The painting
Inside the Wooden Hut in Trier, the Botanical Garden.
For a full minute, Lumian and the others were blinded by the sudden burst of light from high above.
Ludwig was the first to recover; he ran to the window and gazed at the plants outside, as if searching for something.
The second was Lumian, who frowned and said to Franca, Jenna, and Anthony, "Has the Whirlpool officially begun? This is getting quite dramatic."
"I wonder if it will affect us." Franca had just said this when she suddenly had a strong Danger Premonition.
In this respect, "Witch" have always had a strong spiritual intuition.
Almost simultaneously, Jenna blurted out, "It's bound to have an impact, I have a feeling, we can't stay here any longer!"
Lumian paused for a moment, then lowered his voice and quickly muttered to himself, "Termiboros, you didn't warn me because what's about to happen is what you want to see?"
As he spoke, Lumian used his eyes to make Franca, Jenna, Anthony, and Lugano quickly move closer and grab his arms, shoulders, and vests respectively.
The only one who lacked understanding was Ludwig.
Lumian looked at the little boy and said in a deep voice, "Do you want to be punished with homework? Come here now!"
Ludwig's face showed horror, and he instinctively turned back to his body, but the next second, he reluctantly turned his head to look out the window again.
He didn't know what he was waiting for; he just felt he should wait here for something very important.
"Hmm?" Lumian urged again.
Ludwig's expression shifted, but he ultimately couldn't resist the Godfather's authority and his fear of studying, homework, and exams. He toddled over to Lumian and grabbed the Godfather's Black Waistcoat.
Indeed, there wasn't enough tacit understanding yet, and the Ritual couldn't be considered complete... Lumian sighed inwardly, activating the Black Mark on his right shoulder.
He was going to "Teleportation" this large group of people to New Silver City, Teleportation the headquarters of the "The Fool" Church!
Lumian then saw layers of rich, varied colors and countless transparent, strange figures, as well as the seven clear, pure rays of light that remained high above his head.
He was about to Spirit World Traversal to the coordinates representing the New Silver City when his body suddenly sank, leaving this fantastical, mysterious, mad, and ethereal world behind.
Lumian found himself and the others back in the Wooden Hut in the Botanical Garden, back to the state when Ludwig had just grabbed his disguise.
Having had many experiences, his eyes narrowed, and he solemnly reminded Franca, Jenna, and their companions:
"The Person of the Loop!"
On the Primitive Island where Emperor Roselle's Last Mausoleum is located, in the area in front of the tomb, a thin white mist hangs in the air.
The three pieces of information that flew out from the point of light where the Destiny Waiter Heros was located landed in three different points of light.
One was the location of the "Society of the End of All Things," Higdon; the other seemed to be located in a Tunnel in Underground Trier, and the figure carrying the Carbide Lamp was Harrison, Resurrection Island Visitor dressed in a black Robe, whose appearance differed from that of the people of the Northern Continent Southern Continent.
Another point of light first pierced through the Gloom, then outlined a figure. This figure was in his fifties, with thick, slightly white blond Blond Hair, and clear, deep lake-blue Eyes.
He was a Men with an exceptionally neatly trimmed mustache and striking features; even in his old age, he could be described as handsome.
Vazan Sansong!
Vazan Sanson, the "Person of the Loop" of the "Sinners" organization!
Roche Louise Sanson, also known as Aurora's original father, and a follower of Fate, Vazan Sanson!
As soon as Vazan Sanson, dressed in a black suit, received the information containing the locations of Lumian, Ludwig, and others, he immediately disappeared into the darkness illuminated by the expanding light.
Higdon of the "Society of the End of All Things" also quickly left his room, no longer participating in this complex, real-time transaction that transcended physical distance.
The "Supervisor," Perle, showed no surprise and announced the progress of the transaction in that ethereal voice:
"Vazan Sanson of the ' Sinners ' organization obtained crucial intelligence on the retrieval of the Fate Angel, and the corresponding payment will be made by the great ' Circle of Fate '."
"Mr. Higdon of the ' Society of the End of All Things ' has begun his operation. His reward will be paid by Loki on ' April Fool's Day ' after he completes the retrieval of That One Angel from ' Primordial Hunger ' and provides some assistance to Vazan Sanson..."
As Perle's words spread and the names of those Honorific Name were chanted, the area around the White Fog gradually darkened and became unpredictable, with shadows trembling, as if a terrifying will was about to descend.
Normally, Perle shouldn't know or reveal information about the Great Ones, as that would have terrible and serious consequences. After all, she only gained new Gift and became a true "Whirlpool Weaver" through a significant sacrifice after persuading the "Queen of Mysteries" Bernadette, who had gray tendencies, based on previous events. She hadn't yet reached the Angel-Level.
However, she is currently under the protection of the Whirlpool Ritual and has just received a wisp of mist from the "Mist of Uncertainty," the Truth of her faith. Naturally, she is unaffected—her understanding of those Great Ones comes from that wisp of mist, and previously she had only contacted the corresponding Concealment organizations and underground Sect to reach relatively certain agreements.
At this moment, Bernadette decomposed herself into streams of information, which surged toward Perle's face in the Gray Fog in the form of a vast and complex torrent.
She hoped to influence the other party in this way, making it impossible for the subsequent transaction to proceed, but without disrupting the current Ritual.
Perle's face, formed of mist, suddenly expanded and disappeared from Bernadette's perception.
After the overwhelming torrent of information surged Past, it seemed to get lost in the white fog, unable to find the true location of the target.
Soon, the torrent of information broke free of the White Fog and reformed Bernadette's body, while Perle's face appeared in different places in the White Fog, sometimes laughing, sometimes cursing, sometimes feigning friendliness, and sometimes chattering incessantly.
These faces Aggregation inward, once again forming Perle's blurry face, sometimes Distortion and sometimes normal, Depths within the White Fog.
Perle continued in the "Word of Order": "Harrison from Resurrection Island has obtained Lumian Lee's location information and will, after the Whirlpool Ritual, travel to Fourth Epoch Trier through Special Mirror World. He will pay a special item from the ' Destiny ' Pathway as a reward."
"This is the item that Lady Heros, the Waiter of Destiny, desires..."
As Perle announced the new deal, a figure with only the upper body appeared behind "Queen of Mysteries" Bernadette; it was almost transparent and quite illusory.
The figure looked exactly like Bernadette, even their clothes were identical. She held a Paleness mask with holes for the eyes, shimmering with a metallic sheen, and quickly put it on her face.
"Pale Death"!
Bernadette possesses another "0" level Sealed Artifact, "Pale Death"!
She wanted to use this to control Perle.
Just then, Bernadette's vision suddenly blurred, and she felt that the surrounding environment and distance had become abnormally chaotic.
She was forced to change position, and a strangely familiar deep voice rang in her ears:
"Bernadette..."
Outside the "Black Emperor's " Mausoleum, the White Fog grew increasingly thick and Change.
Harrison retrieved an item from somewhere in the Underground Trier, within the point of light where he was located.
The object was a bead about the size of a thumb, multicolored, with a glass-like texture, exuding a peaceful aura.
Harrison then tossed the bead into the White Fog around him.
Under the watchful eye of "Supervisor" Perle, the bead passed through the light spot corresponding to Harrison, pierced through the dense White Fog, and flew into the light spot where Heros, the initiator of "Dreamseekers," was located.
That One beautiful woman who was weaving her Destiny caught the colorful, glassy beads with her only remaining right hand.
Suddenly, she saw a scene with her tightly closed eyes:
A bald man, dressed in a yellow robe and a strange cloak, sat cross-legged on the bed. Behind his head was a pure light, and the Depths of that light seemed to lead to the unknown, where many things were hidden.
Heros put down the bead, plucked a hair, and finished the last little thing she needed to do.
That was a blessing.
A blessing from Destiny!
"Whirlpool Plan will be successfully completed."
Heros's black hair, carrying this message, was woven into the previous threads.
With a whoosh, an invisible force ripped a large chunk of skin off the right side of Heros's face, revealing a bloody, still-writhing mass of flesh.
She was not yet Angel and could not weave such a profound Destiny normally. She could only rely on the Statues of the goddess to forcibly complete it. But with each piece she wove, she would suffer a serious injury. Her eyes went blind in the process, and her feet, legs, left arm, and fingers were also broken in the process.
Of course, as long as one doesn't die on the spot, one can trade with "Broker" for special medicines and receive corresponding treatment.
The "Supervisor" Perle, within the White Fog, turned his gaze to another point of light.
The scene corresponding to the point of light appears to be an Altar located inside Ancient Castle, with mutilated Corpse lying around Altar. Their flesh and bones have been used to make Paintbrush and Paint.
A man with long, flowing hair, Cavern eyes, and a crazed expression had already completed the preliminary preparations in the center of the Altar.
It was Evil Oil Painting that was just two strokes away from being finished.
This Oil Painting depicts an endless, Gloom Starry Sky Starry Sky, but on the left side there are concentric circles of Blood-Colored, resembling both a special Tunnel and the mouth of some kind of creature. On the right side, there are large amounts of bone powder shimmering with a silvery-white and blackish light, almost connecting to form a ring.
The voice of "the Supervisor," Perle, rang out:
"Mr. Sage, a believer in the Strings and the ' Fantasy Society,' has sacrificed a great many Gifted and Followers and is about to complete a great and outstanding painting!"
"Next, we will see the painting presented. Mr. Sage's reward will be given by the great ' Mist of Uncertainty ' himself at the end of the Whirlpool Ritual, which is also That One Great Ones he believes in wants to see."
