Chapter 575 The Key to Breaking the Deadlock
After saying goodbye to Cardinal Cyril, Aiwas returned to the fifth circle.
While on the way, Aiwass fell into deep thought.
——What flashed through his mind before was probably not a delusion.
He isolated each matter separately and deduced the power of each party based solely on the issue of "what if Aiwass became Pope".
Then, Aiwas' mind suddenly became clear.
The densely packed, tangled mess of clues immediately became clear.
After all, Pure White has already become amber, and her position as Pope is prone to accidents; scandal or danger are risks the Theocracy cannot afford. Freya's research on amber, due to her guilt for leaking the "Tears of Time," requires her to advance civilian technology to atone for her sin.
This will undoubtedly prolong the time it takes for Pure White to cure the Ning Amber... In other words, Pure White actually has no intention of curing the Ning Amber before March 3rd.
As a human, Aiwass has no power to command the theocracy where the elves are the absolute majority of the nation; he has no connections within the church and cannot command the church either... Therefore, nothing will change substantially at the moment.
At the same time, the fact that no cardinal came to power meant that the cardinals who disagreed with his ideas and the Pure White Saint could at least accept this "moderate" result; the Controlled Fire achieved their goal - to prevent the Saint from controlling the Church from generation to generation and weaken the Saint's influence; the Nine Pillars Church, which had a high proportion of short-lived people, would also be excited because they had a short-lived pope.
At the same time, the Star Antimony people will be satisfied, because as the Pope, Aiwass will stop Avalon's unlimited air strikes on the Star Antimony capital and important cities as soon as possible in order to maintain the neutrality of the Theocracy, otherwise the Theocracy may be dragged into the quagmire; the Iris people will also be more satisfied, because with Aiwass, the Avalonian Pope, watching, the Star Antimony will not dare to take the opportunity to start a war against them, and the Iris people just like to watch the fun; as for the Avalon people themselves, there is no need to mention it.
As for other races... the goblins will be satisfied, because they have just negotiated a big deal with Aiwass; even the dwarves will be satisfied, because the leader of the elven kingdom has become a human, which is a heaven-defying fun for them; the trolls will also be satisfied, because Aiwass has conveyed old Rabbih's friendship back to Isabel, and Avalon is about to interfere with the progress of the southern continent.
The cardinals will later learn that Aiwass has completed the study of advanced divine arts in an instant, and he can produce the "Sinthorn Fruit" that can alleviate the amber.
This held special significance for the elves. The more conservative one was, the more they valued Aiwass—because the more conservative one was, the more likely they and those around them would become corrupted. They needed to tie Aiwass to the chariot of the Theocracy, at least to ensure that Aiwass left behind a profession or legacy.
Aiwass considered it carefully.
The result is that the "Human Pope", a "special case" that seems to have seriously violated tradition, will ultimately not be stopped by any force.
Even Aiwass himself, because of the experience "gifted" by Cardinal Loki, acquired advanced divine arts, learned his true identity, and clarified his own path and crisis; Lily, because of Cardinal Loki's enlightenment, mastered the future of the Spider Silk Continuation; Freya, because of Cardinal Loki's death, also learned that if the research on the Wine of Eternal Life and the Tears of Time continued in depth, it would surely lead to death.
If Aiwass could obtain the Pope's crown - even if it was only for a short time, he would have the confidence to fight against the Bear Heavenly Master or the Fallen Angel Master at the fifth level!
Today, the internal conflicts within Xingti are much stronger than in the "game version", and it is very likely that the Fallen Angels will arrive early.
Freya will be able to complete her atonement in three months at most, and then she can study Aiwas's "Fruit of Sinthorn".
With this sample, Aiwass estimated that a breakthrough would only take a few months... and Aiwass himself would also produce new fruit during this time. At the highest possible rate, it would only take three months.
In other words... after a full six months, the White Saint would be able to heal Ningpo and reconnect the Supreme Crown, freeing Aiwass from that position. At the very least, simply bringing down Lingpo Tianshi and killing him would solve Ningpo's problem.
Then Aiwass won't have to sit on this golden toilet for the rest of his life...but can return to Avalon.
If he was lucky, he might not even miss Isabel's coronation - if possible, Aiwass didn't want to miss it.
——The result is that this event is exactly in line with the interests of everyone!
It’s the perfect Moriarty-esque ending that leaves everyone satisfied!
…Except Bram Stoker.
That vampire writer is probably the only unlucky victim in this incident.
Just the sacrifice of one evil man brings joy to the whole world.
——Isn’t this exactly the concept of “necessary evil” that Professor Moriarty upholds?
This is also a kind of "Moriarty style".
The trigger for all these changes... came from Cardinal Loki's attack on Aiwass!
It comes from [The Death of Loki]!
"...As expected of my adoptive father's mentor."
Aiwass sighed, realizing his initial contempt for him.
These thoughtful veterans have long laid out their plans, already taking advantage of every possible advantage. It's like a long-running, deeply complex game: veteran players have a vastly greater advantage over newcomers.
Fortunately, I have now contacted the Lord of Scales and Feathers——
It is to directly change the world situation by creating the "warrior" profession!
And to accomplish this, we must kill Xiong Tiansi!
Aiwass reaffirmed his idea.
The Lord of Scales and Feathers gave Aiwas the privilege of a solo ceremony. Aiwass did not need to rely on the power of Hengwo to enter the dream, and did not have to wait specifically for the new moon and full moon.
In other words, Aiwass can start the ceremony tonight.
But Aiwass did not forget that the real purpose of this plan was to lure Xiong Tiansi to attack him.
If he returned and started the ceremony right away, Xiong Tiansi would immediately notice something was wrong—because this wasn't a normal ceremony day, and the eclipse ceremony required the protection of the Pillar God. While this would make Aiwas's promotion ceremony easier, it would also delay the creation of the "Warrior" class.
In order to avoid arousing Xiong Tiansi's suspicion, Aiwass chose to lie low.
Like an "assassin" or a "hunter" - quietly waiting for the moment when Xiong Tiansi lets down his guard.
The specific time is the last day of this month.
The day of the New Moon Ceremony.
Less than ten days left.
——Ten days later, we will launch a heavy attack on Xiong Tiansi!
When Aiwass returned home, Lily was the first to greet him.
"Sherlock replied."
Lily said softly, handing a letter to Aiwass.
As Aiwass took the letter, he looked at Lily in surprise.
...Doesn't she usually call Sherlock "Mr. Hermes"?
"How's your study of the Egg-Moon Tantra going?"
Aiwass asked casually as he opened the letter.
Lily's mouth corners curled up slightly.
She lazily stretched out her hands to support herself on the table, squinting her eyes and giving Aiwass a charming smile: "It went very smoothly...my master."
"—Who are you calling master? You rude son of a bitch!"
An ethereal voice filled with anger sounded.
Accompanied by a gust of black wind, the crow flew out of Aiwas's room and landed - almost hitting Aiwas's shoulder.
Aiwass didn't bring it with him when he went out this time. Night Devil was already a little angry, and when she heard Lily's name, she was furious.
"...You are, Selene?"
Aiwass also reacted and remembered the name.
"Yes. If everything goes well, we can separate at the end of the month."
Lily completely ignored the Night Demon and looked at Aiwass with eager eyes: "On that day... I want to ask for the master's blood as a celebration."
“I don’t have pastoral care right now.”
Aiwass reminded.
Although he might resume pastoral care after his promotion, he would refuse to do so for now.
After all, Lily wasn't a phantom demon, even if she split. There was no need to waste his blood.
But Lily's reaction was beyond Aiwass's imagination: "I don't need your shepherding... All I want is the flesh and blood of my master."
Her cheeks were a little flushed and her pupils were dilated as if she was drunk.
She gently stroked her abdomen and looked at Aiwass seriously. "With just a little of your flesh and blood... I can hatch a 'monster' for you that's mine... ours. This is the legacy of the 'Moon Witch,' the art of creation. Now that I inherit this name, this power will also be mine."
“You…”
"—Vignes."
When Night Demon was about to utter a more vicious curse, Aiwass interrupted him softly.
The Egg-Moon Tantra is not about creating a completely new personality... but about manifesting the old personality and gradually separating it.
In other words... did Lily always have this side of her?
But she has been restraining herself and not showing any...
Just as Aiwass was thinking, the expression on Lily's face suddenly changed.
Her body trembled slightly, and in an instant, she was covered in sweat. She lowered her head in fear and said, "I'm sorry, Master... I can't fully control my body right now..."
"Lily?"
Aiwass confirmed the identity.
“It’s me…”
"Are you there, Selene? You should be listening."
Aiwass looked at Lily and said, "I agree to your request."
Lily's expression changed slightly when she heard this: "But..."
"I'm also curious about the skills I used when I was still a mortal. I'm also curious about the monsters created using my flesh and blood."
Aiwass chuckled.
——More importantly, this is a "brand new development" that no one could have predicted.
Lily's split, Selene's rebirth, the moon monster constructed with the "blood of the sacred entity"... each one represents "unplanned".
It's because Lily is too weak.
Because she was too weak and inconspicuous, she did not appear in anyone's plan.
She may be the key to Aiwass's breakthrough!
Thinking of this, Aiwass unfolded the letter sent by Sherlock and read it carefully.
He could tell at a glance that it was Sherlock's handwriting.
The content of the letter was also very simple, but a little vague.
He said that if things on Aiwass's side were almost resolved, it would be best to go there tomorrow.
"—The gentleman we all know (the client in this case) may be facing more trouble than we anticipated. But don't worry, it's not dangerous. The most you can say is 'unbelievable'."
Sherlock wrote this in the letter.
