Chapter 796 Don’t Come Back If You Can’t Find Bayard
Unlike the scheming demonologists, one of the Moon Children's strengths is their unity.
For the common interests of the race, they can even put aside their past grudges - in order to help Valentine I level up, Pomponazzi directly captured and exterminated all the Sons of the Moon in the entire star range.
Alchemists wield the "power of disenchantment," enabling them to analyze the extraordinary abilities of others to gain their own unique strength. This process, however, requires a significant amount of consumables. The ultimate perfection of "Antimony's Triumphal Chariot" is in no small part due to the dedication of these Moon Children.
It is for this reason that "The Triumphal Chariot of Antimony" tells the story of "the transcendent way of sublimating animal nature into God."
This concept, if translated, means "relying on the power of transcending the Tao to elevate the Tao of Beasts into the Tao of Pure Love." This is exactly the same as the realm of "perfection" pursued by the Moon Child, and it can also be understood as the Moon Child's exclusive "heart method."
It can even be said that the feasibility of the "perfect man" legend was confirmed after Valentine I's "violent unpacking".
It is because all the other Sons of the Moon in the entire Xingtan died out that now only the Red Phase lineage has emerged among all the Sons of the Moon in the Xingtan.
——And even though Pomponazzi had done something like this, they were still able to call on him for the grand alliance of the Moon Children. Although this was partly due to his being the strongest among the Moon Children, it also showed the extreme unity within the Moon Children.
Even when most of the Sons of the Moon hated Dracula Tepesh, the last Narcissus Principality who was the direct cause of its demise, and were willing to abandon their faith as a group... Lucia Tepesh, Dracula's granddaughter, could still be a vase at the Iris Flower. This was enough to show the trust and protection that the Sons of the Moon had for their own kind.
"Therefore, if we can obtain the power of the Blood Sky Master or the Banquet Master, we can also be promoted to the sixth energy level!"
Count Leipzig grew increasingly excited as he spoke. "Furthermore, the person who carries the power of the Heavenly Official as a sacrifice might not even die... because we all possess a considerable immortality. Even if one person truly must be sacrificed... from what I understand, those Moonlight Scholars I believe in possess the level of dedication."
"If the demonologists complete the Tail Ring ritual first and gain an early advantage... our ritual will most likely be hindered."
"Hehe, not bad."
The Red Prime Minister looked at Count Leipzig with admiration, but then changed the subject: "But do you think I haven't thought about such a simple thing?"
"so……?"
"—So, I'm waiting for them to test the waters. The stone tablet they suddenly unearthed contains an ancient ritual that has never been used by anyone, and it also involves the power of a celestial being... Hehe, I'm afraid only those arrogant demonologists would dare to use it without testing."
Hong Xiang said leisurely, "I've never told you about this, but now... you've made me more and more satisfied. It doesn't hurt to tell you.
"Actually, I've seen this ceremony before. A long, long time ago."
"……What?"
The Count of Leipzig was astonished.
He had never heard of such a thing!
"You don't really think that Heracross was exterminated because they disrespected the gods and angered the Pillar Gods because of the empire's decline, do you?"
Pomponazi said sarcastically, "That's just an excuse to explain the sudden extinction of the powerful Helasil Empire. You can't really put the blame on the Moon Child or the Demonologist? They're 'one of us.'"
"...I've also heard that it was a demonologist who summoned a powerful demon, leading to the massacre of the royal family."
Count Leipzig said honestly.
At least that's what the textbook from the Avalon and Iris edition says.
"This is very close. In other words, both versions are true, but they are only incomplete truths."
Pomponazi shook his head: "The real reason is that there were some followers of the Huantian Division among the Heracross royal family back then. As everyone knows, before the former Crown Master was promoted, he had signed a contract with the Huantian Division as a Transcendent.
"After the royal family unearthed this stone slab, they attempted to use this ritual to summon the Heavenly Ring Master.
"—They succeeded and they failed."
Count Leipzig listened attentively.
This kind of top-secret information was known to no more than three people in the entire Star. Being able to learn this kind of information undoubtedly meant that he had truly become one of Pomponazzi's "own men"!
He murmured, "Success... and failure?"
"Yes, they did use this ritual to summon Huan Tiansi to the present world, and collectively advanced to the sixth energy level."
"Collective...sixth energy level!"
Count Leipzig felt subconsciously excited - even though he had no part in this ceremony, this miracle was still worthy of awe.
That means that the weak human race can mass-produce miracles that are extremely rare even among elves!
"And then?"
"I have no idea."
Peng Bonazi said honestly, "If I knew, I wouldn't be here now. But the principal might know... He was also affected at that time.
"Some say the Sand Clock couldn't allow so many people to reach the Wall of Balance, thus bringing down divine punishment. Others say it was because they attempted to attack the Celestial Circle after their advancement, and were attacked by them... In short, almost half of the capital was completely reduced to ruins. The power that permeates it still exists today, making it difficult to enter. It is indeed filled with the aftermath of the power of the Transcendent Path and the Path of Balance, and the remaining power is at least at the Celestial Circle level."
"...What about Huan Tiansi?"
Count Leipzig was a little confused: "Did he and Sand Clock fight?"
Peng Bonazi shook his head and replied, "Maybe there was a fight, I'm not sure. But in the end, Huan Tiansi must have returned safely. The ritual directed at Huan Tiansi can still summon his power, proving that he is still safe and sound."
"So, you're saying... the Ouroboros Ring might be unsafe?"
"Um."
Pomponazzi nodded. "I think there are several possibilities. First, the Celestial Master who was pulled down might not have consented, and therefore might become angry and attack. Second, this ritual might be a conspiracy of the Celestial Master. The so-called 'Ouroboros' is a ring-shaped snake that devours its own tail. It's possible that everyone who participates in the ritual will be devoured by Him to strengthen Himself."
"Third, this ritual itself may be incomplete and cannot be used normally, so the ritual will inevitably fail and suffer backlash. Fourth, using this ritual may cause you to be pulled into the dream world.
"There's another scenario I think is most likely... That's Sand Clock not allowing this ritual to exist. Therefore, as soon as the ritual is performed, Sand Clock will send his apostles to annihilate all participants."
Without losing his mind, Prime Minister Pomponazzi demonstrated the wisdom that earned him the title of "Prime Minister" back then.
"So we don't need to do anything. If their ritual is successful, I can immediately go to Narcissus Territory to replicate it. After all, I have the fifth level of Transcendent rank, and I know where to find the right sacrifices.
"If their ritual fails, it can at least provide us with some experience. Even if it's of no reference value, at least we can eliminate all these dangerous transcendents.
"If the Fallen Angels descend and slaughter us, we'll surrender immediately. We all have the level to transcend the Dao anyway. If the Sand Clock decides to send its apostles to exterminate the ritual participants, we'll immediately disassociate ourselves from the Gakkai—it has nothing to do with us. That's the truth."
Red Prime Minister Pomponazzi sneered at Count Leipzig. "So I'm saying... how could you even think about this kind of thing? By the time you figure it out, it's already been settled! Haha... But it's still progress. At least this time, I was able to guess the plan before it actually began. Telling you the truth is a reward for your progress."
"What if..."
Count Leipzig hesitated for a moment. "Did they defeat the Fallen Angels?"
"impossible."
Red Prime Minister Peng Bonazi said categorically, "You little brat, you don't understand the power of the Celestial Master at all. It's absolutely impossible for a transcendent being from the material world to confront the Celestial Master head-on—even if the Eternal Pope arrives, it's useless."
"Well, if the old-line Celestial Officials like the Fallen and Blood Celestial Officials are out of the question... from what I understand, there are some newly born Celestial Officials, and even newer Celestial Officials about to be born..."
"Alright, alright. Stop imagining things. I've thought about everything for years, and all you need to do is execute it. Why do you think I want to open the Herasil Vault? Do you think I'm short of wealth? Haha..."
Pomponazzi was too lazy to listen to Count Leipzig's dreams. He simply embraced the girl beside him who was currently his favorite, waved his hand lazily, and said, "After hearing so many secrets, it's time to get to work - go find Bayard. If you can find her, perhaps she will be willing to tell you why it is impossible for extraordinary people in the material world to defeat Tianshi.
"Remember to be polite when you meet people, and kowtow if you can't. But if you can't find it, you don't have to come back - understand?"
"……I see."
Count Leipzig's heart sank and he responded softly.
For some reason, he originally felt that finding Bayard was only a matter of time, but after being urged like this, he inexplicably had a foreboding premonition...
——As a result, his premonition came true.
By dusk, he still hadn't found Ms. Bayard.
After doing his best to inquire around, he only knew that she had temporarily left Star Antimony by boat and gone to Avalon, and might return in a few days...
A few days later! Where did he get a few days later!
Count Leipzig wandered the streets with a bitter face, wondering whether he should disobey Pomponazzi's orders and go back to report the matter, or just stay at home and let Pomponazzi hang out for a few days...
"...I feel like either one is worse."
He sighed and continued to wander the streets.
At this moment, the "Ms. Bayard" he was looking for had also fallen asleep.
She made all the preparations for the ceremony and rode the Leviathan to Eagle Point Village with full energy.
Strictly speaking, it is extremely difficult to confront Helechin head-on.
The King of the Wild Hunt is extremely valuable. If he only has the Night Demon, he can only save his life at best... But now Aleister is no longer completely opposed to the King of the Wild Hunt.
Not to mention that Aiwass had once buffed the King of the Wild Hunt from afar a long time ago. She had even communicated with the King of the Wild Hunt once during the ascension ceremony, and now she was blessed with amber.
As a high-level undead who has signed a contract with Wei Zhe, the King of the Wild Hunt can communicate.
If it doesn’t work, just try again - whether it succeeds or not, you have to give it a try!
Besides, if we really want to fight, we may not be defeated!
It was already dusk.
In just a few moments, the Wild Hunt will emerge from the darkness...
But the Wild Hunt alone is far from enough.
If you want to summon Heleqin to come, there must be rain and thunder.
——Coincidentally, Aleister really has this ability.
The Book of Law held in the hands of Aleister, who had transformed into Aiwas, automatically turned the pages and then stopped at one of them.
A blue-purple tarot card emerged from the void and then ignited with a whoosh.
And a long lightning spear shining with crackling lightning emerged from the void and fell into the hands of "Evans"!
The next moment, the dusk in the sky disappeared without a trace.
There was no animation of the sun setting, it was as if two textures had been switched without any warning - when I noticed it, there was only a deep moon left in the night sky.
Under the golden moon, black mist rose up and the chill of the dead souls penetrated the heart.
Black smoke rose from the bottom up, like the smoke emitted by burnt embers, blackening the entire sky, making the walls of the buildings dim, and swallowing up the lights one by one, leaving only the unusually bright stars and moon in the sky.
At this moment, Aleister suddenly raised the thunder halberd in his hand.
I saw a gray bolt of lightning roaring from bottom to top, piercing through the sky!
The pale blue lightning seemed to connect heaven and earth, and it also seemed to spew out countless smoke. In the blink of an eye, the sky was covered and filled with low dark clouds! Then, the storm hit without warning -
When the rainstorm comes, it is the day when the Wild Hunt Legion sets out.
Unlike the usual laughter and banter, when those pale cavalry appeared in the air, they were already lined up in neat rows, so silent that there was not a sound at all.
——BOOM!!!
With a loud thunder, the tall pale knight jumped down from the thundercloud!
