Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 981 The Truth of Doomsday

Could this be Medici? No, his temperament and appearance are somewhat different from the "War Angel" that Klein described in his dream. Could it be one of Soran or Einhorn? I remember that when the three-in-one evil spirit "betrayed" and fled in all directions, one of them bumped into the "Man in the Mirror" and was taken away together...

Angel looked at the tall man who was only covered with a black robe, had long red hair, and brown eyes with a hint of sarcasm. The man also looked at her with an expression of undisguised anger.

Of course, he only showed it in his expression and did not do anything out of the ordinary.

I am afraid that after leaving that mixed state, these evil spirits only have their original status, but do not have the ability to hurt people... Angel laughed secretly, looked at his "man in the mirror", and asked tentatively:
"Einhorn or Soren?"

"He is the ancestor of the Soran family and one of the 'Conquerors' of the Fourth Epoch. I think you should know about the entanglement between him, Einhorn, and Medici."

The "person in the mirror" who looked exactly like Angel, even the dangerous change in her beauty after her promotion, answered.

"I know part of it. For example, they were all killed by Alistair Tudor and their extraordinary characteristics were taken away. The latter used them to be promoted to the 'Red Priest' instead of the 'Black Emperor' as originally planned. They were merged into the same evil spirit and stayed in the underground ruins for more than 2000 years. They were only released recently."

Angel said, combining some of the contents in Roselle's diary, Klein's guess, and his own inference.

"Let me add one more thing. It was Medici who took the initiative to challenge us. He wanted to become a real god in one go, but Tudor took advantage of him."

The evil spirit Soran said in a low voice.

It was indeed the voice coming from the mouth on the left side of the Red Angel evil spirit, belonging to the Sauron family... Angel confirmed it secretly and nodded. He did not argue with him whether Tudor was powerful or they were too stupid. Instead, he asked:
"I'm very curious, why would you cooperate with George III? If he becomes the 'Black Emperor', the first place he would deal with would be the Feysac Empire where the Einhorn family is located, and then the wavering Intis. Is this in your interest?"

This is a question that she can't figure out. In order to bring together these two parties with obviously inconsistent interests, was it really just the "Dream Angel" Adam who was behind it?
"Oh, you can see that these questions show that there is still some wisdom, but not much," the evil spirit Soran sneered and replied, "This matter is the result of a compromise between us. Medici hates Adam who helped Tudor plan everything and calls him a paranoid who has spanned two thousand years. George III also wants to use his godhood to get rid of the control of this 'writer'; Einhorn hopes that the family will achieve something, but does not want to be too powerful, otherwise he will not be worth returning to. And Run has his own true god, which can make the war more lasting. As for me... the 'weather wizard' promised by the royal family will be the starting point for me to regain control of the family."

"It was Zaratul who gave you the 'Yesterday Reappearance' spell, right? He made great contributions to the destruction of the Soran royal family and the support of Emperor Roselle to the throne. Can you tolerate cooperation with Him?" Angel asked.

"He was not directly involved in this matter. Apart from arranging the cooperation between the Loen royal family and the 'evil god', he was just hiding behind the scenes, trying to capture an 'ancient scholar'. Ha, these fortune tellers are too cautious and like to hide things, which makes people want to beat them up... In addition, you should thank me, otherwise Medici would have told Zaratul your information long ago, and He would not have to arrange anything. He could just wait in your house."

As far as I know, the archangel who is the fortune teller would not dare to do this. Instead, he would suspect that this is a trap set by the goddess to capture him... Angel muttered in his heart, and he had a certain understanding of why the evil spirit "Red Angel" Soren Einhorn Medici could cooperate with George III.

Simply put, this approach is the "greatest common divisor" among the three evil spirits. Everyone can gain some benefits, so they can endure the part that is not good for them.

She suspected that Adam had really done something to make full use of these human natures. After the Red Angel evil spirit took advantage of yesterday's restoration of Sequence 1 strength, the opposition's forces were simply unable to break through the defenses of the Gathering Crowd and destroy any mausoleum. George III's ascension ceremony could be said to be flawless, but according to Klein, Adam didn't really care whether it would succeed...

Could it be that the fighting power of me and the "Man in the Mirror" is also within His consideration, and that all the efforts of everyone are actually just His "script"?
Thinking of this, Angel looked at the person in his mirror again and asked:
"Since the three evil spirits have become enemies, why bring Him to the 'City of Disaster'?"

"Without a body to attach itself to, the evil spirit cannot survive for long. Only in the mirror world of the 'City of Disaster' can it barely maintain stability. As an evil spirit, a 'hunter' evil spirit, it can avoid the contamination of this source to the greatest extent..."

The man in the mirror explained.

"As for the purpose of keeping him here, it is because the Sauron family still has the 'Conqueror' attribute, which is in the control of Fomonda Sauron. This is the archangel who once ruled the Sauron family two hundred years ago, but he lost control due to pollution and wandered around the outskirts of Trier in the Fourth Epoch where you have been, and has been influencing his descendants through crazy roars. With the help of this Sauron, we can solve this problem as soon as possible and obtain that attribute."

Fumonda... Angel was stunned for a moment by this unfamiliar name, and immediately thought of the scene he saw when he was brought into the space sealed by divine power by the "Iron Knight" Syrio Soran, and asked with enlightenment:

"That 'disaster giant'?"

In her conversation with Syrio, she judged that the giant was a "Hunter" Sequence 1 based on his physical features, surrounded by storms, fire, and fog of war, and the "Man in the Mirror" of the Sauron family did not refute it.

"Yes, it's that stupid family member..." The one who answered Angel was the evil spirit Soran with a look of disdain on his face, "But the question is, why should I help you and give the 'Conqueror' feature to outsiders?"

"Because He has been influencing the members of your family and the Red Swan Castle, driving countless potential Sorans crazy and out of control, forcing them to constantly sacrifice themselves to seal this curse... Forget about Sequence 1, there is not even a Sequence 2 left in the Soran family."

Angel's mirror image said in a calm tone.

The red-haired Soran fell silent. It was unclear whether he agreed to this matter or had other ideas.

It seems that this ancestor of Soran also learned about all this recently, or even just now... After the "Red Angel" evil spirit escaped from the ruins, it followed Ince Zangwill to the southern continent, and then stayed in Backlund, and had no chance to go to Intis to investigate everything. Maybe the information now was told to him by the "Man in the Mirror"... Angel was thinking, and was about to use the "information advantage" to add fuel to the fire, but the "Man in the Mirror" waved his hand, and a blurry translucent wall separated them from the evil spirit Soran. This is the advanced manifestation of the "Mirror Illusion", and it also means that the "Man in the Mirror" has indeed been promoted to Sequence 2 like Angel.

Looking at the "mirror" that blocked out sound and light, the person in the mirror chuckled and said:

"He will think it through. This not only concerns the future of the Soran family, but also hides the hope of His revival."

Then she turned to Angel and asked with interest:
"What about you? What do you want to know this time?"

"Everything," Angel answered solemnly, and then thought of another thing, "Do you have the memory of when I was promoted to the 'Disaster' witch? The memory that helped me get out of control and said something like 'the end of the world'?"

The person in the mirror shook his head:
"That should be me in a few days. I just ordered another you to go to the Raging Sea to look for Annie and the 'Dream City', and she should be on her way to the southern continent to collect auxiliary materials now."

So, there really are two of me at the same time, but there is only one "man in the mirror"... Angel felt both amused and confused, and felt that he was trapped in a rough and shoddy script.

With a sigh, Angel shook off the discomfort of this "asymmetry" and continued to ask:

"So the world will end, and the end of the world will really come?"

She thought of the prophecy made to her by "Yellow Light" Venitan, and of the fact that more than one prophet had mentioned that 1368 would be the end of the world.

And now, the "Man in the Mirror" has said something similar.

"Yes, the end of the world is real. It is not just some vague, conceptual reference. It is the exact end of the world, the destruction of this planet."

The person in the mirror who had the same face as her said with a serious expression.

"Is it because of the war that is about to sweep the world? The gods finally directly participated in the war and caused the destruction of the world?"

Angel immediately thought of a possibility and asked in a hurried tone.

After being promoted to Sequence 2, she had a clearer understanding of the destructive power of Beyonders. As long as no one blocked her, a "disaster" witch could destroy all the major cities in Loen within a week, clear all large settlements within a month, and kill more than 1% of ordinary people, not to mention the Sequence and True Gods above them.

If there were no gods and angels belonging to different forces with conflicting interests to restrain each other, and if they needed ordinary people as believers and anchors, this fragile world would have been destroyed long ago!
Thinking of this, Angel's fragile humanity, which was barely stabilized by a few anchors, began to waver again. The violent desire that originated from the spiritual imprint left in her extraordinary characteristics gradually surged up, and a bloody color appeared in front of her eyes.

She had experienced this before when she had just survived the tragic smog incident and was promoted to the Witch of Pain, but it was completely different. If she had indulged herself before, in Klein's eyes, in the hearts of Elaine, Sherman and others, in the minds of the residents of the North District and the people of Constant City, she would not be a savior but a destroyer. Without the cognition and positioning that could fight against the crazy mental imprint, she would have been completely eroded by this force and become a deformed creature that unconsciously spread all kinds of disasters.

Oh, and there’s also my “person in the mirror”. In her eyes, I should be doing pretty well… Thinking of this, Angel’s boiling brain seemed to be poured with a basin of ice water, and it instantly calmed down. His bloodshot eyes also returned to an elegant purple.

"Are you okay?" The person in the mirror in front of her asked calmly, "Remember your true self, and don't be controlled by the will remaining in your characteristics. Although this will has gradually weakened as we approach the end of the world, the mental imprint still exists, and you need to use enough anchors to fight against it."

"As witches, the 'Man in the Mirror' is our biggest anchor. This means that we don't need to prepare a large number of believers or anchors at Sequence 2 like other paths. As long as we have a clear understanding of our other self, we can stop at the edge of madness."

No wonder when I was promoted, I felt that she was the most stable anchor point besides Klein; no wonder the "Witch Cult" was hidden very deeply, and I haven't heard of how many believers it has, but it can support a true god and four angels... Angel sighed, forced a smile and said:

"I'm fine now, let's continue with the previous topic."

But the next words from the person in the mirror almost made her lose control again.

“‘Doomsday’ has nothing to do with the gods, or rather, they are also one of the victims.

"The real threat comes from outside the Earth, from the 'Outer Gods' wandering in the starry sky.

"Another name for them is 'The Old Ones'."
