Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 468 Witch

Klein truly set foot on this land abandoned by the gods.

In that instant, some kind of danger lurked in the darkness and clung to him.

"Light!" Klein raised the "Cross of No Darkness" in his hand, and a dazzling light rose from the cross, dispelling all the monsters in the darkness.

"The authority of the night, the power of corruption..." Klein sensed, then looked in a certain direction.

There is a dreamlike divine kingdom that has a fatal attraction for him—"Gensokyo".

Klein remained silent for a while, suppressing his urge to teleport directly there. He found the right direction, held up the "Cross of No Darkness," and made a pilgrimage towards "Gensokyo" step by step.

This is a ritual, and a ritual for ascending to angelhood; it is extremely important and must be done to the best of one's ability.

Along the way, Klein even dispersed all historical projections, and apart from ensuring his own safety, he no longer used any other extraordinary abilities, relying solely on his spiritual perception to approach "Gensokyo".

……

Southern Continent, headquarters of the Witch Cult.

This is one of the most dangerous places in the world, located in a border city between East and West Bayron, a region completely ruled by the Witch Cult.

Because of the infighting between East and West Bayron, and because of their self-proclaimed belief in dreams, the Witch Cult actually developed and openly preached in the cracks between East and West Bayron.

Because of the "Primal Witch," no church dared to wage war against the Witch Cult.

"...The primordial witch, the embodiment of calamity..."

At this very moment, in the headquarters church of the Witch Cult, all the middle and high-ranking members of the Witch Cult gathered to hold the most solemn ceremony since the Fifth Age.

"Please summon the witch, Chic!"

In this era, apart from the "Primal Witch," there is only one witch who can be called "Chik."

The crowd kneeling on the ground parted like a tide, and Triss Chick stood outside the crowd, coldly watching everything unfold before her.

At this moment, Triss was pure and dignified, untouched by any dust, her appearance bright and radiant, her skin shimmering with a glow, exuding a charm that would make even a witch feel ashamed of herself.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment; even the higher-ups of the demigods dared not look up, but simply waited quietly.

"It's time." An angel from a witch's cult walked over carrying an exquisite tray with a black and red heart on it. The heart seemed to still be beating and was pumping out wisps of faint black mist.

Within this black fog, meteorites fall from the sky, the earth shakes, and the sky collapses and the earth cracks—that is the true "end of the world."

Triss stared at the enormous, eerie yet sacred statue of the "Primordial Witch" at the very center of the church, without making any move.

Just then, the sapphire ring on its hand seemed to sense something, gradually emitting a faint glow, as if it had come to life.

Triss Chick snapped out of her daze and gradually walked toward the statue of the "Primal Witch".

The statue of the "Primordial Witch" seemed to come alive, its stone-carved hair transforming into venomous snakes, and its blood-red eyes opening to look at Triss.

A sense of dread permeated the entire church; it was a grayish-white curse that caused everything that came into contact with it to begin to petrify and die.

This is the gaze of the "Primordial Witch"!

At the same moment, the black and red heart on the tray beat even more powerfully, gradually suppressing all other sounds.

Triss's face flushed slightly, her eyes glistening with moisture, making her even more alluring.

But in reality, this heart was responding to her heartbeat, and the rhythm gradually became more synchronized.

Under the witness of the "Primordial Witch," the black and red heart gradually rose and floated toward Triss's chest.

Triss's sapphire ring suddenly shone, and the blue light melted the black and red heart, eventually turning it into a black and red liquid that gradually seeped into Triss's chest.

It was at this moment that the "Primal Witch" shifted her gaze, and the terrifying aura gradually faded away.

"It's a success..." The witch angel's eyes were somewhat dazed; her more than a thousand years of planning had finally come to its final step.

He looked at Triss, his gaze gradually changing to one of reverence. He bowed his head in respect, "Welcome, Primordial One!"

"Welcome to the Primordial Beginning!"

Various clear, seductive, and fanatical voices rang out from the headquarters of the Witch Cult.

"You have reached the final step. You only need to walk the original path once more to become the only god since the Fifth Age who can walk on the earth."

The witch angel respectfully reported the final arrangements. She took out a black iron badge engraved with banners. In her hand, the badge gradually transformed into a vortex of intersecting blood red and darkness, pointing towards a misty area.

"By passing through this door, you will reach the original starting point, where you will obtain true, primordial power."

In the end, even the angel knelt down, awaiting Triss's decision.

Triss Chick had always appeared calm and indifferent, and she showed no resistance even when the dark red liquid merged into her body.

But now, her eyes flickered for a moment, and she asked softly, "The original starting point?"

"Yes! That is the land abandoned by the gods, and also the place where the primordial chaos awoke."

"Okay." Triss Chick nodded silently and walked toward the strange vortex. Just as she got close, a banner-like phantom flashed across her forehead.

……

Klein walked in the darkness, not knowing how long he had walked, but as soon as he took a step toward that "Gensokyo", he was able to sense a kind of dreamlike phosphorescence resonating within his mind and body.

His condition unconsciously improved, and after a long journey, he finally saw the legendary "Gensokyo".

"This..." Klein's mouth gaped slightly. He had seen the sacred grandeur of the Giants' Court and the silent awe of the Serenity Temple, but the "Gensokyo" before him still gave him the feeling that such a place could not possibly exist.

Countless rays of light extended from the void, intertwining in mid-air like a rainbow, but infinitely more magnificent than a rainbow. It resembled the dreamlike sanctuary that Klein had seen in the illusionary realm, but was even more sacred and sublime.

If the fantasy world represents everyone's perception of beauty, then this "Gensokyo" is "Supreme Fantasy's" understanding and interpretation of beauty.

"So that's how it is..." At this moment, Klein suddenly sensed the changes in his body.

All the dreamlike phosphorescence seemed to boil, connecting with the "Gensokyo" before him, and a more sacred aura began to emerge from him.
