The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing-Chapter 788 - 399: The More It Shows We Did the Right Thing
[Reversed Pope]
[Can reverse the concept of magic or creatures once, lasting one day, can only be used once a day]
[Radiance is darkness, order is chaos, death is rebirth, destruction is prosperity, curse is blessing]
The brilliant starlight cascaded along Ansu's scepter, with stars and the earth tilting into one another, the concepts of the world turning hazy at this moment, swirling up and down, with neither darkness nor light, neither right nor wrong, ascent is descent, heaven is nether.
And the object of this reversal is An Su's shadow— the girl hidden in the shadows.
Since An Su couldn't see through the Shadow Magic of the Black Saintess, let her be turned into radiance! Reverse the Black Saintess into the White Saintess!
Bring light to the dark!
Bring light to the dark!
In the present world three thousand years later, in the same place, under the same heaven, An Su had done a similar thing, that was for another girl.
Nether is but a circle, a spiraling loop.
The end of the story was revealed from the beginning.
Dusk and dawn intertwine, spring days and autumn nights reverse, three thousand years and a fleeting moment blur indistinguishably.
All things lose order under the reversed authority, the night is paved with russet burning clouds, the day is studded with pale blue stars. The flowerbeds of heaven bloom brilliantly, the steps of Nether are reversed up and down, while An Su, beneath the starlight, extends his hand to the shadowy, empty place.
Thus, across three thousand years, stars and night meet again.
He reached out his hand, toward the shadowy dark veil—
The taste of shadow and the unknown is completely different from that of the Mother Goddess of Life.
The latter is an indiscriminate eater, white kids are sweet cakes, black kids are salty stuffed cookies, she consumes the life of light or dark, while the former prefers but one bite, eating the 'unknown', devouring the names of the Shadow Demon Clan—especially the name of the Shadow Saintess.
In the sense of mysticism, a name is more important than life.
The vanishing of life is not complete death, for trace marks still etched in memory are proof of its existence, but losing a name is true dissipation.
No one can sense its existence, even oneself cannot sense one's own existence, this is emptiness and nothingness, this is true death.
All anchors of the past and future are tied to the name, the name is the existence itself.
And at the end of the sacrificial ritual, the shadow has already devoured ninety-nine point nine percent of the name, but this last trace, the shadow can no longer consume.
Because the sacrifice was replaced by An Su using the Reversed Pope.
The Chef Saint An Su eradicated most of the radiance, but conserved a portion, so the shadow and the unknown could know, it was consuming truth.
What should have been the name of shadow and the unknown, was reversed into the name of radiance and truth. Truth repels the unknown, radiance again opposes shadow, undoubtedly, this was the shadow's most detested sacrifice.
[An Su Moningsta, you damn well eloped with the shadow's daughter again!]
Though not knowing why to use 'again', very impolite and puzzling.
However, it's apparent, this move by An Su has once again led to the birth of a new error.
The chains projected from the starry sky penetrate deeper, piercing deeply into An Su's soul, but since awakening the memory of the Bishop three thousand years ago, after opening his pure white eyes, his soul rank has entirely transcended the level of a Demigod, approaching a true God, not even the world chains can harm An Su.
Once, An Su relied on this special mechanism to banish Cersei from this world; but the same mechanism is ineffective against An Su.
Because he is the complete Keeper of the Gates of Heaven.
In plain terms, he is the chief of security, the key to the door is in his hand.
A soul approaching a God, combined with the god-like magic power of Heaven's Gate, speaking only in this world, An Su is a Pseudo-God capable of walking the mortal world, an erroneous Pseudo-God.
What is lacking, is merely the divine authority of the Gods.
[Error degree: ninety-nine point nine percent]
An Su still failed in usurping the authority of heaven, with just one error, he cannot cause heaven to collapse, the fate of nether weighing upon all ages remains unresolved.
Yet now, the world no longer has just one error.
He disregards the world's constraints, pure white gaze falling downward, observing the glimmer gathering in the shadow before him, the remnant spark of Enya, her past and future swallowed by the shadow, the only thing left for this girl, is now.
Only the fleeting moment, like a mere instant, on the verge of vanishing into the eternal night now.
Looking against the river of time forward, past time is an unstoppable stream flowing continuously, stretching three thousand years, looking with the river of time backward, future time is a vast ocean of turbulent waves never to return, also stretching three thousand years.
And the so-called now, is a tiny lonely boat wedged between the vast past and future, time passes by fleetingly, that is now.
The tiny spark of radiance, flickering slightly.
0.001.
This is the remnant fragment of the girl.
For An Su to become a complete error, escaped the destiny of destruction, the girl first sacrificed her past from two years ago, then her future two years later, now the creatures in this world, except for An Su, none can remember her.
Even the world has forgotten her.
Even she herself, has forgotten her.
An Su recalled that rainy night two years ago, recalled the dim iron windows and the swaying tree shadows, recalled the altar under the thin mist, recalled the girl hidden in his shadow, sacrificed her past, just as today, sacrificed her future.
And two years ago An Su was late, three thousand years ago, An Su was likewise late.
"Morning Star Young Master."
"I sacrifice in the name of Yage Sylvia, with my 'ignorance' to awaken his 'knowledge'"
"I sacrifice in the name of Enya Moningsta, with my 'shadow' to ignite his 'radiance'" freёwebnoѵel.com
"'Grant him the intellect to end Nether's cycle.'"
"Even if I have forgotten myself, please remember who you are."
"Even if radiance is veiled by shadow, please step on the final step of destiny."
The pure white eyes gazed at that gleam, the truth of destiny unfurled from An Su's pupils. An Su looked toward the present beyond heaven, the outside sky of time was about to break dawn, whether it was Yage Sylvia or Enya Moningsta, both were destined to perish in this dawn.
The reason why Enya could exist from the future, was because she once became a Faceless One, sacrificing her own name.
Also allowing that girl to become an 'error', an incomplete error, still a prisoner of fate.
Because this sacrificial ritual was not complete, An Su sacrificed his past but not his future; so that girl was still unable to transcend the fated passing, only that fated death was prolonged to three thousand years later.
She sacrificed her past and future to ensure An Su's absolute transcendence of fate.
Thus, the next thing An Su needed to do was simple. That was to do the same things as Miss Maid, the same as the Black Saintess, complete the unfinished ritual from three thousand years ago, sacrificing his past and future.
But, particularly preserve the 'now'.
Only preserving the fleeting 0.001 'now'.
Sacrifice each other, offer each other's names.
This is the true error, an error enough to overturn heaven!
He raised his eyes, defiantly staring at the shadow lurking beyond the stars, his pure white eyes meeting the Outer Gods, the boy provocatively spread his arms, a crazed smile cracking on his lips.
The previous dish was almost finished,
now, come and eat me.
The thing An Su needs to do is simple, which is doing the same thing as that girl did, as the latter gave her past and future to An Su, he must also entrust his past and future to that girl with amber-like, translucent pupils, a pale face, who loved wearing dark Lolita dresses, always trailing behind him, a down-to-earth girl.
The thing the star needs to do is simple, which is to exchange the past and future of one's life with the night!
[Error! Error! Error!]
[An Su Moningsta!!]
"I sacrifice in the name of An Su Moningsta, with my 'shadow' to ignite her 'radiance'."
[You are crazy! Stop immediately!]
[Stop immediately!]
The crimson error, originally stopping at the gate, began climbing toward the doorway!
An Su felt his future being devoured by shadow, when he spoke that incantation, he began to gradually forget his own name, the world also started to forget his past, but he still remembered the girl's name, Enya Moningsta, that was alright then.
If the world forgets Miss Maid, as long as An Su remembers her, it's alright; if the world forgets An Su, as long as Miss Maid remembers An Su, that's alright.
Between past and future, they mutually forget their own names, they remember each other's names, then existence will not dissipate. '
Then the fleeting moment of now will be the eternal eternity.
Countless times of forgetting, countless times of dying, countless times of remembering, countless times of revitalizing.
Two errors combine together, chain reaction exploding avalanche, this is the true card system's big bug!
Both sacrificed their own existence, allowing the other to remember each other's existence, so they both simultaneously forget and simultaneously remember, superimposed on that complex state, both transcending fate for each other, and both plummeting into the depths of nether!
The future and past are gone, only the now remains, having each other's now, the 0.001 eternal now.
[Error degree: 199.8%]
"Miss Maid."
An Su gazed at the gleam before him, his pure white eyes dancing with mad glory, he smiled and said:
"Grant her the intellect to end Nether's cycle."
"Even if I forget myself, I command you to remember who you are."
"Exchange your past, future with me—mine will be given to you too."
"We will only have now left, we will both be each other's mistakes."
The error began to wildly proliferate, heaven started to collapse, he laughed manically and said:
"Even if the destiny of heaven has collapsed, I command you to accompany me, step on that final step of error!"
An Su stretched out his hand, removing the dark-toned shadow veil.
The boy finally saw the swaying autumn rain again, the rustling parasol trees, saw the snowy frost and warm fireplaces, saw the night-sky accompanied by stars before dawn's arrival.
Across thirty thousand years, familiar yet strange.
When that night shed starlight-like tears, even if it was already bright outside, the elegance before him was still incredibly breathtaking.
"Cunning Young Master."
"This deal is not fair."
Though the girl was smiling, her cheeks streaked with warm tears, perhaps they were not tears, merely the bright autumn rain.
In the brilliant dawn, the autumn rain spoke softly.
"Besides the past and future—"
"You still owe me one day and eighteen hours."
