Regarding the truth about "Apocalypse", "Justice" Audrey actually has some understanding.
That Oldest One originated from her being entrusted by "Empress" Miss. The help has now become Angel, but at that time it was only part of the "Queen Mystic" seal of Sequence 3. About " Great Old One" information, because Audrey was just "Manipulator" at that time, and she could not bear the consequences of knowing this knowledge, so after helping Bernadette, she also sealed her memory about this matter.
Before "Magician" went to the starry sky, Audrey also helped her learn about "Outer Deity" in advance, sealing up this part of her memory. Then, in order to protect herself, she also performed autosuggestion, forgetting the knowledge that only Angel could safely understand.
Although Hypnosis changed herself twice, although it did not affect Audrey's memory, it gave her an inexplicable sense of urgency. She became utilitarian in the process of becoming "Dream Weaver" and secretly promoting Loen Kingdom's many reforms. He even went against his own will and directly manipulated many nobles and congressmen through hints, Hypnosis and other methods to implement policies he believed to be correct in order to speed up the liberation of the Southern Continent colony and the missionary work of the two major churches of "Fool" and "End Times".
It wasn't until he truly became Angel and the memory deep in his heart was unlocked that Audrey knew the real reason for his anxious state of mind. He knew that the planet was facing the threat of "Outer Deity" and that the barrier left by Original Creator was in danger. Apocalypse might arrive this year instead of 1368 as predicted by many prophets.
Although this can explain Orthodox Church's behavior of selecting suitable Sequence 3 and quickly promoting them to Angel, it cannot explain the reason why the members of "Tarot Club" were selected and promoted to Angel regardless of the cost.
According to Audrey, among Psychology Alchemists and Review Council, there are at least four committee members who have already become "Dream Weaver", and Chairman is a senior member who became famous a hundred years ago. Saint, Mind Dragon Edefana's Sequence 2 characteristics make no sense for her, an outsider who is also a member of Tarot Club and is almost considered a "spy".
Not only her, but members such as "Judgment" Xiu, "Moon" Emlyn, "Star" Leonard In the process of being promoted to Sequence 2, they all obviously received some kind of "preference". There seemed to be hidden transactions between God, compromises between the church and secular forces, and the help of more than one high-ranking being.
This gave Audrey a reasonable guess: the promotion of Tarot Club members is related to Mr. "Fool" and "Empress" Miss's faith anchor, the anchor provided by one Angel must be much greater than Saint, and this is the price for the other God's compromise in exchange for the kindness of the two new God.
Thinking of this, Audrey looked around and found that he was not the only one, but several other party members also showed thoughtful expressions, as if they had thought of this.
Ms. "Hermit" has the guidance of Queen Mystic Bernadette, and may have known the truth about Apocalypse; Mr. "Moon" has three Angels in his tribe, Angel and Outer Deity who have lived for thousands of years. The existence of is not a secret; Mr. "Star" seems to be a junior of some ancient Angel Fourth Epoch Zoroast Family. He should understand the dangers of the starry sky... Her eyes lingered on a few people, and finally looked at Ms. "Magician".
She has truly traveled through the starry sky, and she is the first among the eight members to become Angel. She must know something...
Under the focus of everyone's eyes, Fors sat up straight with a smile and said in a thoughtful tone:
"I don't know much more than you do."
And most of them were told to me by Mr. "Door"... She added in her heart.
Next, she told the other members in detail the secrets of "starry sky", "Outer Deity", "Apocalypse is coming", "Creator barrier", including all known Great Old One's Honorific Name, the approximate authority and symbol, and the corresponding Outer Deity Pathway.
There are some things that they already know through Tarot Club's high-level exchanges, but most of them are dangerous information that can only be known safely by becoming Angel, and will not be watched or contaminated by Outer Deity.
While Fors was narrating, the other seven members could feel many sights coming from infinite distance towards them, but they were blocked by Gray Fog and could not penetrate.
If there is no protection from Gray Fog, and they are not Angel, once "Mother Goddess of Depravity", "Circle of Inevitability" and other Outer Deity are formed in the mind The complete concept of Great Old One will inevitably fall into the field of vision of these Great Old One, and establish a close connection with it in mysticism. It will either be secretly contaminated, gradually lose control, or die suddenly on the spot, becoming an unsolved case in the Orthodox Church file.
"So, the 'Circle Inhabitant' I met that day was the believer of 'Circle of Inevitability', the Demigod who was gifted by Outer Deity..."
Leonard said in an erratic tone.
"A month ago, I met the ancestor in a dream. In addition to giving me a copy of 'Life-Giver' so that I could be promoted to Angel as soon as possible, he also entrusted me with a copy of 'Beauty Goddess' characteristics and told me to keep it carefully."
Emlyn said with some regret. He did not tell all the other Tarot Club members about Lilith's instructions, because it contained an important secret about God:
"Earth Mother" Lilith believes that he may die next, and is making arrangements for resurrection and rebirth.
Now that he knew the truth about Apocalypse, and that the two Beyonder Pathways "mother" and "Moon" were derived from the most powerful Pillar-level Great Old One "Mother Goddess of Depravity", he understood the current experience of his ancestor, and understood that the responsibilities and burdens on him were much heavier than previously imagined.
"Hermit" Cattleya and "Judgment" Xio had previously known some truths from Bernadette and Fors respectively, but after such a systematic understanding of the threats facing the earth, his heart became heavy.
However, "Hanged Man" Alger and "Sun" Derrick knew nothing about Outer Deity and the threat of the starry sky before this gathering. This was mainly because they did not have a familiar Angel around them. Even if they became Sequence 2, they would not be able to learn more secret knowledge.
The reason why Fors explained in detail was mainly to let these two members know everything.
"So, Apocalypse is coming in July? This... there are only two months left, right?"
Alger murmured, the joy of becoming Angel in his heart had disappeared, leaving only confusion about the future.
After taking Potion in Shadow World and becoming "Profane Presbyter", with complete divinity, he was still a little worried that his humanity was not rich enough. He could only maintain a balance with the help of "Church of the Sea God" and the Beyonder he had cultivated. Only now did he realize that the humanity in his body was not only abundant, but also a little too abundant.
"Not necessarily," Fors shook his head and said, "One of my elders once said, don't believe too much in the results of prophecies and divination. The revelation of fate is just the bottom line, not the reality...'Empress'Miss The prophecy revealed is that 'at the end of July 1354, crimson will fall from the sky.' This seems to be the moment when Mother Goddess of Depravity breaks the barrier and brings Apocalypse, but it does not mean the beginning of Apocalypse."
"In other words, depending on the direction of interpretation, Apocalypse may arrive earlier?"
Cattleya, who used to be "Clairvoyant" but has now been promoted to "Sage", took over the conversation and said thoughtfully.
"Perhaps further, all God, Outer Deity who hope to stop Apocalypse, hope that Apocalypse can arrive as soon as possible, and even fate itself will cause the prophecy to change. Apocalypse may be two months later, maybe it will be postponed for several years, maybe... just tomorrow.
"This is the wonder of fate, even for those Great Existence."
Fors replied in an erratic tone.
Compared to other members, she knew the truth about Apocalypse earlier. She also experienced the moment when "Giant of Light" appeared in the depths of everyone's hearts a month ago. With the explanation of Mr. "Door" Bethel, she understood that it was Second Epoch who was born and established the history of mankind. However, in The signs of the true return of "Ancient Sun God", which fell at the end of Third Epoch, revealed that the earth has given birth to the first true "Great Old One", and it is Great Existence, who is the same Pillar-level Great Old One as Mother Goddess of Depravity.
But what puzzled her was that in the next month, except for some secret changes in the two major churches "Storm" and "Wisdom", everything was calm, and the Astral World barrier seemed to be broken. When it comes to reinforcement, Outer Deity no longer makes joint attacks on the barrier, and even the seal of the Western Continent is silent, as if the birth of "God Almighty" is just the collective hysteria of everyone on the earth.
This made her not sure about the specific time of Apocalypse's arrival, so she could only use the words "fate is wonderful" to explain the past.
But no matter whether Apocalypse is two months from now or two years from now, it still means a sudden heavy burden for them.
Everyone has their own family and friends to protect, and they all have tasks assigned to them by ethnic groups and organizations. After becoming Angel, they more or less have a natural sense of responsibility for the country and the entire human race, and realize that they are no longer a weak existence hiding under the wings of other Angel and God.
They themselves become other people's Guardian.
"What should we do?"
"Sun" Derrick asked in a low and hoarse voice.
This seemed to be the most pressing question in his mind that he had been thinking about for a long time.
Under his earnest gaze, "Magician" Miss shook his head again:
"Frankly speaking, I don't know either. I have seen things in the starry sky that you can't imagine. It is a huge gravitational source with a range that exceeds the entire galaxy. It is a thin canvas depicting hundreds of planets. It is a hole that stretches for millions of light years to prevent the decay of all things and the end of time... Those are the traces left by the battle between 'Great Old One', and it is a power that Angel cannot touch at all.
"Even the gods we once feared will not be able to form effective resistance in this battle if they cannot become the real Great Old One before Apocalypse."
During her cold narration, all the newly promoted Angel present lowered their heads, feeling powerless from the bottom of their hearts.
In a war that even Sequence 0 gods cannot participate in, what role can these newly promoted angels, angels who have not yet truly mastered their own powers, play?
"Maybe, we still have some use..."
Suddenly, "Justice" Miss's strong and powerful voice sounded.
"Those Great Existence outside the barrier also have their own Angel. They are also unable to participate in frontal battles, but they can still destroy the planet we are on and kill all ordinary people...
"There are a total of nine Great Existence outside the barrier. If we add the 'Uncertain Mist' who Miss Magician said was severely injured and retired, there are ten. under their command There may be hundreds of Angels. If they bypass the frontal battlefield and attack the earth, try to kill all ordinary people and shake their 'faith', it will inevitably worsen the condition of the Gods who are confronting Outer Deity.
"This little bit of interference may be the key to determining the outcome of the war."
Audrey did not continue, but everyone understood what she meant:
In the War of Doomsday of "king vs. king, soldier vs. soldier", they are not without any role. The Angel that fights against the Outer Deitys and the anchor that protects the God are also very important.
"And don't forget, we are also the anchors of Mr. 'Fool' and Mr. 'Empress' Miss, and are their important support."
"Hanged Man" Alger was no longer confused as before. He raised his head and looked directly at everyone, and concluded in a firm tone, as if he had found New Goal.
Under his gaze, the other members also felt a burning fire called "responsibility" arise in their hearts, and they straightened up again and no longer bowed their heads.
Seeing that they were recovering from the shock of "Apocalypse"'s truth, "Magician" Fors also smiled and continued:
"Yes, no matter when Apocalypse arrives, our goal has never changed, which is to protect our family and friends around us, and help within our ability..."
Her vision went dark, and the palace, tables, chairs, and other members in the mist all disappeared, turning into bright gas lamps, tables with refreshments, and modular sofas.
They were all shrouded in a hazy red color, like dried blood.
Xio, who was sitting opposite with his whole body buried in the sofa, also opened his eyes and looked here doubtfully.
In an instant, both of them realized that "Tarot Club" had ended prematurely.
Then, Red Light spilled out of the window into the living room, attracting Fors's attention. Her body instantly disappeared from the sofa and appeared by the window, with one hand pressing Xio's shoulder who also came to the window.
Outside the window is not the afternoon sun, but Crimson Moon rising little by little.
It was several times larger than the usual Blood Moon. It seemed to have appeared on the edge of the treetops or on the roof, very close at hand, as bright as blood.
Leonard suddenly woke up from the shadows. He jumped up, dissipated the "hidden" power, and made a thud on the ground. He looked around doubtfully and found that he had indeed returned to the study at home.
The sound attracted a confused greeting from Shermane who was singing a song to the fetus in his belly downstairs, but he had no time to pay attention. Instead, he followed the guidance of Spirituality who was feeling high for some reason and looked towards the window.
There stood an old man with all white hair, dark brown eyes, and not too obvious wrinkles on his forehead and corners of his eyes. He was bathed in blood-red light, and the shadows on his face looked a bit weird.
"Old Man? "Leonard shouted in confusion, "What happened just now?"
Why was I kicked out by Tarot Club? As for the others... He still had more doubts in his heart, but he was immediately attracted by the sudden rise of Blood Moon outside the window, and felt a strong uneasiness in his heart.
"Justice" Audrey opens his eyes in Empress Borough's Earl mansion, South District is surrounded by dolls "Moon" Emlyn who woke up in the Berserk Sea, Future who was jolted in the Berserk Sea looked at Crimson Moon through his glasses "Hermit" Cattleya, Bayam's Church of the Sea God Headquarters puts on the mask again "Hanged Man" Alger, "Sun" Derrick in New City of Silver opens the balcony door and looks at the city illuminated by Crimson Moon...
And all the Angels on the earth who belong to major churches or secret organizations, or are hiding alone in society, all saw the blood-red moon getting bigger and bigger at this moment, almost touching the ground, and heard the instructions of their respective Gods in their ears.
Apocalypse, arrived ahead of schedule.
