Mystery: Survival from the Secret Doll

Chapter 323, Section 322: The Great Old Ones

The primordial witch, who had just realized the problem and been pulled into an unfamiliar area, instinctively tried to leave through the mirror.

But there are no mirrors here, nor any objects capable of forming images.

This is a world of light, composed of countless fragments, flowing endlessly.

In this place, He could not perceive all the mirrors, and even His mystical connection with the greatest horror in the special mirror world became intermittent.

"Are you isolated...?"

Those who attacked them were not only high-ranking figures from the Diviner path, but also high-ranking figures from the Gate path.
"No, Bethel can't do that."

As one of the behind-the-scenes controllers of the Tudor Dynasty, the Primordial Witch Qike's eyes flickered slightly, and a somewhat aged figure seemed to be reflected in her watery eyes.

That was the head of the Abraham family, the first noble family during the Tudor dynasty, a man even the angel kings would respectfully address as "Mr. Door".

Even though Bethel is the angel king closest to the "gate," his ability to create special spaces still cannot prevent the connection between the primordial witch and that thing deep within the special mirror world.

After all, that's...

All around them were bizarre and fantastical scenes, with various strange fragments flashing past the Primal Witch and Salinger in the form of flashbacks. One after another, segment after segment, they flowed rapidly from in front of them to behind them, like an unstoppable river rushing towards its destination.

Besides, the surroundings were completely silent, so quiet it was almost unnatural.

A very strange place.

The Primordial Witch assessed her own condition. During the battle just now, the mark belonging to the Primordial God within her body had begun to show signs of revival.

Having to restrain the one deep within the mirror world, confront the original God, and stabilize herself at the same time, is a fatal weakness for the primordial witch who doesn't have many followers.

In all Sequence 0s, apart from the seven great gods and the Hades Emperor Salinger who possesses the Byron Empire, whether it is the Primordial Witch, the True Creator, or the less prominent Dark Side of the Universe, even if they want to stabilize themselves, it is difficult to quickly achieve a balance with the original Creator and the spiritual imprint left in the extraordinary characteristics without an anchor point.

The lack of anchors is their weakness, and Hades Salinger, because of his two paths—the Grim Reaper and the Red Priest—even with enough anchors, has fallen into a state of semi-madness.

We must leave here as soon as possible.

Compared to Salinger, Chick, who was more "rational," thought so.

But soon, His gaze froze.

Among the images flashing by all around him, he saw a familiar person.

That is……

Himself?
Young, or male-looking, Himself?

The expression of the Primordial Witch Chik became dazed. She hadn't remembered her former self for a long time, but suddenly her appearance appeared before her, which made her feel dizzy, which she shouldn't have felt.

This scene flashed by in an instant, quickly disappearing with the relentless flow of time. But as the Primordial Witch gazed upon the bizarre and ever-flickering images and fragments around her, she saw many, many things…

As a child, the self who first encountered potions, the self who had just killed someone, the self who became a witch, the self who slept with a man...

The screen flickered and rapidly reversed, but as a witch, a witch at the pinnacle of the sequence, Chick's eyesight easily kept up with the reversing images.

Most of these images are blurry, glossed over, but there are many images that He once cherished, that have been forgotten, and many things that should only He and Thudor have known...

Chick's expression grew increasingly blank, followed by a surge of rage and madness that seemed to want to destroy everything.

"How dare you—! How dare you—!"

Each strand of hair stood on end, and at the end of each long strand was a pair of eyes that suddenly opened.

He saw several more images, but these images were affected by unknown factors, becoming even more blurry and unclear.

But He knew that those images contained Aristotle, and their greatest secret.

Kill them, kill them all! Hahaha, let the whole world be destroyed together! This world was meant to be destroyed anyway!
The primordial witch, under the influence of "destiny" and the spiritual will of the primordial God's resurrection, had the strings in her mind snap.

He's starting to go mad.

-

In the center of Euclidean space, Tang, as if performing magic, flipped his palm and two Tarot-sized cards appeared in his hand.

The first card depicts a man in a dark black robe with a crazed expression, surrounded by a vast, seemingly endless army of the undead.

"Emperor of the Underworld, Salinger."

Tang moved his fingers slightly, separating the two stuck cards to reveal the card behind them.

It was a captivating smile, exuding feminine charm even through the playing cards, with each strand of her hair distinct and her azure eyes like the purest gems in the world—the primordial witch.

"The Primordial Witch, Chick."

Character Card: Hades Salinger (the Mad God, the embodiment of death and war), already included in the character list.

Character Card: Primal Witch Chik (Source of Calamity, Cataclysmic Disaster, Chaos Witch), already included in the character list.

Tang paused when he heard the system notification.

Just now, it felt as if the gears of fate were turning, and the system that had been beeping to its host without going through the cyber brain was now completely bewildered.

The system's cyber voice, which had been asking "Where did this weird thing come from?" suddenly rose a notch, causing Tang to subconsciously rub his ears.

"Ahhh, host, there's a ghost! What is this thing?! Has the main system been infected with a virus?"

"It's nothing, it's probably a change brought about by the 'Supreme One'."

Tang suppressed the urge to mute the electronic treble of his own system and looked toward where Salinger and Chik were.

After thoroughly checking itself inside and out and finding nothing unusual, the system finally realized what they were doing.

'Host, aren't you going to kill them?' The system was a little puzzled that its host had said to attack the "main force" but hadn't made any moves yet.

Host, you've already gone all out, what are you standing there for? Go up there and kill Him!
Tang: "..." Why does he feel that his system is getting more and more irritable?

Knowledge Wilderness, aren't you really going to take it under control? What kind of mess have you become?
Let me borrow a line from what the Primordial Witch said not long ago.

Why does it have to be all about fighting and killing?

"Chief, what is our purpose?"

The system, using its cybernetic brain, considered for a moment: 'Kill the Underworld Emperor, dig up the grave, and reclaim the uniqueness.'

'And then there's the issue of the Primordial Witch and the Mirror World… Hmm, this system remembers all of that.' Tang's lips twitched. So you know all that? Then why do I have to be the one to fight those two?

And what's this about killing the Underworld Emperor? And what's this about digging up graves...?

"Wait, Tongzi, you haven't been reading some random novel again, have you?"

System: 'Oh, well…'

The system fell silent, leaving Tang speechless.

He looked once more at the dazzling crystals in the Euclidean space he was manipulating, and at Salinger and Chik, who were locked up, and his expression became serious.

If this battle really breaks out, it will be a very difficult one.

Neither the Primal Witch nor the Hades is easy to deal with. Even if he is now equivalent to Sequence 0, and with the assistance of Nikolai and "The Hermit", he cannot defeat the opponent in just a few minutes when facing Salinger and Chik at the same time.

However, he wasn't there to risk his life, so there was no need for him to actually do anything to these two.

It's not impossible to fight them head-on. Although an instant kill isn't possible, Tang believes it's achievable to wear them down by relying on the Mysterious Servant's cunning and the Observer's endurance, combined with historical pore images, without external interference.

but……

"The capacity is already two-thirds full, so we won't have much time to waste here with Salinger and Chik."

Tang estimated the capacity between Euclidean space and the tributary of the River of Eternal Darkness, and instructed the system to set a countdown for him as a reminder.

Next, Tang looked at the "hermit" to the side.

The Hermit understood, and his body, constructed from knowledge, transformed into a frenzied torrent, carrying the system, and once again surged toward Salinger and Chik.

Nikolai was already close to Salinger and Chik, figuring out how to make his move.

"Although I am in charge of the attack, it is best not to take action personally unless absolutely necessary."

Remotely manipulating Euclidean space, using the characteristics of the divine realm to suppress Salinger and Chick, then with the assistance of "The Hermit" and Nicholas, one using mad knowledge to make their state even closer to that of puppets manipulated by fate, and the other wanting to steal something from Chick.

It's best to be cautious. Even if Chick, that crazy woman, is suppressed by Euclid's space, she might still do something strange and dangerous.

Tang watched as the "Hermit" and Nikolai approached Salinger and Chick, beginning to use the authority of the Supreme Being to do their own thing.

The Supreme Being's core authority lies in two points: observation and intervention.

For the supreme being, the ability to observe allows for intervention, and the ability to intervene naturally allows for manipulation.

Knowing the future, influencing the past, existing in the present—before the Supreme Being, there is no "god" or man who can keep secrets.

While the impossibility of such a secret is only relative, it is enough to demonstrate the stark difference between the Supreme Being and the audience in the realm of observation.

The latter is through the ocean of the collective unconscious, while the former is through one's own authority and eyes.

"And what makes the 'Supreme One' different from other pathways, other Sequence 0s, and even all the gods and great beings of this world is..."

After personally experiencing the state of the Supreme Being, Sequence 0, Tang once again truly felt that he was not a person of this world.

"The destructive catastrophe, the root of all evil... or more precisely, the symbol of the fourth pillar that signifies the end of the universe, is ineffective against me."

The true "outsiders" are not affected by this conceptual symbolism. Even if the universe restarts, the original creator takes back all authority, is resurrected, and then falls apart due to its own contradictions, the supreme being, or Tang, as a time traveler, will not be destroyed in this process.

He did not originate from the original creator; birth and destruction were merely things mentioned briefly in the book.

"The way to be compatible with, adjacent to, or to be able to subjugate, annex, and replenish oneself from the 'Supreme One' is through Sequence 0, the Eternal One, the Dancer's Path, and the Ring of Fate from the past."

"Sequence 0, the eyes of the mortal world, the painter's path, formerly a high-ranking observer."

"Above the sequence, after acquiring the extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness of a Sequence 1 from the three pathways of the Supreme Being, the Eternal Being, and the Eye of the Mortal World, one can occupy the old position of the High Dimensional Overlord pathway and become a new High Dimensional Overlord..."

Because as a "time traveler," he is more in line with the authority and status of a higher-dimensional observer.

Why do those who look down from higher dimensions go mad? The old gods will become the most nutritious nourishment to feed the new gods on the day they are born.

"However, this is one aspect. With the 'Supreme One' compatible with both the High Dimensional Overlooker and the Ring of Destiny, as long as I become the Supreme One, find the High Dimensional Overlooker and the Ring of Destiny, and devour them, then I will be the new High Dimensional Overlooker and the Ring of Destiny."

"Besides that, the three paths to ascension from the past, because they incorporate the essence of transmigrators, pierce through the past, present, and future, occupying the position of looking down from higher dimensions. The sequence above the fusion of these three paths is called..."

"The upper storyteller."

Omniscient and omnipotent, capable of distorting matter and altering logic...

The vertices above the sequence.

This is also one of the reasons why Tang is determined to support the mysterious master.

Becoming the Lord of Mysteries means you can no longer accommodate those who look down from higher dimensions and the Ring of Destiny, thus becoming part of this "Old Days".

And within the core authority of the "upper-level narrators" lies something Tang intends to use...

"found it."

Tang paused for a moment, then tilted his head, his gaze falling on a fleeting glimpse of something beside Chick.

In that blurry, unresponsive television screen, Tang saw a pair of eyes.

A pair of iron-black eyes, extremely similar to the eyes of the Underworld Emperor Salinger.

Those eyes revealed an extreme madness.

Those were the eyes of the Blood Emperor, Arista Tudor.

Because of the status of the Primal Witch and Arista Tudor, and because of the great trouble they created, this fragment, symbolizing the core secret of the Primal Witch, is blurred under the manipulation of the Supreme Being, making it difficult to understand what is hidden within it.

The Primordial Witch realized something, and her hair suddenly flew towards the surrounding images, causing Euclidean space to tremble.

The symbol of "destruction" has arrived.

Salinger's expression and face were constantly transforming into the likeness of Arista Tudor.

The deity's hair was gradually turning blood red.

The Red Priestess overpowered Death, and under the influence of the Euclidean space and the "Hermit," she displayed an even stronger resemblance to the Blood Emperor.
