Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1268: The Man in the Mirror (End of this Volume)
Relying on his increasingly alert spirituality, Klein immediately confirmed that Angel in the arms of the man in the mirror was not dead, but had fallen into a deep sleep. However, from her changed appearance and hair color, he was sure that not nothing had happened.

"What's going on? Is there a problem accommodating 'uniqueness'?"

he asked cautiously.

"Let's talk after we go out."

The person in the mirror glanced at him and left on his own initiative. Klein immediately followed, returning this special mirror world to a deathly silence.

Returning to the beach where he met the "Mother of Heaven" again, Klein pulled out Angel's favorite single sofa from the mist of history. He watched the person in the mirror put her in it and put her in her usual sitting posture before continuing to ask:
"Is it Chick's remaining will? Why must she be allowed to accommodate uniqueness at this time?"

The person in the mirror pushed aside Angel's long blond hair with black roots, looked at the peaceful face sleeping, and said:

"because of her……"

As soon as she opened her mouth, a man in a pure white robe appeared beside them. He held a thick book in front of his chest with one hand and a golden lamp in the other.

This man had blond hair and a golden beard, and his golden eyes were calm and clear. He was Adam, who had captured Klein after solving the George III incident and handed him over to Amon.

When did He appear? Or has He been waiting here all along?
Klein felt his scalp tingling. He was now in his true form, not a historical projection or a secret puppet. This was his most vulnerable moment. Angel and the man in the mirror beside him made it extremely difficult for him to leave alone and return to the gray fog.

But the person in the mirror beside the sofa did not overreact. Instead, he looked at Him calmly and said:

"I'll leave it to you to explain."

She knew Adam... and seemed to be familiar with him? Could it be that all this was arranged by this "visionary"... During the battle, this "person in the mirror" acted as if she knew a lot of things that Angel and I didn't know. For example, when she first appeared in the special mirror world, she prayed for me to steal the uniqueness of the "fool" from the "Mother of Heaven" and use it temporarily to help kill Chick. It was as if she had already anticipated that ordinary attacks would not work, and the goddess happened to prepare that mask for me to steal...

By the way, the goddess and Adam were the people who appeared beside Angel when she just "crossed over"...

Klein was in a trance and hesitated for a moment, but still did not launch an attack immediately.

Of course, the one standing in front of Adam had become a newly transformed secret puppet.

Under the "watching" of the birds in the sky and the schools of fish in the sea, Adam spoke with a warm smile:

"While you were fighting in the mirror world, Nast Solomon, the believer of the Uncertain Mist, united many parties and started a plan called the Vortex. This was a deal involving many Outer Gods, aimed at integrating their power within the barrier and making more preparations for the coming of the end of the world."

Nast... As Zaratul said, he has been secretly serving the Old Ones outside the barrier. The "Vortex" plan also matches the information provided by the man in the mirror that Angel captured in Trier... Klein was stunned and found that Adam was not lying.

Thinking of Zaratul's mention of the brothers Adam and Amon joining the Outer Gods, he immediately asked back:
"So, you joined in, in order to understand the full picture and to reap the benefits?"

This was in line with Klein's imagination of this god who liked to hide behind the scenes and arrange everything.

"Of course, using the 'whirlpool' to gain benefits is an important reason, but the most important thing is to severely damage the 'uncertain mist' so that the Outer Gods can no longer trust each other and unite. Otherwise, we will have no chance of winning when the end of the world comes."

We... He still thinks he is on Earth's side... Klein felt inexplicably relieved, but then he became alert, worried that he was being influenced by some kind of "hint."

Seeing that his secret doll didn't show any change in expression, Adam smiled and continued:
"Why do you think Amon's clone already existed in the Dream City? How did Nast, a Sequence 3 Mad Mage, escape the search of the Orthodox Church even though he received the gift of the Outer Gods? Why did Bernadette persist in searching for his traces and finally go to the mausoleum?"

As He said this, He looked at Angel who was sleeping on the sofa.

"She went to underground Trier and entered the 'Dream Festival' first. Didn't she feel it was a bit of a coincidence?"

Angel did mention this to me, and thought that Adam might have been guiding it, but at the time we all thought that Adam was on the side of the Outer Gods, and we became more vigilant, but we didn't consider that everything was serving a more far-reaching plan... Klein's real body hid in the mist of history and kept muttering, while his secret puppet emptied his mind to avoid being discovered by the most powerful audience.

The latter didn't care and continued:

"Of course, letting Bethel Abraham escape from the fate of exile in the vortex is also part of the plan. His return will trigger the ritual of becoming a god, allowing the three copies of Sequence 1 characteristics and corresponding uniqueness sealed in his body to automatically aggregate, and this..."

"It will give Amon a chance to steal the ritual, take his place, and become Sequence 0, right?" Klein took over the conversation and said, "Has He succeeded?"

Although he asked this question, Klein already knew the answer deep in his heart. During the battle with Chick, some of his puppets remained in the real world, and naturally discovered that all the "doors" in the world were opened, and all the seals were invalidated. Then, they were closed and sealed again in an inexplicable error.

With his control over the "Source Castle" and his perception of the higher-level beings in the adjacent paths, he was able to clearly notice that two angel kings had successively become gods.

Combined with his understanding of the "wrong" Sequence 0 promotion ceremony, it is not difficult to guess the details of this process.

Sure enough, Adam nodded slightly and said:

"Yes, He replaced Bethel's ritual and prevented the 'Fallen Mother Goddess' from taking the opportunity to invade the barrier. As a reward for returning the 'Gate', He wanted to give the Wishing Lamp and the internal seal to the 'Uncertain Mist'. Unfortunately, before the vortex ritual ended, the 'Uncertain Mist' was severely damaged and took the initiative to cut off contact, so the transaction could not be completed for the time being.

"With the help of Roselle and the 'Brass Book of Trunsoest', the mystical connection between the 'Uncertain Mist' and the 'Djinn' inside the barrier was greatly strengthened. After I restored its power before its fall and combined it with the severe blow from the 'Profane Slate', it will no longer be able to interfere with anything inside or outside the barrier for 60 years. At the end of the world, there will be one less 'Old One' that the Earth will have to face."

Earth... As long as the trader is killed, there is no need to complete the transaction... Is this the "art of trading"? Is their main purpose really to severely damage the "Uncertain Mist"? Klein looked at the smiling Adam in silence, pondered for a moment, and continued to ask:
"So, you have merged with the 'True Creator' and truly resurrected your father within your body?"

Adam's smile widened:
"I have always been myself, until I fell and the 'real' was born."

"So, there has never been an 'Adam', only... 'Grisha'?" Klein asked in astonishment. The first person that came to his mind was the "Red Angel" Medici, who was designed by "Adam" to be fed to Alistair Tudor. "In the past two thousand years, has anyone else doubted it?"

"The True Creator knows because His essence is part of me. Dark Night may have guessed it, but it was not confirmed until two years ago. As a 'writer', it is not difficult for me to disguise myself as a paranoid who wants my father to be resurrected in my body... I have told Medici everything and reached a reconciliation with Him."

I didn't show any sympathy for Medici, so how could He take the initiative to explain... Looking at Adam's smile through the eyes of the secret doll, Klein suddenly had a guess:
"Between you, is the humanity of the 'True Creator' dominant?"

Adam nodded and said:

"That's right. With the same goal, there's no point in our dealings. I took the initiative to find Him a few months ago, and His requirement was that He be the leader after the fusion. This was inevitable after the failure of the fight for the first 'blasphemous slab', and it would bring certain variables to the future... What I have to lose is just a certain degree of my self."

A few months ago... No wonder Amon has not appeared since I established "Yharnam". Without the help of "His" brother, the invasion of my secret town will most likely fail, and we may even lose some of the Beyonder characteristics... Klein suddenly realized and asked:

"Have you been waiting for this opportunity of 'Vortex' for the past few months?"

"This is the most crucial thing, and you must arrange the time well. When you fight the 'Original Witch', you must guide the power of the Chaos Sea. This will make Her lose all the abilities of 'Omniscience and Omnipotence', giving you the opportunity to kill Her completely.

"Not only for you, but also to confirm another thing."

Adam looked straight ahead and answered with a gentle expression.

Another thing? Klein was curious, but knew that now was not the time to ask.

Through the other party's answer, he confirmed that even the battle between Angel and the "Original Witch" Chick was arranged, and to achieve this, the "Man in the Mirror" must know a lot of information that neither he nor Angel knew.

After looking at the person in the mirror who had an indifferent expression and was stroking Angel's hair, seemingly not paying any attention to the conversation, Klein turned to Adam and asked:
"So you told Angel's mirror about your plan, asking her to cooperate with you in guiding our actions and to provide assistance in the final battle?"

Adam nodded first, then shook his head and said:

"I did find her and asked her to cooperate, and the result was perfect. The 'Original Witch' fell, Tudor's resurrection was also blocked, and there was no obstacle in front of the 'Destruction Scourge'. The Earth will have one more true Old One.

"But you got one thing wrong. This wasn't my plan, it was hers."

Hers? The plan of the person in the mirror? Klein stared blankly at the single sofa, his doubts becoming more and more obvious:

"But why does she know more than the original? Did you deliberately manipulate Angel's memory to make her forget these things?"

Adam smiled and replied:

"Whether her memory has been manipulated or not, shouldn't you know better since you have dragged her into the historical fog of Sefirah Castle many times?
"The reason why the other Angel knows more is simple. She is the real person. The one you fell in love with is the one in the mirror."
