Lord of Mysteries 2: Circle of Inevitability

Chapter 889 Intelligence on the Demoness Sect

Faced with Lumian’s question, Madam Magician pondered for a few seconds before saying, “Whether it’s investigating the state of the Primordial Demoness, exploring the secrets of the deepest layer of the special mirror world, uncovering the essence of the mirror self, or mastering the secret of resurrection and rebirth of the Demoness of Unaging, it’s impossible to bypass the Demoness Sect.

“These are equally important for you now.

“So, my opinion is to let the Two of Cups continue to contact the Demoness of Black, while you lurk in the shadows to prevent accidents.

“The Demoness Sect has probably already suspected the Two of Cups’ background and intentions, but I’m not sure what countermeasures they will take. If they want to use the Two of Cups to do some things and achieve certain goals, we can take advantage of such arrangements to peek into the secrets of the Demoness Sect and the special mirror world, and incidentally obtain subsequent resources for the Demoness pathway. If they prepare to eliminate hidden dangers and wipe out the Two of Cups, you, lurking in the shadows, must immediately act and quickly rescue the Two of Cups. The mission with the Demoness Sect shall then end there.

“This is indeed already a fairly high-risk matter. Both the Two of Cups and you have the right to refuse.”

Lumian listened attentively and then smiled and said, “I think the Demoness Sect won’t do anything to Franca for the time being. It’s more likely they’ll use her. Otherwise, in the underground mausoleum of Morora, Julie in her divine descent state wouldn’t have thrown me out of the special mirror world. And after I achieved my goal, obtained the Black Tear, and returned from Morora, the Demoness of Black wouldn’t have been so easily patronized by Franca.”

Madam Magician nodded almost imperceptibly.

“If this isn’t that individual’s arrangement, it means the Primordial Demoness also hopes for a Beyonder who harbors hope for Tudor’s resurrection and is closer to the top powers of the two Calamity pathways than Her to grow up according to the method currently considered closest to the correct answer, in order to achieve a goal that is very important and crucial to Her.”

Lumian twisted his mouth and said in a self-mocking tone, “One of the ways to counter a true god’s arrangement is to place oneself in the plans of another or several true gods, whether those plans are good or bad.”

“The principle is the same as balancing the corruption on oneself.” Madam Magician shook her head and smiled. “But you should remember that before Mr. Fool awakens, no true god can compete with that individual in arranging this matter, even if several Sequence 0 true gods unite. Of course, this can indeed interfere with and influence that individual’s arrangements, giving you a chance to detect anomalies in a timely manner or in advance.”

Lumian nodded solemnly. “Whether Franca continues the Demoness Sect mission or not, I will follow up on these matters. Madam, can you give me more intelligence about the Demoness Sect? The Demoness of Black only reveals very little to Franca each time.”

Madam Magician said in an appreciative tone, “You now indeed have the ability and mindset to independently handle one aspect of affairs. If Mr. Fool wakes up, you are completely qualified to draw a Major Arcana card.

“From now on, matters concerning the Demoness Sect will be consolidated under you. If you need assistance or want to mobilize resources from other Major Arcana card holders, you can find me or Judgment at any time.

“Well, because the Demoness of Unaging can be resurrected, can be reborn, is difficult to kill completely, and stays forever young without aging, she can live for many, many years, even longer than the lifespan of Angels from many pathways. So, if we don’t count Sequence 4 Demonesses of Despair, and only consider the accumulated number of currently living Sequence 3 and Sequence 2 Beyonders, the Demoness Sect has more than any orthodox god church.

“In this regard, only Sanguine, whose lives are equally long, can compare with them, but still fall short.
