Pillar symbolism
The "Fallen Mother Goddess," having broken free from "Fascination," underwent a corresponding Change when Lumian obtained the Phoenix Egg.
His enormous body rapidly collapsed towards his abdomen, as if to solidify into a Bird's Nest or a Womb, returning to the state of an embryo, and then being reborn.
In this way, apart from the symbols He already possesses, all other symbols associated with Him in the outside world will be reset and cease to exist!
Lumian could no longer use the Mysticism law of similarity to make himself equal to Him, or kill Him by killing himself.
The reason why the "Fallen Mother Goddess" did not take this method to get rid of the symbol's influence before was twofold. First, as soon as she descended into the Barrier through the symbol, she was "Fooling" and "Deceit" by "The Fool" Klein, who used one of the core elements of Divinity, the Convergence Instinct, to lead her into the Grayish-White Fog that sealed the Western Continent. She was so focused on taking back the "Brood Hive" that she was unwilling to Rebirth and let the useful symbol disappear. Second, in the process of accommodating the "Brood Hive," she could not reset and be Rebirth, which would cause the progress of accommodating it to start from zero.
As the "Fallen Mother Goddess" collapsed Rebirth, Klein, the "Lord of Mysteries" of the Astral World, had given up on maintaining the Illusory Barrier. As he listened to it creaking and about to break, he raised his hands, causing a huge Light Gate, stained with Blue-Black, to emerge from the Gloom Depths inside his Black Trench Coat.
"Sefirah Castle!"
This is a key symbol of Klein's all-out use of the "Lord of Mysteries".
With a "clang," the collapse and Rebirth of the "Fallen Mother Goddess" slowed down, and what could have been done in the blink of an eye took two or three seconds to complete.
"Change"!
This is one of the core symbols of the "Lord of Mysteries": controlling Change, making it slow down, speed up, stagnate, or Error. The act of the "Fallen Mother Goddess" returning to the embryonic state and resetting her own symbolism is a kind of Change!
Previously, Klein did not use the symbol of "Change" to influence the progress of the "Fallen Mother Goddess" in accommodating the "Brood Hive" because he had to go all out and fully utilize the power of the "Sefirah Castle." At that time, he also had to maintain the Barrier and fight against the other eight "Rulers of the Old One." In addition, the "Fallen Mother Goddess" has now used the special symbol of the "Chaos Primordial Fetus" and has fallen into a long period of weakness that cannot be recovered from through "Rebirth." The influence exerted on her Change will be more significant.
After the "Fallen Mother Goddess" attempted to return to the embryonic state and slowed down, "Calamity of the Root" Lumian but unusually resolute determination, plunged the Black-Flame Greatsword that bound destruction and madness into his own body, a gesture symbolizing "Calamity".
Suddenly, "Flames of Destruction" erupted from within his body, Burning his body, Burning the consciousness of Cheek, the consciousness of Alista Tudor, the consciousness of the "Mirror-World Primordial One Creator" split in two, the remaining spirit of the "Primordial Witch God" and the consciousness of the "Sinful Dragon", and also Burning the consciousness of himself, Aurora and Jenna.
Lumian's body then began a devastating collapse, nearing its Apocalypse and fading into Chaos.
The most deserving "Calamity of the Root" and "Doomsday Calamity" is what brings Calamity upon oneself and ultimately leads to one's own destruction.
Amidst the silent, Burning, Burning Black Flame, Lumian turned his head and exchanged a smile with Aurora and Jenna, whose faces Pain.
He looked back at the "Fallen Mother Goddess" with Distortion yet satisfied smile.
He saw black Flames carrying destruction and Chaos surge from the body of the "Fallen Mother Goddess" who was radiating Crimson Moonlight. He saw her huge, half-collapsed body crumble layer by layer, throwing out all sorts of reproductive organs, which were quickly reduced to ashes by the "Flames of Destruction" that Entanglement them.
Having become the "Calamity of the Root," Lumian no longer needed Mr. The Fool's help to fully utilize symbols, especially those that could bring Calamity!
The "Fallen Mother Goddess," whose beauty was flawless and whose very concept of beauty was synonymous with beauty, tilted her head back slightly and let out a howl filled with Pain, like that of Banshee.
Many of the Klein surrounding this area withered instantly, died, turned into soil, and returned to Mother Earth.
The entire Planet lost its vitality, the brilliant Stars in the sky dimmed, and various parts of the boundless Universe trembled to varying degrees.
Reality has wavered.
The Burning of Lumian's consciousness and the collapse of his body were amplified by death and desolation, becoming even faster. However, this in turn affected the "Fallen Mother Goddess," making the collapse of her enormous body even more violent, leaving the numerous organs that had not yet been ejected in a state of utter stillness.
As the "Fallen Mother Goddess" was destroyed, leaving only a thin, Bird's Nest- like Womb enveloping the colossal creature, the Chaos black Flames that constantly ignited either mysteriously extinguished or could no longer penetrate deeper.
"The Undying One!"
This is the symbol of the "immortality" of the "Fallen Mother Goddess." This "immortality" not only refers to the fact that the spirit of the "Fallen Mother Goddess" is as indestructible as that of the "Primordial Witch God" and the "Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth," and will gradually revive over time, but also represents that Her soul and Her body will not be completely destroyed.
The Fallen Mother Goddess will never fall!
Unless He encounters the "Primordial One Creator" who can make all the impossible possible, unless the Fourth Pillar, representing the Termination of all things, is born, unless He overuses the special symbol of the "Chaos Primordial Fetus."
Of course, Klein and Lumian, who had long known that the "Fallen Mother Goddess" had the honorific title of "Undying One" and the symbol of "immortality," never dared to hope that they could truly kill this Great Mother Goddess. Their plan was always just to severely damage the "Fallen Mother Goddess" and banish her from the Astral World Barrier.
At this moment, the "Fallen Mother Goddess" was already in a long period of weakness due to the special symbolism of using the "Chaos Primordial Fetus," and even the recovery brought by "Rebirth" was slowed down. She was also severely damaged by Lumian using symbolic connections and the symbolism of Calamity, which completely satisfied the first stage goal of the "Magician's " performance plan.
The problem is that the second phase goal can never be achieved because the Astral World Barrier no longer exists.
"Lord of Mysteries" Klein remained calm, showing no sign of frustration. He raised his Staff inlaid with stardust and attached the projection of the cyan-black Light Gate to it.
His eyes reflected the image of the "Fallen Mother Goddess," now reduced to only the last reproductive organ and the last embryo.
"Banishment" and "sealed"!
Before the "Fallen Mother Goddess" suffered a devastating blow, such an attempt would have been difficult to remove the Pillar of reality from the current Planet, but now, there is that opportunity!
As starlight fell, the "Fallen Mother Goddess's " shape, no longer in its original form, instantly Change.
He became an illusory, enormous Oak Tree, connecting the earth and supporting the sky, overlapping himself with the real world of the entire Universe.
Pillar symbolize strength!
The "Fallen Mother Goddess" invoked her status as the Ruler of Reality, a symbol representing the Pillar of strength!
The enormous, bizarre Oak Tree shook violently, yet it remained rooted in reality, supporting it, neither Banishment nor sealed away.
A Wilderness unfolds, and a branch Entanglement with green Mistletoe flies from the top of a strange Oak Tree.
The branch instantly appeared above Lumian, who was still Burning and destroying in the Black Flame, and sprinkled rain like sweet dew.
The "Flames of Destruction" on Lumian's body quickly extinguished, and the ongoing physical collapse was stopped by "Rebirth." Among the consciousnesses within him, only his own consciousness, Aurora's consciousness, and Jenna's consciousness were nourished by the "sweet rain" and recovered considerably, allowing him to regain a balance that could be maintained for a few more minutes.
At this moment, the "Fallen Mother Goddess" actually chose to save him!
Of course, the "Fallen Mother Goddess" was also saving herself in this way:
He neither wanted Lumian to die before the symbol was removed, making himself even worse and weaker, nor did He want Lumian to lose his balance and unleash something potentially terrifying. So, if the symbolic connection were reflected in Him, it might be equivalent to the "Chaos Primordial Fetus" truly being born in the real world.
As the rain, as sweet as dew, fell, the giant Oak Tree that supported the entire world vanished from its spot thanks to Klein's "Banishment" power.
The Pillar of reality, the "Fallen Mother Goddess," has left the current Planet and appeared outside the Solar System.
He then transformed into a crimson liquid, enveloping a Giant Planet, and began the Change of returning to the embryonic stage, gaining Rebirth, and resetting his state.
This time, although the "Lord of Mysteries" Klein did not exert influence through symbols, the "Fallen Mother Goddess," severely traumatized and suffering from a period of weakness that could not be eliminated in a short time, still struggled to absorb life and complete her contraction. It seemed that the "Rebirth" was being prevented by the symbol of destruction, as if she did not want to stimulate the "Chaos Primordial Fetus" that had returned to Slumber.
Across the vast distance, this crimson Planet continues to gaze upon the place where a part of its body resides, severing symbolic connections, healing its own wounds, and patiently awaiting an opportunity—a time when the situation becomes more chaotic, when the other "Rulers of the Old One" are embroiled in fierce competition, and the "Lord of Mysteries" is weakened or suppressed, so that it can descend again, reclaim everything, and strive for additional gains.
"Lord of Mysteries" Klein did not pursue "Fallen Mother Goddess" to inflict further damage, nor did "Calamity of the Root" Lumian utilize the symbolic connection to continue "self-harm," because they both clearly understood that "Fallen Mother Goddess" is immortal. Severely injuring and driving her away, preventing her return for a short time, had already achieved their intended purpose. Doing more afterward would not have yielded much better results than the current outcome and might even have triggered the problem of "Chaos Primordial Fetus."
At the same time, and more importantly, a faint but distinct shattering sound came from behind Klein.
The last Barrier he had pulled from the Historical Fog has completely collapsed.
The first thing that caught Lumian's Eyes was a terrifying Star Cluster composed of numerous Exploding Suns.
The lifeless Planet beneath his feet was suddenly torn to pieces by an immense force, ceasing to exist.
