Chapter 823: Chapter 202: 3 Golden Traits!

In the pitch black yet warm world, Aiwass struggled to open his eyes and gaze at the three groups of starlike golden brilliance in front of him.

This was three purples turned to three golds!

—This was the first time Aiwass had seen three golden traits in a Promotion Ceremony.

It was not just three golds but three purples gilded with gold… The odds of this happening were probably even less than encountering three pure golds.

Aiwass steadied his mind a bit and took a closer look at these three traits.

...

Without a doubt...

If one talked about the “gold content,” then the trait given by the Lord of Scalefeather was surely the strongest.

All “warriors” belonging to Aiwass would trigger an almost perpetual +1 to their rolls—unlimited in number, duration, or distance.

This meant that Aiwass’s Fourth Power Level warriors could function like those of the Fifth Level, and those of the Fifth like those of the Sixth.

Considering that warriors inherently excel in combat against enemies of a higher Power Level than themselves, this Path Feature could almost be called a “god-level” enhancement, and the feature might even have been constructed from a Celestial Marshal Shard of the Bear Celestial Marshal.

Those who acquired this feature could even establish a “Warrior’s Nation,” reigning over it as an earthly god and ruling the world...

...If Aiwass truly wished to rule the world.

“That guy, the boss...”@@@@

Aiwass let out a wry smile.

Seeing this trait, Aiwass understood what the Lord of Scalefeather meant.

It was a test—a test of how resolute Aiwass’s true intention was to resist the Serpent Celestial Marshal.

If Aiwass decided to give up, then just with this Path Feature, he could become “Moriarty the First,” a world-renowned Monarch remembered in history books as a page that could not be skipped over, even before being consumed by the Serpent Celestial Marshal.

This was also a recognition and a boast, meaning “Your achievements are indeed that great.”

—Of course, this was the first Path Feature that Aiwass eliminated.

Based on previous experience, if Aiwass rejected this feature, the Lord of Scalefeather would compensate him from elsewhere.

Yet the Hourglass and the Silver-Crowned Dragon would not be so generous.

However, the choice between the remaining two Path Features still left Aiwass in a quandary for a while.

Both of these Path Features were ones Aiwass had not seen in the game.

They were clearly of the noble special edition type belonging to bosses or faction leaders.

Regarding the Command Crown, what he was unclear about was “exactly what are the characteristics of the transformed summoned creatures,” and “whether it is possible to circumvent the limit that theoretically, only one Great Sin Beast can be present at the same time.”

As for Yin-Yang Harmony, Aiwass was not certain about the concept of the “sum of the mana of paired and opposite attributes”—the other point being unclear was the “specific nature of the different enhancement effects.”

Even so, Aiwass could understand the purpose of these two Path Features.

Without doubt, the objective of the Command Crown was to transform Aiwass from a summoner in the rear to a combat unit.

This also related to the motivation of the Silver-Crowned Dragon—who had previously expressed dissatisfaction with Aiwass “always watching from behind” and even specifically requested the Lord of Scalefeather to provide Aiwass with skill energy reimbursements.

Thus, the dragon provided Aiwass with the capability to “stop watching from the side,” to prevent Aiwass from continuing to find excuses.

It was like a direct teaching.

—Truly befitting of a Pillar God of the Path of Authority, there was a certain generous yet assertive leadership quality.

The issue here was that if the Great Sin Scholar continued to advance, Aiwass himself would acquire the ability to merge the currently deployed Great Sin Beast with his own body.

It’s like transforming the dispatched Great Sin Beast into a powerful mech, and as the pilot, Aiwass’s own equipment would basically be ineffective.

As the nearly sole professional feature of the third-tier profession, its effect would definitely be stronger than a Path Feature obtained at level thirty.

It didn’t even count as a succession of Pillar Gods, and strictly speaking, it was not as significant as the Ouroboros Ritual...

at least the Ouroboros Ritual brought a living Celestial Marshal down to the Material Realm.

This time it essentially amounted to trapping a Pillar God in a sack for a brutal group beating—Aiwass lured the Bear Celestial Marshal only to partake in a merciless mauling.

...Even so.

Aiwass felt an upsurge of ambition—more precisely, a restlessness tinged with near shame, excitement, and impatience.

—In this battle, he ended up completely unnecessary.

He didn’t even make eye contact with the Bear Celestial Marshal, let alone deliver a finishing blow.

In order not to harm Aiwass, the Lord of Scalefeather didn’t even show him the true battle scene.

The Bear Celestial Marshal was a remnant of Supreme Heaven, and Aiwass was considered a remnant of the Serpent Celestial Marshal.

Both took part, yet there was such a difference—one side required the cooperation of several Pillar Gods for a successful kill, while the other couldn’t even bear a glance for fear of incurring irreparable damage.

It was just like being treated like a baby.

If it had been an ordinary person—even just a normal one, perhaps they would have been jubilant to dip into such an expansive chess game, to engage in a few words with the real power players.

—But I want to be part of it.

Next time, I will not possibly be used as a mere bait.

I will never again be a pet-like figure to be protected—I must place myself in danger, even if I’m not the main force in the battle!

I want to truly be part of the plan, not as a “hostage” to be rescued, an “apprentice” to be examined, or a “civilian” to be insulated from battlefields!

I even want to lay down traps myself...

Not just as a chess piece, but to become the player!

Perhaps it was this unexpectedly surfacing, almost demonic self-esteem that prevented Aiwass from accepting the gift from the Silver-Crowned Dragon.

Because it was a gift, but at the same time, it was teaching—also a form of control.

Of course, this wasn’t malicious, but completely benevolent instruction.

But...

Aiwass had his own views, his own plans, his own pace.

...Perhaps the Lord of Scalefeather foresaw this moment, hence he chose a path feature for Aiwass that was valuable but clearly not to Aiwass’s immediate preference, to save him from internal conflicts and to help him see his heart more clearly.

This degree of path feature normally existed as the core of a system.

The Silver-Crowned Dragon had effectively created another core for Aiwass—based on the role of the Great Sin Scholar instead of the Master of Beasts profession core ability; whereas the Hourglass simply filled in his most lacking areas: a mix of different Mana Pool colors, and too much unused idle mana.

Just like the path he belonged to.

Balance.

Like a merchant stringing resources together.

He merely coordinated Aiwass’s own chaos, without offering any suggestions or opinions.

If he was to be a true Avalonian, Aiwass should follow the teachings of the Silver-Crowned Dragon.

But he...

Perhaps he would have the chance to become a new Pillar God.

There was only one choice then.

“I choose...

Yin-Yang Harmony,”

Aiwass became enlightened to his true heart.
