Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1197 Dual Path True God?

"I will lock you up with Him if I get a chance. Maybe this will help you remember your two thousand years of life as an evil spirit."

Angel shot back bluntly.

Medici's handsome but somewhat hideous face froze instantly. He pursed his lips, causing the wounds on both sides to deform slightly. Angel then noticed that the mouths of "Sauron" and "Einhorn" were not real, openable cracks like before, but just faint scars.

"You got a body?"

she asked doubtfully.

As early as in the battle for the "Blood Flag of Salinger" in Morola, when Medici provided some help to Gusin, Angel guessed that the Angel King of the Fourth Epoch had now recovered a certain strength. But it was not until they actually met at this time that he confirmed that the other party used a method similar to Glade Soran to re-accommodate a part of the characteristics of the "Weather Warlock" and obtained a real body with the help of some kind of sacrifice.

As expected, Medici snorted coldly and said in a teasing tone:

"It's not that I have to kneel down at your feet like that sissy Soran to get charity."

That should be the "Weather Warlock" that the Augustus royal family promised to the three-in-one evil spirits, but failed to fulfill due to the failed conspiracy... It turned out that it was Medici who went deep into the mausoleum when the evil spirits split up. I thought it would be Einhorn... Angel nodded as if he understood something, and asked back:
"Since you have a new body, why do you still have traces of sharing the body with those two?"

Medici's cheeks twitched subconsciously, causing the wounds on both sides to twist continuously in the shadows cast by the gas lamp above, as if he was about to speak.

"I originally thought that they would soon be dead and only remain as a memorial, but I didn't expect that they are all living well. Ha, I will dig out these two pieces of meat tomorrow." He sneered and pointed to a cafe next to the memorial hall. "Would you like to go and have a seat?"

Angel nodded slightly, followed the angel, who was obviously more human after being resurrected, into the cafe and sat down at a seat with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the street.

One of the two angels was of outstanding height and had eye-catching red hair, while the other one could not hide her witch temperament even with disguise, which attracted the attention of the guests in the cafe. Angel frowned, wondering why Medici wanted to discuss important matters in such a place.

The latter, unaware of being the focus of attention, ordered two cups of coffee, then, in Angel's surprised expression, took out a red apple from his pocket and took a bite.

“What?” His lips, dripping with juice, moved. “Do you want to have a bite? The bright red color helps increase appetite.”

I just feel that the way you hunters maintain your humanity is very strange. Perhaps you can communicate with the one from the Soran family... Well, according to Medici, the evil spirit Einhorn is probably doing well. Maybe with the help of his family, he has gained a physical body and returned to the status of an angel. There is even hope that he can possess the "conqueror" trait... Angel shook his head, picked up the coffee and took a sip, only to find that the retribution for harming Viev earlier had come - there was no sugar in this cup.

Reluctantly swallowing the bitter pill, she used the glass window beside her to create a mirror illusion of herself and Medici drinking coffee silently, blocking the sight of others, and then asked:
"Why did you come to see me?"

She didn't think that the "Red Angel" was just here to reminisce about the past. Even Glade Soren was not sure he could escape from her. How could Medici, who was also a "weather wizard", dare to take the risk?

"What if I say I covet your 'City of Disaster'?"

Medici put down the half-eaten red apple, picked up the coffee cup, sniffed the aroma, and said.

"Then I will tell the next 'Weather Warlock' that this feature was generously donated by you."

Angel sneered and resolutely fought back against Medici's presumptuous idea.

Medici narrowed his black eyes and looked at Angel silently. After a moment, he chuckled and said:

"Leaving you alone will make Chike, the original witch, the one who has the most headache. I just need to wait for both of you to be defeated."

According to previous experience with Him, He would have made some mockery at this time, but I didn't expect Him to be cowardly...Has He given up the fight for the position of "Red Priest" and just wants to be an angel who lives in peace with the world? Angel was a little confused and instinctively suspected that this was a fraud by a high-ranking hunter.

But compared to the threats from Chick and the Outer Gods, a "weather wizard" really didn't pose much of a threat to Angel, so she didn't care whether the other party really gave in or not. Instead, she told Medici the information she got from the remnant soul of Crismena in the catacombs, and then asked:

"What did the 'Blood Emperor' do in the Fourth Epoch to trigger the God War? What is this thing that even the Primordial Witch fears?"

"Oh, how would I know that?" Medici sneered, leaning back in his chair, a little further away from Angel, whose expression had turned cold. "At the time, Soran, Einhorn, and I were all sealed in the basement of Backlund. We were discussing whether to seek revenge on Tudor first or kill a few of his descendants to vent our anger after we got out. We knew nothing about the outside world." "But... even we who were sealed could feel the dangerous aura coming from the direction of Trier. It was not only the attraction of the 'City of Disaster', but also the power of order and disorder, the fear of death and eternal sleep, and the knowledge that made people yearn for and desire..."

Medici seemed to be lost in his memories, his vision a little out of focus.

"At the time, we thought that Tudor had finally aroused public anger and was besieged by Solomon who had returned from the Astral Realm, Salinger from the Southern Continent, and his old rival Trunsoest. But it was not until we left the seal and conducted a lot of investigations that I realized that it was the power of the 'Source Essence' that was leaking."

According to Medici's description, at that time, in addition to the "City of Disaster", Trier was also contaminated by at least the "Land of Disorder" and the "River of Eternal Darkness". As for knowledge... could it be the "Wild Knowledge"? This might be the source of the two paths of the Generalist and the Peeping Secrets, but it has nothing to do with the path of the Four Emperors...

Angel frowned and thought, and asked:

"Is it possible that Alistair Tudor is using the special features of the Red Priest to summon the source substance sealed in the Western Continent? According to some, the Red Priest means a priest who worships the source of power."

After learning about this from the Lamp God, she originally wanted to find an opportunity to meet Medici. Now was the perfect opportunity to ask this "hunter" who was the strongest besides Tudor.

Medici shook his head, without showing his usual sarcastic expression, and said seriously:

"You have a misunderstanding about the 'source of power'. It does not refer to the power of all source substances, but only to the 'City of Disaster'. Of course, most hunters interpret it as the 'power of the source of war', which is not wrong. After all, compared to witches, hunters only need to care about war."

As He spoke, He glanced at Angel's chest, which was exposed after he unbuttoned a button. He paused for a moment on the blood-red mark on the white skin and continued:

"Since you are the favored one of the Source and have received the gift, you must know that starting from the 'War Bishop', hunters can pray to the 'Origin of War' with enough sacrifices and get corresponding help... That is essentially the gift of the power of the 'Source'. And when it comes to the 'Weather Warlock' and the 'Conqueror', this ability will be even stronger. It can be predicted that after becoming a 'Red Priest', enough sacrifices can directly make the Source descend, allowing the Red Priest to temporarily surpass the power of the True God."

He stretched out his hand and touched his forehead, and a blood-red mark shaped like a flag appeared faintly.

That was the mark of the "City of Disaster", a sign that He had been contaminated by the source, or a sign of blessing... But why was His mark on the forehead, while mine was on the chest? The difference between actively and passively accepting blessings? Angel muttered and nodded.

She does have the ability to pray to the source material. In the "War Bishop" stage, she can only perform sacrifices in wars she participates in, and only once.

But because there is a simpler and easier way, which is to let the person in her mirror bring down his power, she has never used this kind of sacrificial method.

Gathering her thoughts, she asked:
"So, Tudor really used the power of the Red Priest to allow the City of Disaster to break through the seal to a certain extent and descend on Trier during the Four Emperors' War, thereby causing the leakage of other essences?"

"Judging from the ruins of Trier in the Fourth Epoch, 'He' was at least partially successful, but also suffered backlash." Medici sighed.

Can it really work... Angel's eyes lit up, and he leaned forward slightly and asked in a low voice:

"Do I have any hope of using this power to summon the real 'City of Disaster'?"

She pretended to look at him with hope, but in fact she was judging whether Medici was lying by his micro-expressions.

The "Red Angel" sneered and said again in that disdainful tone:

"Then you must first become a true 'Red Priest', and secondly, offer enough sacrifices, such as a war involving multiple gods, to achieve what Tudor once did... I suspect that even if the conditions are met, you can only barely leak the power of the Essence like Him, rather than letting the Essence itself descend outside the barrier.

"Before the disaster happened, I once conducted a large-scale sacrifice under the Lord's guidance, trying to communicate with the sealed 'City of Disaster', but the end result was not good."

Is He referring to the experience before the Cataclysm when He was still a "War Angel" under the ancient sun god? The result was not good... Could it be that it led to the leakage of source pollution? Bansi, no, Binsi was formed because of this?
The Angel King was completely defeated, and the "Red Priest" Tudor barely achieved a partial effect, but he lost the war and died here... Angel felt that his hope was somewhat shattered. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Medici continue:

“…Therefore, the Lord came to a conclusion that if one were to use the Red Priest to draw out the source of war to break the seal, it would be difficult for even the true God, let alone the Angel King, to do so.

"Unless someone can concentrate the power of the two paths and become a dual-path true god of the 'Red Priest' and the 'Witch'."
