Chapter 1115 The Newly Born Sixth Energy Level
Even if he deliberately let the game go, Aiwass couldn't delay for too long.
On June 5th, Aiwass finally took Isabelle and Sherlock to the Iris Kingdom and stayed at the Vendôme Palace.
It wasn't that he didn't want to delay it any longer, nor was it that he softened his heart after seeing the Son of the Moon being desperately hunted down by the Blood Sky Master...
The main reason was that Xue Tiansi killed too quickly. In less than five days, he had killed everyone from top to bottom.
There was no product manager to set any requirements for this guy, but he volunteered to work overtime, working overtime for a hundred hours straight, and finished the work after four nights!
It was really funny. When Aiwass heard the news, he almost laughed out loud.
Now, all the Moon Sons in Iris, except those who hid in corners and it would be a waste of time to find them, have been found and killed by the Blood Sky Master.
Their vaunted ability to hide was practically useless in front of their ancestors; their immortality, once their blood was drained, transformed them into white stone statues. The power of the Moon Children—their accumulated "blood and energy"—became a scarce source of sustenance, drained away by the Blood Sky Servant.
...Apart from that, Xue Tiansi unexpectedly did not do anything excessive.
It's not like the Fallen Angels' arrival, where they reign supreme and bring the nation to the brink of collapse; nor is it like the Shadow Angels in another worldline, where they permeate the land with their own domain, transforming the material world into a realm suited to them...
Even Aiwass couldn't help but feel doubtful - this guy seemed to be a pretty good person.
No one knows what Xue Tiansi did after that. After killing almost everyone, he quietly disappeared in the crowd and could not be found no matter how hard we tried.
Because all of Xue Tiansi's original summoners were dead, he had now lost contact with everyone. No one knew where he had gone, or whether he was planning to make some big news.
After all, the Iris flowers are now completely caught up in the chaos of fighting for power.
No one cared about the disappearance of the Blood Sky Master... After so many Moon Children were killed by the Blood Sky Master, the entire political situation in Iris Flower had undergone earth-shaking changes.
"Iris is completely messed up."
Yasin sighed, "Even Hawkeye seems to be splitting up... They invited me back to sit in on their meeting a while ago. I just can't stand them anymore. Luckily I quit Hawkeye a long time ago, otherwise I would have exploded."
"After all, in essence, it's just a gang of scumbags like deadbeats, liars, robbers, killers, thugs, human traffickers, rapists, and so on."
Sherlock commented calmly and sarcastically, "The average educational level is about 100%; they've probably killed more people than they can spell—if you count their own names as words. I mean... I think they've killed at least one person per person."
"Then you might be underestimating them. I'm not talking about the word, the other one."
Yasen complained, "You Avalonians are still too cultured. I'm not cultured, so I never beat around the bush when I curse people. For example, I always feel like their brains are like they've been soaked in pig manure and turned into large intestines - after all, we are colleagues, so I don't want to curse too much. But this time it's really outrageous..."
"Let me guess..."
After some thought, Isabel asked, "Are there some who want to transform themselves into professional assassin organizations, some who want to hunt the Son of the Moon abroad, or some who intend to imitate the Son of the Moon and seize power by force?"
"There's also a group of people trying to extort protection money from companies across the country... Ha."
Yasen sighed helplessly. "They're already starting to argue about a split even though the Blood Sky Division hasn't even been dealt with yet. They haven't even thought about it carefully. Without the Moon Child, what's the point of Hawkeye still existing? These cowards who are so cowardly they cancel kill orders when faced with a target too strong to kill have no chance of ever going to the battlefield.
"Next door is the newly established New Herasil Empire... Honestly, even if one of them said something like 'Let's go to Herasil', I wouldn't feel that bad."
"That's normal."
Aiwass said leisurely, "After all, they don't know that their own boss is the Speaker - or perhaps this is why the Speaker never reveals his true information to the Hawkeye Organization."
He asked Yasin, "Can I see the newspaper?"
"Yes, here."
Yasen patted the frame beside him. "To prevent any problems before they happen... I've collected the top five best-selling newspapers every day. Take your time to look through them. I've arranged them by date..."
"Tsk tsk, it's really spectacular."
Aiwass clutched the diary, which resembled an account book, and sighed, "The Healthy Party's organizational structure has been completely cut in half. Not a single member above the middle level remains. It will probably be difficult for them to rise again from now on."
Even many high-level leaders of other parties were discovered by the Blood Sky Division to be fake identities that had been replaced by the Son of the Moon for a long time, and were suddenly killed.
Even within the ducal families of Vendôme and others, several well-hidden Moon Children were apprehended. This earned the praise of the old dukes, as it was difficult for them to catch the traitors themselves.
Some families only lost four or five people, while some families were almost wiped out - except for a very small number of minors who had not yet been transformed, all the Sons of the Moon were killed by the Blood Sky Officer.
At this time, it can be seen who is truly resisting the Son of the Moon and who has already quietly surrendered.
Even the protective barriers of several universities in Iris were easily circumvented by Xue Tiansi, and even failed to trigger an early warning.
The barriers and rituals set up within the university proved powerless to stop an enraged Celestial Master, now nearly at the sixth level. A single touch from him would cause a literal explosion, tainting the ceiling and transforming into a stream of pure blood energy that was absorbed by the Blood Celestial Master. They were none other than the Moon Children hidden within the school, and of course, no one had discovered this before.
You should know that in Iris, identity verification is usually required for university admission.
This is to prevent the Moon Child from sneaking in. And now that the Moon Child has sneaked in, he will try to get his classmates to act as actors to avoid being hunted by the Blood Sky Division.
After all, in a relatively closed environment like a school, any epidemic that can replicate itself will become difficult to detect - it will be difficult to find and catch.
This idea is actually very good, but the execution is different.
Because a considerable number of Iris locals said that they don't care about such people and want to go overseas; some people feel that they lack talent and their income is too low, and at most they can only get by... Even if they graduate, they will not become the rare upper-level extraordinary people.
It’s better to just do it!
At least the time saved during rest time is real.
Furthermore, some of the Moon Children in the university were likely deliberately placed there—they hoped to become Moon Children themselves. Each of them believed that if they successfully transformed, they would surely become formidable warriors… just like the other two heroes in the legend.
Thus, a very strange situation occurred in the Iris Kingdom: the lower classes didn't even notice what was happening, but nearly two-thirds of the "upper class" were wiped out. Every family was missing several people, more than a third of company executives were wiped out, and nearly half of the officials, ministers, and grassroots civil servants in various departments had "disappeared."
This number is extremely terrifying - it means that half of Iris's ruling class have been quietly transformed into Moon Children.
This is even when the Prime Minister himself is the leader of the Hawkeye organization.
“This is probably a kind of cause and effect cycle.”
Sherlock scoffed. "Back when the Iris people launched their first rebellion, they failed to wipe out all the nobles here, leaving behind a legacy of trouble. Since they're determined to do it, they might as well do it to the end... Leaving anyone alive would just be perpetuating a cycle of hatred, wouldn't it? Now we're almost completely wiped out."
"From this point of view, I quite admire Xue Tiansi. If you want to kill, then kill thoroughly, otherwise don't do it at all. Using all kinds of clumsy methods to get away with it shows no sense of responsibility at all..."
Sherlock obviously disapproves of those who use their cleverness to get away with things.
Having an intelligent mind is certainly a good thing.
But if this outstanding mind is only used to enable oneself to adapt to society, to seek benefits and avoid harm, and to be versatile, then this wisdom would be too empty.
It is not only utilitarian, but also impure.
Thinking of the "nothingness" theory that Aiwass taught him, Sherlock pieced together a new set of nothingness in his mind -
Wisdom and adaptation.
"But where did Xue Tiansi go?"
Isabel was a little worried. "He wouldn't... want to sacrifice the entire land, would he? Is there any way to stop him?"
"It's no pity for those Sons of the Moon to die, but Xue Tiansi is also a Son of the Moon after all. He also needs to suck blood... Then, those civilians..."
Although she is the Queen of Avalon and now a member of the Hellasl Empire, the land and people of Iris obviously have nothing to do with her... But ever since she learned that the material of the ring in her hand came from the last Mad King of Iris, Isabel has become more serious and concerned about Iris.
Aiwass found this a bit strange...but he could understand it.
It's probably the feeling of "I've taken your most important thing, so please give me all your obsessions as well."
"To be honest," Aiwass shook his head, "Just having my blood sucked by the Blood Sky Master is much better than being toyed with by those beasts."
He did not describe in detail to Isabel the tragedy that took place in the Moon Child's mansion - it was not something that could be easily brought up as a topic of conversation.
"However, if you ask where Xue Tiansi is hiding... I think he might be underground."
Aiwass happened to know an entrance to the ruins.
If Xue Tiansi wants to stay away from the material world, then he can only go there.
Even though he's planning to run away, it wouldn't look good if he were to chase him all the way...
While they were discussing the Blood Sky Master, there was a knock on the door. After about two or three seconds, it opened on its own.
Argand de Vendôme, Aiwass's nominal grandfather, stood at the door.
Yasen straightened his back immediately: "Father, I was talking to Aiwass about Hawkeye..."
"—We'll talk about that later."
Old Argon waved his hand, interrupting Yassen.
He looked at Aiwass, his tone heavy yet with a hint of excitement, and handed a letter to Aiwass: "The family's spies in Anxi said...
"Aimaer Nur, the benevolent master of Holy Spring City, successfully advanced to the sixth level a few days ago. Do you want to meet him? He has sent an invitation to the family, inviting you to observe the Nest Chants.
"It's different from the sixth energy level that was stuck on the Eternal Pope. That's the real sixth energy level. And he also said that he can reach the edge of the seventh energy level within a month..."
The old duke paused at this point and said, "You anticipated this? You knew?"
Aiwass didn't need to answer.
Just by looking at Aiwass's expression and eyes, the old duke got the answer: "Is it... the Tail Ring Ceremony?
"Does it start with the arrival of the Fallen Angels, or with their defeat?"
"...Of course it's a crusade."
Aiwass sighed and replied.
The old duke is indeed a shrewd man.
He immediately guessed everything: "The Ouroboros Ring can remove the suppression of the Wall of Balance?!
"So according to this order... could the next one be the one to unlock the Path of Love?"
The old duke's expression suddenly became serious, and even his eyes became cold and fierce: "Ah... very important information, I understand."
He said nothing more and turned away.
Yasen asked Aiwass in confusion, "What happened to my dad?"
"I guess he's planning to find someone to kill the witches."
As Aiwass read the letter, he casually said, "Prevent the birth of a sixth-level enemy."
He narrowed his eyes slightly.
His current transcendental power has almost filled the river of the path in his heart - that is, the "experience value tank".
By the time Aiwas kills Xue Tiansi, he will definitely have reached the maximum level.
In other words... once Aiwas kills Xue Tiansi, he can prepare to advance to the sixth energy level.
By that time, everyone will be at the sixth level, so what is there to be afraid of?
but……
The true purpose of the Tail Ring will likely be figured out once Blood Sky Master graduates... After all, there are many talented individuals in the world. If they don't try to bring Sky Master down like Moon Child, hoping to report him to his parents, and instead prepare countermeasures and traps before bringing him down, there's still a good chance they can kill him directly.
In other words, if they knew that the purpose of bringing down the Tianshi was to kill them, then Aiwass wouldn't be the only one who could kill the Tianshi. It was even normal for a Tianshi fragment to cycle through the dream world and the material world two or three times in three months—one who seized the Tianshi fragment and ascended to become a Tianshi, then was immediately brought down and killed by someone who thought they had no background and were easily bullied. The person who killed them ascended again and was brought down and killed again...
——By then, it’s time to put the Tiansi-stuffed dumplings into the pot.
