In the early morning, Vigrid, across the sea from Naples, was wrapped in mist on the sea, with only the towering spiers breaking through the mist.
The spire emits a dazzling white light under the clear sky. This spire is the headquarters of the Izavel Group and a beacon of Vigrid. It is like the teachings of the Ragnar Order, constantly moving towards The world is filled with light.
This thing that scatters light is not an ordinary giant light bulb as the world thinks, but a glowing white sphere connected to the top of the spire by a golden metal tie. There are two floating circles around this sphere, one large and one small. ring. This is magic, not technology.
The huge room on the top floor of the spire is surrounded by a ring of seats. If the place is full of people, no matter where they sit, the audience's eyes will focus on the same place. There are also red banners hanging on columns next to these seats. These banners hang to the ground and are covered with dense golden scriptures.
If it weren't for the large gold-red desk in the middle of the room, this place would be more like a chapel than an office. There are no electric lights here, but it is filled with warm light, and there is also a little light coming from several huge rings behind the golden-red desk.
These luminous rings are nested layer by layer. The outermost ring is dark and engraved with luminous runes. The closer to the ring in the center, the brighter the light. In the center is a huge golden disk. There is no pattern on it. Every second, the rings rotate accordingly, but without making any frictional sound.
But these glimmers of light are not enough to illuminate the office.
"After 500 years of waiting, this moment is finally coming." A hoarse and calm voice sounded from behind the desk. The owner of this voice was the president of Izavel's group who appeared on TV before. Badr, his attire is no different from before, and his face is no longer young. But he still wore half of the golden mask, and kept touching the white peacock on his shoulder, because the peacock was alive. He said, "The child will eventually come here."
"Are we going to repeat the mistakes of 500 years ago? Or..." A woman with short white hair wearing a tight-fitting red leather coat stood in front of the desk. She was extremely tall, with a black fluffy scarf and bow tie at the collar of the red leather coat. There is a golden clock on it. Her high heels have the same thick heels as Bayonetta, and she has a black pistol attached to the back of the heels. It's just that her leg clothing is much looser, opening a slit like a cheongsam, revealing her fair skin and slender legs.
"There is only one way forward for that child. Why I know it is because I know the law of the three realms and have seen through everything. Our next actions are good deeds to shape the best world." Badr faced left, and the woman only You could see his mask, and he didn't stop stroking him when he answered the question. Badr's tone was slow, and he was extremely confident when he said these words, because he was convinced that everything was going according to his plan.
"As the 'right eye', you gave up order and chose chaos." The woman in red's voice rose slightly at the end of the sentence, her tone was frivolous, as if everything had nothing to do with her and she didn't care at all.
"You are wrong, now is chaos." Badr said, "My daughter must join hands with me to become the eye of the world. If the three realms are not integrated into one, there will be no real order and real salvation."
"Exactly crazy logic." The woman in red said disdainfully.
"You don't need to understand, and it's a pity that you can't leave me yet." Balder said, "Angels all serve me. Joan of Arc, you too."
As soon as she heard the name, the woman in red turned around, and her earring, a triangular piece of golden metal, was shaking gently. Jeanne took a breath and snorted disdainfully, but did not show any more emotions towards Badr's words.
"I have been waiting for 500 years. Are you looking forward to meeting that child again?" Badr said, "But don't forget, everything we do is to prepare for the arrival of the Lord God, the Creator (Jubilus). The time to come and create a new world is near.”
He looked up, and that was the real location of the light source - it was a piece of golden-red energy that was constantly surging. This energy was in a strange space, and behind it, there were thick clouds mixed with orange and crimson. Move slowly. Through these rays of light, one can see that this ball of energy is wrapped around a vaguely huge humanoid object, with countless white feathers slowly falling around it.
——————————————
Salomon returned to Karma Taj for the time being, and he must report the entire incident to the Supreme Mage. Before leaving, he also specifically asked Bayonetta to stop hunting angels recently to avoid falling into the sage's trap. One angel is enough for her demon to stay calm for a while.
But the witch only agreed very perfunctorily, seemingly not caring, which made Salomon a little worried.
When he informed the Supreme Master of the entire incident, the Supreme Master did not show any surprise. Salomon could not rule out that it was because His Holiness had become accustomed to this kind of thing, because in this universe, there was always a crisis that could destroy the earth, and the awakening of a "god" was indeed not too bizarre.
"I've seen it, with the Eye of Agamotto." The Lord said, "Including the mistletoe in your dimensional bag."
Well, Salomon admitted that he was overthinking it. But... "Mistletoe?" he asked, "but that's lipstick."
"The mistletoe is just a metaphor. In Nordic mythology, it was the mistletoe that killed Baldur. It was weak and inconspicuous." The Venerable said calmly, "And that lipstick will also be the one who killed Baldur." The mistletoe of Baldur the Sage of Lumen. Perhaps because of the same name and the same situation arranged by fate, the lipstick was given to Bayonetta by Baldur's lover Rosa and is the key to rescuing the Sage Baldur. "
"Rosa?"
"Yes, Bayonetta is the daughter of Baldur and Rosa. Rosa is the owner of the 'left eye' of the previous generation, and Baldur is the holder of the 'right eye'. It is precisely because of the taboo between them The union and the birth of Bayonetta will lead to the war between the witch clan and the sage clan." The venerable took a book and placed it in front of Salomon, "It was the sage clan that started in 1480. , promoted the Christian witch hunting. Because the witch clan had already won the war at that time, the sage clan took advantage of their excessive consumption to incite ordinary people's fear of witches, which led to the decline of the witch clan's population. This blind Witch hunting swept Europe for more than three hundred years, even continuing to the Salem Witch Cases.”
"So, Bayonetta is a... Nephalem?"
"Genesis Chapter 6, Verse 4: At that time, there were great men on the earth. Later, the sons of God had intercourse with the women of men and had children. They were the heroic and famous people in ancient times. There is also a record in the Book of Enoch, Information about the illegitimate sons of angels and the giants. They were imprisoned in the fifth level of the seven and three levels of heaven. The most famous giant in the world is probably Goliath, who was killed by King David. The great flood was to eliminate The impact of the AWOL angels on the earth is also to erase all traces of angels and their illegitimate children. These existences can be called Nephalem, and the "Book of Angel Rachel" must have recorded these, you I must have read it." His Holiness tapped Salomon on the head with a folding fan, and she said, "I've said it several times, don't use game terms to refer to occult terms!"
Salomon still raised some curiosity and asked, "It is said that Enoch was taken to heaven for a tour. Teacher, did you see Enoch when you went to heaven to sign the contract?"
The Supreme Mage replied, "The one who signed the contract with me was not God, but Metatron, or Metatron. Perhaps that was the prophet Enoch, but no one can be sure, because I have never entered heaven and have never seen it. God. The situation in heaven at that time was extremely abnormal. If heaven had not closed its doors and refused to accept guests and ignored foreign affairs, I would not have signed the contract so easily."
"Abnormal?"
"I suspect... God is no longer in heaven."
Just when Salomon wanted to continue asking, the Supreme Mage interrupted him. His Holiness said, "This is not something you should know. These questions are left for you to explore in the future. It is better for you to focus on the problems at hand now, not on heaven."
"I'm not that impulsive." Salomon stuck out his tongue, but still obediently focused on the Lumen Sage Balder and the "Creator Jubilus" who was about to revive.
"What should we do if that god really wakes up? But we can't always use the time stone to cycle." He asked, "Teacher, you have told me about the dangers of manipulating the time flow. Manipulate that guy If your time flows, I'm worried that you will pay a heavy price. Dormammu's side..."
"Then you go and stop this." His Holiness was very happy that Salomon could think of her, so he took out a bottle of soda from Salomon's refrigerator to "reward" him. The Venerable said, "Your goal is to let Bayonetta kill Baldur with this lipstick. And what you need to do is to help her escape the trap of Lumen Sage Baldur and don't let her die on the road. As long as she can reach the final battle, she can kill Baldur. By then, the history of the witch and sage clan will be completely annihilated, and there will no longer be anyone in the world who can summon extradimensional creatures on a large scale."
"Teacher, do you mean... Bayonetta will die?" Salomon asked cautiously. He said that although Bayonetta was very keen on teasing him and seeing how he was at a loss, Salomon still liked this witch. He said, "But there will still be angels on earth...Teacher, do you think it is..."
"It's all up to you, Salomon." The Lord said, "The life and death of Bayonetta and Baldur all depend on you, not me. Only your decision can affect their life and death. Once you make a decision, you must Bear the consequences."
"as a result of……"
"Otherwise, who else do you think can monitor Bayonetta? The guy who went there before came back with a bruised face and a bruised face, but you are the only one who didn't." The Supreme Mage said while suppressing a smile, "You are the only one who can keep an eye on her. "
"Okay..." Salomon couldn't help but cast his eyes aside. This was so embarrassing, his little thoughts were seen through.
"You'd better answer the phone."
"Telephone?"
Sure enough, Salomon's cell phone rang. When he looked at the screen, the contact person was Bayonetta. Salomon answered awkwardly, but before he could speak, a childish little girl's voice came through.
"Mommy!"
"Um?!!!"
