Fourth...Pillar?
Angel's expression was a little dull, and his mind quickly recalled the information of three people who could be called "Pillar", Great Existence, who was at the top of all Great Old Dominator:
The one who controls "Spirit World" is directly split from one of Original Creator's personalities into "Lord of Mysteries, King of Space-Time, Beacon of Destiny, Source Castle Avatar, Dominator of the Spirit World";
In charge of "Astral World" are "God Almighty, Creator, Creator, Omniscient and Almighty, Lord of the Astral World" who are also part of Creator's personality;
And the one who rules "reality" was directly born from Original Creator, and gave birth to most of Great Old One's "Mother Goddess of Depravity, Origin of Evil, the Undying, Filthy Mother Nest".
The authority and symbols of these three are either directly derived from Original Creator, or they are higher than them due to the birth of other Great Old One. They are the basis for the formation of the universe and its maintenance and development, so they are called "Pillar". Their power is not necessarily much higher than ordinary Great Old One, but their symbols are extremely special.
Then what is Fourth Pillar?
Feeling Angel's inner doubts, Evernight Goddess, whose body was blurry in the endless night, continued:
"Have you not noticed that if the three Pillar are to be integrated into one body and almost return to the basic state of 'Original Creator', are there still some important symbols missing?"
Important symbols...Spirit World, Astral World and reality have rulers, and other special regional essences such as Underworld, Mirror World are attached to them, The authority of Omniscience and Omnipotence, the symbol of time and space, the concept of reproduction... The authority based on the three Pillar flashed through Angel's mind one by one. He suddenly realized something and blurted out:
"The concept of the 'end' of everything is missing!"
There is life and death, reproduction and end. This is the complete "Original Creator".
This made Angel think of "City of Calamity" who hid the Creator negative and Masculine Aspect, giving him a chance to revive in a single Sefirah state.
It also symbolizes destruction and ending.
"Fourth Pillar is 'Calamity of Destruction, Origins of Disaster'?"
Evernight Goddess shook his head and said in an almost chatty tone:
"Adding the Great Old One corresponding to 'River of Eternal Darkness' is the complete Fourth Pillar. He symbolizes the inevitable destruction of this universe and is the end of all destiny and everything. This includes all Great Old One including the three Pillar, as well as Fourth Pillar itself."
Hearing this, Angel first felt happy that there was another "Pillar" inside the barrier, and then he felt a sense of absurdity.
"Why does Fourth Pillar sound like a 'bomb' that will destroy itself and everything once formed?"
she murmured.
Goddess nodded approvingly and said:
"Indeed, Ancient Sun God's research points to the same conclusion. He believes that once I accommodate River of Eternal Darkness, I will become 'Eternal Darkness, Singularity of All, Space-Time-in-One', further occupying two Pathways Demoness and Red Priest, and containing 'City of Calamity', will become the Fourth Pillar in His prophecy.
"And at that time, I will either enter Slumber Charm or be passively divided, just like the ending of Original Creator, or I will drag the entire universe to destruction, death, and start again.
"Conversely, Demoness or Red Priest first becomes 'Calamity of Destruction', and then the adjacent 'River of Eternal Darkness' is accommodated."
Adjacent... No wonder Demoness and Red Priest can jump to each other with darkness, Death, and Twilight Giant. Obviously they are not the same Pathway 0 subordinate to Sefirah., it turns out that at the level of "Great Old One", the two Sefirahs can accommodate each other, instead of being as distinct as other Sefirahs... The doubts in Angel's heart were answered.
"Is this the reason why at Third Epoch, you were from the same era as Sun God and had collaborated on some things, but you ended up being hostile to him?"
she asked tentatively.
After hearing "the same era", Evernight Goddess's somewhat hazy outline became much clearer, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.
"This is only part of the reason. The 'Primordial God Almighty' in his body had partially awakened at that time, and it was difficult to contain his evil thoughts towards Pathway True God or King of Angel that did not belong to 'Chaos Sea'.
"It wasn't until a part of his split personality, 'Dark Angel' Sastiel, found us and established 'Rose Redemption' that I knew what he really thought.
"He wants to kill 'God Almighty' and replace him."
Therefore, the purpose of "Ancient Sun God" to suppress other God is to let them unite to kill themselves, and at the same time kill the consciousness of "God Almighty" in the body, and then use the resurrected hand he has prepared She was worried that the birth of "Fourth Pillar" was just a cover-up. After all, both "City of Calamity" and "River of Eternal Darkness" were still sealed... Angel thought thoughtfully and sighed:
"It's a pity that his plan failed. In 'Betrayal Banquet', the three King of Angel shared the characteristics of three Pathway and Uniqueness. They became gods on the spot, and the Pillar who was about to be born split..."
"This should be the influence of that God Almighty. If Grisha succeeds and reaccommodates the five Pathway in a more correct way, he may not have a chance to recover." Evernight Goddess added, "With the reminder of another you, He has more speculations about this matter, but this is not what we should care about. For us, the symbol of Fourth Pillar is the most important thing."
Angel flashed with lightning in his mind and immediately asked:
"Think of it as a 'bomb'?"
Goddess nodded with satisfaction and replied in a soft tone:
"Grisha thinks that the appearance of Fourth Pillar means the end of everything, but even if you become King of Angel and have some of the authority of 'City of Calamity', I don't feel any The aggregation at the level of True God and Sefirah shows that the symbol of 'the end of all things' is likely to appear only when the Apocalypse of this universe really comes. Before that, even if it is forcibly aggregated, it will not become Pillar.
"But Outer Deitys don't know that.
"That 'Mother Goddess of Depravity' may have some speculation about this because of his own authority and status, but now that 'Uncertain Mist' has left, even if he is sure that Fourth Pillar cannot be born, the others Great Old One may not be willing to believe it, and as long as there are two or three Great Old One who dare not attack the earth because they are worried about the end of the universe, or will not launch an attack with all their strength, the balance of the battle may be broken."
This is the meaning of "bomb", just like the Nuclear Weapon on the launcher, it can play a Intimidation effect on Outer Deitys... Angel is keenly aware of the real effect of "Fourth Pillar".
But to do this, two Great Old Ones, "Calamity of Destruction" and "Eternal Darkness", need to be born first, so that they can have a chance to accommodate each other, at least to look like they are going to aggregate into Fourth Pillar... She realized this and continued to ask:
"Have your attempts to contact 'Underworld Daoist' and accommodate 'River of Eternal Darkness' yielded results?
"Where are the other Gods?"
