Chapter 3536 Red Moon and Creation
The pseudo-human's body was like an ant under the sword's light, which easily wiped it out. Then, with a deafening roar, the flesh-and-blood city was cleaved in two by the sword's light, and a huge slash mark lay across the flesh-and-blood earth.
Although the blood-red light emanating from the flesh-and-blood city and the lingering crimson moonlight are similar in color, no one would mistake them for each other at this moment, as their natures are completely different.
Dorothy, the owl, and Iluna all flew to Shad's side, only to find that Shad, with his bright pink left eye, was not at ease.
He stared down and saw the effigyed mannequin reappear in the city. It grew larger and larger with its laughter, bigger than the collapsed houses beside it, bigger than the apartment buildings standing in the distance, and bigger than the clock tower on the edge of the city.
The crimson hue of the entire world was concentrated on it, and even the boundaries of the flesh-and-blood city shrank as it recklessly extracted power.
But when it transformed into a giant and stood tall in the city, it was surprised to find that Shad was no longer in the sky. Looking up again, it discovered that the blood moon in the sky had taken on a strange rose-red hue.
Then it realized that what was in the sky was not a blood moon, but Shad's eye. Shad, a giant taller and larger than it, looked down at it from above.
Iluna stood atop his head, holding aloft the dark golden scales, suppressing the power of the flesh-and-blood city and amplifying the power of the [Clock Tower Lovers]. Dorothy, with her butterfly wings, flew beside Shad's ear, doing her utmost to integrate Shad's illusionary lock into this world. An owl perched on Shad's right shoulder; Flora was almost too weak to fly any further.
Thus, Shad's figure became part of the "world," and Danist's power, guided by him, transformed his eyes into that strange, rose-red moon.
When the "moon" looked down at the fake man, the latter actually felt its entire body trembling; the red moon was actually using the power of flesh and blood to influence its body.
"This is impossible!"
It continued to draw power from the illusionary lock, rapidly growing larger until its body was as tall as Shad's. This time, there was no clash of magical techniques, no contest of the illusionary lock; the fake man threw his right fist at Shad, and Shad returned the favor with his own right fist.
Given their current body size, the ring sorcerers on Fatummont Island who were watching the sky could clearly see the giants' fists colliding.
Just before the fists collided, a dazzling light suddenly shot into the sky from the peak of Mount Fatumunster. Then, in the light of the snow mountain, the abnormal traces of elements that permeated the entire island were swept away, and the enrichment of whispering elements brought about by the appearance of the reflection of the flesh and blood city was also greatly affected.
The phantom in the air trembled violently, and at that moment, the pure power driven by flesh and blood clashed. A thunderous roar seemed to echo above the island, and even the ring mages with keen hearing were momentarily deafened. The rumbling sound continued to spread, and the blood-red hue of the sky gradually faded in the light from the snow-capped peaks, but in reality, it was more like giants clashing fists, tearing the city apart.
Half a minute later, the clear sky reappeared above the island.
Within the crumbling, flesh-and-blood city of the "House of the Pseudo-Humans," the pseudo-human, now restored to normal human size, is experiencing constant explosions of flesh and blood. Unable to control the shedding of its body's flesh, it can barely maintain its human form. Yet, it continues to vibrate the flesh in its throat; it is unwilling to accept its fate.
"It just so happens that the ceremony concerning the snow mountain, which had clearly been prevented, was held at that very moment."
With its last strength, it laboriously asked Shad, who had also returned to normal human size:
"Why? Why is the power of the Red Moon able to overcome the power of creation?"
Shad, unusually, was willing to explain before the enemy disappeared:
"The moon is the most powerful force. Besides, although I dare not claim to represent the moon, I am certain that you cannot represent creation."
She chuckled softly.
The dummy, its entire body exploding into minced meat, pointed its swollen, mangled fingers at him:
"Summoner of the gods, I have failed to overcome fate. The ancient god of fate has toyed with me—why now of all times!"
"Don't blame your defeat on fate just because you lost. Fate is innocent too. Although you may never be able to appear again, I still want to warn you—don't toy with the lives and fates of ordinary people. If they want to break free from fate and change their lives, they should absolutely not rely on the power of fake people."
Fate didn't play tricks on you; fate is fair to everyone, even if you're not human. You prevented the All Souls' Day rituals, and the island will suffer from various natural disasters for a year, so you must pay the price.
The descending crimson moon slash completely engulfed it, and this time Shad was certain that the opponent would not reappear from there. The flesh-and-blood city, which had become almost materialized due to the amplification of demonic power, collapsed at this moment, but the crimson color did not fade from the surroundings, because the group had returned to the core of the [False Human House].
Even Dorothy, Flora, and Iluna came in.
Dorothy, with her butterfly wings, already possessed the power of the Red Butterfly Twins, so she only frowned because of her surroundings; she disliked this place filled with flesh and blood. Iluna, holding her scales, seemed completely unaffected, indicating that the Chosen Ones were not afraid of such an environment.
The spirit "owl," however, rolled her eyes and plummeted downwards, her spirit form dissolving into a flesh-and-blood owl. Audrey then scooped her up and placed Flora, who had returned to human form, on the back of a unicorn. Only after Flora joined the resonance between the unicorn and the witch's power did she regain consciousness.
At this point, the mental pollution ability of this room was no longer so strong. Its power had been absorbed by Shad and then by Flesh City, and the blood lake below was now almost completely dried up.
Shad was still in a trance-like state, maintaining this power as he looked at the solid ice Sylvia was holding. He pointed, and the power of the red moon shone on Ellie's pink fur. Then the ice shattered, and Ellie awoke from within. Although her fur was still red, she could now fly on her own. Winnie was tending to her, and the listless little unicorn let out a soft cry upon seeing Shad return; its weak voice was truly heartbreaking.
Shad did not cure her; neither the Clock Tower Lovers nor Danist's powers were inclined towards healing. Red Moon merely manipulated flesh and blood to restore her health to the greatest extent possible.
With his last strength exhausted, Shad closed his eyes, and Danist walked out from behind him in a red light. When Shad opened his eyes again, they had returned to their original color.
The librarian looked somewhat weak, so Iluna and Dorothy helped her onto the unicorn's back, where Emilia would take care of her. While the unicorns didn't particularly like girls who weren't considered pure, they had no choice but to accept her since she was the academy's librarian.
"While [The House of False Humans] is severely injured, let's deal with that door and get out of here as soon as possible."
Shad looked worriedly at Ellie and Daniste, especially the former; the little unicorn didn't look alright. He handed the Night's Watch to Megan beside him and pulled out the snake fang again.
Although the girls wanted to ask about Shad's current situation, they remained silent seeing his swift movements. So the girls and the unicorn herd followed Shad across the blood lake to the gate on the other side. The unicorns were quite wary of the flesh and blood on the gate and refused to come down, so in the end only Iluna, Dorothy, and Winnie followed Shad to the gate.
"Will this door allow access to number six, Place Saint-Delan?"
Iluna even asked curiously, and Shad shook his head:
"There's no way to do it for now. If possible, I would also like to move this door out of the [House of the Pseudo-Humans], but I can't do that right now."
“Grace told me to tell you that the mass of flesh clinging to the door is more terrifying than any power the House of False Men has ever shown. Grace and Helen said that even the False Men have absolutely no way to control this mass of flesh.”
Dorothy with butterfly wings said to Shad, who was not surprised. The “pseudo-humans” were only born because the door caused by this mass of flesh could not be closed, not because they controlled the flesh and made the door unable to close.
Shad even speculated that perhaps the original "House of Pseudo-Humans" was just an ordinary building with these peculiar doors, just like No. 6 St. Delan Square originally had the doors of a "space labyrinth." It was only because flesh and blood prevented the doors from closing that a pool of blood appeared, which in turn created pseudo-humans, transforming the building into the "House of Pseudo-Humans."
Of course, these are all things from a very ancient era, and Shad cannot even determine whether the birth of the first pseudo-human occurred at the end of the First Era or the beginning of the Second Era.
But none of that mattered anymore; he forcefully...
He stopped what he was doing and looked at the three girls beside him, then at the witches on the unicorn's back:
"It's a pity Stella isn't here right now."
He saw Ellie, the only one who had fallen with him, and after thinking for a moment, handed her the snake fang:
“I’m sure the Old Gods would never want this door to stay open. Ellie, come here. If you destroy the out-of-control Firstborn flesh and blood and close the door, you might receive the blessing of the remaining power of the Old God who created you.”
It's common knowledge that gods abhor relics, which is why Shad said that. It didn't really matter who delivered the final blow, but Ellie was too weak to pick up the fang, so Winnie cast a spell to freeze it onto Ellie's horn. With a gentle thrust, the fang pierced the slowly writhing flesh on the door.
Without any mishap, the charred yellow snake fangs turned a withered yellow, then crumbled into dust and disappeared. The flesh on the door changed from blood red to pink, then to reddish-brown. The once plump flesh became shriveled, and finally, with a breath from Ellie, the shriveled flesh hanging on the door turned to dust.
