Mystery: She came from the Chaos Sea

Chapter 155 The Selection of the Lord of Mysteries

A pair of eyes made of pure starlight, containing layers of illusory doors, floated out from the huge light and shadow behind them under Hermione's control and landed in front of Amon on the Pillar of Error.

The rest of the people cast their eyes over.

Most of them, though, were unable to glimpse the specific contents of the Gou San family's path from the blasphemous stone tablet.

But at this moment, everyone guessed that the uniqueness of this "door" path should be the uniqueness of the adjacent path that Amon needed.

Amon was slightly surprised. He had never expected that his cautious mother would actually let him get so close to the uniqueness of the "door".

He stretched out his hand and grasped this uniqueness that radiated brilliant light.

At this moment, the strong desire that surged in his heart calmed down a little.
But then, the desire to gather together became more violent and difficult to suppress, like a surging wave.

But He couldn't eat it.

Because this is Hermione's kingdom.

Moreover, this is the space extending from the "Sea of Chaos".

Of course, Amon, who remained rational, didn't dare to eat it.

Hermione looked at Amon holding the Starlight Eyes, and for a moment, she thought of many things -

When the uniqueness of this "door", the characteristics of that "star key" and the last characteristic of the "worm of time" fell into her hands, the final puzzle piece for the birth of the "Lord of Mysteries" was now in her hands.

The Amon in front of him possessed both the characteristics of the "Time Worm" and the uniqueness of "Error".

Antigonus on the main peak of Honachis possesses two characteristics of "Secret Servant" and the uniqueness of "Fool".

Although there are still two "Star Keys" and one "Mysterious Servant" characteristics lost in the entire Gou San family, that does not affect her ability to facilitate the birth of the "Lord of Mysteries".

Now, she only needs to give the "Time Worm" characteristics to Amon, so that Amon can successfully complete the promotion ceremony and become a true god of the "wrong" path.

Then, after Amon has accommodated the "Source Essence", he will accommodate the uniqueness of the "Gate", the uniqueness of the "Fool", a copy of the "Star Key" characteristic, and a copy of the "Attendant of Mysteries" characteristic. Then, Amon can be promoted to the "Lord of Mysteries".

Once the "Lord of Mysteries" is born, the barrier of the Heavenly Lord that covers the Western Continent will be able to be opened.

By then, the source essence, uniqueness, and extraordinary characteristics contained in the four major continents of the southeast, northwest, northeast, and southwest will be able to be fully utilized to cultivate seven ancients.

Imagine that the two Pillars plus the seven Old Ones, with one mind and one purpose, the combined power is enough to penetrate the entire universe.

But there is no doubt that Amon today cannot even take the first step. The moment Amon becomes the true god of the "wrong" path, he will be replaced by the will of "Tianzun".

By that time, there will only be one battle breaking out on Earth, with her, the quasi-"omniscient and omnipotent", on one side and the "Lord of Mysteries" with limited power on the other.

Even if Hermione wanted to use her "notarization" authority to sign a cooperation contract with "Tianzun", "Tianzun" who possessed the "fool" authority could not be bound by the contract, so the two could not cooperate at all.

However, if one wants to obtain the source material on the Western Continent and allow the "Lord of Mysteries" to be born, there is a foundation that cannot be avoided.

The most stable method is to wait for Zhou Mingrui to come down from "Source Castle" as in the original time and space.

Hermione wasn't worried that Zhou Mingrui wouldn't cooperate with her plans. Even if his brother's authority wasn't enough, his sister's bloodline was definitely enough to suppress him...

but……

With a soft sigh in her heart, Hermione said to Amon:
"Giving you the uniqueness of the doorway is for you to find the underworld. It was by relying on the uniqueness of this 'door' that the 'Phoenix Ancestor' was able to open up the underworld within the spirit world."

"Besides, the uniqueness of the 'Gate' is given to you, and the characteristics of the 'Time Worm' must be kept with me."

Amon nodded slightly, not objecting. Hermione's attitude clearly showed that she had no objection to His pursuit of the old ways, so He smiled and said, "I will follow your will, my venerable Sun God."

Hermione did not object to Amon becoming the "Lord of Mysteries". Not to mention how long Zhou Mingrui would have to wait before coming down from "Source Castle", even if Zhou Mingrui came out of "Source Castle", her brother did not have such a strong desire to become the "Lord of Mysteries".

Zhou Mingrui has a very obvious mentality of being content with a small fortune. He is kind, loyal, and responsible, but he also wants to be lazy, eat delicious food, travel, and enjoy life.

It is this shabby and fucked up mysterious world that forces him to become the "Lord of Mysteries" step by step, to fight against the "Tianzun" and the outer gods, to save the world.

Of course, if one day, Zhou Mingrui and Amon, who became the true god of the "wrong" path, stood in front of her at the same time, and both were willing to become the "Lord of Mysteries", then Hermione would be more inclined to let Zhou Mingrui become the "Lord of Mysteries".

Even if Zhou Mingrui's sequence is lower.

It’s not that the two have a close or distant relationship with her. To her, they are like the palms and backs of her hands.

However, after Zhou Mingrui became the "Lord of Mysteries", he was certain to be able to fight against the will of "Tianzun", but whether Amon could truly fight against the will of "Tianzun" was still an unknown.

Now, Hermione could only do her best to deduce a path with the highest success rate for Amon.

Without looking at Amon who was playing with the pair of starlight eyes, Hermione looked at the "Spiritual Angel" Tolzner and said:

"Spiritual Angel, I can help stabilize your condition, but you must know that if you can continue to fight the influence of the Mother Tree of Desire with your own will, it will be beneficial to your future ascension to a True God."

Hermione had already told Tolzner the contents of the "Bound Ones" path on the profane slate, as well as information about the "Mother Tree of Desire."

Tolzner raised his head, a pure smile on his face, and said in a childish yet firm voice, "Lord, I can hold on."

The final piece of the "divine evil" attribute that Tolzner needed was taken to the Abyss by the "Demon King" Fabuti, a place beyond Hermione's reach. Moreover, since Fabuti's death, Hermione has difficulty in determining what the Abyss truly looks like today.

Hermione planned to go to the abyss to explore the situation.

The rest of the people were in good condition, and their respective affairs were progressing in an orderly manner. There was nothing that required special attention.

Amon, in a good mood, took the initiative to ask:

"The Fallen Mother Goddess, the Mother Tree of Desire, the Uncertain Mist, the Decayed King, and the Goddess of Fate, are these the Outer Gods who showed up this time? Since they can infiltrate their power and bestow it on Badheir, does it mean that they can also make backup plans in other places?" Grisha and Tolzner both felt embarrassed at being named.

"That possibility can't be ruled out." Hermione glanced at Amon, who was deliberately trying to upset his teammates, and continued, "But with the original barrier, the power these Outer Gods are able to penetrate must have a carrier of sufficiently high status to achieve the desired effect."

Hermione later deduced that the core target of the Outer Gods' actions was actually Amon. All other means were merely aimed at disrupting the situation.

They took the "Worm of Time" from Russell first, and the real purpose of this action was to attract Amon's attention.

Then the plan was to have Badhair devour the uniqueness of "error", and thus use the authority of the two uniquenesses of "error" and "door" to open a more stable crack in the original barrier.

However, before the Hidden Sage could attract Amon, he had already been targeted by Amanesis. Finally, the Outer Gods were forced to hastily condense Badheir into a gate of corrupted flesh and blood to make an attempt.

But by then, Grisha had already taken Hermione's place on the Iron Throne, leaving Hermione with enough energy to deal with the matter.

"Therefore, based on the current hidden danger analysis, our next priority is to do our utmost to collect the unique and high-sequence characteristics of the various pathways scattered outside."

Hermione instructed everyone:
"As for uniqueness, aside from the 'Abyss' uniqueness left in the Abyss and the 'Eternal Sleeper' uniqueness left in the Underworld, there are also no clues to the uniqueness of the 'Witch', 'Red Priest', 'Wheel of Fortune', 'Judge', and 'Black Emperor' paths. These uniquenesses have the potential to be exploited by the Outer Gods."

Listening to the arrangement of the "Sun God", Grisha, who was standing on the Pillar of Wisdom, was secretly amazed, because this arrangement actually also meant that the "Sun God" now had the uniqueness of the fifteen paths.

As long as this "Sun God" can resist the erosion of "God's" will and then cultivate a "Lord of Mysteries", the threat of doomsday will be greatly reduced and mankind will be able to usher in a real turning point.

Grisha unconsciously turned his head and looked at Amon on the Pillar of Error.

He naturally felt a closeness to Amon.

But He also favored letting the "Klein Moretti" who would emerge from "Source Castle" in the future become the new "Lord of Mysteries" because that was a successful case for Earth.

But from the arrangements of the "Sun God", Grisha could see that the "Sun God" was already supporting Amon on the path to becoming the "Lord of Mysteries".

Grisha did not hesitate and decided to stand on the side of the "Sun God" and follow the arrangements of the "Sun God".

However, out of caution, he still gave a subtle reminder: "Respected 'Sun God', now the entire situation depends on you alone. Your condition is of utmost importance."

Hermione could tell that Grisha was not only worried about her condition, but was also subtly hinting that if he wanted to train a "Lord of Mysteries", it would be best to do so based on her former strength.

This was a huge turnaround from what Grisha had thought when he first woke up.

Now Grisha really placed his vision of saving the world on her.

Grisha's reminder didn't require a response, but Hermione asked another question: "'Angel of Enlightenment', can you create a device that can connect Beyonders from other paths into a network?"

Hermione wants to use this type of device to collect characteristics.

Unfortunately, Grisha shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, "Unless I can accommodate the uniqueness of the corresponding path, I can make a similar device."

The price was too high, and Hermione would certainly not allow Grisha, the core of the intelligent computer, to become a crazy ancient god.

Then, one figure after another disappeared from the dream space, and in the end, only Hermione and Amanesis were left.

"How are you doing?" Amanesis also asked.

Hermione smiled easily and said, "It's quite stable. If I don't seek further advancement, I can ensure that this state can be maintained until the end of the world."

Amanesis sighed, "But you obviously intend to go further..."

It was precisely because of her desire to go further that Hermione took advantage of Grisha's arrangements to draw out the arrangements of the Outer Gods, hoping to clear the mines in advance or accumulate some intelligence.

Hermione looked at Amanesis, who had returned to his original state and whose eyes revealed a worried look, and smiled, comforting him:

"However, this is not something that can be accomplished in the near future. I plan to allow more True Gods to be born first, and then steadily advance this plan."

"Are you not sure?" Amanesis asked with a frown.

Hermione waved her hand. "Based on our deductions, we have a pretty good chance of success, and I'm not trying to negate God's will... But when making plans, we must, of course, prepare for the worst-case scenario. The more true gods we have among our companions, the greater our margin for error in dealing with emergencies."

Amanesis sighed upon hearing this, but he would not persuade Hermione to give up the idea of becoming the old one. That was not in line with Hermione's temperament, and at the same time, it was not in line with his temperament.

They are the type who are determined to take control of their own destiny no matter what dangers they face.

After thinking for a moment, He suggested, "Then why not use the 'God's Hand' trait to train an Archangel? After all, the more combat power on Earth, the better."

To this, Hermione directly objected:
"Publicity is public, private is private. We must be cautious about such matters."

"Until you and I become old friends, I will not allow any Archangels to appear on these eight paths, including the five families and the three families in the Black Death War. Sequence Two is my bottom line."

Regardless of who they were, becoming an Archangel of the Sequence inevitably led to the desire to contain the uniqueness at the top of the path. However, before becoming an Ancient, many of the uniquenesses they held were merely held, not truly contained, which created a small chance of accidents.

Therefore, Hermione not only planned to completely seal the Sequence One characteristics of all five families and the three families in the Black Death War, but also tried her best to recover the Sequence One characteristics that were scattered outside.

Now, all five families still have a copy of Thor's characteristics scattered around.

On the other hand, the uniqueness of the "God of Death" or "Eternal Sleeper" path and the three copies of Sequence One characteristic are suspected to be possessed by other people.

Hermione frowned slightly and continued, "As for you, I suspect the one who took the Eternal Sleeper's uniqueness from the Underworld has defected to the Outer Gods. Otherwise, the uniqueness of the Gate left in the Underworld shouldn't have fallen into the hands of Badhair, who is controlled by the Outer Gods."

Upon hearing this, Amanesis subconsciously said, "Wouldn't it be dangerous to go look for Amon in the underworld?"

Hermione looked at Amanesis strangely and explained, "I warned Amon, and I'm keeping an eye on this matter. I won't let anything happen to Amon. But... when did the relationship between you and Amon become so harmonious?"
