An obscured ritual
Blasphemy Cards?
Emperor Roselle created these Blasphemy Cards based on the second Blasphemy Slate and his personal experience, each representing a Divine Pathway? Lumian and Franca were both shocked.
They had long known about the Blasphemy Cards through the diaries of Emperor Roselle and various other sources of Mysticism knowledge, but items of this caliber naturally possessed the characteristics of Anti-Prophecy Anti-Divination, and they had only ever heard of them, never seen them in person.
Now, the "Witch" card appeared before them.
This is a gift from the mirror image of Emperor Roselle to Lumian!
In a flash, an idea instinctively came to Lumian's mind:
"He would be so kind?"
At this moment, the "Queen of Mysteries" spoke again:
It's true.
"A real Blasphemy Cards, a real ' Witch ' card?" Franca curiously leaned closer, examining the item she had longed for.
Lumian was silent for a few seconds, then chuckled and reached out to pick up the "Witch" card.
We already owe so much debt and have so many creditors, so what's a little more?
The "Queen of Mysteries" gazed at the Blasphemy Cards in Lumian's hand, paused for a moment, and then said, "The activation Incantation should be my name, in Old Feysac."
The name... Lumian recited in a low voice:
Bernadette.
The "Witch" card instantly created an invisible Whirlpool, frantically drawing in Lumian's spirit and spirituality.
Soon, the "Witch" card became three-dimensional, turning into a miniature book.
The book opened naturally, revealing a clean-shaven Men Roselle dressed as Roselle was from Assassin's Creed.
Next to this figure is a corresponding Old Feysac description:
"Sequence 9, Assassin."
"Each ' Assassin ' possesses the ability to temporarily alter their body, gaining the lightness of a feather to perform a Leap of Faith, and has the vision of an eagle and Darkvision, excelling in combat, evasion, and Concealment."
"Shadows are their friends and their camouflage. Once they leave the shadows, they use their nimble footwork to gather all their strength and deliver a fatal blow to their target..."
"Potion Formula..."
Lumian reached out and touched the Blasphemy Cards, which had transformed into a miniature book, watching it flip through the pages and transforming the image of Emperor Roselle from male to female, becoming more and more beautiful and Allure, gradually "overlapping" with the Roselle in the mirror.
Finally, a Emperor Roselle in the mirror, seemingly much younger and resembling a young girl, came into Lumian's Eyes.
The corresponding information was also presented:
"Sequence 3: Unaging (Witch of Unaging).
"Each of these ' Witch of Unaging ' is eternally young, skilled in Resurrection, and incredibly difficult to kill. They are the darlings of the Mirror World, and are true Gorgon..."
"Potion Formula:
Main Ingredient: One Heart of the Mirror God, a pair of Gorgon's eyes;
"Auxiliary Ingredient: Nine Mirror God's Fragment, 80 ml of Gorgon's blood, an antique Mirror over 500 years old with a corresponding Mirror-Behind Region, and 22 drops of water from the lungs of Drowned;
"Ritual: Find yourself in the mirror, enslave him with your own power, make him truly infatuated with you, or reconcile with him."
Upon seeing this, Lumian and Franca were once again reminded of Krismona about "reconciling with Self in the Mirror."
Will different approaches lead to different outcomes? Lumian pondered for a moment, then turned to the next page:
Sequence 2: Calamity (Calamity Witch).
"The ' Calamity Witch ' brings all sorts of Calamity such as Blizzard, Flood, Tsunami, Earthquake, and Meteorite impacts; everyone who hears her name feels a deep-seated fear..."
"Potion Formula..."
"Ritual: Create a Calamity that affects the entire continent as Participant, and ascend through the Calamity."
Lumian didn't examine the specific recipe in detail, only glancing at the Sequence names and corresponding Ritual.
He turned to the next page:
"Sequence 1: Apocalypse (Witch of the Apocalypse).
"...
"Ritual: Ascension at the recognized end of an era or the beginning of the next; ascension during the harbingers and process of the Apocalypse; ascension when one's involvement leads to the fall of a Deity."
"Any one of the three Ritual is valid."
According to the description of Emperor Roselle in the mirror and my own speculation, the Apocalypse will come sooner than expected... Every time the Apocalypse, Calamity strike frequently, which is indeed very suitable for Witch... Lumian subconsciously held her breath and turned the Blasphemy Cards in her hand to the last page:
"Sequence 0: Witch (Primordial Witch, Chaos Witch)
"The source of Calamity, the symbol of the Apocalypse, the Witch who rules Chaos, the Ruler of the Mirror World, corresponding to the feminine side of the Original Creator."
"Potion Formula:
Materials: ' Witch ' Uniqueness, three ' Witch of the Apocalypse ' Beyonder Characteristic...
"Ritual..."
Lumian wanted to see what the "Witch" Pathway to Apotheosis Ritual was, but found that the corresponding text was blurry and unclear, as if it were obscured by some force.
Was this how the Emperor Roselle left this gift in the mirror, or was it already like this when He received the "Witch" card? Lumian turned his head to look at the "Queen of Mysteries":
"Your Highness, are you able to clearly see the contents of the Apotheosis Ritual?"
Bernadette stared for a moment, then slowly shook her head:
"The power level that obscures the corresponding content is very high, at least Sequence 0."
Lumian and Franca exchanged a glance and didn't ask any further questions.
For them, the Apotheosis Ritual was a distant dream; they would consider the "Witch of Unaging" first.
"Since I wasn't kicked out of the Dream, I can participate in your operation tomorrow." The "Queen of Mysteries" looked towards the window area where Huang Tao had just stood and said in a low voice.
"Thank you." Lumian didn't stand on ceremony.
He put the "Witch" card into his "Traveler's Bag".
When Lumian and the others returned to Xinhong Community, the Sunlight was still shining brightly, and it wasn't even afternoon tea time yet.
"Should we make Ludwig eat that Mushrooms now?" Franca moved over and sat down, asking with a mix of trepidation and curiosity.
Lumian thought for a few seconds, then smiled and said, "Yes."
"But you should leave first and return to Dechuang Garden. I'm afraid your life Termination by the Mutation brought about by the Mushrooms."
This doesn't mean that the Mushrooms could directly harm Franca, but rather that the corresponding Mutation could be quite dramatic, attracting the attention of the Celestial Worthy. This would be completely unbearable for Franca, who hasn't yet fully digested the "Despair" Potion.
"Alright..." Franca suppressed her emotions and returned to the Dechuang Garden through the Mirror World.
Lumian then sat down in the chair that Franca had just dragged out and said to Ludwig, "You can eat now."
Ludwig had been holding back for a long time, and quickly pulled out the dried jellyfish-shaped Mushrooms from his book.
Seeing this, Lumian turned his head and said to Anthony, "Take care to Soothing his mind and emotions."
"Good." Anthony's eyes narrowed, and Ludwig's figure was reflected in that pale gold light.
Ludwig swallowed hard, looked at the Mushrooms, and, with a hint of fear, popped it into his mouth.
He chewed it for a moment, then swallowed it with a satisfied gulp.
Lumian and Anthony were instantly on edge.
As time ticked by, Ludwig finally opened his mouth to assess the Change after eating:
"I can create Spores that can enter the human body, repair nerves and flesh, and merge with the spirit and soul."
"This could potentially awaken a person in a vegetative state, but the Patient's condition after fusing with the Spores is currently unknown..."
As Ludwig recounted his story, Lumian and Anthony saw clumps of flesh writhing beneath his skin, sometimes pushing it up, sometimes sinking it down.
This makes Ludwig appear as if he's wearing a cloak.
Suddenly, the skin on his neck tore open, and a wet, brown Mushrooms grew from the flesh.
Ludwig casually raised his right hand, snapped the Mushrooms off, popped it into his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it.
The wound on his neck healed quickly.
And so, Mushrooms began to sprout intermittently on Ludwig's body, sometimes the same kind, sometimes different, which he then plucked and ate as snacks.
This creates a peculiar balance.
"Will these Mushrooms fill you up?" Lumian quietly breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously.
Ludwig glanced at his Godfather:
"Can you get enough of sucking your own fingers?"
Lumian and Anthony suddenly understood the answer.
Anthony then looked at Lumian:
"Should we take him to Crimson Moon Hospital now and try to treat An Xiaotian?"
Lumian pondered for several minutes before answering:
No rush.
"Let's wait until tomorrow, until we officially take action."
Anthony didn't hide his doubts, but seeing that Lumian didn't offer any further explanation, he calmly kept quiet.
There must be a reason why they don't say it.
The next morning.
Lumian stood on the balcony of the Master Bedroom, gazing at the Green Trees- lined roads within the community and the slowly passing electric bikes and bicycles.
After a while, he reluctantly withdrew his gaze, walked into the living room, and placed the Magic Mirror Arrodes on the dining table.
After their last rental, they had figured out the rules for using the magic mirror:
You can only ask three questions within 24 hours, but you can ask one at intervals.
Lumian gazed at the ancient-patterned Silver Mirror with a black gem on each side, and calmly said, witnessed by Anthony and Ludwig, "Great Arrodes, I would like to ask you a question, the first question of the day."
The surface of the ancient Silver Mirror suddenly Gloom, revealing Vocabulary of Blood-Colored Old Feysac words:
"I can answer any question you ask, but you must also answer an equal number of my questions, in the presence of at least one Spectator."
"If you refuse to answer or lie, you will be punished."
Lumian nodded, a bright smile spreading across his face.
"My question is, was it a coincidence that That One Celestial Worthy Venerable attempted to use the ' Person in the Mirror ' phenomenon to coincide with your birth as a Mirror?"
On the magic mirror, the blood-red text rapidly faded, shrinking into a solitary Vocabulary:
"No."
