Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 893 Two Gods
"I……"

Looking at the person in the mirror who seemed to be prepared, Angel didn't know how to start.

After she discovered that the "Dark Cross" was unwilling to stay with the Extraordinary Characteristics, she immediately thought of the fact that only angel-level power could crush and reorganize Extraordinary Characteristics. She also thought of the scene in which her two weapons, the "Good Luck" revolver and the "Knight's Bracelet", strangely released Extraordinary Characteristics directly after being damaged.

The former triggered a 16-fold increase in damage and was completely destroyed by the "disintegration ray" created by the "disaster" spell, directly extracting uncontaminated extraordinary characteristics. The latter was damaged in a battle in an area contaminated and sealed by various forces where the "Conqueror" giant was wandering underground in Trier, and also quickly extracted its original extraordinary characteristics.

They are all related to the power of "City of Disaster".

Perhaps, the power of this "source" can suppress the rebellious character of the "Darkless Cross", allowing it to stay with other Beyonder Characteristics and gradually separate them into different sequences?

"Your guess is correct. Here, any Sealed Artifact or Beyonder characteristic that is not a Witch or Hunter will be greatly suppressed. Only those who have reached Sequence 2 and possess the status of an angel can resist this power."

Angel's mirror image said in a tone that she was very familiar with.

No wonder only angels have the power to crush and reorganize Beyonder characteristics, because only by reaching Sequence 2 can one fully control the power within Beyonder characteristics... I'm afraid that at that stage, even the negative effects of the Beyonder characteristics of the "No Dark Cross" that can be extracted over time will not be effective...

While thinking, Angel took out the cross covered with bronze rust and the "manipulator" attribute and handed them to the person in his mirror.

During this process, she noticed that the strange glow on the surface of that extraordinary characteristic was dimmed as if suppressed by some force, and the bronze cross also remained quite restrained and did not become hot due to its proximity to other extraordinary characteristics.

This means that her idea is correct.

"If I pull a living Beyonder in here, what will happen?" Angel looked at the two things from the demigods and suddenly asked, "Will their power also be suppressed?"

"If you can get them to follow you through the Mirror Passage, then of course you can, but if you can do that, wouldn't it be faster to just kill them?" Angel said with a chuckle, "If a living person comes here, they will soon be contaminated by the power of the source, grow deformed breasts, swell and rot, or even have their heads separated from their bodies, becoming independent individuals."

"Like Bansy Harbor?"

Angel immediately thought of the bizarre encounter in the fog-covered port.

"That is the authority of disaster, which comes from the leakage of power from the 'City of Disaster'... Of course, it is only a tiny amount of power. Otherwise, Bansi would not only have the custom of not being able to go out on foggy days, but would have become a place that even gods dare not approach..." The man in the mirror explained patiently, and stretched out his hand, "Give me your substitute doll."

Angel took out the small doll he made with his own hair and carried with him and handed it to the other party, watching her put the doll together with the "manipulator" characteristics and casually placed it on the ground.

"Are you going to combine the characteristics with the doll to form a magical item?"

She guessed something and asked.

"That's right, but the effect is unpredictable. We are not 'craftsmen'. If we do this, there is a high probability that we will only turn them into a seal with unbearable side effects... In fact, most seals are formed in this situation. I just took the initiative to facilitate this."

The person in the mirror was talking to himself, staring closely at the puppet made of hair, watching it absorb the dull "manipulator" characteristics into its body at a very fast speed. A faint glow of mixed colors appeared on its surface, and its limbs, which were almost as thick as fingers, were trembling, as if it would crawl up from the ground in the next second.

"They bonded so quickly... Normally it would take at least a few hours, right?"

Angel muttered, and took a few steps closer, wanting to see what his stand-in doll had turned into, but suddenly he heard a sharp voice:

"Fast? What do you mean by fast? You are such a jealous lunatic. You are so envious of your other self's profound knowledge, but you pretend not to care. Do you need me to do a psychological analysis for you? I can help you solve the problem faster!"

The voice seemed to come from a throat cut by a knife, sharp and rapid, but what surprised Angel the most was that it came from the palm-sized stand-in puppet in front of him, which absorbed the characteristics of the "manipulator"!

Could it be some kind of sealed object with the ability to read minds? But I really haven’t thought of it that way!

Angel immediately looked at his "person in the mirror". Seeing that she looked normal, he felt relieved and explained:

"You know I haven't thought about it that way."

"Yeah, of course I know."

The other Angel nodded, grabbed the substitute puppet that had already crawled up from the ground, its limbs shaking, and its surface becoming more and more shiny. With his other hand, he took the "No Dark Cross" and pressed it on the puppet, causing it to scream miserably:
“Ouch, it’s so hot! Take it away! You voyeur, you love observing your own life through the mirror so much, you want to replace her to enjoy her food and make her friends, why don’t you follow your heart? Those are all yours, uh uh—”

Before it could finish its words, the man in the mirror pulled off a strand of its golden hair that made up its body, wrapped it around its neck several times, and tied it tightly together with the "Darkless Cross", blocking its trash talk in its throat.

The animated puppet struggled frantically but could not free itself from the cross. Its limbs gradually became weak and finally drooped beside its body. Its neck was tightly wrapped around the protruding spikes on the cross, like a victim hanged on a cross.

"...I can't leave this special mirror world. It's isolated from the outside world, and I can't see your...life." After an awkward silence, Angel's mirror figure squeezed out a few words from the depths of his throat.

"It's just trying to sow discord. If I hadn't seen it incorporate the extraordinary properties of the Audience pathway, I would have thought it was a seal from the Devil pathway."

Angel nodded and said, just like the person in his mirror just now.

"The probability that the seal formed through the 'audience' path has the characteristics of being alive seems to be greater than that through other paths." The stiff expression of the man in the mirror also eased a little. "And when it is formed here, it will have some additional characteristics, such as the instigation and provocation we have seen."

Is this also the influence of "source quality"?

Angel looked thoughtfully at the stand-in doll hanging on the cross by its neck, and inexplicably thought of another living sealed object, the "Mirror of Arrodes".

Does it have some characteristics of the "audience" path? But it doesn't sow discord, but prefers to provide information in the form of questions and answers, and knows a lot of secret knowledge. Is it a "fortune teller"? No... more like a "reader" like "Admiral Iceberg"... and has the lightning of the "sailor" path to punish people who answer incorrectly. It may be a mixture of the power of multiple paths, so it has a peculiar personality and recognizes masters everywhere...

Thoughts kept flashing through Angel's mind, and his gaze moved from the doll to the "person in the mirror" who was silent aside, as if waiting for the characteristics to be analyzed. He inexplicably felt that her beautiful profile that was exactly the same as his own revealed a hint of loneliness and solitude.

Even if I believe that I won't peek into my own life, she will feel bored if she stays in the "mirror world" all the time... Angel suddenly had this thought, sighed, quickly found a topic, and said:

"Did you know that King George III of Loen is going to become the 'Black Emperor'?"

"Of course I know," the man in the mirror answered subconsciously, then realized that his words contained some meanings that could easily lead people to misunderstand, and added, "I didn't spy on your life, but as your 'man in the mirror', I can naturally obtain most of the information you know. Combined with divination, it is easy to come to this conclusion."

Angel did not dwell on the source of the knowledge and memory of the person in the mirror, but asked a more concerned question:

"So what do you think? Can destroying a mausoleum really stop his plans?"

"Winsa didn't lie to us. The power behind it wants to see us take more active actions. The 'Original Witch' who helped Triss doesn't want a new 'Black Emperor' to be born. These two forces may come from the same source."

This means that as a member of that special witch family, Wenza also has the instructions of the "Original Witch" behind him... Wait, "that Original Witch"?
"You mean, there is more than one 'Original Witch'? One of them is a 'false god'?"

Angel asked back with a frown on his face.

"If someone chants your name and sends you a message, and you don't receive it, I will handle that message... From the perspective of that 'believer', are there two 'Angelica Sage' at the same time?"

The person in the mirror spoke in such a light tone that Angel almost thought she was telling a joke.

But she immediately realized that the other party was referring to the "Original Witch" and was implicitly saying that the "Original Witch" was also in a similar situation...

He also has his own "mirror man"!
"Will the 'Man in the Mirror' that appeared in the witch's Sequence 3 remain in Sequence 0? The 'Original Witch' did not reconcile with her own man in the mirror, but completely split into two different individuals?" Angel asked.

"Although the process was not like this, it was indeed the case from the results," the person in her mirror chuckled, not knowing whether she was mocking the god. "The original witch in reality was not in good condition for various reasons, which led to the prayers of some believers being received by the original witch in the mirror. Triss was one of them... In short, you can get more help than you think in stopping George III."

Is this the reason why she was hunted by the "Witch Sect" even though she became a vessel of God's descent and a follower of the "Original Witch"?
Angel always felt that the words of the person in her mirror were a little bizarre and difficult for her to accept. However, if the premise was that "two gods" appeared in the witch path, it could explain quite a lot of things, including the subtle tendency of the witch family and the witch sect where Wenza was, and the embarrassing situation of Triss, the god-favored one...

Thoughts kept flashing through her mind, and her eyes inadvertently fell on the cross and the puppet on the ground. Suddenly, she found a dim light appeared next to the hanged puppet, and soon formed a gray-white object that was about the same size as the previous "manipulator" and looked similar to a heart. Its surface was also full of wrinkles and covered with complex three-dimensional patterns, almost the same as before.

From the brain to the heart... Is this because it does not include the previous sequences, but only the characteristics of Sequence 4 "Manipulator"? This means that there are only Sequence 9 to Sequence 5 Beyonder characteristics left in the Stand Doll, and the next one to be extracted will be the "Dream Walker" that I need...

Angel pondered, and suddenly realized that from the moment the "No Dark Cross" was hung on the doll, not even five minutes had passed, and the extraordinary characteristics of the demigod had already been rejected and extracted, much faster than she had imagined!

“Is it the power of the ‘Source Material’ that helps it accelerate the formation of extraordinary characteristics, or is it because the time here is different from that in the outside world?”

Angel picked up the "Manipulator" characteristic and asked with some confusion.

"It's both, but it's mainly the latter reason." The person in her mirror only briefly paused on that characteristic, then looked at the Darkless Cross and explained, "The time here and your body perception are different from the speed of the outside world. You can see buildings and streets of various styles in different locations in the city. This is because they are not from the same time."

From a different...time?
Angel's mind flashed with the various styles of buildings she had seen in this strange "City of Disaster", including ancient Greek style, modern Eastern and Western architecture, and even the modern urban streets where she died...

"If so, can I use the 'City of Disaster' to go back in time?"

Her eyes lit up and she asked eagerly.
