Chapter 1235 Sweet White Mist
It all happened in an instant.
Aiwass was so quick to act—it was just a friendly conversation, not even an argument. In the blink of an eye, Aziz was howling miserably, and when he looked up again, he had dissolved.
Although everyone knew how violent and wanton the Good Master was, no one could react when the friendly atmosphere suddenly turned into this.
But from another perspective, it's fortunate that Aiwas now has the identity of a benevolent master, and fortunately this is the ancient Parthian Empire...
Although many passersby were startled, they didn't react much. If it happened elsewhere, such a murder in the street and the transformation of people into demons would have caused no regional chaos, and passersby would have screamed and run away.
But the psychological quality of Anxi people is really good.
Aside from Aziz's screams, which startled everyone and drew their gazes, no one was surprised. On the contrary, many who had previously dismissed this "prophesied savior"—especially when Aziz and Aiwass had spoken—were now impressed and bowed respectfully or even knelt before him.
Others also smiled sarcastically at Aziz who was brutally killed.
A person's personality largely determines their circle of friends. Aziz's popularity here was already poor. No one liked a villain who had no ability or moral integrity and climbed to prominence through flattery, backstabbing friends, and sycophancy.
When they saw Aziz relying on shamelessness to force a conversation with the "Indigo King" and the savior behind the scenes, they felt uncomfortable and even a little uneasy.
Now that they saw Aziz's fate, they all felt relieved. In fact, they even had a better impression of Aiwass.
Therefore, when people saw Aiwass killing people in the street, they were not afraid... Instead, some people came over in a friendly manner, knelt beside the carriage, and introduced themselves respectfully.
"Great Savior, I praise your justice..."
"Aiwas of Miracles! Great and Benevolent Lord, I offer you a gift!"
"I have heard of your name, Miracle Aiwass, the Pope of Humanity! I am an alchemist from Star Antimony. Thank you for all you have done for my homeland..."
People gathered around, bustling about.
A few people also brought gifts—things that could be bought with money. Although they weren't considered precious in Aiwass's eyes, they were just right as a first meeting gift.
Aiwass spoke to everyone patiently and gently, and more and more people gathered around. Some came to watch the fun, while others were surprised that there was such a kind and good-tempered person... and came over to take a look out of curiosity.
Because he responded to everyone's words, his car was almost stuck in place and unable to move forward.
At this moment, a surprised and somewhat hesitant voice came:
"Your Excellency...the Pope?"
Aiwass immediately recognized the owner of the voice——
That was the "Encyclopedia" of the dream-wandering monk who had gone on an archaeological expedition with him and Zhu Tang!
I actually met an acquaintance here!
As a Horusian, how did Baike come to the Holy Spring City?
Aiwass looked over curiously, but was surprised to find that he was not wearing the simple white robe he used to wear... but had changed into quite gorgeous clothes.
It was a monk's robe woven from consecrated linen. Its style resembled the popular fleur-de-lis slip dresses—perhaps even a long, pleated skirt. The top was white, the bottom a maroon ochre.
Over her dress, she wore a breastplate inlaid with numerous flakes of gold, agate, and lapis lazuli. On her chest hung a golden scarab, like a gigantic breastplate. Probably larger than an adult man's fist, it resembled a flat sun disk, adorned with gemstones in red, green, black, purple, and brown. Around her waist was a buckled belt woven from soft silver thread.
A cape made of some kind of animal hide draped across his back—black with a golden sunburst pattern. It was like golden light seeping through a cracked night sky. In his hand, he held an ankh, a short-handled staff, like a baton, about the length of his forearm.
Even the open-toed strappy sandals he wore were made of gold! His exposed skin was completely stained with gold powder, making him look like a moving golden sculpture.
He wore a long black wig on his head - the wig must have been mixed with a lot of lapis lazuli fragments, and it looked like a faint blue gradient in the black, and it would reflect a fine sacred glow under the sunlight.
——Of course Aiwass recognized this outfit.
Not to mention that he once studied archaeology and even learned advanced divine arts in the Church... The "Golden Dawn" painted by Master Janice, which is a national treasure of Avalon, is now hanging in the living room of his house!
It was during her global travels that Janice witnessed the grand spectacle of sun worship in the Horus Empire. It was through that breathtaking beauty that she gained enlightenment and truly grasped the power of the path of beauty.
In the original worldline, in the instance where Janice's path went out of control, one had to enter the activated Golden Dawn and kill a boss. It was one of the three great priests who presided over the worship of the sun.
The appearance of "Encyclopedia" at this moment, except for some minor differences, is almost the same as that of the high priest!
Even behind him, there was a Nephthys guard standing on each side!
Their skin was tanned black, streaked with gold, and they wore half-plates of crimson and gold, heavily decorated with bird-feather-like ornaments. On their chests hung amulets blessed by Nephthys, the apostle of the Xitian Division, constantly drawing on the power of the sun. In their hands, they wielded halberds shaped like eagle claws, their stance resembling a vertically splitting Fang Tian Hua Ji.
The most iconic feature is that the shoulder pads of their armor are two red bird heads with open mouths.
The Nephthys Guards were an elite force within the Horus Empire, similar to the Arbiters and Griffin Knights of Avalon. Their sole responsibility was to protect the temples authorized to perform Sun worship ceremonies, the nine high priests, and the Horus Empire's monarch, the "Pharaoh," and his family. Beyond that, they had no other duties and obeyed no one's orders.
Aside from the Pharaoh himself, they were not required to bow to anyone and were silent and extremely reliable guards. According to Aiwass's understanding, they all mastered the "secret method of burning life"... which now seemed to be the Art of Dawn Fire.
With Nephthys's guards providing close protection, Encyclopedia's current identity is self-evident.
...But wouldn't it be bad for him to just pull Baike into the car and leave?
Thinking of this, Aiwass looked at the other people who gathered around him.
He thought about it, stretched out his left hand, and slowly cut open the palm of his left hand with the index finger of his right hand, drawing a horizontal line.
He used the ability of "Dissolving Soul" to dissolve approximately 5% of his sacred soul into blood.
Hot and bright blood oozed out from it, and Aiwass opened his left hand and offered these drops of blood to Wu Tiansi as if swearing a vow.
"I praise the God of Mist, the God without eyes and words, the God without sun and moon..."
As Aiwass finished his words, his blood slowly dripped into the void.
"Give me mist, blood drops condense into dew, and heal all living things."
