Mystery: The Undead Don't Die from Linking the Fire

"What exactly is that?"

Audrey couldn't help but murmur to herself. Although she had become a demigod, there were still too many things in this world that she couldn't understand.

All she knew was that the Fussac Empire had launched a surprise attack on Backlund and declared war on the Kingdom of Rune.

With the help of an unknown angel, the airship forces of the Fussac Empire abandoned their bombing missions and turned away from Backlund.

Up to this point, everything that had happened was still within Audrey's comprehension.

But what happened next was completely beyond her imagination—the sudden appearance of an orange-red sunset at noon meant that the God of War worshipped by the Fusak Empire had personally taken action. Although it was unknown whether His action was to deal with the angel who had lured away the airship force, the fact that a god had personally intervened was enough to shock those who knew some of the inside story.

The blood moon that suddenly appeared in the sky was equally astonishing.

Although people are already used to blood moons, since they see them almost every night, this is the first time they have ever seen a blood moon during the day—even for those demigods who have lived for hundreds of years, this is absolutely the only time in their lives that they have ever seen a blood moon during the day!

The appearance of the blue moon that followed completely shattered people's understanding of the world. The spectacular sight of two moons shining simultaneously would likely be unbelievable even to angels!

At least in existing historical documents, there has never been a record of anything like this!

"No, perhaps there is."

Audrey suddenly remembered the history of the vampires that Mr. Moon had told at the Tarot Club—in the Second Age, there was a scene of two moons shining together, but that time was very different from this time.

The previous "double moons" were both red, but this time they are red and blue, two completely different colors.

What does this mean? Or rather, what does it represent?

Since twilight is the embodiment of the power of the god of war, are the two full moons also the embodiment of the power of some god?

The problem is that, apart from the goddess of night whose name contains "Crimson Lord," there shouldn't be any similar descriptions among the other righteous gods. Could it really be the "Primordial Moon"? But even if one moon is a manifestation of the Primordial Moon's authority, what about the other blue moon?

Audrey was filled with confusion and fear; she felt lost about the current situation and terrified of the unknown.

Because she had a premonition that the two full moons in the sky might bring unimaginable disasters to the world!

If that's really the case, will other gods step in to save the world?

Audrey suddenly felt everything go black—it really went black.

An endless, profound darkness descended silently, obscuring the sky and plunging the entire world into a lightless night. Neither the sun, nor the twilight, nor even the two full moons high in the sky, were visible under the cover of darkness.

"She's a goddess!"

Audrey felt a surge of joy; the darkness was the manifestation of the goddess's authority.

Even though she already knew the secret of Sequence 0, her attitude towards the gods remained respectful, and her faith in the goddess never changed.

But along with the surprise, Audrey was overwhelmed with fear—the goddess's intervention dispelled her unease, but didn't it also confirm her suspicions?! Those two full moons truly possessed the power to destroy the world!

Miss Fors was once tormented by the Red Moon. Every full moon and blood moon was cursed, a curse originating from the bloodline of the Abraham family, which forced them to struggle for survival in boundless pain.

If one cannot withstand the pressure, they will lose control and turn into a monster.

So, will those two full moons cause similar consequences?

If the goddess did not intervene, does it mean that everyone who looks directly at the two full moons will suffer the same curse, and everyone will be transformed into monsters?

Audrey's face paled slightly, frightened by her own guess.

If circumstances allowed, she really wanted to ask one question—

What's wrong with this world?

Just as Audrey had this thought, the world before her eyes changed once again—

In the deep darkness, sparse lights soon appeared in various parts of Backlund.

But these lights were not bright enough; they were like fireflies in the night, emitting a faint glow, completely unable to illuminate the entire city.

But above the night-shrouded sky, the brilliant Milky Way blooms like a budding flower, adding a touch of purple to the deep darkness—a magnificent Milky Way that stretches across the sky and spans the Milky Way.

Like a rift spanning the universe, the Milky Way is both dazzling and beautiful, yet terrifying.

When people's eyes fall upon the dazzling Milky Way, boundless fear begins to fester within them.

It's as if a deep abyss is hidden in the magnificent Milky Way, enough to evoke the deepest fears in people's hearts.

Even Audrey, who had become a demigod through the "spectator" pathway, still couldn't suppress the fear growing within her. Even though she was a "psychologist," the fear made her forget how to use her extraordinary abilities and forget how to dispel this fear.

When she finally overcame her fear and looked at her family and servants, they were in even worse condition than she was.

Fortunately, at that moment, a sacred and ethereal voice rang in their ears:

Cross your hands.

"Place it on your chest,"

"Make that silent prayer,

"And shout from your heart:"

"The only true refuge is peace!"

Audrey lowered her head, closed her eyes, raised her hands, crossed them in front of her chest, and then silently repeated:

"The only true refuge is peace!"

"The only true refuge is peace!"

Again and again, until the entire city became extremely quiet.

In the dim and tranquil atmosphere, they were greeted by chants composed of sacred and ethereal voices:

"The crimson full moon rises, illuminating the earth."

Everyone was lost in a sweet dream, dreaming of themselves.

"Dreaming of your parents, wife, and children means it will last forever!"

The sacred and rhythmic sounds echoed in layers, the chanting emanating from the city's Night Church sounding as if multiple choirs were praising Goddess. The worshippers in the Night Church were involuntarily calmed, seemingly forgetting life's troubles and no longer worrying about the various problems of the real world.

Soldiers, civilians, and officers all fell asleep one after another, behind the fortifications, inside houses, and along the streets.

They dreamed of a tranquil darkness, of moonflowers and clusters of night-blooming jasmine, and their minds and bodies were at peace, no longer eroded by fear.

Inside the Hall family's luxurious villa, Audrey opened her eyes. Looking at her family and servants who were already soundly asleep behind her, she murmured softly:

"Is that the goddess's divine kingdom?"

That tranquil darkness, filled with moonflowers, night-blooming jasmine, and other plants, stretched endlessly. But the darkness did not inspire fear; instead, it brought a sense of peace, as if one were in a pure land, free from any threats or worries.

In the mystical world, the moonflower symbolizes the Crimson Lord, and the night-blooming jasmine symbolizes the night.

That tranquil darkness, filled with moonflowers and night-blooming jasmine, is undoubtedly the divine kingdom of the night.

That is the goddess's blessing upon her believers.

Audrey believed that such things must happen all over the world, and that believers in the darkness would be protected.

So, what about other places?

Audrey seemed to have realized something—gods need believers, and believers' faith needs to serve as an anchor to stabilize their own state.

The goddess will intervene to save her followers, and other righteous gods will obviously be no exception. Fussac is protected by the god of war, Intis by the eternal sun, and Feneport by the earth goddess... Under the power of the gods, the influence of fear will be minimized.

But this still inevitably arouses curiosity: what exactly is that dazzling Milky Way that hangs high in the sky, terrifies even demigods, and forces even gods to intervene to save their believers?

Audrey was curious, but her instincts told her, "Don't look up! Don't look up!"

Just a slight glance upwards is enough to instill boundless fear within one's heart.

Who knows what would happen if I looked again?

It might explode on the spot, or even get completely out of control!

In the mysterious world, it is inevitable for extraordinary people to be curious about the unknown, but they must learn to restrain themselves!

Only by maintaining curiosity can we avoid losing the desire to explore.

But only by restraining one's curiosity can one live longer.

Audrey took a deep breath and drew the curtains to block the view.

All she needs to do now is protect her family members who have fallen into a deep sleep.

-

Inside a luxury villa in the western part of Backland.

A woman dressed in an Intis-style white blouse, with her chestnut hair flowing naturally, sat quietly on a table on the balcony, gazing at the almost tangible, cool, full moon in the sky.

She was familiar with both full moons; one was the red moon that she had seen almost every night during her more than one hundred years of life.

As for the other, clear and bright blue moon...

Bernadette looked across at the table, where a petite doll sat on a custom-made chair, elegantly sipping red tea from a custom-made cup on the edge of the table.

Bernadette's azure eyes, like a condensed ocean, swept over them, and she asked softly:

"Shouldn't we get involved?"

That bright, clear blue full moon was clearly the embodiment of the person before her. The opponent had already made their move, but Bernadette didn't know who her opponent was or what they were planning.

Her question was actually just a small test—

To the gods, such a test would be utterly disrespectful, but Bernadette knew that He did not reject such clever temptations.

Bernadette even had the illusion that He seemed to enjoy this way of being together. And it was an illusion because Bernadette didn't try to guess the god's intentions.

"unnecessary."

The petite doll placed the teacup on the custom-made small table, her tone as calm as ever:

"There's nothing you can do."

Bernadette quietly poured a cup of tea for the petite doll.

She is already a Sequence 2 angel, and she has the right to intervene even in battles between Sequence 1 angels or even the Angel King.

Although she was destined to be no match for the King of Angels, she could still put up a short-term standoff.

Kranny, however, said she had no right to interfere, which meant this was a genuine battle of gods?

Who will wage war against whom? The night and the god of war?

It's no secret that the Fusak Empire and the Kingdom of Rune are deeply entrenched in conflict, and that the Goddess of Night and the God of War are mutually hostile. Now that the Fusak Empire has launched a surprise attack on the Kingdom of Rune, a divine war between their gods is not out of the question.

The twilight that appeared in Backlund not long ago also carried a clear hostility.

But the darkness now is clearly not directed at the God of War, but at certain beings in the starry sky.

Those powerful beings lurking outside the world mostly covet the power this world possesses, and are constantly thinking about invading it.

To date, many beings have infiltrated the world with their influence—whether it is the Bound God controlled by the Mother Tree of Desire or the petite doll before her, they are all incarnations of Outer Gods.

So, is the night fighting against those outer gods?

No, if it were the Night fighting against the Outer Gods, the scene wouldn't be like this. The battle between gods would be far more terrifying than anyone could imagine! The power that the Night is currently displaying is less about fighting against the Outer Gods and more about isolating itself from the aftershocks of the battle taking place in the starry sky.

The protagonists of the God Wars are all outside the starry sky—the Red Moon, the Blue Moon, the Milky Way, and countless terrifying beings.

"Are the aftershocks alone enough to destroy the world?"

A deep sense of powerlessness suddenly welled up in Bernadette's heart.

Before becoming an angel, she naively believed that everything would go smoothly.

She even thought she had a chance to take advantage of Him.

But when she truly became an angel, and when she learned a little about the 'Outer Gods,' 'Old Ones,' and 'Starry Sky' through various channels, her sense of powerlessness grew day by day.

In the eyes of the world, angels are the strongest beings below the gods.

The most powerful of these angel kings are so powerful that even the gods are powerless against them.

But what can be done about it?

Before the Outer God, everything is vanity.

Even the gods struggled before them, desperately seeking a glimmer of hope.

Just as He said, there was nothing she could do.

She couldn't even save her father.

Bernadette fell completely silent, her eyes filled with frustration and her mood extremely low.

The petite doll took a sip of her black tea and turned her gaze away from Bernadette. Although she was now an angel, she was still inevitably affected by looking directly at the Milky Way.

The terror lurking within Comet Azler is not static, but rather grows stronger with each passing day—

The origin that Yazler glimpsed was darkness, and that abyss of darkness not only robbed him of his mind but also instilled fear in him.

But the fear of darkness is not static.

The more you learn, the more fearful you become of the unknown abyss.

The stronger a person is, the more fear and anxiety they will feel.

These fears grow stronger every day, and one day they will crush all those who peer into the abyss.

The petite doll's gaze pierced the darkness, revealing the Milky Way stretching across the sky, and she whispered:

"Ashmi, it's been a long time!"

A slight smile played on her lips as she murmured to herself.
