Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 366: The Path to Godhood, the Secret of Birth

Hearing the name from Bai Shi's mouth, Messermo supported his head with one hand and said lightly:

"Micaela..."

"I did see him. I should say he came to me on his own."

When Bai Shi heard that Messermo had indeed met Michaela, he immediately became alert.

Ever since he learned of Michaela's ambition to become a god in front of the sealed spiral tower Einir Ilium at the end of Tower Town, Bai Shi has been very concerned about his plan.

After all, it is better not to have infinite Tsukuyomi hypnosis at the entire border area.

However, there were too few ways to get the news at that time, and even among the followers, only Reda knew part of Michaela's plan.

But if we attack Leida, it will definitely alert the enemy.

If Michaela continues to disappear like she did during the Shattered War, we might never find her again.

Finally there was news about Michaela, and Bai Shi's mouth corners gradually rose.

"Great, can you tell me more about that?"

Messermo recalled the scene at that time and said slowly:
“It’s been a while since this happened.”

"For some reason, he found a gap in the seal of the Shadow Land and slipped in."

"I don't know where he got the information about the Shadow Land, but he obviously came prepared."

"Whether it's about what happened on this land, or the deeper secrets..."

"After finding me, Michaela revealed her identity."

"Our communication was quite harmonious, and he ended up staying in Shadow City for a few days."

Messermo paused and continued:
"Since the Shadow Land was sealed, it has been completely isolated from the outside world."

“During this time, he also kept me informed of what was happening on the border.”

"Especially the great changes caused by the shattering of the Circle."

Bai Shi was not surprised by the way Messermo treated Michaela.

Michaela's identity should be spotless to Messermo.

As the golden demigod conceived by Marika, he is also a god-man, and his identity is clear.

Not only that, even without using the power of charm, Michaela is naturally able to make people feel good about her.

As long as it's not someone like Bai Shi who clearly wants to have sex with him, there will be no conflicts when they meet for the first time.

Bai Shi hurriedly asked:
"So what else did Michaela do? Or did he tell you anything about what he wanted to do?"

"Michaela didn't come to see you just to chat, right?"

Messermo raised his head and glanced at Bai Shi curiously.

"Yes, after a few days of contact, Michaela made a request to me."

"Micaela wants me to unlock the seal of the 'Tower of God', Enil Ilium."

"I guess Michaela must want to use the miracle to pass through the gate of God and imitate her mother's deification ceremony."

"But at the end of the holy war, Mother used the power of the Shadow Tree to completely seal that place, so that no one can enter again."

"The seal can only be released if a special fire is used to ignite the seal tree."

When Michaela mentioned Enil Elim, Messermo roughly guessed what he was thinking.

After all, apart from the 'Gate of God', there is nothing there.

However, for Messermo, Michaela's desire to become a god was not something completely incomprehensible.

Apart from wanting to become a god, what other reason could make a demigod find out the existence of the Shadow Land from clues and come here?
Although what happened at the border was unbelievable to Messerschmitt, since it happened, the gods did have the right to succeed to the throne.

And Michaela is undoubtedly the one who is closest to this goal, and he even found himself in the Shadow Land.

But this does not mean that Messermo will follow Michaela's wishes and assist him.

Messermo chuckled twice and spoke again:

"Of course, it's impossible for me to unlock the seal."

"This is the Shadow Land, which is completely different from the border where they are."

"Besides my mother, I don't need to obey anyone, nor do I need to care about their so-called inheritance rules."

"I turned Michaela down."

"Then within a few days, Michaela left."

"As for his subsequent movements, there is no news. He has not revealed his whereabouts in my sphere of influence again."

"...You're paying so much attention to Michaela's signs. It seems like you have some issues with him."

Bai Shi nodded and admitted it.

"According to the information I have, Michaela wants to become a god."

"He is born with the power of charm, which can make creatures feel favorable to him unconsciously."

"If I'm guessing correctly, Michaela wants to use this power to charm all the lives on the border after becoming a god."

"Michaela wanted to create a 'peaceful' borderland full of puppets."

"I cannot accept such a world. I must stop it."

Bai Shi looked at Messemo and knew that the next information would have to be obtained by his elder brother-in-law.

"It's just that I still know almost nothing about becoming a god."

"The conditions for becoming a god, and the power after becoming a god, these are what I urgently need to know now."

"Only by knowing this can we deduce Michaela's plan."

After understanding what Michaela wanted to do, Messermo was also shocked by this amazing wisdom.

Frowning, Messermo sat up straight.

"It turned out to be like this... No wonder he came to me."

"It seems that he is indeed a dangerous person."

"Although when Michaela made the request, I knew he wanted to become a god."

"But I didn't expect that his ultimate goal was to realize this absurd idea."

Messermo shook his head, not taking the matter as seriously as he had imagined.

"But the seal is still intact now. It is definitely impossible for Michaela to enter the 'Tower of God'."

Bai Shi suddenly thought of something and retorted:
"Not necessarily."

"When we met, was Michaela's body intact?"

Messermo raised an eyebrow.

Although Bai Shi's question was very strange, Messemo still told him the truth:

"Of course it's complete... No, I haven't seen him like this before."

"Although he looked normal at the time, it seems that we cannot be sure that it was his original appearance."

"Why do you ask that?"

Bai Shi touched his chin, thinking about something.

"In the Shadowlands, Mikaela left traces of his movements."

"That is, the sign of the cross of Michaela."

"Beneath those marks lies the body that Michaela abandoned."

"I guess that Michaela wants to give up everything about herself and pass through the seal as a soul."

"Perhaps there is a body of him left in Shadow City. With the influence of the enchanting power, ordinary soldiers may turn a blind eye to this anomaly."

Messermo frowned and began to think about the feasibility of this method. In Messermo's opinion, this seal has absolutely no loopholes. Can the soul really enter?
That was a seal created by my mother with the help of the power of the Shadow Tree.

Before burning the Sealed Tree, even he himself couldn't enter it.

And even if the soul entered, without the guidance of the king, how could Michaela pass through the "Gate of God" and become a god?
No matter what Michaela thought, he couldn't do anything.

However, although he thought that Michaela had no other options, Messermo kept this matter in mind.

His next plan was to have the knights pay more attention to see if they could find out Michaela's movements in case an accident really happened.

Nodding to Bai Shi, Messermo spoke again:
"This news is important. I will pay attention to it."

"Don't worry, I don't want the world to become like that."

Messermo changed the subject and talked about the Gate of God that Bai Shi had been thinking about:
"Since you said you wanted to know about becoming a god in the Spiral Tower, then I'll tell you about it."

"My and Melina's mother, Queen Malika, is the goddess of the golden tree."

"But few people know that my mother became a god through the miracle of 'God's Gate' in Enil Ilium."

"If you want to pass through the 'Gate of God' and become a god, you must meet several conditions at the same time."

Messermo raised his fingers one by one and gestured towards Bai Shi and Melina.

"First, there must be laws strong enough to become gods."

"The second point is that there must be a king who can lead the gods, otherwise you will be lost in it."

"Third, in order to open the 'Gate of God', there must be a sacrifice."

"As for whether there are any other conditions, I don't know."

Putting down the three fingers he had raised, Messermo spoke again:
"That's why I'm not worried about Michaela entering the Enil Ilium."

"Even if he succeeds in getting his soul inside, he won't be able to meet the other conditions."

Bai Shi kept these conditions in mind, but became even more confused.

Michaela must have sufficient knowledge about the 'Gate of God' and should not be unaware of the other conditions.

But under such circumstances, he still chose to carry out the plan, which was very unusual. Unfortunately, we still know too little about him.

Bai Shi couldn't help but think of a question, so he asked Messermo:

"What if... I also want to become a god?"

Although the Suns said they could help him become the new Suns, it is still unknown what the situation is.

And through the Gate of God, Bai Shi can fully unleash the power of the laws in the Solar Rune in advance.

As for the impact of this process on becoming a real sun in the future... Bai Shi really can't tell.

If you become a god in the borderland, you can't become the sun? Is the sun such an inconvenient thing?

No matter how you think about it, this is a win-win situation with no harm.

Moreover, unlike gods who need to rely on a king, Bai Shi is the king itself.

If I succeed, I will be a combination of God and King, and my individual strength will definitely be exaggerated.

Messemo looked at Bai Shi with a strange look and said:

“…Give up.”

"Even if it's you, I won't break the seal."

"Besides, don't you want to be the King of Elden?"

After a pause, Messermo continued to ask Bai Shi:

"And according to the ritual, if you want to pass through the 'Gate of God', you need the guidance of the King."

"You want to pass through the 'Gate of God' and become a god. Who can lead you?"

"The king is not just in need of strength."

"Even if he has not become a king, at least... he has to be related to the king in terms of fate."

Bai Shi thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed difficult to find such conditions around him.

He wanted to be both a king and a god, but he couldn't lead himself...

Bai Shi suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with a bold idea.

Yes, why can't you pull yourself forward?

Isn't Ashmi here?

There is no need to worry about his ability, Ashimi will definitely be able to take on the role.

As for the identity of the king...Ashimi, who was born to become the 'King of the Night', should... also be considered, right?

Thinking back to Ashimi's somewhat dazed look, Bai Shi gave up the idea for the time being.
-
After asking everything he wanted to know, Bai Shi was satisfied.

My brother-in-law is worthy of being the top leader of the Shadow Land, he has full intelligence.

Bai Shi knew a lot about both the matters related to the Shadow Land and the situation of the Shadow Tree.

Even the whereabouts of the dead prince's followers who had smuggled in were all known.

While Bai Shi was constantly looking for Messemo to learn about the situation in the Shadow Land, Melina stood aside quietly looking up at the statue of her mother.

In the dark room of Messemo lies what may be the only intact statue of Marika in all of Shadowland.

And unlike other statues, this statue of Malika holds her baby in her arms.

After the conversation between the two ended, Melina looked at Messermo seriously and asked:
"Brother, I want to know our true origins..."

"Although this is unrelated to the mission, perhaps finding one's origin is also the instinct of life."

Looking at Melina, Messermo was silent for a moment.

It was a while before he raised his eyes again and met Melina's gaze.

"Do you really want to know?"

Clearly seeing the determination in Melina's eyes, Messermo raised his head and looked up at the tall statue.

“We are special and unique beings.”

"Because we are the offspring who should not have been born and should not exist in this world."

Although Melina already had some guesses, she couldn't help but be stunned when she actually heard it.

"What the hell does this happen?"

Messermo remained expressionless as he continued to speak:

"We are not born normally. We were created for a mission."

"He is clearly the mother's child, but he has a power that has nothing to do with her."

"One of your eyes is the Night Eye, and I have the snake of evil in my body. This is strange enough."

"Besides that, your body is not the original one, but it is not strange to use it."

"…Just like the original body, right?"

"Have you ever thought about the problem?"

Melina's breathing stagnated, and all the clues were instantly connected, and a name emerged in her mind.

"The Great Rune of the Unborn..."

Messermo nodded slightly.

"The Horned People believe that witches can merge with other lives... This is not without basis."

"Using this feeble quality and the Great Rune of the Unborn, Mother created us from her tears."

“We were born to fulfill our mission.”
