Ring of Fate

Chapter 844 Brand
Jane was stunned for a moment and said:

"Yes."

At first, they believed that the special mirror world was the product of the "War of the Four Emperors", created by the aftermath of the fierce battle between the "Original Witch" and the "Blood Emperor" and other True Gods of the Fourth Epoch. Later, Lumian explored the treasure house of the "Blue Avenger" and discovered new information. He suspected that the special mirror world existed before the "War of the Four Emperors", and speculated that it was used by the "Blood Emperor" Alistair Tudor to deal with the "Original Witch" and prepare for resurrection.

At that time, what puzzled them the most was how Alistair Tudor, the true god of the "Hunter" path, could create such a special and strange mirror world. Could it be that the high-ranking people of the "Apprentice" path under him were involved?

Franka then said with emotion:
"According to Lumian and our experience, 'Hunters' can bring disasters, and 'Witches' can also bring disasters. Doesn't the true God of the 'Hunter' path plus the true God of the 'Witch' path equal the concept of disaster? No wonder Trier in the Fourth Epoch ended up like that...

"However, the True Gods from adjacent paths can actually cooperate in a friendly manner. Shouldn't they be unable to restrain their urge to gather together when they meet, to determine who is superior and who is inferior, and to decide life and death?"

This question also puzzled Jane. She pursed her lips slightly, thought for a moment and said:

"Is there any way to control that urge to gather?"

"This is in my blind spot. I have to wait until I become an angel before I can get in touch with the corresponding mystical knowledge, right?" Franka joked to herself, and habitually diverged her thoughts. "The 'Original Witch' may be able to do it, but the 'Blood Emperor' definitely can't. According to the history of the Fourth Epoch that we have learned so far, He is a violent, bloody, and cruel madman. How can He control himself? Unless someone helps, who can help?"

Janna was stunned for a moment, and said thoughtfully:

"Tamara's family..."

"Uh..." Franka's eyes gradually brightened. "Yes, the Tamara family should have been taking the 'apprentice' path as the mainstream at that time. The high-ranking people in the 'apprentice' path are good at sealing and controlling space, and can also use the mirror world to a certain extent. Well, this can well explain the issue of the Tamara family's presence in the special mirror world."

One of the two special mirror world fragments in her and Janna's hands came from Tamara's family tomb.
Franka became more and more excited as she spoke:
"The Tamara family should be the bridge of communication between the 'Blood Emperor' and the 'Original Witch'. They are carrying out a secret mission! And because of their long-term contact with the Witch Cult, it is reasonable for some of their family members to join them after the split.

"Moreover, moreover, since Lady Christmenna is a descendant of the Blood Emperor, then her twin brother, the current Grey Witch, should also be a direct descendant of the Blood Emperor. The Apprentice branch of the Tamara family has endured humiliation and endured heavy burdens for more than a thousand years, willing to become a woman, just to continue to be loyal to the Blood Emperor. They are so loyal, so loyal!"

As she spoke, Franka pretended to wipe away her tears, indicating that she was moved.

Jenna had long been accustomed to this guy's boundless divergent thinking and nonsense jokes, so she asked a question on her own:
"The Tamara family only had a Sequence 2 'Apprentice' Path Angel at the time. Could it really seal the Blood Emperor's aggregation impulse?"

"The Tamara family can't do that. What about Mr. 'Gate'? Lumian said that he is the number one noble in the Tudor Empire, and Amon, who ranks behind him, is definitely the Angel King. So he is most likely also an Angel King in the 'apprentice' path. He should be able to temporarily seal the Blood Emperor's aggregation impulse, right?" Franka said seriously, considering, "Is Mr. 'Gate' involved in the special mirror world?"

"It's possible." Janna agreed.

The normal mirror world is originally a collection of the concept of "door".

Franka's train of thought suddenly went astray, and she laughed softly:
"There is another possibility. The combination of the True God of the Hunter Path and the True God of the Witch Path is different from that of other paths. First, Yin and Yang attract each other, and then Yin and Yang blend together. After reaching a certain point, they will devour each other and decide the final winner."

Janna couldn't help but turn her eyes upward.

Franka is telling off-color jokes again.

Of course, for Janna, who used to hang out in various bars and dance halls in the market area and lived as a "flashy girl" for a long time, this level of vulgar jokes was for minors.

Franka immediately stopped smiling:

"Now I can truly understand what the 'Black Witch' said. No wonder she asked me why I felt that the Witch Cult did not control that special mirror world, saying that the special mirror world was controlled by the Original One until the end of the 'Four Emperors War'.

"But she also believes that the special mirror world was originally used to deal with the Original, but was later controlled by the Original... Is it that she doesn't know the original secrets and the life experience of the 'Gray Witch', or is she simply lying to me, fooling me, or, the 'Blood Emperor' did want to deal with the Original in the beginning, but the other party took control of the unformed special mirror world, so he turned to cooperation?

“Or, alternatively, the purpose of cooperation is to deal with?

"Well, what is their purpose in creating such a special mirror world?"

Janna shook her head honestly:
"do not know."

Franka grabbed her ponytail and said thoughtfully:

"The 'Black Witch' is both a descendant of the original and has the blood of Tamara's family. Her understanding of the special mirror world may be deeper than I thought."

Janna hummed and rubbed her forehead:
"No matter what, we have to report this information quickly."

Franca glanced at Janna, cleared her throat and said:

"You also need to go back and rest well to adapt to the changes that the potion has caused to your body."

…………

At the foot of the mountain of corpses, Lumian closed his eyes, leaned against the corpses and skeletons, and listened attentively to the dull voice coming from the brass earphones.

He is completing his studies.

He no longer needs to finish listening to all the remaining books. It is probably enough to just master the current one, but even so, it will still take more than ten hours.

As time passed, Lumian's body became weaker and weaker. Even with his back against the corpses and bones, he could no longer sit upright. He relied on external force to keep from falling.

His spiritual energy was also evaporating at a rapid rate, making him unable to even use "teleportation" anymore.

Fortunately, he had collected the item left by Sallyste in advance, and the occult pathogens in the air had been affected by the activation of "0-01" and had dissipated completely. His condition was not so serious that his heart could not beat properly and his spirit showed signs of collapse, and he could still barely hold on.

After an unknown amount of time, Lumian suddenly became alert, his body regained its strength, and his spirit was recharged.

It was six o'clock in the morning, according to Cordu village time.

Lumian, his body reset and no longer sick, sat up straight and continued with the last part of his study.

After nearly three quarters of an hour, he uttered a word in ancient Hermetic language in a low voice:

"stop!"

He felt that the pollution had reached a critical point and could not accumulate any further!
As soon as the brass charm finished transferring knowledge, Lumian's mind became hazy.

Faintly, he "saw" the charred flag covered with dangerous blood spots again. The flag was surrounded by thick darkness and was swaying gently.

Lumian also "saw" corpses all over the ground, "saw" a huge army, "saw" the ground stained with blood, and "saw" countless broken arms and limbs...

His nose was then pierced by a strong smell of blood and rust, which seemed to come from himself.

Lumian felt a calling, not only from the charred flag, but also from the thick darkness surrounding it.

The heat and coldness in the palm of his right hand became more and more obvious.

They come from the residual breath of the "Blood Emperor" and the seal left by the "Underworld Man" respectively.

At this moment, Lumian suddenly understood another purpose of the Aurora Society's believer in arranging the "Dream Festival", a deeper purpose:
"After being sealed by the Dark Man, I have truly gained mystical similarities with 0-01...

"'0-01' once belonged to the 'Blood Emperor' Alistair Tudor, and then was controlled by the 'God of Death' and contaminated by the power of the 'God of Death' path. The latter was also used by the Church of Knowledge to complete the seal of '0-01' itself. Now, I have the residual breath of the 'Blood Emperor' on my body, and the seal left by the 'Underworld Man' who possesses the power of the three paths of 'God of Death', 'Night' and 'Warrior'..."

With his thoughts racing, Lumian combined what he had learned with the performance of Albus and Julie, stood up in that strange and dangerous summoning, and "teleported" to the top of the Mountain of Corpses.

He did not open his eyes. In the dead silent and cold darkness, even if he opened his eyes, he could not see anything.

As the distance shortened, Lumian felt a noticeable stinging pain between his brows, and his blood or something else seemed to be trying to come out of his pores and flesh.

Lumian did not resist and endured the pain.

Finally, a drop of something that looked like blood tore through his brow and flew out, flying towards where "0-01" was.

A popping sound was heard, and the remaining aura of the "Blood Emperor" in Lumian's body suddenly boiled over. It was like a long river of fire, raging through Lumian's spirit, internal organs, and flesh.

The cold and rotten feeling in Lumian's palms became stronger, and he would not let the river of fire break free of the seal with all his flesh and blood.

Lumian was soon in so much pain that he almost lost consciousness. It was not until the remaining breath of the "Blood Emperor" gradually subsided that he slowly regained his consciousness.

He let out a long breath and said silently to himself:

"It should be the agent of '0-01'...

"If it weren't for the seal of the 'Underworld Man', I would definitely become another Vanak. No, not another Vanak, but Alistair Tudor. The 'Blood Emperor' will return through my body."

Lumian did not dare to stay near "0-01" for long, fearing that the seal would discover that its new agent still had some flaws, flaws in his own will.

Lumian also knew that with his current status and strength, it was impossible for him to bring "0-01" out of Morola. Even if the Church of Knowledge agreed to let him do so, it would only lead to his own destruction.

Phew, leaving the mark and becoming an agent would mean successfully completing this mission. Unfortunately, "0-01" is tightly sealed, and the special features of the agent can only be fully demonstrated in Morola... Lumian muttered a few words and "teleported" back to the wilderness.

He then sensed a team of undead soldiers and iron puppets patrolling silently in the darkness, wandering around forever.

Lumian suddenly had an idea:
The connection between the contractors told him that the one leading the group was the "abscessed hand"!
This mysterious creature gradually grew bones and flesh after being attacked by God, but seemed to have been conquered by "0-01" and became its guard.

Is the Broken Hand's trait that he can't be killed? Lumian turned sideways and let the "Pus-Severed Hand" and the group of puppets pass by.

Suddenly, the Abscessed Hand stopped, stopped in front of Lumian, and made a low voice:

"Omibella..."
