During a ritual to summon demons, Aihuas finally recalled memories of his previous life.
This was supposed to be an online game developed and operated by his own company for six years. Now, h...
Chapter 1137 Don Quixote is not a firecracker!
After defeating the Blood Sky Master - strictly speaking, after defeating the Son of Nothingness together with the Blood Sky Master and resolving the crisis caused by the Blood Sky Master's arrival in another sense, Aiwass did not just leave Iris.
There's no particular reason.
——I just don’t want others to take advantage of me.
After the arrival of the Blood Sky Officer, he killed all of Iris's Sons of the Moon - although some of them had transformed into fog monsters and thus survived, the upper echelons of the "Healthy Party" controlled by the Sons of the Moon were almost directly evaporated.
Even in Iris, the existence of the Moon Child cannot be made clear.
After all, they were monsters that sucked human blood. Their existence could never be completely legitimate—acknowledging their legitimacy would implicitly mean admitting that humans had become their food.
Therefore, the Iris Moon Children chose a different approach: they manipulated the media and parliament to prevent the news from being released, using their social influence to control the direction of the investigation. This prevented their identities as Moon Children from being revealed, and even if they were, they couldn't prove it. Even if they did, they could deny it by saying, "That's all fake news."
But now, the extinction of the Moon Children can no longer be concealed.
Before, the lower classes hadn't noticed what was happening... But after so many days, and with the announcement from Sand Clock, the news of Blood Sky Master's death and the extinction of the Moon Child could no longer be concealed. When people realized what had happened, public opinion exploded almost instantly—the news spread throughout the Iris Kingdom in almost a day.
The keynote of the Iris Kingdom is the two-party system.
As the "Healthy Party" was forced to reveal the fact that all its top leaders were Sons of the Moon, and it completely lost the political power to cover up the matter... that meant that the "Giant Tree Party" on the opposite side suddenly took off.
They didn't do anything, and the enemy party exploded!
Those who have reached this position are all talented people. Perhaps they don't dare to take the initiative to do something... but when the opportunity comes, if they don't seize it, they will be a waste.
They immediately began to publicize the crimes of the Moon Children, the unforgivable sins they had committed, which of their own had been assassinated or persecuted by the Moon Children, and the price they had paid for fighting the Moon Children...
These words can't be said to be wrong. But in reality, they haven't really done anything meaningful. They don't even dare to expose someone as a child of the moon.
Because the Moon Children are tightly knit and would seek revenge for one another's deaths. But they aren't... and they simply can't be. Whoever exposes the other's identity, angering the Healthy Party, will likely be abandoned by the Giant Tree Party in the face of their reckless and concentrated retaliation.
You didn't take action when fighting the Son of the Moon, but you were the first to jump out and take credit when the Son of the Moon died.
It’s none of your business!
In that case, Aiwas will have to stay for a few more days.
Give them some eye drops.
Aiwass felt he had a pretty good temper; he'd rarely murdered an entire family—though the Moon Child didn't count. He didn't have anything too urgent to do right now. Although a benevolent leader in the ancient Parthian Empire had invited Aiwass to visit, it didn't matter if he left things alone. Going too soon would seem overly attentive.
Although he had only been Pope for a month, he was still the legitimate Eternal Pope and a former leader still recognized by the Eternal Theocracy. According to etiquette, he should have sent a letter and taken the initiative to visit the Pope and meet with Aiwass in the Theocracy. Although Aiwass was "invited" to visit, this incident already showed that he was somewhat arrogant.
Aiwass could understand.
The Tail Ring Ceremony has only just begun, and the Wall of Balance has never been breached since its creation.
The sixth level of the Path of Devotion has always existed, passed down from generation to generation; but the sixth level of transcendence is truly unique in four thousand years... the world's first! Even in a game, being number one, being the first to open a dungeon, and being hyped up on video sites and forums for days is commonplace, not to mention the real world.
For a benevolent master who already lives like an emperor and is coaxed by others every day, it would be strange if he didn't get carried away - then Aiwass would have to suspect whether he was going to do something big.
I understand, but I don't want to spoil it. Anyway, let it hang out for a few days.
On the other hand, with the information provided by Aiwas, Grand Duke Argon de Vendôme began to hunt down the extraordinary people on the path of love in advance.
The reason was simple. Those who were high-ranking in the Path of Love could only join the Healthy Party, or else they would be easily persecuted. The way they were persecuted was also simple: if they were killed by the Moon Child and then resurrected, they would automatically join the Healthy Party.
So they have no choice at all.
The old duke had already foreseen the future—if the Path of Love didn't have the potential to break through its limits, then it would be fine. He could simply put all the blame on the Healthy Party. The attacks of the Giant Tree Party and the fanaticism of the Hawkeye Organization were simply impossible to stop.
But if these transcendents on the Path of Love still had a chance to rise again... that would mean they would most likely retaliate immediately after reaching the sixth level. At that point, the entire nation might be thrown into chaos. Because it's the Moon Children who actually need the nation to exist, while individual transcendents don't care... let alone those on the Path of Love, who are inherently impulsive and care about "love and hate."
If they really care enough about power and the overall situation, they will embark on the path of authoritarianism.
Each of these people is an Uchiha, and you never know when an indescribable, super-powerful lunatic will show up.
While waiting for the Giant Tree Party to cause trouble, Aiwass began to organize his cards with peace of mind, and took Isabelle to rest for a few days at the Vendôme family.
He recorded the newly evolved Aleister and Don Quixote into the Book of Law. Previously, in order to facilitate the instant summoning of Don Quixote when fighting against the Blood Sky Master, Aiwass did not record him in, just like the Shadow Cloak was never recorded in.
Taking out a book to cast a spell and taking out a card to cast a spell, although the time is almost the same, the concealment is different.
As a result, only the last four cards are left in the Book of Law.
——The Magician, the Queen, the Hermit, the Tower.
The time to recharge the Book of Law has finally arrived (17/21).
Don Quixote, who was logged in, and Aleister, who had evolved, also gained new abilities due to the sacred properties of the Book of Law.
That is the ability called "Official Entry".
Just like when the Night Stalker officially enters the game, he can curse everyone with vulnerability; when the Wild Hunt King officially enters the game, he can summon "Herchin's followers" to launch a charge. The "official entry" of the Flame-Butterfly requires a death first. When it officially enters the game as an Unburnable Butterfly in the Ashes, it can deal huge damage to all burning enemies.
Aleister's original official entry ability was meaningless—it was a Blood Angel ability that could heal Aiwass, the summoner, upon entry. This was also the Moon Child's unique "self-healing ability," but it was completely useless to Aiwass.
But as she obtained the Tiansi fragment, this ability also evolved.
The original healing effect has been changed to "instantly heal and berserk all nearby allies." The Night Demon's vulnerability to the curse remains unchanged, but the vulnerability level has increased from LV4 to LV7. This means that no one below the seventh energy level will be immune to the curse, and the first energy level curse can also be applied to seventh energy level transcendents, and the effect will be greatly improved.
They can only be said to be relatively useful, but not too useful. For Aiwass now, they are just a bonus, and for the Sinful Beast who already possesses the Celestial Fragment, they are not as useful as the Authority.
Don Quixote's formal entry ability is surprisingly useful.
[Effect: Every time the Holy Sword Holder enters or leaves the battlefield, he will leave behind a phantom to protect his teammates from damage.]
Aihua specially tested this ability.
Its real effect is more useful than its literal meaning - in simple terms, it can summon two Don Quixotes at the same time, one phantom to resist damage, while the other can switch swords to axes to attack. The Don Quixote that resists damage can't withstand much damage, can't be healed, and will disappear once it is damaged... but at least it can be regarded as giving Don Quixote some combat effectiveness.
The auxiliary ability of the Holy Sword Clarent is quite strong, and it can increase the damage by 50% when hitting someone.
However, when Don Quixote is summoned, he usually needs to resist damage rather than burst damage. Once he uses his active effect to create absolute defense, he will self-destruct, and still cannot achieve the considerable damage increase.
But now it’s different.
Don Quixote leaves behind a shadow of light upon entering and leaving the battlefield, resisting damage. If it successfully blocks damage with its holy sword, it remains unharmed and unbroken. If it fails to block a single attack, it will explode.
When the afterimage exists, Don Quixote can use his axe to deal damage, or he can use his sword to assist... In this way, at least he doesn't have to explode as soon as he lands on the ground, and his practicality is greatly improved.
This is indeed the case - ever since Don Quixote and Aleister, Aiwass has been less fond of summoning the King of the Wild Hunt.
Aleister is faster than the Wild Hunt King, while Don Quixote is more effective as a tank that can both absorb and deal damage. In terms of pure damage, both are weaker than the Wild Hunt King... but Aiwass isn't lacking in damage. After all, if he really wants to deal damage, why not summon the Flame-Butterfly?
In terms of damage alone, Venies and Aleister, who completed their sublimation with the fragments of Tiansi, are not as good as the little butterfly who did not get the fragments of Tiansi.
Aiwass had rarely used the Wild Hunt Lord's upright summoning effect—transforming himself into an incorporeal form and immersing himself in the spirit world, unable to cause damage to the physical realm and unable to be targeted or damaged by most physical attacks. As for the lifestealing effect, which was better than nothing, it wasn't very important to Aiwass, who had no shortage of recovery.
Because Aiwass's most difficult enemy battles were in group fights, and before Don Quixote showed up, he was usually the defender. He couldn't run—if he retreated to the spirit world, his teammates would suffer. Now he can run, but Don Quixote's defense is still quite reliable, so there's no need to run...
This active skill is not very useful.
This skill needed to be re-optimized using the Celestial Fragment—just like when Aleister equipped the Celestial Fragment, his "Holy Blood Manipulator," which could manipulate blood like Moon Spirit Marrow, became "Holy Blood Baptism," which could animate inanimate objects. It couldn't be said to have become stronger or weaker, because these abilities were completely different.
"A wind-attributed Celestial Master..."
Aiwass muttered, lost in thought.
While Aiwass was calming down, the situation of Iris began to deteriorate as he had expected.
The first organization to start having problems was the Hawkeye organization.
I accidentally fell asleep, Chapter 1! I've already written 3,000 words for the transition chapter, but I can't stop writing it...
I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep first, and then I'll write the second chapter when I wake up. Starting tomorrow, I'll update during the day, because I have to go out on the 26th...
