The air in the hall was still filled with the fishy smell of wet earth and the stench of burned limbs, but the man greedily arched his nose and took a few breaths, as if he had just woken up from a long dream that lasted for thousands of years.
His dark eyes were full of confusion, he propped up his body and looked around.
The first thing that caught his eye was the translucent mask with strange symbols drawn on it that fell next to the main entrance of the hall.
As soon as he saw the mask, the memory in his mind became clear and reappeared like a revolving lantern:
He is the youngest son of the ancient god Flegrea, born "Fool" Pathway Mythical Creature, the latter's offspring in order to eliminate the excess Beyonder Characteristic from the body, a "Miracle Invoker" demon wolf.
He grew up in a chaotic and barbaric environment, and the only impression he had of his father was cruelty, bloodthirsty and madness. The other Subordinate Deitys also had more or less similar temperaments. Only "Misfortune Goddess" Amanises fit his aesthetic, but he always hid in the dark and rarely appeared.
During the civil war between the ancient gods, he witnessed the fall of his father with his own eyes. The wolf blood of that powerful ancient god was spread all over Amanises's body, and some of the characteristics that had not been excreted from the body and a certain "Uniqueness" fell into his hands due to the pull of aggregation.
After that, he and a sister escaped from the country of the Magic Wolf Clan, avoiding the pursuit of other God and King of Angel, and finally established a secret country in the uninhabited mountains of the North Continent.
Because God of the Magic Wolf Clan fell, the powerful God who called himself Creator and the humans he favored dominated the world, and the surviving demon wolves became everyone shouting and beating. They did not dare to expose themselves, so they could only carefully collect believers and established "Nation of the Evernight". His sister gradually acquired a body close to human beings under the change of faith of human believers, and he also relied on Kingdom of the Living The coexisting City of the Deceased made the dead believer become Marionette, completing Promotion Ritual, absorbing and accommodating the "Mystic Seer" characteristics left by his father.
During this period, the Demon Wolf siblings all gained a bit of so-called humanity due to the influence of believers, and got rid of the madness they were born with Mythical Creature. Only then did they realize why the ancient gods represented by their father Flegrea were hated by other ethnic groups, and they cherished their current life more and more.
After Great Cataclysm, he turned into a human form, took "Antigonus" as his surname, left Hornacis Mountain Range where "Nation of the Evernight" was, returned to Physical World, and began to contact the human kingdom that had formed an empire and had the help of True God.
What happened to me after that...
Antigonus's mind was a little confused. He instinctively looked away from the translucent mask, feeling that the fragmentation of his memory and cognition was related to it.
By the way, that is Uniqueness of "Fool" Pathway... I cooperated with the human named Alistar Tudor, and with the help of the descendants of God who called himself Creator, we completed the ceremony to accommodate it and became "Half Fool"...
Then... he gradually lost control under the influence of the remaining wills in Sequence 1 Characteristic and Uniqueness and Mental Imprint, and finally lost himself after the "anchor" was damaged...
Thinking of this, he suddenly sat upright from Stone Chair and looked around.
That is the residence He made a wish for after accumulating "wishes". It is a castle built on the top of the highest mountain of "Nation of the Evernight". The once magnificent palace, with countless Marionettes passing through it, was now dilapidated, with walls collapsed and floors cracked. Marionettes he could name were lying staggering on the ground, and some were even in pieces, as if torn apart by explosions.
That was the battle that just happened... Was my awakening because of that battle? What era is it now? Where is my sister?
Countless questions emerged in Antigonus's mind, and he instinctively performed a divination, only to find that his connection with Spirit World had become extremely weak, as if separated by a thick barrier, and his previous ability to use his fingers like an arm had also weakened. Even Spirituality and the accumulated "Power of Wishes" were almost exhausted.
Only then did he notice that along with the mask-like "Uniqueness" leaving his body, there were also the characteristics of "Mystic Seer".
He is now just "Miracle Invoker".
When he realized this, Antigonus felt a lot more relaxed. The last memory before his complete madness still remained in his mind. The "residents" of his Marionette kingdom collapsed into a ball of worms because of the madness transmitted by his body. His sister wanted to help suppress the madness but was taken away from Spirit Body Threads. The entire "Nation of the Evernight" was in dire straits because of his pollution...
Could it be that my sister has already...
Thinking of this, he glanced around again, and suddenly found a slender figure wearing a hood and classical robes appearing in the corner of the previously empty hall.
That familiar outline made Antigonus's heart beat a little faster. He hesitated and asked:
"Sister?"
The hooded woman took a few steps forward, and her face emerged from the darkness, with a beautiful but dull expression. It was the familiar face of Antigonus.
But the first words he spoke made his heart almost stop:
"I am Amanises, and I have your sister in my hand."
"Do you have any ideas about building your own Marionette Town?"
On top of Gray Fog, who presented the living room environment of Daffodil Street No. 2, Angel lay lazily on the single sofa and asked.
"The time is too short, I haven't thought about it in depth, and my 'Miracle Invoker' Potion has just begun to be digested... Of course, I will start writing the operating rules of Marionette Town and some biographies of important people from now on, so that I can start directly..."
Klein sat on the other side of the coffee table and replied softly, with a calm expression but a hint of joy in his eyes.
This is his first chance to surpass Angel and reach the next Sequence first. Of course, he knows that Angel now holds the "Conqueror" characteristic, and Promotion Ritual has also substantially achieved it in this war. He has the opportunity to quickly promote Sequence 1 and surpass him again.
But I don't want this to happen. Well, it's not the point of not surpassing me. The point is that "Conqueror" will make her... Klein shivered, subconsciously sat up straight, and asked as if to change the subject:
"You just said that you saw many rules about Mirror Person on 'Trunsoest Brass Book'?"
Angel was indeed attracted by this topic, nodded and said:
"The first half of the Brass Book book records various underlying rules that maintain the operation of the world, but different contents are displayed each time, and it is impossible to cover them all. It is just the tip of the iceberg... I read it many times and found nothing about 'Mirror Person', so I only have the three articles I saw before Berdan sealed it."
Klein nodded slightly. He also tried to borrow the book composed of "Justiciar" and Uniqueness, and found that the rules he saw were all biased towards "Fool" "Pathway, and reading for a long time will cause the instability of Spirituality and the decline of sanity due to the pollution of Sefirah, eliminating the possibility of relying on "exhaustive" to check all the underlying rules.
Angel saw that he understood this, calmed down and continued:
"Those three rules are:
"1. The Mirror Person formed due to the pollution of City of Calamity is not connected with the Spirituality and memory of the original body. They are regarded as two different independent individuals;
"2. This kind of Mirror Person can also be promoted by taking Potion, but the success rate is only 50% of the original one;
"3. If one of Mirror Person and the main body is successfully promoted, the other one will also synchronize the corresponding status. The main body can block this transmission, but Mirror Person cannot."
"It sounds like the settings of some games... you should know what I mean," Klein said while stroking his chin. Seeing Angel nodding in response, he continued, "For example, if the sanity is reduced to 20%, there will be signs of loss of control, Scholar of Yore The basic success rate of summoning Historical Image is 10%... These numerical rules remind me of the dice of the 'monster' Pathway Uniqueness. If it loses control, it will digitize the surrounding environment and control everything with probability. I'm afraid this is the cold side behind the seemingly chaotic and uncoordinated appearance of the extraordinary world."
Listening to Klein's story, Angel instead thought of the "Mirror Person" Sirio Sauron he met when he went to Trier when he was in Sequence 4.
He claimed that he deceived his body into Mirror World when he was Sequence 5, killed him, replaced him, and was later successfully promoted to "Iron-Blooded Knight", completely turning this identity into his own.
Could it be that the purpose of Mirror Person in killing the main body was not only to avenge the difference in fate between the two, but also to prevent future troubles and prevent the main body from killing his own Mirror Person by taking Potion at will and causing loss of control?
Then, she thought of another question closely related to herself:
If the special Mirror Person can also be promoted by taking Potion, can he let her take "Conqueror" Potion and become Sequence 1 of Red Priest Pathway?
