Chapter 669 The Beast Master's Unfinished Work

Aiwass remembered that as a moon witch, Selene's attributes should be dark and water.

...If his little lamb is sealed into a big beast, then Aiwass can omit the water-attribute big beast.

However, Aiwass knew that both the Star Antimony Kingdom and the Narcissus Territory had a large water-attributed beast that could be captured.

The former is a water elemental lord imprisoned by an alchemist, while the latter is a foul blood angel bred in a pool of blood created underground when the Moon Child ruled Narcissus Territory. The former is on the path of balance, while the latter is on the path of love. Both appear relatively late in the game, so it's clear that they at least have the potential to increase their level.

But Aiwass still doesn't know what kind of abilities Selene has - the Moon Witch inheritance is entirely possible to be an auxiliary inheritance, and an auxiliary will actually be more helpful to Aiwass if he doesn't become a big beast.

Just like after the Shadow Demon was sealed and turned into the Night Demon, she could no longer stay with Aiwass all the time.

——Even if we don’t think from a utilitarian perspective, Aiwass doesn’t necessarily have to seal Selene.

Although after being sealed into a great beast, the other party can grow with Aiwass - if Aiwass is finally deified, they will ascend together. But that also means that the fate of both parties is bound together from now on.

The Shadow Demon had a contract with Aiwass, and if the Butterfly wasn't sealed, both she and Yulia would die. Just as the Earthbound Spirit longed to leave the hotel, so did Anastasia... If she wasn't sealed, she would soon be completely transformed into a tree, a fate she hated.

Currently, the only Phantom Demon Cards that have been forcibly sealed by Aiwass are the two pure enemies, the Punisher and the Succubus.

As for the two phantom demons Aiwas had his eye on… although Aiwass wasn't entirely sure what their specific crimes were, since they were both the main dungeon bosses, it meant they must have done something. Whether it was to prevent disaster, address calamity, or prevent tragedy, capturing them was perfectly acceptable.

Even if they were good phantoms—going there early to help them solve their problems would be a good idea, so sooner or later Aiwass would have to go there anyway. After all, there were no players at the moment, and if he left it alone, something serious might happen.

So Aiwass made up his mind——

Anyway, let's take a look at those two "Great Beast Candidates" first. Even if they can't seal a Great Beast, at least they can be made into ordinary Phantom Demon Cards.

If all else fails, ask Selene for her advice. She's already attached to Aiwass, so there's no need to worry about accidentally losing it. Just keep it close by and watch over it... You can also use the pastoral method to feed it blood.

"One more thing, Cyril."

Aiwass said to Cardinal Cyril, "As for Lily... I actually have an idea."

He told Cyril what he was thinking.

"You are very knowledgeable, so I would like to ask... am I right?"

"...You finished reading the Spider's Silk Scripture in just one night?"

Old Cyril showed a look of surprise on his face: "No wonder..."

Aiwass caught his subtext and guessed his implication: "You mean -?"

"Actually, Aiwass, you are very close to the answer." Cyril just replied with a smile.

Looking at the old man's expression, Aiwass felt relaxed.

But he still asked: "Is it the Beast Master? Or the Gray Sky Master?"

"Both."

replied old Cyril.

——Between “yes” and “no”, he chose “or” without hesitation.

“…all of them?”

"You've asked the right person this question."

Old Cyril boasted, "I can tell you this—there are probably no more than three people in this world who know this secret. Cardinal Loki and I are among them."

——Loki?

A hint of doubt flashed through Aiwas' mind, and then he continued listening.

"I don't know if you've ever heard of this rumor... If you haven't, let me start from the beginning."

The smile on Cardinal Cyril's face gradually faded, and his expression became serious: "Do you know about the 'Death of the Gray Sky Master'?"

"...Are you talking about the war against the Supreme Heaven?"

"It seems you know, that's great."

Cardinal Cyril nodded in agreement. "But Gray Sky Master is not actually dead—his death is also a lie."

"I know."

Aiwass answered with certainty.

Of course he knew - he remembered it clearly. Among the first round of Celestial Officials who were dragged down by the Tail Ring Ceremony was Gray Celestial Official.

He was very impressed by Hui Tiansi.

There's no other reason, and it has nothing to do with the plot...it's simply because Hui Tiansi's image is very good-looking.

In the first phase, Gray Sky is a long-haired woman wearing a white-gray veil, covering half of her face like a fortune teller. In the second phase, her clothes are completely devoured by spiders, leaving only the key parts entangled in spider silk.

She was tied to a giant grey spider, as if she had been kidnapped by it, or was riding on it to fight... Her fair body glowed in the dark, and her body, suspended by the spider silk, had a deformed beauty like a marionette under the spider's high-speed movement.

——Honestly, it's hard to forget. It was almost the most beautiful boss at the time.

While browsing the forum, Aiwas heard another story - Gray Tiansi, who was known as the "Lord of Hanging" and the "Mother of Manipulation", was actually a man!

Everything went dark.

All I can say is that everything went dark before my eyes.

It was for this reason that Aiwass remembered the setting that "Gray Sky's true form is actually Gray Mist".

"...You know?"

Cardinal Cyril was a little confused: "How did you know?"

But when he saw Aiwass's extremely confident reaction, he knew that this was not something he said casually.

So Cyril shook his head: "Forget it, it doesn't matter... You just need to know that Gray Sky Master is 'definitely dead, but He is also definitely alive'."

"He's reincarnated?"

Aiwass guessed: "Lily is his reincarnation?"

"...It's not that simple. This matter is also related to the Beast Master... If you initiate a high-level divine art with Hengwo, you will know that Hengwo and the Beast Master are actually two pillar gods in one. In reality, the Beast Master has not been completely replaced by Hengwo, just as the desire for 'love' in the mortal world is also filled with the desire of 'beast'.

"But sometimes the Beast Master would suddenly wake up from his 'love,' and at that moment, he would try to break free from my control. What the Beast Master did was to prepare the 'Son of the Beast.'

"To put it simply...don't you humans have some 'natural born killers'?"

"right."

Aiwass nodded.

He thought of Jack the Ripper... and many more perverts.

However, he was a little puzzled by the term "you humans," so he asked, "Only humans?"

"Yes, only humans. Because you humans are the children of the Snake Father and Hengwo. But Hengwo does not fully control the River of Creation, just like the Silver Crown Dragon in the past. She does not have the ability to independently create a race... The monsters, werewolves, and moon children created by Hengwo actually exist by relying on other races.

"In reality... humans are the Beast Master's unfinished work. That's why you humans have instinctive 'beastly desires'."
