"You, or we, were once 'Apocalypse' Demoness?"
Angel's questioning made her Mirror Person fall into silence for a while, as if she didn't know how to answer this question.
There was a rare daze in her purple eyes, and the moment Angel captured this emotion, it was covered up by a calm, gem-like color.
"Yes, we did go through Sequence 1's 'Apocalypse' period. Specifically, it was the thirty minutes before you became Angel Granger and I disappeared into the mirror and became your Mirror Person. After that, that power completely disappeared, and I became an 'assassin' just like you."
Mirror Person replied thoughtfully, his eyes flickering.
"Another question, how do I know this knowledge... I don't know that," she continued, making Angel's face full of astonishment. "The extra memory I have is only thirty minutes more than yours. This includes information about 'Outer Deity' and 'Apocalypse' information, as well as the meaning of Sefirah and Above the Sequence, but does not include how we left 'City of Calamity', appeared in Tingen City, and appeared next to Cole Granger who just died."
"But I can be sure that all this has something to do with Adam and Amanises, because what I remember about Oldest One is that they stood in front of me and introduced themselves in an obviously perfunctory manner."
This... is similar to the memory fragment I saw when I was promoted, except that I was lying on the ground, Adam and Goddess were standing next to me... Angel was stunned, she thought she was getting promoted with difficulty After arriving at "Catastrophe" Demoness, he was able to retrieve all the memories sealed by Adam from his own Mirror Person. Unexpectedly, he only faced another victim in a similar situation.
"What else did they say during that half hour?"
Angel, whose inner doubts not only remained unanswered but became more numerous, asked.
"Some obscure words, such as the taboo knowledge in my mind will lead to Outer Deity's snooping, causing you and me to be contaminated together, so I can only hide in 'City of Calamity' and wait for you to be promoted to Angel, with the ability to resist and cut off this connection... Also, for example, don't use the power of Sefirah to interfere with you too much, so as not to cause the deviation of the 'plan'."
Her Mirror Person murmured, obviously having many questions about this broken memory.
Plan... Angel was startled and remembered the conversation between Adam and Goddess that he saw when he was promoted to Demoness of Unaging. The "beginning of the story" mentioned by the former was perhaps the "plan" they made?
What is this "Angel of Imagination" planning? Every move he makes seems inconsequential, but is actually carefully considered, such as tricking 0-08 into appearing and then picking it up after it has exhausted its power. Another example is cooperating with George III to set off World War, giving himself the opportunity to complete the ritual and be promoted to True God. It also promoted the emergence of "Great Old One" among the three Pathway "Evernight", "Death" and "Warrior" in the collision and competition, which increased the possibility of the Earth side defeating Outer Deity...
So, why did He hide part of my memory and that of Mirror Person? Are we forced to participate, or do we actively cooperate with Him? Before that, had I been lying in "City of Calamity" as my long-term memory revealed, or had I had other encounters and become "Apocalypse" Demoness?
Questions burst out of Angel's mind one after another, making her almost breathless.
But in this, she captured a key issue:
"Primordial Demoness has become the real God in Fourth Epoch, so he should have all three of the 'Apocalypse' characteristics, as well as Uniqueness of Demoness Pathway... Then how can we become Archangel of Sequence 1?"
"This is what I am most confused about. The only possibility I can think of is the 'mirror' ability of 'City of Calamity', but this has a premise. The 'mirror' must have the ontology as a template, which means that if we want to obtain a copy of the 'Apocalypse' characteristic, we must originally have one..." Mirror Person frowned slightly and answered.
"And those three characteristics are all in the hands of 'Primordial Demoness'..."
Angel said the second half of the sentence for her.
The two of you looked at me and I looked at you, both seeing helplessness in each other's eyes.
To completely clarify this matter, it is undoubtedly necessary to "confront" Adam face to face. This has become possible after Angel was promoted to Sequence 2. At least "Mirror Person" can appear in Physical World and can face this "King of Angel".
However, the other party's good and evil are unclear and his attitude is uncertain. He not only used Angel and Klein to obtain "0-08", but also helped George III complete the key construction of the mausoleum. It seems that he is unscrupulous in order to achieve his goal. He was a thug who used various methods, but when he cooperated with Amon to arrest Klein, he obviously did not try his best and even left early, giving Angel a chance to rescue Klein.
He also appeared next to me from time to time, as if "maintaining" the smooth progress of his own plan. He was simply a King of Angel that was more terrifying than Amon... Angel mumbled, instinctively feeling a little more afraid of Adam, but he couldn't tell whether it was based on reason or if he had been planted by the other party before. He suddenly felt his head hurt.
Seeing that Angel's expression was almost wrinkled, "Mirror Person" smiled and comforted her:
"It doesn't matter, at least we have now been promoted to 'Catastrophe' Demoness, and 'City of Calamity' can give Sequence 3 the 'War Bishop' gift. They should not attack us easily.
"And, no matter what happens, I'll be with you."
With that said, Mirror Person opened his arms and hugged Angel.
I always feel that she is a bit clingy, but if it were me, I would do the same thing... Is this the tacit understanding between the main body and "Mirror Person"... Angel quickly calmed down in the warm embrace, temporarily shelved this issue that was impossible to figure out on her own, and changed to a more concerning topic:
"Now that Apocalypse has been confirmed to appear, what should we do?"
She originally hoped that after George III's death, the war between Loen and Feysac would end in a dignified manner, but when she learned from Klein that Adam didn't care whether "Black Emperor" succeeded or not, and had already made double plans, this thought became a luxury.
But now that she knows the truth about "Outer Deity" and "Apocalypse" and the irreconcilable conflict between God of Combat and Evernight Goddess, she feels a sense of powerlessness in her heart.
God war, even in Fourth Epoch, where the gods walk the world, is a word that represents tragic war and death. The most famous one is "Four Emperors War", which reshuffles the North Continent forces.
Now, how many God will be involved in this Apocalypse before World War?
Contrary to the worried Angel, the tone of "Mirror Person" is as stable as ever:
"Of course you must try your best to improve your own strength. First, you must digest the 'disaster' potion as much as possible. The answer can be obtained from the name and image of the potion. Creating disasters and controlling disasters should be ways to get feedback... This war will probably continue to expand due to the death of George III. Although Adam has contributed to it, you also played a key role in it. This will continue to provide corresponding feedback in the future, giving you the opportunity to digest most of the potion before the end of the war."
"But I am not the main subject of the war, so can I still get feedback?"
Angel asked in confusion.
"The people don't know, but the gods see it. 'Black Emperor''s Promotion Ritual probably got the attention of all God, even 'Primordial Demoness'... They think you are a key role, so you can get enough feedback.
"And this also leads to another problem... In the previous promotions, Goddess's Holy Emblem should have shielded you from the gaze of Sequence's top, but the promotion of 'Catastrophe' can no longer be relied on. His power covers... I'm afraid 'Primordial Demoness' already knows your existence. Next, Demoness Sect and Angel will definitely take certain actions, but this is also your chance to shake his anchor."
To shake the anchor of a God, what is this going to do...Angel was startled, and immediately thought of the key:
"Because... we have the favor of 'City of Calamity'?"
Mirror Person nodded seriously and replied:
"Yes, when Apocalypse is approaching, those who have the opportunity to become God will do their best, and those who have become gods will also set their sights on Above the Sequence, preparing to become 'Great Old One'...'Primordial Demoness ' The purpose of letting his sect help George III is naturally the 'Conqueror' characteristic. Then, all he needs is the Uniqueness of Hunter Pathway, and the key Sefirah, 'City of Calamity'.
"This means that we and Him will be in a fight to the death... After you choose Pathway, the corresponding allies and enemies have been determined."
But I had no choice at all. When I woke up from this era, I had the misfortune to possess the dead Cole and became an "assassin"... Angel muttered, his expression suddenly froze, and a lightning flashed through his mind:
Can this really be explained by "bad luck"?
Cole Granger failed to be promoted to "Witch". He clearly expelled the contaminated characteristics of Sequence 7. Why is he still an "assassin" after his resurrection?
Unless, before that, a certain existence separated out a pure "assassin" characteristic, allowing her to absorb and accommodate it before she woke up.
There are many examples of people being promoted through direct contact with Beyonder Characteristic. Although most of the results are crazy and out of control, with a little luck and means, a complete Sequence 9 Beyonder can be created.
And God and King of Angel, who were at the scene at that time, did not lack the corresponding means!
Not noticing the thoughts that kept flashing through Angel's mind, Mirror Person continued:
"In addition, you should pay attention to the key information about 'Outer Deity' and 'Great Old One' in your mind. They are no longer harmful to you as Angel, but they are fatal poison to any Beyonder below Sequence 2."
This warning brought Angel back from her memories. She nodded subconsciously and asked immediately:
"Do other Angel know this information? As far as I know, Arianna gave a warning about the information related to the 'Starry Sky', but other Angel never mentioned it."
"Because not mentioning it is the best protection for you. Once you consciously explore this information, it often means that it also attracts the attention of 'Outer Deity', which means pollution or death."
Mirror Person answered like a teacher teaching his students earnestly, then changed the subject and continued with some sadness:
"Actually, in addition to the information of 'Outer Deity', 'Sefirah' also has similar characteristics. The more you know about them, the easier it is to establish a occult connection and be invisiblely contaminated. Of course, most of the original information of Sefirah is now The body is not in the world you are familiar with, but is sealed in 'Western Continent', so the impact it can have is very limited, except for the two copies of Sefirah... They are 'Sefirah Castle' and 'Chaos Sea'.
"The former is located at Spirit World. Only divination and prophecy about it will lead to unpredictable things happening and will have almost no impact on reality; the latter has a certain connection with reality and seems to be buried deep underground. Once it gets close, The higher the Sequence, the greater the impact. In ancient times, when the will of Original Creator was still strong, it led to the pollution of countless Angel and even ancient gods, and even indirectly caused the fall of some God."
This is the source of underground pollution that Arrodes said... causing the ancient gods to be polluted. The higher the Sequence, the greater the impact... Angel combined these keywords in his mind, and suddenly thought of a specific direction:
Deep inside the collective Sea of Collective Subconscious in "The Travels of Grosell", "Miracle City" Liveseyd was created by "Imagination Dragon" Ankewelt!
Behind its palace, in the sealed door, there was a mysterious force that made the team exploring Hall of Truth almost lose control. After discussion at that time, several people believed that this was a subconscious reflection of some kind of pollution buried deep in Ankewelt's heart. The pollution from the ground made him fearful in his heart, and he created a miraculous floating city to live in the sky for a long time.
Now Angel can confirm that the pollution that the ancient god avoided came from "Chaos Sea", one of Sefirah.
"So, even True God cannot resist the power of 'Sefirah', and Sefirah can only deal with Sefirah?"
she asked thoughtfully.
Mirror Person nodded:
"Yes, of course, 'Great Old One' can also deal with Sefirah's power. After all, they either have some kind of Sefirah, or they once had it, and they still have the corresponding status. Otherwise, even True God will not be able to avoid Sefirah."
There is "Chaos Sea" under the ground, and "Great Old One" is hidden in the starry sky above our heads. The earth is really in trouble... In addition, "Sefirah Castle" is the only Sefirah that has not been sealed. According to my previous speculation, it should be the kingdom of God of Mr. "Fool". That is the piece of Grey Fog Space, but it is very safe and has not caused harm to the members of Tarot Club. On the contrary, it often eliminates hidden dangers in our bodies, especially the pollution from "Mother Tree of Desire" and the pollution from "Chaos Sea" after the last exploration of "Hall of Truth"...
Does this mean that Mr. "Fool" has actually mastered the power of Sefirah, and his rank is even above True God, almost reaching the level of "Great Old One"?
No wonder Goddess and Adam have expressed a certain degree of goodwill towards Him. This being may be the only force on earth that can resist Outer Deity when Apocalypse comes...
Angel thought a little sadly, regretting that he couldn't tell Klein all this.
She could only help him be promoted to Sequence 2 as soon as possible... She murmured in her heart, and discussed some issues about follow-up actions with her Mirror Person. She was about to leave "City of Calamity" with a head full of knowledge that she could only own, and return to the normal "Mirror World" when she suddenly asked:
"By the way, after being promoted, I noticed one thing... Every time I used 'Mirror Substitution' before this, were you bearing the corresponding damage?"
This should have been a problem that she was aware of when she was promoted to "Unaging", but if it were not for the help of Mirror Person, her promotion would have almost gone out of control, so that when she subsequently summarized the knowledge carried by Potion, she omitted it and forgot this important information.
And "Mirror Person" should have told her this in person!
Today when Sequence 2 was promoted, Angel once again noticed that the essence of "Mirror Substitution" was to sacrifice Mirror Person and split the new Mirror Person again The cycle of created a deep sense of guilt for Mirror Person, who had self-awareness and had reconciled with himself, so much so that he did not dare to use this ability in the battle with Amon.
Under her intense gaze, Mirror Person, with blond hair, purple eyes and a smile on her face, shook her head and replied:
"What are you thinking about? I am a special Mirror Person. Those injuries, and even your several deaths, were all borne by the 'temporary mirrors' that I split. Of course they will also feel Affliction, but it will be fleeting and will not leave memories."
So that's it, well, she seemed to have mentioned this last time... Angel nodded knowingly, took a long breath, floated to the sky with peace of mind, and left "City of Calamity" along Mirror Tunnel.
Watching the figure shrink and disappear, the smile on "Mirror Person"'s face slowly receded. She looked at the mirror beside her that blocked out light and sound, and waved it away, revealing the evil spirit Sauron with her arms folded behind her, leaning against a ruined wall.
The latter sneered and said sarcastically:
"I thought you were going to fight and decide the winner first. Isn't this what Mirror Person should do?"
"You do know a lot of things."
Angelica's Mirror Person replied coldly.
"Oh, at that time, after reading the content on Blasphemy Slate, I once thought about whether to go to 'Demoness' Pathway... Of course, after Cheek occupied the top of the Pathway, this matter was abandoned.
"At that time, I, Einhorn and Medici were guarding against him while thinking about seizing other 'Conqueror' characteristics. Unexpectedly, we were plotted by Alistar Tudor's Lunatic. He had also seen Blasphemy Slate, but he was even crazier than the evil spirit!"
Sauron said with a ferocious expression.
"I'm afraid you don't know about the crazier things He has done..." Mirror Person curled his lips and said, then showed a smile, "But now you might have a chance to fulfill your previous dream, for example, transfer to 'Demoness' Pathway?
"After all, the new 'Primordial Demoness' needs some believers to share its authority."
After leaving Mirror World, Angel went back to Iris Flower Winery in the suburbs.
Although only half the day had passed from attending George III's "condolence speech" in the morning to actually attending his "condolence meeting", she felt like a week had passed and she wished she could collapse on the single sofa and have a good rest.
However, based on my physical sense time, it has indeed been almost a week, because we have to count the repeated five days... She muttered and confirmed that the servants in this winery did not become Marionette, nor did they seem to be parasitized by Amon's Avatar. This was considered to have completely completed today's "mission".
"Now that I have truly become Angel of Sequence 2, Zarathus will probably not attack me. With His level of caution, unless a trap is set up to hopefully solve me quickly, he will only continue to lie dormant...
"And according to the 'Archon' clone, Amon's body should still be in Forsaken Land of the Gods. This and the capture of Klein's clone must be taken to the same place for mutual verification. As long as it is a clone, I don't have to worry too much..."
Angel was half leaning on the sofa, summarizing today's gains and information.
"But compared to me, Klein is much more dangerous. He currently only has Sequence 3. No matter whether it is Zarathus or Amon's Avatar, it is difficult to resist. I even There is no time to support... And Goddess is in Uniqueness that accommodates 'Death'. The situation may get worse and worse. Backlund may not be a safe place..."
With this thought in mind, Angel stood up from the sofa, his eyes flashing as he escaped into Mirror World, and instantly arrived at the gathering place agreed with Klein, another safe house of East Borough.
After being promoted to the "Disaster" Witch, she no longer needs to travel short distances through the mirror passage in and around a big city. Instead, she can use the combination of "projecting mirror avatar" and "exchanging avatar and body" to travel to any mirror-reflected location within the range of perception at an almost instantaneous speed.
When she first stepped into the simple bedroom of the safe house, the originally extinguished gas lamp on the wall burst into flames, and a figure walked out of the fire. It was Klein who had changed his appearance using the "Faceless" ability.
When he saw Angel, his unforgettable face instantly changed back to his own.
"Back from 'Mirror World'?"
"Have you prayed to Goddess?"
The two spoke together, then looked at each other and smiled.
This is the temporary joy and relaxation after solving George III and bringing the Great Smog incident to an end.
In the small room, Angel, who had just been promoted to Angel, leaned on the sofa without any image, and told Klein the information obtained from "Mirror Person" that did not involve Outer Deity and Great Old One.
"Sefirah involves the power that makes True God go further, the pollution in the underground and the terrifying thing sealed by Floating City 'Liveseyd' is 'Chaos Sea', only Only Sefirah can fight against Sefirah. The conflict between God of Combat and Goddess does stem from the ownership of 'Uniqueness', and the same group of Adjacent Pathways can only decide one winner..."
Reciting these fragmented information, Klein felt that some of the doubts that had been shrouded in fog had been partially answered.
The reason why it is said to be "partial" is naturally that the "isolation" of those contents that Angel cannot mention makes this information incomplete at all, which makes him more and more anxious about being promoted to Sequence 2.
After all, what others have is not as good as what he has. Even if Angel will protect him at all costs, the two heavy stones of Amon and Zarathus still weigh on his heart, making him feel full of crisis.
"Without further ado, let's ask the magical Arrodes... to see where my path to promotion is..."
He rubbed his hands and said expectantly.
But before the two of them could take the next step, a newsboy shouted loudly outside the window:
"Extra number, extra number! Intis A large number of troops are gathering at the border!"
"Extra number, extra number! Prince Edessak appears again after recovering from a serious illness!"
The two looked at each other, and the excitement that prevented George III Apotheosis Ritual disappeared without a trace.
PS: It's not easy to split it up, so it's two chapters in one. It's not available tonight.
