Another Outer Deity? Is it also the existence of the personality "Great Old One"?
Then there are nine more Outer Deity who covet the earth outside the barrier? The entire "Vortex" plan, in addition to catching "Primordial Demoness", the most important thing is to knock out the "Uncertain Mist" node that can integrate the Outer Deitys, so that they cannot cooperate sincerely, but now...
Angel, who had pieced together the complete process of "Vortex" from Klein and Gray, was a little surprised and a little disappointed and asked:
"Who is 'Great Old One'?"
"The eldest daughter of 'Mother Goddess of Depravity', 'Goddess of fate', is also one of the most powerful 'Great Old One' in the universe."
Bethel said in a strange, not pious, but detached tone.
Another daughter of Outer Deity? It sounds very special... Wait, according to legends and history, and Seven Lights of the Spirit World's "popular science" about Klein, weren't all Great Old One formed when the "Original Creator" created the universe? Does this "Goddess of fate" belong to Second Generation God? Similar to the relationship between "Ancient Sun God" and Amon?
As if by mistake, Angel asked a question that made him regret a little:
"Then who is his father?"
"You asked about the key point," Bethel smiled slightly, his tone turning into a joke as if talking about privacy, "'Goddess of fate's father is 'Original Creator'."
Isn't this still something that fell from "Original Creator"... No, "Mother Goddess of Depravity" and "Goddess of fate" are both the children of Original Creator, but they have a mother-daughter relationship... A flash of lightning flashed through Angel's mind, and he asked dumbly:
"Could it be that 'Original Creator' first created Mother Goddess of Depravity, and then gave birth to Goddess of fate with him?"
"Excluding those who died, except for the three special Great Old Ones, almost all Great Old Ones in the universe were born in this form."
Bethel replied with emotion, looking up at the ceiling.
Klein, who was above Gray Fog, immediately felt that he was being stared at by His sight, and realized that the once strongest King of Angel had noticed his prying eyes at a higher level because he held the authority of "Secret Keeping".
But he was an aboveboard surveillance person, so he shrugged indifferently, lamenting in his heart the chaos in the relationship between "Great Old One" and the others.
"The fallen ones should refer to 'Celestial Worthy' and 'God Almighty', the two Pillar-level Great Old One who were directly split from Original Creator, and the three special ones are 'Mother Goddess of Depravity', 'Mother Tree of Desire' and 'Son of Chaos', they were all sucked away by Sefirah and part of Beyonder Characteristic when Original Creator woke up again. They are obviously different from other Great Old One...
"But this being Oldest One actually gave birth to the eldest daughter, and then gave birth to most Great Old One with the eldest daughter. This relationship is even more confusing than Greek Mythology... Maybe the ancient myths and stories were created under the subconscious influence of Original Creator...
"It sounds like there are still a lot of 'Great Old One's in the universe. Why haven't they come to earth to share the pie? Anyway, ten of them can't beat them, and even a hundred of them can't beat them. Maybe there will be internal strife among them if there are too many Outer Deitys..."
While muttering, he continued to listen to the conversation between Angel and Bethel.
Angel also digested the "chaotic relationship" contained in Bethel's words, and continued to ask:
"You mean 'Great Old One' is far more than what's outside the barrier? Why didn't they come to the earth like Goddess of fate... that is, outside this planet?"
"We are worried that the Outer Deity that will invade reality after the barrier disappears is only a very small part," Bethel patiently explained. "The collection of a certain type of authority and symbol will form a corresponding Sefirah, and every Sefirah has its own belonging. In the vast universe, although the existence of 'Great Old One' is not as large as the number of stars, it is difficult to count clearly."
"But some of them are unwilling to participate in the dispute because of their own symbolic reasons, and some think that their power is not enough to compete with other Great Old One, so they have not come to this star field... The Outer Deity that can be recognized by us are already the most powerful ones in the universe.
"You know, it's not just us in the barrier that can be coveted by these Outer Deitys, other weaker Great Old Ones will also be their targets."
It turns out that even the existence of Great Old One cannot escape simple interests... In this way, the departure of "Uncertain Mist" has indeed given the earth a great opportunity. After the trust between these Outer Deity is destroyed, as long as we have the opportunity to severely damage a few of them, the rest will start to consider the "cost-effectiveness" of invading the earth, and maybe they will turn to hunt down those injured allies...
Angel nodded thoughtfully, suddenly realized something and asked:
"Did you learn this knowledge while roaming the stars?"
Bethel nodded and said:
"The barrier that protects our world has relatively few internal restrictions, and compared to other Pathway, the various abilities of 'Apprentice' are the most suitable for passing through the barrier and heading to the starry sky Travel. On the one hand, this brings richer insights. On the other hand, it also greatly increases the probability of Apprentice being contaminated."
It turns out that the barrier is not open to the outside world. No wonder Emperor Roselle easily landed on the moon and was contaminated by "Mother Goddess of Depravity". If this Outer Deity hadn't been fishing for big fish for a long time, he wanted Roselle to become the True God used by him within the barrier., this fellow probably won't be able to come back... And more than one Abraham Family was contaminated because he could easily travel to the stars. I remember that their family's Grade 0 Sealed Artifact "Box of the Great Old Ones" came from a "Planeswalker" who died suddenly after returning from the stars...
The person in front of him is also... Looking at Bethel Abraham's pair of blue eyes, Angel thought of the "new" consciousness that Special Mirror World looked at him with some resentment just now, and asked with exploration:
"That's when you were contaminated by 'Mother Goddess of Depravity'?"
"When I was trying to accommodate the 'Gate' Pathway Uniqueness, I think you should also know that the accommodation ceremony of Uniqueness is equivalent to a simple Apotheosis Ritual, and this requires me to go to the stars and learn about the astronomy, geography and humanities of different galaxies. In the process, I met the Angels of Outer Deity Pathway who occupied and managed those planets. I learned the knowledge of Great Old Ones from them, and was also secretly contaminated by 'Mother Goddess of Depravity' without knowing it."
Bethel replied with a sigh.
"This kind of hidden pollution was not even discovered by 'Black Emperor' and 'True Creator' at the time. The same was true for 'Blood Emperor' and Tudor until Four Emperors War Starting from E, Evernight and Storm teamed up to banish and seal me, which made me sure that God, who was in charge of the 'secret' authority, might be aware of it."
Angel took over and said:
"Then, your 'new' self appeared between Storm and darkness, took over your consciousness, and began to try to call for help?"
Bethel nodded and looked at the Abraham people beside him who couldn't hear the conversation but still lowered their heads and waited respectfully, with a trace of sadness in their eyes.
In order to prevent his other self from having the opportunity to confuse his descendants and bring him back to reality, he kept roaring during the short period of wakefulness, causing the family's Beyonder to die out of control... Angel was also a little sad, thinking of the "Master Key".
Sighing secretly, she ended this boring topic and asked instead:
"Since you risked being contaminated to explore the stars, you must have known the capabilities of the 'Great Old One' outside the barrier?
"I want to know the 'authority' they hold, as well as the corresponding 'concepts' and 'symbols'."
After discussing with Klein, she decided to resurrect Mr. "Door" first instead of dealing with other things. Naturally, this was because King of Angel, who had roamed the starry sky many times, must have a deeper understanding of Outer Deity.
Moreover, she asked about abstract things like "authority" and "concept" instead of the specific abilities of Pathway that Great Old One mastered. This is because after being promoted to Sequence 1 and accommodating Uniqueness, Angel found that fighting at this level already involves the application of authority and the confrontation of concepts. The specific ability to use is not the focus.
For example, the Frost, flames and curses of "Demoness" Pathway are, in the final analysis, the detailed manifestation of the authority of "Chaos" at a low level. As you Sequence improves, they gradually merge into concepts such as "bringing Catastrophe to the enemy", "inevitable Apocalypse", and eventually become one of God's powers.
The ability of Adjacent Pathways's "Red Priest" to control flames and Harvest enemies will form the power of "destruction" at the Angel level. The courage and charm of provoking enemies and gathering teammates are the embodiment of the concept of "conquer".
When reaching the level of Great Old One, "Calamity of Destruction, Origins of Disaster" themselves are symbols of Catastrophe and Apocalypse, conquest and destruction.
Therefore, to understand a Great Old One in depth, authority and symbol are undoubtedly more important than specific abilities.
Hearing her "professional" question, Bethel also restrained his previous emotions and said in a steady tone:
"There are ten Great Old One who came outside the barrier one after another. Let me first talk about the 'Uncertain Mist' who was severely injured and temporarily retreated, which is also 'Son of Chaos'."
Angel nodded, quite interested in the part that turned into "Genie" and the part that remained outside the barrier, "Son of Chaos".
"He was torn in half by the impact of 'Original Creator' when he woke up. Part of Sefirah entered the barrier with parts of Beyonder Characteristic and Uniqueness. This is what we know as 'Justiciar' and '' Black Emperor' two Paths of the Divine, and the self-completed Sefirah of 'Nation of Disorder', and the other part became 'Uncertain Mist' in the starry sky. It also has a Pathway and a partially completed Sefirah.
"But it is said that at First Epoch, this Great Old One who tried to take back the torn parts took advantage of the characteristics of 'Black Emperor''s resurrection after death, and entered the inside from outside the barrier. He was defeated by Celestial Worthy and sealed with a copy of Miracle Invoker's characteristics. Instead, the part outside the barrier regained some consciousness because of this, forming the current situation of 'two Great Old One'."
This is somewhat different from what Genie said, but it seems to be closer to the truth. He can use loopholes to get into the barrier. He is worthy of Pathway who takes advantage of the rules and plays with them... No wonder "Uncertain Mist" Silly, he got hit hard by Grisha Adam, and "Genie" was so afraid of Celestial Worthy... Angel cursed, suddenly realized something, and asked:
"So, the authority of 'Son of Chaos' is rules, loopholes and the gray area in between?"
"Order and the shadows within it, as well as 'Chaos' itself, and all 'uncertainty', are symbols of Him."
Bethel corrected.
Therefore, He can use the "rules" of Great Old One's personality to twist all Outer Deity together to form a combined force, and solving him is equivalent to destroying the foundation of Outer Deity's trust... Angel once again confirmed the importance of this Outer Deity, nodded, and continued to ask:
"What about 'Mother Goddess of Depravity' and 'Mother Tree of Desire'?"
These two people Great Old One she had the most contact with inside the barrier, so naturally she cared about them the most.
"As one of the three sons directly born to Original Creator, the existence of 'Mother Tree of Desire' means the birth of living beings, as well as the emergence of evil and desire. Therefore, he symbolizes the desire and love of all living beings, and is the ruler of all living beings with lust. Just like another father besides Oldest One, his roar echoes eternally in the desires of living beings, wearing away their reason."
Bethel shows Honorific Name of "Mother Tree of Desire" in another way. "Father of Devils, Perpetual Blatherer, Heartless God".
Of course, now part of His authority and symbol also remain in the barrier along with "Tenebrous World", part of his own power is missing, and there are two more Pathways, "Abyss" and "Chained" in the barrier.
I feel deeply about "desire"... Angel commented silently, waiting for information from another Great Old One.
After a slight pause, Bethel continued:
"The most important of the three children of Original Creator, and the biological mother of most Great Old Dominator, the symbol of 'Mother Goddess of Depravity' is the most special. She is the first Great Old One born by Original Creator, which gives support to the originally mixed Astral World, Spirit World and reality. Astral World and Spirit World are separated from each other. The long river of fate begins to flow in reality, and time also has a concrete concept.
"After that, Original Creator combined with Mother Goddess of Depravity to give birth to other Great Old Dominator.
"Therefore, He is equal to the concept of 'reality' and is also attached to it. As long as reality is immortal, His spirit, soul and body will not be completely destroyed; He holds the authority to reproduce, symbolizing the original sin of Chaos. He is Origin of Evil, the Undying. If 'Brood Hive' is included again, He also symbolizes Mother of All Things, Filthy Mother Nest."
Equivalent to reality... isn't that equivalent to everything in the universe? No, this is just a common sense concept. In terms of occult concepts, "reality" is not all. There are also the existences of "Spirit World" and "Astral World"... Thoughts kept flashing through Angel's mind, and he suddenly asked:
"Is this why He is one of the 'Pillar'?"
Since the Celestial Worthy of "Dominator of the Spirit World" and the God Almighty of "Lord of the Astral World" are both Pillar, then naturally "Master of Reality" is also Pillar.
"That's right," Bethel nodded. "Even if Mother Goddess of Depravity is torn apart a part of Sefirah, and the power gap between it and other Great Old One cannot be widened, he still possesses the symbol and personality of Pillar, and is stronger than the ordinary Great Old Dominator in this regard."
"Pillar" is stronger than "Great Old One", but "Mother Goddess of Depravity" is only reflected in person and symbol because Sefirah was torn apart, which means that after the complete "Lord of Mysteries" and "God Almighty" appear in the barrier, they will be able to fight against more than their number. The amount of ordinary Great Old One... Thinking of this, Angel was a little excited, but then he realized that although the consciousness of these two Pillar would disappear over time, their spirits would never die. It was still unknown whether Klein and Grisha Adam could truly master this power.
At least another one of my tips has allowed them to avoid many traps... She thought happily and continued to ask:
"What about the other Great Old One?"
Bethel nodded and replied:
"'Goddess of fate' is the eldest daughter of Mother Goddess of Depravity. Her birth symbolizes the intertwining of the fate of all things, giving the world rules to follow and a foreseeable future. Based on this concept, He not only controls the fate of all things, including Great Old One, but can also return from the tributaries of River of fate after his body is destroyed.
"'High-Dimensional Overseer' possesses symbols of dimensions and illusions. He can look down on reality from a high dimension and interfere with and destroy most powers and symbols unless he is restrained.
"'Inextinguishable Ravings' is a collection of concepts of consciousness and spirit. It does not have a real entity, but will be attached to certain things to form a specific shape and color. His ravings are like the spiritual influence of Oldest One and Creator, which can be transmitted to the inside of all Sefirah and Uniqueness.
"'Primordial Hunger' symbolizes the 'aggregation' instinct of Original Creator, which is the concept of 'devouring' itself. It can devour everything, including other Great Old Dominator, until it triggers real aggregation.
"'Monarch of Decay' holds the authority and symbol of 'Decay' and 'Certain Death', and is the nemesis of all clones, Marionette and puppet-related abilities. The decline of the clone is the decline of the main body, and the death of Marionette is the death of the main body... In addition, he seems to be part of a larger concept.
"'Circle of Inevitability' has symbolic concepts such as past, future, present, cycle and destiny. As long as the past does not die, the present and future will not perish, which is equivalent to immortality in another sense.
"The last is 'Supernova Dominator'. He controls all the powers and symbols based on reality, such as space, time, gravity, and density. Any concept of reality that can be understood by living beings can be used by him. Because of this, the galaxy he controls is the most developed among all Great Old One believers. Most of them have the ability to interstellar navigation and can conduct more advanced scientific research."
They are not easy to mess with... Even the most realistic "Supernova Dominator" has stronger symbols and authority than all the True Gods in the barrier. No wonder the stars he attracted directly attack the barrier, which is enough to make all True God defends with all its strength and cannot move... The moment the barrier is broken, He can directly destroy the earth, causing all True God to lose their important anchors and fall into madness, not to mention other Great Old One whose powers and symbols are all strange and difficult to resist...
After listening to Bethel's narration, Angel in front of him and Klein above Gray Fog fell into some kind of negative emotions at the same time.
PS: Another two-in-one day...
