Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1217: Secret History of the Fourth Epoch

Since the military dominated the initial colonization of East Balam occupied by Loen, there were far more Storm Churches than Night Goddess Churches in major cities, and the number of believers also showed a large gap. When Angel and Antigonus walked into the largest Night Church in Gurain, "San Dixia Church", the number of believers in the prayer hall was even less than that of bishops and priests.

Antigonus, whose hair was half white and whose coarse black hair on his cheeks was a little longer than the last time Angel saw him, found a bench and sat down while saying:
"In order to contain the spread of the Goddess' teachings, the Storm Church pushed to preserve the belief in the 'God of Death' in East Balam, such as using coffins as a means of transportation, the custom of worshipping death, and inverted pyramid-shaped buildings... Of course, it seems that all their efforts were in vain now."

Is that because "Death" and "Night" are adjacent paths, but have different views on death and eternal sleep? Angel secretly guessed.

It's a pity that the god of death is now equivalent to the goddess of night...

Sitting on a bench in the corner, Angel collected his thoughts and used mirror magic to block others' prying eyes. After Antigonus reported the recent movements of the "Original Moon" believers, he quickly got to the point:

"How much do you know about the 'Blood Emperor' of the Fourth Epoch?"

Antigonus nodded without surprise and said:

"A lot. Which part do you want to know?"

"Did He cooperate with the 'Original Witch' Chike before or after He became a god? What on earth were they doing?"

Angel did not ask about the history of the Tudor Empire, which he already knew, but instead asked the most important question.

"Before becoming a Red Priest, Alistair Tudor was not yet the Blood Emperor, but just one of the Archons of the United Empire. Before that, he was no different from other Solomon nobles and was not worthy of the attention of the Original Witch. At that time, the three Conquerors, Medici, Soren, and Einhorn, were the most wary of Chick."

Antigonus sat back in his chair and spoke in a flat tone.

"Until the United Empire found that it could not completely destroy the mausoleum of the Black Emperor Solomon and the human civilization order on which he resurrected, and Tudor and Trunsoest were unwilling to sacrifice themselves to allow the other to become a new god, they began to look for their own ways out, jumping to other paths before Solomon returned, and expelling their own characteristics of the Prince of Order Killing."

After that, with the support of six gods, Trunsoest jumped to the adjacent "Judge" path, avoiding the problem of characteristic conflicts. Tudor first tried to build the "Black Emperor" mausoleum, but found it was too late and had no choice but to forcibly upgrade to the non-adjacent "Red Priest" path sequence 0. According to the promotion ceremony of the Red Priest on the "Blasphemy Card", it is unclear whether he completed the ceremony or not. Perhaps he relied on his military exploits when serving the Solomon Empire to accommodate his uniqueness... Angel sighed at Tudor's madness in his heart.

Of course, judging from the subsequent results, being crazy but alive is much better than falling into a lower status or even dying. After all, the former still has hope of getting rid of madness, while death is real death, or it may be worse than death, such as the "Red Angel" evil spirit of the Trinity...

Thinking of this, she continued to ask:

"I heard from Soran that when they were trying to decide who would be the Red Priest, Amon and his brothers helped Tudor, allowing him to capture the three conquerors in one fell swoop?"

Antigonus nodded slightly and said:

"Yes, not only Adam and Amon, but also me."

This... Medici's death was not unjust. Tudor actually had the support of three angel kings behind him, and he was also an "audience" who was good at writing scripts, a "thief" who liked to take advantage of loopholes, and a "fortune teller" that everyone wanted to fight... He actually read out Adam's name directly. Was it because of the anti-fortune telling angel's ability? It seems that this method is not just asking for trouble, but it is still somewhat useful... Angel smacked his lips and sighed, and asked curiously:

"Why are you helping Tudor? Wouldn't it be better to just support one of the 'Conquerors'? At least you won't end up with a half-crazy god."

Hearing her question, Antigonus smiled slightly and his tone became softer:

"Because Adam, Amon, and Alistair helped me in the ceremony of assimilating me into human society and accommodating the uniqueness of The Fool."

It turns out to be comradeship... Wait, a ritual that accommodates uniqueness?

Angel was startled. Before he could ask, the "miracle master" in front of him explained as if he had predicted the future: "If it is impossible to obtain the characteristics and uniqueness of the other two Sequence 1 at once and make a potion to be taken in the correct ritual, you can consider accommodating the uniqueness alone to become the Angel King, but this requires a simplified version of the deification ritual as an aid."

I remember that the ritual of becoming a god of the Fool required fooling time, history, or fate once. So Antigonus had done this before, which allowed for the uniqueness of the mask's appearance... Angel thought to himself, and did not dwell on this issue too much, but brought the topic back on track:
"So, it was only after Tudor became the Red Priest that the Original Witch appeared beside Him?"

"Yes, I speculate that Chike became a god during the period when the United Empire began to disagree. After that, his main target was the conquerors, especially the unique 'Red Angel' Medici. As for the reason, I want to know the concept of the 'Old Days', and you should know it very well." Antigonus said.

Because to become a "destroying natural disaster", Chick only needs a sequence 1 and the corresponding uniqueness, which Medici can satisfy, which is equivalent to the promotion of the old humanoid potion... The "Original Witch" became a god in such a low-key manner that even Antigonus, who was the king of angels at the time, could only guess the approximate time? Could this be related to Chick's mastery of the "mirror world"? Angel thought about it and nodded to show that he understood.

“As for when “She” appeared beside His Majesty the Blood Emperor, and did not compete with him but cooperated with him, I am not sure, but it was no later than the establishment of the Tudor Empire… Therefore, the Original Witch is also one of the great nobles of the empire in secret, and the one who is closest to His Majesty.

"I suspect that Adam had pushed this matter, because after that, He completely disappeared from everyone's sight, and Amon stayed beside His Majesty and became the Angel King who assisted Him. Ha, this was most likely arranged by Adam."

Antigonus chuckled and said as he changed his sitting position.

This is in line with the practice of that "writer", no, now it is the "dreamer", hiding behind the scenes and arranging everything through coincidences and scripts... Angel suddenly had some bad memories, shook his head, and continued to ask:

"What are the details of their cooperation?"

"Not long after Chike secretly appeared beside Your Majesty, Bethel Abraham was entrusted with using his own abilities to create a special space with the function of 'keeping secrets'. Combined with the power of Chike, it became a special mirror world, which was spacious and secretive enough to be unknown to other gods... Your Majesty and Him tried to have sex there many times and gave birth to a pair of heirs, a brother and sister."

I'm not asking about details like this... Angel felt a little embarrassed. Just as he was about to get the topic back on track, he suddenly realized that Antigonus, as a "fortune teller", was unlikely to say something meaningless. He frowned and asked:

"Is there any problem here?"

"Yes," Antigonus answered with a firm tone, "Their union and the birth of Crisemena and Euris were inevitable."

"This is what Bethel told me. He mentioned that he had spiritual guidance in helping to build the special mirror world, and thought that this would help him advance to Sequence 0, but he eventually discovered that he had been misled.

"That secret area eventually underwent a strange change during the use of Your Majesty and Chick, and became the prototype of the special mirror world in Trier today. Since then, all angel kings, including Bethel, have been prohibited from entering it. It has become a private space exclusively for the two gods.

"An angel from the Jacob family tried to enter that space, but was discovered by His Majesty. The furious Blood Emperor executed the angel in front of all the Angel Kings."

I remember Christine mentioned this... Angel nodded slightly, guessing that the "Jacob" at that time was actually an incarnation of Amon, and His temptation was equivalent to Amon's temptation.

And the temptation of Amon was the temptation of Adam.

"Did Adam have a hand in this, too?"

She asked directly.

"It's very likely," Antigonus nodded, "If I help Tudor to repay him for his help to me, and Amon is just following his brother, then Adam must have his own purpose in planning all this.

"However, the relationship between the two gods and the changes in the mirror world were obviously beyond His expectations. Therefore, His Majesty's conspiracy was soon exposed to the eyes of other gods, and the War of the Four Emperors broke out."

Beyond Adam's expectation? No wonder He helped Tudor at the beginning, but then triggered the Four Emperors War and Tudor's fall. Is this considered tearing up the book because the plot is beyond His control... Angel complained in his heart, his eyes stayed on Antigonus's indifferent expression, and asked the most crucial question:
"What is it in the mirror world that makes Adam and the gods so worried and panicked?"
