Chapter 1116: Omebella (Seeking monthly votes at the start of the month)

Just as his feet steadied, the head on Lu Mian's left shoulder began to sway from side to side.

Whether it was the beautiful yet morbid face of Cheek or the violent, crazed gaze of Alista Tudor, both seemed somewhat confused.

Their consciousness, spirit, personality, and spirituality had been churned into a chaotic mass under the multiple fusions and the awakening of the original God, only to be separated into yin and yang, left and right, forming new consciousnesses and spirits that still bore the distinct marks of Cheek and Tudor.

Ultimately, such consciousness and spirit were sealed by the strange dark-gold mask along with the "Original God" whose true awakening was yet to be completed, with only their instincts able to seep through, separately influencing the different faces.

Their instinctive reactions seemed to be telling Lu Mian that this place was not quite the same as the scenes in their memories or expectations:

This was Alista Tudor's blood-colored palace, the place where he finally fell. There should have been remnants of various leaked powers from the source, yet it was remarkably "clean," with only formless flames burning everywhere and blackened pus evaporating and falling, never truly drying up.

Lu Mian, with the blood-colored banner mark still prominent between his brows, walked involuntarily toward that semi-collapsed, ostentatious palace. Along the way, the formless and colorless flames parted, as if welcoming the return of the emperor of this realm and the master of this palace. Lu Mian had to be careful to avoid the black pus that kept evaporating and falling.

He, with his three heads, stopped at the entrance of the semi-collapsed palace and found that a patch of darkness, so extreme that even the concept of "depth" seemed to be swallowed, blocked his path forward, forcing him to detour from the side of the palace.

Lu Mian let out a "tsk," as if mocking Alista Tudor:

"The 'Blood Emperor' who triggered the power of the 'City of Calamity' was ultimately killed by the 'River of Eternal Darkness,' and his corpse has become different because of it."

"These two powers sometimes extremely repel each other, and sometimes they fuse together. Once fused, it symbolizes destruction, enough to absorb and eliminate other powers left behind by the source in the vicinity."

"Your Majesty 'Blood Emperor,' do you still want to retrieve your own corpse? I'm afraid you'll be dragged back into the 'River of Eternal Darkness' by it—no, into the final destruction."

Lu Mian "talked to himself" while detouring toward the side door of the palace.

He was going to wait beside Alista Tudor's divine corpse, waiting for the "Red Angel" Medici to find him.

That place would be very suitable for a battle for him, who was equivalent to half of Alista Tudor, though his status had not yet "recovered."

Just as he arrived at the collapsed side door, where only a gap remained to squeeze through, Lu Mian suddenly discovered two corpses standing on the left and right outside the door.

They were male and female, both already ignited by the formless and colorless flames, yet they had not directly turned into ashes, instead retaining the state of charred corpses and a left hand that was entirely cyan, swollen to the point of translucency, and flowing with yellow-green pus inside.

The blood vessels of those four left hands were exceptionally clear, and together with the lines on the palms, they formed dense and complex symbols and patterns.

"'Decay Left Hand'..."

"Why would the Beyonders of the 'King of Decay' be placed here in the form of corpse statues..." Lu Mian's gaze moved downward, and unsurprisingly, he saw an ancient Tudor gold coin at the feet of each of these four corpses, with denominations of "2," "7," and "13."

Lu Mian's face twitched, feeling violent and destructive emotions surging up.

With one hand, he condensed a greatsword of black flames, about to strike at the four corpses.

Suddenly, a gentle female voice came from not far away:

"The meaning of their existence is to provide a symbol, making it highly probable that things that will go bad, do go bad."

Lu Mian turned both heads simultaneously and saw Madam Pualis, dressed in a black dress, with light eyebrows, bright brown eyes, and brown hair pinned into a high bun.

In Madam Pualis's arms was a baby girl with chubby cheeks, looking extremely cute.

This baby girl no longer had any sense of illusion; she was real, filled with a sense of substance.

Underground Trier.

As the mist of history eroded, the trunk of that "Tree of Shadow" became increasingly illusory, and the bark and branches gradually peeled away.

Although the "Tree of Shadow," which had a close connection to every human in Trier, could not be truly destroyed just like that, its aura was weakening rapidly, and the canopy extending above ground was withering into the depths, meter by meter.

Si E'a and Ti Rui'ai tried their best to support it, but they could not reverse this trend.

Somewhere in Fourth Epoch Trier.

Louis Gustave saw the babies on his body falling to the ground one after another, dying on the spot and turning into rotting corpses.

"0-59," "The Unmanned Kingdom"!

The babies who had turned into undead creatures had not yet had time to gain new life before they were illuminated by the "Fourth Day" hanging high in the sky, instantly purified and dissipated into nothingness.

A "mother" giving birth to children is not an evil act; it is sacred and does not fear the purification of the "Fourth Day," but by first transforming the babies into undead creatures, the "Fourth Day" could exert its effect.

The "mother body" that had lost all its babies showed pain on its face and collapsed with a boom, rapidly turning into a pool of flesh and blood. Those pieces of flesh were still wriggling, as if trying to reorganize into a bird's nest.

They were already dead during the reorganization, rotting and being born anew at the same time.

Sacred and brilliant sunlight enveloped them.

The "Red Angel" Medici and some metal puppets landed outside a wilderness shrouded in gray-white mist, appearing both illusory and real.

Above the wilderness, figures wandered silently, slowly walking toward the edge, toward them.

Seeing Madam Pualis and the baby Omebella, Lu Mian suddenly revealed a smile, raised the "Sword of Destruction" he had just condensed, and was about to strike at the other party.

"No need to be in such a hurry to act; we haven't chatted for a long time." A wilderness appeared around Madam Pualis, widening the distance between her and Lu Mian, while her gaze moved back and forth between Lu Mian's face and Aurora's eyes-closed face, appearing quite heartbroken.

Boom!

Amidst the violent explosion, her figure appeared on the other side of the "Other Shore World," and she said in a gentle tone:

"It's meaningless. Omebella has truly been born, and the expected ending has already arrived; there will be no more changes."

Madam Pualis's voice was like a mother's, actually smoothing out the violence and madness in Lu Mian's heart.

Lu Mian stopped his attack and looked at her, saying:

"Omebella..."

He originally wanted to ask when Omebella was born, but as the words reached his lips, his head ached, and he had a certain spiritual premonition.

He turned to ask instead:

"In the dream city, why didn't you, or rather, the 'Fallen Mother Goddess,' help the Celestial Worthy, letting Him fail?"

Madam Pualis, holding the baby Omebella, answered with a smile:

"I entered the dream city, besides wanting to see you and Aurora, for only one purpose:"

"That is, when the Celestial Worthy had the possibility of reversing the situation, to represent the 'Great Mother' and crush His backup plans and hope."

"However, you all did a great job and didn't give me that opportunity."

"Why?" Lu Mian asked, frowning.

Shouldn't they maintain the balance?

Madam Pualis said with her smile unchanged:

"After the hostel incident, the 'Mother's' thinking changed. She hoped that the 'Fool' would win."

"In this way, the 'Fool' will begin the process of both opposing and fusing with the Celestial Worthy, while also accommodating the 'Sefirah Castle.' Such a process will be very difficult to interrupt. If He encounters a crisis again, even if that 'Fool' wants to give up and hand everything over to the Celestial Worthy, or if the Celestial Worthy is willing to compromise and cooperate with the 'Fool' to control the 'Sefirah Castle,' the corresponding state will not be so easy to break and change; it will require a lot of time."

"Before the state is completely changed, the strength that the 'Lord of the Mysteries' can exert is at most equivalent to Greisha Adam during the Vortex Plan, and the premise for reaching this level is that the Celestial Worthy is willing to compromise."

"Such a 'Lord of the Mysteries,' no matter what abilities He uses, cannot break the barrier formed by the Creator in the Mirror within a short time, nor can He stop what is about to happen next, the thing the 'Mother' has been looking forward to for a long time."

Lu Mian recalled the various things that had just happened and suddenly realized that the big event tonight was not over yet.

He laughed:

"It seems you don't trust that the Celestial Worthy will keep His promise after truly waking up either."

"No one would trust an 'Old One' who symbolizes deception." Madam Pualis gently rocked her arms, as if wanting to let the Omebella in her arms sleep a little longer.

Lu Mian looked at Omebella and then said:

"When was she truly born?"

"And what will her birth bring?"

Madam Pualis answered with a faint smile:

"After you were dragged into the special mirror world."

She explained with a smile:

"Calamity needs to stay away from the mother, but have you ever thought that you are not the calamity, but the mother, the mother who gives birth to Omebella?"

"The great terror of the special mirror world comes from the combination of the two paths of calamity, so it can naturally symbolize calamity?" Lu Mian suddenly realized the true direction of the revelation from Mr. "Fool."

This was a destiny that even Great Beings could not see clearly.

Madam Pualis looked at Aurora with lingering affection, sighed, and said:

"This is an interpretation of the revelation; in fact, there is a deeper reason."

She turned to look at Lu Mian and asked with deep brown eyes:

"Haven't you noticed? The twins of Tudor and Cheek were also one girl and one boy, also sister and brother."

Sister and brother... Yes, Chrismana and the "Witch of Gray" Judith were once sister and brother! Lu Mian suddenly had a very bad premonition.

Madam Pualis revealed a smile again:

"For the True Gods of the 'Hunter' and 'Witch' paths, it is normal for twins to be one boy and one girl; it would be abnormal if they weren't. But why were they sister and brother, not brother and sister?"

"Because, they are also a kind of mapping of Omebella and Gidas."

"As for the reason..."

Madam Pualis lowered her head to look at the baby in her arms and said with a smile:

"Omebella is more ancient than you imagine."

"In the mid-First Epoch, she and Gidas were born. At that time, the Giant King Aurmir was still a pure, crazed monster at the demigod level."

"Their mother, strictly speaking, was not the 'Great Mother,' but the 'Mother Tree of Desire' torn from the 'Great Mother.' When the 'Mother Tree of Desire' was still inside the 'Great Mother,' Omebella and Gidas were not conceived."

"More importantly, their father, the father in the true sense, the father who gave birth to them with the 'Mother Tree of Desire'."

"Can you guess who He is?"

In the dream of Lady "Justice" Audrey.

The ancient dragon Edfana looked at Lady "Magician" and Lady "Justice," and said in a buzzing voice:

"I can provide you with another important piece of information, information originating from the mid-First Epoch."

Lady "Magician" and Lady "Justice" suddenly felt inexplicably nervous.

Edfana said in a tone filled with resentment and hatred:

"The mother of the Giant Queen Omebella is the 'Mother Tree of Desire' currently sealed in the Western Continent."

"Her father is:"

"The original God!"
