"What……"
…
The other side of the mirror on Star Lake.
In the colorless space, Dorothy was floating above the Mirror Lake as usual, relying on the huge lake surface to peek into the scenes of the real world. At this moment, her eyes were focused on the church in the center of the lake and on the statue that was so similar to herself.
"Finally completed, my replacement ritual..."
Gazing at the present world above the lake, Dorothy murmured that the magnificent church she could see at this moment was originally the church of the Mirror Moon Goddess, but the god worshipped there had changed.
The god it was worshipping at this time was Akasha, the leader, and Dorothy herself! Dorothy had successfully performed the replacement ceremony, turning the domain that originally belonged to the Mirror Moon Goddess into her own temple!
This ceremony had just been completed. It was the ceremony that was ostensibly a rehearsal, but in reality it was a ceremony planned by Gsmore and dedicated to the Spider Queen. However, in the end, it was not the Spider Queen who received the temple, but Dorothy herself.
The replacement ceremony has two key elements. One is the replacement of the main symbol in the temple, and the other is the spell chanted by the main priest. The conspiracy of the Eight-pointed Nest is to use Gosmoir, the witch of the Spider Queen, as a symbol. The spell praising the Spider Queen was first translated into an ancient language that ordinary people could not understand, and then used the name of defense against poison to trick Vanya, the main priest, into chanting it.
The symbol of Akasha, or the statue of Akasha, although it does not seem to exist in the temple, in fact it has been at the ceremony site from the beginning. It is the statue of the Mirror Moon Goddess, the original statue of this church!
Due to some reasons that even Dorothy herself did not understand, the appearance of this Mirror Moon God statue was extremely similar to Dorothy's own appearance. The essence of the god Akasha was the system, and the system had no image. Dorothy was the manipulator of the system, so the image of the god Akasha was also the image of Dorothy.
Generally, there are two kinds of symbols of gods, one is the abstract talisman and the other is the concrete statue. If the god Akasha has a statue, then Dorothy's own image will be used as the standard. Dorothy is very similar to the Goddess Mirror Moon, so after some minor changes, the Mirror Moon statue can be directly used as the statue of Akasha.
Dorothy's change to the Mirror Moon statue was when the church was still in the hidden space. Dorothy painted a "Qi" symbol on a hidden part of the statue to distinguish it from the original statue. This was because Dorothy and Mirror Moon's faces were too similar, so she could only do this. If Bajian wanted to change the statue, he would need to replace the entire head of the statue, just like they had done in other Mirror Moon ruins before.
It was not enough to just change the statue and create a symbol for herself. If Dorothy wanted to successfully enter the replacement ceremony, she also needed to solve the problem of the spell. The spell of the replacement ceremony had a set of writing guidelines. Any belief could refer to this guideline to write its own spell. Dorothy had written the spell for herself a long time ago, but the problem was how to chant it in the ceremony.
The spells in the ceremony must be chanted by the master of the ceremony. Dorothy can easily make Vanya recite what she wants her to recite, but in order to prevent Gusmore from noticing anything unusual, Vanya must recite the Spider Queen spell she taught her throughout the whole process without any mistakes. Gusmore is listening in front of her, so it is quite difficult to tamper with the spell.
Faced with this situation, Dorothy thought hard for a while before she found a solution. The inspiration for the solution came from the sacrificial dance inherited from Adele's teacher. In the tradition of dancers in the belief of the goddess of abundance, dance is a spell and movement is language. In their own sacrificial activities, they convert spells into movements and present them in the form of dance. After thinking about the characteristics of sacrificial dance, Dorothy thought of expressing her own spell in a form other than language.
The form Dorothy chose was a beat, a rhythm with a hidden pattern. Simply put, Dorothy translated her spell into a series of beats with specific meanings, similar to telegraph codes, and then asked Vanya to play out these beats in different ways when chanting the Spider Queen's spell during the ceremony, such as blinking, stomping, touching hands, adjusting the speed of the word order, etc.
During this process, Dorothy also asked Vanya to make full use of the pagan knowledge she had acquired before, and the various techniques of the Amakusa Cross Cult to hide her beat movements. Under the professional faith camouflage skills of the Amakusa Cross Cult, Vanya's secret movements were completely hidden, and Gsmore did not discover any abnormalities.
The god of "Revelation" is the god of knowledge and wisdom, logic and mystery, mathematics and scale. The former god of "Revelation", the Judge of Heaven, worshipped mathematics, and his rituals and sacrifices were integrated with profound mathematical puzzles. Akasha is also the god of "Revelation". Dorothy added her own spells with numbers and rhythms, which she thought was very reasonable and acceptable.
In the exchange ceremony just now, Dorothy and the Spider Queen both had the two conditions of spells and symbols. In the end, Dorothy successfully took over the church. The key to this was Vanya's attention. Although Gosmore had repeatedly reminded Vanya to focus on her as the symbol of the Spider Queen during the ceremony, in fact, during the entire ceremony, although Vanya's eyes were always looking at Gosmore, her focus was not on her, but on the huge statue of the Mirror Moon behind her.
With the rituals and symbols complete, the main priest's attention will be the key to success in the end. Obviously, Vanya has always worshipped the Mirror Moon statue as a key part of the ritual.
Bajian placed the Spider Queen's replacement ritual within the Virgin Mary's consecration ritual, thinking that he could quietly complete the ritual of the alien god without the main priest knowing. This time, Dorothy placed her own replacement ritual within Bajian's ritual, completing her own ritual without Bajian knowing.
The ceremony just experienced in the chapel was ostensibly dedicated to the Virgin Mary, but secretly prepared for the Spider Queen, and in fact belonged to Dorothy.
"Well, now that the replacement ceremony has been completed, the first of the three ceremonies has been successful. Next are the other two, the Divine Blessing Creation Ceremony... and the Truth Mentor Promotion Ceremony."
Dorothy went on to murmur that she did not intend to perform the three rituals separately, but planned to complete them all at once tonight. The first replacement ritual could be completed secretly by using tricks, but the second and third ones might not be so easy. After the Eight Tips discovered that something was wrong, they might do something radical.
At this time, the key resource Dorothy needed for the remaining rituals was time. She had to buy enough time for herself under the influence of the possible instability of the Eight Peaks. Fortunately, Dorothy was well prepared for this and she found a bodyguard for herself.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Principal."
Dorothy continued speaking, and then she looked to the side. On the surface of Mirror Lake, there was a figure standing there. He was a man wearing a gray windbreaker and a gray top hat. Under the top hat was an old man's face that Dorothy was familiar with. It was Aldridge, the principal of her high school in Eaglewind.
