Chapter 448: Roselle: I Don't Want to Have Children!
"The master of chaos and order."
"Origin of all rules in the starry sky."
"Guiding the reset of everything."
"THE RETURN OF THE STARS!"
The Star Vessel, with a divine expression, recited the revered titles of the stars.
Compared to the previous tripartite titles, the current reverent title of the stars had an added description: "Guiding the reset of everything."
This was a new change in the Hall of Stars when Hastur advanced to Sequence 4, LOST ONES .
Reset aligns well with the description of Star Authority; this is also the origin of his time reset symbol's name.
Currently, he could only trigger the authority of reset through the time reset spell.
In the future, he would need to catch Amon's avatar again and use the Time Worm within it to create more time reset spells.
After briefly regaining control of his body, Roselle was initially resistant to reciting such unfamiliar divine titles, unsure of what terrible changes would occur.
However, the suppressed consciousness of the Fallen Mother Goddess was gradually resurfacing, making him acutely aware that his time to maintain sanity was limited.
Since the other party could contact Bernadette and gain her trust, he had no choice but to take a gamble!
Standing before the throne of the Black Emperor, he gazed up at the starry sky and earnestly prayed in Ancient Hermetic: "The master of chaos and order."
"Origin of all rules in the starry sky."
"Guiding the reset of everything."
"THE RETURN OF THE STARS!"
"I wish to shed the corruption from the Fallen Mother Goddess through your great power and restore myself to a clear, clean state."
Roselle recited his prayer. The Fallen Mother Goddess within him sensed danger and began a frantic counterattack.
"Ah..." Roselle moaned in pain, bending over with his hands pressed tightly against the Black Emperor's throne, barely preventing himself from collapsing to the floor.
He felt as if he was about to be torn in half; just looking down briefly, he could clearly see that the cracks on his body were widening, and a scarlet moon was forming within him, threatening to emerge from his abdomen.
At that moment, a time reset talisman was again placed on him by the Star Vessel, helping him briefly resist the corruption from the Fallen Mother Goddess.
Meanwhile, the starry sky above the Black Emperor's tomb grew increasingly dazzling as stars lit up consecutively like rising suns.
The light of the stars illuminated Roselle's body; this was a blessing from the stars and a form of purification.
"Fallen Mother Goddess, I do not want to have children for you!" Roselle shouted as his once-cracking body began to heal gradually, wanting to lock away that scarlet moon within him completely.
But at that moment, the Fallen Mother Goddess revealed a terrifying presence; the top of the Black Emperor's mausoleum exploded completely, shards flying amidst a torrent of blood-like light from the scarlet moon.
The previously obscured sky was now only filled with the light of the scarlet moon, while the stars' power remained shielded outside.
This indicated that tonight's struggle for the scarlet moon was heavily tilted in favor of the Fallen Mother Goddess among the Earth Mother Goddess, Mother Tree of Desire , and Fallen Mother Goddess.
The scarlet moon in the sky was providing horrific authority to the Fallen Mother Goddess.
Roselle's limbs were entwined by blood-red tendrils, hoisted into the air; this scene resembled a sweet offering to the scarlet moon.
"Primordial Hunger , have you watched enough?" The Star Vessel reminded him. The Primordial Hunger smiled awkwardly, reached for its belly, opened its mouth wide, and suddenly drew in a force from the scarlet moon descending upon Roselle. This prevented the scarlet moon from providing power for that soon-to-be-born little scarlet moon within Roselle.
The light of the stars flashed again; Roselle, who was about to lose consciousness, briefly regained clarity and cursed: "So this is how terrifying it is to have a child."
His consciousness existed only for a moment before being replaced again by the consciousness of the Fallen Mother Goddess.
The little scarlet moon within Roselle protruded a bloodied face—a manifestation of the Fallen Mother Goddess.
"Primordial Hunger , Stars... Stars!"
The Fallen Mother Goddess intended to greet it but suddenly sensed something amiss and quickly withdrew her face.
In the Hall of Stars, when Roselle—the Black Emperor—prayed to the stars, the power born was similar to that which Greigary had drawn when she prayed in the Hall of Stars.
However, Hastur did not apply this power entirely to Roselle; instead, he found another way. He directly sought out the light point representing Mr. Door and attempted to separate Mr. Door from the Fallen Mother Goddess.
He had long wanted to try this move but lacked strength until now when utilizing Roselle's prayer and awakening Hall of Stars' power; he used fate as a blade to forcibly sever any connection between Mr. Door and the Fallen Mother Goddess.
Weakened Fallen Mother Goddess' powers using Solar authority and purifying corruption while allowing Mr. Door's consciousness to awaken again.
Then seizing Night authority to snatch control over the scarlet moon back from the Fallen Mother Goddess.
At the same time, he invoked Hall of Stars's resetting authority to project power from Mother Tree of Desire , Supernova Dominator, High-dimensional Overseer, Chaos Child, Primordial Hunger into where the Fallen Mother Goddess resided.
Using their powers severely weakened the Fallen Mother Goddess' influence over reality.
Unfortunately, his own strength was too low; relying solely on Hall of Stars' self-awakening severely restricted what could be accomplished with resetting authority.
Otherwise, in that moment just now, he could have easily drawn Mother Tree of Desire and Supernova Dominator as well as other Outer Gods' original bodies into the Fallen Mother Goddess' star sky—and that would have been real bullying.
However, at this point in time, it should still be lively within where the Fallen Mother Goddess resides?
...
In the initial barrier crack, the everNight Goddess stood within the lush divine kingdom of the Earth Mother Goddess, gazing at the scarlet moon.
Tonight, as the Fallen Mother Goddess attempted to seize the authority symbolized by the scarlet moon, the Earth Mother Goddess and Mother Tree of Desire , who held the moon's uniqueness, naturally resisted. Amidst their chaotic battle, the suddenly empowered Fallen Mother Goddess gained an overwhelming advantage.
The Earth Mother Goddess was nearly corrupted and polluted, but timely intervention saved her from a dire situation.
However, the Earth Mother Goddess's condition remained poor. The Fallen Mother Goddess's control over the scarlet moon was essentially devouring her authority.
If not for the presence of the Mother Tree of Desire , the Earth Mother Goddess alone could not contend with tonight's Fallen Mother Goddess.
Now, the situation seemed to be changing.
The Fallen Mother Goddess's power was waning, her control over the scarlet moon faltering, and the Mother Tree of Desire began a frenzied counterattack. The Fallen Mother Goddess was gradually losing her grip on the moon's authority.
Most notably, from the dark, corrupted, deathly starry sky, various terrifying auras emanated.
That area, once the domain of the Fallen Mother Goddess, now hosted several uninvited guests.
Familiar presences included the Mother Tree of Desire , Supernova Dominator, and Primordial Hunger , while two other auras remained obscure and elusive.
Surprisingly, they were all attacking the Fallen Mother Goddess.
Although Outer Gods often clashed, most avoided escalating conflicts too far, reserving their strength for the final apocalyptic battle. Daily skirmishes were mere distractions.
But tonight was different.
First, the stars shone brightly, followed by unusual disturbances in the starry sky.
In an instant, distant Outer Gods converged on the Fallen Mother Goddess's domain and began their assault...
"What a spectacle."
The voluptuous and graceful Earth Mother Goddess Lilith walked on blooming wheat, accompanied by herbs, flowers, and springs, holding a dark brown staff.
"Not resting?"
"One night won't make a difference." Lilith joined the everNight Goddess, gazing at the chaotic, dark starry sky with a complex expression. "Are the stars and the Fallen Mother Goddess mortal enemies?"
From her perception, tonight's events were all triggered by the conflict between the Fallen Mother Goddess and the stars.
They had clashed before.
The entire starry sky was divided into two factions due to their enmity.
Currently, the stars seemed to have more allies.
However, the stars were too mysterious, appearing weaker in direct confrontations with the Fallen Mother Goddess.
This was only the visible trend; perhaps the stars were merely hiding their true strength, or their condition was indeed dire.
"For us, this is a good thing." The everNight Goddess calmly said, "You should fully integrate the moon's uniqueness soon, or your situation will worsen."
"And you? Still not planning to integrate the War God pathway's uniqueness?"
"Not yet."
"Are you worried about the stars' stance?"
"No, the war hasn't truly begun."
After a brief chat, the everNight Goddess and Earth Mother Goddess focused on the distant starry sky where the conflict raged.
Besides them, the remaining four true gods at the initial barrier crack also watched curiously.
Tonight revealed many secrets: the enmity between the Fallen Mother Goddess and the stars, the formation of two Outer God factions.
This starry sky situation would inevitably impact the future apocalyptic battle.
It would also influence their attitudes toward the stars.
The God of Steam and Machinery stood quietly in his divine kingdom, feeling uneasy.
He had always been concerned about Roselle's situation. He was aware of the discovery of Roselle's last tomb at sea and had paid attention.
But upon sensing the stars' presence, he withdrew his gaze, recalling their past enmity.
Seeing the stars and the Fallen Mother Goddess in opposition tonight,
he wondered if he had made another wrong choice.
"Does anyone remember which chapter I listed the pathways of the stars?"
