Chapter 1004: Is Ying Tiansi a good god?
Sin-ridden... This was the signature skill of the Fallen Angels in the past.
The power of the Tao ultimately comes from obsession. Even a celestial official cannot escape punishment for the unresolved "self-attachment" in one's heart, let alone these phantom demons.
Although the power of "Sin" had already dissipated into the material world with the fall of the Fallen Angels... the move used by the Night Demon was actually derived from the fragments of the Fallen Angels left behind. Aside from the fact that its power level was not as high as the Fallen Angels, its essence was not much different.
Even if this is a seventh-level phantom demon, it will be tied up and unable to move!
Only the rustling screams like insects could be heard, and the bound shadow-hunting beast gradually revealed its true form.
Yassen's eyes suddenly widened.
It was a highly abstract monster. It was about three meters tall, headless and legless, with only a dark, furry body resembling a ball of flesh, a long, thick, serpentine tail, and two ferocious claws like scorpion pincers. It looked like a furry scorpion.
At this moment, its body, seemingly unable to withstand the pressure, cracked countless times, leaving only its two claws intact. It actually resembled a collection of countless fluffy moths, bound by the chains of sin and unable to disintegrate freely.
Each crack is actually a black moth flapping its wings, ready to fly; and in each crack, there is an eye of different sizes and colors... Those are the "dreams" that are devoured by it.
"A seventh-level phantom demon... is it so simple?"
Yassen was shocked.
"Don't underestimate this thing."
Aiwass said calmly, "Even the church can't treat the injuries this thing causes. Some people sleep and wake up with splitting headaches, and from then on they lose interest in everything. They only remember that they had a big dream, but they can't remember the specific dream... But some geniuses can also become mediocre because of this.
"That's because they, like us just now... repeatedly lost their way in the dim jungle of dreams, ended up straying into the Land of Shadows. And thus, they became prey to these hidden monsters."
"...Are they subjects of the Queen of Shadow Country? What if..."
Yasen was a little worried that if they caught these things, they would anger Tiansi.
Aiwass understood his implication and looked at Yasen with some surprise.
——Even though this guy is a Phantom Thief, is he so rational and polite?
He thought that the idol of the Iris Man should be a man who was always thinking about freedom and rebellion.
Yasen glanced at Aiwass and understood what he meant.
Mr. Kaito suddenly smiled bitterly: "People will grow up..."
"So, are you still working as a phantom thief?"
"Do."
"Why?"
"Because some people don't understand reason and don't deserve respect. Someone has to kick them like a dog before they can change.
"Also, some real thieves never steal. I'm going to take the money from their homes and give it to those who really need it."
Yasen said softly, "It's not for justice, freedom, or ideals... Those things are too heavy and too frivolous. I'm just good at this, and I just happen to be able to do it."
"Just because you can do it, you do it?"
Aiwass asked with a smile.
"right."
Yasen said frankly: "If I can do it but don't do it, what's the difference between me and those people?"
“You are indeed a dedicated person.”
Aiwass praised, then comforted him, "Don't worry, the Queen doesn't like them. On the contrary, these monsters are what she hates the most... She will send her own warriors to subjugate them."
"...Why?" Upon hearing this, Yasen was a little surprised.
As a person from Iris, he must have heard the legend of the Shadow Kingdom.
That is the life that the "People of Love" yearn for most - fighting each other unscrupulously, hunting huge prey, and being resurrected after dying in battle; after the fierce battle is over, they can enjoy a banquet, eat barbecue and drink wine, and after eating and drinking enough, they may even be favored by the queen.
There was no need to think, no problems, and no danger. Day after day, I enjoyed the process of taming my animal instincts and reason.
Occasionally, if you feel hungry, you can go to Yan Tiansi for a meal - for Yan Tiansi, as long as you follow his rules, everyone is a guest.
There is just one thing, and that is you are not allowed to go to Xue Tiansi to enjoy yourself... After all, to Ying Tiansi, these warriors all belong to her.
There's just one weird thing...
Why is this Queen of Shadow Country so peaceful, staying at home every day? Is she the God of Vengeance? Is it simply because she's jealous and petty?
"Because Ying Tiansi is not actually an evil god."
Aiwass said softly.
"...The Goddess of Vengeance is a good god?!"
Yassen was shocked.
"No, that's not necessarily the case..."
Aiwass shook his head: "She is not a good god, but at least she is not an evil god."
Even though in the original world line, Shadow Tiansi went mad and destroyed Avalon... objectively speaking, the culprit should actually be Huan Tiansi, followed by Jacob and Vivian, and then Merlin who did not maintain the system properly.
For Ying Tiansi, the thought of her descending into a man's body—especially one of her former lovers—was enough to drive her crazy, not to mention the fact that she couldn't go back after being pulled down.
——That is her castle, her kingdom, her world!
The souls of the Path of Love were known to be promiscuous and lustful. She had also specifically selected the most handsome, strong, lustful, and beautiful souls to become her warriors and witches.
When she was in the Shadow Kingdom, these people were her property... But she can't go back. Even if there is a possibility of resurrection in the distant future, can these people still keep themselves clean for her in these hundreds or thousands of years?
Just think about it and you will know that it is impossible!
They are all outstanding souls on the path of love!
——There are cows, there are cows!
And it was a cuckoldry of at least thousands of people, lasting for hundreds of years—the moment she was dragged down, it was all set in stone. Even if she could be resurrected in the future, the Path node occupied by the Celestial Master would have been returned to the material world, meaning she would no longer be a Celestial Master after her resurrection. By then, would she still be able to collect so many handsome men and beautiful women?
Just think about it and you will know that it is impossible - she is lucky enough not to be collected by her former lover.
So it was perfectly reasonable for Ying Tiansi to have lost his temper. This was also the reason why Aiwass hadn't thought about pulling her down.
As the God of Vengeance, she holds music parties at home every day... This is probably the reason why Dream World HR Huan Tiansi laid her off, and it is also the reason why Aiwass does not want her to die.
"The Queen doesn't possess the power of revenge, nor does she aspire to become the Goddess of Vengeance. She's the exact opposite of the Fallen Angels... because she's a hedonist herself, she dislikes acts of revenge, and doesn't want others to take them haphazardly... That's why she took the position of Goddess of Vengeance, monopolizing the power of revenge... This is to keep the acts of revenge under control and prevent them from spreading too far."
The person who spoke at this time was not Aiwass, but Vines.
In the dream world, the Night Demon no longer has "existential restrictions." She can appear and fight as she pleases, without being restricted, and she doesn't even need Aiwass to provide mana - the dream world is the source of mana.
Although she is now a Night Demon, she was once a Shadow Demon. In addition to living in the domain of the Fallen Angels, a large number of Shadow Demons also live in the Kingdom of Shadows.
From this perspective, Vignes is actually half a local.
It's like a recent college graduate—even though she wasn't born or raised here, she worked and rented a house here for a few years after graduation. Even if she doesn't have time to explore the entire city, she probably knows which restaurants on the streets have good food.
This is actually one of the reasons why Aiwass released Vignes.
“There’s a reason for this.”
Aiwass then explained softly: "Because she is a giant."
If Yassen were an Avalonian, he would surely understand what he meant immediately.
But he just scratched his head in confusion: "Giant...what happened to the giant?"
Aiwass smiled meaningfully.
——Then we have to ask Mr. Wild Hunter, who is now sealed in a small card by Aiwass.
