Chapter 861 Four golden characteristics!
Those who were either alive, dead, or lingering in the gap between life and death, all had light curtains appear before their eyes.
The maniacally laughing Moon Child raised a mountain of blood without hesitation, piercing through a line of guests and throwing them away;
Aiwass, with flowers in his eyes, cut the neck of the guest kneeling before him;
Aiwas's head was on top of the candlestick icon, and all the remaining pure white was painted bright red;
The white horse that soars in the sky and summons thunder, and the giant bear that raises the mountains face off in the air;
The pupils of the carnivore white horse turned black and red, the bear hide on his back burned with flames, and the fox that had been standing on his back squatted in the corner;
The mole, laughing as he devoured the lion's liver, looked back at the old dog standing at the door, backlit.
The light purple sky was dotted with silvery-white stars, a deep purple river surged like waves, and a faceless black figure stood before him, a smile either happy or sinister spread across his lips.
Runes rotated behind the blurred angel, and a shower of meteors and fire fell from the purple-red sky;
And the final scene...
Aleister took out his scythe and turned himself into a red crystal ice sculpture, which shattered with a crisp bang!
——Only the two people who had left early did not see this scene.
Aiwass watched these scenes with a complicated look.
In those scenes... it was almost all me.
[——And I. I am with you.]
An ethereal voice sounded in Aiwass's ears.
——That was an illusion, belonging to Aleister’s consciousness.
Just like the "complete pastoral method" that Aiwass used in his first promotion ceremony - if you sacrifice your life, you can give your soul and consciousness to the other party.
The deformed-limbed demon's personal consciousness was not strong, so Aiwass was able to directly control the demon's body at that time; if the other party was a demon with a clear personal consciousness, his soul could also hide in the other party's body and wait for the other party to help him resurrect.
The situations of Aleister and Aiwass are rather special.
Although the Eternal Pope inherited the name "Evans," he was not the complete Evans. When Aleister's soul entered Evans' body, the two souls severed by the "Eternal Gap" reunited. For they were originally one... the two parts of the true Evans, now perfectly reunited.
Aiwas' soul and memory are complete again, and have returned to the state before being cut - even more complete than then, reaching the true peak state so far.
— Compared to his original, murky and unclear will, which even he himself felt lost in, often lost or deviated temporarily due to the impulses of the path, now, after experiencing separation and reassembly, Aiwass has completely understood the cause of every thought and every instant of his inner thoughts.
Nothingness or love, devotion or transcendence—he was no longer confused.
Theoretically speaking, when the two souls merge again... all traces of Aleister will disappear completely.
Because there is no such person as "Aleister" in this world - she is just the "shadow" of Aiwass. When Aiwass becomes complete, the incomplete will naturally become a part of the whole.
However, they were not stitched together again by the Sand Clock... but were fused in another way.
This is a miracle that can only be achieved in the dream world—
In the "Allow Death" promotion ceremony, the soul of Aiwas, who had fully experienced death and was actually in the dream world, had become a phantom demon like the undead; this made it possible to accept "shepherding flesh and blood".
Aleister also has in his hand one-third of the soul separated from Aiwas when the Path of Dedication was promoted to the fourth level. Together with Aleister who has transcended the Path, it just meets the conditions for using the shepherding method. By using the complete shepherding method, one can deposit his soul and consciousness into the body of the shepherded phantom demon, allowing the other party to help him resurrect.
——So compared to normal fusion, an extra consciousness appeared out of thin air.
This gave Aiwass the possibility to resurrect Aleister...Now she is clinging to Aiwass like a banshee.
Although the resurrected Aleister is no longer half of Aiwass - because Aiwass is completely complete and no longer lacks "the part she has".
But for Aleister, this might be considered a new life.
She was completely freed from her fate.
As for the lack of soul—that wasn't a problem for Aiwass.
Aiwass already possessed the ability to dissolve his soul. Once his soul recovered, a portion of his liquid soul could be extracted to form the foundation for Aleister's resurrection. This wouldn't harm anyone, and it wouldn't contaminate Aleister's memories or consciousness. As for the lack of a physical body, hadn't Aleister already prepared for it?
——Use the remains of Sasha to transform into a Blood Angel.
Just as she wished.
"...No wonder Sizhu said to me, 'This ceremony may be of vital importance to you.'"
Aiwass's expression was complicated: "So this is the opportunity..."
He originally thought that Huantiansi had intervened in the ceremony.
But if Huan Tiansi intervened, given his personality... after Aleister sacrificed himself, he would most likely be unable to accept defeat and would be eliminated directly. However, until the end, Aiwass did not see Huan Tiansi...
Only then did he realize that this was just the future simulated by Si Zhu.
——The theme of this third painting is the Ring of Heaven, the Endless Knot, and the Ring of Tail!
Aiwass himself is the protagonist of the painting!
So, it is modern...
While Aiwas was thinking, the score sheet appeared:
[Necessary tasks completed]
Endless Feast: Complete Tower of Feast in Another Way (Completed)
[Total points of "Feast Tower" are 3000, contribution points are 2590]
Animal World: Completing The White Horse King in Another Way (Completed)
[The total points of "White Horse King" are 4500, and the contribution points are 2200]
【Goodbye: Completing "Stay with Me" in Another Way (Completed)】
[Total points of "Stay with Me" is 6000, contribution points is 5800]
【Total score 10590, ranked first】
[Special Victory "Holy Resurrection" Completed]
With a burst of golden light, the ethereal angelic body of Aiwass was gradually carved into flesh.
His diffused consciousness gradually converged, and his soul state returned to a physical body. His five senses gradually recovered and became clearer; the omnipotent perception of his soul state was gradually suppressed.
…In the end no one will live because of sin.
So it really is a trap... No, it can't be called a trap.
If we could change a few paintings, it might be possible. But this last painting was too difficult, leaving no room for infighting among the promoted...
"…The necessary task is to escape from the painting."
Aiwass murmured softly: "When was it..."
He paused, then suddenly realized.
That was the time of the last choice - he left the painting first, and then the painting was completed!
In other words, these "nine questions" are the real trap!
You have to stay with the problem at least once before you can leave it.
In other words, you can only answer the question eight times at most, otherwise it will be built into the last painting when you complete the painting!
...Is this also some kind of metaphor?
This world has been restarted eight times, which means that this itself is the ninth reincarnation.
If it is put into the "painting", it means that eight questions have been answered and there is one last question.
——In other words, if you answer the question one more time and don’t leave, you will never be able to leave again.
"……etc?"
Aiwass's eyes widened.
He suddenly realized what Sizhu...or the Twin Mirror wanted to say to him.
The ninth question refers to the ninth reincarnation.
——If you don’t “leave” this time, you will never be able to leave again!
Does Sizhu want me to leave?
"Of course you can leave. This is your last chance."
A warm and steady voice, like that of a loving father, rang out in the space: "But if you don't leave this time, you won't be able to leave.
"You will also become the 'person in the painting'... That's why the child is so anxious."
Watching the bloody stag covered in sinful thorns slowly coming out from the depths with light steps.
Aiwass subconsciously argued, "But...if I leave, what will happen to the people in this world?"
"—Either be trapped in the cycle of reincarnation forever, or fall into the twilight."
Sizhu's voice was gentle: "Just like the choices you have seen.
"You don't belong to this world, child. You yourself are just a lost soul... yet you bear such a heavy responsibility. There's no reason in this world to hold someone who arrives halfway responsible.
"So you can leave until the very last moment."
"...Is this the reason why you didn't stop Huan Tiansi?"
Aiwas opened his eyes wide and realized Sizhu's attitude very clearly.
Sizhu - and possibly other pillar gods, they are not unaware of Huantiansi's little moves.
But they also know that the road ahead is bleak.
If you can't make up your mind to perish together, it's better to escape from this broken ship before the last moment.
So they supported Aiwass but did not oppose Huantiansi.
Because they have become "Pillar Gods" - as the pillars of this world, they can no longer leave.
“…I don’t want to leave.”
After a long silence, Aiwass answered firmly: "There are people in this world who love me, there are people who need me. There are people I have to save, and there are people I have to kill.
"My bond lies here—returning to another world, isn't that the same as leaving my homeland again? If I reopen a wound that has already healed into a scar, will it ever heal back to the way it was before the injury?
"I don't have a home there anymore... My home is here."
"Then I hope you like this home, child."
Si Zhu said gently.
Although it was just a deer, Aiwass seemed to see a happy smile on its face.
He nuzzled Aiwass affectionately and said softly, "The hungry have nothing to think about, and the lonely have nothing to love.
"—drink my blood... and sing and speak."
As the candlelight whispered, blood oozed from his neck.
Aiwass opened his mouth subconsciously, and they fell into his mouth.
The next moment, six entries suddenly appeared in front of Aiwass.
——Not three, but six!
Three golds and three purples.
Three dedications, three transcendences!
Because both the Path of Dedication and the Path of Transcendence are Aiwass, and there is only one person left alive, and the maximum number of places for promotion is three.
Therefore, when Aleister merged with Aiwass, it was equivalent to him winning on both paths!
[Noble Sacrifice (Purple): When you use "Sacrifice", you will lose 33% of your maximum health to double the effect of this sacrifice. This can only be used three times per month.]
[Endless Mercy (Gold): Your healing can revive the recently deceased.]
[Four-Color Wings (Purple): You gain four-color wings. When activated, you can change your mana pool entirely to one of the elements of wind, earth, water, and fire. Each color can only be used once per day.]
[Elemental Emperor (Gold): All your spells and abilities involving the elements of air, earth, water, and fire gain +1 priority (divine)]
[Serpent of Transcendence (Gold): When you defeat an enemy with a higher power level, gain an additional +2 priority (divinity) for the next judgment.]
Priority bonuses from the same source (such as divinity) are only calculated once.
And with a clanging sound, one of the purple ones turned into gold!
[Grace of the Pillar God——]
【Sizhu has promoted an entry for you! 】
[Choose the Candle's Horn (Gold): You drink the blood from Choose the Candle's neck and become Choose the Candle's son]
