If Annan hadn't heard from the Sacrificial Sage, Henry Warden, the Lady of Silence, the Lady of Mystery, and the Lady of the Cup, he might have had to think hard to solve this nightmare.

However, Annan happened to know the secret.

- Lady Mystic was born but unborn by the cup-bearer "Cybelie" and was presented to the daughter of "Night" along with her womb.

It was because of this sacrificial ritual that the mysterious lady who was the god of rituals was born...... It was precisely because the "night" gave the mysterious lady a part of the power that he was demoted from the "night" to the god.

This happened at a time when mountains and rivers were not yet born.

Placel, as the first flesh and blood life in the world, was able to pass the way of "blood and desire" after completing this sacrifice. Since then, new life has been born.

And the "secret of creation" narrated by this secret, the timeline is after the secret of "winter".

The word "winter" was born before the birth of the four seasons, and even more so before the birth of light and fire. It was originally used to describe the stillness of the heavenly vault like a dying old man when the earth was first born; and the "earth's" hatred of everything that is not yet gone.

The earth here refers to the mother-in-law who buried the bones at the beginning of the world. And the heavenly dome "without light and fire" and "as quiet as a dying old man" naturally refers to "night".

Because there is no birth of light and fire, there is naturally no distinction between day and night. The lightless sky is the so-called "night".

That's why, only the rituals for Granny Bones and Lady Silent have an effect. And why did the mother-in-law respond so quickly......

"Because here, the correct name for the Buried Lady is ...... [Earth]."

- If there is day, there will be night; If there is earth, there will naturally be sky as well.

"Elle" stood in the pure, warm darkness, stared at the three spinning runes, and said calmly:

"It starts from the very beginning. I think you should be able to perceive it yourself, Elle, that this world is made with you and the Skeleton as the core, supplemented by the 'desires' of everyone else.

"Then you should be able to figure out for yourself why the world will loop indefinitely and stay on this day."

【…… Is it because I'm afraid that my mother will come home and I want to see Amos like that? 】

Without much time to think, Elle replied in Annan's heart.

The girl's voice was full of guilt and hesitation.

Obviously, she herself had thought about it a long time ago.

[If it weren't for me......]

"—you're wrong, Elle. It's not that you're afraid. ”

Annan asserted.

His pupils shimmered in sheer darkness.

It is the light called Understanding.

"Elle" was silent for a moment, but still sighed.

She whispered, "Maybe you forgot about yourself...... You're not Elle Morrison, and you're not Ariel Buckle. You're Elle Angelo.

"What is your real name...... Angelo. ”

- Elle is already dead.

"Joseph told me that Angelo was sealed in Frozen Water by them. And the gallery nightmare is what Angelo, the 'son of God', left behind. Elle is just a ghost who has repeated the tragedy a thousand times and thirty-four. ”

"From the very beginning, you were the daughter of the Skeleton Father."

Elle is just a mortal.

After she dies, there is no soul - only the bronze level transcendent can have a smoke soul, and the silver level transcendent can turn the condensed soul into liquid droplets, and the gold level can have a crystallized solid soul.

Even demons cannot extract "tangible" souls from mortal corpses.

The reason why Skeleton was able to keep Elle's soul was because she was still alive...... Amos traded her to the Skeleton Male, and by absorbing the curse of the gallery's nightmare, Elle's spirit finally took shape.

So here's the problem.

Since the formation of the gallery has nothing to do with Elle...... So what is the relationship between Angelo and Elle?

A scene that had not yet yellowed flashed in front of Annan's eyes.

That was after "Angelo", who was a ball of meat, turned into a baby girl weighing seven or eight pounds in the blink of an eye.

"—what shall I call you?"

At that time, Annan asked softly, "Skeleton Male?" Angelo? Still is...... Elle? ”

"—you can call me Elle...... Annan. This is the right I have granted you, for the sake of you being with me to the end, watching me be born. ”

The baby girl in front of Annan made a girlish voice: "And my real name is Angelo."

- Betrayal of the Angels...... Skeleton Father's daughter, Angelo. ”

It was the dead Elle who signed the pact with Annan...... Or rather, the newborn "Angelo".

And now this pure girl who doesn't know anything......

She's just Angelo who thinks she's "Elle".

Just like the android who thought he was "Nicholas II", the android with the memories of Nicholas.

“…… Obviously, you have forgotten the pain. But I have to help you remember. ”

"Elle" recounted.

And in Annan's heart, the real Ai Lei didn't say a word.

She didn't respond, as if she had disappeared.

Annan just said to himself: "Just be sure, you're Angelo and not Elle...... Another fact has emerged.

"Why does the Skeleton need you, as a half-body of God? Why can you help him to complete the truth of betrayal, and what is the purpose of your existence? ”

The Skeleton Master is a gifted ceremonist.

He was able to detect loopholes in the ritual of ascension and create new rituals of his own that did not require the necessary step of the Archetype of Truth, and he was already able to prove his talent.

So, what is the meaning of "Elle"......

"You may not know it, but the mysterious lady is the daughter of the cup bearer."

Annan said suddenly.

【…… What the? 】

This big news made Elle couldn't help but be stunned and couldn't hold back anymore.

"Yes. The mysterious lady is the unborn daughter of the cup-bearer, and she gave her daughter to the night along with her womb to receive the power of the Holy Grail. The night gave half of its power to the unborn baby, giving her existence and truth......

"The night is the Silent Lady."

- What is the so-called half of God?

So far.

The truth is already clear.

"It is not your mother that you fear. Or rather, not 'Elle''s mother, 'Lady Clara'. It's [your] 'mother'—your creator, the Skeleton Male.

"When the Skeleton returns, you will be sacrificed to the night. Become the 'Mystery Lady' of this world and complete the whole world...... And have remained in this world.

"And the Bone Male will use the power of the 'cup' to achieve flesh and blood, freeing himself from the body of the undead that he despises the most."

- This is the way to go.

After abandoning the truth of "bones", the skeleton man no longer has the power of "bones" as the support of his own existence. He had to regain his physical body in order to exist on earth.

And he hated the undead in the first place...... At the beginning, it was only so that the tragedy could not be repeated, and he would transform himself into an undead.

"The white armor...... It is a testament to the paladins of yesteryear. ”

Annan recounted: "That's why the Skeleton Gong wears it all the time. ”

This nightmare, in fact, is structurally identical to the Spore Mill.

"Spider" Grover and "Little Bear" Alice each control half of the special properties of nightmares. Alice tried her best to use the power of the "dream" to keep the purifier away from the "cobwebs", but there was nothing she could do......

And in this nightmare, it is "Elle" who dominates, or rather...... Angelo.

As long as she didn't want to, the nightmare would never come the next day;

In this way, the real skeleton will not return.

But it also means that the nightmare will keep repeating itself throughout the day.

And the part that the Skeleton Office is responsible for...... It is "a quiet life in which all people are dutiful and follow their own way of life".

Just like the kingdom he once ruled on earth, the Principality of Eternal Life.

But that's the difference......

The skeleton man didn't want them to die so easily.

"That's ...... A god who is full of hatred for the human world. Not only betrayed everyone, but also betrayed by the people. ”

Annan whispered: "The 'things that are not forgotten' are only [remembered] by all, and have no meaning...... ”

It's called—

Eternal Male.
