The Shepherd's Covenant

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 1284 Supreme Host Plato

Chapter 1284 Supreme Host Plato

“…It’s truly incredible.”

The handsome knight on a white horse whispered.

——That was Lancelot.

He had met Aiwass once before at a promotion ceremony.

But Lancelot never thought at that time... that after only half a year, when he met Aiwass again, both sides would be in such a position.

Guinevere, a blonde girl with elf ears, sat sideways behind him, her arm around his waist.

"Lancelot."

Hearing this, she tucked her hair at the temples, looked at the waves with a determined gaze, and whispered softly, "I will be with you."

They are two-in-one celestial officials - neither of them alone is enough to be a celestial official.

As the driving force behind the expansion of the Source River concept, Lancelot possessed the stature and achievements worthy of becoming a Celestial Master. He was the first monarch of the Kingdom of Knights, the chief knight of King Arthur's Silver-Crowned Dragon, the most perfect knight... It could be said that he personified the very concept of "knighthood" and was instrumental in ensuring its continued existence to this day.

Based on the concept of the source river of violence, both the path of authoritarianism and the path of war have their place.

Many celestial officials themselves are not that powerful... For example, the Shang Tiansi, the Dongtiansi, and the Wu Tiansi. They all have special great achievements, expanding the concept of source river in the material world, and have the potential to become substitutes for the pillar gods.

But in terms of strength, none of them could defeat the Candle Apostle Carstenning in a one-on-one fight, not to mention Odin or the feast master of that year.

From this perspective, it is actually very appropriate for Lancelot to become a knight.

There is a problem however.

That is because he stayed in the Shadow Kingdom for too long in a half-dead state.

As a living being, he had survived in the shadowy "underworld" for far too long, becoming more or less ingrained with the path of love. Having been separated from the living for so long, his heart had grown cold, his personality becoming calm and quiet, no longer possessing the obsession and passion of his youth.

——Just like the dark, silent, dead earth back then.

At this moment, Guinevere, who had become a Candle Apostle, ignited her soul and once again dedicated the original light and fire to him, awakening his memory, consciousness and impulse as a knight.

Lancelot, who was imbued with the power of the Path of Love, resonated with Guinevere, who also had the power of the Path of Love, precisely because he resonated with the Path of Love - they used "love" as a link, and their souls became one.

In a way, Lancelot's story is also somewhat similar to Aiwass's.

Around him, there was a thick gray fog that was reminiscent of Silent Hill.

And floating high in the gray fog was the great wizard Hassan.

Hassan had lost more than just his left arm—now he was completely limbless, his arms and legs shaped like human hands and feet, formed from the four geometric shapes of wind, earth, water, and fire. Behind him, a constantly shifting geometric pattern formed a magical circle, while a white pentagram adorned his forehead, and a white glow shone from his pupils.

He kept analyzing everything in front of him, silent and frowning... It seemed that this question was quite tricky.

"—Aren't you going to transform back into your original form, Plato?"

A man's steady voice was heard from the gray fog.

If Aiwass could hear, he would hear...it was the voice of Cardinal Loki.

Just like the fusion of Yuan Tiansi and Aiwass, Hui Tiansi also became one again.

The fragments of the Celestial Master that Gray Celestial Master once left to the Lord of Scales and Feathers, along with his lost power, have been given to Cardinal Loki, one of the resurrected people he chose.

Cardinal Loki was the only one among his chosen successors who fully understood what Gray Sky Master was going to do...who saw through his lies and his "magic tricks." And the Lord of Scales and Feathers also gave him the crucial "key."

——And now, the key and the lock fit together again.

Because he is not truly dead, Gray Sky's memory, will, and divine essence exist throughout the world along with the lies that permeate the material world. Every liar, every magician, every writer may be his incarnation.

It is by this method of incarnation that he exists in the gap between life and death.

Just as Haibasha said... Gray Sky's explanation of the lie has reached the realm of the Pillar God. Even the Pillar God can't see through his lies.

"—Because it is your own heart that deceives you. When you firmly believe a lie, even if you see more evidence or more flaws, you will never doubt your belief.

"—The more steadfast one's heart is on the path, the more difficult it is to escape from lies."

Because the name of this lie is "hope" itself.

Neither black nor white, silent nor speechless——

But even though it has no words, no essence, no reality, people still believe - there is still hope.

With Loki and Gray Sky Si merging once again, no one knew what to call Him now. No one knew who their true forms were after the fusion, or how they merged... but this was precisely a fusion of "the tail of a snake and the snake."

He inherited everything from Cardinal Loki and everything from Gray Sky Master.

Therefore, He was able to know the secret of the Geometry God, that is, "This is not the true form of the Geometry God."

And Geometry Tiansi also replied calmly:

Answer 1: This is meaningless. Reverting to the original form would only increase heat dissipation efficiency by a maximum of 8%, and would likely expose more weaknesses. 29% of the respondents agreed.

"Answer 2: We are deeply analyzing the individual named 'Hassan''s' understanding of the physical world. This will help us understand the current situation and provide new answers. 48% of the respondents agreed.

"Question 1: What is the probability that you are the original Gray Sky Master Autolycus?"

"Question 2: Have you prepared a countermeasure? Or do you need me to arrange it?"

The calm voice of Jihe Tiansi sounded.

If the Geometry God fully reveals its true form, it will become an ever-changing construct composed of many regular polyhedron crystals.

——Because Geometry Tiansi is originally a construct.

In a sense, Geometry Tiansi is a wizard tower host that has become a spirit.

Its components are identical to those of the Star Crystal People. In other words, the Star Crystal People's manufacturing technology originated from Geometry Tiansi... It can be considered the Star Crystal People's "Unit-01".

When the Tower of Babel collapsed, many surviving Winged Mages took the Tower of Babel's legacy with them and left. Some of them went to Rest in Peace, where they continued the Forbidden Mage tradition... but some did not stray too far, finding a towering tree on an uninhabited island and building a second Mage Tower within it.

That land is now the Eternal Kingdom. It is also the "ruins" that the Kingdom now forbids outsiders from entering: the Sixth and Seventh Rings.

They teach the newly born elves, just as the pillar gods of the past taught them.

However, the life of the winged ones has an end.

After Taiyi's death, no new winged beings could be born. They died one by one... and one by one, their souls were transferred into the last unhatched crystal, preserving their consciousness, knowledge, and computing power, creating the "Supreme Host" Plato.

——It can be said that "Plato" itself is the common cohesion of the consciousness of these ancient magicians.

Though a construct, He was not a machine devoid of emotion or soul. Quite the contrary, He possessed within Him numerous emotions and souls—men, women, young, and old. Yet, Geometry Celestial Master had not unified these consciousnesses into a single, chaotic one.

Because they possess so many consciousnesses, the Geometry Celestial Beings are actually a council. This is why they send geometric fragments into the material world to expand their power and concepts, and why they manipulate the souls of numerous sages through near-slavery to perform calculations for them, thereby replenishing their computing power.

These ruthless actions are the "optimal solution".

"I'm waiting for Miss Lily to completely hide those mortals."

Loki chuckled softly, and a deep, magnetic voice echoed through the gray fog: "Before attacking the Abyss, He won't take any real action against us. At most, He will just drown us in the sea..."

With the coming of the Heavenly Master, the Heavenly Master's domain also came.

The territory of Gray Sky Master is the "Gray Nest".

That was the activity nest opened by the former Gray Sky Secretary. It could appear anywhere in the dream world and simulate any form.

And now, they existed within this mist. This was an infinite folding of space, and Lily relied on her mastery of the spider silk secrets to hide the Red Hand gang, thus escaping this irresistible wave.

"Now... it's almost done. The ceremony should be ready..."

The voice within the gray fog said, "Let the red of disaster descend first."

I've finished writing it! It's a little late, but it has more words (hands on hips)
