Chapter 361 The ritual of annihilation of body and spirit
Merlin saw the purple light flashing in Aiwass's eyes, and he pressed his hat helplessly, covering the upper half of his face.
"It seems you understand something, Aiwass."
Merlin said softly, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
How smart he is.
Just by looking at Aiwass's expression and seeing him suddenly resonate with the transcendent path, you can roughly guess what happened. There is no need for Aiwass to explain to him personally.
——The intermediate process and "how to do it" do not need to be considered at all.
Then the rest is nothing more than a few possibilities.
Aiwass is the chess piece needed for the plan behind the "Ring of the End" ceremony, Aiwass is the back-up man prepared by Huan Tiansi, Aiwass is part of Jacob's conspiracy... roughly speaking, these are the
possibility.
Anyway, it's either related to Jacob or Huan Tiansi.
Merlin quite understands the feeling of being taken advantage of. After all, he had almost the same mentality after being deceived by Vivian.
So Merlin put his hand on Aiwass's shoulder affectionately, and whispered softly: "Although I don't know what you have in mind, I have something to say."
After hearing this, Aiwass raised his head and looked at Merlin.
"You are the most talented person I have ever met, bar none. You are also a good boy who has saved the future of countless people.
"In those plans, you may be the egg shell, perhaps the fuel, perhaps the wheel, or perhaps the chess piece."
Merlin said word by word: "But no matter what, I think... it's a pity that you only become 'fragments'. You should have a brighter future, and you just need to remove the shackles on yourself."
"Will you support me?"
Aiwass asked rhetorically.
In his words, there was no respect that he should have for the apostles.
Merlin keenly captured this subtle change in attitude.
--interesting.
It seems that this matter is indeed related to Huantiansi.
The Ring of Ending Ceremony can force other Celestial Beings to descend to the realm...but what's the point? Let the Celestial Beings be driven out of the dream world and let them rule the material world instead?
Although he still doesn't quite understand the process, Merlin has probably guessed his final purpose.
——Huan Tiansi is planning to seize the position of Pillar God.
This is no secret. The dwarves' beliefs are open and their purpose clear.
As a Tiansi who transcends the path, how could he not want to transcend his position as a Tiansi?
To achieve this, it is not enough to be powerful. It requires great achievements that can completely change the world.
So I realized all this so early...what should I do? Is it time to take sides?
Stand with the Snake Father and help him prevent the popularity of the Ouroboros Ring ritual?
Or are you siding with Ouroboros and helping him advance this plan?
"……Ah."
Merlin chuckled.
——He doesn’t want to take any side.
Since you have to rely on your intelligence advantage to become a gambler, you might as well make a big bet. Otherwise, what's the difference between you and those who don't know anything?
So Merlin raised his eyebrows and smiled at Aiwass: "Yes, of course I will support you. Why not?"
"That's what you said."
"Yes, I said so."
Merlin replied readily: "If anything happens, just pray to me. Use the ritual to call me, and I will answer you as long as I am free."
He let go of Aiwass's hand on his shoulder and glanced back at the giant prince who was bound by him.
"Don't you give it a try, Aiwass? I'm also curious about how the 'sacred entity' works...can you show it to me?"
"certainly."
Aiwass replied.
He closed the book of law in his hand and slowly walked to the giant prince Wolfram who was bound in place.
That's ridiculous - that's what Aiwass originally wanted to say.
According to the original timeline, Wolfram would never have died so early. He completely brought his own death on his own.
Listening to what the Punisher Devil meant, Wolfram believed a certain prophecy and came here to look for the Book of Laws - in fact, there was no need to listen to the Punisher Devil's words, he just looked at Wolfram and stared at him intently.
You can understand all this just by looking at Aiwass's eyes.
"...It's so pitiful."
Aiwass sighed: "You know nothing about any of this."
Bishop Mathers told Aiwass a long time ago that the Noble Red suddenly entered the Glass Island to find or get close to the "sacred entity". And if their purpose is to obtain the Book of Law... then it can really be said that
The prediction is quite accurate.
The Book of Dharma indeed contains the power to change the world.
As long as you get it, you can get the "Ring of the End" ritual. Not only that, if you are lucky, you may even be able to discover the profession of Sin Scholar and obtain other rituals.
Those rituals were all the rituals used by Huantian Si to grant him "Prophet" Jacob. The rituals that were too weak were not worthy of being collected in this grimoire that concealed the conditions for changing the profession of "Lord of the Beast".
"You had a chance."
Aiwass scoffed: "But you missed it."
"Giants" and "human beings" are not of the same race. Giants are the descendants of the Supreme Heaven, while humans are the descendants of Eternity and the Snake Father. In other words, if giants use humans as ritual materials, they will not trigger the sin of "heavenly sin"
.
Because they are not the same race.
And the kingdom of giants, that is, the kingdom of Arktos, perished too early. Even if they wanted to use giants as ritual materials, they couldn't find them at all - Wolfram had already become a prisoner, and
Cassiam, the Punishment Demon, has been wandering in the wilds of Avalon as a giant civilian for more than a hundred years. If he can find other giants, he will not be the only one who defected to Wolfram.
They naturally meet the promotion requirements for scholars of sin.
Just like the players.
Perhaps due to review, players are not allowed to use humans as materials to perform rituals. Therefore, all Demonologist players cannot be promoted to Demonic Incarnations and can only be promoted to Sin Scholars.
As Jacob's student, Wolfram inherited the same career as him and stepped into the same trap as him.
A great wizard who has been promoted to a spell mage cannot read this book.
But Qasiem, who had every chance of being recognized by the Book of Law...had advanced into the incarnation of a demon.
If a demonologist wants to be promoted to demon incarnation, he must commit a sin of heaven. Without this "unforgivable sin", he cannot be recognized by the Fallen Heaven Division.
In other words, in order to qualify for promotion, Qasiem had to ask Wolfram for some body fragments to use as materials for job transfer.
——In this way, Qasiem worked hard and finally advanced into the devil incarnation, thus successfully missing the Book of Laws.
But now, Wolfram doesn't even know what the Book of Law means. He also has no idea what ridiculous role he and the Noble Red he commands play in this plan.
Thinking of this, Aiwass only felt unmotivated: "With such a powerful power...but still can't get rid of the shackles of fate.
"Then I'll give you relief."
He said, raising the book of Dharma in his hand.
The pages of the book opened by themselves and stopped at the page of "The Hanged Man".
There is a ritual recorded there that can only be used on people who are bound and hung upside down.
"Please turn him over."
Aiwass asked Merlin.
"oh?"
Merlin asked with interest: "Is it like the 'Hanged Man' on the Tarot cards?"
He thought of something and immediately became interested.
"Yes."
Aiwass responded.
So Merlin held the staff, and the giant prince was spun around in a circle and hung upside down in the air by chains.
He glared at Aiwass fiercely, obviously knowing what was going to happen to him.
But Aiwass just said calmly: "Don't you want to get the power of the Book of Law?
"Then I'll give it to you."
The Great Wizard is difficult to kill in the first place.
Once killed, there is a possibility of resurrection or reincarnation - even if Merlin is watching, Merlin may not be absolutely reliable.
Moreover, Aiwass was not sure whether a giant like Wolfram would be recruited as an apostle by Xiong Tiansi after his death.
Wolfram wanted to get the Book of Law, mostly because he wanted to relieve Xiong Tiansi from the dilemma he was facing... And facing this rare loyal minister, who might even be the last loyal minister in the material world, Xiong Tiansi might
I would be willing to give him part of my strength and keep his soul.
That would be too dangerous.
He knows too much about himself. And as an apostle, he is too powerful - even the Great Guardian may die due to his revenge.
——If you want to kill him, you must destroy both body and spirit.
