Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 17 Fallen Mother Goddess
The crimson moonlight engulfed Ah Ha. Wherever it passed, strange fleshy plants sprouted from the soil. They waved their fleshy branches and grew rapidly, eventually developing human faces and limbs. Some stones swelled, and creatures resembling stone men were "born" from within. After their birth, they grew rapidly, their bellies swelling, and more monsters broke through and crawled out.

"Hahaha." The laughter still did not stop. The crimson moonlight boiled in the laughter, and the masks floated in the moonlight like small boats in the water.

Of course, these moonlights have no buoyancy, but this does not prevent Aha from cooperating with the other party to perform an impromptu performance.

The moonlight receded like the ebbing tide, gathering together to form a layered, elegant, and intricate crimson dress. Unfortunately, the figure within the dress wasn't a beauty, but a twisted monster of flesh and blood.

But it cannot be denied that, even in her twisted flesh and blood, she is still very "beautiful." Judging her with human aesthetics is meaningless, for she is the unique red moon, a symbol of life and beauty, and the mother of all spiritual power.

"Beauty" is part of what He symbolizes.

Beyond that, she is also the Fallen Mother Goddess. She is the origin of evil, the indestructible, the mother of filth. Holiness and corruption, beauty and filth—these opposites manifest in her without conflict.

Ahab's laughter gradually faded, slowly turning into sobs. His voice was filled with pity and sorrow: "How pitiful! Such ugly beauty, like a flower carved from a pile of shit. You know, as a devout mourner, I hate to see such things."

His voice became light and cheerful again: "Perhaps you can try to use flowers to pile up the shape of feces, which will suit your aesthetic taste and won't make people feel disgusted.

As he spoke, his appearance changed, his masks gathering together into a heap, imitating the long skirt of the Fallen Mother Goddess. A rubber ball emerged from the top of the "skirt" to serve as a head, and a red-nosed clown mask was placed in front of the ball.

There was a small box on top of the ball. With a click, the box popped open, revealing a gray-brown flower with a gloomy face painted on the pistil.

The flower used its equally gray-brown leaves to pinch the pistil and its nose, and made a face at the Fallen Mother Goddess.

"Hahahahaha."

Vines formed from a hybrid of flesh and plants bound the masks.

"Hey, do you want to play bondage? Honey, you are so rough." Ah Ha pretended to be shy, covering her face with the little flower on her head and twisting around.

The space around Ah Ha seemed to come alive and tightly enveloped Him, like a coffin.

He sank suddenly, and the ground turned into a swamp and swallowed him.

The Fallen Mother Goddess also wanted to swallow the box containing Part IX, but her spiritual madness warned her.

"Don't touch it! Absolutely don't touch it!"

He carefully avoided that part, and eyes grew in other places on the surface of the moon.

The eyeballs within those eyes suddenly swelled, and fleshy tentacles, a hybrid of plant and flesh, pierced through the eyeballs and emerged. Crimson gushed out from within, and the tentacles began to change in appearance, transforming into strange, masked babies.

The babies had wriggling lumps on their bodies, and the blood in the lumps coagulated and transformed into worms, devouring the little Ahas' vitality from within.

The insect broke out of the body and opened its mouthparts to make a series of melodious sounds.

The Fallen Mother Goddess used the moon as her "womb" to split Aha into tens of millions of parts and then give birth to him.

"That's a good idea, but isn't that a strong callus?" A laughing voice rang out from the babies simultaneously. The next moment, the voices took on a sob tone.

"Wow, wow, Aha is not clean anymore. Aha will never get married. Akivali, I have let you down."

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu”

The Fallen Mother ignored the sobbing Aha. With a backhand strike, a blood-red robe descended from the sky, and an indistinct man appeared in the distance. A painful, hoarse roar escaped the man, and as he saw the pages of an illusory book, the scene on the moon rapidly shifted.

The vast ocean, the scorching sun, and the tower full of knowledge.

One by one, the scenes that had been [recorded] were [reproduced] on the surface of the moon.

And above them, above the sun, was a second crimson moon, a reappearing crimson moon.

The sound of running water gurgled, and the crimson moonlight intensified. Under the authority of [Creation], the scene Mr. "Gate" had reappeared in rapidly changing.

Thunder and lightning surged above the sea, gathering into a majestic middle-aged man wearing black armor, standing on the waves, surrounded by storms, with lightning on his back, and holding a trident.

The sun transformed into a handsome, sunny, and energetic man, wearing a pure white robe and with short golden hair. In his hands, he held the Book of Contract and a golden ball shaped like the sun.

The tower transformed into an old man wearing a hood, revealing his mouth, wrinkles, and white beard. He was holding an open book with an eye above it symbolizing omniscience.

Lord of Storms, Eternal Sun, God of Wisdom.

Amidst the painful roars, the Fallen Mother Goddess forced Mr. "Gate" to recreate the scene of "Three Gods Sharing the Ancient Sun God." The projections of the three gods transformed into countless flesh-and-blood monsters that devoured the little Ahas.

As Ahab cried with a smile, the babies all shed tears. The flesh monsters also shed tears after eating the little Ahabs.

The tears that fell to the ground quickly transformed into an orange smiley face. The remaining tears on the face also turned into a mask.

"Hahahahaha."

The masks grinned widely. There were little Ahas that hadn't been eaten yet, masks growing out of the ground, and flesh-and-blood monsters wearing masks.

"Hahahahaha."

The laughter echoed again. This time, it wasn't just Ahab who was laughing. The stones were laughing, the soil was laughing, the flesh, tentacles, and eyes were laughing too.

Mr. Door stopped his screams of pain. The Fallen Mother Goddess couldn't help but laugh, and countless smiling faces appeared on her body.

They were all laughing.

The only pure land is around that box.

The moon was dyed orange and began to wriggle, turning into a smiling face.

Sound cannot be transmitted in a vacuum, but the people on Earth not far away seemed to hear the laughter and their mood also became happy.

The Fallen Mother Goddess began to feel fear, but soon her fear was overwhelmed by joy. However, she knew she had to leave, to leave this place that made her happy.

He felt reluctant to leave, thinking perhaps staying here would be a good ending. He wanted to indulge in this joy, his consciousness gradually sinking, and his face slowly transformed into a mask, a mask of a graceful and elegant woman with a raised mouth.

He suddenly broke away from the joy and tried to leave, but he found that he had been planted in the soil at some point and merged with the entire moon.

In the end, only his face, now a mask, was exposed. But even that mask was sinking slowly into the earth. He reached out to save himself, to crawl around the box. He had found it safe there. But he no longer had any hands. Slowly, he was swallowed up.

The moon began to wriggle again, returning to its original state. Aha broke away from the moon, carrying IX and the unknown ball, and fell towards the earth with a laugh.

Soon after Aha left, the Fallen Mother Goddess opened her eyes again, and countless tiny eyes opened on the surface of the moon. She found that she seemed to have completely merged with the moon.

The moon split open again, but this time there was only one crack. He used the power of creation and reproduction to "give birth" to His spirit again.

According to unofficial historical records, in July 1349, the fallen mother goddess gave birth to a daughter for the joyful star god Aha on the moon.

I am the Rememberer from Liuguang Yuting. Follow me and I will take you to learn more about the universe.

…………

Aha broke away from the moon and fell towards the earth.

But before he could reach Earth, he was stopped by a barrier. He stuck to the barrier and looked down at the Earth below. The side of the Earth facing the moon had been enveloped by darkness.

Aha's gaze pierced through the night and saw the interior of the Earth. He recalled the memories he had received from Serris, which naturally included the Lord of Mysteries.

Well, He suddenly had a good idea.

Aha, who had extraordinary execution ability, did what he thought. He threw his good brother IX away and let him return to nature.

He's such a philanthropist, he could easily become the president of the Wildlife Conservation Association. Has anyone else released a wild Star God? Definitely not.

He then looked at the unknown ball, smeared something on it, and threw it into the barrier. He didn't know what recognition mechanism the barrier had, but it wouldn't let him in, but the ball was fine.

The darkness within the barrier suddenly transformed into a pair of hands, trying to grab the ball. However, the ball suddenly faded, became transparent, and disappeared.

The hand transformed from darkness grabbed nothing, paused for a moment, and then dispersed in front of Aha.

"It's mysterious. I added the mysterious one." One mask made a well-thought-out expression, drawing cheers from the other masks.

That's pretty cool.

　Hey, guess who threw it in, I guess you can't guess it
