Chapter 859: Consuming My Remnants
The time that had frozen in front of Aleister's eyes gradually resumed its flow.
The Flame-Butterfly is about to launch an all-destroying flaming charge—and if she sustains serious damage, she will not hesitate to detonate herself, destroying everything around her.
The King of the Wild Hunt raised his blade against his colleague without mercy... He also had absolute loyalty to Aleister.
But looking at the Flame-Defying Butterfly charging without hesitation... at that moment, Aleister felt a strong sense of jealousy again.
The Flame-Rebellious Butterfly, Leah.
The most special beast of sin, the other half of Yulia...
She always accompanies Aiwass... Of all the Sin Beasts, even all the Phantom Cards, she's the only one who can be used and manifested during the Path of Devotion. She fights for Aiwass wholeheartedly, without hesitation or thought.
“…That’s great.”
And this time, Aleister could no longer suppress his jealousy.
She took a deep breath and completely let go of her original desire to pursue love.
Aleister did not unscrew the glass bottle and drink the soul inside... because she didn't know whether it would be effective immediately.
To be on the safe side——
She used her right index finger to pierce her chest and tear a wound!
Insert the glass bottle containing the liquid soul into the wound of the heart, and then crush it with your fingers!
"Make me...whole again!"
Aleister stared at the angel and screamed hysterically.
Feeling his withered soul quickly filling up, Aleister felt completely unsure.
Because she had no idea whether her idea would succeed.
But if you want to [transcend] fate and [transcend] the current predicament - you only have one chance.
Even if it's just for a moment—
Please, Sizhu...
Bless me!
Must succeed!
"to this end……"
Along with the whistling cold wind, an ancient and cold long-handled sickle suddenly appeared in Aleister's right hand.
That is - the death of desolation and loneliness.
A scythe with special attack capabilities against undead creatures such as Moonchild.
This was the first time Aleister had used it.
...And the current Aiwass is obviously not the Son of the Moon.
The reason for taking it out is also very simple——
Aleister turned the blade of the sickle and gently placed the reverse-edged sickle on his neck.
My holy number is 11, the number of those who belong to us.
Huan Tiansi's voice rang out from Aleister's heart.
The prophecy, already clear long ago, now becomes even clearer:
Devotion is three, transcendence is eight, and the sum of these numbers is eleven.
Love is one, nothingness is ten. The sum of these numbers... is also eleven.
"Our people" refers to Aiwass and Aleister!
[——To fools, I am a 9. To the righteous, I am an 8, and also the 1 among the 8.]
For the fools who cannot escape the cycle of reincarnation, this endless cycle of reincarnations means eternity; but for "The Righteous Aiwass", His existence only means being surpassed - it is just one of the most "desirable" holy numbers on the path of transcendence!
[——There is light in my hidden name, just as the sons of midnight are the sun]
Hengwo's son is Xitiansi, who is also her separated old self.
And the "light" separated by Huantiansi is Aiwass!
【——Spread your wings, call forth all the light within you——Come to me!】
Huan Tiansi's voice was rumbling and shaking.
It is like thunder and the sound of heaven.
——From the very beginning, Huan Tiansi did not hide his purpose.
Since the host hadn't stopped the ceremony, it meant it was still under control. In other words, Sizhu hoped to reveal the true face of the Huantiansi through this promotion ceremony...
That's why Sizhu appeared and said those words to Aleister.
[——I just came to see you, Aleister]
「──Perform well... This ceremony may be very important to you.」
...It is indeed important.
Aleister realized something.
——The essence of Aiwass’s desire for dedication is actually “nothingness”.
Before the separation, Aiwass was completely unaware of this, because this sense of nothingness was part of his personality.
But after being separated into two groups of love and transcendence, devotion and nothingness, their shortcomings at the personality level became so clear...
When Aiwass suppressed his inner "desire for love", he was actually constantly strengthening the desire for nothingness in his body.
The essence of that increasingly selfless divinity is self-nihilism!
If we are unable to face up to this incompleteness - and are still driven to devotion by "sense of nothingness" and to transcendence by "desire", then both devotion and transcendence will inevitably be incomplete!
How could he, like that, make further progress? And how could he escape from this fate?
Holy Ten-Eleven.
That is a source river that does not exist, and it is also a sacred number that does not exist.
Sacred numbers themselves have power because they have corresponding source rivers. Therefore, the number 11 represents the power "outside the source river", that is, the power "not belonging to the source river".
The Holy Number Eleven means freedom.
Free from any constraints, free from any constraints... This is the power that Yi Tiansi once pursued and Huan Tiansi is still pursuing now.
It transcends the Pillar God and Source River system and is a power that is completely your own!
"Only... the desire for devotion driven by the soul of transcendence is the true Holy Eleven."
Aleister murmured softly, "I seem to have...had such a day before."
——That was at the very beginning...
When he had not yet tamed the Shadow Fiend, when he fed the demon with pain.
When he slit his throat and sacrificed his life during his first promotion ceremony.
...When did I forget the original intention of using pastoral care methods?
Since when did… pastoral care become a means of simply training summoned beasts, cultivating subordinates, and increasing their strength?
That kind of me...
What is the difference between him and the shepherd and the celestial ruler?
"Eat in silence, my lamb..."
Aleister's voice was trembling and low.
Two lines of tears couldn't help but slide down from my eyes.
She doesn't want to be forgotten.
She didn't want to disappear.
She wants to become a phantom demon.
She wants to become the beast of sin...
Aleister was so genuine, so greedy, breathing the air of life. He wanted to live from the bottom of his heart, and envied all the lives that could exist naturally from the bottom of his heart...
——That’s exactly why.
The more painful the pastoral care, the stronger its effect.
Since there was only one chance, in order to ensure that Huan Tiansi's pastoral method could be 100% covered... Aleister did not hesitate to gamble everything he could.
When the charging Flame-Defying Butterfly collided with the King of the Wild Hunt, Aleister pressed down his scythe without hesitation.
This will be the first life taken by [Death of Withering Silence].
"Consume my remains... and then become one with me.
"Be whole again, Aiwass—
“—I am the Eucharist, and this is mercy.”
At this moment, Aleister truly understood...
What is "kindness"?
Her eyes became compassionate, but tears kept falling.
"Just consume everything I have... and drink it like sweet wine!"
Accompanied by Aleister's trembling chant.
The next moment, Aleister completely turned into an ice sculpture soaked in blood.
Then, it suddenly shattered!
The ice particles stained with blood did not shatter and scatter on the ground.
Instead, it floats in the air in a manner that defies common sense of physics, condensing into one incomparably dazzling bright red pearl after another.
Those pearls seemed to have life, flying towards the angelic Aiwass and merging with him again!
Update completed!
These two chapters will be updated together meow!
The promotion ceremony will end tomorrow!
