Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1337 Are You Really You? (Two in One)

“When did you find out?

"Why are you here now?"

The Giant of Light "Eternal Sun" asked.

His voice was transmitted directly into the mind of the equally huge humanoid figure formed by his own shadow, but the two "Light Chasers" beside him did not react at all. They only saw their Lord, and the shadow of the deity they believed in seemed to have turned into another person and was confronting their Lord.

Similarly, the words of Grisha Adam, the "real creator" who emerged from the shadows and had five heads, but only the one in the middle had a clear face and an illusory body outline, were directly transmitted to Osekus' mind, as if the two were communicating through consciousness and mind:
"Do you think that I am still using the ability of 'Dreamer' to maintain his mental state, help him maintain his sanity, and be able to relax the suppression of the 'Lord of Mysteries' and invade Sefirah Castle?
“It’s just a clone.

"Early when Redemption Rose assassinated me and I was preparing to revive myself with the Hanged Man as the cornerstone to isolate myself from the original influence, I noticed the unusual activity of the Sun. But at that time I just thought that both of them were the paths to true gods that accompanied me when I left the Chaos Sea and entered this world. They were originally affected the most severely. Moreover, after the end of the Third Era, the Six Gods became hostile to me, so I couldn't verify this further."

The head in the middle of the shadow giant gradually changed into one with facial features similar to the original "Dreamer" Adam, with tougher contours and dark black hair. Grisha seemed to be clearly telling the other party that the one in charge at this time was the "real creator" who was resurrected from the body of the "Ancient Sun God" and took away the path of the "Hanged Man".

Meanwhile, the soft voice and even tone continued to echo in Osekus' mind.

“After the seal of the East Continent was lifted, I left there to chase Adam. I used the ‘blasphemous slate’ to contain and control the Chaos Sea, and also used it to attract the attention of ‘Origin’. Adam went deep into the underground of Trier many times and found many hidden secrets.

"But in the end, it was confirmed that you had a problem because of a seal that recorded the birth of the 'Feast of Betrayal' and the 'Sun'.

"As early as the Feast of Betrayal, the 'Origin' awakened in your body."

These accusatory words caused the "Eternal Sun" Osaykus to fall silent.

Because what Grisha Adam said was correct, the other self he had been dealing with and fighting against for more than two thousand years was none other than the "God" who had resurrected within him.

Moreover, Grisha's conclusion was slightly wrong. Before the betrayal, there was a shadow inside the "Sun". The two Sequence 1 Beyonder Characteristics that the ancient Sun God excreted from his body and bestowed upon his Angel Kings contained the "original" will and spiritual imprint.

At times, Osekus would even lose himself, as if he had become another Him, a colder Him who was like a bystander of everything.

Because of this, the seeds of betrayal were planted in the "Redemption Rose" when it was founded. When the sun god fell and the angel kings had the opportunity to be promoted to true gods, the "Pure White Angel" took his share without hesitation. Because they were worried that they would be devoured later, and because of the sudden surge of aggregation for unknown reasons, the other two angel kings followed suit.

After that incident, the three newly ascended gods tacitly regarded the two sons of the Sun God as blasphemers, became hostile to the "True Creator", and eventually unified the Northern Continent, driving the latter back to the "God-forsaken Land", and buried this secret in their hearts.

During these two thousand years, Osaycus finally managed to reach a balance with the revived "Origin" in his body, controlled the alienated self, and was able to borrow the power of the "Chaos Sea" to a certain extent, but he had to be careful, otherwise the fragile balance would be broken.

The memories in his mind quickly faded, and the giant of light projected by the Eternal Sun said with difficulty:
"It wasn't me who betrayed then...but now, I am still me."

Although he now feels guilty for his betrayal, he does not intend to surrender and give up everything. Instead, he wants to compete fairly with his former master to seize the extremely precious and necessary position of "the Old One" when the end of the world comes.

This is the proud "sun".

As if hearing his inner voice, the giant formed by the shadow smiled, and a similarly smiling voice rang in Osekus' mind:

“Are you really still you?
"Why did you plan to severely damage the Shadow Tree just now but end up completely destroying it? This will give the Mother Tree of Desire the opportunity to control the Abyss, allowing it to use an Angel King as bait to get a true God inside the barrier.

"If Angel Grey hadn't relocated all the residents of Trier, the disaster brought by the 'Abyss' would have erupted everywhere by now."

The darkness on the Giant of Light's face began to expand again, almost covering His entire handsome face.

He said nothing and did not refute Grisha's statement.

The latter continued the extremely fast dialogue between the mind and the subconscious:

"Let me guess. Initially, you did reach a balance with God, and were able to master some of the power of Omniscience without losing yourself. But this was actually because the pressure of His resurrection was not only reflected in you, but appeared in multiple places at the same time. This is the biggest difference between Him and Tianzun. Tianzun can be resurrected in multiple alternative bodies at the same time, while the upper limit of God's pressure is fixed.

"He once contained the 'Shadow World', which caused Fabuti to have the pressure of the 'Origin' awakening in his body. This happened to balance the pollution of the 'Mother Tree of Desire', allowing him to rely on the help of other gods to barely maintain his existence. And the true gods of the two paths of the 'City of Disaster', Tudor and Chick, also took the initiative to release the suppression of 'God' in order to balance the power of the original creator, sharing a lot of your pressure.

"But the essence of the Shadow World still comes from the characteristics of the 'Mother Tree of Desire', and the 'City of Disaster' contains a variety of problems. The Original God finally chose you, the cornerstone that is most suitable for Him to return to His pillar status, the 'Sun'.

"Am I right?

"Original God?"

"Eternal Sun" continued to remain silent.

Suddenly, dark spots like sunspots appeared all over his radiant giant body. They quickly merged and almost covered the entire giant of light.

And in the starry world, the "sun" which was a concrete rather than an abstract symbol was also enveloped in darkness. It was burning fiercely and emitting light to support the barrier, but suddenly it became dim.

A voice so ancient that it seemed to have come from across history sounded in Grisha's ears:

"so what?"

This familiar voice, which seemed to never fade away in his mind, silenced Grisha Adam.

The ancient voice continued:
"The problem you are facing now is the erosion of the Outer Gods, the threat of the barrier breaking and the end of the world. The opportunity to merge into the Old Ones is fleeting, and time is obviously not enough.

"But if I return now, I will end all possibilities of doomsday. The Fallen Mother Goddess only needs the Mother Nest, and the Mother Tree of Desire wants to complete the Shadow World. As for the other Outer Gods, they do not pose a threat.

"Isn't protecting this world in their hands what you most want, what you would rather sacrifice yourself to accomplish?

"Or do you want us to merge with each other and compete fairly for dominance? No matter how long it takes, the winner will still be me. You've experienced it once, right?"

The voice sounded like a threat, a temptation, and an exhortation, making the shadow over Grisha Adam even heavier, almost completely covering the only part of his face that was exposed: his head.

"But you have cooperated with the Outer Gods."

He said suddenly.

"The transaction was concluded most likely when I entered Angel Granger's dream. At that time, the hidden sage controlled by the 'Fallen Mother Goddess' made Townsend Neil appear in the dream, and the angel Viev of the 'Sun' also appeared. This may be a projection of some of Angel's wishes, but it is more likely that your actions interfered with the content of the dream." In dreams involving the 'Prime Creator', even the true gods and the Old Ones will be restricted, and prophecies and divinations will be completely ineffective. It is the safest place for transactions.

"Completely burning the Shadow Tree and sacrificing the entire Trier is one of the terms of the deal, or a prerequisite. This will help the Mother Tree of Desire invade the barrier, preserve its initial investment, and give it the opportunity to obtain the source it needs first when the barrier is broken.

"Unfortunately, one of your earliest arrangements, Angel Grey, got out of control and in turn prevented Trill's sacrifice. Currently, two of the three Sources in the barrier are unable to exert influence on the earth. Can your contract with them still be carried out?"

In front of Grisha, the giant whose face sometimes turned into the handsome and energetic Oseikus and sometimes just emitted light nodded without objection and said:
“Your guess is correct.

"But the battle in Sefirah Castle is about to be decided. Without your help, your offspring, the Error that I tore off from Guile, will not be able to win.

"Aren't you worried that the new 'secret' will settle everything and bury you?"

Grisha laughed again, and the face in the shadow kept changing, becoming extremely arrogant and wanton.

“Without my help, the battle for Sefirah Castle will become fierce. Amon and Klein will release their suppression of the will of the Celestial Lord in order to compete for Sefirah Castle authority and compete to see who is closer to the pillar. This time, Amon will not lack courage.

"You can predict the final result, right?"

The ancient voice did not answer for a long time.

----

Above the spirit world, in the gray fog controlled by Sefirah Castle.

Klein looked at Amon, who was at the other end of the long table, with a relaxed expression. He wanted to take the initiative several times, but he held back in the end.

He had a feeling in his soul that the other party came to Sefirah Castle to find him this time not for a "Sefirah Castle Battle" in the eyes of outsiders.

Of course, this could also be an illusion caused by "error" using some loophole, so he did not give up the secret fight for the authority of "Source Castle", and always paid attention to the movements of his believers. At the same time, he tried his best to use words to get some information from Amon.

"So, 'Eternal Blazing Sun' is no longer himself?"

He asked carefully, feeling a little emotional.

When he traveled to this world, the first item he obtained that truly possessed high-sequence-level lethality was the "Yangyan Talisman", which came from the "Mutated Sun Holy Emblem" stained with the blood of the Eternal Sun God. Although the process of making the talisman was a bit bumpy, he still had some special feelings for this god who had brought him "warmth".

"Intermittently," Amon replied with a smile, and crossed his legs to make his sitting position more comfortable. "This is also the reason why the Eternal Blazing Sun Church has the most drastic means of spreading its faith among all the orthodox churches. Its need for believers and anchors is higher than that of other gods."

No wonder the Eternal Sun's "Purifiers" would arrest pagans and take them to the Inquisition at any time. And the reason why Intis rashly participated in the world war was not only the war between gods, but also the need for believers... Klein pondered.

Amon continued:

"Based on the information obtained from Angel Gray, my father, who has regained control of the dual paths, has deduced many things through the authority of 'omniscience'. For example, the 'God' is likely to sign a contract with the Outer Gods to seek help in order to be resurrected before the new Lord of Mysteries appears, especially the 'Fallen Mother Goddess' who is immortal based on the symbol of 'reality'.

"Because of the special relationship between the two, the Fallen Mother Goddess is likely to use certain arrangements to strengthen the similarities between 'Eternal Blazing Sun' and 'God'. This will greatly increase the degree of the latter's revival, causing the Eternal Blazing Sun, which has barely achieved a balance, to lose control immediately and become the vessel for the resurrection of the pillar."

"Similarity?"

Klein had the illusion that he was caught up in an academic discussion, and subconsciously asked back.

"There are many ways to do this, such as strengthening the Eternal Blazing Sun as a symbol of 'the only existence'. If successful, it will be more in line with the characteristics of God as one of the original personality aspects. Another example is... making the Eternal Blazing Sun a symbol of 'father'. This is very much like what the Fallen Mother Goddess would do. Moreover, He has some entanglements with that God on this point..."

Amon smiled as he whispered the secret past of the two pillars.

"You may not know that in the dark and chaotic First Age, that God gave birth to a pair of divine sons with the source 'mother nest' that was torn into the barrier. You must have heard of one of them. She is the giant queen, the 'harvest goddess' Omybella."

That pillar-level Old One, together with a portion of Essence, gave birth to the Son of God?
Klein felt his head buzzing, as if he had been struck by Amon's "blind stupidity." It took him a while to come back to his senses.

It is not with the "Fallen Mother Goddess" of the Old Days, who is obviously a female, nor is it with some creatures that are not human, but with a collection of concepts and authorities, and even the source that is not even a living thing?
Isn't that "God" too strong? Compared to him, the "Tianzun" is quite handsome... Is that right? Did they do something to Sefirah Castle? Klein subconsciously looked at the gray fog around him.

Seeing him dumbfounded, Amon pressed his monocle with satisfaction and continued:
"This may be due to the characteristics of the source substance, or it may be because the God has already contained multiple source substances and has fallen into madness, but subconsciously wants to do something to save everything... In short, He and the 'Mother Nest' have a pair of offspring, a pair of siblings, and the Mother Nest comes from the symbol and authority of the 'Fallen Mother Goddess', so there is a basis for cooperation between the two.

"And if 'God' is initially revived in the body of the Eternal Blazing Sun, in order to strengthen this symbol, we only need to make Him the father of a pair of siblings. Of course, it is definitely not that simple. The similarity in the sense of mysticism must meet many conditions to take effect, but I went to Intis in the process of accommodating the 'gate' path and found some clues that they have already started to act.

"For example, in a remote village in the Dariege region, a priest of the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun who has never been recognized is being tempted by followers of the Outer Gods. For example, in the port of Layak in the Leiston Province, a 'Purifier' quietly converted to the Outer Gods... These arrangements have not yet taken effect, but they will definitely erupt before the end of the world, leading to the problems of the 'Eternal Blazing Sun'."

This... I thought you were lurking around and planning how to deal with me and how to take away the "Source Castle". It turns out that you are also working for the Earth and saving the world? Klein's expression was a little strange. He suddenly remembered that when the goddess descended to the "Mother of Heaven", she said that Amon was the "Angel of Redemption". He felt a little sad.

But he immediately became alert, thinking that this master of deception was most likely using words to deceive him in order to reduce his hostility so as to gain an advantage in the subsequent battle.

"Why are you telling me all this?"

He asked carefully.

"First of all, you asked this question," Amon sneered and replied, "Secondly, these things are not told to you, but to Him."

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at the gray fog in the sky, and the strange light door in the distance that emitted a bluish-black light.

He... Klein immediately understood:

Amon had the same idea as him, using the possibility of God's resurrection to balance the "God of Heaven".

He knew that the two pillars were fighting to the death and each hoped that the other would sleep forever. Didn't Grisha Adam, who had also seen Gray and had even been resurrected by the "Original God", know this?

So, is He using this incident to gain an advantage for Himself now?
PS: That’s all for today…
