Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 516 Mr. "Door"

After the time of Roselle, Bethel Abraham came to Gensokyo, wanting to break free from its shackles and complete the "Gate" godhood ritual.

But hundreds of years have passed, and Bethel still hasn't been able to take that step.

Now Amon has beaten us to it.

The name "Mr. Door" has a long history, probably dating back to the great war at the end of the Third Age. Bethel, the King of Angels, did not participate in the assassination attempt against the Creator of the Third Age, but instead evacuated the people on the Eastern Continent.

In that day, countless humans were saved by Bertlisso, naturally earning the respect of the entire world. After merging with Uniqueness, he became the strongest below the true god.

There was more than one angel who became a god in the Fourth Age, but the strongest under the true god has always been Mr. "Door".

It is abnormal that such a being has been preparing for a godhood ceremony for hundreds of years without completing it, and was even beaten to it by Amon.

"Actually, in the first ten years after I entered Gensokyo, I was already confident enough to escape Gensokyo using only the power of the 'Gate'," Bethel explained.

Truman nodded slightly. In fact, the second authority of Gensokyo was Bethel. He could mobilize almost all the power of Gensokyo, and he was naturally one of the people who knew Gensokyo best.

In this situation, even Gensokyo couldn't stop Bethel.

"But at that time, I sensed the will of the 'Lord of Mysteries.' If I had taken that step then, there was a high chance that He would have awakened within me."

"Of course, in Gensokyo, I can also use my teacher's power to suppress Him when He hasn't truly awakened." Bethel still held the power of dreams in awe.

"In the end, I didn't choose to force my way into the position. Instead, I sat here for hundreds of years and discovered some of my teacher's secrets." Bethel looked at Truman with his star-like eyes.

"I have never realized the greatness of teachers as much as I do now."

Bethel expressed his respect for his teacher.

"I see..." Truman nodded thoughtfully.

His two students, Bethel and Amon, both liked to stay in Gensokyo. This wasn't because they were indulging in the beauty of Gensokyo, but because they were unconsciously drawing closer to him.

Both Bethel and Amon gained a great deal from this process.

Under the powerful and strict rules, Amon's deception skills have become increasingly sophisticated, and he can manipulate the rules with ease.

Medici, who had not become Sequence Zero, could not even distinguish between Amon's clone and his original self.

But Bethel clearly saw more.

"I saw 'all things,' 'dreams,' 'reality,' and 'cause and effect.'" Bethel lowered his head slightly, feeling ashamed for having peeked into his teacher's most important secret.

"I'm not surprised, after all, it's you." Truman believed in his student's abilities.

"The teacher has completed the rituals of 'All Things' and 'Dreams,' and the rituals of 'Truth' and 'Cause and Effect' only need one last opportunity."

Bethel even saw one of Truman's plans in "Gensokyo".

"Oh no." Truman shook his head, sounding rather disappointed. "You just love to overthink things. I've already arranged everything; do I really need your help?"

"I wouldn't dare say I can help the teacher, but clearing obstacles in their path is simply what a student should do!"

Bethel spoke solemnly; he was still the boy whom Sassril had led to Truman.

"Teachers don't need students' help, but students should also share the burdens of teachers." Bethel initially gave Truman the impression of being stubborn and old-fashioned, and he still is thousands of years later.

"..." Truman shook his head helplessly. "So how are you going to help me?"

"Naturally, it's to help the teacher remove some obstacles related to the rituals!"

"What if you're the one standing in the way?" Truman countered.

"So I am still an angel," Bethel said sincerely; this was His attitude.

"But now, the biggest obstacle is no longer me; I will take over from the teacher and clear away that biggest obstacle!"

Bethel stood up and bowed to Truman.

Then He straightened up, His bright, star-like eyes looking towards the direction of the Northern Continent.

"I am the 'Door'," Bethel Abraham said softly, as starlight gathered before him, gradually forming a gate over five meters tall.

Inside the gate was complete darkness, its destination unknown. But gradually, within that darkness, dazzling, dreamlike phosphorescence shimmered, and countless fairylands flashed by like illusions.

hum!

The entire Gensokyo trembled slightly, as if some being was bypassing its rules to construct a "gate" connecting the divine realm and the land!

"Open the door." Bethel Abraham reached into the space, as if he were turning a doorknob, and gently pushed the door open in front of him!

Boom... This is the first time Gensokyo has experienced this situation since its construction. It is no longer mysterious, no longer complete, and has developed flaws.

"That's amazing," Truman couldn't help but praise.

Hearing Truman's praise, Bethel perked up and stepped through the door.

At this moment, Bethel's body disintegrated, becoming a ball of light formed from glittering starlight. These balls of light were all strange insects with bent bodies.

The next second, these orbs of light began to collapse and stack, seemingly undergoing a qualitative change in their recombination, and dark rifts from the void appeared one after another in the surrounding space.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

In the North Continent, the Ruen, Feneport, and Solomon Empires, in the South Continent, the East and West Byron, and indeed the entire world, everything that could be called a door was opened.

At the same time, things like the Charis Gate of the Church of the Night and the underground warehouse of the Dream Cult, all that could be called "sealed", were shattered.

"Mr. 'Door'..." At this moment, everyone who was qualified to know Mr. "Door" remembered this strongest being under the true god who had been silent for hundreds of years.

In Gensokyo, Bethel Abraham has completely entered the door He constructed, where the forces of two rules and two spaces tear at Him from one another, with His sphere of light as the dividing line.

But it was this contradiction that gave Bethel Abraham an opportunity. The sphere of light that made up His body collapsed instantly, and His body reflected scenes from all over the earth and even the starry sky.

Finally, all the layers of "doors" completely overlap at this moment.

Bethel Abraham took a step forward, completely breaking free from the shackles of Gensokyo.

He turned around, looked at Truman, bowed again, then stood up and vanished.

"Having such a good student is really difficult for me!" Truman sighed slightly.
