Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 172 Fooling Fate

Antigonus's sister is a "Hidden Servant," the only angel outside the Church of the Night who travels through the "Night" pathway.

She is the daughter of the ancient god "Destroyer Wolf," a born mythical being, and is now the faith of the Night Kingdom—the Mother of Heaven.

The Kingdom of Night was established by Him and Antigonus together.

Previously, the northern continent was under the rule of the Solomon Empire, and this small country was not destroyed because it survived thanks to the protection of Antigonus and the Dream.

But now they are facing the Terensust Empire, the state religion of the entire empire, the Church of the Night.

"Sister, I need your help."

Antigonus returned to the Land of Night and met the Mother of the Sky.

This was also part of the ceremony, reinforcing the recognition of Antigonus's identity by fate.

"..." The ethereal figure of the "Mother of Heaven" emerged from the depths of the temple, glanced at "Antigonus," and asked, "Will you accommodate the 'Mask of the Fool'?"

"Yes." Antigonus nodded gently.

"..." The "Mother of Heaven" remained silent for a long time, but eventually agreed after Antigonus insisted.

Afterwards, with the help of the "hidden" power, "Antigonus" began to contain the "Fool's Mask".

Dressed in a black classical gown and shrouded in mist, the "Mother of Heaven" emerged from the mist. With a gentle touch of her finger, "Antigonus" was concealed from the world.

Without sufficient support, Antigonus could only attempt to contain, relying on his own "dream imprint" and his connection with the "fool's mask."

Clearly, this failed.

The Dream Mark failed to play its true role when necessary, fading away like a fake, and the connection between the "Fool's Mask" and "Antigonus" was far from being strong.

"How is this possible?!" Antigonus is about to go out of control.

In that mist-shrouded palace, transparent, twisted worms huddled together, growing wildly, and eerie, slippery tentacles extended from the "Fool's Mask," destroying everything within reach.

The "Mother of Heaven" revoked the "secret," and the worm truly appeared in this world.

At this moment, the fate of Antigonus's uniqueness, destined to fail, becomes history, recorded by destiny.

The "Mother of Heaven" made no move, coldly watching the mass of tentacles. She probably already knew that the younger brother in front of her was an imposter, but out of tacit understanding, she cooperated to a certain extent.

"Release." At that moment, a familiar voice sounded behind Him.

The real Antigonus appeared, and the space that had separated fate manifested here, with the three angel kings standing behind Antigonus.

The real Antigonus removed the "tampering," and Amon gently pinched his monocle; the stolen fate had returned.

When the out-of-control "Antigonus" and the truly intact Antigonus face each other, an irreconcilable conflict arises in their destinies.

The record of fate states that "Antigonus" failed to ascend and went out of control, but the current situation is that Antigonus did not contain uniqueness at all and existed completely.

Fate has played a cruel trick on us.

Antigonus reached out and "altered" the relationship between the "Mask of the Fool" and himself, making it appear that "he had merged with uniqueness."

This directly led to the resurgence of the will of the "Lord of Mysteries" within Him!

hum!

The appearance of some ancient aura caused Adam's three angel kings to change their expressions slightly, and each of them took a different approach.

At the same time, Truman, who had been watching this place, gently opened the Book of Dreams and moved the entire Hornachis Mountains to the Dreamland.

This will prevent the resurrected will of the "Lord of Mysteries" from influencing the "Source Castle" and drawing upon its power.

Putting everything else aside, we absolutely must keep the coffin lid of that dead ghost firmly in place!

Antigonus, who was facing the mysterious will of revival, was well prepared. He used all the "anchors" in the Kingdom of Night and the Solomon Empire to balance the will of revival.

This had some effect, bringing Antigonus back to his senses.

Then, aid from the three archangel kings arrived.

Adam's "comfort" made His spirit more active and powerful, Amon "gifted" the sleep stolen from the deepest darkness, and Bethel directly unleashed a storm of lightning.

Antigonus sought to use the power of "miracles" to suppress the will of the "Lord of Mysteries" through resurrection, fully embracing uniqueness and maintaining self-awareness.

The will of the "Lord of Mysteries" had not even truly awakened yet, but it was already communicating with the "Source Castle," but it was isolated by the Dream Kingdom and could only resist by relying on the power possessed by Antigonus.

But this simplified ceremony went very well. Antigonus's self-awareness was stable, and with the King of Angels assisting him, the awakened will was suppressed too much.

The next moment, a black tide surged from the void, the power of fear and slumber.

"Father God?!" Antigonus and "Mother of the Heavens" exclaimed in disbelief.

The power of fear and sleep comes from the "Mother of Heaven," who arranged this place to resemble the divine kingdom of the "Destroyer of Wolves."

"Fregra..." Truman, who was watching this scene, nodded slightly, not surprised.

This destructive wolf clearly left a contingency plan for resurrection on Antigonus and the "Fool's Mask," but now that the "Lord of Mysteries" has revived, it has directly devoured His arrangements, "fooled" Him, and then used them for its own purposes.

laugh!

A faint figure quietly entered the dreamlike paradise.

"Destroyer Wolf!"

Amanises appeared beside Truman, looking toward Antigonus on the Hornach Mountains.

He is the lord of sleep and silence, and the surge of this power cannot be hidden from Him.

"As expected..." He nodded slightly, already understanding the situation.

"Fregra is no match for the Lord of Mysteries."

However, with Amanisis having almost completely monopolized the "Night" pathway, this was the only option He had.

Now it's been swallowed up by the "Lord of Mysteries," it's truly tragic.

"You can come here," Truman nodded.

"Okay." Amanisis did not refuse, and with Truman's permission, he used the Dreamland to influence the Dream Mark on Antigonus.

laugh!

The power of sleep and fear momentarily froze, then was completely suppressed by the emergence of dreamlike phosphorescence.

At this moment, the attacks of the three angel kings suddenly became more intense!

This time, the immense power fell upon Antigonus. He restrained his physical instincts and did not resist. His body turned to ashes in the lightning.

But in the next instant, the gray mist of history emerged from the place where He died, and Antigonus, who had just contained the uniqueness of the "Fool," was resurrected and returned.

Antigonus wore the "Fool's Mask" that revealed two eyes, his eerie gaze fixed on the angels before him.
