The name of the 3.0 expansion pack is called [Shadows of Avalon], and this is also the version in which the Ring of Endings ritual appears for the first time.
The arrival of the Fallen Goddess happened outside the main plot. To be more precise, this is the story that happened in the trailer of the 3.0 version. But the Fallen Goddess of Avalon happened in the main line BOSS of the 3.0 version——
That is to say, it came after the Fallen Heavenly Division who came to Star Antimony was defeated.
The "someone" who once served as Star Antimony's puppet but is now independent and summoned Shadow Sky Division is Isabel (puppet).
——This is the core of the Star Antimony Kingdom's conspiracy, and it is also the reason why they dare to attack Avalon directly.
They used the most advanced technology crystallization - using the techniques of golem, alchemy, ritual and necromancy to create a replica of Princess Isabel. As a doll, she was loyal to Star Antimony. She even had independent consciousness and could
Act autonomously without taking orders.
Except for the joints hidden under her clothes, she looks exactly the same as Isabel.
Of course, there is a huge personality gap between her and Isabel. And because her intelligence is low in autonomous action mode, as long as the ministers are clear-headed, they can easily see that she is just a doll.
——But having a puppet as a cover is enough.
On the surface, it is still the royal blood that controls Avalon - even if she is not on the authoritarian path, it is better than nothing. Those ministers who betrayed Avalon and defected to Star Antimony will not be punished.
Accusation. The hatred of the Avalonians will not be completely concentrated on the Star Antimony people.
People would only think that Avalon had been defeated once, so they signed a contract to sell their profits. But they would not have thought that their new queen was just a puppet of the Star Antimony.
It is precisely because in version 3.0, Isabel became famous for defeating the Fallen Division with the support and help of the Theocracy. People began to wonder - if it was Isabel who defeated the Fallen Division, then who is their queen?
Until the 3.2 version of the plot, without the control of the Star Antimony people, the doll was forced to start learning Isabel's past. In the end, the doll gradually awakened her heart - or in other words, she gradually lost control. She really gradually began to think
She is Isabel.
Aiwass forgot the middle plot. But in short, in version 3.4, Miss Puppet and Queen Puppet learned of the existence of the "Shadow of Avalon", and finally chose to sacrifice her brother John as Isabel in an attempt to summon the ancestor Lancelot.
Come to protect Avalon.
However, the summoning failed.
The summons must fail.
Because the ritual arranged by Merlin before he became an apostle had long been modified by Lancelot's adoptive mother and Merlin's ex-girlfriend, the Lake Fairy Vivian of the Path of Love.
After completing her great achievements as a mother, Vivian also successfully became an apostle.
But she was not the apostle of Hengga, but became the apostle of Yingtiansi.
According to the rules of the path of love, both superiors and subordinates are loved by each other. So she can be regarded as Ying Tiansi's daughter or lover, then Lancelot is Ying Tiansi's grandson - this is what he will do in
The reason why he went to the Kingdom of Shadows to gain experience but did not become the Silver Crowned Dragon Apostle.
Vivian's original purpose was probably to prevent Lancelot's rebirth.
Because everyone knows that as long as Lancelot dies again after rebirth, he will leave the Kingdom of Shadow forever and become an apostle of the Silver Crown Dragon. But as long as his resurrection fails, he will stay here forever as a warrior of the Kingdom of Shadow.
Although Lancelot has a bad attitude towards her, Vivian still loves him one-sidedly.
As a foster mother, as a mentor, and as a lover.
Extraordinary people on the path of love always find it difficult to control their desires. They also mix various desires together and misunderstand them.
The reason why Lancelot had a bad attitude towards her when he became an adult is also very simple - because Vivian did not raise Lancelot as an orphan, but fell in love with him after seeing Lancelot as a baby.
She fell in love with him and then directly stole him as an infant from his parents.
But maybe it’s because Huan Tiansi has tampered with it, maybe it’s just a coincidence, or maybe it’s the inspiration for the “Ring of the End” ritual… In short, after being modified by Vivian, this ritual just happened to be
The "ring of coherence".
When she changed this ritual, Huan Tiansi had not yet taught this ritual to humans.
Lancelot's still-living body happened to become the "living sacrifice" needed for the Ring of the End ceremony. And the close kinship connection between him and Shadow Sky became the foundation of the ceremony.
What serves as the ritual fire is the ignorant and pure desire in the puppet queen's heart.
I want to live as a human being, as "Isabelle Du Lac"——
As a result, the ritual absorbed John's blood, the puppet queen's heart, and Lancelot's body, turning it into a top-notch "Ring of the End" ritual, directly dragging Shadow Tiansi down.
——Having said this, Ying Tiansi must also be at a loss.
Because it is impossible for any Tiansi to want to be dragged down by the Ring of Ending - even if they can be reborn in the dream world after being killed, if they die in the material world, they will no longer be Tiansi after rebirth.
Although the phantom will regenerate after death, its "equipment" will be dropped.
Ordinary phantoms don't have much equipment, but Tiansi has authority...that is, their Tiansi fragments.
If you die in the dream world, as long as the person who kills you is not a colleague who happens to be able to absorb your fragments, you can be resurrected with full health. But if you die in the material world, it is equivalent to these fragments falling directly into the void.
It is the disintegration of this part of authority and the re-vacancy of the occupied power nodes that allows the extraordinary person on this path to break through the limit and go further. It was after Shadow Tiansi died once in the material world that the rare shadow power was finally unlocked
.
Now that there is no puppet queen, Aiwass can't say whether Yingtiansi will succeed in coming.
But he can be sure that Vivian must have changed the ritual. In other words, it cannot be Lancelot who comes anyway. Maybe it will be Vivian, or it may still be Ying Tiansi, and in the end
The good ones may be his former brothers, the other knights who became the apostles of the Silver Crown Dragon, but it cannot be Lancelot.
But another troublesome thing came.
That is, Aiwass could not stop the Queen from performing this ritual.
——Now that twenty members of the royal family have died, there is only one left to complete the ceremony. Then you, an outsider who has never heard of this ceremony before, suddenly jumped out and said, "There is something wrong with this ceremony, stop it immediately"?
There's no need to think about it, he can't persuade her.
Even if she knew there was a problem, the old lady would definitely give it a try.
Because without the protection of Lancelot, it would be difficult for Avalon to survive the labor pain period - and this is indeed the case. Without Lancelot, Avalon was directly pushed flatly by Star Antimony's wave of F2A.
However, the current world level is too low. There are very few people who can even touch the upper limit.
If you want to change all this, you still have to wait for the big event of version 2.0... At that time, the upgrade speed will suddenly increase.
Now if they really pull Ying Tiansi out, it will be the end of the world - at this time, the whole world cannot gather a sixth-level team, and the demon incarnations of the Rosicrucian Society are also stuck in the fifth level.
Energy level is the upper limit of this level.
If you are not at the sixth level, how can you beat the coming Tiansi... If you don't have enough priority, you won't even be able to break through the defense.
That would be Avalon dragging the whole world along with him.
...Then, why not think back and think about it. Is it possible to fix this ritual?
It's not impossible.
If Merlin is summoned and told that one of his rituals has been changed by Vivian... can he find a way to change it back?
——This is like a one-time program he wrote when he left his job more than 400 years ago. Because it was a one-time use, no comments were written. Now the program is ready to run, but a bug appears. I hope he can return to the company to fix it now.
one time.
...Aiwass thought about it and felt that there was not much hope.
The best possibility is to destroy the ritual directly. This is not difficult, after all, the foundation of the ritual is Lancelot's body.
Although Aiwass cannot understand this complex ritual at the apostle level... But if the problem can be fundamentally solved, just kill Lancelot. Lancelot's body is the foundation of the ritual, and his death ritual
It closes automatically.
After all, it is just a body without a soul. It is equivalent to a sixth-level strongman falling into a sleep that cannot be awakened. It is very simple to kill him.
But in that case, there would be no turning back. He would have to prepare other means to fight against Star Antimony.
However, Her Majesty the Queen has basically not thought about that aspect.
After all, this is not a plan arranged by Avalon, but a flexible countermeasure taken against the conspiracy of Star Antimony and Iris. It is already remarkable to be able to think of counterattacks while being completely passive, surrounded by enemies, and facing internal and external troubles. But now
With less than a year to go, if Aiwass demands that everything be scrapped and redone...
Gee, I have a bit of a toothache.
Aiwass suddenly felt that knowing too much was not a good thing.
As a result, no matter how he moves, it seems to lead to unexpected situations.
... Logically speaking, just let the story develop. Let Avalon perish and they escape. In the end, the problem should be solved... Just let Avalon stand up again and be reborn in the fire.
But, can he do this?
Aiwass rejected it without thinking.
There is no complicated reason.
——Because I don’t want to.
Chapter 2 will be written when I get back after dinner!
