Chapter 1415 - 1328: The Truth of the Underground Palace (Part 2)

Chapter 1415: Chapter 1328: The Truth of the Underground Palace (Part 2)

In fact, Horn could basically deduce the general truth of the events from what Cynthia said.

It was probably about a powerful entity called the Witch, being hunted by something called the Eternal Fire, and ultimately getting sealed.

The Witch’s consciousness is like a virus, and what they call protection is equivalent to isolation clothing.

Then the trough elves, without wearing masks, ran around and got infected and parasitized, giving birth to a true fairy witch with the Witch’s consciousness and some of her powers.

However, this Witch was plotted against by the Giant Dragon and the elves and was split into Lilith and Miseria.

Both sides wanted to seize the power of the True God Witch, resulting in mutual destruction, remaining in a stalemate even now, delaying the Witch’s resurrection.

The so-called two true souls and two anchor points, in Horn’s view, simply refers to software and hardware.

Lilith’s Heart, Miseria’s Head, represents the hardware of the Witch’s abilities, while the two souls are the software of the Witch’s consciousness.

Once the hardware is complete and the software is installed, the program can run.

So gathering these four elements can allow the fairy witch to resurrect, and then continuously resurrect to the level of a True God Witch.

What historical details, what two apples, what Spirit Realm and Star Realm, what limitless darkness of the myriad...

Cynthia’s words, in Horn’s view, were all unimportant.

Thinking about this is like ancient people pondering nuclear physics, whether they understand it or not, it doesn’t affect the present.

The Holy Alliance’s level now is akin to the United Kingdom or France on the eve of the Industrial Revolution, so what good does a cosmic truth do for Horn?

That’s why it’s important to grasp the primary and secondary contradictions. The primary contradiction now isn’t who the Eternal Fire is or what the limitless darkness is, but how to deal with the world-ending disaster.

But Horn never expected that the twists and turns would eventually lead back to himself.

He always thought that his extraordinary mana and special parasitic bacteria were benefits that came with being a Transmigrator.

"Wait, wait, wait, you must be mistaken?" Horn waved his hands repeatedly, "I have Miseria’s Head and Lilith’s Heart in me? How come I don’t know? How come I can’t see it? I get a physical check-up every year."

"The so-called Miseria’s Head and Lilith’s Heart are merely names for the powers." Cynthia was obviously much more sarcastic in front of Horn, "Their specific size is smaller than the smallest component of matter.

Even I only detected them just now. If the Holy Alliance could detect them, then you’d be more formidable than the Giant Dragon."

"But why?" Horn still couldn’t understand, "Why do they appear in me?"

"Pretend, keep pretending." Cynthia’s dragon head rolled its eyes, "You’re not from this world; you weren’t marked by the Eternal Fire, and your soul wasn’t corrupted by the Witch.

With the two anchor points hidden in you, without the Witch’s soul, your human body can’t exert the true powers.

Once She revives within you, the Eternal Fire can’t touch Her, allowing Her to escape with ease.

Seeing Horn still in disbelief, Cynthia continued, "Why don’t you recall how you came to this world? What happened then?"

Horn fell silent, recalling that he didn’t resurrect directly upon arriving in this world; he stayed in his mind for a while.

After resurrection, he almost immediately possessed the Witch’s constitution.

At the time, he thought it was just a benefit that came with being a Transmigrator, but now it seems it wasn’t!

According to this, the two goddesses bestowed him with the head and the heart, meaning he was the child born from the incestuous union of twin sisters.

He really was the Saint’s Grandson!

One must say, this level of grotesqueness does have a hint of that early mythological flavor.

"When did they do this? No, wasn’t Serafe already Lilith by then? How could she still place the anchor points in me?"

"...Domestic affairs, national affairs, worldly affairs, I’m not omniscient either."

The fact that Horn is from another world didn’t bother Hilov much since she knew Horn as he is now when they met.

What she couldn’t understand was another point: "Isn’t this too risky? What if they couldn’t capture Horn?"

"At that time, Serafe indeed had no power, but Misera at that time could manipulate the Pope." Cynthia, speaking to Hilov, but her eyes were fixed on Horn, "Miseria was obviously confident she could catch this kid and took many measures.

Unfortunately, fate, the souls of the two sisters were ultimately trapped within the elves’ bodies, unable to disrupt causality like a True God Witch to see the origins and ends."

Cynthia sighed cryptically, but Horn felt a sense of realization dawning.

If viewed this way, the death of Johnny VIII and the actions and suicide of Puliano Pope all made sense.

Why did Johnny VIII die so mysteriously?

Because he was disobedient and not useful; he’d worn the triple crown for so many years without issue, then suddenly stumbled, the crown fell, and he died.

Thinking further, Prince Kongdai’s reason for going to Thousand River Valley was substantial, but his inexplicable reasons for rushing to Shangruifo County and his mad pursuit of Horn were not as substantial.

Perhaps it was the Old Pope’s order? Horn couldn’t help but speculate so.

Precisely because they couldn’t grasp Horn earlier, and Miseria, unlike Lilith, didn’t have the residual body of the original Witch for divine descent, they changed to a different spokesperson.

This way, despite having no enmity with the Holy Alliance, Puliano used all church resources to support King Jiji’s eastern expedition to Thousand River Valley.
