The deepest layer of Underground Catacombs is physically connected to the cave where Fourth Epoch Trier is buried.
The body of "Genie", covered in golden light and with a greenish-white interior, is gradually becoming condensed in Gray Fog, and the blank facial features are slowly taking shape. This is because He, who has been sealed and isolated from the outside world for a long time, is re-adapting and transforming the rules, so that his Great Old One level personality can become more powerful.
Because He has nothing left except His person.
Next to him, Klein, who was wearing the same windbreaker and top hat as Daffodil Street himself, and a black dress. Angel, who was not wearing any jewelry, was watching his movements quietly.
Finally, the golden water-like skin on the outside of Genie merged with the bluish-white light inside, and the outline became clear. The entire figure looked like an adult whose gender and age could not be discerned. There were only a few black holes in the facial features, lacking a unique image.
This is the limit of what He can do without restoring the complete Mythical Creature Form.
And the Klein and Angel present are not the real body. If the two Great Existences "Lord of Mysteries" and "Calamity of Destruction" want to come to reality, they must devote a large part of their energy to suppress the changes in rules and symbols that naturally occur around them. Although it will not destroy the entire earth in an instant, it is still inconvenient.
Just like Klein, who was telling his two daughters about his sudden disappearance of a million pounds, and Angel, who was carefully making stew at No. 6 Daffodil Street in Tingen City, they were just marionettes and mirror doubles here.
Of course, when I occasionally get close to my daughters, their real bodies will come, but at that time other Great Existence will also cast their eyes, so it can only be occasional.
Looking at the golden humanoid whose body had stopped changing, Klein stroked his smooth chin with his hand. Instead of answering his previous question about "acting", he asked:
"Now should I continue to call you 'Genie', or should I call you 'Son of Chaos'?"
"Let's use the original name. When I really take back part of the power of the starry sky, I will use the latter one." "Genie", who was more clearly summoned from Magic Wishing Lamp, replied, "I didn't expect that you would really abide by your previous promise, and instead of sending 'Magic Wishing Lamp' directly to the starry sky, you would directly release me from the seal."
"Because you have also helped us with some things and made some contributions to protecting the earth. Moreover, I don't want to waste a copy of the characteristics of 'Miracle Invoker'."
Klein replied with a smile.
"Besides, you can unlock six of the seven seals by yourself. Although I have weakened the first six seals so that you can unlock them yourself and gain some sense of participation, the last one can only be done by me myself, otherwise it won't work even if True God comes. Trunsoest is the 'role model'."
Hearing the name of God, who was contaminated by "Magic Wishing Lamp" and himself, and eventually died, even a shameless person like Genie couldn't help but twist his newly formed body, but in the end he bowed slightly and saluted in the way of an earthling:
"At this point, I want to thank you for your kindness."
After reluctantly thanking him, he looked at Klein and Angel doubtfully, and then asked:
"Now, can you let me go back to the starry sky?"
He always felt that the two Great Existence coming here together would bring some changes to his journey of freedom. If it weren't for the Gray Fog surrounding him, he would have left this galaxy long ago in Distortion space and distance.
You must know that the current "Lord of Mysteries" is equal to the previous "Celestial Worthy" in terms of person, authority and symbol. Since he can be released from the seal, he can naturally be sealed back at any time, not to mention that there is another "Calamity of Destruction" beside him.
The tragedy of "Supernova Dominator" is still vivid in my mind!
As if noticing the hesitation and fear in His heart, Klein smiled kindly and replied:
"Of course it's no problem, but before that, I have something to remind you."
He looked up at the ceiling of Underground Catacombs, as if looking through the ground and the city above to the starry sky, and continued:
"The Sefirah 'Nation of Disorder' you originally owned has now been completely divided into two parts. This part of the earth belongs to the new 'Shadow of Order'. I think you should not There will be plans to take it back, and that part of the starry sky belongs to 'Uncertain Mist'. He was severely damaged in front of War of Doomsday, and is still hiding deep in the void of a thin universe somewhere, waiting for recovery.
"This raises three questions.
"First, Sefirah itself has a tendency to repair and complete. Although the part of Nation of Disorder in the starry sky is missing two Pathway and has lost part of its authority and symbol, it is still a complete Sefirah. 'Uncertain Mist' is also a complete but slightly weaker Great Old One, you have the same personality, spirit, and consciousness, so you are definitely not his opponent. Although you two have the same origin, and Uncertain Mist also has the tendency to complete himself, when the new 'Son of Chaos' is born, will it still be you? In other words, how much of it will be 'Genie', and how much of it will be 'Uncertain Mist'?"
Klein asked with a smile on his lips, watching with satisfaction that "Genie"'s face with only holes in its facial features became stiff.
His question was very pointed, because there was a good example on Earth: "True Creator" Grisha and "Visionary" Adam.
Both of these are essentially part of the Ancient Sun God Grisha Adam. The former is more of a fusion of negative emotions and human nature, while the latter is dominated by divinity and is his back-up man for resurrection and the pawn to execute subsequent plans.
Although in the end the two compromised each other and allowed Ancient Sun God Reenactment to come into the world, in the final analysis it was because both sides had a spirit of sacrifice that was higher than themselves and had a common goal, so they directly completed the integration without going through a divine war. Otherwise, before Outer Deity invaded the earth, there would have been fierce fighting inside the barrier, and that would be what "Primordial God Almighty" would most like to see.
As for the current "Genie" and "Uncertain Mist"? Klein doesn't think they will have such a spirit of sacrificing themselves. By then, the latter who have already occupied Sefirah, Beyonder Characteristic, and Uniqueness will have a great advantage. Genie thinks that he is going to restore his strength, but in fact he may just become the nourishment for the other party to complete himself and become "Son of Chaos" again.
Genie had obviously thought of this question for a long time. At this time, "Lord of Mysteries" brought it up again, his expression gradually became serious, but Klein did not give him time to think and continued to ask:
"Second, Armistice Agreement still has a big month for 'Mother Goddess of Depravity', which is more than 2100 Earth years, and there are still 46 years for other Outer Deity, but there are no constraints between Outer Deity. Facing 'Son of Chaos' that has just completed the integration of some Sefirah without some internal wars, what will they do?"
The earth now has two Pillars "Lord of Mysteries" and "God Almighty", and there are many Great Old Dominators guarding it, even if there is no Armistice Agreement Outer Deity does not dare to attack, but Outer Deity such as "High-Dimensional Overseer" is also eyeing "Nation of Disorder" and its symbols and powers.
Even if "Genie" can dominate the fusion process and become the main component of the new Son of Chaos, how will it resist the attacks of other Outer Deity?
Thinking of this, Genie's face turned a little whiter, almost the same color as the green with white inside when he was just released from the seal.
"Third," the Klein Demon-like voice continued, "Even if you want to find 'Uncertain Mist' in the short period of time before he recovers from his weakness, and use yourself as the leader to complete the fusion, will 'Mother Goddess of Depravity' agree?"
"On one side is 'Uncertain Mist' who has cooperated with Him and almost succeeded, and on the other side is 'Genie' who has helped the earth several times, intentionally or unintentionally causing damage to the former and indirectly destroying the alliance between Outer Deity. Which side will He choose to help?
"With a little help from 'new life', Uncertain Mist can recover from his injuries in advance. By then, you will not have any chance after entering the starry sky."
These three questions hit Genie's heart like a heavy hammer, making his luminous body almost solidify into real gold.
It's not that he hadn't thought about these things within "Magic Wishing Lamp" and had gone through a considerable degree of deduction. But firstly, his main purpose at that time was to get rid of the seal, and he always felt that all difficulties would have solutions. Secondly, after many times of Fooling and deception, he didn't think that the new "Lord of Mysteries" would put him back into the starry sky so simply, so these problems were not a problem.
But when He is really released and can really return to the stars, these become fatal problems.
After a while, Genie looked at the two Great Existence in front of him, especially Klein who asked a pointed question, but did not seem to be laughing at him. He asked in a bitter and human voice:
"Do you have any suggestions about any of this?"
"Just like you helped us then, I will give you three suggestions," Klein smiled again and replied, "Of course, I am not responsible for the interpretation either."
"First of all, is it really a good thing for you to return to the stars now? You have witnessed countless things during the nearly ten thousand years of sealing, and have gained a little bit of precious humanity that is different from other Outer Deity. You should not act solely on instinct.
"Secondly, in order for Earth's 'Shadow of Order' to have no worries, after the 60-year Armistice Agreement is over, we will look for 'Uncertain Mist'.
"Finally, He has allies, can't you?"
After Klein's words fell, Underground Catacombs fell into a long silence. Genie's golden figure stood motionless, as if thinking deeply.
For a long time, he seemed to be changing the subject, or looking at Angel to test, and said:
"I'm a little curious, why did you deliberately let your daughters find 'Magic Wishing Lamp' and carry out this day's Travel, and also asked me to provide the necessary protection and let so many Angel participate in it?
"If my guess is correct, this is also for 'humanity'?"
Hearing this, Angel laughed. The smile made "Lord of Mysteries" on the side look sideways, and "Genie" fell into a brief daze.
"You should have seen her true identity?"
she asked rhetorically.
"Of course, I'm not as brainless as the part that stayed in the starry sky. I could see at first sight that she was no ordinary person, not even a human being." Genie wanted to sneer, but under the gazes of the two Great Existence, he still didn't dare to be so bold. "She, or rather He, is the negative side of Mirrored Original Creator."
Angel was not surprised when he heard the other party tell the answer directly. Instead, he glanced at Klein beside him and said with a smile:
"Look, let me just say it. As a part of 'Son of Chaos', as one of the direct descendants of Creator from Oldest One, Genie should be the most sensitive to this kind of thing. After all, a son always needs to know his father, no, it's his mother's."
Although this ridicule did not carry the power of "provocation", it still made "Genie"'s originally pale face become a bit blue.
Of course, he was more sensitive to the gap in strength between the two sides, and quickly calmed down, waiting for the other party's further explanation.
Angel also put away his smile and continued:
"Tina is indeed the 'Feminine Aspect' I separated, but she is also the daughter I directly gave birth to. If Mirrored Original Creator's personality and power were intact, I would definitely not dare to do this, but her current state is similar to that of Cheek when she was locked deep in the mirror. She has no personality and no power, let alone the corresponding symbol.
"With the help of 'Feminine Aspect' that separates Tina, I can better seal 'Masculine Aspect' and completely silence the part of Mirror Creator that has not yet given birth to self-awareness.
"After completing all this, in addition to leaving Mirrored Original Creator with no chance of resurrection, I can also completely separate Angel Gray, making her a truly independent existence. I can also eliminate the excess Beyonder Characteristic as much as possible to prepare for the subsequent accommodation of the second Sefirah.
"Of course, the biggest difficulty in this matter is that Mirrored Original Creator's 'Feminine Aspect' has already acquired a certain degree of self-awareness in the hands of Cheek. If it is not controlled, it will inevitably wake up in Tina's body, and no one can predict the final result."
During her narration, Genie kept nodding her head and said as if talking to herself:
"So, you designed this 'adventure' so that she could be exposed to the world of occultism in advance, learn many secrets, and at the same time understand the difference between 'human nature' and 'divine nature' with your own knowledge, and choose the former to consolidate this with your own personality?"
As he said that, he glanced at Klein.
"This should be the idea of 'Lord of Mysteries', right?"
"It's mainly her plan," Klein answered honestly, "I just provided a little help. Of course, it is indispensable to your 'Fooling'. Other 'Tarot Club' Angels also participated, and they also know some inside information."
Genie nodded as if his doubts had been answered, and then laughed:
"Your other daughter should also know."
6 Daffodil Street.
Tina's head was still a little groggy, and she kept calculating the market price of a single-family house in Backlund's West District, and how much a winery in the suburbs was worth. She couldn't believe that just by leaving the house, she changed from a daughter of a middle-class family in Tingen City to a child of a wealthy family. Even the "Black Bear Coke" that the students loved to drink was their own product!
Did Genie realize my wish, or did He already know about my family's situation and lie to me that my wish has "already" come true... His eyes repeatedly looked at the entrance of the basement, Tina wished he could sneak in now and call that Genie for confrontation.
Of course, she guessed that the guy who had regained his freedom might have returned to the starry sky now, leaving behind only the empty shell of "Magic Wishing Lamp".
Compared to her who was confused and confused, Dorothy was calmer. She looked at her sister who was sitting on the sofa without saying a word, and then at her father who was smiling and waiting for his two daughters to digest the heavy news, and finally couldn't help but ask:
"Dad, do you really have nothing else to say? I mean... things other than property."
Hearing this, Klein raised his eyebrows in surprise, moved his eyes upward, and looked behind Dorothy.
Angel arrived at the living room at some point, and the smell of stew came from the kitchen behind her.
Seeing Klein looking at her, she smiled and rubbed Dorothy's head and said:
"She must have inherited my keen instincts."
"It's obviously my Wisdom..." Klein muttered, sitting upright under Angel's sharp eyes, nodded and continued, "Yes, in addition to the 'wealth' just now, Angel and I also hid something from you."
Sure enough... Dorothy pursed her lips, while Tina beside her raised her head curiously, feeling hopeful again.
"Sure enough, you were once Angel?"
She asked first.
Huh? Klein's expression also became stiff for a moment. He looked at Dorothy and found that the girl was covering her forehead helplessly, so he nodded slightly and said:
"Yes, your mother and I were originally Angel, Angel in the mystical sense."
He breathed a long sigh of relief and continued speaking at a faster speed as if his inner worries were relieved.
"I am Gehrman Sparrow. Of course, this is just a pseudonym. In addition, I have some other identities, such as Dwayne Dantès who bought the Backlund mansion, such as Detective Sherlock Moriarty who helped the landlord find a cat, and Wandering Magician Merlin.
"And your mother is Angelica Zaki."
Gehrman? And Angelica?
Although Tina had already made some guesses, she couldn't help but open her mouth when she heard the news. She secretly glanced at the "The Great Adventurer" thrown on the sofa. Mad Adventurer on the cover was holding the " Death Knell" revolver, looking at himself with a cold face. Beside him, the protagonist of "The Great Pirate" in the latest plot, Angelica, wearing a three-cornered hat and a sassy outfit, turned sideways, and his slim curves made people yearn for it.
Are those his father and mother?
No wonder Genie always hesitates to talk about the situation of his parents. No wonder so many Saint and Angel along the way today seem to know him and have given him a lot of help. No wonder each sealing location seems to be related to these two legendary figures...
Although he has just come into contact with the world of occultism, after this day's adventure, Tina has already understood the weight of "Angel". Compared with it, the mansions in the capital, the manors with breweries, and even the factories that make beverages are no longer important.
She still had a lot of questions and emotions in her heart, but in the end what came out of her mouth was just a coquettish sentence:
"Can you tell me your story?"
This is what she cares about most, above interests and strength!
"Of course," Klein adjusted his position on the sofa to sit more comfortably. He waved his hand to make the mouse "Marionette" hidden in the dark turn into a human form and continue cooking dinner instead of Angel who sat on the single sofa. "Then let's start from when... the newbie 'Blackthorn Security Company' met his colleagues on the road on his first day at work."
At some point, Tina, who had worked hard all day, fell into a deep sleep. Angel held her in his arms, made a gesture to Klein, and walked towards the stairs leading to the second floor.
Dorothy was also drowsy, but she kept insisting on listening to the adventure stories of her father and mother. She noticed that most of the content was similar to the stories of "The Great Pirate" and "The Great Adventurer". Obviously, the plots of these two best-selling novels were reworked and reinterpreted their experiences.
Could it be that Ms. Fors Wall is their friend?
While thinking, Dorothy's eyes followed the figure of Angel holding Tina. She had long noticed that her sister was more inclined to her mother than her own "balanced" love for her parents.
Although it was more terrifying for her mother to get angry and lock Tina in the basement as punishment, Dorothy still remembers that when Tina woke up from a nightmare as a child, she could only fall asleep again in her mother's arms.
The difference was obvious... She withdrew her gaze and looked at Klein, who had stopped talking about her early experiences. She hesitated for a moment, then lowered her voice and asked:
"Dad, you...
"Actually, it's not just Angel, right?"
