Bab 518: Chapter 518: In the Name of the Gods
Chapter 518: In the Name of the Gods
People always like to prove themselves. Just as Cattleya constantly tried to prove to herself that she had grown up and become an independent adult who no longer needed to be treated like a child.
To oneself, such behavior naturally seems extremely childish, as it is precisely the attitude of someone not yet mature. When you no longer need to prove yourself to anyone or seek anyone's approval, you have naturally grown up.
Were her actions today in the eyes of the Starry Sky similar to Cattleya's?
Not wanting to bow her head and seek help was due to her pride and confidence in her own abilities. But was there not also a desire to prove herself before the Starry Sky?
Bernadette bowed her head and praised the Starry Sky with an even more devout voice.
When that familiar starry sky blossomed in this sky, the whole world seemed to brighten along with it. Stars that had already faded into the depths of the sky enlarged their radiance, as if responding to some call, allowing even those in daylight to clearly see their presence.
"Restart!" The command echoed from the ancient, nearly eternal palace floating silently in the depths of the dazzling starry sky, shrouded in illusory nebulae.
Like an all-seeing eye, it constantly overlooked everything happening beneath the stars.
As this decree roared out from the Hall of Stars, everything around, including the meteor shower about to impact the Rorsted Archipelago, began to reverse. The meteors wrapped in flames that had been streaking across the sky, their pressure already terrifying people below into frantic escape and even driving confused sea creatures to dive deeper into the ocean, now rapidly retreated to their original positions as time seemed to restart.
"Reset to zero!"
The meteor shower silently vanished into the depths of the sky without causing even a ripple.
The time-reversing deity once again revealed an incredible miracle to its believers.
Restart, reset to zero - with just two words, the apocalyptic scene that she had struggled in vain to change was easily resolved.
The power of the Starry Sky became increasingly immeasurable.
At the same time, a strange feeling welled up in Bernadette's heart. It was somewhat similar to when she was young and did ridiculous things to rebel against her father's authority, claiming she was grown up, only to have her father clean up the mess for her.
This almost absurd and blasphemous thought jolted Bernadette back to her senses. When she raised her head again to gaze at the Hall of Stars floating in the sky, the starry expanse was gradually receding, and the Hall of Stars slowly faded from view.
The Starry Sky had no intention of conversing with her.
While this made Bernadette feel relieved, it also caused her to make that absurd association again. Back then, her father had also silently cleaned up all her troubles from behind the scenes, then left as if nothing had happened, only quietly watching over her development from afar.
Strange, I shouldn't have so many stray thoughts today... Bernadette frowned slightly. Soon, she found the reason why her mind was so unsettled.
The Hidden Sage's earlier attack on her had greatly affected her mental state, causing her current flood of distracting thoughts.
Knowing the source of the problem, Bernadette closed her eyes for a few seconds. Her mind became calm and undisturbed once more, regaining its usual wisdom and composure.
There were still many matters she needed to handle now, such as quickly calming the panic among the citizens of the Pirate Kingdom to prevent fear from spreading as rumors.
"This is a miracle, but it is a miracle of the Pirate Kingdom."
Bernadette had already thought of how to deal with the impact of today's anomaly. She would declare in the name of the gods that the Rorsted Archipelago was divinely favored land, and the Pirate Kingdom a divinely favored nation.
And she, Bernadette, was the divinely chosen one who received grace from above, the most legitimate ruler of the Pirate Kingdom.
Her father had once mentioned to her the combination of state and divine authority.
The Kingdom of Loen now seemed to have this tendency, but legally the Augustus family was recognized by the people as the legitimate rulers of Loen, and they had not closely merged with divine authority. They had more of a helpless compromise with powerful divine authority.
What she wanted to do was to use this incident to perfectly combine the Pirate Kingdom with divine authority.
Divine right of kings - this was a state of national politics her father had once proposed.
"I will use the name of the gods to usher in a true Age of Exploration belonging to the Pirate Kingdom!"
Bernadette already had a general vision for the future in her mind.
"Reset, restart... the Starry Sky's condition is getting better and better. The day of its true ascension to the starry sky is not far off." The Lamp Spirit inside the wishing lamp looked up at the sky and uttered a low whisper that only it could hear.
Having successfully resolved this natural disaster, Bernadette put away the wishing lamp and gazed down at the yet unfinished capital of the Pirate Kingdom below.
At this moment, she still possessed the power of a Sequence 1 Knowledge Emperor. She couldn't let this power disappear with the passage of time without using it.
"God, I shall borrow your name again."
Bernadette whispered softly, her fingers moving nimbly as if playing the piano, directing and manipulating all the building materials of the Rorsted Archipelago according to the pre-designed blueprint of the capital.
Since God had already revealed miracles, why not make this miracle even more shocking!
She would complete the construction of the entire capital within today!
In the name of the gods!
Below, in the depths of the forest, Cattleya had already come out of the fairy tale castle. Seeing that the queen had not returned for a long time, and glimpsing the capital construction site not far away where various building materials were flying back and forth in an orderly manner in mid-air, she didn't hesitate and immediately rushed to the capital construction area.
The workers who were originally responsible for the work here were now standing far away, their heads slightly tilted back, watching in amazement as a brand new capital was born.
"Today is truly a day worth remembering," Cattleya heard Ice Marshal Edwina muttering as she rapidly wrote something in a blank diary.
She didn't interrupt, just walked to Edwina's side and glanced at what she was recording.
"December 5th, Friday, a day that will be forever remembered for the yet-to-be-officially-established Pirate Kingdom.
On this day, all the construction workers building the Pirate Kingdom's capital on the Rorsted Archipelago, as well as all nearby people and marine life, witnessed a meteor shower descending from the sky.
This was a massive disaster, capable of destroying the emerging Pirate Kingdom along with the Rorsted Archipelago.
In the moment of greatest peril, a miracle occurred!
The ocean of knowledge blocked the merciless meteor shower, the starry sky shining in broad daylight dispelled the shadow of disaster, and the divine miracle continued.
We all witnessed a magnificent capital being built bit by bit before our eyes without any human labor..."
Cattleya withdrew her gaze and looked back at the continuously building capital, her worry for the queen dissipating.
The gaze of the Starry Sky had already fallen upon them, miracles were manifesting on the Rorsted Archipelago, and the brave and fearless queen would finally establish her own nation.
An unprecedented Pirate Kingdom!
The name Bernadette Gustave would not only shine on the seas but also brilliantly in history.
Thinking of this, Cattleya's gaze became somewhat entranced.
As time passed, when the sun stumbled and fell into the embrace of the sea, gilding the sea surface and paving a golden road, the new capital was completely finished.
Not only did every architectural detail closely match the blueprint design, but even the street lamps lit up one after another.
From the city gate all the way to the depths of the palace, the owner of the capital, the queen of the Pirate Kingdom, slowly descended from the clouds.
After a brief silence, a tidal wave of cheers and praise surged forth. Some pirates even tore open their collars and danced excitedly on the spot, while many others hurried into the capital to touch and look around, trying to convince themselves that the scene before them was not an illusory mirage.
"We should leave too, let's not keep the queen waiting," said Cattleya in high spirits, inviting Edwina to accompany her. The two walked into the capital together, from the city gate all the way to the front of the palace gates.
By now, the sky had completely darkened. The crimson moon had not yet risen over the sea, but the sky was already dotted with stars.
Their positions were exactly the same as the starry sky seen during the day.
On top of the palace gate tower, the noble and elegant Bernadette stood alone, looking down at everyone below.
"Today, the miracle of the Starry Sky descended upon the Rorsted Archipelago, upon our kingdom."
"The new capital has been completed, and a new future is in sight."
"I have heard the will of the gods, and in their name, I will establish a nation where all pirates can find refuge, a maritime paradise for all creatures of the sea."
"On January 1st, the start of the new year, we will hold the founding ceremony of our kingdom."
"The Star Sea Kingdom - this is the name of our new nation!"
