Chapter 904 Lucifer's Wings
"This is……"
Aiwass turned around and stared at the wings in a daze.
——He got similar wings from the last promotion ceremony!
At that time, his mind was controlled by Huantiansi's pastoral method, and he was transformed into a merciless angel of destruction.
It was Aleister's self-sacrifice that brought him back to his senses.
He tore off the four white wings transformed from Huan Tiansi's "snake power", but grew six larger wings.
Red, blue, yellow, green, white, and black.
Among them, the red, black, and green wings are larger than the others - this obviously corresponds to the three beasts of sin that he has unlocked.
——How similar does it look to now?
Even the wings were nearly identical in size... except that this "set" of wings, gifted by Lucifer, was inlaid with brilliant golden wing guards at the base and outside the bones, each inlaid with intricately carved jewels. And whereas Aiwass's wings had seemed somewhat illusory back then, they now felt more real.
Those wings obviously did not belong to Lucifer.
Rather, they should be the wings of the Fallen Angels—or rather, the illusory wings that appear from the profession of the "Sinner Scholar," which is formed by the power of the Fallen Angels.
Does this mean that... when the Fallen Angel's black wings are cleansed, his essence is actually the same as Lucifer's?
Aiwass remembered that the Fallen Angel in the game descended with black wings on his back.
But Aiwass didn't have much time to think.
Thanks to the experience in the promotion ceremony, Aiwass had already mastered the ability to fly.
After he "regained" his wings, he immediately learned how to use them—this time he really "remembered" the memory.
He grabbed Galatea from behind and flew up!
Galatea's body was incredibly heavy—so heavy that Aiwass was startled when he touched her. Her light, silent steps gave no sign of her heaviness, like an adamantine golem.
Aiwass had originally thought that just holding her upright wouldn't be a problem, but Galatea's unimaginable weight forced Aiwass to treat her with the necessary respect. She was too heavy to be carried like a princess, as his wings could handle it... but Aiwass's arms couldn't.
Because of the wings on her back, Aiwass couldn't carry her on his back, so he could only hold Galatea's waist tightly with both hands. He flapped his wings fiercely like a crane, hanging her horizontally at low altitude. This made Galatea's body almost fold like a sheet left to dry.
If it were a real person, they would probably feel the stretching of their spine and the congestion of blood in their brain. But fortunately, Galatea is actually a construct doll, so she has no opinion on it, and may not even feel anything... probably.
Her head clattered against her knees like a scallop in the air, making a crisp sound like pebbles colliding, but her delicate face remained expressionless. Occasionally, she couldn't dodge in time and the back of her head would suddenly hit something, shattering it directly.
Following Galatea's "automatic guidance", Aiwass easily found where everyone was.
Their location was also extremely conspicuous in this eternal darkness - they were staying in the amber light shield condensed by Master Chongbo.
The light shield was glowing, so Aiwass could see it from a distance.
Aiwass even saw that his "illusion" was still comforting others - and other people could actually hear it!
When he passed through the thin membrane of the amber barrier, Aiwass finally understood... this place was like an "amber", isolating the inside and the outside.
The roar caused by the space rupture was only as loud as the noise of "renovation upstairs" when it reached inside.
Aiwass put Galatea down first, and after she tidied up her messy hair, he stood in the position of his illusion and continued speaking according to what the illusion said.
Only Chongbo seemed to sense something, glancing over slightly when the amber barrier was triggered. But the old man said nothing, simply nodding to indicate that he had received the item.
"...So, there's no need to worry too much. We won't be sucked into the void, nor will we enter the dream world, because we're not entering from the dream world, but from the material world."
Aiwass said calmly.
Archmage Zhengsine was quite looking forward to it: "Will that lead us to the same dimension where you fell before?"
He was referring to the space where Aiwass obtained the "Icosahedron of Water".
However, the items in that copy have been cleared out by Aiwass, and are indeed of no value anymore.
"Probably not."
Aiwass shook his head slightly. "If you're interested there, you can always come back. That space isn't affected by the preservation spell, but rather solidified by the power of the 'Water Icosahedron.' Once you've completed our transaction and obtained what I want, you can use it to enter the ruins... Or you can also use another method, which is to directly destroy the spell structure and violently dig it out from the outside."
"That place isn't like here... It doesn't have such a strong preservation spell, it's not indestructible. A fifth-level spell would be enough to blow it apart. But I don't know if that would attract anyone or damage the things inside."
What he meant was, "It's better for you to complete the transaction with me honestly."
Sine also caught Aiwass's intention and nodded obediently.
Rurouni couldn't help but complain: "This wave of archaeological excavation is really outrageous. I thought it might be dangerous, but I didn't expect it to be this dangerous... I won't come again next time."
The kitten was also exhausted and squatted on the ground: "When I go back, I should find someone to marry... I feel like if I take risks again, I don't know when I will die outside."
"Yeah," Baike muttered, wiping his sweat. "Ancient golems, demonic tides, eternal night, and a rupture in space and time... And what just happened... Is that the death of the Second Sun?"
His voice was incredibly complex, full of emotion and sadness. He was the only one besides Professor Budd who was still immersed in the truth of history.
They also obviously witnessed from afar the miracle that Lucifer showed to Aiwass - that was preserved by him, he was torn out, and after the birth of the twin angels, Fallen Angel and Ring Angel, Wei Zhe and Sha Shiji worked together to achieve the "Death of the Second Sun".
As a Horusian, he has a very strong faith in the sun.
Therefore, this scene had a profound impact on him—witnessing with his own eyes the death of the sun he worshipped. But from another perspective, he also gained mysterious knowledge that no other Horus or other dream monks could obtain: how the Second Sun died.
The information he brings back will completely change the entire Horus!
——That will also be one of the variables!
"That azure sun...could it be Mithra?"
Baike murmured softly and looked at Aiwass.
Obviously, in his understanding, the only one who could answer his questions was the Eternal Pope.
According to Horus's deductions and calculations, after the death of the second sun and before the birth of the third sun, there should have been a sun god who "should have been born but was not." This fictional sun god was called Mithra - this was the core doctrine of Horus' Mithraic cult.
And now... Baike may be the only Horus in the world who has witnessed the light of "Mithra" with his own eyes.
"Yes."
Aiwass nodded. "The death of the Second Sun was not the death of Taurus—the Second Sun died at the 'Birth of Gemini.'"
Whether it is Wei Zhe and Zhigao Tian, or Huan Tian Si and Fallen Angels...they are all stories that take place in the "Gemini Age".
Even the first time Huan Tiansi cut off his tail and split into another self should have happened after he became Huan Tiansi - that is, the story began in the Gemini era.
"Whether Aries or Taurus, they are the same. They all belong to the long, dark night. And the birth of Mithras may have come from the consensus among the Pillar Gods - that the world needs a sun."
Mithra himself hints at the birth of the Path of Love, which is still entangled with the Path of the Beast.
Creating a fictional god is in line with the path of beauty.
The light shines upon the earth, in line with the path of dedication.
According to the truth revealed by the Second Sun's death, the Second Sun's remains originally belonged to Wei Zhe and Sha Shiji - they used the power of the Second Sun to transform into the Veil of Balance.
At the same time, the new, gentler sun brings vitality, which is in line with the way of adaptation; preserving the deeds of the dead celestial beings is a principle from the path of dusk.
"Mithraism is a secret religion born from the 'memory of one, the promise of three, and the words of five,' blending the power of the nine great paths. Now it seems that the one who vetoed Mithra's birth... must be the Supreme Heaven."
Aiwass said so.
The world outside is still breaking apart.
But at this moment, the amber shield was suddenly hit hard -
Even the wanderer did not realize the crisis in advance.
A strong hatred, despair and murderous intent had already turned into a tangible black impact, causing the shield to vibrate violently!
"snake--"
It was a disembodied sound, hollow as an echo.
Hostile roars and growls echoed from the void: "How dare you appear before me!"
