Chapter 1481 The Truth
Seven large rune fragments were suspended around Heather, slowly rotating with him as the center.
The blazing fire of the Star-Forging Furnace burned these Great Runes, melting them bit by bit.
While recasting the Great Rune, Heather secretly sensed the surroundings, but did not find anything unusual.
Or maybe this darkness and silence itself is the biggest anomaly.
It's strange. Logically, the Eternal Queen Marika and Radagon should be hiding inside the golden tree, so why didn't they make any movement when they saw the seven great runes appear?
If you don't come out quickly, this thing will be mine after I use the Great Rune to repair the Elden Ring.
In the dark and silent endless space, seven large runes of different colors and shapes stopped spinning, and under Heather's control, they floated in front of him and joined together.
The flames forged the Great Runes, and the weapon concept glued the cracks between the Great Runes.
Sure enough, only by coming inside the golden tree can the magic ring be truly repaired, because this is where the magic ring was once broken.
And after actually starting to repair the magic ring, Heather discovered that in fact only one Great Rune was needed to repair the magic ring, but the effect was very different.
According to Heather's understanding, the Elden Ring is actually the material entity of the Golden Law. Marika smashed the ring, causing problems with the Golden Law at the border, and the cycle between life and death was interrupted.
If he could completely recast the magic ring and make it his own, then the Star Sea Ark would also get the most important piece of the puzzle and directly advance to a life tool.

Suddenly, Heather keenly heard a slight crisp sound coming from above her head.
Looking up, he was surprised to find that a huge golden rune arc had appeared above his head at some point, and this arc was like a prisoner that fixed a broken figure on it.
Heather couldn't help but whistle when she saw the figure clearly, because it was a blonde woman with an extremely graceful figure. Her hands were nailed to the two ends of the arc like Jesus Christ, her head was drooping weakly, her long blonde hair fell down, and she only had a long skirt tied around her waist.
There were many cracks on her body, as if her body was made of ceramic and was violently shattered by some external force.
The most noteworthy thing was the fiery red illusory spear in her abdomen, which pierced her directly.
Seeing the blonde woman, Heather immediately understood her identity - the deity of the borderland, the Eternal Queen Marika.
At this moment, the Rune Arc that imprisoned Marika was constantly breaking, making crackling sounds.
Finally, the arc completely shattered, and Marika fell to the ground.
The ground? Heather remembered that she was floating in the air just now. When she looked down, she found that she was standing on the solid ground, but it was still dark and silent around her.
Heather looked towards Marika, raised her hand and clenched it into a claw towards Marika, then slowly clenched her five fingers together.
The scarlet spear that had pierced her body immediately began to hum, and after holding on for a few seconds, it could no longer defy the master of the weapon and turned into specks of red light and dissipated.
As the spear disappeared, Marika, who had been lying on the ground like a dead object, suddenly moved, and slowly climbed up with the help of the ground.
The broken marks began to repair, the faded coat gathered on her body again (Heather: Tsk! Repaying kindness with enmity?), and a golden laurel wreath appeared on her head.
She is perfect in both appearance and figure. She is a perfect woman who can only be described as a 'goddess'.
Marika slowly opened her eyes, revealing her golden eyes. She first touched her pierced abdomen in confusion, then looked at Heather with a look of realization on her face:
"Ah, Great Selector, thank you for your mercy."
Heather then noticed that Marika's blonde hair was braided into two braids, but one of the braids was noticeably shorter.
He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't try to get close to me. Although you are indeed my type, I have a wife."
As he said this, he pointed to the seven runes in front of him that were being burned by the fire of the Star Forge Furnace and said, "Your magic ring will soon belong to me. Don't you want to take it back?"
Unexpectedly, Marika just smiled and shook her head:
“If you can take it away, that would be great.
In truth, the Elden Ring is now completely yours, Selector.
Just please be careful, when the Elden Ring is completely repaired, the Beast will return.
Until then, please pay attention to the Supreme Will."
Heather raised her eyebrows. "It seems that your smashing of the Elden Ring was not a sudden event... Did you plan it in advance?"
Heather thought that she would have a big fight with Marika and Radagon after breaking into the golden tree, but she really didn't expect Marika to have this look and attitude.
He narrowed his eyes slightly. "You deliberately destroyed the Golden Law that you created. Even the Night of the Black Knife was planned by you. Your so-called beloved eldest son, 'Golden Godwin', died because of you, right?"
Marika's smile faded, and she was silent for a long time before responding:
"……Yes."
"reason?"
“I didn’t actually create the Golden Rule, but it guided me to establish it step by step.
That is the law that the finger hopes to see, and even I was deceived into thinking that the Golden Law is the most perfect law in the world.
But when I looked at my own cursed children, I began to wonder—is the Golden Rule really perfect?
In other words, is the Crucible really a filthy, cursed force as Two Fingers said?
Is the Supreme Will really significantly different from those Outer Gods like the Scarlet Goddess of Corruption and the Invisible Mother of Truth?
Even if I become a god, I still won't be able to figure out these questions.
Soon, new problems arose.
Godfrey, my love, he loyally fights for me against all beliefs and factions that oppose the power of the Golden Tree.
I responded to him with sincere love, hoping to move towards an eternal and beautiful future with him.
But slowly, I found a whole new consciousness sprouting in my body.”
"Radagon?" Heather understood immediately: "You and Radagon are not the same kind of people."
“Yes, Radagon thought he was an independent, living person. He was born with extremely powerful strength and was instilled with false memories by the Finger.
This is a conspiracy by the Finger, they want to push Radagan to the top.
In order to prevent Godfrey from being murdered by the Finger, I must deprive Godfrey and his warriors of their blessings and drive them away from the border area, away from this troubled place.
Then, I used the mimicry veil to create a false image in the royal city. The real me had actually lost control of my body to Radagon. He was active in the war and gradually became a red-haired hero.
I found that Radagon actually does not have the emotions that a normal human being should have. He is like a living puppet, trying his best to imitate every move of a human being. He wants to be the most outstanding human being, that is, a 'hero'.
To this end, he sought out the most outstanding woman in the border area at that time besides me, the Full Moon Queen.
After using his sweet words to confuse the Queen of the Full Moon, he tried his best to play the role of a good husband. Oh, how ridiculous, he even brought a lot of belongings to Kalia Castle, and among the belongings was even my golden sewing needle! That was clearly the sewing needle I used to sew clothes for my children by hand!"
Everqueen Marika looked furious:
"After having three children with the Full Moon Queen, he began to get tired of this boring life as the 'King's Wife of Kalia' and thought that he could never become the best hero in the Borderland.
Then, Radagan set his sights on me, wanting to obtain the most exalted goddess of the borderland. The fool didn't even realize at this time that I was one with him.
And this is exactly what the Finger wants to see. They don't want a King Elden like Godfrey who is only loyal to me. They want a puppet king who obeys them completely.
I, I can't resist the finger. Even though I have become a god, the [beast] is eyeing the border area covetously. I can only pretend to be nice to them.
Radagon embraced my illusion as he wished, and we were one, but in a split way we gave birth to Michaela and Malenia.
What makes me sad is that although these two children are very strong, they are also entangled in different shortcomings.
As Radagon existed longer and longer, he became more and more powerful, and I could no longer suppress him.
If this continues, not only my children, but the entire border area will become a plaything of fingers.
I thought about it for a long time and finally figured it out. If I want to defeat the finger, I have to destroy the golden rule with my own hands.
Then, I…”
Marika bit her lip and said in a trembling voice:
"I have found my best son, Godwin.
I need him to lay down his life for me.
And he agreed without hesitation.”
