Lord of Mysteries 2: Circle of Inevitability

“When I arrived in Cordu, the crib was long empty. All I know is that the Child of God has already been born in the spirit world. The initial root of all this was indeed the child Madame Pualis ‘lost’.” Madam Magician slowly shook her head.

Lumian recalled and said, “Last year, in Trier, Madame Pualis said that the child had died long ago, killed by her father—the padre—who didn’t know it was his child…

“This time, Madame Pualis said again that the child’s father was ostensibly the padre, but actually someone else. Who could it be?”

Madam Magician pondered for quite a while, then said with a slightly peculiar expression, “Perhaps, at that time, baby Omebella had to die because she didn’t yet have sufficient conditions to truly be born into the real world. Being killed by her father might be an important symbol for her future rebirth and arrival in reality.”

“You have a guess about her real father?” Madam Justice looked at Madam Magician, not hiding her curiosity.

What kind of guess could make Madam Magician’s expression change so obviously and strangely?

Seeing Lumian, Jenna, and others also looking at her, Madam Magician cleared her throat and said, “It’s just a guess, I can’t guarantee it’s correct.”

“Who?” Madam Judgment asked cooperatively.

Madam Magician looked up at the sky and lowered her voice. “Eternal Blazing Sun.”

What? Jenna and Anthony were stunned.

Madam Justice and Madam Judgment were equally surprised.

Eternal Blazing Sun? Lumian looked at Madam Magician with only one thought in mind, How did she make that connection? Is this what it means to be a novelist?

Madam Magician stood up and began to pace as she spoke, “Guillaume Bénet was the padre of the Eternal Blazing Sun Church in Cordu Village, essentially the representative of the Eternal Blazing Sun in this parish. Is there any problem with this statement?”

“No.” Jenna instinctively shook her head.

This was basic theological knowledge.

Madam Magician looked at Lumian.

“You saw Madame Pualis and the padre having an affair in the cathedral at that time, right?”

“Yes.” Lumian nodded slightly.

“Having an affair and conceiving a child in the Eternal Blazing Sun cathedral, near the altar, with the representative of the Eternal Blazing Sun could indeed point to the Eternal Blazing Sun as the child’s father. But the premise is that the Eternal Blazing Sun Himself agreed or acquiesced, which is impossible, right?” Madam Judgment felt this was something a High-Sequence being of the Sun pathway wouldn’t do.

Madam Magician smiled. “The Eternal Blazing Sun certainly didn’t agree or acquiesce at the time, and might not even have known about it. This is also one of the reasons why that baby had to die after being born in Cordu Village—the corresponding symbolism wasn’t established yet.

“But do you remember what happened afterwards? The Eternal Blazing Sun pretended to cooperate with the Great Mother, letting Lady Moon of the Nightstalkers conceive a Child of God.

“Later, the birth and advent of that Child of God helped Red Angel Medici successfully kill Vermonda Sauron and obtain that Conqueror Beyonder characteristic.

“Not long after that Child of God was sacrificed, Madame Pualis—who entered Fourth Epoch Trier disappeared—unaffected by the subsequent cleanup.

“These events, when viewed separately, don’t seem problematic. But when connected, they point to something.”

Madam Justice nodded thoughtfully.

“The Eternal Blazing Sun used the Great Mother to make Red Angel Medici’s plot succeed, but was also used by the Great Mother?”

Madam Magician sighed and said, “What the Great Mother wanted from the beginning wasn’t the baby in Lady Moon’s womb, but the act of the Eternal Blazing Sun making Lady Moon conceive a Child of God—this symbolism.

“Once that Child of God died, the long-deceased baby Omebella, who had the basic symbolism, inherited this relationship, gained new life, and helped Madame Pualis escape the subsequent cleanup.

“It wasn’t until then that baby Omebella was truly born, but she wasn’t complete enough yet and needed to find a medium to descend into reality. After that, whether it was Father Montserrat or that bird egg in the depths of the Underworld, they were probably preparing for this.”

“Now, I’m the best medium?” Lumian suddenly understood why Madame Pualis wanted him to come over, saying the child needed him.

Jenna listened in a daze, taking quite a while to sort out the relationships.
