Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 182 The Dispute over Succession

"broken!"

The moment Bethel confirmed that the other party had come for "Gensokyo", he reached out and pressed his hand on the space.

Rumble!

The space as far as the eye could see was crumbling, and one terrifying spatial rift after another tore the world apart.

In the next instant, the entire space began to degenerate and be destroyed. The space lost its foundation for existence and collapsed as a whole.

For enemies who covet "Gensokyo," Bethel's first move is an absolute killing blow.

hum!

The illusory image of the Earth Mother Goddess bent down and embraced "Olnia" in her arms; this embrace was the strongest protection.

The terrifying spatial storm swept everything, but the radiant light of life at its center never diminished.

The degradation and destruction of space ultimately failed to destroy the remaining power of the true god.

"Why resist?" The bloodshot in "Olnia's" eyes rose and fell like a tide, as if she could see Bethel on the other side through the door.

"Huh?!" Bethel's spiritual intuition pounded wildly, and he could only follow his instincts, fleeing the space immediately.

At that very moment, a phantom red moon rose from where He had been standing.

The crimson moon hangs high, its blood-red light pouring down, beautiful and sacred.

If Bethel hadn't appeared quickly enough, the moonlight of this red moon would have eventually fallen upon Him.

"You have..." Bethel's figure reappeared, avoiding the space where the illusory red moon was located.

He seemed to have thought of something from the symbolism of that red moon; his pupils suddenly contracted, and his body stiffened slightly.

He had initially guessed that it was some true god who wanted to take action against Gensokyo, but he never expected it to be the power of the one on the moon.

Bethel frequently traveled to the stars throughout the Tertiary and early to middle Quaternary periods, even pioneering safe "routes".

In other words, on the entire planet, apart from His teacher, almost no angel or deity understands the stars or the Outer Gods better than Him.

"I've heard that Gensokyo is a place where any fantasy or wish can come true."

The legend of "Gensokyo" is recorded in the sacred texts of the Fantasy Cult, so it's not difficult to learn about it.

Most people, or even the extraordinary ones, simply see it as a means to attract believers and do not believe in its actual existence.

A place where any fantasy or wish can be fulfilled? This is even more extravagant than the Creator's Kingdom in the Creator's Holy Scriptures!

"I just want a 'child,' and Gensokyo can help me with that."

Olnia lowered her eyelids, her hands stroking her belly, looking forward to her future "child".

"..." Bethel's face stiffened. He sensed an extreme threat from "Olnia", but he could not retreat. Behind him was "Gensokyo"!

Once "Olnia" brings her contamination into the Forsaken Land, "Gensokyo" risks being contaminated.

"I never thought I'd be facing the same enemy as you." A helpless sigh rang out, and the life force aura surrounding "Ornia" instantly diminished by half.

The essence of the Earth Mother Goddess has been stolen.

Amon, dressed in a classic magician's robe and wearing a pointed magic hat, appeared beside Bethel.

He stole a portion of the power that had gathered in this space.

The current Amon truly possesses the abilities of a "blasphemer," capable of stealing the authority of the gods.

Of course, Amon also paid a price in order to steal enough power.

At Amon's feet were several "Time Insects" that had been completely devoured and killed by plants.

Looking through the spatial barrier, "Olnia" seemed to see Amon's true form.

The smile on Amon's lips faded as he recalled some very unpleasant memories.

That was a deep impression left by my travels through the stars during the Tertiary period.

He also looked directly at the moon at that time.

"I'm sorry." Amon took a light breath, adjusted his monocle, and said with a smile, "I am the first in line to inherit Gensokyo, so I cannot give it to you."

Bethel glanced at Amon and decided not to argue.

"Wait a minute!" Olnia suddenly tilted her head, thought for a moment, and her eyes lit up. "Isn't my 'child' the first in line to inherit Gensokyo?"

The goddess's pose is so cute and beautiful that it would make any angel's heart flutter.

But what was even more shocking was the meaning behind His words, which immediately froze Bethel and Amon's faces.

Bethel probably knew what "Olnia" wanted to do, and Amon actually thought about it seriously and felt that what she said made a lot of sense.

Just as Adam inherited the "blasphemous tablet".

The right of offspring to inherit should be above that of apprentices.

But to some extent, the alliance between Bethel and Amon became more stable: neither of them would allow "Olnia" to get close to "Gensokyo" and for that "child" to be born.

"Or perhaps..." Olnia's expression turned cold and indifferent, "You're trying to steal my 'child's' things?"

A phantom crimson moon rose behind "Olnia's" head, and under the blood-red moonlight, her life force surged.

This time, Amon dared not "steal" again, as that would only plunge him deeper into the moon's corruption.

In Bethel's eyes was reflected an illusory, fluttering book—the power He could "recreate."

"Lightning Storm", "Sun", "All-Seeing Eye", "Eternal Slumber"...

All of these abilities come from the divine authority that Truman replicated.

Although Bethel's recorded ability to reproduce the original was not as good as the original, the number of true god-level abilities that He could reproduce was much greater!

As if a true god were enraged, thunder and the sun fell upon "Olnia".

At the same time, Amon also used the various abilities stored in his monocle.

The "corruption" and "shadow" stolen from Sasriel, the "judgment" stolen from Trensost, the "purification" stolen from the ruins of the divine war, and the "purification" from the Creator...

Various forces crashed down, engulfing even the very center of "Olnia".

These are the two Angel Kings from the Gou family.

They are able to exert the power of the true God to some extent.

The corresponding path should be the "Fool" route, where the Angel King pulls out the vessel for divine descent from the mists of history.

The power of a true god is rampaging, but the current state of "Olnia" is extremely strange. With the protection of the Crimson Moon, the life force stained with the blood-red moonlight is also powerful enough.

"Submit to me." "Olnia" haughtily raised her delicate chin and issued the queen's command.

This was the power of the "Goddess of Beauty," amplified by the Crimson Moon and the power of life, directly transmitted to Bethel and Amon's minds.

At that moment, the two angel kings even had the urge to immediately kneel down, prostrate themselves at the feet of the "Goddess of Beauty," and swear allegiance.

With the support of various forces, "Olnia" displayed the true god-level power of the "Goddess of Beauty's" authority.

His "beauty" is his greatest and strongest weapon.
