Supreme Yin Power / Creation
Seeing him awake, Artemis said softly, "Good morning."
With a gentle good morning kiss, Mephistopheles got out of bed. After a night of debauchery, the bed needed a thorough cleaning.
"Let me see. Let's go eat first, and after that you should be planning to summon the Primordial Shakti, right?" Artemis asked.
Mephistopheles nodded slightly. "Yes, this matter cannot be delayed; the sooner the better."
He glanced again at her alluring figure, which was now fully exposed, and laughed, "But before that, we can take a shower first, what do you think?"
Chapter 219 The Supreme Power of Yin
Mephistopheles is preparing for a summoning, a preparation that appears bizarre and bloody to outsiders.
Mephistopheles opened his chest cavity, but with the help of magic, his blood did not flow out. Instead, it was as if invisible tubes replaced blood vessels, allowing the blood to flow on its own.
Seeing this, Ritsuka Fujimaru dropped open. Her wide eyes revealed the shock she felt. She had never seen anyone self-harm so severely before. Even the likes of the landmine girl were nothing compared to Mephistopheles.
Look at the intensity of Mephistopheles's self-harm; you can even see his beating heart!
Blood flowed from the transparent tubes and covered Mephistopheles's beating heart.
The blood wasn't much, but it was enough for Mephistopheles to draw what he wanted. Enduring the excruciating pain of his flesh being torn apart, he controlled the blood, slowly extending it over his heart, eventually transforming it into a special rune.
That's Solomon Pentagram.
His current strength is great enough that when he summons, he will surely be able to summon an even more powerful goddess, even more powerful than Shiva he summoned last time, Shakti. This power represents the supreme feminine, maternal power, which has a strong assimilative effect and may backfire on him.
Therefore, he needed to take precautions in advance, such as placing the Solomon Pentagram on his heart as a protective measure.
After finishing the inscription, Mephistopheles took a deep breath and began to heal his injuries. Once fully recovered, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. His body was covered in sweat, all from the pain he had been in.
After securing this protection, Mephistopheles inspected and reinforced Temple, confirming that it could indeed withstand attacks of a cosmic scale before beginning further preparations.
The first step is to confirm the time.
"It's Saturn time now, but the changes in the moon's phases are up to you, Artemis!" Mephistopheles said.
Artemis displayed her divine power, and the power of the moon goddess manifested at this moment. What should have been a normal moonlit night had now turned into a black moon phase.
The inverted tetrahedral altar, with its apex pointing towards the center of the earth, is completely different from ordinary altar arrangements.
Mercury was used to form a Tree of Life diagram on the ground, with a black diamond embedded in the Binah node (8=3).
In the central area of the altar, a strange geometric shape carved from Ruby, named Sri Yantra, is composed of nine overlapping triangles: five pointing downwards and four pointing upwards. It is surrounded by ornaments of lotus petals, squares, and multiple concentric circles, all soaked in the blood of the moon goddess.
This Sri Yantra represents the feminine womb of the universe and the dynamic balance of creation. The overlapping triangles form 43 smaller triangles, corresponding to the 43 fundamental laws of the universe. The lotus petals symbolize purity, and the square represents the stability of the material world. It is a core symbol of Tantra in Hinduism and a sacred geometric figure representing the feminine origin of the universe (Adi Shakti) in Shakti Cult.
As for the blood of the moon goddess, it was a feminine medium provided by Artemis.
At the four corners, Mephistopheles placed his four symbolic weapons that had always been with him: a dagger representing wind, a scepter representing fire, Holy Grail representing water, and a celestial sphere representing earth.
Then, he invoked the power of the four archangels, causing them to descend and stand guard, maintaining the balance of the four elements.
Suspended in the air is Anti-Kabbalah double-headed serpent sign, which he needs to absorb and balance when there is an excess of yin energy.
On the ground, a variant of Metatron Cube is depicted, along with the Rigveda creation hymns written by him personally.
At this moment, all preparations are finally complete!
Mephistopheles sliced open his palm, dripping his blood into the mercury-inscribed array, and began to chant.
"Aima Elohim! Binah-Saturnus-Shakti! (Mother Goddess! Understand-Saturn- Shakti!)"
The incredibly simple incantation encompassed the three feminine powers of Kabbalah, astrology, and Tantric Buddhism. As these three powers merged, the mercury began to flow backward, constantly changing, causing the entire space to tremble. At the same time, the mercury-based magic circle exhibited three distinct yet overlapping characteristics.
The first layer consists of the 72 names of gods in Kabbalah, which constantly merge and then separate.
The second level: The mantras of the Samaveda are chanted continuously with a special frequency, accompanied by the flow of mercury, as if reciting a great mythological poem.
The third stage: The environment inside the Temple is changing, and a scene resembling the universe is beginning to appear. It seems that the entire Temple will be transformed into a completely new universe under the radiation of mercury.
Artemis's face was full of worry. She concentrated all her energy and carefully observed the summoning situation. Mephistopheles's summoning had only just begun, but it had already shown terrifying power. The opening scene showed a picture of the universe, as if to say that the real creator god was about to appear!
Mephistopheles remained calm, as if he wasn't frightened by the scene. Perhaps this was within his expectations, Artemis thought to herself, calming herself slightly and preparing to intervene and stop the summoning at any time.
Mephistopheles took a deep breath, relieved that he hadn't rashly initiated the summoning this time, but had instead patiently waited until he advanced to 7=4. Just a moment ago, he felt the backlash of that power.
If one does not reach the rank of 7=4 when reciting this incantation, there is a very high probability that their soul will be torn apart by the triple yin power. Clearly, his preparations were not in vain.
He knew this was just the beginning, an echo from the Abyss, a response from understanding the Prima Materia, and with that response, it was time to move on to the next step.
With his left hand, he drew the Hindu womb mudra, and with his right hand, he formed the Golden Dawn LVX Light Cross Sign, and began chanting mantras in the order of the mudras.
"Ateh Malkuth ve-Geburah ve-Gedulah le-Olahm, Amen! (You belong to the Kingdom, the Material Realm, with power, with glory, forever and ever, Amen!)"
Finally, he spread his arms horizontally to the sides with his palms facing up, then raised his arms above his head and crossed them to form a "V" shape. After that, he stretched his arms forward and extended his palms to form an invisible "X" symbol, thus completing the entire process of the LVX Light Cross Sign.
This represents receiving the power of divine light, channeling its power into the material world, and manifesting it.
As Mephistopheles manipulated these actions, Kabbalah and Anti-Kabbalah began to overlap on the surface of Sri Yantra, and tricolored flames rose from the mercury array.
It was the black womb of chaos, the deep red blood of destruction, and the iridescent geometric order of Metatron —three distinct forces, all manifested in this world.
Then, the three-colored flames began to gather, merge, and Tzimtzum, as if some strange force was drawing them towards the center.
Ultimately, the three-colored flames transformed into an extreme point, a point that could almost be described as having a radius of 0!
That's the singularity!
Artemis stared blankly at the unified singularity. She hadn't expected that such a powerful being would appear in Mephistopheles's summoning True Magic. The singularity of the three-colored flames surpassed the core existence of Chaldea!
Mephistopheles, however, was now at his most focused, for the moment had finally arrived!
"Nuit! Babalon! Shakti! Tear the curtain with the power of 8=3!"
The being named Nuit is the supreme mother goddess. Her power descended and became a vessel for the void, perhaps reaching the level of the universe. Babalon, who is also a supreme mother goddess, brought the power of chaos. In the end, Shakti's power manifested, becoming a cycle of creation and destruction!
The primordial Shakti appeared before Mephistopheles was the goddess of destruction and creation. Her face was dignified, showing no sign of being associated with destruction; she was quiet and peaceful, as if she had always been.
Mephistopheles sensed something amiss; time was reversing within his body—this was the price of the summoning!
At this rate, you can look 7 years younger in just one minute!
If the length of time cannot be controlled, it is very likely that it will revert to an embryo and lose its own consciousness!
Without hesitation, Mephistopheles stepped into the magic circle, and in an instant, endless knowledge flooded into his mind.
He didn't even have time to communicate with the other party. If he wasted too much time here, he would lose the chance to start over forever!
The Solomon Pentagram on his heart protects his body from being assimilated by the yin forces, resisting this powerful cost and preventing too much time reversal. Even so, it can only reduce the cost of 7 years per minute to 3 years per minute at most.
"Drag me out in 20 seconds!" Mephistopheles's voice reached Artemis's ears. Twenty seconds was exactly one year of reverse flow, a time Mephistopheles could accept.
Those 20 seconds felt like hours to Mephistopheles. He felt everything around him slow down dramatically. Shakti possessed the power of time, or rather, she was time itself. In those short 20 seconds, Mephistopheles felt an endless stream of information flooding his mind.
The content was incomprehensible, at least the vast majority of it, and even the parts that were comprehensible put immense strain on the brain. Yet, Mephistopheles still endured this onslaught.
His body was changing, and he began to show obvious female characteristics, such as his Adam's apple disappearing and his breasts becoming slightly protruding. The powerful feminine theory was causing his body to develop in a female direction.
This was something that could not be avoided, and for the time being, all that could be done was to endure it. Finally, the long 20 seconds passed, and Artemis acted without hesitation, pulling Mephistopheles out and into the protective array she had created.
The supreme feminine power was still surging outside, but Mephistopheles's physical changes had stopped. He took a deep breath and ended the summoning.
With the disappearance of the Primordial Shakti, the feminine characteristics that had appeared on Mephistopheles also began to disappear, and he became a boy again.
"You look even younger." Artemis blinked at Mephistopheles, then reached out and gently pinched Mephistopheles cheek. "Your skin is smoother too. Compared to before, although you are male now, you have a distinctly feminine air about you... or as you would say, you're starting to fit the description of a cross-dresser."
"Once I complete the 9=2 Prima Materia Summon, I can return to my original state," Mephistopheles muttered, feeling the changes in his body. "There's nothing I can do about it. 10=1, the pinnacle is the fusion of everything, whether it's yin or yang, it's just one of them. To walk this path, revealing all of one's own possibilities is inevitable."
As he spoke, he fell backward, landing on a soft body, where Artemis caught him.
Then, he was picked up by the other person, in a princess carry.
At this moment, his body was extremely weak, and coupled with the influence of the yin energy just now, he did indeed look even more delicate.
Artemis happily carried Mephistopheles outside, saying as they walked, "I saw you starting to change into a woman, so I thought I'd try it out. Even though you're still male, it doesn't really make a difference!"
Mephistopheles struggled symbolically for a moment, then gave up resisting; he really didn't want to move now, he just wanted to rest.
Moreover, at this moment, the pollution belonging to Shakti was still rampaging inside his body, and having Artemis, who was a goddess, hold him could speed up his recovery.
After all, this summoning also used Artemis's power as a medium.
"Do you know?" Artemis gently sniffed Mephistopheles, her eyes filled with desire, "Your scent is incredibly alluring right now. If I had to say, my instinct right now is to keep you by my side, preferably naked."
It might sound like a suggestive joke, and perhaps the content itself is indeed suggestive, but Mephistopheles knew that the other party's true meaning was quite serious.
The supreme feminine power within him now attracts Artemis, the goddess. If Artemis were to obtain this power, she might be able to break through her current limitations, transcend the constraints of the Type-Moon, and formally develop into a higher level of life form.
Just like the Lion King, the Phase god, in the present day.
Unable to bear it any longer, Artemis, carrying Mephistopheles, stormed headlong into Mephistopheles's bedroom, leaving everyone staring in disbelief.
Ritsuka Fujimaru whispered to Medea, "Um... so the virgin goddess Artemis is this unrestrained?"
The level of affection was so intense that it felt like she was reading a romance novel; it was as if the two people were completely glued together!
"Hmm... you'll get used to it..." Medea murmured, using her connection with Mephistopheles to inquire about the current situation. After receiving the answer, Medea revealed a playful expression, "And Artemis is now almost controlled by her instincts."
Chapter 220 Creation
In the occult, one of the most effective True Magic is sex True Magic.
From the perspective of the origin of the universe, chaos is the unity of yin and yang, so the union of men and women is in harmony with the universe itself.
Therefore, the simplest and most effective way to obtain the goddess's power that one desperately desires from Mephistopheles, who is now filled with supreme feminine power, is to devour Mephistopheles.
Eat it all up, and keep eating it, several times in a row.
So, for almost the entire time afterward, Artemis took the initiative, while Mephistopheles was completely sealed onto the bed by her, unable to get off for a long time.
Of course, he couldn't get down either, since he was exhausted and had no strength to resist the other party, so he could only let the other party continue to "play" with him.
So, when Artemis finally released Mephistopheles, satisfied, several hours had passed, and the room was filled with yin energy.
Mephistopheles, who was already exhausted, fell asleep. However, the toxins in his body were reduced considerably, as Artemis absorbed much of them.
Artemis happily arrived at the bathroom and took a comfortable shower. However, she had just finished showering when she suddenly froze, then her expression changed. She pushed open the door and rushed out at an extremely fast speed, reaching the limit without causing a sonic boom.
Ritsuka Fujimaru was chatting with Medea and the others when she saw Artemis rushing over. She looked puzzled and asked, "Artemis, what's wrong? Did you find there are no condoms in the house?"
In a setting where everyone is a girl, she is noticeably less secretive in her speech.
"She wouldn't get pregnant if she didn't want to; she's a virgin goddess," Medea said from the side, a curious look on her face. However, as Magecraft from the Age of Gods, she was proficient in Magecraft and had learned a lot from Mephistopheles True Magic. She noticed something strange. "Her condition is a bit odd. It seems like her divine power is overflowing. She must have gained too much goddess power after her intimate interaction with Mephistopheles."
"Rampage of Yin energy?!" Ritsuka Fujimaru's eyes widened immediately. She had learned a lot from Mephistopheles, and she immediately realized the problem.
"Hmm, it's Rampage caused by an excess of yin energy. But she's a goddess, and this is her true form descending, so it shouldn't be a big problem. Even if she might have threatened the world during the Age of Gods, this is Chaldea, so there won't be any issues here." Medea said, her expression relaxing again. "She's probably going to the Temple now, which can fully contain the overflowing goddess power she's about to unleash."
Artemis rushed into the Temple, then closed the door, and then, without further restraint, unleashed all her divine power.
If it were the power of the moon goddess, even a higher-ranking one, Artemis would be confident in controlling it, but this is not the case.
This is the Primordial Shakti, representing creation and destruction; it is the power of the Trimurti, the supreme feminine power, representing the pinnacle of womanhood.
This power was flowing continuously within her body, into her Divine Core, and into her limbs and bones, constantly transforming her body.
She could feel her Divine Core constantly improving, as if it were leaping, instantly traversing endless space and time and entering a completely new realm.
The Kabbalah Tree of Life diagram on the Temple dome suddenly went upside down, and the tenth element, "Malkuth," blossomed with Hindu tandraksha patterns. Artemis's silver hair spread out like quantum clouds, each strand carrying the creation memories of the Trimurti —Brahma's chanting, Vishnu's dreams, and Shiva's Dance of Destruction— all achieving a delicate balance at this moment.
This is a myth based on the creator goddess. The Trimurti are all manifestations of the Primordial Shakti. Now, these three gods have appeared, but they have dispersed again and transformed into three goddesses.
This time, the Saraswati, Lakshmi, and Kali have appeared!
"The Seventh Primal Matter (Netzach)'s laws of victory are being reconstructed..." Relying on her ever-expanding mystical knowledge, she gazed at the Shakti Wheel appearing in her palm. The Moonlight Armor automatically disassembled into countless rotating golden ratio gears, constructing a wondrous combination. "Is this the power of the gods in the myths that Mephistopheles spoke of?"
Artemis sensed this change and compared it with the knowledge in her mind, confirming it one by one.
As the laurel wreath on Artemis's forehead melted into liquid starlight, her mechanical brain was calculating the next change in her Divine Core. The parameters of her Divine Core were jumping at a frequency of 129,600 times per second, which coincided with the rhythm of the universe's restart. At the same time, the frequency jump of her Divine Core also allowed her own power to permeate into endless spacetime, corresponding to 72 divine names, completing 72 synchronizations per second.
At this moment, her Divine Core was undergoing changes in a state akin to "miniature creation"!
Her Divine Core has broken through, surpassing the A+++ level, and continues to improve, with no end in sight!
Shakti's power was terrifying, far beyond what Artemis's lunar powers could handle. Fortunately, this was Temple, and the Tree of Life guarded its lunar domain. Although Shakti's influence was strong, it was gradually dissipating. Artemis finally breathed a sigh of relief after an unknown amount of time had passed.
However, even though she breathed a sigh of relief, her condition didn't improve much.
Medea was already standing at the door at some point. She pushed the door open and looked at Artemis. Artemis slowly walked out, but after only a few steps, she frowned.
Ritsuka Fujimaru stepped forward, intending to ask how the other was, but was instantly pulled behind Medea. Almost at the same time, Artemis also retreated back into the Temple.
