In the instant the girl's true name was revealed, people were momentarily stunned—they saw an astonishing foreign land. The powerful Grand Assassin class and the overflowing magical energy on the battlefield were enough to shake planets and cause continuous calamities to the whole world. Abigail was instantly captivated and saw the world of the past.

Before the mystery was revealed, people's understanding of the past was that even myths were just things made up by humans, but those myths in the Moon World actually existed.

The decline of the divine age led to the modern era, a time of great prosperity in human reason and a civilization where mystery was no longer apparent.

However, myths are created by humans, and this understanding may not be wrong when placed within the context of the fundamental concept of the universe.

The question remains unverified: who is the originator of the other's existence, and who created the other side of the universe?

Following this line of thought, we can see that those famous witch trials in history were not entirely without precedent.

Originally, the girl named Abigail Williams was just a little girl poisoned by ergosterol in history, a victim of the Salem incident, but had nothing to do with Cthulhu.

The so-called "Bubble's Favorite Daughter" and "Outer God's Witch" are purely special creations of this world, unique to the lunar history.

As early as the mid-17th century, people recognized that eating grains containing ergot could cause poisoning because the toxin had a strong effect of constricting arteries, often causing symptoms such as numbness, blindness, paralysis, and convulsions.

As immigrants, the Puritans were already struggling to adapt to their new environment, and being known for their poverty, they didn't have the extra money to eat good food.

Because of long-term consumption of toxic grains, he exhibited abnormal symptoms of demonic possession, and it was even believed that he spread these symptoms to other girls.

This undoubtedly caused great panic among the people at the time.

The locals' rejection of these outsiders—internal panic and external conflicts intensified—created a new chemical reaction.

Within about a year, many villagers were reported.

The result was a tragedy in which 200 people were arrested, 19 of whom were hanged, 2 died in prison, and 1 was tortured to death.

And the name Abigail Williams is the original victim, the source of everything.

Of course—historically, Abigail's image is more like that of an innocent monster.

Because of people's ignorance and folly, they forcibly labeled incomprehensible phenomena with terms like witches, demons, and devils, which was common in the Middle Ages.

As a result, countless innocent women were branded as witches and persecuted.

The evil of this world, Xiao Hei, is a similar example. As an ordinary person, he was killed by Angra Mainyu, the evil side of one of the strongest gods in the Zoroastrian dualism of good and evil.

That's why he was just an ordinary person when he was summoned, and he died quickly in the Third Shinobi World War.

However, in the world of the Moon, you can't treat these historical figures with special backgrounds as ordinary people. Once they become involved with the legends of certain beings, sometimes the fake can become the real.

Just as food poisoning is imagined as a witch, or as a deal made with an evil god, it is also associated with seeing an outer god.

After all, symptoms such as hallucinations, a feeling of low sanity, and body spasms are indeed strangely compatible with the character.

So Abigail Williams, who was summoned at the beginning, was indeed just an ordinary person, but just like the Demon Pillar in Salem Singularity, which used this unique characteristic to almost successfully bring about the arrival of the Outer God.

The current marshal is doing the same thing.

'The Immaculate Witch - Abigail Williams' - an innocent girl who, due to that historical reason, inadvertently gained the possibility of truly connecting with the Outer Gods.

After understanding the child's true nature in an instant.

People were stunned and panicked.

"Wait—Outer Gods?!" The Americans, who still call themselves the beacon of human civilization and consider themselves the undisputed hegemon of the world, were the first to react and panic.

In a world like the Moon, where mystery and mythology abound, no amount of denial or struggle will change anything...

Americans have to admit that their country does not have its own mythological history.

Even tracing back to England, the Arthurian legend, which is now most beloved by the British, is still a myth from a previous dynasty.

And these descendants of the Saxons were precisely the invaders from outside.

If we don't have our own national mythology, then we'll just make one up.

This is easy to understand—after all, if we really look at history from the perspective of a world where humans are the source, then all mythological systems are fabricated, so why can't they be?

Chapter 156 The Counter-Type? Is it the Counter-Type we know? Help!

Before the battle began, we saw that the main character was going to fight, and a Grand Servant who seemed to have a very powerful setting also joined the battle.

The beautiful country, where almost everyone is a Christian: Hehe!

After the war began and they learned the true nature of the invaders (enemies), the real darkness behind them actually came from a fictional myth, a story they were all too familiar with.

American: I'm not laughing anymore...! I've behaved myself, please let me go!

Panic! ——!! What kind of story are you making up? A fictional legend—has it become reality?!

Why did this one have to come true of all things?

The stories were written by American author H.P. Lovecraft and later compiled into a collection by his friend August William Derleth.

The indescribable things he describes in his writing both thrill and captivate the reader with their bizarre and fantastical stories.

If they don't have their own country's native culture and mythological beliefs, then they'll make one up.

Therefore, in later modern civilization, Hollywood, which was once popular all over the world, almost never made mythological movies. Instead, it heavily promoted science fiction films, only making movies about machine crises, alien visitors, and superheroes.

Asking them to film mythological crises is asking too much of them. Without a considerable level of understanding and cultural background, it's difficult to capture the essence of the subject.

Their usual tactic is to dominate the world with fear, and even the myths they create are so distorted and indescribable that they lower people's sanity and are arguably the most hostile myths to human civilization.

If humans living in other mythological worlds are described as living in dire straits, then for humans living in the Kreece universe, it's not just a matter of survival, but a matter of the mind.

The more you understand the truth of the world, the more you feel like you are immersed in an endless deep sea, falling into an abyss from which there is no escape, being overwhelmed by endless despair and fear, until your mind is driven insane.

The process of understanding the truth is the process of becoming mentally ill.

The extent of this mental breakdown can be summed up in a single sentence from the Taoist ghost story next door: "I can't tell, I really can't tell!"

"Heh, are you feeling fear? But—do you truly understand what real fear is?" At this moment, Gilles de Rais—though as a Heroic Spirit he could not see the perspective provided by the Night, could hear the gospel of 'God' just now and see the true nature of Abigail Williams.

He sensed the fear that was beginning to gather and spread throughout the city!

If we're talking about who understands the Kremlin mythology best, there's another country whose people might understand it even better than the native Americans.

Of course, it's the very kingdom beneath the feet of these heroic spirits right now.

Although it is a small place, it is well-known throughout the world for its perversion, twistedness, and darkness.

A country that can put on such an extreme "hellish" opening ceremony at the Olympics has a strong affinity for the crazy mythological system of the Kremlin.

Not to mention that this is a mythological story depicted by writers from their father country.

This deserves our praise and support!

Many fans of Craig Wright novels were now gripped by a great panic. Outer Gods? It wasn't the kind they knew.

Glug... the sound of countless swallows.

Surely not!

How could those fictional myths that only appeared in modern times possibly be true?

Things without history cannot withstand scrutiny.

For the first time, this is the first time that someone so adept at denying history, fabricating false history, and even directing and acting out a story that the entire nation believes in, and that the people of their father country dare not believe, is that the Kremlin myth is real!

This is the only thing I absolutely don't want to be true!

Gilles de Rais was intoxicated by the sudden surge of despair and atmosphere, not caring whether he was being watched or not. Even unaware that the heroic spirits had been fully presented to the world's spiritual realm, he simply indulged in his own reverie, as if conversing with the air: "In fact, in the midst of constant torment, fear is something that cools down very easily, and in the end, all that remains is despair."

"Because, in the midst of constant fear, human emotions gradually die. True terror is not static and unchanging, but dynamic and ever-changing."

The marshal smiled benevolently, then suddenly—his expression turned extremely fanatical. He raised his hands high: "Can you understand that transformation from hope to despair, that moment of terror? Torture them to despair, then give them hope, and when hope reaches its peak, it instantly turns into despair. Indeed—! God! You are a more cruel and ruthless being than I, Gilles de Rais."

"Praise be to your greatness! I felt the fear that filled the city for a moment! Did you see it? That is the true aesthetics of death!"

Giles stared wide-eyed, his eyes having grown back through unorthodox means, and waved his hand excitedly at the human skin book.

That excited emotion was highly infectious!

"First came the terror of witnessing a power capable of destroying the world, then the relief of seeing God's apostle, and finally, the fresh terror and despair that arose from realizing the true nature of that world-destroying power. Ah, although I have resolved to abandon the evil path for Joan of Arc! But—this feeling, no matter how many times I experience it, is still so intoxicating!"

"I, Gilles de Rais, am afraid I will never see such a beautiful moment again. It's such a pity!"

It must be said—what a morbid god! What a sinful god, to understand this way better than him, is truly too—!

These inhumane statements, viewing such things as anti-heroic acts of art, are absurd.

At this very moment, as countless people see Gilles de Rais hiding in the shadows, even though he is unaware that he has been exposed, he is, in his spiritual world, under their watchful eyes, so wildly and recklessly distorting the divine, and also wantonly fooling and mocking the world.

Danger--!

This man is extremely dangerous!!

Just hearing his words makes one feel very uncomfortable.

Although many people have noticed that Gilles' words implied that he would give up the evil path for Joan of Arc.

So you're just giving up on the unorthodox path like this?!

They directly created an Outer God from the fictional mythology, depicted as incredibly terrifying, even adding many patches to the image of the omnipotent God of the Old Testament—who was always ready to destroy humanity and bring terrible divine punishment upon them.

Who the hell is this?!

Immediately, many people couldn't resist going online to check out the real name that was finally revealed.

But after learning about his life story—!

A former comrade of the French Saviour, but a demon who massacred more than 300 children after Joan of Arc's death; the prototype of Bluebeard and the Greenbeard.

He's practically the embodiment of a devil from a fairy tale.

People have no recollection of his former identity as a knight, but his later identity seems to be similar to that of characters in many fairy tales.

Instantly—the faces of countless people turned pale.

Childhood trauma has manifested in reality and been summoned?!

No wonder, no wonder, no wonder—!! It's no wonder that such a madman could summon a deity of the Kelvin type!

Chapter 157 In the universe, humanity's value is meaningless; everyone is malevolent.

"Enjoy this feast of death and decadence, prepared by my own hand! I hope you will be satisfied!" The marshal shouted, then burst into maniacal laughter. To everyone, he didn't seem like a normal person—no, he didn't seem like a normal heroic spirit.

A mental problem—it's already dangerous enough for ordinary people to have mental issues, but for a heroic spirit who has wielded immense power to have mental problems is simply catastrophic for humanity.

"We—will once again raise the banner of salvation!!!" His words were impassioned and stirring! Anyone who didn't know better would think it was a marshal giving a pre-battle speech, even though Giles did indeed serve as a marshal during his lifetime.

People only felt oppressed and broke out in a cold sweat!

You call what you're doing 'saving the world'?!
