This question caused a brief silence in the mausoleum, which made Roselle feel a little embarrassed. His face shrouded in shadow changed slightly, and he took the initiative to say:
"Actually, I was just joking. If you are indeed Female Witch, then what Demoness Sect and 'Primordial Demoness' are worried about should happen when you are promoted to Unaging..."
"No," Angel shook his head and said, "My situation is a bit strange. In fact, it's hard for me to tell whether he is a 'male Demoness' or a 'Female Devil Witch'."
Huh? Roselle's expression clearly says this modal particle.
Klein also looked over silently. Although he already knew about this when the two "recognized" each other, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart when he heard Roselle's worry about "Female Witch".
Seeing that he had taken control of the situation, Angel organized his words in his heart and asked Roselle:
"When you 'travelled' to this body, he must have just died, right?"
The latter nodded:
"Originally Roselle died from a fall from a horse during hunting. When I resurrected from him, I couldn't feel the parts below my neck for a few seconds. It was probably the power of 'Sefirah Castle' that was repairing my cervical spine... Fortunately, there were no witnesses at the time, otherwise I should have been sent to the Tribunal of Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun that day."
"That is the power of Miracle Invoker that was advanced in advance. It is considered a temporary 'gift'. If you choose Seer Pathway, you will have to return the 'miracle', but it seems that you will have to continue to owe it."
Klein chuckled and interjected.
Roselle nodded as if suddenly enlightened, seeming to have solved a certain doubt in his heart.
Seeing this, Angel continued:
"The same goes for me. When I was resurrected in a certain basement, my original body had just died after failing to be promoted to 'Witch'. The body had turned into a woman, but some of the contaminated characteristics had been expelled. Spirit Body had also dissipated long ago. This made it impossible for me to choose the Potion Pathway where I was. I could only start as an 'assassin', but it also allowed me to avoid taking responsibility for his crime of murdering many people."
"You have become a woman... so the original one is a male 'Instigator'? You are a woman in mind and soul, but you are a 'male Demoness' in body?"
Roselle concluded.
This made Angel's heart beat a few times quickly. She tried her best not to behave abnormally or look at Klein. Instead, she nodded naturally and continued:
"Therefore, my situation is somewhat different from that of ordinary Demoness. 'Mirror Person' is also a female, not the male Mirror Person that was produced when a male Demoness was promoted. However, whether it was the promotion of Sequence 3 or Sequence 2, the 'Great Terror' you mentioned did not appear."
"This is a 'bug'." Klein glanced at Angel and said with a smile.
Fortunately, neither he nor Roselle noticed the key issue, nor did they notice my gender before "travelling"... That's right, in their view, the body I entered was a female, and the soul should naturally be the same gender. After all, both of them were like this... Even if they wanted to admit that they were once male, physically and mentally male, they couldn't do it in front of this great emperor!
Angel secretly breathed a sigh of relief and laughed in agreement.
Seeing the two of them looking at each other and smiling, the atmosphere became ambiguous. Roselle had an inexplicable illusion that he should be under the car. He twisted his body uneasily and raised a lighter topic:
"In the years since I disappeared, have there been other 'travelers' besides you?"
"As far as I know, there shouldn't be. Apart from your various 'books' and inventions, there are no other products on the market that match our era. Of course, it may be that those time travelers hid themselves well, or starved to death on the streets because you were forcing them to have no way to go."
Klein replied that he was sure that there were only three Spirit Body plus Roselle released by "Sefirah Castle", and the identity of the last one was almost confirmed, but As this senior time traveler said, it is not only Sefirah Castle that makes people come here from Old Era, at least "City of Calamity" sent his Angel.
"Haha, I didn't copy them all. I still left many paths for latecomers, such as 'Cola', science fiction, and applications in electricity."
The emperor, who had already put most of his feet into Sequence 0, defended in a brisk tone, as if discussing an interesting topic with a close friend.
"That's probably because the steam age just entered a hundred years ago, and there is no industrial base for large-scale manufacturing of cheap glass bottles and Carbonated Drink. But I still want to thank you for leaving me a way to make money."
Angel couldn't help but said.
"It seems that Cola made you a lot of money," Roselle nodded, "Coca-Cola or Pepsi?"
He didn't wait for Angel's answer, but only waited for a bottle of ice-cold "Black Bear Cola" that Angel took out of Mirror World.
The hand shrouded in black shadow, with only a vague outline, took the glass bottle, unscrewed the metal cap with bare hands, Roselle carefully brought it to his mouth, took a sip of the brown bubbling liquid, and narrowed his eyes as if remembering.
There was no hiccup...Angel sneered, then returned to the previous topic:
"During your time, or earlier, did you discover the existence of suspected time travellers?"
Roselle sighed with contentment, holding the glass bottle, and answered in a low and hoarse voice:
"I had doubts about Elf King and his tribe, but it was finally confirmed that they were not. Of course, after knowing that this is the earth, the elves who left 'Western Continent' may have inherited a certain degree of Eastern habits... In addition, I suspect that Ancient Sun God is also a time traveler."
"Your suspicions are correct."
Klein nodded.
"Is he really a fellow countryman?" Roselle's tone was a little surprised, but not much. It seemed that a certain guess in his heart was confirmed, "I just said that those religious creations and the surnames of those ancient families are too deliberate, as if they want to He left an important mark in history and announced his existence to those who came after him... It's a pity that he is too far away from this era, otherwise the four of us could have a good gathering... Alas, I don't know how much humanity he still had when he fell, and whether he still remembered his hometown."
You do have a mental resonance with Him... And Ancient Sun God is so humane that he has become "True Creator"... Angel answered in her mind without saying it out loud, because she was not sure whether the evil god composed of negative humanity and crazy and extreme emotions could be considered a complete Ancient Sun God.
As for the other suspected time traveler, "Evernight Goddess" Amanises, Angel and Klein had a tacit understanding and did not mention it.
As a loved one of Goddess, of course you must have this kind of consciousness.
And Angel suspected that this God might have spared some energy to pay attention to what happened on the island in order to avoid the worst case scenario when Roselle really wanted to become the puppet of "Mother Goddess of Depravity".
Thinking of this, she felt a little sympathetic to the situation Roselle was facing at this time and the barely balanced balance of various forces in her body, and then said:
"There may be a chance to get together, but before that you need to solve your own problems."
"If you hadn't come here, I might have almost solved the problem. Nast Solomon's behavior of breaking in here with pollution has significantly aggravated this..."
Roselle smiled to himself and took another sip of Cola.
"Nast? What did he do? Where is he now?"
Angel asked curiously.
This was her Oldest One purpose of breaking into this mausoleum, to find this "King of the Five Seas" who had believed in Outer Deity and was polluted.
"He carries more active pollution in his body and seems to want to integrate into my body, but he seems to have forgotten that I am the real 'Emperor' here."
Roselle chuckled and sneered at the stupid behavior of this descendant of an old acquaintance.
"But in the battle and 'sealing' process just now, I saw a little hope. Only Great Old One can fight against Great Old One. Sefirah may also be able to... Of course, to become Great Old One or control Sefirah is definitely more dangerous than becoming a god, especially 'Sefirah Castle' who has sealed most of the other Sefirahs. Think about it, what would he do if that existence was to be resurrected and worried that other Great Old Ones would appear first to prevent it?"
As he spoke, he looked at Klein.
The latter was silent for a moment and asked confirmingly:
"Seal other Sefirah, so that any True God who wants to become 'Great Old One' can only sit back and watch his resurrection, and even take the initiative to advance this process in order to achieve this before Apocalypse?"
After combining the intelligence of Seven Lights of the Spirit World, Arrodes and Angel, he had already made a guess.
Roselle sighed and said seriously:
"This is a conspiracy. Maybe everything you have experienced is in His plan, and other beings who help you may not care whether it is you or Him who becomes Great Old One.
"My only suggestion is, before you try to be Great Old One, talk to Genie in 'Magic Wishing Lamp'."
Because of the hatred between Celestial Worthy and Genie, He hopes that the other party will be resurrected more than any other God... Klein nodded slightly to express understanding.
Then, Roselle looked at Angel again, and his tone slowed down a lot:
"As for you, I can't give you much advice. We are not 'roommates' after all. But my knowledge and intuition tell me that what Fourth Epoch's 'Death' once wanted to do was correct, but in the wrong order, so he ended up becoming a half-crazy strange existence with some Great Old One power, and almost defeated the North Continent Alliance of Gods."
What Salinger did... accommodate "Red Priest" Uniqueness in the person of "Death", and merge the power of "City of Calamity" and "River of Eternal Darkness"? Angel suddenly thought of the five rules for jumping between Pathway mentioned by Amon's clone, and couldn't help but nodded.
Seeing that both of them accepted his suggestion, Roselle took a deep breath and said with a smile:
"When you become Great Old One, don't forget to take advantage of your brothers."
Then, he was silent for a moment, and his tone became slower:
"If we really can't solve the pollution of 'Mother Goddess of Depravity', destroy this mausoleum and let my Mirror Person inherit everything. In addition to her extreme thinking, she also values everything I cherish... If she can't get rid of the pollution, even the mausoleum will be destroyed together, and a new 'Black Emperor' will be built, so that we can never be resurrected..."
This heavy topic made Angel unable to say anything like "Let Anne switch to Adjacent Pathways" and could only nod silently.
Klein also agreed with a serious expression. As "Fool", he had been planning to kill George III, the "Black Emperor", when he was Sequence 3, and he was already familiar with this kind of thing.
Instead, Roselle put a smile on his face again and said easily:
"Don't be so sad. You can try to rescue me a few more times when the time comes."
"I will."
Klein solemnly replied that he was undoubtedly the greatest favor from Roselle. Both the diaries and Card of Blasphemy provided a lot of help in the initial stage of "Fool", allowing Tarot Club to operate normally and giving him the right direction for his efforts.
"Among my children, Bornova has definitely become Angel now. Ciel would have been dead by now if he had not had an adventure. I hope you can take care of Bernadette. As a father, she is what I am most worried about..."
Roselle was talking nonchalantly. Seeing that Klein was about to speak again, he quickly pointed at Angel and added:
"No, no, I mainly refer to her, not you. I always feel that it would feel awkward if you said 'take care of Bernadette', do you understand?"
Klein, who is well versed in bad memes in the Internet age, said "hmm", and it was difficult for him to adapt to Emperor Roselle's off-the-wall, sometimes serious and sometimes relaxed conversation style.
There is a "Trier" style. No, it should be said that Trier people inherited this style of the emperor... He slandered a few words, and was about to continue to say something, Roselle asked again:
"Finally, I still have to ask for your names. I mean your real names. As for mine, you should have seen it in the diary, Huang Tao."
"Angel, Angel Gray."
Angel said calmly.
"Hey, you are really a fellow foreigner..." Roselle said with emotion, "I won't ask you which country you are from. When you get here, everyone is the same."
As he said that, he looked at Klein again.
"Zhou Mingrui." Klein also answered immediately.
"I remember everything." Roselle's dark figure leaned back, clinging to the back of the chair, and continued, "I can see that your relationship is closer than I thought. This is good. It allows you to have a real sense of belonging in this world. I didn't feel this way until Bernadette was born. Before that, I treated this world as a game, and I was the well-deserved protagonist. I had a lot of fun and felt very excited..."
Leonard thought the same way when Tingen... Angel could hardly hold back his serious expression and almost laughed.
Roselle sighed and admitted frankly:
"Unfortunately, in the end I discovered that life is not a game, and I am not the protagonist...
"By the way, I almost forgot to remind you, be careful of the 'Mother' card in Card of Blasphemy. Combined with the authority represented by the power of 'Primordial Moon', which is also the power of 'Mother Goddess of Depravity', I suspect that this was the purpose for which He prompted me to make this deck of cards."
I almost forgot... Is he still under the influence of "Mother Goddess of Depravity" pollution? Klein thought with some worry, nodded and said:
"I'll pay attention."
"That's good... there's nothing else I can do to help you. I wish you happiness. "Roselle said with some regret, "I hope there will be a time when we can meet again."
Knowing that they had stayed in this mausoleum for too long, the two of them stopped trying to keep the emperor who looked a little tired, so as not to affect his ability to fight against the pollution in his body. Klein's Paper Figurine lit up with bright yellow flames from its feet and quickly spontaneously ignited into ashes. Angel's figure also gradually faded, like a shadow in the mirror.
She took one last look at the emperor on the high platform, bowed slightly as a farewell, and then disappeared into the shadows.
The interior of the empty mausoleum built of dark stones fell into silence, except for the shadow of Roselle lingering looming in Iron Black Seat on the high platform.
At the edge of the island, Angel left Mirror World and came to the captain's room of "Dawn", where he saw Anne and Bernadette Gustav waiting here.
The latter had already satisfied the Promotion Ritual of "Sage" by preventing his father from being completely contaminated by "Great Mother" and becoming a puppet of the evil god. He took this opportunity to take Potion and became the real Angel.
Of course, in this process, like all Sequence 3 who tried to be promoted to Angel, she encountered the influence of Mental Imprint within Beyonder Characteristic, which turned into an invisible flow of information, forming a When she became her complete Mythical Creature Form, "Hidden Sage" also tried to exert influence on her, trying to contaminate the new Angel of "Mystery Pryer" Pathway.
Fortunately, the level of "Catastrophe" that was blocked this time was extremely high, and the effect of the ceremony was excellent. In addition, Mr. "Fool" provided her with some help, so she was able to reluctantly use "Admiral of Stars" and " The prayers of Element Dawn" and other subordinates served as anchors to stabilize his own state. He did not become a complete information creature during the promotion process, but Reassembly transformed his body and truly became "Sage".
According to the agreement she made last time when she accepted Hypnosis and forgot the relevant memories, Angel once again told the other party the knowledge vaguely called "starry sky" between "Outer Deity" and "Great Old One", so that she could have a clear grasp of the problems facing the world and the truth of "Apocalypse".
It also let her know what kind of existence her father was facing and how much effort he had made to prevent Outer Deity from invading.
"It turns out that what he has been facing is an existence more terrifying than Sequence 0's True God. It turns out that he became extreme and crazy in his later years because of the pollution of 'Mother Goddess of Depravity'... It turns out that he is still the same person..."
After listening to Angel's selective narration of the conversation that took place in the mausoleum, Bernadette sat at the round table in the captain's cabin, and Spirituality's blue eyes, which had not yet calmed down, became moist again.
Cry, cry, it will help you maintain your "humanity"... Angel murmured and gently held the other person's hand.
Anne also sat aside and fell into silence. After a moment, he suddenly asked:
"Where is Nast? Didn't he break into the tomb? I didn't see him again on the island or in the tomb."
"His attempt to bring new pollution into the mausoleum and activate the part in Roselle's body has been sanctioned by the 'Emperor'."
Angel explained.
In the mausoleum, there were only vague shadows lingering on the seats on the high platform.
Suddenly, the human features on the shadow's face faded, and several blood-red cracks spread out, crookedly forming two eyes and a mouth, and a substance-like blood-colored light lit up inside.
Roselle turned his head and looked at the corner of the mausoleum. The shadow that originally existed there gradually dispersed, revealing the figure inside.
That was actually "King of the Five Seas" Nast Solomon who broke into Rosell's Mausoleum before!
The latter's expression was still a little confused at this time, as if he had just left some kind of seal and was not clear about what happened before. His eyes moved around and quickly locked on Emperor Roselle on the high platform. His expression was half panic and half excited. He bent down and performed the aristocratic salute of Intis, and said loudly:
"Thank you for your visit, Your Majesty the Emperor, it is a great honor for me. But there are still some uninvited enemies on your island. I hope you can..."
"They have left," Roselle's cold, serious voice came from the bloody crack that represented the mouth, "Nast Solomon, I remember you, what is your purpose here?"
His words were like an invisible hand that pressed Nast's waist lower. The latter did not dare to take a breath. He only felt that he was facing a real God, so he hurriedly replied:
"I bring 'Great Mother' an offer, a deal that will get you out of this situation.
"It will be secured by the great 'Uncertain Mist'."
The shadow of Roselle on the high platform seat fell into silence, its already blurry outline swaying uncertainly.
After a moment, his bloody lips opened again:
"Tell me what the deal is."
