Lord of Mysterious Wizard-Chapter 1014 - 842: Gratitude from the Great Polymath and Mother Goddess (Part 2)
After Rose Madeline ascended to become a "Great Polymath," she leaped to become an extraordinarily powerful Transcendent.
Her combat style involves the magical application of Knowledge.
Even Tang Qi at this moment cannot fully comprehend the "mysteries" within, nor can he use such power.
But it doesn't stop him from easing his mind, as Rose suggested, and proceeding to the next destination.
Before leaving, he heard Rose's voice, filled with killing intent and a hint of regret:
"Origin Star does not welcome invaders from the Exotic Realm... especially the great species, the Vitsdon people... the time they have to stay, both in form and will, ends the next second."
...
Against the Bright Blood Road, deep within the dark and terrifying Dark Dimension, a divine tentacle monster violently intruded.
At the moment, an eerie encirclement and slaughter were taking place inside, with numerous monsters attempting to kill or devour a female Bright Knight and the baby she cradled.
But their efforts were destined to be in vain, as gentle Holy Light kept flowing from Stanna's body, forming a circle that isolated all the Monsters.
That Holy Light gave Tang Qi a sense of tenacity, warmth, and embracing everything, filled with a maternal aura.
When Tang Qi entered the Dark Dimension, the Monsters, starving to desperation, all targeted him.
After all, it was an incredibly massive dimensional universe, with terrifying eyeballs of Darkness mixed with numerous divine creatures climbing towards the Divine-mimicking Monsters.
Unfortunately for them, they faced Tang Qi.
Even though Tang Qi was somewhat weakened at this moment, these Monsters were no match for him. Those divine tentacles lashed out amid phosphorescence, and the darkness resounded with wails as all Monsters were driven away.
Tang Qi stood before the Holy Light, reaching out his hand without hesitation.
He made a decision: If the power of the "Mother of Light" blocked him, he would use forceful dismantling to bring Stanna away from the Dark Dimension.
However, this thought quickly fell through.
The gentle, resilient Holy Light did not hinder him at all.
Even as Tang Qi's hand passed through, he felt an inexplicable "goodwill."
And when he seized Stanna and forcibly broke through the dimensional barrier to return to the Origin Star.
A sudden change occurred in Stanna's arms, as the female baby with the "Ferocious Holy Mark" imprinted on her forehead suddenly opened her eyes. Though appearing as a newborn, her gaze held insight that only comes after enduring ages.
She even smiled at Tang Qi and then spoke in an ancient voice:
"Finally, we meet, my foolish disciple's secretive friend, the wizard, who deceives the Divine."
"I am the nun of this generation, Sister Theresa, conveying the greetings and... gratitude from the Mother Goddess."
As the baby uttered the word "gratitude," the Holy Light that had vanished suddenly exploded.
In an instant, Tang Qi watched as he, Stanna, and the baby simultaneously escaped the Dark Dimension, and the Bright Blood Road ravaging above the Federation cut off as the Melter and Dark portals closed.
Before Tang Qi's eyes appeared a primitive, rough, yet life-filled temple.
Shrouded in misty Holy Light, it was colorful and seemed eternally enduring as the primordial birthplace of all Life. Before the temple, a green olive tree swayed gently in the breeze.
All was silent and sacred.
"The Life Temple of the Light Mother God!"
Just as Tang Qi realized the place before him, a strand of divine, gentle, and embracing Holy Light surged from ahead.
These Holy Lights seemed to possess life, and Tang Qi felt himself being enveloped in an unfathomably warm and peaceful embrace as if a great maternal life was hugging him.
Before thoughts flickered in his mind, a great, vast, and all-embracing female voice resonated deep within his mind.
"Please do not resist; it is the gratitude of a mother. In the past, present, and future... you will be under the care of the Light... that vile curse will vanish with the wind."
As the voice sounded, Tang Qi inexplicably recalled the oracle from the Light Dominator on the night of the "Light Festival."
The small-minded Lord of Light, under the witness of the All Spirits above the Mysterious, cursed that Tang Qi would, after a year, skin himself alive to atone to Him.
Although Tang Qi never believed that would happen, he couldn't deny that the hostility from the Lord of Light was not easy to deal with, and it was one of the motivations for his continuous ascension.
But now, that curse dissipated.
Gratitude from the 'Mother of Light,' this care of Light here must come from the Light Mother God, not the Light Dominator.
Beyond dissipating the curse, Tang Qi also received other benefits. As the embrace continued, the "weakness" deep in his soul vanished, the Dream Kingdom destroyed by tons of black mud was rapidly healing, and even more Dream Creatures began to nurture....
All of this happened under his "All-Knowing" observation.
There was no malice and no conspiracy.
This aligns with the Lord of Thorns Rafael's evaluation of a "mother." She is the Mother of Light, also the Mother of Thorns and Order, the everlasting Good God of all Bright believers. Most of her power was given to her children, causing her to fall from the Sovereign Position in ancient times, but she was still revered by All Spirits.
Enjoying these benefits, as the warm feeling receded, a hint of reluctance emerged involuntarily in Tang Qi's heart.
Yet soon, he pulled himself away, fully understanding why the Light Camp was so vast and why numerous Weak Gods sought allegiance; most reasons must lie in this kind, holy, and all-embracing Mother Goddess.
As thoughts flickered, Tang Qi looked towards Stanna, intending to speak.
At the same moment, Stanna, always as a "Silent Knight," awoke.
The first thing she saw was Tang Qi, realizing she had survived the ordeal, causing her once-cool expression to become exceptionally lively.
Resisting no longer, she stepped forward and gave Tang Qi a tremendously passionate and tight embrace, her red hair fluttering like flames before Tang Qi's eyes.
This touching scene lasted for seconds before being disrupted by Sister Theresa.
In her baby form, she was still held in Stanna's arms when an aged, resigned voice sounded: "Stanna, and this mysterious wizard gentleman, now isn't the right time for a reunion."
"Stanna, you need to undergo the Mother Goddess's trial, and Wizard sir, I assume you still have some outstanding issues needing resolution."
"Besides, I feel it's getting a bit hard to breathe...."
...
In the war-torn Secret Phoenix State, suspended over the "Tilos Secret Realm," a Black Hole passage formed by the collapse of an Obelisk was still transporting Raider Battleships into the Federation's borders.
In a spontaneous flash of Dream Phosphor, a massive, boundless divine tentacle lashed out from the Nihility.
The passage was maintained by the same divine power, an extraordinarily mighty force of the "Master of Horror."
However, this confrontation was not fair. Just a passage clearly could not match the divine tentacles of the Dream Master descending in True Body.
The Black Hole was almost instantly shattered by the strike.
Deprived of reinforcements, the Raider Fleet immediately faced simultaneous annihilation by the Ancient Castle Bureau, Medida Special Education School, Molten Furnace Legion, and the official forces cleaning up the aftermath.
Despite possessing battleships crafted by Evil Gods and rich invasion experience, they were unable to reverse their doomed fate.
The ships, wailing, plummeted out of control.
As this last "battlefield" was resolved, the annihilative crisis was completely dissipated.
Across the Federation, hundreds of millions of people who'd had their worldview frantically updated and rewritten in mere half a day could no longer suppress themselves.
Whether men, women, children, or the old, even including Transcendents of the Mysterious Side, all roared and cheered.
They shouted, took to the streets, hugged each other, or danced jubilantly, as if celebrating a grand festival.
Amidst this atmosphere of happiness and joy, the time limit for Tang Qi's stay also arrived, as the inexorably increasing repulsive force reached an insurmountable level, compelling him to depart from the "Dominator's Body."
Holding the Deborah Town, the Dream Master with endless divine tentacles was expelled from the Origin Star.
