Jenna paused for a moment, then said, "Yes."

Initially, they believed that the Special Mirror World was a product of the "War of the Four Emperors," created by the aftermath of the fierce battle between the "Primordial Witch," the "Blood Emperor," and other True God of the Fourth Epoch. Later, Lumian explored the treasure vault of the "Blue Avenger" and discovered new information, suspecting that the special Mirror World existed before the "War of the Four Emperors," and speculating that it was used by the "Blood Emperor" Alista Tudor to deal with the "Primordial Witch" and to prepare a means of Resurrection.

At the time, what puzzled them most was how Alista Tudor, the True God of the "Hunter" Pathway, could create such a special and strange Mirror World. Did Subordinate His "Apprentice" Pathway High-Ranking Being participate?

Franca then lamented, "According to Lumian's words and our experience, ' Hunter ' bring Calamity, and ' Witch ' also bring Calamity. Doesn't the True God of the ' Hunter ' Pathway plus the True God of the ' Witch ' Pathway equal the concept of Calamity? No wonder Fourth Epoch Trier ended up like that..."

"However, if True God from adjacent Pathway can still cooperate amicably, shouldn't they be unable to resist the urge to Aggregation when they meet, to determine who is superior and who is inferior, and to decide life and death?"

This was also a question that puzzled Jenna. She pursed her lips slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Is there a way to control that urge to Aggregation?"

"This is outside my knowledge. I'll probably have to become Angel before I can access the relevant Mysticism knowledge, right?" Franca joked to herself, habitually letting her thoughts wander. "The ' Primordial Witch ' might be able to, but the ' Blood Emperor ' definitely can't. According to what we know about the Fourth Epoch, he's a violent, bloodthirsty, and cruel Madman. How could he control himself? Unless someone helps him, who can help him?"

Jenna paused, then said thoughtfully, "The Tamara Family..."

"Uh..." Franca's eyes gradually brightened, "Yes, the Tamara Family should have mainly used the ' Apprentice ' Pathway at that time, and the High-Ranking Being of the ' Apprentice ' Pathway are skilled in sealing and controlling space, and can also utilize the Mirror World to a certain extent. Hmm, this can well explain the Tamara Family's involvement in the Special Mirror World."

One of the two Special Mirror World Fragment that she and Jenna possessed came from the Tamara Family's Tomb Chamber.

Franca became more and more excited as she spoke:

"The Tamara Family should be the bridge between the ' Blood Emperor ' and the ' Primordial Witch,' and they're on a secret mission! Given their long-term contact with the Witch Sect, it's only natural that some members of their family would defect Past them after the split."

"Moreover, since Lady Krismona is Descendants of the ' Blood Emperor,' then her twin brother, the current ' Gray Witch,' must also be a direct descendant of the ' Apprentice ' branch of the Tamara Family. For over a thousand years, she has endured humiliation and willingly become a woman, all to continue serving the ' Blood Emperor '! So loyal, so incredibly loyal!"

As she spoke, Franca pretended to wipe away tears, as if to show that she was moved.

Jenna was already used to this guy's boundless, rambling thoughts and nonsensical jokes, and she raised a question on her own:

"At that time, the Tamara Family only had ' Apprentice ' Pathway Angel at Sequence 2. Could they really seal the ' Blood Emperor's' urge to Aggregation?"

"The Tamara Family won't work, That One what about Mr. 'The Door'? Lumian said he's the number one Nobles in the Tudor Empire, and Amon, who's ranked after him, is definitely Angel King. So he's probably one too. An Angel King's on the ' Apprentice ' Pathway should be able to temporarily seal the ' Blood Emperor's ' urge to Aggregation, right?" Franca said seriously, carefully considering her words. "Mr. 'The Door' was also involved in the events in the Special Mirror World?"

"Possibly," Jenna agreed.

The normal Mirror World is actually a collection of the concept of "doors".

Franca's train of thought suddenly veered off course, and she chuckled softly.

"There is another possibility: the Aggregation of the ' Hunter ' Pathway True God and the ' Witch ' Pathway True God manifests differently from other Pathway. First, Yin and Yang attract and Fusion, and only after reaching a certain point will they devour each other to determine the final victor."

Jenna couldn't help but roll her Eyes.

Franca is telling another vulgar joke.

Of course, for Jenna, who had spent a long time frequenting various Bar and Dance Hall in the Market District and living as a "Exaggerated Woman," this level of vulgar jokes was for minors.

Franca immediately stopped smiling:

"Now I can truly understand what the ' Black Witch ' said. No wonder she asked me why I felt the Witch Sect didn't control that special Mirror World, saying that the Special Mirror World was controlled by the Primordial Witch until the end of the ' War of the Four Emperors '."

"But she also believes that the Special Mirror World was originally intended to deal with the Primordial Witch, only to be later controlled by the Primordial Witch... Is she unaware of the original secrets and the ' Gray Witch's ' background, or is she simply deceiving me, fooling me, or perhaps the ' Blood Emperor ' did initially intend to deal with the Primordial Witch, but was instead controlled by the Primal in the Special Mirror World, thus turning to cooperation?"

Or perhaps, the purpose of cooperation is to counter?

"Hmm, what purpose do they intend to achieve by creating such a special Mirror World?"

Jenna shook her head honestly:

"Have no idea."

Franca scratched her ponytail, and said thoughtfully, "' The Black Witch ' is both Descendants of the Primordial Witch and has the blood of the Tamara Family. Her understanding of the Special Mirror World may be deeper than I imagined."

Jenna hummed in agreement and rubbed her temples.

"Regardless, we need to report this information as soon as possible."

Franca glanced at Jenna, cleared her throat, and said, "You also need to go back and rest well to adjust to the effects of the Potion on your body."

At the foot of the Corpse Mountain Peak, Lumian closed his eyes, leaning against the Corpse and skeletons, listening intently to the monotonous voice coming from his Brass Earpiece.

He is completing his studies.

He no longer needs to listen to all the remaining books; mastering the current one will likely suffice, but even so, it will still take more than ten hours.

Time ticked by, and Lumian's body grew weaker and weaker. Even with his back against the Corpse and skeletons, he could no longer sit upright and only managed to stay upright with the help of external forces.

His spirituality was also rapidly evaporating, rendering him unable to even use "Teleportation" anymore.

Fortunately, he had put away the item left behind by Sallys in advance, and the Mysticism Pathogens that filled the air had been dissipated due to the activation of "0-01". His condition was not so serious that his heart could not beat and his Spirit Body showed signs of disintegration. He could still barely maintain his condition.

After an unknown amount of time, Lumian suddenly regained his energy, his physical strength was restored, and his spirituality was replenished.

It was Six in the Morning, according to Cordou Village time.

With his body reset Regeneration, Lumian sat up straight and continued with the final part of his studies.

After nearly a quarter of an hour, he uttered a Vocabulary in a Ancient Hermetic voice:

"Stop!"

He felt the Corruption had reached a critical point and couldn't be allowed to accumulate any further!

As soon as the Brass Charm finished transmitting knowledge, Lumian's mind became hazy.

In the dim light, he "saw" again the charred flag covered in dangerous bloodstains, the flag shrouded in dense darkness, swaying gently.

Lumian also "saw" Corpse strewn across the ground, "saw" a vast army, "saw" the earth stained with blood, and "saw" countless severed limbs and remains...

A strong smell of blood and rust pierced his nose, as if it were coming from himself.

Lumian felt a kind of calling, not only from the charred flag, but also from the dense darkness surrounding it.

The burning heat and icy coldness in the palm of his right hand became increasingly clear.

They originated from the Residual Aura of the "Blood Emperor" and the seal left by the "Underworld Daoist," respectively.

At that moment, Lumian suddenly understood another purpose, a deeper purpose, of the person the Aurora Order believed in That One arranged the "Dream Festival":

"Only with the seal of the ' Underworld Daoist ' did I truly possess the Mysticism similarities with '0-01'..."

"'0-01' once belonged to ' Blood Emperor ' Alista Tudor, then was controlled by ' Death God ' and Corruption by the power of the ' Death God ' Pathway. The latter was also used by the Church of Knowledge to seal '0-01' itself. And now, I have the Residual Aura of the ' Blood Emperor ' within me, and the seal left behind by the ' Underworld Daoist ' who possesses the power of the ' Death God ', ' Evernight ', and ' Warrior ' Pathway..."

In a flash, Lumian combined his newly acquired knowledge with Albus and Julie's performance, and stood up as if summoned by a strange and dangerous call, "Teleportation" to the top of the Corpse Mountain Peak.

He didn't open his eyes; in the deathly, cold darkness, even if he did, he wouldn't be able to see anything.

As the distance closed, Lumian felt a distinct stinging sensation between his brows; it seemed as if his blood, or something else, was trying to burst forth from his pores and the cracks in his flesh.

Lumian did not resist, enduring the pain.

Finally, a drop of what looked like blood tore through his brow and flew out, heading towards the location of "0-01".

A snapping sound followed, and the Residual Aura of the "Blood Emperor" within Lumian's body suddenly surged, transforming into a raging river of Flames that swept through Lumian's Spirit Body, internal organs, and flesh.

The icy, decaying sensation in Lumian's palm intensified, preventing the river of Flames from carrying away all his flesh and blood from the seal.

Lumian was in so much Pain that he almost lost consciousness. Only when the Residual Aura of the "Blood Emperor" gradually subsided did he slowly regain his senses.

He let out a long sigh and muttered to himself, "It should be the successor to '0-01'..."

"If it weren't for the seal of the ' Underworld Daoist,' I would definitely have become another Vanak, no, not another Vanak, but Alista Tudor, That One ' Blood Emperor,' who would have returned through my body."

Lumian dared not linger near "0-01," fearing that the Sealed Artifact might discover that its new agent still had a flaw—a flaw in its remaining will.

Lumian also knew that with his current status and strength, it was impossible for him to take "0-01" out of Morola. Even if the Church of Knowledge agreed to let him do so, it would only lead to his own destruction.

Phew, leaving the Brand and becoming an agent means the mission is successfully completed. It's a pity that "0-01" is tightly sealed. The agent's special abilities can only be fully realized in Morola... Lumian muttered a couple of words and "Teleportation" back to the Wilderness.

He immediately sensed a squad of Undead soldiers and Steel Soldier Puppets patrolling silently in the darkness, lingering eternally.

Lumian suddenly had a thought:

The connections between the Contract told him that the leader was "Abscessed Severed Hand"!

This mysterious creature, after being Divine Descent, gradually grew bones and flesh, but it seems to have been conquered by "0-01" and become its guardian.

Is the Severed-Hand Brother's special trait that he's unkillable? Lumian turned his body to the side, letting "Abscessed Severed Hand" lead the group of Marionette past him.

Suddenly, "Abscessed Severed Hand" stopped in front of Lumian and uttered a low voice:

"Ombella..."
