Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1188 It’s OK for You to Be a Woman

After bringing disasters to a "conqueror", a "divine evil", and a "bound god" successively, Angel's "disaster" potion has actually been digested. According to her summary, in this sequence of acting, as long as disasters are brought to others, it doesn't matter whether it is with good intentions or malice, and whether it is caused by oneself or others.

This is also the reason why most of her potions were digested during the world war. That war affected all countries, the north and south continents and the five seas, and was triggered by her killing of George III and then expanded.

"It has been digested. I think it's in the process of using 'Chaos Vortex' to hurt Sua and Tolzna at the same time..." Angel answered honestly, and then raised the corners of his mouth slightly. "Now I have a 'Conqueror' feature on hand. Maybe I can be promoted to the next sequence earlier than you?"

what?
Klein raised his eyebrows, straightened up involuntarily, and moved his hips as if he was sitting on pins and needles, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Seeing his strange expression, Angel laughed again and shook his head.
"Don't worry. I won't consider taking that path until I have no other options. Although it offers the opportunity to become a god, it contains countless traps. The Blood Emperor Tudor has contained all three copies of Sequence 1 characteristics, and it is very likely that he left a backup plan to revive him. The Conqueror of the Sauron family, Formonda, may have gone mad because of this.

"And my messenger, the black cat Wensa who serves Chick's 'Man in the Mirror', also said that Chick would like me to become a conqueror. Considering his relationship with Tudor and his attempt to instigate the death god Salinger to avenge Tudor, I suspect that something terrible will happen when the 'City of Disaster' and the 'Conqueror' are combined."

Thinking of Emperor Roselle's warning to the two of them, Klein nodded slightly, agreeing with this guess. He felt the tingling sensation in his buttocks ease a little, and asked:
"If you can't obtain the Beyonder characteristic of 'Doomsday' in a short period of time, are you going to switch to the other three paths?"

He was referring to the three paths of the "River of Eternal Darkness" that were not adjacent on the surface, but were actually closely connected to the two paths of the "City of Disaster", namely "Darkness", "Death", and "Dusk Giant".

According to what Angel knew about the old way of promotion, "Destruction of Natural Disasters, Root of Calamity", if the Goddess of Night was going to use the River of Everlasting Darkness to become a being above the Sequence, she could free up two copies of the Sequence 1 characteristics of each of the three paths. Even if She had not yet obtained the power of the Source, she could at least grant two copies of the Sequence 1 characteristics of "Death" and "Dusk Giant" to other angels.

When Angel was reporting on the "Shadow of the Goddess of Beauty", she received an oracle asking her to find the Pale Queen of the Spirit Cult who believed in the God of Death and obtain the Sequence 1 "Pale Emperor" trait in her hand, but did not specify how to deal with it.

Could that be a hint for me to jump to the "Death God" path? Angel had a guess in his heart, but he was worried that he would lose his greatest support, the "City of Disaster".

After all, after becoming the "Pale Emperor", she will no longer belong to the potion path represented by this source substance. It is very likely that she will no longer be able to control the City of Disaster, just like Roselle who lost contact with the Source Castle after becoming a universal.

Or maybe the goddess wants me to be like the half-crazy but stronger "God of Death" Salinger, and to accommodate the powers of non-adjacent paths at the same time?
After much thought, she felt that the only thing she could do was to obtain the "Pale Emperor" trait of Sequence 1 first. As for whether to move on to the Conqueror Path or jump to the Death Path, it depended on the "degree of urgency".

According to the prophecy, the end of the world will not come for another 17 years. If this is the case, Angel can wait for the goddess to accept the uniqueness of the adjacent paths, and wait for Klein to completely master the power of Sefirah Castle and the "Fool" path, and then consider cooperating with the gods as a condition to unite with them to solve the problem of Chick, the "original witch" who is unwilling to fill the barrier and even likes to make trouble, so that he can take the position.

But if the genie's advice is true, then the end of the world is likely to come early, and Angel may have no choice but to take the risk and choose "Conqueror".

After listening to Angel's inner concerns, Klein also fell into deep thought.

From his point of view, he certainly does not want Angel to become a "conqueror". This is not only because of his own selfishness, but also because the warnings from Roselle and Vinsa point to the traps hidden in this path.

If he is not careful, Angel might turn into a disaster giant wandering in madness, or become perverse like the original witch and not tolerated by the gods.

But from the perspective of the Earth, all gods hope to see the emergence of a "Red Priest" who can compete with the "Original Witch" as soon as possible. If this Red Priest has already mastered the power of the "City of Disaster" and has the foundation to become an "Old One", it would be a pleasant surprise.

Angel must have understood the difference. She had not decided to switch to the Red Priest path because she was considering me... Klein pursed his lips, realizing that only if he completed the ritual as soon as possible to become a Mystic Servant, and then went a step further and became a true Fool, could he help Angel in this regard.

Thinking of this, he became full of energy again, and he wished he could lie back on the bed right now, control the spiritual thread, and integrate his Yharnam City into the real world faster.

But what Angel said while holding back his laughter made him freeze in his tracks:
"There is another way. I can be promoted to 'Conqueror', and then you can become... um, a woman, isn't that right?"

what?
Klein opened his mouth for the second time and uttered a silent question.

It's not that he thinks he can't do it. After becoming an angel, Klein, whose body is completely made up of "spiritual worms", can transform into a creature of any size, gender, and even race, instead of just being superficial like the "Faceless Man" period. Not to mention that during this period of time, he has been controlling the behavior of the residents in the Secret Doll Town, which has long given him the experience of different identities. He no longer puts on airs and can naturally blend into the roles of a coachman, a female innkeeper, a vulgar worker, and an old novelist. Being a "woman" for a period of time is no problem.

But if Angel becomes a man and I become a woman, then... thinking of this, Klein felt a little uneasy again. It was not until he noticed that Angel's mouth was slightly raised, with a smile from the bottom of his heart, that he realized that he was just joking and heaved a sigh of relief.

"However, considering that doing this will easily cause you to have trouble with your identity recognition, which will in turn lead to the instability of your 'anchor', I'd better let you continue to be a man." Angel poked Klein's waist as he kept squirming on the bed, causing him to suddenly stop, as if he was frozen. "If you hope to help me, complete the ritual here as soon as possible."

"I will."

Klein nodded solemnly, his heart filled with a sense of mission and gratitude for having preserved his male dignity.

If Angel really asked me to do that, I would probably agree in the end... It is the best solution both publicly and privately. The only difficulty is my own psychological barrier... He thought with some fear, lay back on the bed, and connected the line of the spirit that was "transmitted" through Sefirah Castle.

Looking at Klein who had his eyes closed and was in a state of concentration, Angel leaned over and kissed him lightly on the cheek, then whispered:

"Sleep peacefully. This is an independent mirror world. I can sense its changes no matter where I am."

"Wouldn't that be like me sleeping in your arms?"

Klein's limbs had become stiff again, and most of his thinking ability was used to manipulate the spirit thread, but he still did not forget to continue the previous sentence.

"You can also sleep in the arms of Irene, Angelica, or Christine..."

Angel chuckled, turned around and left the stone chamber in the mirror world.

----

After leaving Yharnam, Angel went straight back to the nearby "City of Dreams" Patis and came to his own "Church of St. Angelica".

Her original plan was to go to Trier in Intis while the whereabouts of the "Pale Queen" were still unknown. There were many clues she had, such as "Trier in the Fourth Epoch", those special people in the mirror, the Emperor Roselle in the mirror, the members of the Tamara family who believed in the "Uncertain Mist", and even the Chick in the mirror who might help fight the "Original Witch".

Compared to Backlund, Trier is really "full of talents"... She muttered, and stepped into the church's large prayer hall. She was satisfied to find that the hall where the mass was being held was full of believers. Everyone was chanting the name of Saint Angelica, praying for her to quell disasters, cure diseases, and protect this prosperous city.

Moving his eyes forward, Angel noticed that the person presiding over the mass was not Archbishop Triss, but another familiar face.

"Lieutenant General of Disease" Tracy was wearing a bishop's robe that was most likely left by Triss. She held a heavy holy book in her hand and narrated the latest deeds of Saint Angelica in a soft voice.

Her originally feminine appearance no longer had any trace of masculinity. Her long, straight eyebrows had a wonderful arc, and her drooping blue eyes and slightly trembling eyelashes were fascinating. Even when she was preaching with a serious face, she naturally exuded a temperament that made people want to get close to her.

A week ago, she had just been promoted to the Witch of Despair and received a hint from her mother that the witch who protected Elaine was busy dealing with the "Rose School" in the southern continent. She quickly organized her old subordinates and went to the depths of the Violent Sea alone to intercept Elaine's "Redhead Girl", trying to take this opportunity to win back her heart.

What she didn't expect was that Elaine also became a demigod, and not the "Iron-Blooded Knight" of the Hunter Path, but the same "desperate" as her!
Facing Elaine, who possessed the extraordinary ability of "Reaper" and had more combat experience and more aggressive attacks, Tracy couldn't even escape.

Angel, who learned about this from prayer, simply let Elaine live and detained Tracy in the church of Patis, and no longer paid attention to the emotional entanglement between the two witches. Unexpectedly, in order to escape the position of acting bishop, Elaine turned this unruly pirate into a clergyman who could stand at ease by the altar and preach.

Haha, love... Angel's heart moved and he walked up to her with a smile on his face.

She knew that there must be some deeper reason why Tracy was "tricked" into her hands by the White Saint, so she planned to talk to her in detail before going to Trier.
