Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Soren Einhorn Medici.

The trinity of evil spirits, although their strength is not even one tenth of what it was at its peak, but as the product of the fusion of the residual spirits of three Sequence 1 angels, their essence is still angels, and they still have the rank of angels!
Even though they were only as powerful as demigods and would have trouble dealing with another demigod, as former mythical creatures, they possessed far more divinity than ordinary demigods.

The remaining divinity still allows them to easily do things that ordinary demigods cannot do—

Such as seizing the body.

So when the Black Knight stepped into the room where they were sealed, they took over their bodies in an instant.

This body had no independent consciousness, and was powerless to resist their "possession", but at the same time it possessed a physical strength that was comparable to that of a dragon, as well as some extraordinary abilities that they had never heard of... Everything about it made Medici overjoyed, because there was no other body more suitable for them than this!
Although the appearance of the Black Knight was very abrupt, it was as if someone was deliberately luring them to take over his body.

But Medici, who had been trapped for thousands of years, didn't care about that. The three of them quickly reached an agreement and successfully occupied this body, escaped from the ruins, and escaped from their burial place.

However, although they occupy this body, they know very little about it.

The so-called Black Knight is nothing but dregs burned to ashes by the First Fire.

Even if they were burned to ashes, they still could not escape the fate of slavery.

They were once the noble Silver Knights, the brave warriors who participated in the Ancient Dragon War, and the heroes who laid the eternal foundation of the Gods.

But no matter how glorious their past was, now that they have lost their self-awareness they are nothing more than puppets of the First Fire.

The desire for fire is an instinct engraved in every ash of this broken body.

So when the Black Knight saw the flames, he, who was originally a First Fire Puppet, returned to his master's arms without hesitation.

Even though he had lost control of his body at this moment, even though it was Medici who was controlling this body at this moment.

But the Black Knight was first a puppet of the First Fire, and then a body possessed by Medici.

In other words, Embers, which is one side of the First Flame, has a higher priority than Medici in controlling this body!

The Black Knight was originally the most perfect body in Medici's eyes, but now, this once perfect body has become Medici's new prison.

The embers gained control of the body, thus imprisoning the three of them in this body.

And the moment the Black Knight accepted the flame, they who were imprisoned in this body were also forced to accept the flame.

The fusion with the flames meant that the embers indirectly gained control over them.

Therefore, Ember can do something that they can't do easily——

For example, check their memories.

"Number: 17."

"Name: Hidden Angel"

"Danger level: '0', extremely dangerous, highest level of importance, highest level of confidentiality, cannot be inquired, cannot be spread, cannot be described, cannot be peeped."

"Secrecy level: The Pope, Group A researchers, and the Archbishop in charge of the Backlund Diocese (Note: When the Archbishop is transferred from the Backlund Diocese, the relevant memory must be cleared using Sealed Artifact '1-29')"

"Sealing method: Use '1-29' and '1-80' to complete the seal."

“Description: This is not an item.

“This is a living angel.

“She has a beautiful appearance, black hair and eyes, and appears to be a young woman, but her actual age cannot be estimated.

“…He does not have the wings recorded in the scriptures. Judging from his appearance alone, he is not very different from ordinary people.

“…He has no ability to think and has lost all spiritual intelligence.

"…anyone and any object that comes near him will completely disappear…through divination and other means, it can be confirmed that they are still alive and really exist.

But it has not been found yet. 1825 methods have been tried so far, and all have failed.

"…The impact area of ​​'0-17' expands and contracts irregularly, and has caused the disappearance of more than 70 researchers so far."

……

"Warning, He cannot be used!"

"Appendix 1: This sealed object first appeared in the Pale Age of the Fourth Epoch. The specific year is missing. The specific date is missing. The specific location is missing."

"Appendix 2: Data shows that 'He' has been awakened five times."

"Appendix 3: There are certain conditions under which it cannot be used. It has been confirmed that he can be used as a vessel for the goddess to descend."

……

Yu Jin was surprised:
"So, this is your purpose? You even want to steal the body of the Goddess of Night?"

He thought Medici would be disheartened, but Medici argued:

"So what? The treasures of the world belong only to the capable!"

"He can't use it himself anyway, so what's wrong with me helping Him use it?"

"Besides, where do you think this body came from? His methods were not honorable to begin with!"

"As a subordinate god who destroyed the demon wolf, he chose to make peace with the blood clan and secretly murdered Fragra!"

"After the fall of that ancient god, he not only mastered the authority related to the Night and successfully ascended to the Sequence 0 throne, but also single-handedly destroyed all the descendants of Fragra, sealed the angels of the Antigonus family in the Kingdom of Night, and used the body of the Mother of Heaven as a vessel for his descent!"

"Compared to Him, what am I?!"

Yu Jin heard the obvious sarcasm and disdain in Medici's words, and suddenly said:

"Are you in a hurry?"

Medici's breathing stagnated, and then he became angry and embarrassed:
"I'm anxious? Why am I anxious?! What is there for me to be anxious about?"

Ember looked at him calmly:
"It seems that the betrayal of others has stimulated you. You seem to be criticizing her, but in fact you are criticizing yourself."

"What are you regretting? Are you regretting not being able to stop their betrayal, or are you regretting not joining them? Regardless of whether you had stopped them or joined them, you wouldn't be in this situation today."

"If you betray Him, there is a high chance that you will become a god."

"The three of them are always afraid of the revenge of Zhen Zao, so they will try every means to win over the forces they can. If you choose to betray them, they will definitely find ways to help you become a god."

"And if you can stop them, the Ancient Sun God will help you become a god as a reward."

"But unfortunately, you failed to do any of them."

Medici said in a low voice:
"enough."

Yu Jin did not stop, but continued to calmly narrate something that had nothing to do with him:
"You failed to stop their betrayal, nor did you join them." "You chose loyalty, just like Ouroboros. You all chose loyalty."

"But even in terms of loyalty, there are actually fundamental differences between you."

"He may be based on the attachment established since childhood, but you are based on guilt. You feel guilty about what happened in the past, so the only thing you can do is to be loyal to Zhenzao."

"Your loyalty is more like a kind of atonement."

After a pause, Yu Jin suddenly smiled:
"This reminds me of Krieger. Their loyalty is also for atonement."

"Fight for atonement, die for loyalty."

"You may have thought so at the time, wanting to use death to prove your loyalty to Zhenzao."

"So you probably haven't thought about becoming a god. It's not just because Zhenzao is afraid of another betrayal and doesn't want to see you ascend to the throne. It's also because you don't want to become a god. You don't want to be suspected by Zhenzao. His suspicious eyes will make you hate yourself even more."

"At the same time, His suspicious gaze will also make you doubt yourself, and wonder whether your loyalty is worth it. You begin to fear that if you become a god, you will betray Him like Them did."

"But you didn't die. Instead, you were trapped together with your mortal enemy for thousands of years, becoming a trinity of evil spirits. It seems that you have reconciled. After all, thousands of years of getting along are enough for you to learn to coexist peacefully."

“But at the same time, you’re also thinking.”

"You start to think that if you had chosen to become a god, things wouldn't have turned out like this."

Medici gritted his teeth and roared:

"I've said enough..."

The flames engulfed Medici, and Yu Jin spoke slowly:

"If you become a god, Zhen Zao will be under much less pressure. As a god, you can definitely help Him fight against the Six Gods. You won't die, and He won't be sealed in the God-forsaken Land, and the Six Gods won't become the mainstream belief of the Northern Continent."

"You can even help Ouroboros become a god, so that you will have three true gods. With the powerful strength of the true gods, combined with the allies you can win over, you can not only fight against the six gods, but you will even have a chance to kill the three traitors."

"That way, Zhen Zao will have a chance to become the Ancient Sun God again and put everything back on track."

"This is a beautiful ending, but the beautiful imagination also makes the cruel reality more difficult to accept."

"You failed to become a god, and Shinzo failed to defeat the Six Gods."

"So you deny the beautiful imagination in your mind, imagine that this is not going to be so beautiful, and you start to think about everything in the worst possible way."

"For example, even though you have great power after becoming a god, you can fight against the six gods with Zhenzao. But you didn't do so. Because of your past experiences, you would choose to betray, which would put Zhenzao under greater pressure."

"Compared to such a terrible future, the bleak ending now is not unacceptable."

“You begin to believe that not becoming a god is the best outcome, or you force yourself to believe that now is the best outcome.”

"Even if you were made into a potion, even if you were forced to be locked up with your mortal enemy for thousands of years."

"But at least you were still loyal. You used death to maintain your loyalty and completed your redemption."

“Then, you got out of trouble.”

"You should have died long ago, but thanks to your status as an angel, you have stubbornly survived until now, and have lived to be released."

"But you're not stupid. Your 'conspirator' nature makes you suspect that all this is a conspiracy."

"Of course. After all, the reason you were made into a potion was a conspiracy. And that conspiracy was done by Adam and Amon, the children of the ancient sun god. You hate what they did."

"They were still loyal to the True Creation, but they, as the descendants of the True Creation, chose to betray. You thought that no matter what, everyone was once loyal, and at least they did not follow the Wind Angels in betrayal."

"They just have different ideas and are unwilling to admit that the current True Creation is the Ancient Sun God. So deep down, you still think they are trustworthy friends, even if their behavior logic is a little weird, even if you often mock them, but at least you have never thought of harming them."

"But Adam didn't think so. He even teamed up with Alistair to set a trap and turned you into a potion."

"It's obvious that you, who are still loyal to the True Creation, are the best choice, but Adam would rather let Alistair, an outsider who will definitely go crazy due to the promotion, ascend to the throne of God and become Sequence 0 of the Red Priest Path."

"You are confused, angry, resentful, and negative emotions are surging in your heart."

"But you know exactly why Adam did this."

"Because he wants to resurrect the 'Creator,' he does not acknowledge that the real Creator is his father at all."

"If you become a god, you will only continue to support the real Creator, and Adam's plan to resurrect the 'Creator' will become even more distant."

"So, you must die."

"As long as you die, the True Creator will lose his most loyal subordinate."

"The remaining Ouroboros is just a giant baby, and it's hard for him to be a leader."

"And to ensure that Ouroboros does not repeat the same mistake, he will never become a god. Adam will do everything he can to prevent this from happening. For an Angel King of the Visionary Path, it is difficult to kill another Angel King, but it is easy to prevent him from becoming a Sequence 0."

"You know the truth of everything, but you are unwilling to accept it."

"And when you escaped, when you learned that the real creation was sealed in the God-forsaken Land, you understood everything—"

"The true creator was deceived. He was deceived by his own son."

"His sealing was not only caused by the six gods, but also secretly planned by Adam."

"Only when the real Creator is sealed away can the 'Creator' resurrected by Adam gain the upper hand in the subsequent struggle. All of this is for today."

"As long as Adam becomes a god and uses himself as a vessel for the Creator's resurrection, all of this will become a foregone conclusion. But even if you understand all of this, you are powerless to stop it after just escaping. You can only watch it all happen."

"You start to regret again, regretting why you fell into the trap in the first place."

"If you hadn't died, the True Creator's current situation wouldn't be so bad."

"If you hadn't died, Adam's plan wouldn't have been so easy to succeed, and the real creation wouldn't have been sealed."

"You know there's no point in regretting because you can't change the past."

“So you just have to start changing the future.”

"You hope to become an angel again, even if it's just an ordinary angel, so that you can at least play a role and not be an outsider or a bystander."

"So, you contacted the True Creator and wanted to steal the body of the Mother of Heaven."

The ember removed the flames that bound Medici and stared at him quietly.

Medici's voice was hoarse:

"what do you want to say in the end?"
