Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 989: The Problem of Honor and the Future
Angel actually already has the answer to this question.

The end of the world is approaching, and the "barrier" covering the earth and blocking the invasion of alien gods is about to disappear. If at that time the seven gods are still on earth and they are wary of each other and the evil gods are hiding in the corners, let alone fighting against the equal number of alien gods and the "Old Ones", even if all the gods are added together, they may not be able to defeat an alien god that is above the sequence.

Once the Earth is lost, the anchor of faith of the gods will be lost. Even if they are lucky enough to escape, the only thing that awaits them is loss of control and destruction.

Under this pressure, the God of War must deal with the Goddess of Night who is on the adjacent path, and firmly grasp the three paths of Night, Death, and God of War in his hands, in order to have the opportunity to go one step further and become a true "Old One" with the power to fight against the outer gods.

At a time like this, one "Old One" is much more useful than three true gods of sequence 0!
And in the final analysis, it was actually the goddess who did this first... She intervened when Mr. Azik was about to become the resurrected god of death, Salinger, and while saving him, she took away the characteristics and uniqueness of the god of death for resurrection, occupying the adjacent paths in advance, which prompted the god of war to start a war and decide the outcome before the goddess controlled the power of the god of death, otherwise she would become a victim of the Earth's old days.

The same must be true for the Eternal Sun and the Lord of Storms. The Earth Goddess Omybella is the mother of the God of War, and is naturally on the same side. Only the God of Steam and Machinery has a rather strange attitude. He and the righteous gods participating in the war are not in the same sequence, and he is also preaching in Loen. The only possible "demand" is probably to become the victor, expel the belief in darkness and storms, and increase his own believers.

But Angel could not say these reasons, because as long as he even mentioned the concepts of "Outer Gods" and "Old Days", they would leave a complete impression in the minds of the Tarot Club members who have not yet become angels. The moment they return to reality, they will attract the attention of beings such as the "Fallen Mother Goddess" and the "Super Star Overlord". The only outcome is that they will be contaminated and lose control on the spot.

Therefore, facing everyone's expectant gazes, Angel could only force a smile, his eyes unfocused, and he acted stupid. He even found it difficult to say "You'll know when you're promoted to Sequence 2."

Seeing that the newly promoted Angel Queen remained silent, Mr. Fool, as usual, only provided necessary guidance and never explained in detail. Alger, Audrey, and the others had no choice but to suppress their curiosity and talk about other topics instead.

At the end of the party, Angel bought a batch of materials and tools for building docks and repairing ships from the "Hermit" Cattleya. The pirate general had his own business channels in the South Continent, the Rorsted Islands and other places. He readily agreed and did not express any doubts about where these materials would be used.

But she estimated that she would soon learn about the "City of Dreams" from the "Mysterious Queen" Bernadette... Angel muttered, and said goodbye to Mr. Fool as usual with Audrey and others, and left the palace in the gray fog surrounded by crimson light.

……

The spirit returned to the body at the Iris Winery. When Angel opened his eyes again, he immediately heard the sound of soft prayers in his ears and some phantom lights appeared before his eyes.

This is the sound of a prayer to the "Golden Queen".

After being promoted to Sequence 2, Angel was able to respond to prayers from anywhere, whether it was in the depths of the Five Seas or at the far end of the Southern Continent. As long as the complete name was recited, the sound of the prayer would be transmitted to her ears.

Of course, most of the content is usually handled by Angel's "mirror man", but Angel can also obtain synchronous perception. The agenda of this Tarot Club is longer, and there are too many "backlogs" of prayers, which made her feel a little emotional for a while.

After quickly browsing the prayers in the light spot, Angel found that most of them were praises and prayers to the pirate king "Golden Queen". They were nothing more than "I hope we can gain something from this robbery" and "Don't run into Loen or Feysac's warships". Whether they were responded to or not would not affect their fate at all.

In addition, she also discovered some prayers from the residents of the "Dream City". These prayers were not delivered with the full name, but were made next to several statues in the city. These statues were made in the image of Angel and were used to praise her deeds of protecting all residents in the city. As long as praises were offered to them, they would point to Angel nearby under vague conditions and achieve the purpose of the prayer.

This is why the angels in the major churches have their own patron saint churches and regions. Even if the complete name is not spread, the church named after Him will naturally gather faith and become an anchor for the angels... Angel seemed to have realized something and decided to build a church of his own in the "Dream City" as soon as possible to make this faith that comes from gratitude more solid.

In addition, she also needs to redesign her own honorific name and add a description that is more in line with her path in potion making, rather than simply using "deeds" as the specific content.

Of course, this can be decided after learning from Anne, who has been an angel for two thousand years. The somewhat embarrassing name "Nightmare of Thousands of Ships" can still be used for a while.

After waving his hand to disperse the light spots and whispers around him that only he could feel, Angel began to sort out his current situation.

After becoming the "Disaster" witch and learning about the "Old Days", the first thing she has to face is the hostility of the "Original Witch" at the top of her sequence.

According to the person in the mirror, before the angel, each of her promotions was actually under protection and secrecy. This power came from the corresponding authority of Ms. Arianna, which effectively blocked the prying eyes of the "Original Witch".

Otherwise, after offending the witch sect, every time she was promoted, she would be gambling with her life. As long as the witch at the top of the sequence glanced at her, she might lose control and die on the spot. But when she was promoted to Sequence 2, this power was no longer effective. If the place of promotion was not in the memorial hall controlled by the "Hand of Order", if it was not for her "Man in the Mirror" who pulled her back, she might have become a monster that only spread disaster and misfortune.

Of course, even if she couldn't get a glimpse of Angel's true situation, the "Original Witch" should have known that a disaster witch who was beyond her control was born, and she even had a close connection with the source "City of Disaster"!
As the end of the world approaches, every god is actively preparing for war, ready to occupy the characteristics, uniqueness and authority of the adjacent paths, and pursuing the advancement of the "Old Days" with the help of the source. For the "Original Witch", in addition to the top of the adjacent Hunter Path, the most important thing is naturally the "City of Disaster", which is currently Angel.

If I were a member of the Witch's Sect, I'm afraid He would have found ways to make me a vessel for God's descent to indirectly control the power of this source... Angel thought sympathetically.

With her current strength, she no longer needs to worry about the threat from the angels within the "Witch Sect". Unless the other party has multiple angels and saints at the same time, or controls some other "0" level seals, it will pose a certain threat to her.

But the "Original Witch" herself has the ability to descend from the sky, and if necessary, she may even descend into the world in her true form to deal a devastating blow to Angel.

This is the problem she is most worried about.

"There's no point in worrying. Now I can only try my best to improve my strength and truly control the power of the 'City of Disaster' in order to survive the threat of the True God... And with Sequence 0, the Witch Path can no longer be promoted to Sequence 1. To go further, I can only consider jumping to the 'Conqueror' of the Hunter Path, which will turn me into the same state as the ancestors of Soran and Einhorn, a true man..."

Muttering silently, Angel suddenly realized that he was no longer looking forward to this development, but was resisting it.

Because in this case, if the "Original Witch" cannot be killed, and the characteristics and uniqueness left behind cannot be used to jump back to Sequence 0 of the Witch Path, it would be equivalent to "returning" to one's original gender, and it would no longer be possible to change.

Was it the habit of living over the past year or was it Klein's fault? She analyzed her mind in confusion, but finally sighed and decided that no matter what, she would first take a copy of the Conqueror Beyonder characteristic as her last resort.

There are three copies of "Hunter" Sequence 1. One has been handed over to the "Original Witch" by the Augustus family. Now it seems that this is obviously a preparation for "Her" to be promoted to "The Old One"; the other is very likely in the hands of the Einhorn family, who inherited part of Tudor's legacy. They launched this war perhaps to pave the way for promotion to Sequence 1; the last one Angel had seen with his own eyes. It was the disaster giant transformed by the out-of-control ancestor of the Sauron family, Vermonda Sauron, who was now wandering in Trier in the Fourth Epoch.

With my current strength, as long as I can enter there again, it won't be difficult to obtain the "Conqueror" attribute. This should be the reason why the Man in the Mirror left behind the evil spirit of Sauron. Someone in his family should know how to enter Trier in the Fourth Epoch in a normal way...

Thinking of this, Angel smiled slightly, but then his face froze again.

This is the last resort, the last resort... She comforted herself, paced back and forth in the bedroom, and thought of another question:
When answering Klein's question and listing the extraordinary characteristics of all the "planeswalkers", Arrodes mentioned that the characteristics of the planeswalkers that constitute the "Dream City" have problems related to the "Old Days".

There is no "old day" in the interior of the earth now, so this problem, this pollution, has only one source:
Outer Gods.

If it weren't for the fact that it was still a time when "two Angels" coexisted, and the other Angel was in the "City of Dreams", she would have wanted to immediately enter the mirror world and go directly to the floating city to discuss this matter with Annie and Amon's clone.

After all, she has used up the "Disaster" witch characteristic, and Annie has also used the power of "Hand of Order" many times. If the "Planeswalker" is contaminated, will other characteristics be affected?

Just as Angel's mind was full of thoughts and his eyes were gradually losing focus, the faint sound of prayer was heard again.

"The queen feared by pirates...the embodiment of pain and despair...

"I have something important to discuss with you, please reply..."

Following the light coming from the prayer, Angel recognized the figure with his head lowered.

That was Triss, who disappeared after stopping George III's ceremony.
