Aiwass stared at old Moriarty, staring at his blood-stained face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
He suddenly understood what the old man meant.
——This is a preview of the destruction of the world.
For the residents living under this sky, an asteroid impact of this magnitude is equivalent to "the end of the world."
Without the intervention of the "Savior", it is meaningless for them to use any ability or make any attempt - no matter what they do, their world will be destroyed.
That is the will of God that cannot be violated by human power, and it is "death" that has been determined.
And Aiwass controls their [life].
He can leave here leisurely - just like Huan Tiansi, leaving before the end destroys him, thereby preserving himself. Of course he can curse Moriarty, or he can kill him directly, or even put everything aside in his heart
The "crimes" are all placed on Moriarty, because he is the one who asked for the trolley problem... and Aiwass does not have the obligation to save everyone.
On the other hand, Aiwass can also use "Doomsday" as a weapon and find ways to change the trajectory of the meteorite and throw it towards the Fallen Sky Division.
This was a blow that was enough to intimidate Hui Tiansi. In other words, it was also a heavy blow that Tiansi, who had gained a physical form in the material world, could not resist.
Because this is a purely physical impact, it only uses high-density and high-weight materials to bombard it. It does not count as magic damage and does not have extraordinary power. Therefore, even the resistance of high-level phantoms must be fully exhausted. Even if it is against Fallen Heavenly Swordsman,
Even if he takes this blow, it is unacceptable - provided that he takes this blow directly.
Even if it cannot be completely destroyed, it can at least be severely damaged. This will obviously be beneficial to subsequent attacks.
...and the price is that the entire Star Antimony Capital will be destroyed as a result.
The attack range is a radius of fifty kilometers - the range that is directly hit by the meteorite and completely destroyed should not be that large. At least half of the surrounding area is affected. But only the affected range covers ten Lionheart cities; if it is directly hit,
The area is only 25 kilometers, and it is the size of three Lion Heart cities.
——Is it worth sacrificing so many innocent lives to safely defeat the Fallen Sky Division?
And this idea is a "necessary evil."
If this idea comes to Aiwass' mind, and he even just needs to consider "whether it's worth it" - it means that he has been controlled by the old Moriarty.
Just like the concept of "knowledge is poisonous" that old Moriarty has been interpreting. When a person knows a certain knowledge, he will inevitably be infected by it. Even if he denies it or has forgotten it, he has already
The impact will last and even change a person's life.
——Just like old Moriarty was contaminated by the memory of the apocalypse.
"...So that's what happened."
The corners of Aiwass' mouth raised slightly.
He looked at the meteorite in the sky.
The speed of its descent is very slow - or maybe very fast. But at least from the position of Aiwass, you can only see it getting bigger slightly. The speed is even slower than the setting sun.
Aiwass opened the book of magic and stopped at a page of cards he rarely used.
[Enchanting Card: Dryad·Moon Spirit]
[Effect: Transform a tree into a dryad Anastasia. The dryad is considered a summon. When the dryad is present, it will continue to heal all allies within the range, and at the same time control the plant to periodically attack enemies within the range.

[Effect: Use again, when Dryad Anastasia is present, summon Moon Spirit Anastasia. Moon Spirit is regarded as a summon and can exist for ten minutes. When Moon Spirit is present, Dryad
The effect is changed to 'obtain a continuous protective barrier with the tree demon as the center'. The barrier is regarded as a force field, ritual, and shield, except for "divine", "fire", and "dirty evil"
All types of damage are resistant]
On the card is a blind and foolish man wearing green clothing with horns on his head. A snake-like transparent rope is wrapped around his neck.
"Ignorant and fearless, respect the future, pursue dreams, and move forward freely. Even if it is meaningless, you still insist on going your own way..."
Aiwass said calmly: "I like the meaning."
The old Moriarty, who was cut in two, still had the power to speak.
He looked at the card Aiwass had drawn.
He did not recognize this Tarot card that had been modified by Aiwass, but as an astrologer, he obviously also understood Tarot. Listening to Aiwass's description, old Moriarty guessed where this card was.
Play cards.
"The Fool..."
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he uttered a low and hoarse voice: "The beginning of all Tarots, the end of all Tarots... living in a dream, unable to adapt, and acting strangely. Just like you..."
"Maybe."
Aiwass replied casually.
He now needs to find a tree.
A giant tree that is huge enough to protect people from wind and rain - the bigger the tree, the bigger the barrier it will ultimately support.
Just a small tree on the roadside may be able to protect itself... but it cannot prevent disaster for all living beings.
"I already understand."
Aiwass spoke, looking down at old Moriarty: "This is the last test you left for me... and the last lesson.
"Saving the world is not an easy task. It requires subverting the limits of the impossible. And the most important thing is not to reverse the purpose and means along the way...
"...just like you."
Hearing this, the old man made no sound.
Just the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
——If old Moriarty wants to escape, relying on his ability to control illusions and lies, he can easily escape from Aiwass. He has much more combat experience than Aiwass. If he wants to kill Aiwass,
Si, there are ways to kill him in a sneak attack, as evidenced by the magic that manipulates gravity with one hand.
But he didn't do that.
Because when old Moriarty witnessed the Ring of Endings ceremony and saw Aiwass avoiding his astrology and appearing directly in front of him... he already knew that he had failed.
Some villains were defeated in the third episode and were only buried in the 300th episode - but this was not the case for old Moriarty. When he realized that it was impossible to fulfill his long-cherished wish, he made a simple choice
gave up.
...Of course, maybe it's because he saw hope.
A slim hope from another possibility!
It can even be said that he was not killed by the Wild Hunt, but died voluntarily at the hands of Aiwass.
In this way, Aiwass must bear the weight of killing him.
"...This kind of expectation without saying anything is really a bit like a father."
Aiwass murmured in a low voice and animated an ordinary little oak tree.
Then, he raised his neck and transformed into a deer in the light.
Old Moriarty's pupils widened slightly.
"Deer... Si Zhu..."
He murmured in a low voice, as if he thought of something, then denied himself, and slowly closed his eyes: "Well, it's not..."
Aiwass, who transformed into a deer, walked gracefully beside old Moriarty.
As he advanced, his skin gradually cracked and blood flowed. The black sin thorns pulled out ferociously like tentacles. From a distance, it looked like the holy white deer had black wings growing on it.
"Ask a question, old man."
Aiwass walked up to old Moriarty and asked unceremoniously: "Did you leave anything for me? I can use whatever you leave behind."
He didn't know when he changed his name.
Upon hearing this, old Moriarty's old and mottled face showed a sincere smile.
"nature."
The old man said calmly: "Everything I left behind belongs to you. The wealth and knowledge I collected are all in the family treasury - Oswald will take you to the specific location.
"As for this remnant body, this remnant soul...if you want to use it for anything, just use it.
"I don't plan to enter the dream world. When a person dies, he is dead. There is no need to pursue eternal life after death, and there is no need to care about the afterlife. Even this world is not eternal, and even a dead soul dares to call himself a god..."
The old man sneered, and the light in his pupils gradually dissipated.
"——Then you can't die yet."
Aiwass suddenly spoke.
The dryad Anastasia shook the branch slightly, and a ball of light suddenly bloomed on the old man.
"Uh...!"
Old Moriarty groaned, and his body quickly regained its vitality and vitality. His face was confused at first, and then gradually turned into anger.
But at this moment.
Only the sound of piercing was heard, and the several thorns behind Aiwass actually nailed him, nailing him under the oak tree!
"Uh uh uh ah ah ah -"
The severe pain made old Moriarty couldn't help but twitch.
His consciousness faded for a moment, and the muscles all over his body vibrated at high speed as if receiving an electric shock.
——After those sin thorns penetrated into old Moriarty's body, they suddenly began to expand crazily!
The spreading sin thorns are growing overwhelmingly in all directions, with old Moriarty being held high by the sin thorns as the core!
The surrounding stone slabs, buildings, and walls were all covered with pitch-black sin thorns. However, they avoided the golden oak in the middle.
Oswald outside retreated in horror - that was the Sin Thorn! The natural enemy of all extraordinary beings, even intelligent creatures!
"The criminal consultant of Lloyd's, the master of evil who manipulates people's hearts, the founder of the concept of 'necessary evil'... You must have accumulated a lot of 'evil', old man."
Aiwass, who did not have horizontal pupils like a deer, but had vertical pupils like a dragon, stared at Moriarty.
"——Then give them all to me."
With that said, Aiwass chewed on those sinful thorns.
As Aiwass chewed, blood continued to flow from the corners of his mouth. The fire gradually spread from his mouth——
And huge amounts of mana are continuously generated from the furnace in his body.
He invested the generated mana into an ordinary oak tree next to him.
——That is exactly the magic that the elves of the Theocracy usually use to repair giant trees!
An ordinary magic that makes trees regenerate.
At this moment, with the authority of Si Zhu’s son, it continues to grow!
Ten meters, twenty meters, fifty meters...even a hundred meters, or even higher!
Those sin thorns have not been exhausted at all, they are still spreading crazily.
The devouring speed of Aiwass cannot even keep up with the speed of its rebirth. The growth speed of the golden oak tree is like a golden meteor flying backwards, growing crazily at an incredible speed!
Watching this scene, old Moriarty's temples were trembling with severe pain, but he became more energetic because of the oak light that kept falling on him.
The old man laughed heartily, half sarcastically, half suddenly: "So... what you want is this... hahahaha... then take it! Take them all!"
"How can a mortal surpass the evil I have done!
"That is the sin of the Savior!
“If we don’t bear this necessary evil—”
At this point, even old Moriarty's body was completely engulfed by the growing sin thorns in his body.
His entire body has lost its shape and body, and has turned into a mass of sinful thorns in human form.
"——I will never take the same path as you, father."
Aiwass said softly.
The antlers on his head grew crazily - they gradually grew from tender antlers that were half white and half red to huge antlers like a moose. The color also gradually changed to the color of suet white jade, with dark gold floating in it.
A little glow.
Even the body of the Sin Beast itself is expanding and getting bigger because of this!
And just then.
The group of black sin thorns that had completely lost its body suddenly opened its "mouth". In other words, it was the group of sin thorns that was originally the mouth.
It didn't make any sound.
Instead, the mouth opened and closed to make mouth shapes. Then it completely collapsed and turned into sinful thorns all over the sky.
Aiwass looked at the mouth shape and actually understood old Moriarty's words.
[Then remember this sentence]
"——will remember it."
Aiwass murmured, "I won't run away again."
In glorious splendor, beneath towering oak trees.
The young deer has since grown up.
The sin thorns wrapped around his body were so huge that the undigested sin thorns could even lift the deer-form Aiwass high into the sky and let him fall directly on the top of the oak.
These sins that are too late to digest will become Aiwass's nourishment. No one knows how long old Moriarty's layout will last, and no one knows how many people he has killed directly or indirectly. But these sins remain.
stored in his soul.
A thought suddenly popped into Aiwass' mind:
If enough souls of "Old Moriarty" enter the Source River at the same time... As the souls disintegrate, these sin thorns will expand, perhaps blocking the Source River.
And then he had another thought.
"Huh...what about my experience, system? The soul is gone if it is completely decomposed?"
Aiwass sneered: "It's not like they were all transformed into sin thorns."
But even so, his system panel still did not pop up the window to obtain free experience.
But whatever.
He has no use for such things now.
But at this moment, another window appeared in front of Aiwass:
[The current conversion rate is 55%: The Sin Beast is immune to physical damage, just like a spirit body; you can use the Sin Thorn to extract the opponent's mana; you can break into the Sin Thorn Nail to abolish the extraordinary power of the extraordinary; your
Sin Thorns can capture souls, thereby arresting souls in the material world or salvaging souls from the source river; your Sin Thorns are now indestructible and are regarded as sacred weapons and natural weapons, gaining toughness, sharpness, and penetrating properties.】
…55% conversion rate.
Is it only 15% away from the 70% point of no return?
At this time, as the meteorites on the horizon gradually "grew larger", the size of the giant tree also exceeded the sky.
Aiwass felt the burning pain begin to come from his heart, and the sacred white fire began to burn from his four feet, but it failed to burn the oak tree.
"Just in time."
He said sincerely: "It's more reliable than using the barrier to catch me as I originally thought..."
An extremely bright fire of devotion ignited in his pupils.
The oak tree beneath him seemed to be gradually gaining intelligence—or in other words, the new intelligence was gradually merging with Anastasia.
——That’s close to the size of a “giant tree”!
The power of the Sin Beast alone does not seem to be enough to achieve this miracle...
When the golden oak stands high in the sky like the morning star.
The Sin Beast, which has entered its adult state, also raised its dark wings.
Those are two pairs of wings woven from countless sin thorns.
Starting from Aiwass's body, these sin thorns ignited golden-red flames.
It is also like two flaming hands, raised high to the sky and holding the meteorite!
"A mere meteorite..."
Aiwas gritted his teeth and said, "Watch me push it back!"
The overwhelming and sun-blocking sin thorns were nailed to the meteorite, like silverfish, biting through the stone shell and drilling into it. Fiery fire poured into it, burning the red meteorite that had been rubbed by the air.
More red!
Those thorns of sin are like thorns one after another.
It's like punch after punch, constantly digging into the stone shell!
"Anastasia!"
Aiwas shouted loudly.
"Coming!"
Anastasia appeared next to Aiwass without hesitation, raising her right hand high.
A layer of golden barrier emerged from the huge oak shell, firmly catching the broken meteorite!
Smoke and dust are everywhere.
——The shock wave wrapped in flames formed a ring and spread suddenly in the night!
