Chapter 114: Mysteries

"Why did I forget such an important matter?!"

Chumen felt his entire body go cold; if not for Sasriel's "Eternal Day," he might still be unable to break free from that state of having lost his wits.

"'Fooling'?" Since when had he been influenced by the "Mysteries"?

"Heh." A soft chuckle suddenly rang in Chumen's ears.

It was the reviving will entangled with him inside the Dream Angel's body!

"Dream, I saw you last time..." The voice of the "Mysteries" echoed in Chumen's heart.

At the same time, what surfaced in Chumen's mind was the scene from the Second Epoch where the Destruction Demon Wolf was killed by Lilith's self-detonation.

In that war, the Destruction Demon Wolf had once attempted to release the suppression on the "Mysteries" will within its body, summoning Sefirah Castle in an attempt to break the deadlock.

But it failed under the joint efforts of the various Ancient Gods and the Ancient Sun God; the "Mysteries," which had just shown signs of revival, was suppressed, and the Destruction Demon Wolf died completely, its Characteristics scattering.

"..." Chumen frowned, and then didn't believe a single punctuation mark of it!

He directly ignored the voice ringing in his ears, his brain coming back online, instantly locking onto the City of Miracles, roaming over, and seeing that crimson Flesh Gate.

"Lightning Storm"!

Chumen pointed a finger, throwing out a True God-level Lightning Storm; one after another, lightning bolts of different colors bared their fangs and brandished their claws, expanding wantonly, shrouding that Flesh Gate in an ocean of thunder.

The Flesh Gate was merely transformed from the Characteristic of a "Summoning Master" and was not powerful; it rapidly turned into specks of radiance amidst the thunder.

But in doing so, the Miracle Labyrinth that Chumen had set up was also opened, and the True God-level power tore through the barrier of this Ancient God's Kingdom.

However, the Summoning Gate had already summoned all the power belonging to the Mother Goddess from across the entire world to this place, helping Her locate it.

Amon, Adam, Leodero, Herabogen, and Osekus, the five Kings of Angels, each broke free from the City of Miracles.

They each used their own means to quickly escape the attack range of the Lightning Storm and headed toward the core battlefield.

Chumen's gaze locked onto Leodero and the other three Kings of Angels; at this moment, he would not hesitate!

"It's too late..."

The reviving will of the "Mysteries" and Chumen's will were forcibly pulled together by "God," and Chumen was unable to break free.

Chumen looked up and saw a huge Red Moon.

It occupied Chumen's entire field of vision, and a crimson ocean seemed to be flowing upon the Red Moon.

As Chumen gazed at Her, the entire ocean boiled, rapidly condensing toward the center, continuously piling up, and finally forming a crimson phantom whose specific appearance could not be seen clearly.

The crimson ocean disappeared, and the lunar surface revealed craters, bright and cold.

But standing on the Moon was a figure countless times larger than this planet; the huge Moon was, at this moment, just a brick protruding from the sea of stars.

The countless eyeballs on that Mother Goddess's body turned simultaneously, looking down at the blue planet, looking down at the Dream.

She seemed to have locked eyes with Chumen for an instant.

"Let there be light." Sasriel, deep in the dream, woke up instantly.

He looked up toward the outside of the Starry Sky, knowing everything by virtue of being "Omniscient and Omnipotent," and then instinctively reacted, strengthening the World Barrier through the Authority of the "Lord of the Astral World."

This caused the power of that blood moon to be weakened by a great portion; after falling onto Chumen, there were only a few wisps of pale pink Corruption.

But Sasriel, who had already used his power twice, also faced the backlash of "God's" will.

Chumen woke up as if from a dream, cold sweat streaming down.

"Rest assured, She still cannot enter." The "Mysteries" seemed to know what Chumen was thinking and spoke up to remind him.

"Are you cooperating with Her?" Chumen's body froze for an instant, suffering Corruption, but the Dream Sea directly washed these pale pink traces of Corruption clean, not affecting Chumen's state.

"Why not?" There was a faint sense of pleasure in the voice of the "Mysteries."

"None of us wants to see a 'God' born." The "Mysteries" in Chumen's mind already had the image of pushing up a Monocle, watching all his reactions with great interest.

Whether it was the true "God" returning completely, or Sasriel's plan succeeding and Him stabilizing into a Quasi-Great Old One state after resurrection, this would cause great interference to the revival of the "Mysteries" and the erosion of Earth by Outer Gods like the "Fallen Mother Goddess."

"From this perspective, She is the enemy of us all; coincidentally, you are also one of us."

"So I am helping you kill Her." The "Mysteries" spoke in a relaxed tone, "Actually, it didn't need to be this troublesome; that friend of yours is also quite good, able to stalemate with Her until now."

"But your appearance gave Her some other thoughts, and thus some twists and turns."

As for what followed, They needed Sasriel to die quietly as well, while Chumen wanted Him to resurrect, which created a contradiction, so Chumen also suffered an "Iron Fist."

"Are you 'parasitizing' me now?" Chumen asked suddenly; the two spirits were entangled together, which was indeed very similar to "Parasitism," and the "Mysteries" could clearly perceive his emotional fluctuations.

And only then came this conversation that poked at his lungs.

"If you think so, then so be it." The tone of the "Mysteries" remained unchanged.

Chumen did not speak again, but instead lifted the maintenance of the existence of the "Error" Unique.

Crack!

A clear sound of disintegration came from the Dream Angel's body.

The balance formed by the three Uniques was broken, and the will of the "Mysteries" was significantly weakened.

This was the greatest insurance Chumen had for daring to awaken this "Mysteries"!

The "Error" Unique was entirely replicated by "Myriad Phenomena," and he had absolute control over it.

And the powerful force of the "Error" Unique exploding was enough to separate the remaining two Uniques, letting the "Mysteries" lie back in the coffin.

"Heh." The "Mysteries" did not even have a trace of loss of composure; She exploited a bug through the special entanglement with the Dream Angel and did not dissipate directly.

"Before 'God' dies completely, I will not disappear either."

"God" had once made a prophecy, letting a strange balance exist between the "Mysteries" and the Dream, and now this balance was being utilized by Her to maintain Her own existence.

Hum!

The Dream Angel turned his head subconsciously; Amon, Adam, and the other five Kings of Angels had already arrived at this place.

"Die!" Leodero saw Sasriel being besieged by several True Gods in the core battlefield, his eyes turning red, and he crazily lashed out with Lightning Spears, attacking all the besiegers indiscriminately.

Chumen's spiritual intuition stirred, and he lunged forward, intending to block all these thunderbolts.

But having only taken half a step, a chill surged from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

"Go on? Why have you stopped?" The voice of the Lord of Mysteries carried a mocking tone.

"Oh, now that you are with me, attacking you would be attacking two existences of Oldest One status at the same time!"
