Under the moonlight, several of the most powerful beings on this planet and even the entire universe descended here in their own ways.
"Lord of Mysteries" Klein comes here as Marionette wearing a windbreaker and a top hat. Of course, with his power, he can use Marionettization as his real body at any time, or use the same authority and ability as his real body.
"God Almighty" Grisha came here with the body of "Imagination" or a shadow clone. Gray didn't see it, but I believe he wouldn't use his body to come here at will.
The Divine Descent Vessel that "Eternal Darkness" Amanises often used, and "Mother of the Sky" Philanias have been returned to his family. This time it should be the arrival of the real body.
Of course, "Calamity of Destruction" Angel also arrived in the real body. She could have used the nearly infinite Mirror Substitution to enter reality, and she controlled everything in Mirror World. However, as another part closely connected with her, Gray could feel that what was in front of her was the real Great Old Dominator, not a mirror image.
Seeing the sudden appearance of the farewell person, Gray sighed secretly and quietly retracted the circle of complex symbols and lines that could activate the power of "City of Calamity".
Her wish to sneak away without alerting anyone seemed impossible.
Noting that Charm was still engraved on the peak like indelible marks after being completely destroyed by Church of Storms, Angel secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After she discovered that Gray had sneaked out of City of Calamity, she immediately realized what the other party wanted to do. Without any delay, she contacted Klein, Grisha and Amanises, and came here to stop Gray.
Of course, Angel understands that Gray's departure is inevitable. She comes from another world and does not belong here. Moreover, with the help of the two Pillars from that world, the purpose of "traveling" has been achieved, leaving Apocalypse to end up in a completely different situation. There is not enough reason to stay.
Although Gray made himself the body of "Angel Granger" when he first traveled through time, and the original Angel became Mirror Person, but as the resurrection method left by "Original Creator", The special properties of Demoness Pathway allow the main body to be integrated with Mirror Person, or to replace each other. This creates Mirror Person deep in Trier who always want to replace the main body, and also makes the difference between "Angel" and "Gray" blurred.
In the end, Angel, who originally belonged to this world, became True God and was promoted to Great Old One. Even though she was essentially Mirror Person, she became the real Great Existence at this time. This actually made the name "Gray" This existence has become a bit embarrassing. She neither belongs to Mirror Substitution who is truly separated and has little independent consciousness, but also has independent consciousness. Unlike other "Unaging" Demoness and Mirror Person, she is completely integrated with herself and cannot be distinguished from each other, or is enslaved.
Especially after Angel ended War of Doomsday and initially stabilized her own state, she no longer needed to master a single Demoness Pathway and Gray to master Red Priest Pathway to prevent the Yin and Yang sides of "Mirror Creator" in the body from contacting and merging. Instead, like other Great Old Dominator, she could accommodate all the Pathway subordinate to Sefirah. She just needed an additional "Apocalypse" Demoness characteristic to maintain the feminine-dominated state and suppress the Masculine Aspect of Oldest One.
This is a good thing in Angel's opinion. She can re-separate Gray, who was fused with her when she became "Calamity of Destruction", and give the other party room to move freely, which is equivalent to having one more Mirror Person who shares part of Great Old One's power.
But it seems that this is not a good thing in the eyes of Gray. She repeatedly mentioned that "the time travel must eventually end with Closed Loop". She actually wanted to return to the future where there is no hope, return to Timeline where the barrier has been broken and the earth has no ability to resist Outer Deity, and accept her own ending.
According to their speculations, Bansy Harbor's runes activated by Gray instead of Angel will be sent back to the time before she "travelled", which is the year 1368 of another Timeline, with a maximum delay of about 10 minutes.
By then, Gray will face ten Great Old Dominator, but there is not even a normal Great Old One on Earth. Judging from the experience of Angel War of Doomsday, just "Supernova Dominator" approaching the earth without barrier protection is enough to cause the planet to be torn apart by gravity. Sequence 0 True God, which has lost its anchor of faith, will have an impossible task just to maintain its own existence, let alone fight against them.
Landing in front of Gray, looking at the face that was almost the same as his own, Angel sighed softly and said:
"Since there is only despair over there, why not stay in the world you are trying to save?"
Klein, Grisha and Amanises also landed slightly further away. They did not disturb their conversation, but just used the power of concealment, shadow curtain and other powers to isolate the space.
Hearing Angel's almost questioning tone, Gray shook his head and replied:
"After all, this is not my world, and they... are not the people I know. My home is on the other side, in the world that is about to be destroyed."
As she spoke, she glanced sideways at the few bystanders who were watching quietly, and continued:
"Although your friends and partners look the same and have almost the same personality as the ones I remember, they are not the same people I have been through.
"Even though my memory in the other Timeline has become no longer clear, as if separated by a layer of fog, I still remember where I came from.
"There is no place for me here."
"Of course!" Angel immediately retorted, and then lowered his voice. Even if several onlookers around him were Great Old One, the volume of the voice had no effect on them. "I am your Mirror Person... you are mine too. Everything I have belongs to you, the church, faith, friends and relatives. Wait until it is processed. For the question of 'Mirror Creator', I can give you a copy of 'Apocalypse', or 'Conqueror'. In Tarot Club you are 'Chariot', in the church you are the pope, in Mirror World you are me..."
Having said this, Angel glanced at Klein, who was wearing a top hat and smiling politely, and his voice dropped a little lower.
"Except him, of course."
This supplement finally made Gray laugh. She burst out laughing and hugged Angel helplessly, blocking out the rest of the latter's words.
"Okay, I have thought about this before 'travelling'. No matter whether I succeed or fail here, I will return to the starting point and face my 'Apocalypse'."
Gray whispered in Angel's ear.
"This world no longer needs me, but that world still needs me. Besides, if I don't complete this 'Closed Loop', I might not be here in the first place. Without this variable, the world you live in will end up in despair like mine Apocalypse."
What Gray said is only a small probability event. The greater possibility is that "Timeline" on both sides are independent of each other and do not interfere with each other. The part that has become history will not change because of her choice.
But no one dares to bet on this probability.
All the reasons he had prepared before could not be expressed. Angel just sighed in his heart, and in turn hugged Gray tightly, saying goodbye to her for the last time.
At this moment, she even had the urge to accompany him to the other Timeline to help Gray save Apocalypse.
But she knew that as Great Old Dominator, she had lost this ability to "travel". The two copies of "Uniqueness" that supported her to accommodate Sefirah could not travel to the past or future through the characteristics of City of Calamity. And if the clone of one "Apocalypse" person was used, it was impossible to change the situation of another Timeline.
Abandoning the flesh and blood body and Beyonder Characteristic, using the person of "God Almighty" Imagination to only keep Spirit Body to travel is the only way, and it is also the choice made by Klein and Grisha of another Timeline.
Seeing Persuasion, Angel, Gray slowly released their arms, broke away from the other party's embrace that was unwilling to let go, and looked at the other three bystanders.
As Great Old Dominator, who knows the origin of Angel Gray and can also deduce the importance of "Closed Loop", neither of them tried to persuade the other to stay, they just came to say goodbye.
Klein took off his hat and put it on his chest, bowed slightly and saluted, and said:
"I hope you can find a way to survive Apocalypse over there."
This is a blessing, and it is the only thing he can do. Even if he becomes "King of Space-Time", Klein cannot really change the past. This is something that only Oldest One, Creator, can do.
Even if he gathers all the authority and symbols of Great Existence present, he can only send a Demoness who is no older than Sequence 1 and is related to "City of Calamity" to the past, and what is the use of that... Thinking of this, Klein was also startled.
Beside him, "Eternal Darkness" Amanises lifted her skirt and bent down, saying in a soft voice:
"Thank you for everything."
He looked calm, as if he already knew that this moment was inevitable.
The last person to speak was "God Almighty" Grisha:
"Since your purpose of coming here is to save the world, then a perfect ending is the best reward for you."
"I thought you would say these were necessary sacrifices."
Gray answered with a chuckle, then looked at Angel, leaned close to her ear and said:
"Having a child may be a good way to maintain humanity. That Primordial God Almighty gave birth to two before going crazy."
Before Angel's expression changed and he opened his mouth to refute, Gray took two steps back, stepped on the altar with complicated patterns and symbols that suddenly brightened, took a deep breath, looked at the crowd with a smile, and said:
"After that, it's you..."
Before she finished speaking, her figure disappeared above the altar.
Klein's hand holding the top hat tightened, Amanises's face seemed to be enveloped by Black Veil, and Grisha's face that had always been smiling became stiff.
Angel even took a few steps forward, as if he wanted to follow his Mirror Person into the altar and head to that desperate future together.
But reason stopped her, and she finally stopped at the periphery of the gradually dimming runes. She looked down at the black and blood-stained "City of Calamity" power leakage point, and was speechless for a long time.
This silence lasted for a full three minutes. Suddenly, Klein said in an exploratory tone:
"In Angel Gray's view, her future is a world where Apocalypse is approaching and there is no hope, but is this really the case?"
Angel looked at him with some confusion, and the other two Great Old One also looked at him, waiting for his subsequent explanation.
"That's it," Klein walked to Angel and stood in front of the altar where Gray had just been sent away. He continued, "After I became 'Lord of Mysteries', I realized the essence of the 'parallel world' problem, and used 'door' Pathway as the gateway to all mysterious worlds. The key can open and enter other parallel worlds, but there is no other 'Lord of Mysteries' and 'God Almighty' there, nor is there a second batch of Outer Deity that besieged the earth... It is just a space similar to Mirror World, and there is no more Beyonder Characteristic than the original number."
As he spoke, he looked at Angel.
"Therefore, the essence of the parallel world is still a subset of this universe. Otherwise, we can completely open the door and go to other worlds to plunder more Beyonder Characteristic or even Uniqueness and Sefirah to enrich our own world."
"No one can change Law of Conservation of Beyonder Characteristics except that Creator."
Amanises added.
Regarding this point, Gray has also emphasized that even if you go back to the past time point through "City of Calamity" and let two "Angel" exist in the current time, it will not make the Beyonder Characteristic I own become two copies, because this is essentially Mirror World The manifestation of 's power will disappear after the overlapping part of time is over, and the power of Mirror World comes from Creator in the mirror, which does not violate the conservation of reality Beyonder Characteristic... Angel thought about it and asked subconsciously:
"You mean, there is no Timeline of the second 'Apocalypse'?
"Where does Gray come from?"
Suddenly, Angel was stunned.
After Gray came to this Timeline, Beyonder Characteristic could not maintain it for a long time, and even its own existence had to depend on another Angel... each other Mirror Person's plan went so smoothly, without any coordination problems... She was so dedicated to completing "Closed Loop", as if it was a task rooted in her heart... Questions popped up in Angel's mind, making her eyes gradually widen.
"Could it be that there is no second parallel world and all of this happens in our universe?"
She had a rough idea, and it seemed like she was asking Klein questions, but she was actually leading the conversation.
Klein nodded, looked at Grisha who had a smile on his face, and said:
"The point is, Gray has given us the answer. She traveled through the time with the help of 'Lord of Mysteries' and 'God Almighty'."
The latter obviously understood this and immediately replied:
"I will be responsible for the false memory part, but I need your cooperation and the cooperation of Sefirah Castle, otherwise once 'Chariot' Miss joins Tarot Club, everything will be exposed."
"You hide and observe us every day. There should be no omissions in the details, but I have to adjust the part about 'Dream City'. I asked that world in detail how she awakened 'Fool'."
Klein took over the conversation with a smile on his face.
Only then did Angel understand the meaning of these two Pillar, and the dull mood that Gray had left was gone.
She glanced at Klein and Grisha as if confirming, and said:
"So, Gray is really my 'Mirror Person'?"
Klein nodded and said:
"As long as she can deceive her and deceive us before, she will."
At this time, Amanises suddenly said in a chanting tone:
"This is all a destiny stone..."
"Okay, this is a bit too secondary..." Klein rarely interrupted Goddess, "Hurry up, if you miss the time of Gray's 'Back to the Future', I'm afraid Closed Loop won't be able to complete it."
Hearing this, Angel no longer hesitated, and immediately let Mirror Substitution, who was on standby in Mirror World, come to reality, and let go of the authority of "Mirror Ruler", making the expression of the stand-in with dull eyes gradually become more vivid, as if it had become another her.
At the same time, "God Almighty" Grisha put a copy of the "Apocalypse" characteristics from Imagination into this body, giving her the temporary Sequence 1 personality.
Along with this characteristic are all the memories about "Angel Gray", part of which comes from the information he obtained from this Mirror Substitution five years ago, and part of which comes from the details of Klein and "Grafting" in his mind.
If it's not detailed enough, just pass it off as "the memory is gradually blurring"!
What "Lord of Mysteries" Klein wants to do is to turn the modified memory in the avatar's mind into her own and fix it with the power of Sefirah Castle.
In this way, even if Angel Gray boards Gray Fog and becomes a member of Tarot Club, the modifications made by Grisha will not be cleared by the power of Sefirah.
In Gray Fog's view, it was the modification made by "Sefirah Castle" himself.
After completing all this, Mirror Substitution, who looked exactly the same as Angel, but with slightly different facial expressions, slowly opened his eyes.
Her mind was a little confused, and she couldn't tell where she was for a moment, but soon, countless memories came to her mind, making her eyes panic and her expression a little frightened.
"Mother Goddess of Depravity" entered the barrier... Outer Deity was about to invade, but the earth had no resistance... Angel Gray pursed his lips and subconsciously looked up to the sky, but noticed two familiar figures in front of him.
It was Mr. "Fool" and Adam after fusion with "True Creator"... She immediately entered her role, squeezed out a smile and asked:
"Dear Mr. Fool, may I ask, has Apocalypse arrived?"
Klein put the hat on his head, shook his head and said:
"Apocalypse is coming soon, but we still have the only chance...
"Now, 'God Almighty' and I will send you back to 1349, to the moment when you just came into this world.
"Only in this way can you save Apocalypse and yourself."
Looking at "Mirror Person" who looked dazed but whose eyes gradually became firmer, Angel, whose figure was hidden by Amanises with "secret" authority, suppressed a smile and activated the power of "City of Calamity" to send this "Angel Gray" back to the past.
She will return to June 28, 1349 in the early morning, return to Tingen City Daffodil Street, and tell Adam and Amanises who come after hearing the news about the "future". Then, after completing the 5 years of arduous road, she will try her best to save the world and spend War of Doomsday with minimal losses.
Later, she would say goodbye to Angel, step onto the same altar with the feeling of returning to her "original Timeline" and die generously, and return to the early morning of June 28, 1354.
The time will only be delayed by 10 minutes at most...
Thinking of this, Angel left the "secret" area and returned to the altar where he had just sent away his Mirror Person, waiting for that figure to appear.
The same goes for Klein, Grisha and Amanises.
The moment their eyes focused on the altar, the symbols and lines under their feet brightened again, outlining a figure with long pale golden hair.
"...It's your time."
Along with what he had not finished speaking 10 minutes ago, Angel Gray appeared above the altar.
Her face, which was holding on to a smile, collapsed instantly, and then turned into determination in the face of everything.
Then, she noticed four figures standing in front of her that she had just said goodbye to, belonging to "another Timeline".
"I... I failed to travel through time?"
Gray's expression was dull, and he squeezed out a question from the gap in his mouth.
