Trissy? I thought she went to secretly meet the returning Edessak. Why did she come back to me again?
Angel was a little curious, but still responded proactively and agreed to meet at her residence later.
Surprisingly, this time Trissy did not choose the poorest and most chaotic East Borough as a place to stay, but stayed in a hotel in North Borough, which was even only one street away from Backlund's largest Saint Samuel Cathedral, which made Angel a little worried about her mental state.
Could it be that he has settled his last worries and is ready to surrender?
Smiling secretly, Angel did a divination as usual to confirm that it was safe, then connected to Mirror World, followed Mirror Tunnel and looked towards Backlund urban area, at North Borough 0 Find Trissy's room in a hotel at Arka Street, activate the largest dressing mirror, and let your Mirror Substitution appear directly on the single sofa in the room.
With this distance, she didn't even have to go there herself, she could just let the substitute do it for her.
This randomly fabricated stand-in can convey the power of Sequence 4, and can be replaced with the original body at any time, making it difficult to distinguish the true from the false.
At least Trissy didn't notice it. She just glanced at the activated mirror and subconsciously thought it was Angel hiding behind the mirror and projecting the avatar into reality.
"I thought you were with your Highness Prince. How come you live near North Borough and Church of Night?"
After Trissy sat opposite "himself", Angel was the first to ask.
"If I didn't get your reply, I originally planned to enter the church directly to seek protection. Even if I was locked in a dungeon, it would be safer than the current situation."
Trissy replied, her face turned a little pale, she picked up the tea cup and took a sip, using the heat to make her lips slightly rosier before continuing:
"After receiving the gift of 'Primordial Demoness', I have established an unbreakable connection with Him, and various abnormalities in my body are becoming more and more frequent. I am worried that one day after falling asleep, I may not be able to wake up at all, and this body has become His container."
It turned out that she was worried about this problem. It seems that after Edessak was "resurrected", her self-destructive tendency was not so strong, just like Anne who learned that Bernadette was still alive... Angel smiled secretly and said in a relaxed tone:
"Actually, you don't have to worry about this problem. As Saint, you will not be able to withstand God's divine descent for more than thirty seconds, and then your body and soul will collapse and die completely. This is what you said yourself... and the divine descent is not that simple, or it is complicated. ritual, or there is a specific Sealed Artifact to strengthen the connection. You have already used 'Yesterday Once More', which wasted the opportunity to wear the ring. 'Primordial Demoness' should not be able to completely erode and occupy your body, and at most it will cause some damage."
Hearing "wreak havoc", Trissy's beautiful face showed a look of fear and murmured:
"That's why I'd rather be locked up in the dungeon of Samuel's Church."
"There is no dungeon there, only 'Chanis Gate'. You might even meet a imprisoned Vampire in there. No, you should call him Sanguine," Angel joked, seemingly not caring about Trissy's fear at all, "First tell me how you are connected with 'Primordial Demoness', and then I'll see if I can save your life."
After receiving her words, which were not a promise at all, Trissy's expression became calm. She breathed a long sigh of relief, put down the teacup, and said slowly in a gentle tone:
"From Tingen to Backlund, and finally being arranged to become the mistress of Edessak, you should all know. I will start from Great Smog... After being let go, I originally tried to leave Backlund, before detouring I went to Pritz Harbor to go out to sea to avoid the limelight, but not long after I left Red Rose Manor, I met a black-haired lady with a strange behavior and an indifferent expression. She easily took away my Sapphire Ring, and then disappeared directly. It was probably a Angel..."
That should be the "Mother of the Sky" when Goddess God descended, and then He handed the ring to me... Angel compared it with the events in his memory, and nodded to indicate to the other party to continue.
"... After that, I thought it was unsafe to continue going to Pritz Harbor, so I created some false clues and returned to the city, staying in the chaotic East Borough. On the one hand, this could mislead the officials who were chasing me. On the other hand, after Great Smog, Backlund would definitely attack the cult organization. By staying here, I could avoid Demoness Sect.
"After seeing my wanted order and Edessak's 'suicide' in the newspaper, I wanted to light a fire angrily and create chaos in East Borough to tell others that these were all fake... But my only remaining reason stopped me, because those people hidden behind the scenes didn't even care about the lives of more than 100,000 people, so how could they be bothered by my little trouble?
"So, I took the initiative to contact 'Primordial Demoness' for the first time... Maybe it was because of the contact with Sapphire Ring, or maybe it was because I had been marked by this God. As soon as I finished reciting Honorific Name, I heard his words and received his 'gift' '...Potion's information, occult knowledge, and principles of various rituals were instilled into my mind, followed by more and more frequent physical changes... As Sequence improves and the 'gifts' increase, I am gradually moving closer to 'Primordial'..."
Having said this, Trissy raised her head, letting Angel see her twitching and ferocious expression.
"Did you know? When I was promoted to 'Affliction' Demoness, I only collected the main materials. I didn't prepare Auxiliary Materials, and I didn't perform any rituals. I took the incompletely configured Potion as if I swallowed the materials raw, and I was promoted without any obstacles... And in In the next stage, I had no ability to complete the ritual that required a plague that affected 30,000 people, but Potion dissolved in my mouth, and I gained divinity so easily and became Demigod... Even when I drank 'Instigator' Potion, it didn't go so smoothly!
"Is He cultivating favored ones? Just making new containers! My body and the Potion in my body are all needed, but my thoughts and Spirit Body are useless...
"Last night, I dreamed about that extremely dark city without any light. I dreamed about the me in the past. He roared at me, but I couldn't hear anything clearly... When I woke up, the furniture around me was destroyed again, and I was lying in a cocoon made of long hair..."
Her voice gradually deepened.
Didn't Promotion Ritual of "Despair" Demoness make a Demigod die in despair? Why did "Primordial Demoness" teach Trissy the ritual of Error... Her dream sounded like Deep inside Mirror World and "Mirror Person", if I had not returned to the Assassin from Witch and then been promoted again, my "Mirror Person" should also be a male... Angel thought about it and asked after a moment:
"Since you were willing to dedicate yourself to the evil god for Edessak and sacrifice yourself to take revenge on George III, why are you afraid of this change now?"
"Can that be the same?" Trissy sneered and replied, "Now that Edessak is not dead, and I died easily, wouldn't it be... that my work was in vain? Of course, Church of Evernight If I catch or Church of Storms, the end will probably not be good, but there is always a glimmer of hope. If I become the container of 'Primordial Demoness', the only thing waiting for me is death."
It seems that she has changed her mentality due to the resurrection of Prince, but...
"The Mandated Punisherss of Church of Storms are likely to Judgment when they catch Demoness. Church of Evernight is better, but many Sealed Artifacts with no clear negative effects are waiting for you. The 'guinea pig' goes to verify one by one, the probability of survival is not too high... Don't forget that you are still carrying so many lives. Even if the tragedy on Alfalfa was caused by you indirectly Instigation and you did not take any action, the ritual held to kill the survivors afterwards killed many people!"
Angel said with a serious expression and a sneer, but felt troubled in his heart.
In the process of preventing the George III ceremony, Trissy did help a lot. She had a way to contact Mr. "Door", obtain the means to open the tomb, attract attention in "Ruins No.1", and drop the key "betrayal" Charm. She all contributed.
But on the other hand, when she was still Instigator and Witch, she directly or indirectly caused the death of many innocent people. Whether according to the laws of Loen or the practice of the church, she must at least be imprisoned or perform meritorious service until her sins are paid off...
Thinking of this, Angel's eyes lit up, but his expression became more grim:
"In short, you can either choose to be imprisoned in Chanis Gate and face a dark future, or be arrested by the military, Sentenced to Death... But I have a place where you can't escape, can't do any bad things again, and can make contributions within your ability, until you completely repent and express your guilt for what you have done in the past..."
In "Instigation" where she reached the Angel level, Trissy chose the latter option without hesitation, but with a heavy doubt on her face, not knowing where she was going.
Passing through "Mirror World", across the raging Storm and the endless ocean, Angel and Trissy appeared on an isolated island.
Looking at Floating Island floating above the island, shaped like an inverted cone, with an entire city above it, the latter's expression became more and more doubtful.
"A city floating in the sky? Isn't this a God creation that only exists in mythology? Do you mean to lock me here?"
She murmured, almost forgetting the honorific title Angel.
"Yes, this city is called 'Dream City', and it is also the true identity of the secret sea treasure 'Ghost Empire'... Your mission here is to abide by the law and not violate any laws. In addition, you must spread my beliefs."
With his back to Floating Island, Angel opened his arms and said as if making an introduction.
