Mystery: Survival from the Secret Doll

Chapter 394, Possibilities 393

The astral plane, with its burst of dim yellow light, quickly retreated back into the divine realm belonging to Badhael. The power that caused the abnormal sky over the northern and southern continents disappeared. Some people noticed something, while others remained oblivious.

Astronomers quickly offered their 'professional' opinions, considering it merely a rare astronomical phenomenon.

Members of various churches and secret organizations have more or less noticed the anomaly, but the astral plane is so far away, and the realm of the high gods is not something that ordinary people can easily touch.

The royal families of the Fusak Empire reached a consensus and tacitly concealed the series of problems that had occurred within the Church of the God of War.

The high-ranking members of the Church of the God of War, the bishops loyal to Badhall, all who discovered the anomaly wore black silk hats and had their souls twisted into the likeness of Nicholas, tacitly concealing the fact that their god had become a puppet.

The next step is to retrieve the sealed artifacts and notify Miskatonic to quietly take over the Church of War and open a branch here.

In this way, Miskatonic's influence will be present in all the countries of the Northern Continent, which will make it much easier for the investigators to go out.

Within Badhall's divine realm, a lady dressed in a classic black gown emerged from the portal, bringing silence and tranquility. Night-blooming jasmine and deep-sleeping flowers grew and spread across the twilight sea. Badhall's enormous body began to shrink, and the mystical deity stood blankly beside Tang, showing no emotion or thought whatsoever towards the goddess of night who had entered her divine realm.

The Goddess of Night looked at her old acquaintance, her voice carrying the same power of peace and tranquility, and said to Tang:
“Larion bears the spiritual imprint of Badheir. What do you plan to do about it?”

"Just ignore it."

Tang shrugged. "In the end, it's just a struggle between sequence pathways. In order to create the Eternal Darkness, Badheel's sacrifice was an inevitable result. Although, according to the saying in my hometown, if you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze... But it's not a big deal to let this resurrection backup plan go."

We can control him and keep him as a puppet, then selectively revive Bardhill at the appropriate time and place. Larion is just a small fry, there's no need to take him so seriously.

After all, without the support of uniqueness and the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 1, Badhere's revival wouldn't cause much of a stir.

The Goddess of Night nodded, then looked at Badheer.

"I need some time to first accommodate part of the authority of the River of Eternal Darkness, and then to accommodate the uniqueness and extraordinary characteristics of the Death Path and the Warrior Path."

This is a relatively conservative process of becoming the Old Day, which can avoid the revival of the original Creator's spiritual imprint to the greatest extent possible, helping Him to retain more of His own humanity and become the Old Day.

However, this is a long process.

If the extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness of Death and War had not been recovered in advance, the Goddess of Night would have had to take risks to quickly become the Eternal Darkness.

Tang nodded noncommittally.

"Okay, let's proceed according to plan."

"But there's something I'm curious about."

"What?" The Goddess of the Night looked at Tang.

Tang said thoughtfully, "Since the primordial God did something to the second path of calamity, could He also do something to the third path of eternity... Although, if He did that, the most likely outcome would be that He Himself would become the starting point for the entire world to return to its origin, and then split apart once again..."

He paused for a moment when he said this, and then continued:

"But it is indeed possible."

The Goddess of Night remained silent for a long while before speaking, "I cannot guarantee whether the Primordial God did something similar, after all, His existence is at a level we cannot reach for the time being." No one can guarantee how many backup plans these pillars have. Tang is not an extraordinary being of the Eternal Three Paths. If he were, he might be able to suppress God's resurgence by relying on his special characteristics, but right now, the position of Lord of Mysteries is more important, and the matter of God can only be postponed.

Well, he regrets that he's not an octopus, so he can't draw the Celestial Venerable and then the God.

Tang nodded, then reached out and reached into Badhall.

After two times, a special characteristic corresponding to the Warrior's Path Sequence 1, Hand of the Gods, fell into Badheir's hands.

Tang once again bestowed upon his new puppet the extraordinary power of "Observer," allowing it to revert to a state where it fully possessed three Sequence 1 potions through self-observation.

After entrusting the extraordinary properties to the goddess, he looked down at the twilight sea beneath his feet.

A dark blue portal opened from beneath their feet, connecting to the underworld deep within the spirit realm. An egg rolled out from the depths of the underworld.

The bird egg sank to the bottom of the sea as soon as it touched the Dusk Sea, merging with the phantom of the underground giant's palace.

Something was struggling inside, but with a snap of fingers, the egg fell silent again.

"The Fallen Mother Goddess desires to control the power of the cycle of death and rebirth, so let's leave this thing here for now. It just so happens that Olmir and Greta are old acquaintances."

In the underworld lies Greta's corpse and a bird egg whose purpose is unknown. Neither of them are easy to deal with. Sinking them both into the River of Eternal Darkness seems wasteful; they're useless to eat, yet a pity to throw away...

"Hmm, let me think, maybe I should stuff something into this thing and send it to Mother Goddess sometime."

When the Mother Goddess excitedly cracked open the bird's egg to prepare for dinner, she discovered that the contents inside had long since rotted and gone bad. That would be quite interesting.

The Goddess of the Night looked at Tang in deep thought and silently turned her head away.

"Beyond the Astral Plane, those Great Old Ones do not want the Lord of Mysteries to be born."

"Tang, you need to speed things up."

"Ok, I know."

The dark blue portal opened once more, and Tang withdrew from the God of War's kingdom, returning to the dark heavens of the Goddess of Night.

In a tranquil garden deep within the Dark Heaven, he reached out and pulled out a historical image belonging to the Goddess of Night from the mists of history. He then transformed it into his own puppet, fitted it with a pre-copied 'Bionic Puppet' module, and, in place of the Goddess of Night, responded to her name and bestowed a divine decree upon the Church of Night.

The Goddess of the Night will need to focus on embracing uniqueness, extraordinary characteristics, and source essence for the foreseeable future, and will not have much energy to devote to these matters.

But it doesn't matter. True gods generally can't defeat him, and outer gods basically can't get in either. As long as he plays it safe, he can keep up this goddess costume until the finale without any problems.

"With that, the conditions for Eternal Darkness are almost met. Next up is the five paths of omniscience and omnipotence..."

Biting his quill, Tang glanced at the dark sky of the Heavenly Kingdom.

Adorned with the darkness and sparkling with stars, it is a scene that cannot be described in words.

"I just don't know what will be left in the end..."
