He traveled from the "Earth" to the current world. For some reason, he was resurrected in the body of Cole Granger, and became a woman by accident. This was a fact that Angel confirmed on the first day he woke up in his current body.
The important evidence is nothing more than two:
First, this world has a completely different geography, culture and ecology from the earth. Giants, dragons, elves, Siren, even in those years when evil spirits were rampant on the earth, there were no groups of alien creatures, let alone the establishment of corresponding civilizations.
Second, Roselle Gustav, a time traveler two hundred years ago, brought the science, technology and cultural treasures of "Earth" to the world. Various works he borrowed and imitated are still circulating in the world. Today's scientific community has concluded that without his emergence, the technological level of the entire world may still have remained at the same level two hundred years ago.
Both front and side evidence confirm that "Earth" and this planet are two different worlds, and that "travel" exists.
This view of Angel was somewhat shaken after talking to "Angel of Imagination" Adam, but after being forcefully comforted by Klein, she temporarily shelved the controversy for various reasons, and Persuasion herself with the appropriate reason: Maybe, Adam is lying to me?
But all this changed after Angel saw the body of Angel Gray in that city.
The good news is that Angel Gray does exist, and died in Flame Spear that passed through his heart. All of this is consistent with his memory, and Adam did not modify these contents.
The bad news is that the body appears in "City of Calamity", which is closely connected to this world.
On the one hand, this freed her from worrying that she was the Cole Granger whose memory had been stolen by Tampering and was full of evil. On the other hand, it also caused new questions:
Did he really travel from "Earth"?
Of course, Angel has no experience in time travel. Perhaps, after she died in her previous life, some kind of force sent Angel Gray's body to this world together with her soul. The body was thrown into the city that can show various cultures and eras, and the soul was attached to another corpse that had just died and was resurrected into her current self.
But another guess is more likely to be closer to the truth:
Perhaps, she never left "Earth".
Perhaps, this world is "Earth".
As soon as this idea emerged, it aggressively occupied Angel's entire mind, allowing her to find one piece of evidence after another in an instant.
This world also has twelve months and three hundred and sixty-five days in a year, and even the length of each day is consistent with the length in her memory;
There is only one Sun and one Moon;
Gravity, seasons, and the direct angle of Sun are exactly the same...
"No, these are all possible coincidences. After all, only similar environments can give birth to life and true civilization!"
Another voice retorted in his head.
But more details emerged from the bottom of Angel's heart, drowning that little resistance:
The structures of the Southern Continent and North Continent are similar to North and South America, except that Central America was erased by the fall of Death and became Berserk Sea, which is difficult to pass. Sonia Island seems to have been formed after the offset of Greenland. Intervening Sea is undoubtedly the product of the combination of the Great Lakes of North America and the Hudson Bay...
North Continent's Central Plateau, Hornacis Mountain Range, Ammantha Mountain Range and other terrains can also correspond one-to-one with the plateaus and mountains of North America...
Sonia Sea and Fog Sea surround North Continent in the east and west respectively, which matches the position of the two oceans...
To the east of the legendary Western Continent and God War Ruins, doesn't the "Forsaken Land of the Gods" that has been verified by Mr. "Sun" correspond to the largest land plate on the earth...
On "Future", on the edge of the Sonia Sea, Angel had explored "Deep Cave" on the seabed with Nina, and found corroded metal and circular deep wells nearby...
Once she had a direction for her thinking and a solid foundation, these pieces of evidence that she usually didn't care about or thought were coincidences quickly became a skeleton, building up a giant hammer that could shake Angel's worldview.
What if this is the earth, what if the existing human civilization is a brand new world rebuilt on the ruins after evil spirits were rampant, the world was destroyed, and even the terrain was changed?
If after his death, his body, the street, and even the city were "preserved" by some power, spanning countless years, until this era, until one year ago, and was activated due to some circumstances, allowing his soul to leave there and possess the dead Cole Granger...
And at that time, did I understand that situation as time travel?
So, Roselle Gustav should be in the same situation? Is there a place for his body in that "City of Calamity"?
Angel thought of another time traveler and his regret that he never returned to "Earth".
If this is really "Earth", then he doesn't need to go back at all, and he can't go back... because time can't flow backwards, and what's gone will never come back!
After understanding this, from the time Angel heard Ince Zangwill say the name "Cole Granger" until he saw his own body and finally discovered the secret of "travel", the Spirituality that was constantly surging in his body and the coldness that repeatedly spread throughout his body finally calmed down.
In the biting coldness, she completely digested "Despair" Potion.
"No, this is just my guess, not necessarily the truth... There are still many unanswered questions, such as the red Moon, such as the position of the stars... There are also too many secrets in the city in Apocalypse that have not yet been explored..."
Muttering to himself, Angel's heart that had sunk to the bottom gradually rose again.
After solving the problem of Ince Zangwill and "0-08", she was able to relax temporarily and devote some of her energy to exploring and thinking about these issues and answering all the doubts in her heart.
Of course, the secret behind Great Smog and his path to promotion will also take up some time.
Thinking of promotion, Angel couldn't help laughing.
If this is really the earth, and I really have spent a long time after death, the "Unaging" ritual will become a complete joke.
Even according to the existing historical records, fourth, the time of Fifth Epoch exceeds two thousand years, not to mention the first three eras hidden in the fog of history, and the time between two or even more civilizations.
With this understanding, whether Angel wants it or not, she has passively "experienced a long time" and acquired a mentality that is different from her physical age.
Is this a blessing in disguise, or is it the result of some kind of "arrangement"? From my incomplete memory, the figure of Adam and a certain woman seems to be more likely to be the latter... The unreasonable fear of "Angel of Imagination" made Angel straighten up and quickly turn his head to look around, for fear that a Priest wearing a white robe, blond hair and a golden beard would emerge from a corner, even though he had appeared at the scene where he was proposed last night!
Huh...
After discovering that she was alone in the bedroom in the early morning, she breathed a sigh of relief. Her eyes paused on the dressing mirror for a moment, and suddenly her eyes lit up.
She had been analyzing and doubting herself for a long time. Why not ask someone who was more likely to know the answer?
Jumping up from the sofa, Angel came to the dressing mirror and used makeup charcoal to draw symbols representing secrecy and voyeurism directly on the mirror.
Not long after waiting, the morning light outside the window dimmed. The mirror first turned black, with watery ripples, and then rows of floral Loenese appeared:
"Beautiful, powerful and wise Mistress, your ever loyal servant Arrodes has been summoned!
"I saw the brand new ring on your finger. Which great being does it come from?"
A great existence...Arrodes has always called Klein like this. It obviously knows who gave the ring...Angel laughed dumbly, nodded and replied:
"It's your master."
"Sure enough! "The mirror flashed in front of Angel, with abstract fireworks popping out, "When the master called me yesterday, I reminded him of the date of your birthday... Of course, he must remember this day, but have I made any insignificant contribution to the relationship between you and him?"
Looking at Arrodes who was eager to take credit and whose fonts had become larger and thicker, Angel felt that the dejection and frustration she had previously felt when thinking about "life" were slightly diluted by the inner banter. This made her tense face and body relax a little, and she answered with a chuckle:
"So be it."
"Absolutely correct answer! You can ask questions!"
Arrodes looked very happy, even the silver-white text had a hint of gold, like gold coins.
Seeing this, Angel waited in silence for a moment, allowing himself to calm down and prepare himself for any accidents, and then slowly asked:
"Arrodes, what I want to ask is," she solemnly asked the "humble servant" for the first time, "what do you know about 'City of Calamity'?"
She still remembered that Arrodes had recognized the "authority" represented by the special power in her body, which was the volcano, lava and flood in Apocalypse, and this was obviously inseparable from "Calamity".
The black mirror remained silent for a few seconds before the golden lines formed the corresponding words again:
"I have only heard of this name in rumors. In the dark Second Epoch, the ancient gods believed that Original Creator left behind some things made by him or directly transformed from his body, which represent part of his power. 'City of Calamity' is one of them.
"You once asked me about the source of your 'specialness'. At that time, I answered with the authority of Apocalypse. Now it seems that maybe your relationship with 'City of Calamity' is the source of that power."
It's a bit unclear. It seems that Arrodes's knowledge is limited... Angel muttered and continued to ask:
"One of these? Are there many of these 'things'?"
"Yes, they are called 'Sefirah'. There are nine in total. It is said that there is a specific record on the second piece 'Blasphemy Slate'." The golden text kept disappearing and reappearing, dazzling Angel's eyes. "I only understand part of them: it is said that the 'Sefirah Castle' is hidden in Spirit World. Ancient Gods 'Chaos Sea' is believed to be the source of underground pollution, 'City of the Dead' is 'River of Eternal Darkness' deep in Calderon, 'Brood Hive' is related to Moon, and 'Knowledge Moor' and 'Tenebrous World' are believed to be the source of underground pollution."
Adding "City of Calamity", there are seven out of nine "Sefirah". What will the names of the other two be called? Judging from the names of these Sefirah and the correspondence between "City of Calamity" and the city in Apocalypse, are they really rivers, castles, seas, or even a whole world?
With no clue, Angel had to write down these terms first. After all, this was mystical knowledge that she had never seen or heard before.
Then, she continued to ask:
"Can you use divination, Spirit Channeling or any similar method to spy on First Epoch, or even things earlier?"
