"Red Light" Aiur Moria

Since absorbing the Beyonder Characteristic and becoming Secrets Suppliant, Luther's prayer objects have mostly been dangerous beings.

Leaving aside the True Creator, the Hidden Sage, the Primordial Demoness, and other evil gods, even his former nominal superior, the Evernight Goddess, gave him the feeling of being a neutral observer, calculating how much investment potential he could have.

Unfortunately, the knowledge Luther gained from the Secrets Suppliant Potion was Distortion by the True Creator. It didn't include neutral or friendly mystical individuals, only the True Creator and his retinue—two extremely dangerous beings. All Ritual were basically related to Him: offering sacrifices to please Him, praying to Him for power, and so on.

Although the True Creator is dangerous, he could previously rely on the Phantom Tide to resist spiritual pollution, complete the Ritual, and achieve his goals. It's a classic case of "eat the sugar coating, throw the cannonball back."

But ever since Luther killed the offspring of the True Creator, this petty evil god has held a grudge. Not only does he not respond to Luther's prayers, but he also uses Ritual to transmit a large amount of crazy ramblings in an attempt to Destruction his spirit.

In other words, Luther is currently in an awkward situation where there's no one to pray to.

The True Creator despises and resists him, the Goddess's attitude is ambiguous, and the other evil gods are equally dangerous.

But Luther needs an object of prayer, otherwise many useful Ritual cannot be performed.

So he began to look for other objects of prayer, his first target being the mysterious [Fool]. However, he tried to pray to the [Fool] many times, but failed each time because his own Golden Finger resisted the [Fool].

He had also analyzed that perhaps he could consume a large amount of his Spirituality until the remaining Spirituality was insufficient to support the Tide. At that point, the Tide would no longer appear on its own and would not stop him. However, facing a deity who was neither good nor evil directly would be too dangerous.

Therefore, when Luther saw the Honorific Name and detailed explanations of the Seven Lights in "Spirit World Insights", he immediately became very interested in them.

I can try to establish a connection with them. It's time to get to know some friendly, mysterious beings.

With that thought in mind, he returned to his room and began preparing for the Ritual.

According to the book, there are two ways to communicate with the Seven Lights of the Spirit World. One is the "Mystical Pact Ritual," which requires the person performing the Ritual to open their heart and spirit and make deep contact with the corresponding being in order to obtain the corresponding knowledge, power, help, or Spirit Body. This method is relatively easy to achieve, but it will cause one's spirit to be completely open to the other party, and secrets that are not to be revealed may also be known to the other party.

The second method is even simpler and more direct: a "Spirit Descent Ritual," which directly invites one of the Seven Lights from the Spirit World to answer one's various questions. It doesn't involve mental contact, making it safer. The downside is that the Seven Lights of the Spirit World are of very high rank and may not necessarily respond to the prayers of someone who is only Sequence 5.

After thinking for a while, Luther decided to use the second method.

Whether he can respond or not, let's give it a try first.

With this in mind, he created Wall of Spirituality, prepared an altar, lit three candles, and dripped essential oil into the candle flames. After completing the preparations, he placed a paper figure in the center of the altar as a medium for the invocation.

He stepped back, opened his mouth, and recited a prayer in Ancient Hermes:

"I!"

I pray in my own name.

"I pray to communicate with 'the undying light of the Spirit World, the embodiment of endless knowledge, the red of authority and will.'"

He tried to control his split personality while reciting the prayer. Because of his mental confusion, it took him a while to finish reciting the prayer.

His object of prayer is one of the Seven Lights, "Red Light" El Moria. This Pure Lights, symbolizing power and will, often appears as a majestic old man holding a scepter and possesses extensive knowledge of the mystical realm.

From Luther's perspective as Secrets Suppliant, this "Red Light's" Ritual was neither evil nor insane. Although it lacked the power of God, its status was already quite high.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

As he prayed, the flames of the three candles expanded and magnified at the same moment, miraculously connecting to form an illusory portal of light. The world outside the Altar turned pitch black, and countless indifferent eyes opened. These eyes were neither evil nor benevolent; they simply existed objectively, watching him.

"Call--"

An invisible wind blew across the Altar, stirring within the Wall of Spirituality. On the Altar, the paper figure was unaffected by the wind, but instead stood up unsteadily, its surface stained with pure crimson.

Did you succeed on the first try?

Luther looked at the red color with slight surprise.

This red was different from the flesh and Flesh he was used to seeing; it wasn't so bloody, but rather rich and bright, like pure light.

"Hello."

Luther greeted the other party.

In that book, "Spirit World Insights," the author records that Seven Lights liked to teach people and preferred to be treated as Teacher rather than a superior being.

As he greeted them, he activated Phantom Tide in his mind. Although the "Red Light" seemed friendly, he remained vigilant to prevent any unexpected incidents.

"Hello."

The red paper figure replied, bowing slightly to Luther. Although its voice was very authoritative, its tone was very kind.

They were quite polite, more courteous than I expected.

Luther thought to himself.

After bowing, the paper figure possessed by "Red Light" El Moria stood quietly, seemingly waiting for Luther to speak first.

Um, what should I say?

Luther and Red Light stared at each other for a few seconds before Your Excellency spoke, "Respected Lord 'Red Light' El Moria, you do look quite red, like Curly-Haired Baboon. Ahem, sorry, please ignore what I just said."

Halfway through his sentence, his mind was suddenly influenced by the Lamb Soul of the "Pyromaniac," and he actually opened his mouth to provoke "Red Light." Fortunately, he regained control before he could finish speaking. "Actually, I have a few questions I'd like to ask you."

"Please just call me El Moria," the other person replied. "No need to apologize, I understand your predicament."

That's too polite.

Luther thought to himself, but said aloud, "As you can see, my mental state is quite unstable right now. Are there any ways to resolve my mental problems?"

After he asked the question, he sensed that Red Light was silent for a moment. He seemed to have pondered it before slowly replying, "I'm sorry, your question is Root-Level, and with my limited knowledge, I cannot offer any constructive advice."

The Seven Lights of the Spirit World, symbolizing the very existence of knowledge, actually claim their own knowledge is shallow?

Luther was incredulous. He sensed something suspicious about the other person's silence, as if they knew something but were unwilling to answer. What puzzled him even more was that the other person claimed his madness was Root-Level —was he implying there were deeper reasons behind it?

"Never mind."

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to answer his questions, he simply gave up for the time being. Then, as if remembering something, he took out the white rib and asked, "Excuse me, do you know how to use this Beyonder Item?"
