Chapter 401 The Quietly Changing Past
“————”
This is a dream.
A dream that does not belong to Aize, but is accepted by him truly as if he were experiencing it himself.
In the dream, Aize turned into Agurola Florestina and experienced her short but wonderful life.
The fourth True Ancestor, Flame Light Night Lord, was a god-killing weapon created by the three True Ancestors and the Celestial Clan. Because of his rebellion against the Celestial Clan, it was split into twelve base bodies, each containing twelve dependent beasts, which were scattered and hidden around the world.
The Matrixes are simple seals, containers for the Fourth Progenitor's familiars, and like the Fourth Progenitor, they are also artificial vampires created by the Celestials.
Agurola Florestina is the container of the twelfth familiar of the Fourth True Ancestor and the base of the twelfth.
She originally had no name and has been sleeping underground on the island of Gozo since she was created.
Gozo Island is part of the Republic of Malta in Europe. It is an island famous for its tourist destination. As a part of the North Sea Empire Federation, it is the oldest demon special zone in the world. It was once a fierce battle zone and has a long history.
In this ancient demon special zone, in an underground tomb, the twelfth matrix of the Fourth True Ancestor is sleeping.
Her sleep lasted until four years ago.
Four years ago, a group of people excavated the underground tomb where the twelfth matrix was sleeping and broke into her sleeping place.
Among this group of people, there are impoverished nobles from the Empire of Night led by the First True Ancestor, the Forgotten War King, as well as experienced archaeologists, and even a pair of young siblings.
That’s right, they are the Akatsuki siblings, Akatsuki Kojou and Akatsuki Nagisa.
The reason they were there was because the archaeologist in charge of the excavation there was their father, Xiaoyacheng.
Because Akatsuki encountered difficulties during the excavation process, he called in Akatsuki Nagisa, who was a hybrid ability user. With the help of her powerful psychic ability, he received the residual consciousness of the creator of the underground tomb, and successfully opened the tomb and entered the stone chamber where the twelfth matrix was located.
Thus, the Akatsuki siblings saw the twelfth matrix for the first time. Akatsuki Kojou even murmured something unconsciously when he saw the other party sleeping in the ice coffin.
"It's just like Sleeping Beauty..."
Thus, Matrix No. 12 received its name.
Agurola Florestina is named after the daughter of King Florestan, Her Royal Highness Princess Aurora, also known as the "Sleeping Beauty".
At this time, Agurola had not woken up yet and was still sleeping.
Until... another group of people broke into the underground tomb.
The Black Death Emperor Faction is a radical terrorist group of orc supremacists. Their goal is to completely destroy the Sanctuary Treaty and seize control of the Night Empire War King territory from the First True Ancestor, the Forgotten War King. They are a group of true warmongers.
In the Gozo Island Ruins incident four years ago, this terrorist group broke into the underground tomb. The leader also killed the impoverished nobles from the War King's Domain who were present at the time, and seriously injured Akatsuki Yajo. Finally, when they intended to kill Akatsuki Kojou and Akatsuki Nagisa, they were killed by Akatsuki Nagisa who forcibly broke the seal of Agurora and brought out its power. The terrorists present were also completely wiped out, and none of them survived.
From then on, Nagisa Akatsuki's fragile body fell ill because she could not withstand such torture, and she moved to Gengami Island with the sleeping Agurola and was supervised by Gengami Island.
“That’s pretty much the same treatment I get.”
Aize thought so while watching this experience.
He also appeared about four years ago and was accepted by the Lion King Agency. He was supervised by the Lion King Agency and transferred to the High God's Temple for study.
"Could it be that it was at that time that Agurola and I had an intersection?"
Aize couldn't help but have this thought.
And everything that happened next confirmed his thoughts.
Before this, everything that Agurola experienced was not much different from the development in the original book.
But here, things took a clear turn.
Aize witnessed with his own eyes that when the sleeping Agurora was sent to Gengami Island, the two had their first and only encounter.
When the plane carrying Agurola flew towards Genkami Island and passed by the dragon vein, Leviathan, who was sleeping there, woke up.
At that time, the seal of Agurola had already been broken once, and the magic power on his body, which was similar to that of Azer, overflowed, causing Azer, who was sleeping in Leviathan, to show signs of waking up.
Leviathan awakened as a result, and following Agurora's magic, appeared on Gengami Island.
Agurora was awakened by Leviathan's magic and also woke up.
As a result, Agurola escaped from the ice coffin, escaped from the transport plane, and disappeared in Gengami Island. Leviathan also entered his body due to Aize's awakening, making him, the container and sacrifice of Leviathan, appear for the first time. He drifted to the coast of Gengami Island and was finally found by the people of the Lion King Agency.
Both of them are containers, one has the world's strongest vampire's familiar sealed in his body, and the other has the world's strongest demon beast sealed in his body.
Both of them were sacrifices, human pillars, and artificially created lives.
Therefore, their magic resonated and awakened at the same time, heading towards different life trajectories.
Aize was taken in by the Lion King Agency, while Agurola wandered around Genkami Island, and finally found Nagisa Akatsuki who was receiving treatment on the island.
The encounter between Agurara and Nagisa Akatsuki is also inevitable.
Because, Akatsuki Nagisa has something on her that Agurora must retrieve.
At that time, no one knew that the reason why Nagisa Akatsuki fell ill was not only because she forcibly drew out Agurora's power, but also because a foreign object appeared in her body.
As an artificial vampire, the fourth true ancestor was a god-killing weapon created jointly by the three true ancestors and the Celestial Clan. In fact, he had several safety devices installed on him to prevent him from endangering his creator.
Among them, there is the Logic Bomb mode used to maintain confidentiality, the Freeze mode that completely deprives the self of its own power and uses it as a source of magic power, and the Original mode, a virtual personality mode that controls the weapon side of the Fourth True Ancestor.
These safety devices were inherited as the basis of the Fourth True Ancestor's vessel, especially the virtual personality, Origin, which was sealed in Agurola's body as a cursed soul.
Agurula, the twelfth base, is the vessel of the twelfth familiar of the Fourth True Ancestor. She is also the monitor of the Fourth True Ancestor and the vessel of the cursed soul, the original.
In the underground tomb of Gozo Island, when Nagisa Akatsuki forcibly broke the seal and brought out Agurora's power, the Primordial that was sealed in Agurora's body woke up, escaped from the seal, and possessed Nagisa Akatsuki, causing Nagisa to fall ill.
After waking up, Agurora gradually realized his mission, so he took the initiative to find Akatsuki Nagisa, wanting to seal the original soul back into his body.
Unfortunately, Nagisa Akatsuki did not agree.
“This was a completely unexpected development.”
Aize didn't expect things to turn out like this.
Akatsuki Nagisa was originally a shrine maiden with extremely excellent qualifications. She had powerful clairvoyance and a strong psychic medium, so she could fully display divine possession and was an excellent spiritual vessel.
She actually knew what was happening to her, because when she was possessed by the Original One, she also gained many memories from the Original One because of the possession by the spirit.
Therefore, she knew about the existence of the Original One, and knew that it was a cursed soul, a highly aggressive and dangerous virtual personality, and that it controlled the Fourth True Ancestor as a weapon. Once it appeared in the world, it would lead to the destruction of all living things.
At the same time, she also knew Agurola's mission and knew that she was a container and a sacrifice. If she sealed the Origin, Agurola would surely die.
After all, the seal of the heavens has been broken, and it will be difficult for Agurola to fall into sleep again. Only by dying with the original cursed soul can the trouble be eliminated forever.
How could a kind girl like Nagisa Akatsuki agree to this?
You know, Agurola has been sleeping since it was created, and has only woken up now.
In other words, Agulola's life, except for this extremely short period of time after waking up, is no different from that of a newborn baby.
In Nagisa Akatsuki's opinion, letting Agurora fulfill his mission is no different from letting a baby die.
In view of this, Nagisa Akatsuki harshly rejected Agurora and had a dispute with Agurora that lasted for three and a half years.
The two had been enemies before, and had dragged everyone around them into it.
The two of them had also turned from enemies to friends. Even though Nagisa was seriously ill at the time, Agurara was still as innocent as a child. They had been to many places together, eaten many things, and encountered dangers together. They helped and benefited each other, and could be said to be supporting each other.
In this process, the two naturally developed an extremely deep bond.
It was not until half a year ago, when the Flame Feast began and all eleven entities except Agurola arrived at Genkami Island, that these beautiful days were broken.
In the Flame Feast, the awakened Original Creatures, with Akatsuki Nagisa as the center, gathered all eleven familiars except the twelfth and were successfully resurrected.
In order to save Nagisa Akatsuki, Agurora, with the help of Akatsuki Kojou and others, fought with the Primordial, and finally succeeded in separating the Primordial's soul and the power of the Fourth True Ancestor from Nagisa Akatsuki, and sealed them in himself.
In the original work, in order to end the Original, Agurora used the irresistible blood curse to control Akatsuki Kojou's body, causing Akatsuki Kojou to shoot the Demon-Breaking Holy Lance, which was created to destroy the True Ancestor, into his own heart, dying together with the Original's soul, and making Akatsuki Kojou the reborn fourth True Ancestor.
But here, because of the on-and-off relationship with Akatsuki Nagisa, which created more entanglements, Akatsuki Kojou did not become Agurora's Blood Servant, which resulted in Agurora being unable to forcibly control others to kill him.
Agurola could only die alone with the identity and power of the Fourth True Ancestor and the use of the Holy Demon-Breaking Spear.
Nagisa Akatsuki tried her best to absorb the soul of Agurora, who would become the complete fourth true ancestor, into her body, saving Agurora's life...
