Lord of Mysteries: Taiyi

Chapter 166 The Full Moon Was Scared Away

On Black Peak, Kurt studied the connection to the Mother Nest and found that he could neither pull Mr. Door here nor connect with His consciousness.

As for Kurt's previous plan to use the infinitely collapsing pollution to balance the pollution of the Fallen Mother Goddess within the Gate, that plan also failed, as his current unlocked permissions are not enough to do so.

Of course, it seems that the Fallen Mother Goddess is deliberately—divinely—stopping this—it seems that she still needs to increase her strength.

Kurt glanced quietly at the purplish-red and gray mist rising from the dark clouds—these could all be considered pollution, right?—so his source essence could harmonize this pollution.

After that, it's not hard to imagine that it can devour other source matter—this is demonstrated in the "Watchmaker" path, where Sequence 7 can combine the strengths of many schools and replicate them to a certain extent.

There is a crucial missing element: extraordinary traits. Shepherds need to absorb the traits of their flocks to use their limited abilities, but the "Painter" eliminates this necessary prerequisite, relying solely on their extraordinary traits to accomplish tasks that would otherwise be impossible.

This echoes the discovery by Kurt that Infinite Collapse can create almost any kind of rune, and that it can establish connections with pillar-level source matter such as Source Castle and Mother Nest, and even borrow permissions.

This felt like a process of collecting or regaining power—leading Kurt to the conclusion that the "Watchmaker" or "Storyteller" pathway should be interchangeable with any pathway in higher sequences, and even lower sequences were not impossible.

Of course, this couldn't be verified—Kut sighed, and he had no intention of changing course. He glanced one last time at the shackles on his hands, closed his eyes, leaned back, and directly left Black Peak: returning to the room where he had been cut up.

Once the room was unsealed, Kurt saw two girls huddled by the window, staring blankly at the sky.

Kurt looked out in confusion—the full moon had disappeared, along with Mr. Door, who hadn't even had a chance to speak to him.

"Could this be something you did, Kurt?" Fors stammered, looking at the now-calm spirit. "I've never seen a full moon disappear on its own before."

"Me too," Hugh replied, somewhat dazed.

"It was me who did it—" Kurt looked at the sky with a headache. "Would Mother Goddess still dare to let Mr. Door contact me after this?"

"I only stopped trying when I felt the babbling stop," Kurt said, walking to the window and staring out with a puzzled look. "This is quite rare, isn't it? Maybe the Goddess of the Night is in a good mood today."

It seems he has offended the Fallen Mother Goddess. Kurt suddenly realized this—no wonder Lilith didn't stop him. The Fallen Mother Goddess might hold a grudge against him, and then when the end of the world comes, he will become the opposite of the Fallen Mother Goddess.

"I've chosen you to elbow the Fallen Mother Goddess!" Kurt seemed to hear these words. Of course, the truth was probably not that superficial, since he had always firmly stood on Earth's side.

There was absolutely no need for this whole thing. Lilith was probably guiding me to discover the uniqueness of my own essence, which is why she allowed me to do this.

This was a reckless act.

He definitely knows something, but why doesn't He just tell me? — This is the question that's troubling Kurt the most right now.

Fors suppressed his somewhat excited emotions, unconsciously took out a cigarette, and said hopefully, "I hope there will never be a full moon again, never be any more full moon babbling."

That would mean you'd miss the chance to join the Tarot Club—and it would be much harder to get the Angels. Kurt couldn't help but worry that if Mr. Door stopped asking for help after this, Fors would really have a hard time joining the Tarot Club.

This would cause the Tarot Club to lose Abraham as an important channel.

However, whether it was last time or this time, I have not had any effective communication with Mr. Door. This time, the Fallen Mother Goddess was probably simply "frightened" by my Source Essence. She had no idea why I wanted to save Mr. Door.

Never mind, at worst, He can just "invite" Fors to join the group later. He has many less-than-fair ways to get Fors to "voluntarily" recite the Fool's name.

Meanwhile, Fors, who was not far away and had picked up his pen again, was unaware of Kurt's current thoughts and was planning to continue creating their first tabletop RPG module with Hugh.

Kurt then put away the now-calm Master Key and set up a ritual to summon the messenger, waking the sleepy Thorin once again.

She was still wearing that somewhat ill-fitting, ornate silk robe. After looking at her for a while, Kurt felt that it was related to some kind of religion, because Melanie had explained this to him.

Melanie herself is a vampire who loves history, and she says she once spent five years collecting religious beliefs and symbols from around the world.

Kurt roughly recorded them all. Of course, he had never seen the pattern on Sorin's robe before, but there are always some similarities between religious beliefs.

Therefore, Kurt deduced that Sorin was likely performing some kind of ritual before she became a spirit.

After Kurt handed the painting box and master key to Sorin, he also gave her a Rune gold coin. Sorin used her magic to store the items in her mysterious space. Then, looking at Kurt's gold coin, she gently shook her head and said, "It's already the second day. This is the first time today—"

Kurt smiled and didn't press the issue, thinking that she was still a person of principle.

"Soline, have you thought about anything these past few days, like anything related to that bat?"

"It was pitch black, and it was a very bad memory." Sorin stopped her journey back to the spirit world when Kurt spoke to her. She looked around, saw Fors and Hugh, and continued, "I also remember some figures that disgusted and frightened me. That's all. I tried to recall what happened before, but it felt like some force was stopping me."

Kurt didn't shy away from Fors and Hugh, because they couldn't understand Old Forsak at all.

In fact, neither Fors nor Hugh received a systematic and extraordinary education, and Hazel is probably more professional than them now.

Of course, compared to ordinary wild extraordinary individuals, their knowledge of the three laws of impersonation and extraordinary characteristics alone is already a game-changer, and this knowledge was only taught to them sporadically by Kurt.

"Is there a force stopping you? Do you remember what sequence you were in your previous life, or how you can become stronger?"

Sorin shook her head again, a hint of confusion in her starry eyes, and said, "My only remaining memory is the language of my homeland, but the sequences and divine paths you speak of, when combined in this language, have a completely different meaning."
