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 920 My Daughter's Daughter

Chapter 920 My Daughter’s Daughter…

After hearing what Leviathan and Aiwass said, Zhu Tang's expression suddenly became subtle.

Leviathan's words were extremely explosive—and the most mysterious thing was that Aiwass actually agreed!

He couldn't help but open his third eye and carefully looked at the monster called "Leviathan". His subtle expression gradually turned into horror.

This was a terrifying monster he had never seen before—

It resembled a slender dragon or a ferocious shark. Its crescent-shaped wings, sharp as sickles, allowed it to tear through the bodies of others with ease, while also allowing it to glide effortlessly at low altitudes.

Combined with the long spikes on the tail - according to Zhu Tang's experience, this thing might be able to directly impale the prey like a fork does with food.

The rich adaptability of the Path of Love told Zhu Tang... this monster possessed at least the power of the Path of the Fourth Energy Level. Its physical strength far exceeded the average level of the Fourth Energy Level, which meant it had the strength to confront a Fifth Energy Level Transcendent head-on!

Zhu Tang quickly closed his eyes - seeing this was enough.

I even imagined its cruel posture when hunting prey.

It will glide at high speed in the air, and when passing by someone, it will suddenly extend its tail, directly pierce the opponent, and then bring him into his home court high in the sky!

Even in a fight between hunters, it would never be easily defeated. Its terrifying cable-like muscles proved its immense strength—though only four meters tall, it could probably prey on a young dragon over six meters long!

Judging from Zhu Tang's vicious gaze, this thing's main fighting method should be tripping and wrestling.

Because it lacks a large enough mouth and ferocious multiple fangs; although its wings have sharp points, they are not strong enough to easily break through heavy armor. Unless it has the ability to break the magic barrier... Otherwise, this is probably just to increase flight speed.

Instead, its arms were filled with immensely powerful muscles. Its claws were clearly unsuitable for wielding weapons like humans, but its fists wouldn't have much destructive power—thus, this monster known as "Leviathan" likely used its tail and arms to clamp down on its enemies, then soar high into the sky and drop them at breakneck speed, using gravity to injure them.

...And judging by the sound of this monster, it seems to be still a juvenile.

If this monster had an adult form...

What a huge and powerful monster that must be!

But it sounds like His Holiness the Pope is related to it... uh...

Zhu Tang was sweating profusely for a moment.

Did I hear something I shouldn’t have?

As for words like "Mom becomes Dad", he didn't understand them at all, so he filtered them out in his mind.

However, Cardinal Galatea, as the cardinal who signed the contract with the Twin Mirror, her eyes lit up and she guessed what had happened.

...And for Aiwass, he would also feel a little ashamed.

Because "Aleister" is not the whole of Aiwass's consciousness, but the incomplete and immature part of him. Although Aiwass also fully accepts Aleister's existence and misses it...

However, for Aiwass, who has now become whole again, everything that is happening before his eyes... It is like he is in his thirties, has come to terms with his immature past, and has brought his subordinates to his home to help him move.

At this time, I accidentally found a video.

When I opened the video, I found that it was a video of "cold spells and incomprehensible dances" left over from my middle school years.

——This is probably how Aiwass feels at the moment.

On one hand there is silence and shame, and on the other hand there is warmth and nostalgia.

He tilted his head back, trying to hold Leviathan in his arms, intently caressing its body—after Leviathan had grown even more mature and larger, even hugging him became difficult.

"Sharkshark is getting bigger and bigger..."

Aiwass sighed, "I have to find a way to make you smaller."

The best way, of course, is to seal Leviathan into a beast of sin. That way, it will have a traveling form.

However, Aiwass still doesn't know how Aleister will be reborn, so he doesn't dare to occupy the position of a great sin beast.

The Son of the Moon possessed the attributes of wind, earth, and darkness. Now, the Wild Hunt, who controlled storms and thunder, had taken the wind position, while the Night Demon held the dark position. It seemed that the only thing left for Aleister was the earth element.

On the other hand, the Blood Angels were water-attributed beasts. If Aleister were to be reborn as a water-attributed beast, then if they sealed the Leviathan first, they wouldn't be able to seal Aleister.

It is different from the phantoms sealed in other tarot cards.

The original sins carried by the beasts of sin were transferred to the scholars of sin through rituals. The relationship between them became closer... and the contract that had been reached was not so easy to break.

And I have to admit...

Compared to Leviathan, Aleister's priority is naturally higher.

Although Aleister originally created Leviathan to obtain intelligence from it, after all, the core material of Leviathan is the Red Phase Son. It also inherited the other's knowledge and memories.

Logically speaking, Leviathan should just be a tool.

A combat weapon that can perform the function of "searching souls", increase one's own combat power, and also has the chance to seal it into a beast of sin.

...But after Selene actually created it, its meaning gradually became distorted.

Gradually, those "needs" were satisfied or no longer significant. Its significance as a tool declined, while its meaning as a life grew—Aleister sincerely accepted it as her own daughter. She even developed a craving for Leviathan... This was a common trait among those transcendental on the Path of Love, blending all desires into one. This precisely represented her intense love for Leviathan.

This may be because Aleister knew that he could not have children in the conventional sense... After all, Aleister's life was too short, only a few months.

And this feeling now flows out to Aiwas along with the completed soul.

——Aivas made up his mind.

Even if it cannot be sealed into a beast of sin, even if such a huge body makes it quite inconvenient to move... even if Leviathan is a real monster, Aiwass will raise it well!

As if sensing the love in Aiwass's heart, Leviathan laughed and cried out - the sound was like a dolphin.

"Good boy, remember to protect them."

"Okay, Dad."

Leviathan made a clear sound and responded obediently.

"What a good kid..."

Aiwass was full of praise.

I wish his and Isabel's children could be as well-behaved in the future, Aiwas thought.

On the way, they encountered another small wave of lower-level demons - but those more than 30 second-level demons did not even require the Pope's guards to take action, and Leviathan alone bravely solved them all.

It was so fast that even Mudu narrowed his eyes cautiously.

——So fast!

Its starting speed was even faster than Mu's - Leviathan flew into the sky in the blink of an eye with a buzzing sound, and then landed rapidly with a huge buzzing sound like a bomber!

Just one punch - or rather, just keeping its claws extended and slamming down, its strong body smashed the demons one by one!

Even if a plane hit a bird, the interaction would create a large hole in its shell. However, Leviathan appeared completely unharmed and even became more excited!

Its pupils turned scarlet, and the dark blue scales on its body began to swell and glow red. Leviathan let out a piercing roar that was inconsistent with its previous childish voice, and then transformed into a violent gust of wind, knocking away all enemies in sight!

Its fighting style is even more brutal than what Zhu Tang analyzed!

There was no logic at all, it was all based on instinct. Rather than feeling satisfied with "must knock down the enemy," it was more like they were using collisions to relieve an itch.

"…Shedding your skin again, Shark-Shark?"

Selene asked with concern.

The one who knows Leviathan best is naturally his true mother.

——This is also one of the reasons why Aiwass felt embarrassed.

Because "Number 14," the main element that constitutes Aleister's identity, is Selene's mother. Number 14 is the embodiment of Aiwass's skills, which means Aiwass and Selene have a blood relationship and a ritual relationship.

Aleister is Aiwas's incarnation—she has a different nature from No. 14, but at the same time, she inherited No. 14's appearance. She used her own blood, combined with Selene's secrets, to complete the creation of Leviathan...

…Now with Aleister’s return, this generational hierarchy is completely messed up.

What is this called?

My daughter's daughter or my daughter?

“I feel like I’m going to become a Paradox player.”

Aiwass complained.

"Wait... again?"

Zhu Tang also realized something.

"Indeed," Aiwass nodded and sighed, "Last month, the shark was less than two-thirds of its current size. So when I saw it just now, I was shocked."

Before, when Shark went out, he didn't need to bend down at all. But now, he almost has to put all four claws on the ground to crawl out like a lizard.

"Leviathan's evolution is getting faster and faster," Selene said with some worry. "I don't know if this is a good thing."

"Perhaps it was the influence of Yan Tiansi."

Aiwass shook his head. "Anyway, let's take Leviathan to Avalon first. Isabel can take care of her. Be good, Leviathan."

By this time they had returned to the port.

He patted Leviathan's back, then said to Zhu Tang, Mu, and the two Pope's guards, "You guys get on the boat first—return to Avalon."

"And you, Your Majesty?"

One of the Pope's guards asked.

Another said directly: "Our top priority is to protect you."

"No need. I have Cardinal Galatea and Helechin here, so my safety is guaranteed. If they can't help me, then having you here won't make any difference."

Aiwass said seriously, "I have to go to the Ziggurat. I don't know when I'll be back. But it will take at least a few hours, and I'll have to take a lot of people with me."

"Go to Avalon first, or at least leave the coast of Star Antimony. Then find a large ship, or send a few more ships."

As he spoke, Aiwass used high-level divine magic to grant them group invisibility.

"Be careful and come back quickly."

"Take care of yourself."

The Pope's guards looked at each other and realized that this was the best option at the moment.

So they said, "We'll be back soon."

Chapter 1! I'm still writing Chapter 2 on the 6th, and it'll probably be two or three in the morning, but I finally sent it off...

I couldn’t finish writing the update yesterday, so I just considered it as a day off.

The update on the 7th will be back to 12 noon!

Then today we will update at least 7,000 words——
