Lord of Mysteries, God Almighty, Great Old One, Pillar...
Nouns that he had never heard of fell into Klein's ears one after another, making him a little distracted for a moment, and these names that seemed to represent a new level of knowledge kept lingering in his mind.
"... I thought 'God Almighty' refers to the one Old Era, the researcher Grisha who came out of Chernobyl, the one Ancient Sun God brought to this era, and followed his example of creation, calling himself God Almighty Omniscience and Omnipotence..."
Klein murmured, instinctively feeling that it was more than that.
He immediately remembered what Angel had been emphasizing "information that cannot be known without being promoted to Angel" and asked:
"Is this the dangerous 'starry sky' knowledge you mentioned?"
"That's right, you have now been promoted to Sequence 2 and can safely understand these things."
Angel nodded in reply, and then sorted out the content about "Great Old One" and "starry sky" in his mind. Starting from Original Creator's split and sleep, talking about the formation of barriers outside the earth, The Outer Deitys gathered here, waiting eagerly for the barrier to dissipate, Apocalypse to arrive, and finally to the level of "Above the Sequence", and the relationship between True God and Great Old One.
As these powerful and crazy knowledge entered into his brain, Klein's expression uncontrollably turned into surprise, and then sluggishness.
He had made some guesses about the corresponding content before. For example, Ancient Sun God, which has mastered multiple Pathway, is probably at a level stronger than True God. For example, "Mother Tree of Desire", which is hated and boycotted by all the righteous gods and "True Creator" and "Primordial Demoness", may be in a strange position.
But when all the secrets were revealed by Angel, he found that everything was scarier and more desperate than he thought.
"There is another level above Sequence 0, called 'Great Old One', which requires mastering all adjacent Pathway plus the corresponding 'Sefirah'... And this level of 'Outer Deity', there are nine outside the earth...
"If it weren't for the barrier left by Oldest One and Creator, the earth would have been carved up by Outer Deity...
"There is not even a 'Great Old One' on the earth. This is why the gods took the risk of falling and launched a divine war when Apocalypse was approaching. Evernight Goddess and God of Combat, Storm, Blazing Sun and God of Wisdom, even Adam, their purpose is the same...
"No wonder the Seven Gods acquiesced in George III becoming 'Black Emperor'. No matter what his nature is, he at least has the opportunity to become True God, and even go further to increase the combat power of the earth... The competition among other Pathway who do not yet have Sequence 0 will become increasingly fierce, and 'Sefirah' will definitely become the focus of competition..."
Klein The emotional part of the mind instinctively wants to refuse to acknowledge these horrific facts, but the rational part has already accepted everything.
On the one hand, Angel would not deceive him, and on the other hand, "Sefirah Castle" spontaneously resisted the prying eyes of some superior beings after Klein learned the information about Great Old One, Outer Deity, and the names of the nine Outer Deity.
This kind of gaze from outside the barrier was immediately cut off by the power and personality of Sefirah, but it also proved the accuracy of this knowledge.
Taking a long breath, Klein asked with a stiff expression:
"So, Apocalypse refers to when the barrier broke and Outer Deity invaded? So various methods of divination and prophecy point to the time of 1368?
"If, as you said, God moved the Kingdom of God to Astral World to strengthen the barrier at the end of Fourth Epoch, then... will the fall of God of Combat bring this moment to an earlier date?"
"I'm afraid only Gods know this..." Angel said in a dull tone, "But according to previous speculation, Goddess has mastered the 'Death'Z The power of Pathway has defeated 'God of Combat' again this time. It has mastered all the power of Adjacent Pathways, and it should be quite close to the status of 'Great Old One'..."
"Still missing one copy of 'Sefirah'?" Klein seemed to be asking rhetorically, but also seemed to be adding.
"Yes, Sefirah of darkness, Death, God of Combat three Pathway should be the legendary 'River of Eternal Darkness' flowing deep in City of the Dead Calderon," Angel nodded and said, "But that's another problem. Most of the Sefirah required for God to be promoted to 'Great Old One' are sealed in the Western Continent. In our world, there are only some forces that penetrate through, and it is unlikely to meet the conditions for promotion."
"Seal..."
Klein murmured and repeated, remembering that Angel had mentioned this matter before, and asked tentatively:
"Did that 'Blessing of the Primordial Yellow Celestial Worthy' do it?"
"Yes, and He is probably one of the 'Pillar's mentioned by my Mirror Person, alongside 'God Almighty' and 'Mother Goddess of Depravity', with a higher status than the ordinary Great Old One."
Angel explained.
Although she has no direct evidence to prove that one of the personality aspects of Original Creator, "Lord of Mysteries", is Celestial Worthy who has mastered "Sefirah Castle", but combined with Judging from the threat that Ancient Sun God faces from the awakening of "Primordial" and the fact that Sastiel created by his negative emotions calls himself "God Almighty", Angel believes that this possibility is not small.
After all, the only Sefirah that has not been sealed is "Sefirah Castle" from Celestial Worthy, and only "Chaos Sea" controlled by Ancient Sun God, and they are likely to belong to the two Pillar-level Great Old Ones "Lord of Mysteries" and "God Almighty" respectively.
Angel originally thought that this speculation would be denied by Klein. Unexpectedly, after Gray Fog thought for a moment, he actually nodded and said:
"This is very likely... After I got the No Darkness Cross you sacrificed, I tried to divine its origin and saw the Ancient Sun God, and he looked up at me as if he had foreknowledge and shouted 'Lord of Mysteries'...
"At that time, I thought it was a name for a certain power, but now it seems that He believed that the person who used the power of Sefirah Castle to divine Him was the 'Lord of Mysteries'."
This is the fate of being Mr. Klein and Mr. "Fool"... Angel cursed, and then asked worriedly:
"Then He who controls 'Chaos Sea' is in danger of Primordial awakening, will you be the same?"
"I'm probably worse than Him. Now I suspect that the various arrangements for being suspended above Sefirah Castle and then being 'resurrected' at the right time are probably the resurrection methods of 'Celestial Worthy', who used 'Sefirah Castle' to deal with The influence of Adjacent Pathways made me involuntarily choose 'Seer' Pathway, and due to various coincidences, I was quickly promoted, achieving the effect that the higher Sequence is, the closer I am to Him..."
Klein frowned and whispered his worries.
"After taking 'Miracle Invoker' Potion and looking at myself, I found that most of the Potion at this stage had been digested due to the advance acting and the 'miracle' of resurrection from the dead; and the ceremony of 'Scholar of Yore' was also passed naturally because I hung on Grey Mist for a long time... all of this was as if it had been arranged.
"But what makes me feel strange is that after I was promoted to Sequence 2 and completed the qualitative transformation into Angel, he did not initially awaken in my body, and there was not even a trace of awakening. Only the Mental Imprint contained in Beyonder Characteristic itself had an impact on me..."
Speaking of this, he remembered the reminder from "True Creator":
Don't use the attribute promotion that has not been accommodated.
There is no doubt that He is worried that the velvet "curtain" thrown by Gray Fog has not been contained before and contains the spiritual imprint of "Celestial Worthy", which will have a negative impact on me...Klein was thinking, a little curious as to why the evil god and "True Creator" who was also Ancient Sun God's negative personality wanted to help him in this regard.
Doesn't He want "Celestial Worthy" to wake up in my body? Klein has a guess.
With this understanding, he believes that when promoting Sequence 1, it is best to use the characteristics of Zarathus or the "Mystic Seer" that "Half Fool" Antigonus has accommodated, rather than directly using the one in the curtain.
There is no doubt that Zarathus is a better target for "bullying" than King of Angel who owns "Seer" Uniqueness. Klein has already been promoted to Upgrading to Sequence 2, Sefirah Castle has similar combat power to him. With the power of Angel, it is already possible to hunt Archangel, who had previously set up an ambush to catch him.
Thinking of this, he turned his eyes to Angel and found that the other party seemed to have the same idea.
In any case, make all preparations first... You can also ask some existences about "Lord of Mysteries", such as Arrodes who saw my specialness early on, and Seven Lights of the Spirit World... He made up his mind, and the fear in his heart about "Celestial Worthy awakened in my body" finally eased a bit.
In the deep and dark Mirror World, Angel quickly shuttled through the passages, and soon returned to Iris Flower Winery on the outskirts of Backlund.
Because of its relatively remote location, this winery with a large area of vineyards was not affected by the war. The food and self-defense weapons purchased at the beginning of the war also helped the servants and workers of the manor survive the chaotic period and persisted until the end of the war. They even continued to plant and harvest grapes, producing a batch of war-era wine.
Of course, most of the income from the manor has already been disbursed by Angel, part of which is used for charity activities, and part of which is used for the construction of "Dream City" and the maintenance and expansion of the East Borough factory, leaving almost no balance.
Listening to the older butler Ribak reporting on the recent situation, Angel nodded from time to time to indicate for the other party to continue, but his mind had already gone to other places:
Although the siege of Backlund is over, the city has suffered far more damage than rising prices and unemployment. The plant growth caused by the war has turned many areas into virgin forests. The repair time may be measured in months...
After the maritime blockade was lifted, East Borough's factory regained the supply of raw materials. Angel made the industries that Shermane acquired at low prices during the war now have a higher value...
I learned from Leonard that both Dunn Smith and Daly Simone survived the Serenity Church defense battle...
What "True Creator" left behind in Giant King’s Court was actually a copy of Sequence 2's Beyonder Characteristic. His inexplicable generosity made Angel and Klein feel a little guilty for their previous experience of repeatedly opposing "Aurora Order"...
Gathering his thoughts, Angel glanced at Wall Clock in the study, and realized that three o'clock in the afternoon was coming, so he sent away the housekeeper who was reporting on affairs with a thick notebook, and went to sit on the single sofa next to the balcony, waiting for Klein to pull her up Gray Fog.
No, it's the respected Mr. "Fool"...Angel raised the corners of his mouth slightly, silently reminding himself.
After a moment, crimson light surged out, gently surrounding Angel.
