Chapter 500 I am the Holy Communion, this is mercy
During the unfolding ceremony of the Ring of Ending, Aiwass felt that his consciousness was gradually being withdrawn.
But the Ring of Ending Ceremony, after being supplemented by the shepherding method, seemed to have completed a certain key. The shepherding method in his body automatically circulated, and his mana and vitality were continuously drawn into the void.
Aiwass felt a strange dizziness, as if he had fallen asleep in a bathtub.
When Aiwass woke up again, he saw a strange scene——
He was suspended in the chaotic and dark void, with his feet not touching the ground.
And in front of Aiwass, a strange door that gradually lit up appeared.
It was a circular door composed of a stream of crimson light. It was like the setting sun with its heart dug out, or like a golden-red sun that was mostly blocked by a solar eclipse. It was rotating slowly and steadily, emanating from the edges.
In the scorching heat, golden-red flames erupted.
——Just like the ring that appeared on Lancelot's chest.
Aiwass looked at it, but always felt as if something was missing.
In an instant, Aivas felt blessed and turned around to look back.
I saw there was another "door" behind him.
It was a crystal snake biting its own tail, circling and entwining to form the symbol of "∞".
Judging from the oval-shaped snake head, it may be a non-venomous snake. Generally speaking, the crystal snake is an intoxicating and beautiful purple color, the whole body is translucent, and there are a small amount of cyan, red, and yellow gradients.
"...The Fire of Nothingness and the Infinite Snake?"
Aiwass murmured.
The art of shepherding comes from the mysterious skill of Huan Tiansi.
The dedication and transcendent power left behind by Huan Tiansi who transcended the road...
Thinking of this, Aiwass reached out his hand and touched it nervously but firmly.
When his hand touched the crystal snake, it was like fingertips touching a lake, ripples appeared. It seemed to be twitching with some discomfort, the beautiful crystal scales shrank and expanded, and it rotated
The speed has also become faster.
It is very dangerous to modify the parameters in the ritual while it is running. If you are not careful, you will be torn apart by the out-of-control ritual. The reason why Aiwass dared to do this is because after he obtained the Book of Law, he learned about the ending
The knowledge of the Ring Ritual was engraved into his brain, as if he himself was the inventor of the ritual.
Aiwass won't forget a single bit of it until he "takes it out."
I saw that the color of the purple giant snake's body had changed slightly - it had been changed from a Tiansi pointing to the path of love to an "apostle pointing to the path of authority" by Aiwass.
The Ring of Ending is a taboo ritual that can bring down Tiansi. But if it is just to bring down the apostle, the price required will be much smaller, and the stability of the ritual will also be improved. At least it should not let Lancelot down.
He died suddenly on the spot...
But just when Aiwass was concentrating on modifying the ritual.
But suddenly he heard a voice.
"I am the snake of secrets, coiled like a snare: and there is joy in this coil."
……What?
Aiwass was stunned for a moment.
This is exactly what is said in "".
——Even though he had never heard it with his own ears, he immediately felt... that it should be Huan Tiansi's voice!
It was a strange sound that he had never heard before, unlike a divine entity.
And His voice continues to sound:
"Red is one limit, and purple is another. My eyes shine with red light, and my clothes are purple."
Hearing this, Aiwass suddenly realized what the red [door] was.
Those are snake eyes!
Those are Huan Tiansi’s eyes!
At this moment, he looked into Huan Tiansi's eyes, but when he turned around, he saw his body. There was no doubt that this was not a complete and continuous space.
And then, Aiwass heard a gentle laugh.
——Or, he thought it should be ridicule.
“While the world changes and reincarnates, things will never change.
“The righteous will remain righteous, and the filthy will remain filthy. The king will always be the king, and the slave will always be the slave.
"No one ascends, no one descends, and all things never change. The universe has solidified, like an amber egg; the world reincarnates forever, just like a ring with a tail."
Huan Tiansi's voice became gentler, as if he was narrating something.
But then, Aiwass suddenly felt a great sense of crisis.
Because Huan Tiansi's voice suddenly became high-pitched and passionate, a strong sense of intoxication filled Aiwass's body.
The voice continued: "When the snake ascends into your heart, then the kiss of the stars pours into you.
"Holy Ten Eleven, this is a variable! Raise your body! Your body will be higher than the stars——"
Hearing this, Aiwass panicked, and his fingertips that were in contact with the Crystal Snake suddenly loosened their grip.
The messy sounds ringing in his ears disappeared instantly.
However, there were some fine amethyst snake scales floating on the skin of his right arm that was in contact with the crystal snake.
"...want my body?"
The corners of Aiwass' lips raised slightly: "I won't give it to you."
Although I roughly understand Huantiansi's motivation for becoming Huantiansi...but that has nothing to do with Aiwass.
But he was confused - this was just a promotion ceremony, everything was just false. So what if his body was taken away?
Or is this Huan Tiansi simulated by the Lord of Scale Feather? He is revealing some kind of secret for himself...
At this time, Aiwass had already completed the modification of the ceremony. After he could no longer hear Huan Tiansi's voice, he was kicked out instantly.
When he woke up again, he saw Lancelot I half-kneeling on the ground, with a look of pain on his face - nearly unlimited power was pouring into his body.
His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, but this founding knight had firm eyes and was silent, saying nothing.
These powers are so huge that they can even directly break through the upper limit of the energy level. But Lancelot's body seems to be overloaded during the ritual...
His red skin was spitting out white smoke, and liquid power was flowing through his body like fire.
It was as if there were some luminous creatures swimming under his skin. From time to time, a big lump would appear that would swim away quickly and then submerge inside his body.
"Shepherd...I don't know if I can call you that..."
Suddenly, Lancelot endured the pain and said: "I have seen your portrait... I have also heard about the secret of shepherding. I know that your soul can enter the body of the phantom..."
Aivas heard this and looked down.
But Lancelot stood up slowly, and his tone became slower but clearer: "I feel that the person pulled into my body by this ceremony... should not be the knight of the crown master, but the apostle of Xiong Tiansi
.
"It would be troublesome if I gave her my body, so..."
"——I give you my body."
"That kind of thing can't be done."
Aiwass smiled helplessly.
Of course, he didn't want Xiong Tiansi's apostle to come - he himself was still marked by Xiong Tiansi. If he came down, the first one to be beaten would be Aiwass.
But Aiwass was not very afraid. After all, Isabel should have received the message from him and was heading to the Theocracy at full speed.
All he has to do here is delay time - delaying the completion of the Coupling Ring, and at the same time delaying the destruction caused by the arrival of Tiansi or apostles.
Although the shepherding method and the ring of coherence are both the power of Huan Tiansi, and the shepherd also brought down Fallen Sky Si back then...
"……etc?"
At this moment, Aiwass was suddenly startled.
——Speaking of which, how did the shepherd pull down the Fallen Heaven Division?
In the art of shepherding... is there the ability to make Tiansi go down to the next world?
Suddenly, Aiwass thought of what Huan Tiansi had just said:
【——When I ascend into your heart, the kiss of the stars will pour into you】
Suddenly, Aiwass suddenly thought of his first promotion ceremony.
After Aiwass committed suicide from the ritual, he did not die. His soul was still attached to the Iron Hook Demon that evolved into the Malformed Limb Demon, and could even control the opponent's body to move.
The shepherd can already put his soul into the body of the phantom.
If you die during a pastoral ceremony, you will...
Thinking of this, Aiwass's pupils suddenly shrank.
The pastor back then...
Is he really dead?
What if it was said that it was not the shepherding technique or the ring of coherence that brought down Fallen Heavenly Secretary, but other rituals?
The Ring of Ending Ceremony is to stuff Tiansi's soul into the body of the material world; for this reason, once pulled down by the Ring of Ending Ceremony, you cannot be reborn from the dream world before death, and even if you are reborn, you will lose it.
Authority. But Fallen Sky Si was able to go back successfully, which shows that he was pulled down in the body of a phantom demon. This is obviously not the same ritual.
...And if he is pulled down in the body of a phantom demon.
The shepherding method can insert the soul of the shepherd into the body of the phantom.
Is it really Fallen Sky Division who returned last?
Why not be a pastor?
——Why is Huantian Si so targeted at Fallen Sky Si? Do you have to use the Ring of Ending ritual to pull it down?
Huantiansi did not hesitate to lay out this plan for hundreds of years...
The pastor is a believer of Huantiansi.
According to the records of "", the shepherd initially cooperated with Huantiansi's plan to breed demons in the material world, and eventually sacrificed all his followers and brought down Fallen Sky Si. He tried to sacrifice Fallen Sky Si to himself, so he was backlashed.
Pastoral law takes away all the power…
But what if this ending is false?
In other words, this is how it looks from an outsider's perspective... But in fact, he did not sacrifice the Fallen Heavenly Secretary to himself, but sacrificed himself to the Fallen Heavenly Secretary, and his soul returned to the dream world along with the Fallen Heavenly Secretary.
So is the shepherd a betrayer? Or it’s not an active betrayal, but the plan failed...or maybe it succeeded? Is this the effect Huantiansi wants?
if it is like this……
"...No, maybe I can actually do it."
Aiwass whispered.
At that time, when he touched the purple ring, the Ring of Ending suddenly turned red. If the shepherding method is the special condition for activating the Ring of Ending ceremony...
Just like his first promotion ceremony, he can also enter the body of Tiansi who was pulled down by the ring of coherence!
However, if you fail... you may die. If you really die during the promotion ceremony, you will also suffer heavy losses in reality.
Because neither Lancelot I nor a certain apostle who was pulled down may be judged as a phantom...
Thinking so, Aiwass looked at Lancelot I.
He suddenly reacted and realized something else.
From Lancelot's perspective, he didn't know what would happen next.
He didn't know whether his soul would fly away next, or whether he would become the nourishment of Aiwass, or whether his soul would ascend to the dream world, or whether he would be safe and sound. He had been watching in the dark Kingdom of Shadows for hundreds of years, just to return
The human world. But now that he has just come back, his body has been taken away...
Even so, he didn't complain at all. He didn't go crazy or cry, but took the initiative to give his body to Aiwass. Just to prevent Xiong Tiansi's apostle from using his body to hurt him, whom he now doesn't recognize or understand at all.
The People of Avalon.
The promotion ceremony is indeed false, because in terms of results, it is a fictional story.
But everyone in it is real in their own eyes. The price they paid and all their determination are real. But Aiwass has scruples because "this is false"...
Even if the risk he takes is far less than Lancelot.
Since Lancelot, who is not dedicated to the road, can do it, then why can't I do it?
...it's really ridiculous.
Can I also be considered a devotee?
——In a daze, Aiwass had a deeper understanding of the way of dedication.
The essence of dedication is sacrifice, but sacrifice does not necessarily have to be meaningful.
It is a strong fire that burns brightly forever.
When something happens in front of you, even if you know you can't stop it, even if you know you can't do anything, you still have to fight it.
Just because I couldn't see the tragedy happening before my eyes.
Obviously, Aiwass was also such a person from the very beginning.
When he first rescued Isabel and Sherlock from the promotion ceremony, he had no idea what would happen if he died. He was not familiar with them at all, they were just a group of strangers. At that time, Aiwass could have no scruples.
sacrificed their lives for them.
When did he start pursuing "efficiency of sacrifice"? Did he become timid in his sacrifice and dedication?
Now his heart for transcendence is getting stronger and stronger, but the fire of devotion that was bright enough in the beginning has gradually become dim.
He is becoming selfish.
It takes many times of regaining the original intention to bring his path back to balance in a short period of time.
Now, it is a [trial].
Aiwass picked up the dagger and held it slowly.
"...eat in silence, my lamb."
Taking a deep breath, Aiwass whispered.
He grasped the dagger of Arondette tightly, pointed it at his heart, and waited for the end of the Ring of Endings ceremony.
Seeing his actions, Lancelot finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He slowly gave up his resistance and finally nodded to Aiwass: "It's up to you..."
Aiwass watched Lancelot's black pupils gradually turn crimson crimson.
With the determination to die, Aiwass slowly pushed the dagger into his heart.
Feeling the cold sharp blade cutting into his flesh, he trembled in pain, his voice hoarse and low:
He stared at the murderous intent that was getting stronger and stronger when he looked at him.
