As soon as the hazy light carrying a huge amount of information left Astral World and entered Spirit World, it was captured by Klein, which had been prepared for a long time.
He did not try to intercept this light, but with the help of "Sefirah Castle" and the ability of "Grafting", he integrated the positioning authority of the adjacent "door" Pathway into that information.
If the other party only accommodates "Hermit" Pathway Uniqueness, even if this message is sent by "God of Steam", it may not be easy to find King of Angel who can use the hidden authority to hide himself, but Hidden Sage is "Knowledge Moor" who was sealed because of the Western Continent " was contaminated by "Brood Hive" and was activated to form Uniqueness. It has a very close relationship with the two copies of Sefirah. This not only brought him a higher status, but also made it difficult for him to resist the influence of Sefirah itself.
With the help of that Celestial Master, the torrent of information mixed with various forces finally penetrated Astral World and Spirit World, came to the depths of "Ideal Land" Dark Side, and landed inside the huge Vortex.
In an instant, the Vortex hole, which was originally covered in mist and made it difficult to see the inside, emitted a dazzling light. The figure of "Moses Ascetic Order" Chairman Toriobo, who was about to jump in and escape from the place, froze in place with the help of the "hidden" authority to escape tracking.
The images in the back of his mind that predicted his successful escape from the terrifying Demoness tracking behind suddenly disappeared, and instead appeared one by one with tragic endings.
More information was hidden and never really emerged until now? This caused my prediction to go awry... He was using me as bait?
Toriobo immediately guessed part of the truth.
The next second, his brain became Chaos, all the ending pictures were gathered together, and his destiny came to an end.
This momentary pause was enough for Angel, who was following from behind, to lock onto this "Sage", detonate many contradictions and imbalances in his body, and bring him destruction from the inside out.
Black flames burst out from Toriobo's body, which was composed of ferocious wolf heads, weird symbols, Distortion worms, and other things that symbolized a mixture of different powers, completely destroying the body, Spirit Body, and the "information" that constituted his existence.
The silver retort in His hand fell gently to the ground, and Sealed Artifact, which had just emitted scorching sunlight and formed a miniature Sun, was extremely quiet at the moment, seemingly indifferent to the death of its owner.
Angel didn't even bother to deal with this Sealed Artifact. He didn't even have time to confirm whether Toriobo was really dead. Instead, he immediately entered the Vortex hole that was locked by the hazy light falling from the sky and the inside became clear.
This was originally just Ideal Land The safety exit in the depths of Dark Side was the escape channel opened by Toriobo with the help of the power of "Hidden Sage", but at this moment, with the cooperation of "God of Steam" and "Fool", they had already been transported to an unknown place by "Grafting" with the help of the high-level connection of the power of Sefirah.
Angel As soon as I stepped into Vortex, I felt that the endless dark wilderness in my field of vision disappeared instantly. Mountains rose from the ground, lava flowed from the top, cracks were all over the ground, and sea water poured in.
At this moment, she seemed to have returned to the Apocalypse place where "City of Calamity" in the mirror was.
Among these peaks and rift valleys, an illusory light composed of complex information floated like a torrent. He had predicted the danger, but did not know where the danger would come from, and was busy hiding himself and the entire area.
Having just fought with two Angel who could use information, Angel immediately understood that this light with a huge amount of information was the "Hidden Sage" he was looking for.
He has no real entity, but consists entirely of information and concepts.
And not only Him, this unknown land that is neither in reality nor in Spirit World and Astral World is also composed of information. Therefore, a mutation occurred the moment Angel appeared, from complete silence and darkness to something like Ideal Land Dark Side The appearance of that wilderness has become an environment where concepts such as "Apocalypse" and "destruction" are mixed.
As a result, many of the powers held by Angel were exposed to Hidden Sage's "snooping".
This is one of His important authorities.
Of course, at this time Hidden Sage did not take advantage of the information and intelligence to launch a counterattack. The arrangement he started the moment he predicted his own danger was essentially to allow himself to escape from here successfully, rather than to fight against King of Angel who had mastered the power of Sefirah.
What's more, if the opponent can find this place, he must be ready to fight. Hidden Sage is not sure of defeating the opponent.
As long as you destroy the hiding place and create chaos, you can leave with other information backups, escape the opponent's lock using Sefirah, and continue to hide... The torrent of information flowing between the volcano and the rift valley continues to converge into complete thoughts. As soon as Hidden Sage made the decision, he found that the unknown place seemed to be wrapped in black velvet, and a faint Gray Fog filled the air.
As the incarnation of occult knowledge, Hidden Sage of the activated "Hermit" Uniqueness immediately understood what happened:
"Fool", who has not yet ascended to the throne of God but has mastered the power of Sefirah, used the "sealing" authority of "Divine Kingdom Prototype" and Adjacent Pathways to trap him here!
If God of the "Gate" Pathway comes in person, he can even use the sealing power to trap a "Great Old One" who is not resisting fiercely for a short time. Klein can use the power of Sefirah Castle to trap a King of Angel to death.
This is also the reason why he did not transform into Gehrman Sparrow and Angel and enter Ideal Land to look for Hidden Sage. This is not only to create an "attack There is only one enemy in the Moses Ascetic Order headquarters, "King of Angel", because "Fool" hiding above Gray Fog is much more powerful than Gehrman.
Seeing that the way back was blocked, "Hidden Sage" didn't feel much panic. His information incarnation body, which was coiled between the mountains and canyons like a giant snake, suddenly stopped, and then turned into a black shadow with countless black and white eyes on the surface.
The shadow is like a humanoid, but with two heads and three arms, as if it is imitating a real human being. Countless eyes rotate rapidly, condensing a large number of complex illusory symbols on the surface of the humanoid shadow, and filling countless useful and useless knowledge into the mind of Angel, who has just escaped from Vortex and landed in an unknown land.
Potion's formula, ritual steps, Charm's production method, Beyonder Creature's postpartum care... The large amount and variety of knowledge made Angel's figure freeze instantly, and then exploded into a ball of bright fireworks from his head to his body.
Glass shards scattered like starlight, and the body of Angel appeared in Mirror World. Only then did we discover that although Mirror World existed in this unknown land, it was mapped in the form of information under the distant ocean and the sea water pouring into the valley. Although it still existed independently, it could be detected and defended.
Sure enough, countless eyes on the humanoid Hidden Sage were locked on Angel again, and more knowledge was chasing her and about to enter her brain.
At this moment, an ancient and melodious bell sounded in the sky of an unknown place.
When——
As the bell rang, the information flow that was originally approaching Angel at the speed of light became Slowing, as if it was stagnant in the air. The magma spurting out of the mountain peaks and the sea water pouring into the valley also turned into frozen scenery in the portrait at this moment.
Only Angel and Hidden Sage are outside the time stop and have their own thinking and action abilities. The former immediately broke away from the sea water and returned to reality. Deep Purple's eyes in turn locked on Hidden Sage, who was covered in black and white eyeballs and was about to turn into an illusory torrent of information again.
The ocean frozen in the cracks of time like Frost also became like a mirror, reflecting his figure Distortion.
Although the information-based battlefield makes "Mirror World" visible and loses its concealment, it also puts the world on the same level as reality, allowing the entire sea surface to be used as a mirror to lock and curse the enemy.
This nature of the unknown land makes it easier for Hidden Sage, who is rich in mystical knowledge and has the authority to "peep into secrets", to deal with enemies, but he is not the only one who can use it, Angel can also use it!
Boom——
Black flames shot out from each eyeball of the humanoid shadow with two heads and three arms. He Distortion deformed and quickly returned to the illusory torrent of information, but the inside of the giant snake-like body still rolled the Black Flame that refused to be extinguished. The complex and huge information was also mixed with clutter that symbolized "destruction" and "Chaos".
Hidden Sage experienced it personally for the first time, instead of just learning about it from knowledge Affliction.
His body quickly faded, and countless information was about to be dispersed and the Error information in the body was cleared. However, a Vortex composed of liquid containing all colors suddenly appeared inside the giant snake's body. It had only one point at first, but it quickly absorbed the surrounding information to expand its existence, and soon formed a huge hole that almost cut off the snake's body.
The surrounding information was attracted by it, collapsed and reassembled from the separated state, and then was completely swallowed and destroyed by Vortex. The torrent of information that originally illuminated the surroundings was completely annihilated in an instant. A bit of hazy light and crimson fragments sprayed out, and were absorbed again. In the end, only the black Vortex floating in the air and slowly dissipating was left.
That is the manifestation of the power of "Chaos". Catastrophe and Apocalypse were created by Angel with the help of the internal imbalance that occurred when Hidden Sage was burned.
But as Vortex dissipated, Beyonder Characteristic and the corresponding Uniqueness that made up "Hidden Sage" did not appear.
He has not truly fallen yet... Angel immediately used Mirror World, which was spread throughout the unknown land and turned into sea water by information, to look for the other party's figure, and soon discovered the illusory light that suddenly appeared in the mountains and magma.
The latter replicated itself almost instantly, generating new information and spreading into an illusory light that looked like a giant snake.
Copying of information... Is this how "Hidden Sage" is resurrected? As long as there are backups, killing the main body is meaningless... There shouldn't be too many such backups, otherwise Hidden Sage would be invincible on its own, and there is no need to hide at all... As soon as Angel had such an idea in his mind, it was washed away by all kinds of complicated and useless knowledge. With the help of the ocean-like Mirror World, the figure next to the newly born Hidden Sage also froze in place.
This time Hidden Sage did not directly use knowledge to instill and explode the opponent's brain, but changed the battle strategy. His countless eyeballs re-condensed on the surface of the body once again highlighted illusory symbols, but they were not complex shapes carrying various knowledge, but two extremely simple numbers:
0 and 1.
In the knowledge system of Moses Ascetic Order, any number has Spirituality and has an independent symbolic meaning. Among them, these two numbers are the most special. "0" represents the unknown of Chaos, which is before everything happens. "1" represents the beginning and Oldest One, symbolizing the Creator.
The 0s and 1s in those eyeballs are connected end to end, constantly changing with each other, rapidly replicating and spreading, reflecting on all the objects they see.
This includes the unknown land itself, including Gray Fog and the "Kingdom of God" that block this area, and of course Angel who is unable to move under the erosion of knowledge.
In her blank eyes, on her fair skin, and even on the surface of her Black Flame-condensed long skirt, tiny little worms were crawling and squirming. Upon closer inspection, these worms were made up of the superposition of two numbers: 0 and 1.
Under the control of "Hidden Sage", all the "1"s on Angel were rapidly changing to "0"s. Chaos and the unknown took over, causing her body that had just escaped from the ocean of knowledge to collapse and turn into bits of starlight.
Not only her, but the countless mirrors representing Angel Mirror Self deposited under the sea were also shattered and turned into nothingness in Chaos.
Using the information transfer between the main body and the mirror, Hidden Sage destroyed all Mirror Substitution of Angel in this blocked area in one go!
Of course, this cannot really kill King of Angel, a Demoness Pathway, but when the other party is resurrected from Mirror Self, who is isolated from all occult connections and located in a secret and safe place, Hidden Sage will have long since escaped from here and hid in a place where no one can find it.
A trace of "satisfaction" appeared in the torrent of new information. Hidden Sage quickly gathered his thoughts and continued to drive the spiritual numbers of Grey Mist all over the surface of the unknown land, changing "1" to "0", preparing to completely destroy the seal and escape from this place.
But before the black and white eyeballs on his body could continue to move, ripples appeared on the surface of the sea water below, and a graceful figure with a fluttering black skirt floated out and came to Hidden Sage again.
Angel was resurrected in the mirror.
For Demoness who has mastered Uniqueness, the entire Mirror World is the basis for her resurrection. Without destroying Mirror World, it is impossible to truly kill her.
Hidden Sage, who is proficient in occult knowledge, subconsciously ignored this due to the influence of some kind of power. It was not until the new Angel appeared in front of him that he realized it. His eyeballs kept turning, and thoughts of frustration came into his heart.
He can't fight or escape. The only thing he can do now is to commit suicide, destroy his current body, and let Uniqueness and Beyonder Characteristic be activated in the backup information and reborn elsewhere.
But this must be done secretly and naturally, otherwise there is a high probability that Fool, who is proficient in "positioning", will track him down and dig out more hidden information, and he will have to keep committing suicide to escape. And if multiple copies of information are backed up and activated in a short period of time, it may cause the entropy of the information to increase and Error. Even activated Uniqueness cannot avoid this pattern.
Once it reaches that point, it may self-destruct without even needing an enemy attack.
Thinking of this, Hidden Sage immediately locked onto the newly appeared Angel, with countless "0"s and "1s" all over the opponent's body. At the same time, he also tried to change the environment of the unknown land, making the sea deeper and narrower, filling the sky with volcanic ash and haze, and reducing the chance of his being reflected on the "sea surface".
At the same time, He continues to secretly drive the "1" on the Gray Fog barrier to change from "1" to "0", preparing to destroy the seal at the critical moment, then "die" reasonably, and be reborn from the backup information.
Wow - Angel once again turned into starlight fragments all over the sky. Mirror Self walked out from Mirror World, his eyes locked on Hidden Sage, ready to induce the increasing "Error" inside him and bring him Apocalypse.
At this moment, she realized that she had been slightly contaminated.
This comes from the knowledge that Hidden Sage has instilled many times and the information mixed in the spiritual attack. It represents the authority of "new life" and is undoubtedly the power of "Mother Goddess of Depravity".
Sure enough, "Hidden Sage" was activated on the surface because Brood Hive contaminated Knowledge Moor. In fact, it was controlled by Outer Deity. No wonder Mother Goddess of Depravity outside the barrier will try to launch an attack, trying to suppress God and save this subordinate... Angel knows it in his heart, curses himself, lets his body be destroyed again, and then resurrects from Mirror World.
Coupled with the power of "City of Calamity", she used this to remove the pollution that had not spread in her body.
If it were an ordinary Angel, or even Archangel of Sequence 1, without the protection of God and without the power of Sefirah, it must have been secretly contaminated by now, blossomed at a critical moment, posing a huge threat, such as the unlucky Roselle and Bethel Abraham... She muttered in her heart, once again locked on the fleeing Hidden Sage, and completely destroyed this piece of information.
Above Gray Fog, Klein was concentrating on observing the battle between Angel and Hidden Sage in the unknown land.
He had long discovered that the "Mystic Realm" he had set was stamped with countless "0"s. It seemed stable, but in fact it was on the verge of collapse. However, he did not try to reinforce it, but waited patiently for Hidden Sage to escape the seal.
I pretended not to know, He pretended not to know, I pretended not to know... Klein smiled at the corner of his mouth, joking in his heart to adjust his anxious state of mind, stroking the translucent mask engraved with "Fool" in his hand, which was Uniqueness that he had already received from Evernight Goddess but had never been able to accommodate.
With the help of it, Klein can truly take control of "Fool", including the most important "Fooling".
This includes the various powers of Historical Void, Historical Projection, destiny, change and secrets, and also symbolizes "Blind Stupidity". Simply put, it can make the enemy become mentally retarded, ignore the existence of certain facts, and make actions that are not consistent with IQ.
It turns out that "Fool" does not refer to the Pathway itself, but a simple symbol of power that turns the other person into a fool... Klein, who recently tried to review English with Angel, made a homophonic joke, and once again set his sights on the representative Angel's Crimson Star finally discovered that the already endangered Gray Fog seal collapsed under the efforts of Hidden Sage. Gray Fog and the velvety black curtain curled together, erupting into a terrifying Storm. The unknown land that was originally isolated from the outside world finally returned to reality.
The torrent of information that had appeared in many "Error" in many resurrections stopped resisting without any hesitation, and turned into complicated information in the "Chaos" that followed Angel.
Wisps of split information spread in a way that normal people cannot detect, and rushed to hidden backup locations around the world. As long as any piece of information arrives, "Hidden Sage" will be reborn again.
Under the interference of Storm whose seal was destroyed, he did not have to worry about being located by "Fool". He could hide himself and wait for the next opportunity, waiting for the day when the barrier was broken and Great Mother came.
But could it be that... everything is going a little too smoothly?
At the moment when his body had been destroyed by "Chaos", the "Fooling" that Hidden Sage suffered finally disappeared, making him realize that something was wrong.
At this moment, "Perfect Land", which is constantly projecting the history and civilization of human civilization in Astral World, flashes a hazy light that is different from before, and cooperates with other next to this Kingdom of God. God supported the barrier and resisted the Outer Deity's attack. "Black Emperor" Roselle's eyes narrowed, and he immediately turned back and looked at a certain place in the Blue Star ball.
He stretched out his arm covered with black armor toward the front, clenched his hand into a fist, and twisted his wrist slightly.
"Distortion!"
The majestic power from Astral World came to reality instantly, and Distortion performed a certain behavior.
"Hidden Sage", whose body has been annihilated and whose consciousness and spirit have been transformed into information, is running towards the backup. He is surprised to find that although the distance between himself and those backups is shortening, he is not moving towards them, but they are moving towards him!
That was closeness in a conceptual rather than a physical sense, which meant that His hundreds of backups hidden around the world were all connected to Him at this moment.
A connection was made... Mystery Pryer, the most powerful, and King of Angel, who was extremely proficient in mysticism, seemed to understand something, and couldn't help but "look" into the depths of Astral World.
The huge black-armored body shrouded in mist looked back and sent a sentence with thoughts and symbols:
"This is the price you pay for 'harassing' Bernadette."
No!
The information-based "Hidden Sage" tries its best to stop the "resurrection", but this process that will never stop once started does not change due to His will.
In the sky above North Sea, among the streams of information that were rapidly flying in different directions, the desperate and frightened voice of Hidden Sage came:
"I just want to spread the knowledge to her!
"Let me go, I helped you in the dream!
"I can also talk, I can also become God who protects the world!"
The layered information reached the minds of Roselle and Angel at the same time. The former smiled contemptuously, while the latter shook his head and responded softly:
"It's too late."
As she spoke, she detonated "Error" contained in all the information streams within visual range that had not yet escaped, completely destroying them from the inside out.
These Error originate from the several resurrections of "Hidden Sage" in an unknown land, and from his ignorance after being Fooling.
Under the power of "Distortion", there is a reverse connection between Him who has not yet been resurrected and all backup information. Angel destroying Him is equivalent to destroying all backup information.
In the mountains of southern North Continent, at the source of rivers, on the uninhabited islands within Five Seas, and in the depths of the ocean, backups of information were harmed by the same authority of "Chaos" due to the connection of occultism. The information structure was destroyed, deleted, and quickly disappeared.
When it was all over, a scream that no one could hear spread over North Sea, which was filled with fog and dark clouds.
"..."
That was the last message "Hidden Sage" delivered to the world.
