After learning that the so-called "Nightmare Apostle" was most likely an alias used by a Blatherer, Abner still did not dare take Lion Leon's assurance at face value. Leon was certain that Roselle's "mistress" would not intervene, but certainty was not enough.
After all, Yalubede Beria was a Sequence 3 Demigod. If she joined the attack, Abner feared his only options would be to merge with the Bone Dragon and endure five seconds, or threaten them with Lilith's Tears.
After a moment's thought, Abner began setting up a ritual in the carriage. Under Leon's gaze, which shifted from horror to utter bewilderment, he prayed in turn to the Earth Mother Goddess, the Evernight Goddess, and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom.
The responses came quickly.
The Earth Mother Goddess gave him an Honorific Name. It pointed to Helen, Karen's mother.
The Evernight Goddess bestowed a charm directly. A vertical eye formed from numerous symbols was inscribed on it, looking both sinister and mysterious.
The God of Knowledge and Wisdom gave no direct response, but Abner clearly felt his Simulation ability strengthen temporarily. For a short while, he should be able to use Demigod-level abilities.
Lilith clearly thinks that, with my skill in ritual magic, it won't be hard to devise a ritual to summon Helen as long as she isn't too far away...
The symbols on the Evernight Goddess's charm must represent Antigonus... I see. The charm is essentially a Spirit Worm. It summons a Historical Projection, pulling a person or object from the Historical Void to help me fight for ten seconds...
Don't tell me the Goddess just plucked this off Antigonus?
*The God of Knowledge and Wisdom's method isn't hard to guess either. This is the power of Authority: a True God of a Pathway influencing the abilities
