Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1252 Who is the enemy and who is the friend

Not counting the extraordinary characteristics of saints and angels, which are equivalent to magical items of "level 1" seals, there are as many as 0 "level 5" seals with formal or informal numbers.

被战神教会大牧首盗走最终落在安吉尔手中的“0-02”特伦索斯特黄铜书，从贝尔纳黛手中再次借来的“0-05”许愿神灯，来自亚伯拉罕家族的“0-62”星之杖，暂定编号“0-99”的“诡秘侍者”幕布，以及安吉尔刚到手不久还没焐热的“苍白之冠”。

In addition, Angel can summon the "0-01" Salinger Blood Flag and the "0-63" Sword of Glory at any time in the real world or the mirror world, and use part of the power of the "City of Disaster".

Except for not having the combat power of a true god, the combined strength of the two is almost equivalent to that of a single orthodox church.

According to Alger, the "Hanged Man" who has become a cardinal and has access to some of the core secrets of the "Storm Church", they have 0 "6" level seals, and because the side effects are difficult to control, they cannot be used at the same time. There are only three angels and the Pope active on earth, and about saints.

In contrast, Angel and Klein, who have the help of source power, can take out almost all the "0" level seals for their own use in a short period of time, and have the method to drive the power of adjacent pathways, which can exert a combat power far beyond Sequence 2 and essentially reach the combat power of the Angel King.

If the "Lord of the Storm" cannot descend, even if all the Storm Church members are dispatched, they will not be enough to defeat Klein and I. The two of us can work together to severely damage or even kill some angels in an instant. As for the saints, no matter whether they are "witches" who are proficient in area attacks or "fortune tellers" who have secret dolls and clones, they are not afraid of siege. Even if the true God descends for a short time, we can hide in the source and delay the descent of God... Thinking of this, Angel realized that she and Klein had become a "powerful force" that could stand on equal footing with the Orthodox Church.

Of course, this does not mean that they are enemies of the True God Church and the True Gods who have helped them, but rather that they are using a certain benchmark as a reference for evaluating their own strength. After all, the only one stronger than the Storm Church is the Night Goddess Church, which has currently annexed the War God Church and accepted the Death God's legacy.

Seeing Angel staring blankly at the many sealed objects that were thrown on the ground and suppressed by the power of Sefirah Castle, Klein smiled and asked:

"Have you finished everything else?"

Angel sat elegantly on the comfortable single sofa, enjoying the warmth of the fire created by the mist of history but looking extremely real, and nodded:

"I reported the list I got from Moran Avini to the Church of the Eternal Sun. Although most of the 'Mirror People' hiding in Trier were reminded by Queen Roselle and got out of their disguises in time, the entire organization still suffered a heavy blow. It will probably be impossible for it to continue operating within a few years."

"Because Beyonders above the Sun Path Saint level will not create their own mirror person?" Klein asked thoughtfully.

"Well, this may be related to the power of 'No Darkness' to dispel evil, eliminate shadows, and suppress corruption, or it may be the influence of the top level of the path. After all, that 'God' once housed the 'City of Disaster'..."

Angel explained, crossing her right leg over her left knee, revealing her graceful calf under her skirt, and continued:

"In addition, after half a year of concentrated attacks, the 'Original Moon' believers in the southern continent have also retreated to the primeval forests, mountains and other places to hide, and the angels and saints of the Orthodox Church have gradually begun to return to the northern continent."

Klein glanced at Angel and nodded.
"This means that the gods have enough energy to pay attention to other hidden forces, such as the Moss Ascetic Order, the Aurora Order, and... the Witch Cult and the 'Original Witch'."

This was the moment they had been waiting for.

Of course, when it comes to different true gods and their churches, the emphasis is also different. Storm and Lieyang are still vigilant about Adam's movements, and are most cautious against organizations that believe in the true creator, such as the "Aurora Society" and the "Iron Cross", almost the same as dealing with other outer gods; Steam is undoubtedly most concerned about the "Moss Ascetic Society", intending to find the traces of the "Hidden Sage"; the Church of the Mother Earth still has a large number of gods who do not belong to the "Moon" and "Mother" paths stationed in the southern continent to deal with the believers of the "Original Moon", and actively crack down on the newly emerged secret organizations such as the "Great Mother", the Night Tour Society, and the Tree God Cult in the northern continent.

The only ones who can really spare some time and truly deal with the Witch Sect and the "Original Witch" Chick are probably the Church of Evernight and the goddess.

Thinking of the information he had recently collected and his deepest concerns, Angel considered for a moment and reminded:

"Although it is enough to deal with a true god like the goddess who has obtained the power of adjacent channels and has begun to contact the 'source essence', Chike may have awakened some of the power of 'God' during his research with 'Blood Emperor' Tudor and was contaminated by the source essence of the 'Chaos Sea'. If this is the case, we may be facing an existence that is stronger than ordinary true gods and close to the 'God of Death' in the Pale Age."

Klein placed his arms on the armrests of the chair, tapping his fingers as he usually did when he was The Fool, and said in an affirmative tone:
"If that's the case, the other gods won't just leave him alone. Storm, Fiery Sun, Wisdom, and even Adam and the True Creator, who haven't decided the winner yet, will stop fighting among themselves and join forces to prevent the resurrection of that God. After all, if this pillar-level Old One fully awakens, it will be the worst outcome for them."

From this point of view, the allies, enemies, and possible forces to be fought for are clear... Angel nodded slightly, his mind flashed, and a thick gray mist condensed above the fireplace in front of the two of them. The golden light spots inside quickly formed lines of runes.

The "allies" on the left are currently only the Goddess of Night, the "enemies" on the right are the Primal Witch, and the middle is filled with the five true gods under the "Sea of ​​Chaos".

Considering their inclinations, the other four gods except Adam the Dreamer are closer to the allies.

After all, even without the risk of "God" reviving, Klein and Amon are enemies determined by the path of magic potions and the ownership of "Source Castle". Adam will undoubtedly stand on the side of his brother, which is equivalent to pushing the other four gods into Klein's arms. Helping Angel is equivalent to helping Klein, otherwise Angel cannot become a god. Klein alone cannot fight against the brothers Adam and Amon. When Amon becomes a true god with source essence, he will in turn help Adam seize the Chaos Sea and the five paths of "omniscience and omnipotence".

As for the other "Steam" and "Mother Earth", their inclinations are still unclear at the moment, and they also have their own troubles to deal with.

"There are also the Outer Gods... Although they cannot personally participate in this battle, some of their power has penetrated deep into the barrier and can have a certain impact on the situation."

Klein suddenly said, and his fingers stopped tapping the armrest. The gray fog in front of him also changed slightly, and more names appeared inside.

Those former beings such as the "Ring of Fate", "Decay King", and "Super Star Overlord" that have not been found to have made any movements for the time being are floating outside the table, but the "Fallen Mother Goddess" and "Mother Tree of Desire" whose tentacles have already extended into the barrier are located in the neutral part, even closer to the side of the "Original Witch" Chick.

After all, from the perspective of the interests of the Old Ones outside the barrier, the appearance of any Old One on Earth would be an outcome that they could hardly accept. Compared with Angel, who had a healthier mentality, a better condition and was favored by the source, and was promoted to God Killer, Chick, who occupied the "Witch" Sequence 0 and was stuck in the "City of Disaster", maintaining the status quo is undoubtedly a better choice. They will naturally tend to favor the other side.

Unless, that "God" might really be born in the depths of the mirror world, then the Outer Gods might remain neutral, and they would beat whoever wins... Angel muttered, his eyes fixed on the name of the last of the Old Ones.

"What about the 'Child of Chaos'? His body is outside, and his head is inside. Who is he planning to help?"

She used a teasing tone to ease the serious atmosphere at the moment, and at the same time looked at the "Wishing Lamp" that was the focus of the gray fog and seemed to be dead and motionless.

Klein also glanced at the sealed object, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up, and he said with a smile:

"He will stand on our side for now. I have convinced Him according to your method and made a wish to Him... The reward is to deliver this lamp to the starry sky before the end of the 1368th year of the Fifth Era. As for how to escape from the predicament afterwards, it is up to Him. This is bound by the rules of the Old Ones, and neither He nor I can violate them."

Compared to other Old Ones who were eyeing the extraordinary characteristics and source essence within the barrier, the only wish of this poor Lamp God was to leave the seal and find back his body and power that had gradually begun to have self-awareness. This gave Angel and Klein the basis for cooperation with Him.

"If the Earth cannot resist the Outer Gods, everyone will die, and He will naturally be rescued. If the Earth wins, He will have the opportunity to return to the starry sky and escape the seal... Hedging his bets is worthy of the old days of the 'Lawyer' path."

Angel commented, gaining a little more confidence in the subsequent battle.

----

At the deepest part of the mirror world, the "City of Disaster" is located in the mirror city outside the seal.

Angel's "man in the mirror" was fiddling with a palm-sized, pitch-black statue in his hand. It looked like a beautiful woman, with hair hanging down to its feet like poisonous snakes. There were some bone patterns on the surface, and it was unknown what kind of creature's bones it was carved from.

That was the statue of "another original witch" that Angel got from the black cat Vinsa and had kept in the mirror space.

After examining it for a while, the person in the mirror placed it on the ground, looked down at it, and chanted a passage of honor:
"The source of all disasters, the symbol of destruction and doomsday, the ruler of chaos..."

Before she finished reading the honorific name of "Original Witch" Chick, she heard a rustling sound in her ears.

She stopped talking suddenly, listened attentively, and found that someone was chanting her name:
"The messenger of disaster and eternal night, the judge of disease and strife, the source of the power in the mirror, the noble Angelica Thatch, I ask for your gaze..."

This incomplete honorific omitted the phrase "Queen of the Five Seas and Islands". According to the symbolism of the honorific, this would refer to Angel in the mirror rather than the "Queen" in the real world.

Someone is specifically looking for me... The person in the mirror was startled, and his spirituality spread to the light of faith in front of him, and he saw the specific appearance of the person praying.

He was a middle-aged man wearing a pure white robe, with blond hair and a golden beard, and a warm smile.
