Chapter 171: Fooling Fate
Antigonus's sister is a "Servant of Concealment," the only Angel of the "Night" Pathway outside the Evernight Church.
She is the daughter of the Ancient God "Destruction Demon Wolf," a natural Mythical Creature, and is currently the object of worship in the Night Kingdom—the Mother of Heaven.
The Night Kingdom was established by her and Antigonus together.
Previously, the Northern Continent was under the rule of the Solomon Empire, and this small country was not destroyed, surviving due to the protection of Antigonus and Dream.
But now they are facing the Trensost Empire, the state religion of which is the entire Evernight Church.
"Sister, I need your help."
"Antigonus" returned to the Night Kingdom and met the "Mother of Heaven."
This was also part of the ritual, deepening Fate's recognition of Antigonus's identity.
"..." The "Mother of Heaven's" faint figure walked out from the depths of the Shenshen, took a look at "Antigonus," and asked, "Are you going to accommodate the 'Fool Mask'?"
"Yes." "Antigonus" nodded gently.
"..." The "Mother of Heaven" was silent for a long time, but under "Antigonus's" insistence, she still agreed.
Afterward, "Antigonus" began to accommodate the "Fool Mask" with the help of "Hidden" power.
Dressed in a black classical gown with her face shrouded in a mist, the "Mother of Heaven" walked out from the fog; she extended a finger and tapped lightly, and "Antigonus" was hidden in terms of Fate.
Without sufficiently powerful help, "Antigonus" could only actively attempt the accommodation; what she relied on was actually her own "Dream Mark" and her connection to the "Fool Mask."
Clearly, this failed.
The Dream Mark did not play its true role at the necessary moment, fading in color as if it were fake, and the connection between the "Fool Mask" and "Antigonus" was far from that tight.
"How is this possible?!" "Antigonus" was on the verge of losing control.
In that palace shrouded in mist, transparent, twisted worms gathered into a mass, growing wantonly, and strange, slimy tentacles extended from the "Fool Mask," destroying everything within reach.
The "Mother of Heaven" revoked the "Hidden," and that mass of worms truly appeared in this world.
At this moment, the fate of "Antigonus" failing to accommodate the Unique became history, recorded by Fate.
The "Mother of Heaven" made no move, watching the mass of tentacles coldly; she had likely long known that the brother before her was an impostor, and was merely cooperating out of a tacit understanding.
"Release." At this moment, a familiar voice sounded behind her.
The real Antigonus appeared, the space that isolated Fate manifested here, and three Kings of Angels stood behind Antigonus.
The real Antigonus lifted the "Tamper," Amon pinched the Monocle lightly, and the stolen Fate returned.
The out-of-control "Antigonus" and the truly intact Antigonus stood face to face; at this moment, an irreconcilable contradiction appeared in Fate.
What was recorded on Fate was that "Antigonus" had failed the advancement and lost control, but the current situation was that Antigonus had not accommodated the Unique at all and existed completely.
Fate was fooled.
Antigonus reached out and "Tampered" the relationship between the "Fool Mask" and himself to "I have already fused with the Unique."
This directly led to the revival of the "Lord of the Mysteries'" will within him!
Hum!
The appearance of a certain ancient aura caused the expressions of Adam and the three Kings of Angels to change slightly, each making their own responses.
At the same time, Chumen, who had been watching this place, gently opened the Dream Book and moved the entire Hornacis Mountain Range into the Dream Kingdom.
This could prevent the revived "Lord of the Mysteries'" will from affecting Sefirah Castle and borrowing power.
Not to mention anything else, the coffin lid of the Dead Trickster must be pressed down tight!
Antigonus, facing the Mysteries Revival will head-on, had long been prepared; he used all the "Anchors" he had in the Night Kingdom and the Solomon Empire to balance the reviving will.
This played a certain role to some extent, allowing Antigonus to gain a degree of clarity.
Then, the aid from the three Kings of Angels also arrived.
Adam's "Pacify" made his spirit more active and powerful, Amon "Gifted" the sleep stolen from the Dark Kingdom, and Bethel directly threw down a Lightning Storm.
Antigonus wanted to utilize the power of "Miracle" to suppress the "Lord of the Mysteries'" will during his death and resurrection, thoroughly accommodate the Unique, and maintain self-awareness.
The "Lord of the Mysteries'" will had not even truly awakened yet, but it was already communicating with "Sefirah Castle," yet it was isolated by the Dream Kingdom and could only rely on the power Antigonus possessed to resist.
But this simplified ritual was completed quite well this time; Antigonus's self-awareness was very stable, and with the Kings of Angels assisting, the awakening will was suppressed too heavily.
The next moment, a black tide surged from the void; it was the power of fear and sleep.
"Father God?!" Antigonus and the "Mother of Heaven" exclaimed.
That power of fear and sleep came from the "Mother of Heaven"; she had arranged this place to look much like the God's Kingdom of the "Destruction Demon Wolf" back then.
"Flegrea..." Chumen, watching this, nodded gently, not surprised.
This Destruction Demon Wolf clearly had left resurrection contingencies on Antigonus and the "Fool Mask," but now the "Lord of the Mysteries'" will had revived and directly swallowed her arrangements, using them for itself after "Fooling."
Ssh!
A faint figure quietly entered the Dream Kingdom.
"Destruction Demon Wolf!"
Amanises appeared beside Chumen, looking at Antigonus on the Hornacis Mountain Range.
She was the Lord of Sleep and Silence; the surging of this kind of power could not be hidden from her.
"As expected..." She nodded gently, already understanding the situation.
"In front of the 'Lord of the Mysteries,' Flegrea is simply not enough."
It was just that under the circumstance where the "Night" Pathway Characteristics were almost entirely occupied by Amanises, she only had this choice.
Now that it had been swallowed by the "Lord of the Mysteries," it was truly miserable.
"You do it." Chumen nodded, signaling.
"Alright." Amanises did not refuse, and with Chumen's permission, she influenced the Dream Mark on Antigonus through the Dream Kingdom.
Ssh!
That power of sleep and fear stalled instantly, and then was thoroughly suppressed under the emergence of Dream Phosphor.
At this moment, the attacks of those three Kings of Angels suddenly intensified!
This time, a powerful force descended upon Antigonus; he restrained his body's instincts and did not resist, his body turning to ash under the Lightning.
But the next instant, the Grey Fog of history surged from the place where he had died, and Antigonus, who had just accommodated the Unique of the "Fool", resurrected and returned.
On Antigonus's face was that "Fool Mask" which revealed only two eyes, his eerie pupils staring at the several Angels before him.
