Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1291 Return and Summary
As soon as he entered the gray fog outside the "Source Castle", Angel felt that these fogs, which originally did not welcome him but did not have any hostile emotions, actually began to resist his arrival.

This can be seen from the gray fog surrounding her, which is thicker than that of Klein the Fool.

I came here after being promoted several times before, and although it also caused some changes in the gray fog, this time it was the strongest... The vigilance and resistance that was almost like the source itself, could it be because of my further improvement in strength? No, it might be related to the "First Creator"... Angel thought, his eyes stayed on Klein, and seeing that he was also looking at the surrounding fog curiously, he smiled and said:

"I just missed a Tarot meeting. How come you all don't seem to recognize me?"

"It's him, not me."

Klein quickly argued and asked Sefirah Castle to disperse the gray fog with his own will. As the master here, his order was faithfully responded to. The fog and the vague hostility that enveloped Angel quickly dissipated.

But he sensed a hint of "grievance" in the gray fog that lingered outside the palace and was unwilling to disappear completely.

Hallucinations, all hallucinations... He collected his thoughts and looked at Angel, whose appearance had not changed much but whose temperament had become more flamboyant and gorgeous. He once again confirmed that she was no longer the "disaster" witch.

"Welcome back, Miss Queen."

He tapped the long bronze table with his knuckles and spoke in a deep voice.

It's so formal, right? Angel was stunned, then he stood up, suppressed his smile, bowed his head, and said:
"Good evening, Mr. Fool. I missed the last Tarot Club. I wonder what kind of punishment I will receive?"

She's so cooperative, there won't be any traps waiting for me later... Klein savored Angel's answer, his heart trembled, and he quickly changed back to a relaxed and casual tone and asked:

"Are you now the 'Doomsday' witch?"

"Well," Angel also stopped the game of "Queen and Fool" and said in a more serious tone, "Not only that, I also accommodated the uniqueness of the 'Witch' path. I am already the true 'Angel King', and I am the Angel King among Angel Kings who possesses the Essence."

According to the information Angel obtained from the Quaternary Age or even earlier history, an archangel who possesses more than one Sequence 1 characteristic is called the "Angel King", but the specific strength also varies greatly depending on the characteristics contained.

Two copies of Sequence 1 are the Angel King, and three copies are the same, but the latter is stronger than the former; and as long as the corresponding uniqueness is accommodated, no matter how many copies of Sequence 1 characteristics are left, they are stronger than any Angel King without uniqueness.

Naturally, those who are more powerful than the previous ones must have three sequence 1 characteristics plus one uniqueness. The only thing missing is true fusion and completion of the ritual to be promoted to the King of Angels of the true God. According to the history Angel knows, it seems that only Mr. "Gate" Bethel Abraham has reached this level.

Between Bethel and the true God, there is the "Angel King among Angel Kings" who controls the power of the source material, which is the state that Angel and Klein are in. They can call on the power of the source material to strengthen the power of their own path to a level close to that of the gods. In addition, they can call on most of the extraordinary abilities below Sequence 0 of the adjacent path, in the form of gifts or direct calls, similar to the enemy they once faced, the "Dark Angel" Sasriel.

Of course, Sasriel relied on the first "blasphemous slate" to indirectly call upon the power of the "Chaos Sea", while Angel's "City of Disaster" was still sealed in the western continent and could only obtain the power of the Red Priest as a "gift". Klein was already the master of the "Source Castle", but he had not yet fully mastered this source essence, making him the strongest of the three examples.

But Angel's "Witch" uniqueness slightly makes up for this. The uniqueness of each path possesses all the authority of the true god of that path. Accommodating it is equivalent to a weakened version of a god of lower status. This is why the unique "Angel King" is stronger than all other combinations.

I didn’t expect that I would be tied with or even surpassed by her just after I surpassed her... Klein muttered to himself, but he was not too frustrated in his heart.

The main reason why he "competed" for this kind of thing was that as a man, he was holding his breath and always felt that he could not fall behind Angel. However, from the perspective of the two of them as a whole, Angel becoming the King of Angels would undoubtedly greatly improve their strength, and...

After knowing that Angel was a man in her previous life, her obsession to surpass me, her being on top at all times, and her carefree temperament all had reasonable explanations... Klein smiled as he watched Angel proudly introduce her own strength. In his heart, he wished that time would stop at this moment forever.

"what happened?"

Noticing Klein's strange expression, Angel tilted his head and asked in confusion.

Although her temperament has changed a bit and she is obviously more confident, this tilted head is still her own... Klein shook his head and answered honestly:

"I feel like you're a little different than before."

"Maybe it's because I've untied the knot in my heart," Angel subconsciously looked down at himself, and then explained, "and knowing the future she faces in another timeline from my other self has given me a sense of urgency about our future."

Sure enough, this was the reason, and "Angel Gray" also told her everything. This was probably the true reconciliation between the original body and the "person in the mirror", right? Speaking of which, there was actually no real difference between Angel and Gray. They should have come directly from the "City of Disaster" into Cole Granger's body. It was just that there was only one Cole here, and there were two Angels, so one of them had to be the "person in the mirror"... Klein's mind kept flashing, and he couldn't help but ask:
"What state is she in now?"

"You still care about Miss Chariot?" Angel smiled, leaned back in his chair, crossed his arms, and glanced at Klein. "She will stay in the City of Disaster most of the time, just like before, so that she can monitor the negative side of the Prime Creator. If necessary, the two of us can fight against the Beyonder characteristics and the spiritual imprints in the uniqueness together. This is equivalent to two against one, and we will have the upper hand."

"But the 'Original Witch' Chike didn't have such an advantage at the time?" Klein asked thoughtfully.

"I'm afraid he hasn't reconciled with his 'mirror person'. When I destroyed all of his mirror selves to prevent him from resurrecting through them, I discovered that one of them was a male Chick... If the original body and the mirror person truly reconcile, the latter will become the former's appearance, which can be used as a backup for the mirror's resurrection and a helper in battle." No wonder the "Original Witch" could only rely on herself when fighting against the "original negative side" whose consciousness was gradually awakening. This resulted in almost no legends about him for more than a thousand years after the Pale Disaster... Klein supplemented his historical knowledge, nodded with satisfaction, and said:
"Does Gray still have a chance to leave the mirror world and come to reality... Well, since she comes from the end of the future and has been busy saving our world, I think she has the right to enjoy everything in this world."

"Yeah, I think so too." Angel didn't have any special thoughts because Klein mentioned another "self". Instead, he nodded in agreement. "In my spare time, I will replace her so that she can also come to the real world and relax... Unfortunately, there won't be many such opportunities. After solving the problem of 'Blood Emperor' Tudor, she should be even busier."

It contained a portion of Tudor the Conqueror and the positive side of the Prime Creator... each portion of Source Essence contained pits of varying sizes... Klein thought of this hidden danger that also needed to be resolved, and sighed helplessly.

Angel obviously thought of the same thing as him. The smile on his face slowly faded away, and he continued:
"Although the original Creator in the mirror gave up the chance to be resurrected this time, it does not mean that there will be no hidden dangers. When I truly take in the characteristics and corresponding uniqueness of the Conqueror, both Tudor himself and the positive side of the Creator may induce more problems... This is not something that can be avoided by choosing a Sequence 1 characteristic, because all characteristics have been taken in by the Blood Emperor...

"Fortunately, my condition is more stable than before, and I will be promoted to a true god first, accommodating the 'City of Disaster' and then accommodating the adjacent paths. Although this will have the symbol of 'yin and yang', it will focus on the 'witch' rather than the complete fusion envisioned by Chick and Tudor."

This is probably the only way to prevent the "Prime Creator" from reviving and create the "Destruction of Natural Disaster" of the past, but did the first and greatest existence really not think of this... Klein frowned, put his worries into his mind, and thought of another acquaintance in the dream city:
"What about Chike? Has his consciousness completely dissipated?"

Angel shook his head and said:
"It's not that easy. Although his consciousness is weaker than that of the 'Prime Creator', he is also a true god who has contained these extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness for more than two thousand years. His spirit is deeply imprinted in it. I'm afraid it can only be slowly worn away over time... Before this, he was actually my helper in fighting against the 'Prime'."

Thinking of Chick who had been pestering Angel in the dream city, Klein felt a little scared. He was glad that the witch no longer had a body and only the mark of her extraordinary characteristics remained.

"Does this make it more difficult for you to digest and accommodate the 'Doomsday' feature?"

he continued to ask.

From the perspective of fighting against the spiritual imprint of the original Creator, the Celestial Lord, and God, the consciousness of the "previous owner" within the Beyonder characteristics can be a boost, but simply accommodating and digesting the characteristics of Sequence 1, their consciousness is a certain hindrance, and may even cause loss of control.

As expected, Angel sighed, smiled, and said:
"Of course it's more difficult, but it's better than facing the Prime Creator directly. In addition, in the battle that caused the fall of the Original Witch, I brought doomsday to a true god and played a corresponding role in advance. The first batch of Sequence 1 potion has been almost digested. Next, I can gradually try to absorb the other two batches of Doomsday characteristics and finally become a true Witch."

As for the ceremony of promotion to the true God, Angel has nothing to worry about. The negative side of the "Prime Creator" in her body can completely replace the role of the "Sea of ​​Chaos", and when accommodating the uniqueness, the "Mirror World" is re-established, which is equivalent to completing the requirements for establishing the Kingdom of God.

Moreover, I always feel that the ritual requirement of maintaining one's self after being exposed to the pollution of the Chaos Sea is God's private goods. After all, the first blasphemous stone tablet appeared in the Chaos Sea, and it is very likely that it was transformed from God's corpse. This will help Him to use the "City of Disaster" to resurrect and immediately master the power of the Chaos Sea... Angel thought about it and discussed this issue with Klein. The two of them reached a consensus:
The "Original Witch" Chike was most likely harmed by that God!
Of course, this pillar should have discovered that he and the "Prime Creator" had chosen the same resurrection tool, and immediately gave up the "City of Disaster" and tried to use some methods to prevent the initial revival. Unfortunately, the formation of the "special mirror world" in the Quaternary was due to many coincidences, which was not something that he alone could control.

"Fortunately, He gave up the City of Disaster, otherwise you would have to fight against one more spiritual imprint... In addition, Grisha Adam suspects that the God has revived in the body of the Eternal Blazing Sun, at least partially, and He will gradually take back the authority of the Lord of Storms, the God of Wisdom, and the Eternal Blazing Sun, and return to the pillar status of the Omniscient and Almighty. In the future, I am afraid that a war between gods will break out in the barrier."

Klein briefly repeated Grisha's inference to Angel, and then summarized it himself:
“Whether Grisha will help Amon or not, Amon and I will have a decisive battle for Sefirah Castle. Next, I will follow the best method the Goddess has told me. I will first find Zaratul, take in his “Secret Servant” characteristics, and then become the “Fool” to fight against Amon.”

In this matter, what he was most worried about was that Zaratul would be found by the brothers Adam and Amon... no, father and son in advance, and his Sequence 1 characteristics would be taken away. In this way, Klein could only use the power of Sequence 1 to fight against the two true gods. Even if he took the risk of accommodating the uniqueness and the Sequence 1 from the "curtain" first, his condition would not be much better.

His only advantage is that Angel and the Goddess are on his side, forming a certain degree of checks and balances. In order to "collect debts" from his angel kings, the "true creator" Grisha Adam might give up supporting Amon in exchange for the acquiescence and help of other gods. Otherwise, judging from the current situation of the barrier, the loss of any other god may lead to the early arrival of doomsday.

Thinking about it this way, I still have a big advantage, but it's a pity that most of the fighting power lies in others instead of myself... He smiled self-deprecatingly, and gained a little more confidence in the subsequent battle for "Source Castle".

I only have a little bit of confidence. To be honest, I may not be able to beat Angel now... He asked with a thought:

"After being promoted to Sequence 1, what changes have occurred in your abilities?"

"The strengthening of the original ability and the power to bring everything to doom and destruction are the corresponding powers obtained after mastering the 'uniqueness'. In addition, it can also make the surrounding things become the concept of 'feminine', such as a man becoming a woman." At this point, Angel glanced at Klein, reminding him of the changes in his own state during the battle with Chick. "Finally, there is also the strengthening of physical fitness..."

Hearing Angel's pointed words, Klein was startled, then he started laughing.

The environment they were in changed immediately, from a palace shrouded in gray fog to a small but warm room with a bookshelf, a table and chairs by the window, and a made bed.

This is... the house on Minsk Street in the Cherwood District of Backlund... the guest room where I stayed when I lost control that night... Angel looked around and immediately reacted, feeling his cheeks getting hot.

She immediately looked at Klein angrily. After noticing an ambiguous smile on his face, she rushed over in anger.

"Are you going to try the power of the 'Doomsday' witch?!"

Bang! The fragile magician was pushed onto the bed by the witch again.

PS: I don’t know if there will be any tonight…if it’s not posted, it doesn’t exist.
