The fact that The Unreachable Gate, Anote, had allied himself with Red Tears made perfect sense.

Earlier, it was The Unreachable Gate that restrained Killer J for Red Tears to take Lisa away, and due to The Unreachable Gates unique characteristic, his chances of taking the Divine Artifact for himself was the lowest. After all, he couldnt come into direct contact with reality and could only ever linger just outside of reach. His only goal for coming here this time was to show himself, consume as much information from Pathways as he could, slowly strengthening himself.

If Red Tears paid a good enough price, it was possible for her to invite The Unreachable Gate to help her.

Using only one perspective to judge a Righteous G.o.d meant you were p.r.o.ne to being deceived by them. The Unreachable Gate indeed could not directly interact with reality and only use the slowly approaching method to consume ones existence, but that didnt mean this approach couldnt be exploited beyond all imagination.

He might not be able to consume your entire existence and ability, but he could still cause your abilities to lose their effects.

Every ability needed a different medium and catalyst to interact with the world. For example, Negarys [Ray of Obliteration] was in essence the use of Impurity and Error with a bead of specialized germs as the restraining core.

But the [Ray of Obliteration] itself was mobile, up until the very moment when it came into contact with the target and each other to produce the obliteration effect, this ray of energy must travel through s.p.a.ce in the material plane.

The Unreachable Gate couldnt consume the [Ray of Obliteration] itself, but he could consume the catalyst, stripping away the catalysts capability of restraining the two different energies.

By doing this, the trajectory of the [Ray of Obliteration] was altered, the germs in the center was changed and caused the spiral structure to be ruined. The two rays of energy thus struck one another prematurely and obliterated that region of s.p.a.ce.

The grey power of obliteration quickly exploded before collapsing on itself and returning to its original forms. From this, the [Ray of Obliteration]s immense power could be seen, but that essentially did nothing because it missed its mark.

The Unreachable Gates ability could be said to be nauseating. While he couldnt consume the unique properties of various abilities, every ability required a certain level of interaction with the world. The Unreachable Gate could easily take advantage of these interactions to change their effects.

Both Negarys and Eternal Heats attacks were interfered with, giving Red Tears a bit of time.

Saarschloss, its not too late to let go. You might be genderless, but due to your Pathway of breeding life, your soul had been affected by your Pathway and trend towards female. I might not be able to take the Divine Artifact with me, but no matter how high the price Id have to pay is, youd only pay an even higher price

Red Tears openly stated Eulogy of the Ocean Depths true name, threatening them while also unleas.h.i.+ng her abilities towards Eulogy of the Ocean Depths.

Do you really think Anote can stop Eternal Heat? Eulogy of the Ocean Depths didnt care about Red Tears threat. While what she said made sense, the fact that Red Tears form of existence wasnt complete was also her weakness; so if they truly fought, the determining factor would be their techniques.

Following Eulogy of the Ocean Depths words, Red Tears couldnt help but recall her past.

I shall add to the pain of your pregnancy, you shall endure much suffering during childbirth, you shall love your husband, and your husband will have jurisdiction over you

This was what a certain woman heard when she woke up. It was the voice of her husband reading from the Sacred Text, a book that a merchant had left her husband when they pa.s.sed through their village.

The village didnt have a cathedral, nor a missionary who came to preach their doctrine, so her husband had to try and study the book by himself with what little words he knew.

The woman tried to struggle but found that she had been tied onto a stone table. On the other hand, her husband had already put down the Sacred Text and approached her with a devout expression while holding a special tool.

He drew her blood and scattered it onto the surrounding altar, stripped off her skin, cut up her flesh into small pieces on top of the altar, washed her feet and innards with clean water before hanging them on the side of the altar.

Her sin would then be cleansed by the flow of her blood, the sacred flames would sacrifice her cleansed body to G.o.d, leaving only her skin left with him.

The burnt offering, one of the methods of asking for salvation that the husband read from the Sacred Text. His wifes infidelity meant that she was a sinner.

In this era, Issac 1still hadnt been born, so the burnt offering still required human sacrifice. It wouldnt be until Abraham wanted to sacrifice Issac but ultimately decided to replace him with a ram that the ancient tradition of human sacrifices would slowly phase out.

The woman tried to struggle, but her husband still held down her head and slit her throat, letting her blood of sin spill out. The woman was full of hatred, her infidelity was nothing but a rumor that the dirty men who coveted her body had made up, but her husband believed it to be true and prepared this burnt offering in order to make reparations for her.

Indeed, her husband still loved her, he loved her so dearly that he believed it was his duty to make reparations for her after believing that she was sinful. He believed that by offering her as a sacrifice, G.o.d would feel delighted and absolve his wifes sins, accepting her into heaven; at least, this was what the husband believed from the barren religious knowledge he had.

The womans eyes became bloodshot as tears of blood flowed from her sockets, causing her hatred and curse to also flow out at this time. When the husband saw this, he instead felt relieved that his wifes sins had flowed out with her blood.

As the flames burnt bright and the smell of cooked meat radiated, the husband knelt by the altar with an expression of ease.

The ritual was actually real, but the ritual wasnt conducted properly. The sacrificed party wasnt willing to be sacrificed, in fact, she carried immense hatred and grudge with her, so it created the opposite of the desired effect. Following his unorthodox burnt offering, the grudge of the woman created a unique life form.

Half a year from then, the women of the village successfully achieved a 100% rate of infidelity, turning the entire village green, and then naturally red. Every man who contributed to the greenness of the village was affected by a strange compulsion to kill their wives and let their blood flow after finding out about their infidelity.

From this, the newly-born Red Tears grew increasingly more powerful and eventually obtained her ability: Soul of Infidelity.

Or rather, Soul of Irregularity.

Red Tears was able to cause the majority of female minds that werent firm to become irregular, using that to influence their minds and harvest the power created from this irregularity; after that, she would also guide their husbands to kill them and strengthen herself.

After that, Red Tears was caught by a witch and became that witchs belonging, during which Red Tears learnt and matured, gaining a lot of Mysticism knowledge. Finally, when the witch finally died, she regained her freedom and even became a local G.o.d somewhere.

Even after achieving her Pathway, Red Tears was still a life form created by the phenomenon of an irregular soul, she could naturally stimulate irregularities in all souls, but it was much easier for her to do so with female souls.

All women who had ever committed acts of infidelity were her wors.h.i.+ppers. Under her influence, these women enjoyed the sense of pleasure gained through their acts of infidelity, creating irregularities in their hearts to eventually be harvested.

In fact, the Mystic Demoness organization that Shengnai had a run-in with before was initially established by a wors.h.i.+pper of Red Tears. While the organization itself didnt wors.h.i.+p Red Tears, their actions were nothing but the best sacrifices for her, as well as the main reason why Red Tears church was so secretive.
