Gray did not have the opportunity to witness where the marks on other "Great Old One" and those Sefirah's loved ones are located, but as "City of Calamity The owner of the power of "", as early as Timeline on the road leading to Apocalypse, where everything ceased to exist, her eyebrows were marked with blood-colored, flag-like marks.
That was proof that "City of Calamity" responded to her and gave her strength.
In this world, "Red Angel" Medici also had similar marks on his eyebrows when praying for the power of Source of War. This means that at least the Sefirah mark of "City of Calamity" is located between the eyes, not in the valley of the chest.
But when Angel was promoted to "Unaging" Demoness, and actually met Gray, and both of them received the gift of "Iron-Blooded Knight" from City of Calamity, Sefirah's additional mark appeared on his chest.
At first, Gray and Angel didn't care about this. After all, compared to the flags between the eyebrows, the marks on the chest can be covered with clothing. But after learning that "City of Calamity" had been accommodated by Pillar-level Great Old One, and after Gray restored all memories and understood that they came from Apocalypse, they began to think about the cause and purpose of this "abnormality."
Coupled with the overlap between the beliefs of "Goddess of Light" in the previous life and the authority and symbols held by "Omniscient and Almighty", as well as the inexplicable process of Angel physically entering "City of Calamity" after dying at the hands of Devil, the answer is already evident.
All of this is probably the arrangement of Primordial's "God Almighty".
After all, before Original Creator woke up, both "Celestial Worthy" and "God Almighty" were already conscious and capable of influencing the outside world, preparing themselves to take advantage after Creator split.
Celestial Worthy chose to use the characteristics of "Sefirah Castle" to pull the Spirit Body of hundreds of innocent people who came into contact with special items into Gray Fog to save, such as Klein, Roselle, Evernight Goddess, and those who are still hanging Others in Sefirah Castle, as back-up for their own resurrection, as long as they become God with the help of Sefirah Castle corresponding to three Pathway, or even as long as they become Angel, that Celestial Worthy may be revived in their bodies.
In this matter, the style presented by Celestial Worthy is "conspiracy" and a clever arrangement in which everything comes to one point. Although He pulled hundreds of Spirit Body into Gray Fog, he was extremely restrained when releasing it, and because the other Sefirah were sealed in the Western Continent, even if God of the remaining Pathway don't want him to revive, they can only support a new Lord of Mysteries, unlock the seal and release those Sefirah.
He doesn't even need to intervene, he can wait for the container he chooses to grow until the consciousness in Beyonder Characteristic in his body is strong enough to resurrect himself.
Contrary to Celestial Worthy, God Almighty's strategy is "from top to bottom", directly reviving True God's body, and the resurrection container he chose, or got by chance, was "Ancient Sun God" Grisha.
This Great Old One remnant who was conducting secret research inside Chernobyl accidentally fell into the Chaos Sea when its power was leaked. While Luck managed to escape the Apocalypse that destroyed Old Era, he was also Slumber Charm in the Chaos Sea. Combined with the power of the two Pathways "Sun" and "Hanged Man" left in it by God Almighty, the first piece of "Blasphemy Slate" returned to reality with the person of Dual Pathways True God and became "Ancient Sun God".
And this is God Almighty's main method of resurrection. Looking back at Fifth Epoch now, most of his power is focused on how to interfere with Celestial Worthy's resurrection. The relationship between the two Pillar-level Great Old One can be seen.
Of course, in addition to Grisha, there are many "alternatives" for God Almighty. For example, after accommodating "Tenebrous World", it can have a certain impact on Demon Monarch Farbauti, and if it is not Chained God Tolzna was contaminated by "Mother Tree of Desire". This King of Angel might also be able to feel the feeling of "Primordial resurrecting in his body".
As for the other copy of Sefirah "City of Calamity" that was accommodated by God Almighty, naturally it also retains some of its tricks. Although this Sefirah was chosen by "Original Creator" as the method of resurrection, causing God Almighty to finally give up the two Pathways of "Demoness" and "Red Priest", he also left some arrangements.
The dragon head on the left of Malevolent Dragon and the head of Chaos on the right, which is isolated from the two, are the power left by God Almighty's prediction of Oldest One's resurrection. As long as yin and yang cannot truly merge into one, Oldest One's resurrection will have no most important foundation.
Of course, He also predicted that the seal of the Western Continent would be weakened, and the power of "City of Calamity" would leak to the outside, which might be used by the new "Demoness" and "Red Priest". Especially the latter, as the priest of Creator, might affect this Sefirah through the seal.. Therefore, before Original Creator was about to awaken and split, and before "God Almighty" and "Celestial Worthy" became independent of each other, He hid a corpse that was killed by the Chaos family members and contaminated by the power of Sefirah into City of Calamity.
During the long wait, the corpse continued to be eroded by City of Calamity, and the consciousness and spirit remaining in the body naturally became the beloved of Sefirah, until "Sefirah Castle", due to the failure of the first two attempts, threw away the third "traveler" while releasing it. The "Mystic Seer" characteristics that can speed up the recovery of Celestial Worthy, and the disturbance between Sefirah allowed the power of "City of Calamity" to leak out of the seal, and simultaneously released the "traveler" Angel Gray, and selected a suitable container.
And she will make "Mirrored Original Creator" lose its last chance of resurrection.
Therefore, the mark on Angel Granger, the beloved of Sefirah, is different from that of Medici. It is on the chest, at the position penetrated by Flame Spear of Devil, and in the area repaired and contaminated by "City of Calamity", not between the eyebrows.
Some of this information is Gray's recovered memories, and some is the conclusion she reached through discussions with Angel, but most of it is just speculation.
Moreover, this conclusion cannot explain why in the memory of Gray's "previous life", his mark was located between the eyebrows, the same as Medici, instead of on the chest like Angel in this life.
Obviously both of us should be "Angel Gray" who were sent to City of Calamity, but now it seems that this specialness was brought to me by her... Could it be that there is an Angel from that God Almighty company who came to this Timeline frustrated because Apocalypse was inevitable? It was expected... Thoughts kept coming to Gray's mind. It wasn't until the City of Calamity in the mirror gradually shrank and collapsed, turning into an illusory city outline and flying toward her, that she gathered her thoughts and guided it to blend into her chest, which became increasingly red, like the mark of Sefirah with blood leaking out.
The next second, the power of Sefirah in the mirror was fixed on the chest of Mirror Person, and her consciousness and spirit were directly pulled into a vast but empty space.
The place is filled with gray War Fog, invisible and colorless flames are burning in a distant location, and scorching meteorites streak across the sky from time to time, as if it is a collection of concepts of Catastrophe and war.
In front of her, a staircase appeared out of thin air and kept getting higher. At the end was a picture of God's Throne stained with crimson blood.
That is the "Tao" pursued by countless City of Calamity Dao Integrator. They have integrated into Sefirah from generation to generation and mixed their own consciousness into it, forming this embodied symbol.
Beside the stairs, another figure also looked up at God's Throne, which was Angel who simultaneously accommodated the real "City of Calamity" in the Western Continent and entered here together.
"It seems that this method is indeed effective," Gray came to Angel and said softly, "This should be the consciousness space corresponding to Sefirah City of Calamity, and it is the place where 'Malevolent Dragon' is entrenched and resurrected."
This is not reality or Spirit World, Astral World, but a symbol, a consciousness space formed by the symbol of "accommodating Sefirah". Climbing the ladder and climbing to God's Throne means accommodating this Sefirah.
"Well, if we are not the favored ones of City of Calamity, there is no such special Mirror Person relationship that can accommodate both the City of Calamity part in the mirror and the Western Continent part sealed in reality. There is no way to enter here, and we can only watch 'Malevolent Dragon' resurrected again and return to reality, becoming 'Calamity of Destruction' that causes headaches for the Western Continent Dao Integrator."
Angel nodded and said.
As soon as she finished speaking, on the stairs leading to a distant height, Malevolent Dragon's body, which had shrunk a lot but still completely blocked the way, was outlined, becoming clearer and thicker at a speed visible to the naked eye.
His black and white dragon body, black dragon head, white face, and Chaos head sandwiched in the middle quickly took shape, and a much stronger aura of terror rushed towards his face than when he was in the seal.
Among the surrounding War Fog, the figures of Dao Integrator slowly emerged. They were essentially just the spirit and will merged with Sefirah, so they did not die in the huge explosion that just killed Malevolent Dragon. Exploded, at this moment, because the "betrayal" effect disappeared, he returned to the consciousness space again, trying to combine with Malevolent Dragon, which represents Sefirah, giving him emotions and tendencies similar to humans, instead of Mythical Creature that only relies on instinctive actions.
How could Angel allow them to do this? She stepped onto the stairs and once again revealed her complete Mythical Creature Form, her pale golden snake hair fluttering, her beautiful eyes moving, her lips slightly opened, looking at the City of Calamity Dao Integrators of different shapes and genders.
The figures that were floating toward Malevolent Dragon's gradually recovering body with the last desire in their hearts suddenly stopped in the air, and involuntarily turned their heads to look at Angel, instantly immersed in her charm that could break even gender, species, and life and death. The same was true for those beauties and concubines who had brought trouble to the country with their beauty Charm kings in history.
Seeing this, Gray, who had already condensed "Salinger’s Blood Banner" in her hand, did not try to "conquer", but flashed her mind, letting several other beings who followed her into the consciousness space to come out of her body and stand next to the stairs.
This includes Cheek, who is in a pure white dress, with black hair tangled into thick tentacles, Tudor, who is wearing black armor and a red-haired shawl, with a flag mark on her eyebrows. Her blond hair and purple eyes are more like Angel than Gray, but she has a confused look on her face "Oldest One" Feminine Aspect...
... and "Oldest One" Masculine Aspect, which was fused with Gray but never really appeared.
He wears full-body armor that is white but also stained with blood. He has the same long red hair and blue eyes as Tudor, but his facial contours are softer, as if mixed with a bit of the neutral beauty of Angel Gray. It's a pity that his face has some Affliction and angry Distortion, which ruins this beauty.
Since his birth, Cheek has been hiding in the depths of Mirror World. Apart from his hatred for this "Primordial Demoness", "" does not have much self-awareness. "Feminine Aspect", "Masculine Aspect" who became Mirror Person early and is waiting for the opportunity to be resurrected has inherited some of the consciousness of Tudor, and his expression is more vivid.
Because of the "gender problem" of the Gray that is fused with itself, it is always in a state of being about to truly merge into one but always inferior. In reality and in Mirror World, it is unable to truly meet and merge with its own Feminine Aspect to form the complete consciousness of Mirrored Original Creator.
Only in the consciousness space inside this Sefirah can He appear, and it is difficult to integrate with the face-to-face "Feminine Aspect".
Unless Gray is now "Red Priest" and turns into a male body by reaching a balance with his own Mirror Person, Oldest One's Masculine Aspect can be completely integrated with it, thereby truly gaining a physical body.
Unlike the dull "Feminine Aspect" and the self-absorbed and crazy "Masculine Aspect", Cheek looked at each other affectionately with Tudor, and then both looked at "Malevolent Dragon" at the top of the stairs, with a somewhat fanatical expression, as if to say "the day we have been waiting for has finally arrived."
Whether Malevolent Dragon defeats Angel and Gray and further gains self-awareness, or is in turn defeated by the two and becomes part of "Calamity of Destruction", their Great Existence wish that they have been trying to become Above the Sequence since Fourth Epoch can be achieved.
If they were not so crazy about controlling the power of Oldest One, but directly integrated into it, maybe Mirrored Original Creator would have been born long ago... No, the last step of "God Almighty" is still there, the two heads of Malevolent Dragon The skull is separated by "Chaos"... Instead, Gray and I used a special mechanism of the relationship between Demoness and Mirror Person to separate the yin and yang sides of Mirrored Original Creator in another way...
As Charm was flying towards him with Dao Integrator instead of merging with Malevolent Dragon to speed up his recovery, Angel looked sideways and sighed.
Like Gray, she also realized that her own existence and the current special state were probably the future predicted and arranged by God Almighty, and it was one of the double insurances that prevented the birth of "Mirrored Original Creator".
And now, the two insurances you arranged are about to fight again... She smiled slightly, making the Dao Integrators in the fog stunned, and then said to Gray standing beside her:
"Let's get started."
The latter nodded and moved out of the way, so that there was no longer a barrier between the yin and yang sides of Tudor, Cheek, and Mirrored Original Creator.
Driven by her thoughts, she has the appearance and figure of Angel. After the death of Cheek, her hatred has been eliminated. Only "Feminine Aspect" who has a natural closeness to Demoness Pathway "" reluctantly walked towards "Masculine Aspect" in white armor, while Cheek, with black snake hair hanging almost to his feet, approached Tudor with a smile on his face.
Under the guidance of these two former "Demoness" and "Red Priest", the yin and yang sides of Original Creator, which still have a certain connection due to the hundreds of years of preliminary integration of Fourth Epoch, are getting closer and closer, and the four figures are close together.
In reality, Tudor and Cheek have fallen, and Masculine Aspect of Oldest One is because of Angel and The arrangement of Gray cannot be truly revived, but in the consciousness space, it means the fusion of "City of Calamity" and two Pathway, as well as the aggregation of the female body and the male body of Mirrored Original Creator.
This will form the symbol of "Original Creator Recovery".
As if feeling a physical threat, the stairs were gradually taking shape, and Malevolent Dragon, with its three heads slowly raised, let out a roar.
His entrenched body suddenly flew up, causing more and more concrete Calamitys to emerge from the surrounding War Fogs, such as supernova explosions and the formation of black holes. On the other hand, he relied on instinct to fly higher, trying to stay away from the location of the most terrifying Calamity—Original Creator's resurgence—in the consciousness space.
But this is the space of consciousness, a false space that has no direction or distance, and exists only by symbols and concepts.
In this space, if Angel does not defeat Malevolent Dragon, which represents the consciousness of City of Calamity, even if he climbs the ladder to in advance by other means In front of God's Throne, it is impossible to really sit down and accommodate this Sefirah. On the other hand, even if Malevolent Dragon escapes to the ends of the earth, it is impossible to escape the attack of Angel.
This is a head-on battle that symbolizes Angel's consciousness of conquering the disaster city, or being conquered by it. There is no room for trickery.
Of course, using the person and symbol of "Original Creator" to challenge the activated consciousness of Sefirah as a single Pathway True God was also a method she had prepared long ago.
As the yin and yang figures of Cheek, Tudor, and Creator came closer together and gradually merged together, the space also changed.
Angel Charm's Dao Integrator, Malevolent Dragon who fled into the distance at all costs, the long stairs and God's Throne at the top, and even Angel and Gray, were all frozen in the cold that completely stopped all consciousness and objects.
Even the supernova explosions and black hole formations stimulated by Malevolent Dragon, as well as the light and heat emitted by these universes Calamity, will die out.
The next second, everything exploded in the most violent way, and countless materials and energy were thrown everywhere, re-forming a new "universe", as well as the stars and creatures inside.
It was a symbol of the formation of the universe and the evolution of Oldest One into everything in the world. It was a preview of some of the most terrifying Catastrophe in reality.
If Great Old One and Pillar converge again beyond the limit necessary to maintain stability, and the consciousness of Original Creator is revived, he will end the current universe, create a new Reboot universe, and become Original Creator in that new world.
And everything that exists will cease to exist.
Boom - Violent light and impact swept through the entire consciousness space. Malevolent Dragon's newly formed body was blasted into a void of energy, and then slowly recovered in the concept of Original Creator's "creation". The figure was outlined on the stairs that also appeared again, and behind him was God's Throne, which represented the power of Sefirah.
This is his second resurrection in a short period of time, and the speed has slowed down significantly. However, compared to the madness that was just based on instinct, now all Dao Integrator's spirits have returned to him, and reason has reappeared in Malevolent Dragon's mind, leaving him half confused and half relieved.
Those challengers actually used the symbol of "Oldest One" to destroy everything, but his activated consciousness as Sefirah can be reborn countless times. Can others do it?
Among the three newly formed heads, except for Chaos's head, a smile appeared on the other two faces.
"Is it funny?"
A question with a smile came from His ears.
