Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1119: Banquet of Betrayal
In Angel's eyes, Klein, whose expression was somewhat gloomy because he was standing against the light, still had a smile that belonged to his "Joker" personality, but his face had become stiff.

All the doubts in his heart, plus what Klein's "shadow" had said before, made Angel have a guess in his heart, and Klein's reaction deepened this suspicion.

But at this time, the brass eyes were still staring at everyone, and the "Dark Angel" Sasriel controlled many powers including the "audience" channel, and it was possible that he was spying on everyone's mind. Angel had to suppress his doubts and turned to look at the eyes behind the shadow curtain closest to him and asked:
"That ancient sun god, you, and the true creator are essentially the same existence?"

According to Amon, the descendant of the ancient sun god, these three are his father, his father's separated negative personality, and the corrupted part that took away his father's extraordinary characteristics. Angel asked this question precisely to see how Sasriel viewed the history that was deliberately hidden by all the gods, and how he viewed the "Feast of Betrayal".

The brass eyes that were being stared at by her shook, and the voice that came from nowhere spoke:

"Yes and no."

What kind of statement is this... Angel muttered and asked:

"Who do you think you are, then?"

"You can call me, 'The Creator of Everything', the All-Knowing and All-Powerful God, or... 'God'."

At this moment, Angel's heart almost stopped beating.

She had just heard the last name from her "man in the mirror" not long ago, and it not only meant the fictional existence of the old times, but also represented one of the only three "pillars" in this world, the "God" who had fallen with the "Lord of Mysteries".

No, maybe it was just some kind of bad taste of the researcher who came out of Chernobyl, not to mention that the many feats He did in the Second Era did have a bit of a complex of saving the world... Angel calmed his emotions and continued to ask:
"So, you are the 'Creator' that the City of Silver calls you? Then why did you establish the 'Redemption Rose' to win over the gods and the Angel King, to betray me, and to assassinate me?"

As soon as this question was asked, the expressions of the three Silver City saints behind Angel wavered, and even the "Chief"'s eyes revealed sadness and confusion.

Even though they found clues in various ruins and records in dusty books, all the residents of Silver City always had a glimmer of hope in their hearts. But now, the Creator they believed in would never come back.

The brass eyes that were scattered everywhere blinked, and after a moment of silence, they replied in a low and ethereal voice:
“I had to do it.

"The 'Origin' has awakened within me."

Following His answer, the shadows in the entire hall seemed to grow thicker again. A gloomy and cold atmosphere gradually spread, and everyone felt a chill down their spine.

Original... Angel's first reaction was the "Original Witch", but then he remembered that Chick did not become a god until the Fourth Epoch. At that time, the "Land Forsaken by God" had been formed, and the Dark Angel had been sleeping in the Giant King's Court for hundreds of years, so it was impossible for him to have any intersection with the other party.

At this time, Klein behind her took a few steps forward and carefully stopped a little further away from Angel's "fallen" shadow. He looked up at Sasriel who was sleeping with his chin in his hand, rather than at the eyes around him, and asked:
"'Prime' is the one who created the world and became everything?"

He was referring to the "original creator" mentioned in all myths and legends and church scriptures. Even the one who woke up in the Second Era and called himself "the Sun God" was considered to be the creator who had awakened again, the supreme being who had regained power after sleeping for many years.

Of course, there is more than one person who claims this. For example, the Witch Sect believes that the "Original Witch" is the true successor of the Creator and the "First One" born from His body; believers of the true Creator also preach that their Lord is the only one who inherited the core of the Original Creator... But except for the believers of the Ancient Sun God, no one has ever dared to proclaim that their God is the Original Creator himself.

And now, the "Dark Angel", the negative personality of the ancient sun god, actually said that the Creator has awakened in his body?

Could it be that He called Himself "God" and performed the act of salvation, but instead caused one of the fallen pillars, representing the split personality of the original Creator, to awaken in His body? Could this be considered a fake play becoming a real one, a prophecy coming true... Angel's mind popped up a few idioms he learned from Klein. Seeing that the brass eyes seemed to be silent as an answer, he continued to ask:

"Is the awakening of 'Origin' related to your coming out of the 'Sea of ​​Chaos'? Is it because you came into contact with the source material left after the Creator split?"

"Not only that, the higher the sequence, the closer it is to the origin, and the greater the possibility of Him awakening in your body."

So, contact with the "Source Essence" will cause the "Origin" to awaken, and the same is true for promotion to a high sequence? Then it won't be a problem for me to frequently travel back and forth to the "City of Disaster"... No, the source essence is still in the Western Continent, and the situation should be controllable, but the "Source Castle"... Angel subconsciously looked at Klein and found that he was bowing his head in thought.

The brass eyes also turned, looking at Colin, Lovia and Derrick, and continued:

"Even if the sequence is not high, even if you just understand these contents, the result will be the same."

Colin and Derrick were being stared at by the eyes behind the curtain. Lovia, who often chanted the name of "True Creator", felt a chill all over her body. She lowered her head, feeling something extra inside her body, and heard rustling mutterings in her ears.

Suddenly, they felt a burning sensation deep in their hearts, and they had a little more strength to resist losing control, a little more courage to look directly into the brass eyes, and they all raised their heads.

Angel was looking back at them, passing the courage of the "War Bishop" to these team members through the "connection".

In order to avoid alerting the Dark Angel, she had not directly included Klein, Colin and others into her team, lest this declaration of war anger the Angel King. But now, sensing that the three people from Silver City were about to lose control because of Sasriel's words, she could only share her courage with them and let everyone unite as a whole to fight against the crazy invasion.

Fortunately, Sasriel on the throne did not wake up because of such provocation, and those brass eyes also withdrew their gaze, as if they were not deliberately provoking everyone's emotions just now, but were just explaining the meaning of "original".

Seeing that the situation was under control, Klein quietly put down his hand that was holding up the "Star Staff" and looked up at the "Dark Angel" with black hair, black wings and black robes. He asked carefully, "So, in order to prevent the "Original" from waking up, you formed the "Redemption Rose" and planned to assassinate me, then revive and get rid of the Original, and regain control of the "Chaos Sea" and the corresponding extraordinary path?"

He could think of this because Roselle's plan to become a god by crossing non-adjacent paths included this.

The brass eyes moved as if nodding, and replied with a hint of unknown emotion:
"That's right... I discovered this hidden danger shortly after I came out of the 'Chaos Sea', so I split off the Beyonder characteristics of the 'Hanged Man' pathway, and used the authority of 'Fallen' to create another self with my negative personality, thereby isolating myself from pollution and indirectly controlling the 'Chaos Sea'... But in the end, the Origin still awakened in my body."

The "Dark Angel" who had been sleeping for a thousand years opened up and slowly expounded on his thoughts as if lost in reminiscence.

"After realizing that splitting my personality alone would not work, I gathered my angel kings, Ouroleus, Medici, Leodro, Oseicus, Herabergen, and Amanesis. I invited the gods and other angel kings who obeyed me to form the 'Redemption Rose'."

This includes almost all Sequence 1 and Sequence 0 that are still alive in the Third Era... Angel felt the weight of history in this string of names, but suddenly discovered that the brothers Adam and Amon were not included.

Do they have other purposes? Adam is the "audience" path, one of the five paths controlled by the Chaos Sea, and he even accommodated uniqueness early on. Could it be that his existence itself is the Sun God's effort to prevent the "Original" from waking up, and is it the "extra" Beyonder characteristic that he has discharged? But what about Amon? He is the "thief" path... Like the ancient gods, the Sun God also accidentally accommodated the characteristics and uniqueness of the adjacent paths that did not belong to him?
Angel had a thousand thoughts in his mind, but he didn't dare interrupt the Dark Angel's narration which was full of information. He could only bury his doubts in his heart and continue listening.

The brass eyes flickered, lost in his own emotions, and his speech speed gradually increased:

"After preparing everything, I returned to my body, used more humanity to strengthen my consciousness, fought against the original, and created an opportunity for the Redemption Rose. The angel kings led by Amanesis killed me.

“I should have been resurrected in the Giant King’s Court, and re-accommodated the extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness in the correct order I arranged, but Leodro, Osekus, and Herabergen betrayed me and devoured my body and the corresponding characteristics. I could only use the extreme emotions before my fall to be reborn in the corpse and take away the authority of ‘Fall’ and the extraordinary characteristics of ‘The Hanged Man’…”

This was the painting of "The Banquet of Betrayal" that he had seen in the basement of the temple on the nameless island. It was an imaginary island created by Adam. He had thought that it contained slander against the righteous gods, but it turned out to be quite realistic... Angel thought of the three gods sharing the remains of the sun god, and the horrifying scene of a black baby emerging from the corpse. He exchanged a glance with Klein and saw the same surprise in each other's eyes.

Seeing that Brass Eyes stopped talking, Angel couldn't help but ask the question in his mind:

"The three angel kings have all betrayed their Lord God. Does this mean..."

Your popularity with people, no, your popularity with God is a little poor - Angel didn't say the second half of the sentence, but the confusion on his expression said it all.

She even suspected that if Adam joined the "Redemption Rose", he would also eat his father and become a Sequence 0 "Dreamer" on the spot, thus saving himself two thousand years of detour.

This sentence seemed to have touched the will of the Dark Angel. Those brass eyes closed tightly, as if in extreme pain. The ethereal voice was first puzzled, and then angry:
"No, some of them just went with the flow, some followed helplessly... But, there was one who had already made plans!

"Pure White! Osekus!"

As the roar sounded, the black wings covering most of Sasriel's body continued to rise and fall, revealing a hint of grayish white.

When Angel and Klein were shocked that the initiator of the "Betrayal Banquet" was actually the pure white angel, the "Eternal Blazing Sun", their eyes were involuntarily attracted to him.

It was a stone slab with a mottled surface and irregular outlines. It was engraved with a series of words that did not belong to any language, but seemed to be the source of all languages. As soon as Angel's eyes fell on it, the specific content naturally emerged in his mind:

"Sequence 0, 'Witch'... Ritual: Go deep underground to find the 'Chaos Sea', endure a certain degree of contamination while maintaining one's identity, without falling or becoming alienated..."

Is this... the "blasphemous slate" that Amon mentioned? The first blasphemous slate born from the Chaos Sea?
Just as Angel realized something, the brass eyes on the floor and stone pillars around him quietly closed, and the angry voice stopped talking, plunging the hall into an eerie silence.

Klein, who also glanced at the blasphemous slate with a solemn expression, subconsciously raised his head with her and looked at Sasriel, who was sleeping with his chin in his hand on the high throne.

The angel king just happened to open his eyes.

A gaze containing the thought of "degradation" instantly swept across everyone in the hall, and finally locked onto the "Black Knight" Lovia Tiffany, meeting her confused light gray eyes.

bang——

Her body swelled up instantly, a shadow enveloped her, and she let out a cry of pain.

The same pain also swept through the other four people, making them suffer from crazy thoughts and physical collapse together.

This is an angelic level "connection", which allows all team members to bear damage together and turn fatal injuries into invisible. The "corruption" that is difficult to resist for one person can be resisted by five people together, leaving only a little pain and discomfort to the spirit.

At some point, an iron-black flagpole appeared in Angel's hand, with a blood-stained flag fluttering on the top of the tall flagpole.

That is the sealed object "0-01", the "Blood Flag of Salinger"!
