Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1239 Is there really a problem?
"Tsk, you may have some misunderstandings about me," Will Auceptin glanced at Angel, sucked his thumb and said, "I have indeed lived a long time and can be considered an 'old thing', but that doesn't mean I know all the information, including the pillar-level old days..."

"Even the fact that 'God' once hosted the 'City of Disaster', I only just learned from you."

Indeed, the great battle between "Tianzun" and "God", and their reckless attempt to contain multiple source substances that led to their mutual demise, took place in the First Age, a chaotic era before the ancient gods were born. Even the Angel Kings of "Source Castle" in the Fourth Age could not truly restore the context of that era, and guessed wrongly about the source substances contained by "God"... Angel sighed, knowing that he had taken it for granted.

But before she could speak again, the "Snake of Fate", who was less than two years old in this life, added:
"Of course, I can provide a few clues that will lead to a possible answer. It's up to you whether you believe it or not."

He squirmed in the stroller to make himself more comfortable, and continued in a neutral child's voice:

"First, after the Cataclysm, the 'writer' secretly facilitated many things. The most widespread impact was probably the use of the second 'blasphemous slate' to cause a fight among many angels, which led to the emergence of many gods... But for you, the most important thing is that he secretly supported the birth of the 'Blood Emperor'.

“Secondly, after that, He suddenly gave up Tudor and hid in the dark, which eventually led to the outbreak of the ‘Four Emperors’ War’ and the demise of the ‘Blood Emperor’… During this period, Tudor tried to find, or rather hunt down, the Angel King, but he never succeeded.

"Finally, you were able to advance from Sequence 9 to Sequence 2 in less than three years. Was this all part of His plan? What was His purpose? Is there any similarity between His and the above two points?"

After saying this, He lay back in the silver silk, squinting His eyes towards the sun, as if enjoying the warmth of the morning sun.

Angel began to think about these questions.

She had heard from Glade Soren and Medici about Adam helping Alistair Tudor become the "Blood Emperor". She even knew that three "Conquerors" were harmed in the process. Afterwards, he was suspected of "matching" Him with the "Original Witch" Chick, so that the two true gods on adjacent paths did not fight each other, but were "combined" together in the physical and mystical sense.

Medici once said that Adam eventually turned against Tudor and Chick, which led to the "War of the Four Emperors".

But what are the two things for... "He" cooperated with the Goddess of Night to seal my memory after I "traveled" just now. What is the purpose... Angel's mind raced, and he quickly thought of a possibility:
Adam is using Alistair Tudor, using her, to test what undiscovered secrets are in the "City of Disaster"!

“So, He is testing?”

Angel asked softly, but he already had the answer in his heart.

"Yes, what do you think He fears the most?"

Will Auceptin replied with an ambiguous smile.

As the Angel King, one of the five paths of "omniscience and omnipotence", and with the obsession of resurrecting his father, the ancient sun god, Adam was most afraid of the resurrection of that "God"... The "Chaos Sea" was naturally needless to say, and the "Shadow World" was originally the source of the Outer Gods. God had a certain influence on it, but not much, which could be seen from the experience of the "Demon King" Fabuti. Only the "City of Disaster" was in an unknown state because no corresponding ancient god had been born in the Second Era... Angel confirmed his guess and sighed half relieved and half worriedly.

Then, she thought of how after Tudor and Chick combined in the special mirror world, each of them possessed certain powers that were not their own, and one of the confirmed powers was the "corruption" that split Christine's soul.

And that belongs to the "Hanged Man" path, to the "Omniscient and Omnipotent One"!
Did Tudor and Chick mess around in the mirror world and awaken "God"? Did the pillar-level Old One really revive in their bodies and bring a certain amount of power?

Angel suddenly felt like he was about to break out in a cold sweat.

After careful consideration, she found that if this guess was true, it could explain Adam's sudden falling out with Tudor and Chick, and his attempt to use the "Four Emperors War" to solve the hidden danger. However, it contradicted Fabiti's statement. After all, if "God" had revived in the Fourth Epoch, how could he have continued to influence this demon? And Fabiti specifically said that "God's" influence on him became even stronger after the Four Emperors War...

After neutralizing the two, the consciousness of "God" was revived to a certain extent in Tudor and Chick, but it was not truly resurrected. This brought a part of the power from the "Chaos Sea" for use by the two true gods, and eventually led to the leakage of the source during the "War of the Four Emperors"?
This is also consistent with the fact that Chick called herself the "Original Witch" more after combining with Tudor. The two true gods became crazy one after another, and the consciousness of a pillar was revived in the body. Even the ancient sun god could not bear it, let alone the true god of a single path?
After figuring this out, Angel felt relieved.

There is a resurrection plan for the pillar inside the "City of Disaster". Although this can be regarded as a major crisis, it is not an imminent problem. At least above her is the "Original Witch" Chick, who has not been completely eroded and polluted by the "God" after the entire Fifth Era. There is a high probability that this resurrection plan may not work.

On the contrary, she was somewhat worried about Chike's acquisition of the power of the "Chaos Sea", which meant that she was not facing a single "Witch" Sequence 0, but probably also powers from other paths such as "The Hanged Man", "Storm", and "Audience".

In this matter, perhaps the True Creator can provide some help... After He obtains the Blasphemous Slate, He should be stronger than the average True God... Angel sighed, put this matter aside for the time being, looked at Will Auceptin in the cradle, and said:

"During this period, I entered the sealed Western Continent through a secret ceremony..."

She briefly told the archangel of the "monster" path what she had seen during the two secret meetings, and then asked:

"What do you think about the source of the 'Key of Light'?
“All the Hedaoists in the Western Continent believe that the end of the world is near. Even if the seal is opened before the barrier, it will be difficult for them to walk the divine path again and truly contain the source essence. Therefore, they all hope that we can decide on the candidate for the ‘Old Ones’ as soon as possible.

"Both you and the Angel of Destiny Ouroboros are theoretically qualified."

Of course, the other one would have to give up the position of Sequence 1, and would most likely perish... I wonder if their accumulated luck would give them the opportunity to "restart" as Sequence 2... Angel didn't say these discouraging words.

Will Auceptin stared at her blankly. After a moment, his facial features wrinkled and tears fell.

"I haven't waited for the opportunity to accommodate 'uniqueness'... This is entirely due to 'luck', not my efforts."

He said sobbingly.

Opportunity, not ritual... Is this the characteristic of the "monster" path that possesses the power of destiny? As long as the timing is right, accommodating uniqueness, even the promotion to Sequence 0 itself is equivalent to a ritual? Angel pondered, patted the archangel's bulging head, and smiled:
"It depends on who is luckier between you and Ouroboros. At least you still have the uniqueness, which is better than "Him."

For both emotional and logical reasons, Angel would rather let Will Auceptin become the owner of the "Key of Light". After all, this archangel provided a lot of help to her and Klein when they were weak.

Although Ouroboros also helped Angel a lot, such as in her promotion ceremony to "Despair" and when she fought with Amon for the "Profane Slate" in the Giant King's Court... but there is always a certain difference between him and the one in front of him.

Of course, as He Himself said, who will get the "Key of Light" depends entirely on luck rather than personal effort.

Each path has its own characteristics... Angel smiled and left Dr. Allen Criss's house.

----

In Azshara, the capital of Lunburg, at the base of the towering and majestic white tower of the "Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom", Angel's figure walked out from a piece of stained glass.

She arrived at the main gate, wondering how to enter the temple, when an old man in a white robe inlaid with brass threads appeared at the door and smiled at her in a friendly manner.

Come to greet him personally... Did He predict my behavior? Angel was startled, walked forward, bowed his head and said:

"Your Excellency the Archbishop."

This was her first time meeting the old man named Heraberg, but as early as when Elaine Soren sneaked into Morola to fight for the "Blood Flag of Salinger", she learned about the existence of this archbishop whose name was very similar to that of the "God of Wisdom" Herabergen.

The latter's amber eyes were clear and gentle. He looked at her with a smile and nodded slightly.
"follow me."

He did not ask Angel's purpose, nor did he introduce himself. He took Angel through the crowded White Tower Hall, walked through the spacious corridors filled with gas wall lamps, and came to a library with double brass doors.

"Don't you want to take the underground passage?"

Angel asked curiously as he looked around at the seemingly endless brass bookshelves filled with books.

Heraberg shook his head.

"Since your purpose is clear, there is no need to be so cumbersome."

Angel reminded:

"I'm not here to unseal it."

"I'm not going to let you remove its seal. Now is not the right time. When you really need it, you will come here again."

The Archbishop narrowed his eyes and smiled as he answered.

“Excuse me, is this a prophecy?”

Angel's brows furrowed slightly.

"No, it's a blessing,"

Heraberg answered softly, raised a hand and pointed to the ground between them, then pointed it upwards, and a door as tall as a person appeared in the void.

As He moved, a real, narrow gate glittering with starlight appeared out of thin air, with various colors surging inside, as if containing various abstract concepts and symbolic symbols.

Looking at this unprecedented scene, Angel seemed to understand something:
"This door leads to the astral world?"

"It leads to the depths of Morola," Heraberg answered quickly, and before Angel could ask further, he continued, "The 'Exiled City' and the surrounding mountains are in my stomach."

My stomach... He admitted it... No wonder even Chick could only send power through the advent of God, and did not dare to take away "0-01" personally, which was equivalent to sending himself into the stomach of a true God... Angel was stunned, came to the star gate, and stepped in.

Without any dizziness or blackness, Angel passed through the star gate and stepped directly into a sea of ​​corpses and blood.

With the help of dark vision, she saw a huge underground cave in the darkness, a mountain of corpses, steel puppets stationed nearby, and a burnt flag on the top of the mountain of corpses that fluttered without wind.

With her arrival, invisible and colorless flames surged out from among the corpses, instantly igniting the space. The dark sky above her head took on a burning color, and an aura of terror that could conquer everything descended.
