In Astral World, a Distortion filled with various concepts and abstractions, the kingdoms of God with different appearances are running on their own unique trajectories, sealing the gaps in the fragile barrier that constantly appear and disappear with the ebb and flow of the tide.
One of the surfaces reflects the light emitted by other divine kingdoms, and is surrounded by concepts such as "Catastrophe", "negative", and "Chaos". Meteorite, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, etc. are constantly erupting in the divine kingdom. Catastrophe, if you look carefully, you can even find miniature black holes that are constantly swallowing lava, smoke, light and heat, but the core area of the Kingdom of God remains intact among the many Catastrophes, and presents a Loen style street appearance.
The owner of the Kingdom of God, "Goddess of Calamity" Angel, is posing in the most relaxing posture on the single sofa in 6 Daffodil Street's living room, looking at the picture in the floating mirror in front of him, as if he is watching a movie.
The scene in the mirror was the pale depths of Underworld, a huge palace floating in the void, Phoenix Ancestor with its wings spread out, and Fors, Azik and Reinette who were equivalent to her followers.
This certainly does not mean that several followers of "Fool" Klein were stolen by her. Although Klein should not mind, Angel believes that in the minds of these three Angel, the weight of "Fool" is still much higher than that of "Goddess of Calamity".
But they had already recited the complete Honorific Name of Angel for various reasons. When she was still Angel, they had already fixed the corresponding belief points in Mirror World. After becoming True God and establishing their own kingdom of God, they still maintained a two-way connection.
This kind of connection is not very useful during the Angel period. It can only provide convenient functions such as True Vision, granting strength, or accepting sacrifices for a period of time after the other party recites Honorific Name. If the other party also has the personality of Angel, this connection can even be blocked.
This is why she did not doubt that Klein was "Fool" for quite some time after she became "Catastrophe" Demoness. After all, it is not something that Saint can do to pull people into Gray Fog at any time like Fool, or send the images and voices of other members.
But after Angel had become "half Great Old One", he discovered that this kind of thing could be easily accomplished as long as his personality was raised to the level of True God or above. Although Klein could not do it, the "Sefirah Castle" he owned was one of the real Sefirah, and his status was higher than that of the Seven Gods.
Now she can sense the prayers of countless believers of her own every moment, notice their every move, and even what she thinks in her heart, as long as it involves the existence of "Goddess of Calamity", will leave corresponding traces in the Kingdom of God. If she hadn't already Just using Mirror Self to isolate most of the invalid information, I must have lost all patience in the turbulent information, and rained down the terrifying Catastrophe for those believers who blasphemed God in their dreams.
Of course, because of this situation, she also truly understood why the existence of "Great Old One" itself is a kind of taboo knowledge. If she does not have the Angel personality or has similar power protection, once she forms the concept of these Great Existence in her mind, she does not even need to fully know a certain Honorific Name. She will establish a mystical connection with these existences in the starry sky, and then be watched and miserably contaminated.
Because every Great Old One has an uncertain number of "symbols" and "concepts" that must be effective in the entire universe. These symbols may not be unique and may be owned by multiple Great Existence at the same time. But as long as this symbol is immortal and the concept still exists, these Great Old One can be firmly bound to it. Anywhere within the universe, the corresponding concept will form a mystical connection with the specific Great Old One, and then attract the attention of Great Old One through an automatic prayer-response method.
In the True God stage, this connection is limited to chanting Honorific Name or shouting their names in ancient languages such as Ancient Hermes and Jotun that contain natural power, such as "Leodoro". And even if a connection is established, True God will not lower his power most of the time, and will not bother to look at him. Unless the believer has already attracted attention, or the content of the prayer interests God, it is possible to break through the automatic response mechanism like Mirror Self and "Worm of Spirit" clones and be sensed by God's body.
This is not only because God are unwilling to respond to every believer, but this two-way connection itself represents a certain degree of pollution. Although it is not as strong as the malicious and uncontrolled power of "Great Old One", it is not much different for ordinary people.
As it is mentioned in every church book: Unseeable God.
As for this subtle difference between Great Old One and ordinary God, I am afraid that most Angel have never understood it. They understand the horror of "Great Old One" and understand that the corresponding knowledge itself is pollution, but they do not reach a higher level. Secondly, it is difficult to distinguish why Great Old One's information is instantaneous to touch, but True God leaves a certain amount of leeway. They will take it for granted and attribute it to the gap in power and status, or think that Great Old One is a crazy existence, and contact and understanding are equivalent to pollution.
But if you come into contact with some believers of the evil god who believe in Great Existence, you will find that although they know the concept of "Great Old One" and even clearly believe in a certain Outer Deity, such as "Uncertain Mist" or "Mother Tree of Desire", they have not been watched or polluted by outside the barrier and can stay awake.
And according to the information Angel got from Mr. "Door" and "Magician" Miss who traveled in the starry sky, it can be seen that there are many civilizations in the universe that believe in Outer Deity but are able to flourish. Some of them worship "Great Mother", regards reproduction and reproduction as the only concept, and spreads its existence to every planet it can touch; some developed advanced societies across multiple galaxies under the leadership of Angel of "Supernova Dominator"; some believe in "Uncertain Mist" and wander among multiple planets, making connections and witnessing transactions...
This is enough to prove that "Great Old One" are not really crazy existences. They can restrain their erosion of ordinary people who have established occult connections at specific times to facilitate the development of believers, instead of turning everyone who knows them into Distortion evil polluting creatures.
Born Great Old One does not need believers to maintain their own balance. The consciousness within Sefirah is their consciousness, and the Mental Imprint of Beyonder Characteristic is their Mental Imprint. However, the corresponding concepts and symbols can be strengthened by believers, so Great Old One also has certain needs for developing their own beliefs.
But even so, it does not mean that the earth can survive under the control of Great Old One. As long as the barrier is broken, the symbols naturally displayed by the nine Great Old One who are eyeing the planet will be enough to tear the earth apart and kill all humans.
It is not even necessary to have all nine Great Old One. The arrival of "Supernova Dominator" alone will destroy all stars including Sun. When Apocalypse comes, the earth will be like other planets.
However, these have nothing to do with what Angel is going to do now. Corresponding thoughts flashed through her mind, entirely because after becoming "half Great Old One", she has been able to do things that ordinary God could only do with the help of God.
She can give Charm used by a certain believer more powerful power in real time, and this can even severely damage God.
Looking at the scene floating in the mirror in front of him, Angel slowly stretched out a hand and pointed at it.
Among Underworld, the battle between the three Angel and the false "Death" has entered a fierce stage.
After being reminded by Reinette, Fors soon discovered that the resurrected "Phoenix Ancestor" was not the real God. After all, he originally owned three copies of "Pale Emperor" and Uniqueness had long been accommodated by Salinger, and then gradually fell into the hands of Evernight Goddess after the latter's death. Even the second Death had no chance to be resurrected, so how could it be Gregrace's turn?
He can open his eyes, bring "Pale Calamity" to the surroundings, and suppress Azik, the descendant of Death, entirely because of his own personality. This kind of personality brought by "Uniqueness" is real. I'm afraid that the corresponding authority can be invoked without the existence of Beyonder Characteristic, unless a new Death is born to take back these authorities, or the Great Old One "Eternal Darkness" appears, integrating all symbols and concepts into one.
And this also means that the three Angel have the opportunity to kill Him and achieve the feat of killing gods!
Thinking of this, Fors, who was used to hiding and being patient when roaming in the starry sky, also felt a burning fire in his heart.
Wait, I am not influenced by a certain Goddess... As soon as this thought flashed through her mind, she was filled with high-spirited fighting spirit. Her body with the light of "Purification" quickly appeared in several places at the same time among the Pale Kingdom, Blink in the depths of Underworld.
Some of these high-frequency Blink figures ignite the surrounding death power with a burning Sun light Purification, restoring the original colors of the pale-covered wilderness, palaces and towers. Releasing thick lightning and attracting meteorites that appeared out of thin air, they hit Phoenix Ancestor, who was spreading his wings and preparing to take off. Fors, who was closest to the core of the palace complex, raised his hands and slammed down like he was holding a heavy object.
Between her two palms, there is a black one that is only the size of a fist, but completely different from the paleness of the sky and the void at the end of the wilderness. It is a complete dead silence that absorbs all light and heat, and is also a huge mass that makes space and time Distortion.
That is the "Reenactment" of the black hole at the center of this Milky Way.
This is the most terrifying and dangerous astronomical phenomenon that Fors has ever seen while roaming the universe. After becoming "Planeswalker", her original "recording" ability has become "Reenactment" that can reproduce the scene. At this time, facing Gregrace who is huge and difficult to avoid, she immediately thought of the gravitational source that can swallow everything.
Of course, a real black hole can swallow even True God, and the scene she reproduces is less than one ten thousandth of the original one, but it is just right to deal with the fake Death, and Underworld no longer has any living things. Fors does not need to worry that this astronomical phenomenon will hurt innocent people and severely damage the planet where it is located.
The edge of the black hole she threw out immediately became brighter. It was the boundary formed by the light Distortion that was attracted by it and had not yet fallen into the event horizon. The towers and palaces below, which had been slowly swallowed by the void and kept collapsing, were lifted up by invisible hands and began to rise and shatter. They were captured by this small star and fell into the black hole along a path with different trajectories but the same end point.
The huge Gregrace was also affected by it and slowly floated up from the dome of the magnificent main hall. The pale flames on his body were attracted by the huge gravity and began to break away from his body.
At this moment, Gregrace flapped its wings suddenly, opened the huge beak between its eyes, and let out a silent roar.
Fors only felt her eyes darken. The golden surface of the Death palace building in front of her, the border of the black hole Blink and the colorless core, as well as her figure appearing in different locations at the same time due to the high speed Teleportation, seemed to have lost their color.
A total of nine Fors immediately merged into one. The Purification Flame on her body had been extinguished by some kind of force, and even her own color disappeared with it. Her brown hair, blue eyes, and elegant stand-up collar dress all turned pale.
This is the "Pale Kingdom" of Death, which means decay, tranquility and death. Thousands of years ago, the corpse-turned-Phoenix Ancestor used this power to destroy the palace of Death and killed countless descendants of the Eggers Family.
In this country, colors will die and Beyonder Ability will wither quickly, which just restrains "Planeswalker" Fors who is used to appearing in multiple locations at the same time to activate different abilities.
Not only her, the black hole that was absorbing everything around it and getting larger and larger also lost its color, turning from a deep black that swallowed up all the light into a solid white. The pale flames and crushed stones attracted by it in the air scattered one after another into the void below.
At this moment, Azik, who had recovered from the suppression of the low-ranking person by the false "Death", raised his hand and took off his silk hat.
On the top of his black hair, he wore a crown made of white bones, like a crown made up of sword blades pointing to the sky. It was just covered by the hat before, but now it was exposed, immediately exuding a strong aura of death, even covering the power of the surrounding Underworld that makes people constantly die.
Sealed Artifact 0-65, "Pale Crown"!
Azik's expression immediately became cold and lonely, as if he had become Fourth Epoch's Balam Empire consul who ignored life. The pale wilderness under his feet was covered by another color that was equally pale but did not belong to Gregrace.
When worn by a member of the Eggers Family, in addition to its original abilities, this bone crown can also greatly Earth Mother strengthen the original Sequence 2 "Death Consul" The ability turns the "Kingdom of Death" ability that can only cover one city into a power that is almost the same as Sequence 1's "Pale World" and can transform the entire country into the Pale Kingdom.
This is why Sia Palenque Eggers, the original owner of Sealed Artifact, is called "Pale Empress" in the person of Sequence 2. Now, Azik uses it to fight against the Pale Kingdom of Gregrace, so that his teammates are not restricted by the surrounding environment!
The "kingdom" belonging to Azik quickly spread over Fors, which had almost lost all its color, allowing her to quickly regain her color. She subconsciously flashed away into the distance, and then re-surrounded "Phoenix Ancestor" with more high-speed Blink figures.
Each of them stretched out their right hands to grab the space beside them, trying to pull out a figure from Historical Void.
In the air, "Abomination" Reinette finally completed his curse.
After solving the black hole of "Reenactment" and about to further expand his kingdom, Gregrace, who locked his eyes on an enemy and sent him "Death Sentence", suddenly froze in the air.
His body, which was supposed to sleep forever in the underworld, no longer fit in with the soul that was gradually growing under the influence of "rebirth", and the body changed from a state dominated by the spirit to a cage of the spirit.
A figure wearing a complicated black dress appeared in his huge bronze eyes.
Using the power of "binding", supplemented by the possession of Wraith, Reinette briefly transcended dimensions and controlled Phoenix, who although he did not have real power, was still God in essence.
A look of struggle flashed in the latter's eyes, and the bound spirit grew again under the influence of "rebirth", trying to break free from the shackles and regain freedom.
Seeing this, Azik, who was wearing "Pale Crown", stretched out his hand to grab Gregrace in the air, trying to extract his new Spirit Body from his body. This may not be successful, but even if it fails, it can still cause chaos to the opponent.
And one of the nine Fors has successfully pulled out a projection from Historical Void, which is Demoness that has not yet become "Apocalypse", Demoness Angel Angel that does not accommodate Uniqueness.
But before they could take any further action, Reinette, who had already appeared in Gregrace's eyes through Mirror Leap, took the initiative to remove himself from possession and turned into a giant rag doll again.
But He has already arrived in front of this huge Phoenix from the sky where River Styx flows, appearing above His bronze eyes and huge beak.
The true purpose of this "Abomination" is to restrain the other party and close the distance, rather than to rely on short-term control to kill the false "Death".
Before Phoenix Gregrace could get rid of Cage's separation of spirit and flesh, body and mind, Reinette, who had blond hair and red eyes, stretched out his long, slender, fair-skinned hand and pressed it against the other person's forehead.
And in his fingers, he held a purple and transparent Charm with countless complex patterns engraved inside.
"Calamity."
As if to make the other party understand, Reinette activated the Charm given by God with Jotun.
At the same time, the power that penetrated Astral World and Spirit World and came to Underworld was poured into Charm.
In the state of both life and death, Spirit Body and flesh and blood have not yet re-fused. The whole body is full of various contradictions and imbalances. "Phoenix Ancestor" instantly disintegrated and exploded in the air, with rotting flesh and blood, pale flames and contamination. Oily feathers scattered one after another, some fell on the magnificent Death palace, some fell on the pointed tops of nearby towers, but most fell into the void below, as if being swallowed by Underworld.
Gregrace, which was only a corpse consisting of a long and narrow body and wing skeletons on both sides, fell heavily on the main hall, making a huge roar that echoed through the Pale Kingdom.
The "Pale Kingdom" created by Him also disappeared at the same time, and was covered by the kingdom formed by Azik with the help of "0-65". Upon seeing this, the latter also restrained its own power, restoring the original colors of the wilderness covered with black broken stone slabs, the gold-inlaid spiers, and the palace engraved with words praising death.
And in this world composed of black and gold, a wisp of crimson aura slowly floated up from the pale corpse of Phoenix Ancestor, escaped in front of several people, and then gathered together, flying towards the huge black bird egg under the corpse of Gregrace, seemingly slowly but urgently.
Just when the breath was about to touch the bird's egg and penetrate into it, a small mirror fell from the air and stopped between the two.
The breath suddenly penetrated into the mirror, dyeing its surface with an ominous red.
PS: Thanks to the leader "hypocrisy Ring of Angel" for the reward! (Actually, it's the trumpet of the boss "Zhuiyi Xiyang"...)
