The bad ending of an Otome game MTL - Chapter (228)
Episode 228
Where will the ritually ‘sacrificial’ sacrifices go?
Sometimes it remains as black powder or crystals on the altar, but sometimes it crumbles and disappears. It becomes a viscous liquid and seeps into the floor as it is. One day, two days… … .
the lower level of the altar. where there is not even a door. A place where even unbelievers try to forget their existence because they are afraid.
Strictly speaking, the altar was a channel for offering ‘sacrifices’ to ‘god’. If the ‘reward’ of the sacrifice is left as a catalyst or crystal, where does the remaining residue go?
Alogia, who had accidentally entered the basement as a child, was tired of her instinctive fear and realized it. what he whispered to Jesse.
‘There is a monster that eats people.’
It was also a reference to the altar of receiving living sacrifices, but it also meant the ‘more frightening’ hidden beneath it.
Perhaps because Aloisia was the last. Coincidentally, when Elodie and Ophelia were born, they must have been able to feel it because they were born under the same influence.
Those things may have had an effect on how other people looked down on them for being timid, startled and trembling at even the smallest things, and couldn’t even speak properly.
If the ritual fails, the world will perish.
In what way?
The goddess’s name was erased. The goddess was furious, and before she died, she sought revenge by gathering her last strength.
Ophelia, the goddess’ ‘correct’ vessel.
Eloda, the goddess’ ‘imperfect’ vessel.
Where do the kernels to be placed in the bowl come from?
In the first place, if a goddess full of will to take revenge by destroying the whole world comes down to her vessel after eating the lives she has sacrificed for countless years.
Could it be that I could call that person a goddess any longer?
Is the grain of Chao in the bowl really the soul of a goddess?
The catalysts used to use magic or when unbelievers contaminate and manipulate people voluntarily had a black and unpleasant odor, as if clotted blood.
When a sacrifice is made, the goddess will surely pay the price.
The sacrifice was a living thing, especially a woman’s life and body.
In other words…… Except for some special effects, isn’t that just an excuse for a goddess to consume human life?
What if it’s a great price and what you leave behind is actually just the dregs that the goddess spit out after digesting it to gain strength?
A being who no longer protects humans, forgets even his name, is driven by hatred without even knowing his existence, can no longer be called a god.
Then, what did the beings who were no longer gods after receiving that living life did?
Maybe it’s building strength. This time, full of will to swallow the world. The power to descend on the earth and destroy everything.
All non-believers are afraid of Goddess. Therefore, rather than himself, he does his best to escape the wrath of the goddess.
Even if the world is destroyed, there is no doubt that only they will be okay.
However, if the goddess had already fallen to the point where even my admirers would not care, if I only thought of it as an existence to be used and thrown away for my revenge.
All that the unbelievers have done is just like feeding the animals that will eat them and making them fat.
The old woman did not admit all of those facts. Even if you were guessing, you may have chosen to close your eyes in front of the too great truth.
He said that everything he, his ancestors, and the people he had worked with had no meaning at all, risking their lives for generations to come.
And even if you knew all the truth, what would you have done?
Consciousness is, after all, a trap.
Success or failure, in any case, the goddess gains strength in the end. If Edmund’s method succeeds, the ritual of ‘Ophelia’ may suppress the goddess for a moment, but that method has its limits.
And even if not, it ends when Elodie dies. When the goddess swallows up the last bowl left on the earth, there is no need to wait any longer.
“We are waiting for the true goddess. Edmund Gloucester is obsessed with the dead Ophelia Windrose.”
“Yes. If it’s to awaken that ‘true goddess’, wouldn’t it be okay to pre-work it? It will all be open at the end of the ceremony anyway.”
The old woman kept her mouth shut for a moment. He was concerned about the woman who had sent him down to look at Edmund’s movements, but more mysterious was the person sitting in front of the old woman.
“Do you know how your master will see it and react? No, more than that, don’t you even think that your master will perform the ceremony properly? Then it would get in the way.”
“I cherish my master as if it were my own.”
It was a funny thing to say. Does an unbeliever really care and love the king’s illegitimate child? Did you come to help with all kinds of evil deeds, even at this moment, to help with rituals that would be astonishing to ordinary people?
“So I want him to acknowledge his limitations.”
“Limit?”
“When the woman you love may not give you back as much as you love, or in extreme situations, you realize what you need to do and want to do for what you truly want. It would have been great if Lady Emilia truly cared for and loved my master. I have the same special feelings for Lady Ophelia, so it must have been a good companion.”
The old woman was silent for a moment, like a loyal servant who truly wanted a good hostess to enter the mansion.
She used the queen. I saw it as a means of hiding in the royal palace and fulfilling my secret intentions. The other comrades who would be playing a tug-of-war with the Archduke were also very similar.
In the first place, it was the royal family that made their ‘goddesses’ that way. Could it be any good?
I just do it because I know it’s better to hide and use my identity in this way than to just spread hate and try to kill everyone.
Ironically, from generation to generation, the queen performed a ‘ceremonial’ to secretly obtain a child, and whenever the damage spread to the whole country, the royal family sent out the Knights of Glamis to subdue the unbelievers.
It seems like they are trying to drive all the misfortunes to be because of the unbelievers.
In terms of crime, it would be similar in terms of the royal family who caused and neglected natural disasters in an intact country, the unbelievers who took advantage of other people’s lives, and the view of taking other people’s lives in vain.
I didn’t understand the butler’s way of thinking. In the first place, the king would have noticed that he was an unbeliever, so if Edmund had an accident or annoyed him, he would have thought to some extent as an excuse to get rid of him.
How can you act in this way, calmly referring to Edmund Gloucester as ‘Master’ without being unaware of such a situation?
“So you yourself…… Are you going to open it?”
“My master will truly realize my true intentions in the midst of an extreme crisis. Emotionally, you are a little late in learning.”
“I thought I’ve been through different things in my life and meeting different kinds of people, but out of all of them, you are the best.”
The old woman muttered in a tired voice.
The standard way to use the altar is to raise the blood, life and body of the sacrifice.
However, when trying to descend the goddess itself in this way, it is ultimately the crystallization of the rituals they have been offering… … .
The ‘something’ that is sinking under the altar will have to wake up.
In the meantime, the sacrifices that had been made were not the vessels of the goddess, so they only stored power and had no other meaning.
However, if the offering is a vessel of a goddess, its existence will be activated in some way. And as long as it is a human being, the self of the sacrifice (Elodie in this case) will disappear completely.
Edmund Gloucester, I have no doubts that Ophelia will come down hopelessly in that vacant place… … .
The butler didn’t necessarily want the result.
“What if your master is in danger?”
“Because you didn’t come here because you wanted to live a peaceful life in the first place.”
The butler spoke with a calm face.
“Your Majesty’s Majesty said that you can never hand over the sick things until things are certain. He asked me to let the broken pieces be used as weapons, so I made them.”
Despite the old woman’s warning words, the butler was not even agitated.
“Actually, I agree with you.”
“…… What?”
“The doubt that Emilia Klee is the one who has the right conditions for a sacrifice.”
It is the opponent that Edmund protected by making a riot that he could not sacrifice somehow. So I sent someone to get Casio’s story out and convince him… … .
The old woman, who had doubts about the butler’s words, stopped.
“My master was very good at self-taught, learning theology and magic. You have a nice library. He made some spelling mistakes as a kid, but now he’s just as good an expert as I am.”
“…… you…… !”
“I think Emilia Klee’s biological parents will also be great catalysts, even if the quality is poor.”
rumble.
At that moment, a strange noise was heard. The edge of the chair trembled. A heavy vibrating sound as if the entire room was resonating.
The old woman’s face turned white when she realized what the vibration meant.
That butler, after he had already finished all the actions, came to visit the old woman alone. Even if the old woman knew the truth, there was nothing she could do about it.
Expecting that Edmund Gloucester’s ‘consciousness’ would change, he had already infiltrated the basement where nobody cared and woke up the ‘being’ below.
To make the old woman no longer able to ignore the situation docilely cooperate with the butler.
To rectify a situation that has already occurred. Just to bring back the pieces of sickness that he handed over to the queen, or to make the rest of the pieces he stole away.
Putting down the cold teacup, the butler gave a polite and polite smile.
“Why are you like that? Wasn’t it something you’ve been waiting for all your life? You will see the essence right before your eyes, so it doesn’t matter how it ends, right?”
It was a smile as calm as a clown in front of an impromptu play that would end in ruin.
