Chapter 804: The most special point (Thanks to Mr

~9 min read 1,780 words

The True God is unique... What does this mean? It is impossible for another "Primordial Witch" to exist, whether it is the one in the mirror or the one in the painting? Franca pondered the last sentence of the "Black Witch," feeling that it seemed to contain very important and critical occult knowledge.

As for Clarice's speculation that the projection of the "Primordial Witch" in the mirror had undergone certain mutations, Franca had thought so before—when the "Black Witch" obtained that pitch-black "Primordial Witch" statue, she had once said nonchalantly, "Those 'people in the mirror' worship the Primordial in the mirror, but that is actually just a projection of the Primordial in the mirror," without explaining it specifically. At that time, Franca had already been guessing that perhaps the projection of the "Primordial Witch" in the mirror had mutated.

But the problem is, based on this speculation, one can well explain why the "Witches" further lost control of that special mirror world after the Pale Disaster. Because as far as Franca knows, in the "Pale Disaster," the "God of Death" fell, and the "Primordial Witch" suffered heavy damage. Such a Primordial certainly could not prevent the projection in the mirror from mutating deeply, and thus could no longer well control the corresponding special mirror world and that projection, which also led to her own failure to recover from the heavy damage for over a thousand years.

Franca felt that if she could draw such a conclusion with her shallow understanding of the "Pale Disaster," the "Black Witch" could not possibly be unable to explain it, unless she was completely unaware of the outcome of the "Pale Disaster," or had long ago obtained other strong evidence, ruling out the possibility that the "Primordial Witch" suffered heavy damage in the divine war, leading to the "Witches" further losing the right to control that special mirror world.

After pondering for a while, Franca asked cautiously:

"Is the black statue I handed in before possible evidence of the mutation of the Primordial's mirror projection?"

The "Black Witch" did not nod or shake her head, but instead taught occult knowledge:

"The most special node of our 'Assassin' pathway is Sequence 7 'Witch.' This is not only because it changes our gender, but also because it leaves a distinct and strong brand of us in the mirror world. It is precisely because of such a brand that we can use corresponding mirror magic."

This is talking about the problem of every "Witch's" mirror person... Franca suddenly had a flash of inspiration and seized the opportunity to say:

"Before, Mo Lan Avigny said that the one in the mirror is our true self, the self that was banished and sealed..."

Clarice shook her head with a bit of sadness:

"I believe Mo Lan Avigny did not lie to you. They, these 'people in the mirror,' think so, believing that they are the real ones. But do you think this conclusion, given from their own standpoint, can be completely trusted?"

"Have you forgotten your past self, forgotten that indelible pain?"

"No." Franca answered sincerely, "I often recall my past self and my past life, and often imagine if I hadn't chosen the 'Assassin' potion, would some things have had different results."

The "Black Witch" nodded pityingly:

"We still remember. As long as we haven't forgotten, there cannot be such a thing as banishing the original self. If one day, we are no longer pained by loss, have forgotten the past, and are immersed in the current state, the strong brand we left in the mirror might appear activated in an occult sense, leading to our cognitive confusion and gradual loss of control."

"In this regard, having been male and always missing one's male self is our main advantage in maintaining self and avoiding loss of control."

"Then wouldn't pure female 'Witches' be very dangerous?" Franca pretended to be suddenly enlightened and let her thoughts wander.

She was actually worried about Jenna.

"There will be no pure female 'Witches'." Clarice answered coldly.

Kill them if encountered? And, if it weren't for that sacrificial square in the catacombs, Jenna should have lost control and died when she advanced to "Witch"... Franca did not inquire deeply into this aspect, fearing to arouse the "Black Witch's" suspicion.

Clarice continued:

"Apart from the products of the special mirror world, in fact, everyone also has a mirror person. Every time we look in a mirror, a mirror person is produced. But for people outside the 'Witch' pathway, this mirror person is a temporary projection. After the person leaves the mirror's reflection, the corresponding mirror person will quickly dissipate and cease to exist."

"But we 'Witches' are different. The mirror person formed by that strong brand will always exist and become more and more powerful as our sequence increases. When reaching the deity stage, because the True God is unique, the brand will return to the main body and merge with oneself. From then on, one is both a real existence and an object in the mirror, possessing both states simultaneously."

It has similarities with what Mo Lan Avigny said, and the "Black Witch" did not deny that the strong brand we left in the mirror can be called a mirror person... Her words and Mo Lan Avigny's words should both have told part of the truth, but not the whole truth. Piecing them together might be able to restore a certain fact that can be believed... Franca nodded thoughtfully:

"That is to say, the appearance of that black statue is abnormal, and it should have already merged with the main body?"

"This is also the reason why we speculate that the Primordial lost part of her characteristics and the mirror projection might have mutated." Clarice affirmed Franca's statement.

But according to this logic, the white statue on every member of the Witch Sect is also something that shouldn't appear... The "Primordial Witch" is also called the "Chaos Witch" and should be neither white nor black, unless the white of the white statue and the black of the black statue do not represent the real self and the mirror self, but another kind of opposition... Franca did not dare to speak out these thoughts that arose spontaneously.

The "Black Witch" further said:

"Pitch-black statues are rare. Not every special 'mirror person' possesses one, and even those like Mo Lan Avigny who have a certain status and important role do not."

"Specifically which ones can possess them is currently unknown."

Right... Franca was stunned for a moment, regretting that she didn't ask Mo Lan Avigny about the black "Primordial Witch" statue at that time.

She and Lu Mian previously both thought there was nothing to investigate:

Isn't it just a special existence worshipped by "mirror people"?

Isn't it enough to ask directly for the deity's honorific name and related information? There is no need to pay attention to the origin of such a statue...

Franca revealed a look of annoyance, then asked tentatively:

"Then shouldn't we work hard to destroy the seal of Fourth Epoch Trier, so that that special mirror world is no longer restricted, allowing the Primordial to regain control of it and complete the fusion?"

"Why still clean up the 'mirror people'?"

The "Black Witch" said sternly:

"It is completely different when opened by us and when opened by them."

Is it the difference between who dominates, the white statue or the black statue? Franca is a transmigrator who has read various books, and her imagination is not rich.

The "Black Witch" didn't give her a chance to ask:

"What we need to do now is to clean up the 'mirror people' in Trier and destroy their schemes. If we can collect important information from the bottom layer of the special mirror world in the process, that would be even better."

"Yes, my lady." Franca took the opportunity to make a request, "I am tracking a 'mirror person' and need items that can travel through mirrors and help transmit information through mirrors. The 'mirror buckle' I obtained before is running out of uses."

The "Black Witch" Clarice nodded gently:

"Okay, I will prepare it for you."

She paused and added:

"Remember, the mirror world is both mysterious and dangerous, and it is also a source of why we 'Witches' are powerful. Do not resist approaching it, but also do not underestimate it."

"Compared to the 'Hunter' pathway, the mirror world is our most special point."

The most special point... Franca suddenly felt that the "Black Witch" was implying that the importance of the mirror world was far beyond imagination.

After exchanging more secrets of the Witch Sect and occult knowledge of the "Assassin" pathway, Franca asked the last question:

"My lady, can the 'disease' of the 'Pain Witch' expand the types of pathogens?"

"What do you mean?" The "Black Witch" frowned slightly, looking pitiful.

"I mean, can we look for those special pathogens and find ways to integrate them into our 'disease' ability? Simply diseases like pneumonia, cerebral infarction, and cardiac arrest are powerful, but they lack imagination. I remember some pathogens can cause lethargy, and some can make muscles completely weak..." Franca expounded on her concept.

The "Black Witch" was silent for several seconds before saying:

"After becoming a 'Despair Witch,' you can create 'pathogens' with different effects in an occult sense yourself. Now there is no way. The scope of 'disease' is already fixed in the Beyonder characteristics, unless..."

"Unless what?" Franca asked curiously.

The "Black Witch" said with a look of longing and admiration:

"Unless the Primordial modifies the scope of 'disease' as the True God of the 'Witch' pathway."

Can it still be like this? Is this a deity? Is this the influence of a deity on their own pathway? Franca was stunned for a moment, truly realizing what the word "True God" represented.

…………

Morora, inside the "Carnivore" tavern.

Lu Mian lay on the bed, eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep, but he was actually closely monitoring the movements on Zhu Li's side.

He suspected that Celeste, the "Witch" who had ostensibly become an experimental subject, would take advantage of the night to find Zhu Li and exchange important information about Morora that she had mastered.

The night grew darker, and Lu Mian suddenly felt a bit restless, feeling as if ambiguous factors were flowing in the air.

In his mind, he couldn't help but flash back to the seductive scenes he had seen before.
