Touched by Angel's gaze, the picture "Card of Blasphemy" depicting Emperor Roselle in women's clothing with a rather funny expression revealed a faint Deep Purple light and turned into an illusory book.
Inside, pages of paper with "Assassin" and "Witch" written on them and exquisite illustrations of Roselle fluttering, finally stopped at the page of "Despair."
A woman Roselle wearing a long silk skirt, holding black flames in her hands, and a look of despair appeared in front of Angel, and the corresponding formula and ritual below gradually emerged:
"... Mainly rely on one's own strength to kill a Demigod or equivalent Beyonder Creature, and take Potion in his despair before death."
Seeing the method that was completely different from the ritual used by Helene when he was promoted, Angel looked a little dazed.
"The ritual that Helene received from Hella Berg caused more than 30,000 people to be involved in the plague and take Potion in their despair... This is essentially the same as the ritual on the 'Demoness' card, but one relies on a large number of ordinary people to form desperate emotions to anchor themselves, and the other uses Demigod, which has divinity in itself...
"You can't say which one is wrong. After all, I succeeded, Helene also succeeded... and Hella Berg, that is, 'God of Wisdom' Herabergen will not let Helene, who has been approved by 'Salinger’s Blood Banner', die in Molora. This is not in line with his purpose of giving me the information of '0-01'...
"In this way, I asked Helene to go to Him with the Beyonder Characteristic of 'Despair' Demoness. He will definitely predict all this, prepare the correct ritual in advance, and provide the corresponding Auxiliary Materials... So, the 'Demoness' card in my hand records the ritual of Error?
"The promotion of 'Affliction' was relatively smooth. Affliction survived being burned by fire for a quarter of an hour. It also anchored itself with Affliction to avoid losing control.
"But..."
With his thoughts flowing, Angel turned to the next page of the illusory book, and his eyes stayed on the "Unaging" Demoness Promotion Ritual that appeared under the women's clothing Roselle that looked much younger:
"After a long period of time, I take Potion with a different mentality than my age."
This ritual requirement requires almost no deliberate preparation for Angel, because she herself is a "Great Old One remnant" from ancient times, the mystery has just been revived, and the old world has not yet been destroyed. Her memory and mentality are naturally incompatible with her young body.
Therefore, she digested "Despair" at that time, gathered the characteristics and materials, and directly prepared Potion to take. Relying on her long memory to stabilize herself, she withstood the erosion of the remaining Mental Imprint in Beyonder Characteristic, and successfully promoted to "Unaging" Demoness.
"No, I actually had some accidents at that time, and I was almost swallowed by the cold touch, and 'Mirror Person' helped me, calmed my emotions, and allowed me to successfully integrate the memories of the previous life with the self of this life, so that I would not lose control...
"Did something go wrong with this ceremony that I initially thought was almost custom-made for me, but ended up with twists and turns?"
With the same question as before, Angel looked at the Promotion Ritual of "Catastrophe" Demoness, which was also the one she completed recently.
"Catastrophe that creates "Complete Area" that spreads across an entire concept, subdues Potion when it reaches its peak."
She had already fulfilled this requirement when she prevented George III from becoming a god and created Catastrophe in his "Black Emperor" mausoleum that destroyed an entire area. Moreover, since it involved a being who was about to become a god, the area was sealed off by the authority of "Distortion", so the effect was quite good.
... So good that Angel almost felt some trace of being "arranged".
Of course, it was Angel's own choice to stop George III, and the initiative to attack "Ruins No.1", the main tomb where George III became a god, was something she took the initiative to realize after being reminded by Bernadette that this matter could be part of the ritual. If someone "arranged" it, it would at least be someone who could influence her thinking and all preparations for George III to become a god...
"Angel of Imagination"Adam?
A face with blond hair and golden beard and clear eyes suddenly appeared in his mind. Angel's expression changed. He shook his head involuntarily and looked around. He realized that this was the depth of Mirror World and was located near "City of Calamity", so he felt at ease.
"If it is He who 'arranged' everything, it makes sense. After all, George III also had His help in becoming a god, and my 'time travel' has almost always been under His arrangement..."
Angel murmured, his hands and feet felt a little cold, as if he had returned to the day when he learned the "truth" that he did not really exist.
Taking a deep breath, she continued to flip through the illusory book and looked at Promotion Ritual of "Apocalypse" Demoness:
"Promoted at the end of an era or the beginning of the next era; promoted during the harbinger and process of the coming of Apocalypse; promoted when participating in something that led to the fall of a God. Choose one of the three, all are valid."
This is a ritual requirement that Angel has never seen before. It is not difficult, it can even be said to be a bit simple, because you only need to choose one of the three conditions, rather than completing them all.
And... according to many prophets, Apocalypse is approaching, with less than 18 years to go, and it can almost be said to have entered the "harbinger" stage; and if the world will be destroyed by Apocalypse, then it has naturally come to the end of Fifth Epoch.
Except that God died in the incident involving Angel, two of the three conditions have been met. As long as she gets Beyonder Characteristic of "Apocalypse" Demoness and completes the role of "Catastrophe", she can be promoted to Sequence 1 at any time.
It's a pity that all three copies of Sequence 1 Characteristic are in "Primordial Demoness"... Angel curled his lips and no longer tried to confirm the authenticity of this ceremony. Instead, he turned to the last page and found the description of Sequence 0 under the image of Chaos with face and attractive figure Roselle:
"Sequence 0: Demoness, also known as Primordial Demoness, Chaos Demoness. He is the source of Catastrophe, the symbol of Apocalypse, Demoness of Wielding Chaos, and Master of the Mirror World, corresponding to the feminine side of Original Creator.
"Potion formula: three parts of 'Apocalypse' Beyonder Characteristic, 'Demoness' Uniqueness.
"Ritual: Use the power of 'Chaos' to give birth to your own divine kingdom in nothingness that corresponds to reality."
How could the ceremony for Sequence 1's promotion to Sequence 0 involve God's "Kingdom of God"?
If the ritual is correct, is this why "Primordial Demoness" is also known as "Chaos Demoness"? Is it the source of His "Chaos" authority?
Angel understands the concept of "Kingdom of God" and knows that this is a unique space that is unique to God and opened up with its own corresponding authority, such as Evernight Goddess's "Darkened Heaven" and Lord of Storms's "Storm Abyss".
When Fourth Epoch God was still walking on the earth, these kingdoms of God had corresponding areas in reality, separated only by an illusory door from Physical World. It was not until Pale Calamity, God moved the kingdoms of God to Astral World one after another, that the corresponding areas became the headquarters of the church, and there was no concept of "Kingdom of God".
But this should all be a space opened up after God became a god. Does Sequence 1 have this ability? Isn't this some kind of "arrangement" again... After Helene completed his promotion through the "correct" rituals, Angel instinctively became suspicious of the various rituals on the "Demoness" card.
However, the "Red Priest" card obtained from City of Calamity is exactly the same as the other Card of Blasphemy left behind by the evil spirit "Red Angel" when he hurriedly escaped. This made Angel's doubts about the ritual spread to Emperor Roselle who left the entire set of Card of Blasphemy.
"It's not difficult to verify the authenticity. 'Red Priest' can be confirmed by the evil spirit Sauron. He became Sequence 1 at Fourth Epoch, and even planned to become a god. You must know the corresponding rituals, and 'Demoness' can ask Katarina or Wensa to get all the correct rituals before being promoted to Angel..."
After making up his mind, Angel put away the Card of Blasphemy, which he didn't know was true or false, and turned to think about the impact of the "City of Exile" situation that he had been following for the past two months on himself.
Although "Salinger’s Blood Banner" continues to be sealed in Underground Mausoleum of Molora, Helene, the "agent", gives her power and controls Angel of City of Calamity can borrow the personality of this "Red Priest" Uniqueness to a certain extent, and use the power that will not allow it to completely wake up and get rid of the seal.
And Angel, taking advantage of the opportunity of the god "Primordial Demoness" to descend and leave, has controlled the Special Mirror World around Molora Underground Mausoleum through City of Calamity, leaving behind several mirrors contaminated by the power of Sefirah.
As long as the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" Herabergen agrees, Angel can indirectly use the relationship with the "actor" Helene to lend "0-01" to the outside world in the form of "mirror projection" through Special Mirror World.
This does not involve the problem that Mirror World cannot copy "Uniqueness", because the borrowed power is the power of "Salinger’s Blood Banner" itself, which is only transmitted through Mirror World.
Just like I put "Sword of Glory" on Partis's Underground Memorial Hall, and then transferred the power to Molora through the mirror, suppressing Divine Descent Vessel Lisa's "Petrification" has the same power... Angel thought, raising his right hand forward, Spirituality spread, sensing Molora's mirror placed inside Special Mirror World at a distant location.
Surrounded by them, Blood-stained Flag, which was in darkness and absolute silence, suddenly floated, with invisible and colorless flames igniting all around. It had an instinctive resistance to this user who had a certain mystical similarity with his "agent", but whose aura was somewhat different.
But the next second, it sensed the familiar power of "City of Calamity". The fluttering flag slowly fell, still a little dissatisfied, but no longer retaining its own power.
If there is another force representing death, Eternal Sleep, that continues to suppress it, this "Red Priest" Uniqueness may not surrender so easily, but will show the symbol of "war". No matter who tries to control it, they must fight first and compete!
Like an unattended wild child... Angel chuckled secretly, holding his right hand empty and retracting it. Among the squirming Mirror World in front of him, the blood-stained flag hanging on the iron-black flagpole slowly appeared, and the surrounding area was suddenly filled with the atmosphere of war and destruction.
Even "City of Calamity" in the fog below seemed to feel something. The fog suddenly deepened and spread to the location of Angel, as if to wrap up and accommodate this translucent flag with a somewhat illusory outline.
Snap, the mirrored object was finally completely fixed, and was held in Angel's hand. The flag stained with countless dangerous dark red blood spots fluttered in the wind, making a hunting sound above Angel's head.
At this time, she was like a general holding a battle flag, a "Red Priest" of war.
On the last Monday of June, crimson lights flashed through the palace in Gray Fog.
All members of Tarot Club gathered again for a regularly scheduled meeting.
