Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1059 Ambush and Being Ambushed
Ah, is this possible? First of all, wouldn't the cultists who knew the true identity of the Outer Gods be polluted and driven crazy... Well, could it be that this pollution is not the uncontrollable overflow of the Outer Gods' power, but rather a selective interaction between Them?

When I was fighting the "manipulator" Hvin Rambis, my mirror man also used this trick to implant the dangerous concept of "Outer God" into his mind. Although he was a member of the "Psychological Alchemy Society", he did not believe in evil gods. Instead, he was contaminated and died on the spot...

Angel's thoughts raced, and he quickly understood the nature of the "Outer God" pollution.

For these cult believers, knowing the identity of the "Outer Gods" is not the only condition for being contaminated. Compared with mutant tree demons like Cynthia, these Outer Gods, whose bodies are outside the barrier and cannot influence the inside, prefer their subordinates to be a group of rational humans who can lurk in normal society. Therefore, they will not use their status and power to contaminate the other party immediately after establishing contact, and may even take the initiative to provide some "gifts" so that believers can better preach.

Of course, this kind of "preferential treatment" is definitely limited to a small number of core believers, otherwise the information of the "Outer Gods" would have been leaked long ago, rather than being spread only among angels.

Thinking of this, Angel had a new question:
"So, if the cult members themselves will not be contaminated by the outer gods, why don't they publicize their existence? As long as they hear or see relevant information and form a clear concept in their minds, they will be noticed by the outer gods. Isn't that a very convenient 'weapon of mass destruction'?"

"Indeed, as long as these believers spread information about the 'Old Ones' and 'Outer Gods' in big cities at the same time, or even just recite their names, a large number of ordinary people will be polluted. Just like you revealed the form of a mythical creature in the battle on the outskirts of Limon today, if you and the weather sorcerer had not restrained themselves, and the fog of war blocked most of the influence of divinity, the soldiers below would have been immediately polluted, crazy or dead."

The person in the mirror nodded, confirming Angel's statement, and then asked in a suggestive way:

"But if that happens, what will happen next? Consider the worst-case scenario."

The worst possibility... Angel thought for a moment and replied:

"First, printing leaflets in advance or using certain supernatural powers can greatly improve the efficiency of dissemination. If the latest radio and loudspeakers are used, the existence of the 'Outer Gods' can even be promoted to multiple cities at the same time... If one person can influence a thousand people, hundreds of Outer God believers acting at the same time, plus the problems caused by subsequent pollution, may cause the deaths of millions of people, which is equivalent to the casualties caused by a 'Level 0' sealed object completely out of control...

"This is equivalent to ten Backlund Great Fogs, but it is far inferior to the Pale Disaster, and even inferior to the several major plagues that swept across the continent... You mean, this kind of 'mass destruction' is not very effective?"

"On the contrary, the effect is too good, so good that even the Outer Gods are afraid." The man in the mirror chuckled and looked up at the broken sky in the mirror world, as if looking at the "Old Days" who were eyeing them covetously through a barrier. "The death of millions of people in a short period of time, and the death of madness and loss of control due to the pollution of the Outer Gods, is a huge blow to the gods they believe in. The reduction of the 'anchor' will instantly break the fragile balance they have maintained between humanity and divinity and the spiritual imprint within the Beyonder characteristics. The gods will fall into madness, attack each other, snatch and devour Beyonder characteristics and uniqueness. What will be the final result?"

"With the gods falling one after another, the Earth has lost its last hope and can only wait for the end of the world to come?"

Angel answered subconsciously, then shook his head.

This kind of thing will only make the Outer Gods ecstatic, how could it scare them?
If these beings who have surpassed Sequence 0 and reached the level of the Old Ones are afraid of something, it can only be...

“Will the madness of the gods and the further aggregation of Beyonder characteristics give the original creator a chance to revive?” A flash of light flashed through her mind, and she murmured, “The creator set up a barrier before his fall, originally to give himself a chance to wake up again under the effect of the aggregation of Beyonder characteristics. Once He appears, the Outer Gods can only flee in panic, and will no longer have the chance to get what they want?”

"Yes."

The person in the mirror replied with a smile.

If this is the case, is there any chance that the Earth can use this as a threat, exchange the Outer Gods for their departure with minimal losses, and resolve the doomsday crisis?
Such an idea popped into Angel's mind, but he felt that it was not practical at all. Even if the Prime Creator could be resurrected, the biggest loss would be to the Earth, and the Outer Gods would at most just walk away, with no gain nor loss.

Unless, the original creator can completely stand on the side of the earth and become our fighting force, but how is this possible... She sighed, and found that the person in the mirror standing in front of her also sighed softly, and she couldn't help laughing again.

Suddenly, both of them frowned at the same time, their expressions became serious, and they looked upwards.

Since Bernadette could take action at any time, Angel left a mirror substitute in the shallow, ordinary mirror world before entering the "City of Disaster" to monitor the situation in Russell Port and see if Bernadette needs help.

At this moment, they all sensed the call of Bernadette, with whom they had chanted her honorable name before and therefore still maintained a certain connection.

————On the west coast of the Republic of Intis, at the mouth of the Serenzo River, in an abandoned warehouse located in a remote location in Port Leuser.

A team of "Mechanical Hearts" were cleaning up a messy battlefield. The ground was full of holes caused by large-caliber ammunition and explosives. The entire outer wall of the warehouse was riddled with holes and almost collapsed. The ground was covered with stains and debris, making it impossible to tell what they used to be.

But from the spots of blood, it can be inferred that they may have been parts of a cultist when they were alive.

These "mechanical hearts" were obviously well-trained. They quickly searched every corner of the warehouse, burned and destroyed any suspicious objects, carefully collected the small amount of extraordinary characteristics that were separated from the ashes, and used portable cameras to take pictures of meaningful graphics. They were taciturn and moved skillfully.

But no one noticed that at a small window at the top of the warehouse, a hidden invisible servant was quietly watching below, keeping track of their actions.

Everything it saw was being transmitted through the "Eye of Peering into Mystery" to the "Mysterious Queen" Bernadette not far away. The latter quietly watched the actions of the "Mechanical Heart" and had no intention of approaching the warehouse.

Of course, she did not come here just to observe the operation to eliminate the evil sect, but she predicted that the saints among the believers of the "School of Truth" and "Great Mother" would appear in this stronghold, so she hid in the dark, ready to help the official extraordinary people at any time and obtain first-hand information.

However, the prophecy had made a rare mistake. There were only a few ordinary believers who were fighting hard in the warehouse. The highest one was no more than a Sequence 6. They quickly collapsed under the full firepower of the "Mechanical Heart". The saint who was with the team didn't even have a chance to make a move.

In the process of arresting cult members, such "accidents" are not uncommon, because prophecies and divinations will frequently go wrong for believers who believe in evil existence, and those that are accurate have a considerable probability of being sensed by the other party in advance, thus rendering the prophecy invalid.

Therefore, Bernadette was not discouraged. After the "Mechanical Heart" completed the cleanup of the battlefield, she took back the invisible servants and prepared to leave the port and return to the "Dawn" docked nearby.

But she had just left the spiritual world from the hotel where she was hiding, and stepped into the spiritual world with the help of a magical item. Before she had time to travel through it, she felt that the surrounding environment, which was originally rich in color and had chaotic distance relationships, became dim, as if the light was blocked by some mirrors.

Enemy attack!

Bernadette immediately ruled out the possibility of accidentally entering the depths of the spiritual world or being affected by the negative effects of the magical items on her body. She stretched out her hands without hesitation, and with her left hand, a dark-colored ancient horn was condensed. She put it to her mouth and blew it. With her right hand, she grabbed a bright-colored ball of wool that was not real enough and threw it out.

The horn emitted a low roar, sweeping past her quickly like a wave. As the sound waves accumulated, the shadow rushing towards her retreated in an instant. Several consecutive sounds of glass breaking were heard, and cracks appeared in the strange space surrounding her.

The ball of yarn rolled in a certain direction and quickly disappeared, leaving only a piece of yarn to guide her.

It seems that the attackers' level is only Saint at most. They originally planned to ambush the Demigod of the Steam Church, but they discovered that I was spying?
Thoughts flashed through Bernadette's mind, but her body followed the ball of thread without any pause, preparing to leave this abnormal spiritual world.

As for counterattack, you can wait until you are out of danger and use the prophecy to lock the attacker's position!

She followed the bright ball of yarn and soon returned to the normal spiritual world with rich colored blocks. She strolled quickly in the magical world where the distance and direction were different from the reality, landed on the golden block representing her flagship "Dawn", and immediately left the spiritual world.

But what appeared before her eyes was not the familiar deck and mast, but the interior of a warehouse filled with smoke and the smell of blood.

Her landing point was "distorted" and returned to the battlefield where the "Mechanical Heart" and the cultists had fought fiercely!
The official Beyonders who were cleaning up the battlefield a few minutes ago have fallen one after another, their faces filled with horror and their deaths horribly. Guns and magical items are scattered all over the ground. The "Alchemist" who was sweeping the battlefield is nowhere to be seen. In the warehouse, there is only one person standing except Bernadette.

"Long time no see, Queen of Mystery, Her Royal Highness, Ms. Bernadette Gustave."

Nast Solomon, the "King of the Five Seas," addressed him in a sarcastic tone as if he were reciting his honorific name.
