Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1129: Doomsday is Coming (Two in One)

Lilith? The ancestor of the blood race?

Most people at the bronze table had heard of this name, but they had only heard of it. Like the ancient gods of the Second Age such as "Fregela" and "Olmir", they were just fragments in their memories.

But I didn't expect that the name mentioned by Mr. "World" was actually related to the "Mother Earth Goddess", one of the seven gods.

Among them, Emlyn the Moon had the most intense reaction. He sat up straight, his bright red eyes wide open as round as the crimson moon. His mind was in a mess, and he instinctively retorted:
"How is it possible that the First Ancestor would respond to us? He can't be..."

Halfway through his speech, he froze.

Yes, according to the historical records of the "God-forsaken Land" Silver City, the ancient goddess Lilith had fallen in the melee among the gods in the Second Era, but the blood clan can still communicate with her intermittently. Doesn't this prove that the ancestor is still delivering oracles in some way?

Seeing his dull expression, the other Tarot Club members also showed more or less shocked expressions. Klein, who was sitting in the Fool's high-back chair, felt a little proud.

After being promoted to Sequence 2, he successfully left the God-Forsaken Land and returned to Backlund. He immediately summoned Arrodes, who was still stored in the basement of Saint Hillran Church, and learned from it a lot of information that he had missed after entering the God-Forsaken Land.

This includes the true identity of the "Mother Earth Goddess".

According to the mirror that had been flattering Klein in an attempt to steal it from the Church of Steam, at the critical moment of the war between gods, a painful and angry voice came from the "Deep Dark Heaven" of the Goddess of Night deep in the astral realm, shouting the name of the ancestor of the blood race.

There is no doubt that it was the roar of the betrayed "God of War".

Klein did not tell Angel about this in advance. On the one hand, the true identity of the Earth Mother Goddess was crucial but not urgent. On the other hand, he also wanted to see Angel's surprised and confused expression like the other Tarot Club members.

Looking at Angel's thoughtful face hidden behind the gray fog, which only he could see clearly, his little wish was finally satisfied.

This is a kind of humane performance, which will help me fight against the spiritual imprint of the original Creator within the Beyonder characteristics... Klein muttered in his heart, and did not try to suppress this playful mentality. Instead, he continued using the tone of "the world":

"Think about it carefully. The Church of the Earth likes to recruit vampires as believers, and even locks them up to force them to preach. 'Earth' and 'Moon' are two adjacent paths that can jump to each other. In the Second Age, the ancient god Lilith fell because of the betrayal of the Giant King, but He still occasionally responds to the prayers of the vampires until now."

With this reminder, everyone became thoughtful and no longer felt surprised that the ancestor of the blood clan became the Mother Goddess of the Earth.

Only Angel continued to frown, suspecting that Klein had gotten the answer from Arrodes and then deduced these reasons.

He actually hid it from me. I wanted to see him make a fool of himself. If I had rushed to help cover it up, I would have become a laughing stock... She put her fist on her legs, and her fist was blocked by the table.

Audrey, who was sitting next to Angel and thinking about Mr. World's hints, noticed these body movements out of the corner of her eye and interpreted some kind of "anger" emotion, but it seemed unlikely.

She simply couldn't imagine what Miss Queen looked like when she was angry.

After a brief silence, Cattleya, the Hermit, spoke first and concluded:
"Because of the betrayal by the Giant King, Lilith, with the help of the Goddess of Night and the Ancient Sun God who had not yet taken back all the power, killed Omybella, who was the Giant Queen at the time, stole her destiny and extraordinary characteristics, and became the 'Harvest Goddess'.

"After that, he was promoted to Sequence 0 through the Path of the Earth. He continued to hide from all gods and angel kings with the help of the Goddess of Night, and joined the Rose of Redemption... He became one of the true gods in the Fourth Era until now.

"His goal was first to avenge the Giant King. After his death, he turned to join forces with the Goddess of Night at a critical moment and severely damaged the 'God of War'?"

In fact, there are still some problems. For example, Omibella actually died in an assassination attempt by the City of Silver, and the reason why the "Mother Goddess of the Earth" Lilith betrayed the God of War might not be hatred... Klein had these thoughts in his mind, but he did not refute them. Instead, he nodded and said:

"Absolutely."

At the same time, "Star" Leonard also remembered something and spoke hesitantly:

"After the war is over, the Church of Evernight will no longer promote the title of 'Lord of Crimson' and will also reduce the number of times the symbol of 'Red Moon' appears in masses and sacrifices."

As a newly promoted senior deacon, he was able to read the relevant documents.

"This means that the Goddess of Night has lost her corresponding authority... No, She has returned the authority to Lilith, who was once the ancient god of the Moon, in exchange for the help of this 'Mother Goddess of the Earth'!"

The "Hermit" has the richest knowledge of occult science and, because he often listens to the knowledge imparted by the "Hidden Sages", knows a lot of forbidden knowledge and can quickly draw conclusions.

It was truly a horrific conspiracy that had lasted for thousands of years. The mother of the "God of War" had long since died in the God-forsaken Land, but He had never known about it. He even regarded the Blood Clan ancestor who was full of hatred for Him as his mother, and took Him to attack the other side's savior's kingdom of God, but was instead besieged by two gods. It was not unfair that He lost this war of gods... Everyone in the Tarot Club mourned for the god who "carelessly lost his mother", and then they all looked at "The Moon" Emlyn.

This vampire once complained that he had accidentally become a believer of the Mother Earth, and wanted to seek help at the Tarot Club to get rid of the involuntary urge to go to the church to pray and help with the cleaning. Unfortunately, he failed to do so, and was even arrested and imprisoned in the Chanis Gate together with Father Utravsky because he was on duty at the Mother Earth Church in Backlund.

After many twists and turns, he finally returned to the side of the ancestor of the blood clan, and his faith could be said to be firm.

Being stared at by everyone, Emlyn the Moon not only did not feel ashamed, but instead he puffed out his chest with pride.

He no longer felt ashamed of going to the Harvest Church to pray, worship and clean all day. Instead, he believed that this was a test from the ancestor Lilith and a necessary step for him to become the savior of the vampire race.

Other vampires have no chance to experience this... He muttered, and suddenly realized that since the authority of the "Red Moon" belongs to the Mother Earth, perhaps the prayers of the vampires will be answered soon, and Lilith's first oracle must be:

Join the Church of Mother Earth!

He, who had already done so, was now responsible for guiding these tribesmen, including many vampires who had previously mocked his belief in the Mother Earth.

Thinking of this, his chest straightened even more.

Looking at Emlyn who was holding his head high like a proud rooster, Angel chuckled, looked around, and said:
"There is another matter that is also closely related to this war of gods..."

After everyone's attention was drawn, she continued:

"After the God War, I went to the battlefield on the outskirts of Backlund where Loen and the coalition of the three nations were confronting each other. There was a camp there that was damaged by a meteorite, and there was divine power belonging to the 'Warrior', or the 'Twilight Giant'.

"Given that no angels from the Church of the God of War died in Backlund, and that the same meteorite struck almost every piece of land in the northern continent, creating a number of abnormal areas filled with aging forces, as well as high-level mutant creatures, I think the 'God of War' is likely to have fallen after this war of gods."

Her view is based on speculation, but is supported by a large amount of evidence. Moreover, after finding out the true identity of the "Mother Earth Goddess", she still believes that the "God of War" was able to escape unscathed from the siege of the two gods. This is simply disrespectful to the "Goddess of Night" who has been planning a conspiracy for thousands of years.

The other members of the Tarot Club, except Leonard who had already obtained a definite conclusion from Pales, were all somewhat stunned and frightened.

A true god, just fell like this?
No wonder the "Silver Knight" fled in panic that day. As a Sequence 3 Saint, he should be able to sense that something is wrong with the deity he believes in. The collapse of this group of high-end forces will lead to the rout of the entire army... Audrey pondered and no longer doubted Angel's speculation. She asked:
"What about the Church of the God of War? What will happen to them?"

That was a church that dominated an empire and had a large number of believers. Whether it was forced conversion or brutal suppression, it could cause changes in the war situation, which was already clear.

She looked at the Queen beside her, but what she heard was the low and hoarse voice of the World:
"The Church of Darkness should adopt a conciliatory policy, accepting most of the Beyonders who are willing to surrender, and only clearing out the diehards who are devout in their faith, while retaining the faith of the 'God of War' for the ordinary people of the Feysac Empire."

"But doesn't this mean that nothing has changed?" Fors straightened up and asked in confusion.

"Because nothing should be changed," Klein smiled and looked at Fors, causing the latter to shrink his neck subconsciously. "After the Goddess of Night obtains the authority of the God of War, it will take some time to master them. In addition, Night, the Church of Storms, and the Kingdom of Loen all suffered heavy losses in this war. It is difficult for them to deal with the increasing number of supernatural events as the doomsday approaches. The original system of the Church of the God of War can serve as a good supplement."

Doomsday... Not only Fors, but also Emlyn, Alger and others frowned.

They were not unfamiliar with this term, or had seen prophecies about the end of the world through various channels. However, no matter in publicly published books or in the classics of the church, the prophecies mentioned were vague, not to mention the specific time, even the forms of presentation were bizarre, and almost no one was willing to believe it. Only the "Hermit" was promoted to "Mystic" by using the blood of the Fate Serpent, and Sequence 3 was the "Master of Prophecy". He had dreamed of many scenes of the end of the world and had some guesses about it.

Audrey had previously cooperated with the "world" to save a demigod of the Church of Knowledge who was on the verge of losing control. From him, she learned about the "end of the world in 1368" and asked thoughtfully:
"Is it the doomsday that will happen in a dozen years?"

"Yes, by that time, everyone may be destroyed, including the gods."

Klein nodded firmly, to prevent the members, who looked half-confused and half-surprised, from taking his words as a joke.

"But why did the end of the world come so suddenly? There is no sign of it..."

"Judgment," Hugh asked hesitantly.

She had just come of age, and so did her good friend Fors. Even after experiencing the war, her beautiful expectations for her future life had not changed. She had never thought that this kind of life could only last for more than a decade and would come to an abrupt end when she was in her prime.

"How come there are no signs?" The tone of "World" was as cold as ever. "Why did the gods start a war? Why did the hidden angel kings appear one after another? Why was the king of Loen so eager to become a god?"

Seeing that everyone was shocked by his question and fell into deep thought, Klein added with satisfaction:
"You don't know the specific reasons for now. Just knowing it will lead to pollution. Only by becoming an angel can you resist it."

Information that only an angel can know... Hey, I always feel like I've forgotten something... Audrey was confused at first, and then surprised, because Mr. World's words contained a fact:
He who knows these things has become an angel.

Other members also reacted, their eyes first focused on "The World" at the end of the long table, and then turned to Angel, wanting to see the reaction of the first member of the Tarot Club to become an angel.

"He's right."

Angel nodded slightly and replied softly.

This was equivalent to admitting... Alger felt his heart twitch. He passed the test of the Church of the Storm at the end of the war, received help in the ceremony, and officially became the "High Priest of Disaster". After the "Sea King" Yan Cotman and other high-level officials of the Rorsted Islands came back to help Backlund, he became the cardinal of the diocese. Before he had time to find an opportunity to announce it at the Tarot Club, he found that the "world" that was previously at Sequence 5 like him had become an angel.

It would be fine if the "Queen" was promoted at a terrifying speed, but how come even he... Alger's gaze returned to Klein again, with complicated emotions in his eyes.

And the same goes for the other members.

Haha, there are times when everyone is staring at you. It’s no wonder I deliberately brought the topic to you... Angel let out a breath of anger and snorted in his heart.

But she soon discovered that Klein faced all the gazes calmly, motionless as if he were a secret doll. This was completely different from her own subconscious reaction of avoiding others' gazes.

No, he was originally a secret puppet, so of course he wasn't afraid of being watched. The real Klein was sitting in The Fool's seat... She glanced at The Fool and realized that as long as she was above this gray fog, she would not be able to fight The Fool Klein at all. Unless she slammed the table and shouted "The Fool is the World" to make him socially dead, everything she did would be in vain.

Humph, just give him some face outside... Angel muttered, feeling even angrier.

Being stared at by her, Klein, who was hiding in the gray fog, finally couldn't sit still anymore. He moved his body quietly and tapped the table with his knuckles a few times to attract everyone's attention. Then he spoke:

"After the incident in the God-Forsaken Land, my condition has recovered a lot. You can exchange some high-level things from me. This will also help you deal with the coming of the 'Doomsday'."

The matter of the God-Forsaken Land… As expected, The World and the Queen went to that continent this time because of His mission… And even Mr. Fool acknowledged the existence of the end of the world… The members present were first happy that the god had recovered, but then they were immersed in the threat of the coming of the end of the world.

“Dear Mr. Fool, what can we exchange from you?”

Angel held back his smile and took over the conversation at the right time to avoid a dull silence due to no one daring to ask questions.

Tsk, I always feel like she's being sarcastic... Klein's face was tense, but he added with a smile:
"High-sequence formula, rare Beyonder characteristics, and... the identity, status, and strength of 'Sea God', and the Beyonder characteristics of 'Elder of Dirty Words'."

The god of the sea... Kalvetuwa, whose status and faith were given to Mr. Fool after his death?

The Hanged Man's head buzzed and he almost stood up from the high-back chair.

This is simply a special "reward" for me! Others are either not on this path, or even if they get the status of "Sea God", it is difficult for them to control the Rorsted Islands, but I am different. On the surface, I am the cardinal of the Rorsted Islands. If I become the "Sea God" in secret, then I will be the real Sea King... Alger's inner voice roared, but the next second he realized that these were not only available through the "Storm" path, but also through the adjacent "Audience" and "Sun" paths.

He subconsciously glanced at the "Sun" beside him and the "Justice" opposite him, and asked cautiously:
“Dear Mr. Fool, what do I need to do in exchange for these things?”

"I issue missions, pray frequently and make sincere wishes."

Klein, who had been waiting for someone to ask a question, answered.

It doesn’t sound difficult, and it’s about the same as before… Alger felt relieved, and became more and more convinced that this was an opportunity that belonged to him alone. In the Church of Storms, it was already extremely difficult for a Beyonder like him with elven blood to become a demigod, and it was almost impossible to go any further.

Seeing that he was silent with an excited expression, Audrey, the Justice, also asked in confusion:

"May I ask which path the 'Filthy Elder' belongs to?"

She instinctively thought that the name of the potion belonged to the "demon" path, but she was not sure.

"The Hanged Man Path, or Sequence 2 of the Mysterious Prayer Man."

It was the path controlled by the evil god, the "True Creator"... But why did Mr. Fool call it the "Hanged Man"? Audrey glanced at the "Hanged Man" of the Tarot Club and felt a little curious about the vigilant look cast by this founding member. She then remembered that her "audience" was adjacent to the other party's "Storm" path and might compete with him for the power of the "God of the Sea".

She tilted her head, imitating the movements of the "Queen" beside her, trying to dispel Alger's doubts, but then she remembered that the "Audience" was not only adjacent to the "Storm", but also adjacent to the "Hanged Man" path.

This means that if she cannot find the Sequence 3 formula and materials for her own path after being promoted to Sequence 2, she can jump to an adjacent path and become the "Filthy Speaker Elder"!

Thinking of this, even with her demigod-like self-control, she couldn't help but get a little excited.

After witnessing the chaos in Backlund during the war, her own inability to do anything about the situation, and the anxiety she felt when she heard about the coming of "Doomsday", Audrey was no longer satisfied with her own strength.

And now, there is an extraordinary characteristic of an angel in front of him. As long as he completes Mr. Fool's task step by step, he will have a chance to get it!

Even the members who were not adjacent to the "Hanged Man" path began to wonder what other high-level things Mr. Fool had in his hands and whether they had a chance to obtain them.

Seeing that everyone's eyes had become heated, Klein smiled with satisfaction after achieving his goal of motivating them.

In the next ten minutes of communication, all members were no longer silent as before, but exchanged information with each other in high spirits, making the Tarot Club, which had not traded with each other for a while and had become a little dull, lively again.

If this continues, the Tarot Club will soon become a mutual aid organization where you and I are in each other, with a tighter structure rather than the previous "trade fair" form... Angel watched their communication, feeling quite a sense of ownership.

Until a series of deep red lights flashed by, and the palace in the gray fog became deserted again.

Only The Fool and The Queen are left.

PS: Two-in-one, it should be gone at night...
