Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1360 "Destructive Natural Disaster" is used in this way
The "Red Priest" pathway, which can be obtained in the middle sequence, involves "Weakness Detection." Essentially, it involves analyzing the target, finding imbalances and contradictions within them, and then triggering these weaknesses through physical damage. This can almost guarantee a one-hit kill against enemies of the same level.

The "Witch" pathway, which possesses the "Disaster" ability only at higher sequences, can trigger existing problems within the target's body, causing it to split and collapse from the inside out, creating a true catastrophe and apocalypse.

These two paths lead to the same goal: the source material "City of Calamity" is a symbol of disaster and destruction. Although their specific functions differ—"Weakness" is a fatal attack from the outside in, while "Calamity" is an outbreak of contradictions from the inside out—both require the existence of contradictions and imbalances within the target. Conversely, as long as there is a problem, an attack targeting it will be effective.

This is why Angel, having just become Sequence 0, possessed the power to severely injure and kill the "Eternal Sun" and the "God" within Him who was undergoing a resurrection process. Before truly resurrecting and becoming a pillar-level Old One again, the contradictions and problems within God were no less than those of Ocycus, who struggled with himself for thousands of years.

But now, the self-awareness born from the "City of Calamity" and the "evil dragon" do not have such an obvious and exploitable fatal weakness in Angel's eyes.

He was pierced and bound by the Dragon-Locking Chains, and suppressed and sealed in the well for thousands of years. These were his weaknesses, but not fatal. They only restricted his movements and weakened his strength. Even if Angel used these weaknesses, he could not truly kill the evil dragon. Instead, he might harm the key to the seal, the Demon Chains, and help it escape.

However, this does not mean that Angel cannot take advantage of the problems with the evil dragon.

Back when Angel visited the Western Continent during his last Deep Secret Alliance visit, he had an in-depth exchange with the contemporary "Celestial Master" and learned about the history of the Evil Dragon before it was sealed away.

Among these, the most important are the many high-ranking individuals in the Western Continent who have attained the Dao with the "City of Calamity".

These remnants of consciousness and spiritual imprints, mixed with the source matter and imbued with a few thoughts and inclinations, are the biggest problem within the evil dragon. Angel, as a true god and favored by the "City of Calamity," holds a slightly lower position than the source matter's own will, but this is still enough to trigger the "problem" within the evil dragon!
As Angel's fingertips touched the point where the three heads of the evil dragon, bound by chains and restrained by demons, were connected, the city-sized monster froze in place, and phantoms flew out of its body as if fleeing.

Just like when the conquerors within the Trinity of the "Red Angel" evil spirit, afflicted by the "betrayal" curse, scattered and fled in all directions.

At the same time, the "Mirror World" summoned by Angel also descended here, combining with the seals that the Dao Accomplishers outside the well had deliberately relaxed, forming a peculiar space in this sea of ​​blood that was half reality and half mirror.

This allows Angel and Gray to use their mirror-related abilities such as Stands and Curses. While the "Evil Dragon" is the consciousness of the Source itself and also possesses these abilities, it is greatly restricted by the seal, unable to create mirror Stands or its own "Mirror Dragon," and is bound in place like a live target.

Of course, at this moment, the evil dragon no longer cared about the blood sea surrounding its "mirror world". The eyes of its left dragon head were stained with blood, and the beautiful face of its right human head became crazed. Even the head formed by the chaotic vortex between the two, which only had holes for facial features, spewed out liquid containing all colors.

At the same time, the consciousness of all the Dao-mergers deposited within His body "betrayed" Him, escaping from His body, leaving the evil dragon with only the instincts after the source matter was activated, without any further thinking ability.

He is crazy!
In the surrounding sea of ​​blood, in this space that was slowly shrouded by the mirror world and became dim, the remaining wills of those who escaped the evil dragon outlined their bodies more clearly.

Some were burly men with thick beards, standing beside mountains of enemy corpses; some were emperors who frolicked in pools of wine and forests of meat, dissecting the hearts of loyal ministers who offered advice; some were beautiful and charming women offered to the palace to wreak havoc on the country; and some were cold and aloof concubines who only smiled when lighting beacon fires to amuse the feudal lords…

The figures of Daoists from the "City of Calamity," some known to Angel and others unknown, became clearer in the mirror world, forming somber figures with deep black eyes. Some bowed in submission to the evil dragon and Grey, while others drifted towards Angel's snake-haired figure, whose appearance became increasingly alluring. They seemed to have a desire to get closer, but most merely watched the battle between the will of the "City of Calamity" and the challengers with cold indifference.

These remnant souls didn't have much independent consciousness, nor did they possess the ambitions, joys, sorrows, or anger they had in life. They would follow whoever won.

Surrounded by these tyrants, favored concubines, and beauties, the evil dragon's crazed black head opened its massive maw and roared once more.

An indescribable madness and a destructive aura once again enveloped the sea of ​​blood. The evil spirits, who had also entered a semi-real, semi-mirror world and continued to restrain the evil dragon with chains, were affected by the "conquest" and their bodies trembled uncontrollably. On the one hand, they wanted to obey the command of the Daoist of the "River of Eternal Darkness," and on the other hand, they longed to join the "City of Calamity" and become a part of the massive army.

The human head atop the white snake, which had lost much of its mind and was acting purely on instinct, subconsciously used the power that had just affected it. Its crazed blue eyes were fixed on Angel, whose figure was growing larger, her black dress like fire, and her snake hair flowing, attempting to detonate the "problem" within her.

It requires the union of Yin and Yang, the fusion of the two paths of power, to accommodate the source matter and advance the true god of the two paths of the ancient calamity. How could the power within the body be completely balanced and without any problems?
The figure of Angel, which appeared deep in His eyes, became illusory. The black curse flames belonging to the "witch" and the invisible and colorless flames of the "red priest" merged within him, yet there was an imbalance that could be easily perceived. The "witch" was clearly stronger than the "red priest".

This is the "problem" that can cause the whole thing to collapse from the inside out!
Just as the evil dragon's right head was about to attack this fatal weakness, it suddenly discovered a chaotic vortex that encompassed all colors and contained all possibilities between the black and colorless flames.

The vortex somewhat reluctantly separated the powers of the "witch" and the "red priestess," and selectively replenished the weaker part, instantly making the three into a unified whole, indestructible and without any flaws.

Or rather, the "problem" at this level is beyond what the evil dragon can discover or utilize. It belongs to the power of the "original creator," which is far superior to the ordinary Old Ones, and even superior to the Pillars themselves!
puff--

The beautiful human head of the evil dragon instantly burst open, and what spewed from the hole was not blood, but a chaotic liquid, the same color as the head formed by the chaotic vortex between it and the dragon's head, but even deeper.

The pain spread to the other side, and the dragon, covered in black scales and with fur like blood-red flames, let out a painful roar. The power of conquest that enveloped all the evil spirits was instantly relieved. Without the slightest hesitation, they pulled up the heavy iron chains and dragged the evil dragon in all directions with a force that could almost tear it to pieces.

The restless, evil dragon was once again frozen in place.

It's now……

Without needing to speak, Angel, who was in the same team, conveyed the thought to Gray, who gripped the iron-black flagpole tightly, his body transforming into a flaming spear that matched the colorless flames burning the blood-stained banner, and flew towards the half-coiled, half-stretched body of the evil dragon.

Angel extended her right hand, her five fingers clenched loosely. The sea of ​​blood in front of her was attracted and compressed by a powerful force, and then collapsed as a whole, forming a chaotic vortex that was constantly rotating and absorbing everything around it.

As soon as the vortex appeared, it teleported to the tip of the flaming spear that Gray had transformed into. Instead of continuing to absorb the sea of ​​blood and attract the evil spirits clinging to the chains, it pointed straight ahead and flew rapidly toward the evil dragon with her.

In an instant, this vortex, representing "chaos" and capable of destroying everything, crashed into an invisible barrier, failing to directly hit the massive body of the evil dragon.

That was a seal that separated the will of the "City of Calamity" from the outside world, a power that restricted the evil dragon from using the mirror world to leave, or from self-destruction to escape, but now it became a barrier protecting Him from harm.

The chaotic vortex that touched the invisible barrier immediately began to tear at and devour it, but the power that constituted the barrier seemed inexhaustible, with alternating blue-white light and soft yellow light appearing inside, actually blocking the authority of "chaos".

Just then, the barrier suddenly opened a passage, letting Gray and the chaotic vortex she controlled enter. It was the Heavenly Emperor, the Holy Monk, and other Dao-merging beings who adjusted the strength of the seal... Angel had just realized this when a crashing sound of a mirror shattering came from the location of the evil dragon, and the city-sized figure instantly became illusory.

Taking advantage of the moment the seal weakened, the evil dragon escaped from the "mirror world" that it could not use at all, and returned to the reality surrounded by the sea of ​​blood!

This caused the chaotic vortex to lose its target, sweeping across the area that had suddenly become empty, before finally returning to the real world under Gray's control, chasing after the evil dragon.

But within that short timeframe, the "City of Calamity" had already prepared itself for battle.

Endless, dark flames, imbued with destruction and madness, surged in from all directions, instantly engulfing the chaotic vortex and Gray's flaming spear. While being actively drawn into and devoured by the vortex, they also utterly destroyed it.

The entire crimson ocean lost its light and sound under the impact of the two forces, instantly becoming dark and silent.

A black iron flagpole with a blood-stained banner at its tip was thrown out and caught by Angel, who had returned to reality. The spot where the black flames and the vortex collided was now empty.

"Ah……"

The monstrous dragon, its eyes filled with blood and its expression growing increasingly crazed, had just let out an unconscious snort when its smile froze on its face.

Angel raised her hand and handed the "Salinger Blood Flag" to Gray, who slowly emerged from beside her, completely unharmed.

Since the original body didn't die, the person in the mirror certainly won't either!
To the evil dragon, whose eyes had just regained their sight, this scene evoked a sense of despair, as if the enemy were invincible.

He is also immortal and indestructible. Even if his physical body is destroyed, his consciousness can be resurrected within the source matter. This is why the Dao Masters did not try to kill him even though they sealed him to the point that he could not use most of his abilities and symbols. Instead, they locked him in the well.

Even with this method of resurrection, returning from within the source matter still requires a certain amount of time and certain conditions.

The destructive flames that the evil dragon just spewed contained the curse of "City of Calamity," symbolizing utter destruction. They would kill Grey and destroy all her hidden mirror clones, erasing them completely.

But she was still resurrected because of the existence of a special "mirror person," because Angel and Gray were mirror images of each other, and were connected by the power of the "City of Calamity" itself.

The power of the evil dragon also originates from this source, so how can the connection between the two be truly broken, and how can the power of "destruction" be used to eliminate both at the same time as killing ordinary clones and puppets?
As the consciousness and spiritual imprints of the Daoists "betrayed" one after another, leaving only the instinctive evil dragon in shock, Angel and Gray launched another attack.

Gray transformed into a spear for the second time, carrying a new vortex of chaos as he approached the enormous body of the evil dragon that had returned to reality. Only by truly entering the seal surrounding Him could this chaotic mass, symbolizing destruction, truly erupt and devour the flesh formed by the fusion of the black and white dragon bodies.

Seeing the rapidly approaching flaming spear and the small ball of chaotic power at its tip, the evil dragon's iron-black, azure-blue, and empty chaotic eyes were filled with even more madness. Between it and Gray, a disc-shaped structure that could absorb even light and whose outline could only be barely discerned by the blood that was being absorbed around it suddenly appeared, blocking Gray's spear tip like a shield.

The flaming spear tried to bypass it, but found that its own shape was distorted, and it flew into the darkness like a soft dough along with more of the blood it was sucking in.

No matter how fast she tried to speed up, she couldn't break free.

So that's how it is. Even a "black hole" is a kind of natural disaster, a true "destructive natural disaster"... Angel immediately realized that the authority of "chaos" itself was no longer sufficient to destroy this black hole formed by the power of primordial matter.

But she still has a real trump card, a trump card prepared for the Source, for the Old Ones, and even for the Pillars.

A bone sword, matching Angel's current size, emerged from her right hand. It was the unique weapon of the "Witch," a weapon that was transformed from a statue that resembled Chik after she truly absorbed it. It possessed the authority of "chaos" and "destruction."

Its previous prey was the "Eternal Sun".

At the same time, beside Angel, on an iron chain pulled by numerous demons with blue faces and fangs or distorted features, a stream of colorless, dark water rippled and surged toward her, merging into the bone sword that was already engulfed in black flames.

The powers belonging to the "City of Calamity" and the "River of Eternal Darkness" have once again converged into one.

This is the true power to "end everything." When Angel used it last time, it relied on the fusion of the angelic power of the five paths of witch, red priest, death god, twilight giant and darkness, plus the corresponding power of two source substances, to form the "end" symbol that was enough to kill the true god and completely kill the "Primordial Witch" Chick.

After learning about the concept of a "fourth pillar" in this world, Angel understood that the combined authority and symbolism of these two sources would form a black origin that would bring time, space, and destiny to an end.

That is a power that is ten thousand times more terrifying than a black hole, a power that can completely erase even the "Fallen Mother Goddess," a pillar symbolizing reality.

Holding up the bone sword, which gradually merged and collapsed with the flames and river water, as if to compress and annihilate all concepts and symbols, Angel instantly swapped places with Gray, who was about to be absorbed by the black hole and whose body had been stretched to a great extent.

Then, she slashed at the disc-shaped structure that was devouring the light, and then at the massive body of the monstrous dragon behind her.

"Let me tell you, this is how 'cataclysmic disaster' is used!"

The moment Angel's cold voice reached the dragon's ears, the entire sea of ​​blood and the chains binding it trembled violently.
