Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1294 I've seen your tricks before

The reason why Angel asked for his "reward" before the ceremony began was not because he was worried that Abraham and others would run away after the ceremony was completed, but because he was afraid that after Bethel Abraham was resurrected with the help of a "Star Key", due to the powerful aggregation effect, he would subconsciously want to accommodate the other Sequence 1 characteristics present and directly absorb it.

It's no big deal if He loses control because of this, but it will be troublesome if He doesn't lose control. I can't kill the newly resurrected Mr. "Door" on the spot to get my reward back, so it's better to rob him from the beginning... Angel muttered, waiting patiently for the descendants of Abraham to make a decision.

With her current strength, even if these "apprentices" in front of her who were not even demigods used their own power or the power of the seal to initiate teleportation, what would land on the other side would only be a corpse. Even if they managed to escape by chance, the curse passed down through blood could affect every descendant of Abraham and cause them to die silently.

After learning about the perverted possessiveness of "Original Witch" Chick, Angel even suspected that the reason why there were so few descendants of "Blood Emperor" Tudor was because of the curse of this god. He did not want any descendants who were not of his and Tudor's common blood to exist in the world, so that Tudor would have no chance of resurrection except with his help.

Angel was impressed by Chick's extreme behavior in his heart, while Dorian and the other Abrahams secretly exchanged glances and did not object to the request of the angel under the Fool's seat.

The ceremony has been arranged, and the "Star Key" that carries the hope for the revival of Abraham's family has been placed on the altar. Since the other party only asks for another copy as a reward, it is equivalent to guaranteeing the completion of the ceremony.

Having made up his mind, Dorian carefully handed the "Star Key" which was still sealed but in an unstable form to Angel. The latter took it and felt the rhythm inside this palm-sized, key-shaped extraordinary property. He had the illusion that it would be "teleported" away from him at any time and go to an unknown space.

Perhaps it is not an illusion. According to Klein, one of the powers of the "Gate" path is "space". The special mirror world where Tudor and Chick intertwined and the "Prime Creator" appeared was created by Bethel with this authority... This means that although the paths are not adjacent, the "Gate" can also strengthen my power in the mirror world?

Even if the "Star Key" does not become a seal, it itself has the symbol of a "key" that can unlock or strengthen all seals and go to any place. If I rely on its help, can I break through the seal of the Western Continent without relying on secret rituals and go there in the form of a physical body rather than a spirit?

No... it shouldn't be possible. That's the seal of the pillar "Lord of Mysteries". At least it takes the Old Ones to have a chance to break through. Even true gods can't do it. If the "Door" can break the seal, it should have tried before the ancient Sun God fell, instead of leaving "Moon City" next to the seal waiting for Klein to appear... Can the secret ceremony plus the "Star Key" do it together?
Angel thought about it, and sent this feature into the mirror world for preservation. Then he nodded and said:

"You can start."

With the consent of the only angel present, several Abrahams got busy. They filled the empty spaces on the altar with the last few gems, lit the ritual candles, and dripped precious essential oils, which gave the surrounding diamonds, pearls, lapis lazuli, and purple gems a layer of ever-changing light.

Dorian, who presided over the ceremony, stood in front of the altar and recited in the ancient giant language with a solemn expression:

"The great Gate of Ten Thousand Doors, the guide to the endless starry sky, the key to all mysterious worlds..."

As he repeated the honorific name of Bethel Abraham seven times, a void-like darkness emerged from the candles on the altar. The psychedelic glow illuminated the entire hall, making the walls and pillars seem a little erratic, as if they were overlapping with the spiritual world.

Ninety-nine kinds of expensive gems shattered with a crackling sound, turned into powders of various colors that floated up, gathered into a torrent of brilliant colors and poured into the candlelight. Ninety-nine portions of blood of Abraham's family members seeped out and evaporated from the crystal bottles, forming a vague human outline above the candlelight.

A deep, dim light also emerged from the "Key of the Stars" placed in the center of the altar, illuminating the human figure in the air.

Seeing this, Angel quietly pulled the entire house and the surrounding space into the "mirror world".

Because of the huge difference in status, no one present, including the "Mystic Mage" Fors, realized that they were no longer in reality. Only Klein, who was watching the ceremony in the gray fog, noticed this.

But he no longer had the heart to think about this matter. His entire body and mind were focused on the bloody human figure on the candlelight, carefully trying to determine whether there was any contamination of the "Fallen Mother Goddess" left in it.

Everything seems to be normal, but we can't let our guard down. There are two Mr. "Doors". One is shouting to save me, and the other is trying to stop this... Not sure, let's wait and see... He put the uniqueness of "The Fool" at hand and continued to observe the resurrection ceremony through Angel's crimson star.

Suddenly, the figure of the middle-aged man, who had almost taken shape and looked a little old-fashioned, became blurred again, as if two people were nested together and waves appeared. A voice that contained hidden pain and could pierce the spirit body rang out in the hall:

"Descendants of Abraham, help me fight against my other self!"

Another Him? Dorian, who was presiding over the ceremony, was startled and looked up, only to find that the figure in the air was vaguely splitting into two.

One of them had a clearer outline, with rippling blue eyes full of emotion, staring at Dorian; the other one was translucent, with exactly the same empty black hair mixed with a few white hairs, and a more anxious expression, trying to completely overlap with the previous one again, as if to pull Him back into the altar and return to the "Star Key".

How can I help? Under your "care", we don't even have a demigod anymore... Dorian subconsciously turned his head to look at his student and the "Golden Queen" beside her, and then he found that the latter had an intoxicating smile on her lips, and was looking up at the stacked human figures in the air with her elegant swan neck.

The human figure that was about to overlap again also looked over and uttered a surprised voice:
"Is it you? I remember you, the witch favored by the night."

Really? Coincidentally, I remember you too… Angel’s smile turned cold, and he locked onto the clearer figure among the two without hesitation, and took Him with him into another “mirror world”.

That special mirror world that was abandoned after the fall of the "Original Witch" and no one can enter.

Fors, Dorian and the others only felt a flash before their eyes, and the "Golden Queen" and one of the overlapping human figures in the air disappeared, leaving only the other translucent "Mr. Door" floating above the altar, shrouded in dim candlelight, like a phantom.

After getting rid of his other self, his expression became dull. His sapphire-like eyes swept across the entire hall, finally stopping at Fors, who had no blood of his own but was the highest-ranked person among the people present. There was a hint of sadness in his eyes.

"I'm sorry..." The first words He said were an apology.

----

In a special mirror world burning with everlasting black flames, the edges were half-melted, and the space became extremely chaotic. Angel and "Bethel Abraham" appeared at the same time, floating in the weightless air.

This place has a certain connection with the "Prime Creator". Angel does not intend to use it as his future kingdom of God, but because it has some kind of mystical connection with other derived special mirror worlds, it will be destroyed if it is destroyed, so it still retains its existence.

After all, there are many special mirror people in other places who were born due to various accidents over the past thousands of years, as well as Empress Roselle who helped her.

Returning to a familiar place, Bethel looked around, his expression gradually becoming sinister, as if he had changed his face under the illumination of the black flames.

His eyes, which were filled with ripples but without any emotion, stared at Angel and asked:

"Why choose me?"

"I don't know Him, but I know you," Angel replied with a smile, "Besides, I've seen this state of yours in another person. The fake one is always full of desire to show off."

Another... Bethel had obvious doubts on his face:

"Roselle Gustave?"

Oh, I almost forgot that Emperor Roselle had also been contaminated... What I actually wanted to talk about was the time with the real and fake Klein... Angel was startled, then nodded:

"It's Him."

The person he led to the moon and was contaminated by the "Fallen Mother Goddess" led to his identity being exposed, which made Bethel's expression even more gloomy. However, his brows soon relaxed and he said softly:

"To you, it doesn't matter which Bethel it is. I have His memories and the same personality. It doesn't affect my becoming the Key to the Stars and the angel under the seat of the Fool.

"The Abraham family will become the most loyal believers of the Fool. I also know the weaknesses of 'Error' Amon, and can help the Fool win the battle for Sefirah Castle.

“You don’t have to do it yourself, I can fix the problem myself.

"It's okay to just be a 'planeswalker'..."

With every word Bethel said, Angel's expression turned a little colder.

"wrong answer."

She shook her head, unwilling to watch this new personality, who had the face of Mr. "Gate", the strongest angel king, begging for mercy in such a shameful manner, continue to perform, and instead stretched out her hand to summon the "Blood Flag of Salinger".

The black flames floating by his side immediately turned colorless, and the entire special mirror world was shrouded in the power of "conquering" that made people unable to help but kneel down.

Bethel Abraham's body immediately became transparent, and in the gaps between the colorless flames, countless figures emerged at the same time and attacked Angel at the same time. All kinds of angel-level air bombs, thefts, flaming spears, and executions were recorded and poured down on Angel. Angel's body also twisted, and the thread of his spirit was grabbed by someone. His body shrank like a toy, and the surrounding space twisted at the same time, as if to form a closed loop to isolate him.

But all these Bethels are just wandering shadows. The real Him has become a symbol of the concept of "wandering" itself, and is about to leave this special mirror world, return to reality, and escape to the astral world.

But he hit the wall at the edge of the melted mirror world and turned into a human form again. The phantoms formed by the high-speed flash also stopped attacking and disappeared one after another.

This space has been completely isolated from other mirror worlds and the entire reality, becoming a spatial cage that even He cannot penetrate!

Looking back at the location surrounded by the colorless flames, Bethel discovered that the besieged Angel had already merged into the mirror world, making all attacks fall into the air. A childlike, innocent voice without any enchanting power sounded in his ears:

"Haha, I was wondering why I suddenly had the urge to ask for another copy of the 'Star Key' before the ceremony began. It turns out it was for this moment."

Bethel's fists stiffened at the pretentious and silly voice.
