Chapter 901 Lucifer's Afterimage
And just at this moment.
An incredibly intense heat, accompanied by a red light that nearly illuminated half the night sky, ignited, and a numbing warmth spread throughout the body. Aiwass and Galatea immediately recognized the source of that power. "Is that... Candle?"
"Sizhu has been recalled from the material world to the dream world!"
Immediately afterwards, there was a roar like an eagle or a dragon—a dark green cyclone hovered and rolled into the sky.
Then came a beam of incredibly bright amber light.
That is the Lord of Scales and Feathers and Amber.
Did they also walk in the physical world?
"Twin Mirror... He doesn't seem to appear in the material world."
Without waiting for Aiwass to ask, Galatea took the initiative to speak: "He has been in the dream world, otherwise I would be able to sense-"
"What about the Path of Love? Or rather, the Path of Beasts... Is the Beast Master still not here?"
Aiwass was a little confused.
According to the Beast Lord's habits, He would definitely appear in the material world.
But He was not sealed back to the dream world by the great miracle, which only means that He does not exist yet.
As the "sun" became dimmer, the moon, which was originally transparent, also appeared.
It wasn't the moon in Aiwas's sense—it was more like a slightly larger star. It emitted a faint, feeble light, not much brighter than a distant streetlight, but it still illuminated half the night sky.
But at this moment, the sun, which had turned into an "eyeball", suddenly shot out a ray of azure lightning, hitting the moon directly!
The moon was hit by the beam of light and then turned into a meteor and fell into the sea.
Seeing that the stars in the sky have almost dimmed, it seems that there is not much space left.
The beams of light rising from the ground gradually became sparse.
But the "Sun" did not die.
It simply turned into a giant blue eye hanging high in the sky.
The "eye" opened wide, zooming and turning, searching for something on the ground. Whenever it saw something, the surrounding stars would vibrate, and then a beam of light would absorb it.
The bright yellow light curtain above the sky became clearer and clearer.
Aiwass felt a faint oppressive force - just like the feeling when Zhu Tang used the ritual before.
But at this moment.
A flaming spear came from nowhere and suddenly pierced the eye, bursting out flames visible to the naked eye!
"--you!"
A roar of incomparable anger and pain resounded throughout the heavens and earth!
At the same time, it was accompanied by a hearty laugh of "Hahahahaha".
Aiwass heard it very clearly and immediately remembered whose voice it was.
——That is the laughter of the Most High!
"So this is why Wei Zhe became one-eyed?!"
Aiwass blurted out.
The next moment, he saw the eye shrink and transform into a black sphere. It also disappeared along with the thunder in the sky.
At this moment, there was no sun or moon in the sky. Only the much smaller black sphere and the huge, bleeding wound on it.
——That was the wound pierced by the Sky-piercing Spear!
Red blood dripped out from the wound, forming a bright red waterfall.
The blood fell to the ground, but it did not bring destruction.
That bright red color has become the only light in this dark world.
The blood was like a flame, illuminating the dark red world.
There was a low tree in the distance. It caught the blood and continued to rise at a speed visible to the naked eye.
And because the eye was missing to block the crack, cracks also appeared in the flawless curtain of stars above the sky.
No more beams of light rose from the earth, and the stars in the sky no longer shone with brilliance. There were still some fish that slipped through the net on the earth, but they were not taken away.
As the blood and energy descended from the sky, the terrifying, silent darkness surged in all directions like waves.
The whole world began to change at a speed visible to the naked eye - as if hundreds of thousands or millions of years of natural changes were condensed into a few hours.
A "beast" that had never been born appeared, and there were many more strange and bizarre things that Aiwas had never seen before.
But looking at Galatea's shocked and nostalgic eyes, Aiwas knew... these should be the spirits on earth in the "Age without Light".
Above, the radiance of the countless stars gathered in the sky, condensing onto the pale, single eye. A bright yellow light shone on the pitch-black orb. The wound seemed to be shrinking, but it was unclear when it would heal.
"—This is Atlas's fault."
At this moment, a rather magnetic voice sounded from above and behind Aiwass: "Therefore, the gap should also be repaired by him. Until the sky is repaired, Atlas will be responsible for holding up the hole in the sky.
"Sacrifice belongs to the way of 'power.' The original reason for war was to gather enough offerings for the gods... and that offering was used at this time. Cut skin can be used to repair skin, and planted wheat can become new wheat. The blood shed by the sun created all things in the world, and the blood of all things is used to repair the sky.
"To punish Atlas for the damage he had done to the world, the authority of sacrifice was transferred from the Sand Clock to the Snake Father... and so it was the Snake Father who ultimately repaired the broken sky."
Aiwass turned around and looked at the young man behind him who should be extremely handsome.
He was at least four meters tall and looked like a giant or a moving stone statue.
The reason why it was supposed to be so was because his body was now radiating a brilliant golden glow, making him appear translucent. His hair was a translucent golden color, and so was his skin, like a figurine that hadn't been painted yet, with his features and outlines completely indistinct.
The only thing that could identify him was the magnificent wings behind him.
Winged species usually have only one pair of wings, and a few have ear wings or waist wings.
The young man before him, in addition to the wings behind his shoulders, also had a pair of wings on his back and shoulders. In other words, he had a total of six wings on his back—and he also had a wing behind his ears, elbows, and ankles.
There are twelve wings in total.
The fragile parts of the pure white wings were inlaid with gold and jewels, with extremely complex hollow patterns and decorations.
Compared to the translucent body, the wings are white and warm solid.
"Who are you……?"
Aiwass was a little confused.
Galatea opened her eyes wide in shock and stood still as if frozen.
She looked at this scene and felt as if she had returned to the past.
"You can call me...Lucifer."
The second Winged King spoke gently, "Long time no see, Galatea. I spent a long time listening here before I learned your language. Fortunately, it has lost its mystery and is not difficult to learn.
"Hello, kid who looks like Snake."
He half-knelt, extended his right hand toward Aiwass, and explained, "The Snake said this is a ceremony to express goodwill."
Aiwass's mind was a little confused for a moment.
Isn't Lucifer... the Fallen Angel?
He also extended his hand and slowly shook hands with Lucifer: "Hello..."
"Fallen Angel, huh... Actually, I originally wanted to be Winged Angel."
Lucifer seemed to have read Aiwass's mind.
He shook hands with Aiwass gently and friendly, then gently held him in his arms, put his face against his, and then stood up and took two steps back.
He looked up at the still bleeding sky, his voice steady and bright, as if he was reciting a hymn:
"When Atlas steps into the Fourth River of Origin, I will inherit his name, 'Winged Celestial Master', and continue to protect the winged race.
"It's just that perhaps something went wrong with the ritual... caused by deception, betrayal, sin, and... corruption."
The expression he gave Aiwass was devoid of hatred, only pity and sadness: “I am not Lucifer himself, but the consciousness left behind by the preservation technique.
"I cast my wings here, along with the heart of my love, my glory.
"They are the only ones I don't want to be contaminated by evil.
"—I have been keeping this memory, waiting here. And now I have waited for you...
"Will you lie to me again? Like we did in the past?"
