetic state.
Buzz—
Herbert had no time to quip otherwise, allowing her to lead him into a brand-new state, as if countless forked paths appeared before his eyes, and yet could only see one.
A moment later, Herbert slowly opened his eyes, feeling somewhat disoriented, he shook his head.
"Why do I feel..."
He bewilderedly looked up again, gazing deeper into the Mist Mountain Range, raising an eyebrow, uncertainly said: "Stephen, he seems to have returned?"
["Indeed, that mortal has indeed returned already."]
Even Nenasha was surprised by the prophetic result, strangely saying: ["But he isn’t here, rather..."]
["In a deeper place."]
