Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1234 “Travelers” Alliance?
In the misty palace, Angel once again attended a Tarot Club with only her and The Fool.

"What? That Demon King, the ancient god who disappeared in the Second Era, is also a time traveler?"

Sitting in the Fool's main seat, Klein asked in surprise.

He was not too surprised that the Goddess of Night was a time traveler, because the two of them had guessed it a long time ago, but they did not dare to say "hello" to confirm it when praying. However, the Demon King Fabuti was also a time traveler, and there was a high probability that he fell into the "abyss" currently located in Australia. Was he a time traveler in the flesh?
"It can be basically confirmed that He responded to me in English, but this could also be a trick of the 'devil'. Unless I confirm it with the goddess, I still have to remain vigilant."

Angel replied.

She was somewhat surprised at the Demon King's unwillingness to talk about his past life and his attitude of passing on his identity as a traveler. After all, among the travelers she had met before, Roselle was a social lover who could talk about anything. Although the goddess didn't say anything, she could feel their silent care. The ancient sun god had fallen again. Only Fabuti seemed to be affected by some characteristics of the path he was on...

"So, except for the two of us who are still climbing the path to the gods, all the travelers whose identities have been confirmed have become gods? Well, the emperor can only be considered half..."

Klein muttered, his expression gradually changing.

"This may be related to the 'Tianzun' who once controlled Sefirah Castle. After leaving the light cocoon, I, Roselle, and the goddess all became extraordinary people of the corresponding Sefirah path. I am the 'Fortune Teller'. Although Roselle first embarked on the 'Generalist' path, he eventually became the 'Black Emperor'. The goddess doesn't know the exact time of the time she traveled through time, but it is very likely related to the Demon Wolf Clan. She was born an extraordinary person of the 'Darkness' path...

"And the 'Land of Disorder' and the 'River of Eternal Darkness' have both been accommodated by the Heavenly Lord."

As he analyzed, he felt that there was a will of heaven in all things, and he confirmed once again that the hundreds of travelers in the light cocoon were the means of resurrection left by the pillar.

All Sefirah Castle needs to do is to continuously release travelers, give them a little help, and allow them the opportunity to become gods. However, the unfortunate travelers have to consider more in order to avoid being controlled by the revived “Tianzun” consciousness…

Thinking of this, he looked at Angel again and realized that not only "Tianzun", but another pillar-level Old One, "God", also left behind many means of resurrection.

For example, Grisha, the ancient sun god who was eroded by the Chaos Sea and walked out of Chernobyl. After killing most of the ancient gods and ending the Dark Ages, he had to create the "Rose of Redemption" to assassinate himself because the original will revived in his body. From the words of the "Dark Angel" Sasriel, we can know that the "original" is most likely "God".

The "shadow world" that He had accommodated also had a certain impact on the ancient god Fabuti, making this god feel that there was an "omniscient and omnipotent" consciousness in his body.

What about the last essence that "God" contains? Does "City of Disaster" also contain the means for His resurrection? Is this the reason why Angel traveled through time?

Feeling his worried gaze, Angel forced a smile and said:
“Unlike Fabuti, I have not yet sensed the influence of that pillar. Perhaps it is because I have only been promoted to Sequence 2 and am not yet strong enough to be favored by Him. Or perhaps this method is not used by Beyonders of the Witch and Hunter Paths, but by other places…”

She thought that what Fabuti said might be related to Tudor and Chick's behavior, and guessed that the special mirror world concealed many secrets. It would not be surprising if the original witch, who showed a certain "omniscience and omnipotence" power, said one day that she was the female body of that God.

By the way, could this be related to the promotion ceremony of Sequence 0 of the Witch Path? The ritual of the "Witch" card in my hand requires the use of the power of "chaos" to establish a kingdom of God that corresponds to reality, but when I took a look at the "blasphemous slate", the ritual on it required going deep underground to contact the power of the "chaos sea" and endure pollution without being alienated...

Considering that the first blasphemous slate came from the "Chaos Sea" owned by "God", and the second one was produced from the remains of the ancient sun god, is this ritual really not a trap... Angel's mind was full of thoughts.

Seeing Klein looking at her with concern, she forced a smile again and said, trying to change the subject:

"Now it seems that as the only surviving ancient god, Fabuti should have been taken care of by the ancient sun god and goddess who were also time travelers... Maybe there was a 'Time Traveler Alliance' at that time, and they tacitly understood each other, but helped each other."

"Just like our relationship with the goddess," Klein nodded. Thinking of the constant attention he had received since he traveled through time, he suddenly frowned and asked in confusion, "No, Fabuti is not the only ancient god who survived to this day. The 'Mother Goddess of the Earth' Lilith was originally the ancestor of vampires and is also one of the eight ancient gods..."

The two of them were stunned at the same time.

Lilith... Could the owner of this name, which comes from the mythology of the previous life, also be a time traveler?
So he was able to get the help of the ancient sun god to fake his death, replace the identity of "Mother Earth Goddess" Omybella, and help the God of War and the Goddess of Night win the war between gods at the critical moment?
Is this all about mutual help among “time travelers”?
Angel and Klein looked at each other and felt that this explanation made sense, but like the previous question, there was a lack of evidence.

You can't come to the church of Mother Earth and say a word in Chinese or English during your prayers, right?
"Ask the goddess?"

Angel said tentatively.

"He will most likely not give an answer, and will keep the tacit understanding like before. Although we are worth the 'investment', we are not yet at the point where we can open our hearts to each other." Klein shook his head, not holding out much hope. "Of course, you have contacted the 'Underworld Man' this time and laid the foundation for Him in the past. Perhaps there will be a different result."

Last time I found out about Omibella and reported it to the goddess, but she ignored me... Angel curled her lips and put the idea aside for the time being. Anyway, knowing that Fabuti and Lilith were both "old survivors" like her didn't make much sense. The former was already in danger of being eroded by the "Mother Tree of Desire" on the inner part of the barrier, and the latter, who was also a god from outside, was likely to face similar problems, and even came up with a system of "god-favored" and "god-favored" to deal with the problem of false oracles. It was hard to say whether they were still on the side of "Earth" at the moment.

Of course, if you want to get to the bottom of it, Angel has another choice besides the goddess:

Adam, and the "real creator" who competed with him for the way to resurrect the ancient sun god.

These two must be more difficult to deal with than the goddess... The thought flashed through her mind, and she immediately rejected this suicidal behavior and turned to discuss future actions with Klein.

After the "Dream Festival" is over, as long as the "Pale Queen" does not intend to completely break off relations with the Goddess of Night, she will have to hand over the Beyonder characteristic of Sequence 1. Putting the "Divine Evil" characteristic in the dream is the best result for the Earth. It can block the path of the "Bound God" to become a god, and at the same time maintain Fabti's state to prevent Him from being further polluted.

When there are no features available in the "Witch" path and there are obvious problems in jumping to "Conqueror", being able to obtain the Sequence 1 feature of a non-adjacent but mutually jumpable path gives her a way out.

The Goddess of Night also established contact with Ming Daoren, a practitioner of the "River of Eternal Darkness" in the Western Continent during the Dream Festival. The "Heavenly Master" once hinted that this was the basis for Angel to establish trust with the practitioners of the Source Essence in the Western Continent.

As far as the results are concerned, my trip to the Dream Festival was quite rewarding... She puffed out her chest somewhat complacently, looked at Klein, and asked:
"How is the preparation for the 'Attendant of Mysteries' ritual going?"

Three full months have passed since Klein finished playing the role of the "Miracle Master" while preparing for the Secret Doll Town. Because Yharnam was built next to the "City of Dreams" and the New Silver City, it has formed a solid connection with the surrounding areas, and the speed at which corresponding signs appear in the spiritual world will inevitably be very fast.

Sure enough, Klein, who was sitting on the Fool's seat, nodded and said:
"In fact, Yharnam City has already formed a corresponding area in the spirit world. Miss Magician didn't find any problems last time. The success rate of the promotion ceremony now will not be too low."

But...Angel added in his mind.

"However, this is because of the help of the Sefirah Castle. Otherwise, I estimate that the whole process will take at least half a year or even more than a year. This gives me room to delay my promotion and wait for opportunities."

Klein said with a smile.

"Zaratul?" Angel reacted immediately.

"That's right. The period before I am promoted to Sequence 1 is probably His only chance to seize the characteristics of Sefirah Castle and the other Mysterious Servant in my hands. Once I am promoted to the same Sequence 1 as Him, He will immediately change from hunter to prey. Under the powerful Sefirah aggregation force, this hunting game will not last long."

Angel understood when he recalled how Klein used the power of Source Castle to directly absorb the Sequence 1 characteristics from Antigonus' body.

Unlike Sequence 2, the competition among Sequence 1 is a zero-sum game. All the characteristics required to be promoted to a true god are indispensable. If there is a "0", there will be no "1". Therefore, Zaratul will definitely do his best to prevent Klein from being promoted, and use the only opportunity he has to gain a slight advantage to defeat him.

In this process, He can cooperate with anyone and any god. Amon, Adam and even outer gods such as the "Mother Tree of Desire" may join this battle.

Of course, in Klein's opinion, with Angel's help, he had an advantage even if he was only Sequence 2. Naturally, he wanted to take advantage of the other party's eagerness to lure Zaratul out and get rid of him, so that he wouldn't have to search for him after he was promoted.

So, what is Zaratul waiting for now?

The two looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

Wuwuwu——

A steam train with only four carriages slowly pulled into the only station in Yharnam City leading to the outside world. Passengers in various clothes filed out. Some boarded the hired carriages waiting there, some walked to the nearby city, and some returned to the train after a short rest, ready to go to the next stop, Yharnam Port.

An old man in a black robe and a hood, with a wisp of white beard showing under the hood, followed the crowd leisurely into the city and came to the bustling Municipal Square.

Looking up at the vault of the Church of the Fool, which was engraved with the symbols of the pupilless eye and twisted thread, he smiled slightly and walked in.
