Chapter 825: Chapter 204 Am I About to Die?
“...Uh.”
Aiwass faltered.
He stared at the “final payment” given by Lord of Scalefeather, engulfed in silence.
Under any circumstance and worldview, unconditional resurrection is considered a top-notch benefit.
After all, that is genuinely a second life.
In a real world, who would complain about having too many resurrection armors?
...
Even if it were Bear Someone, it surely would want the resurrection armor burst out from its own corpse to help win the resurrection match.
Of course, if Aiwass obtained this trait from anywhere else, he would be extremely pleased… Those plans previously shelved due to dangers could now also be attempted with a second life.
It’s like “Won’t play without full health”—conversely, having more health and lives makes one braver.
…But the problem is, this thing was given to him by the Lord of Scalefeather.
Lord of Scalefeather’s main field is prophecy and Prophet, and with uncanny accuracy—in terms of results, He seems to be able even to see the future downfall of Pillar Gods and the developments in different world lines.
And such a powerful and mysterious Prophet quietly handed Aiwass a set of resurrection armor.
Especially after Aiwass mastered the Advanced Divine Art and signed a contract with, and completed a ritual for, the Lord of Scalefeather.
The implication is, getting me as a substitute player would be useless.
An image of a crying cat meme involuntarily appeared in Aiwass’s mind:
—Am I about to die?
“...However, to put it positively, this also counts as the Lord of Scalefeather declaring to intervene in the future.”
Aiwass comforted himself.
If the Lord of Scalefeather respected the future enough to either stand by passively or actively involve himself to let the future fulfill itself, he could have given Aiwass another reward or subtly hinted.
Since He provided Aiwass with a set of resurrection armor, that means He at least hopes Aiwass can survive—put another way, since He only gave one set of resurrection armor, perhaps the crisis won’t be too severe.
Not to the extent of presenting Aiwass with challenges he couldn’t handle even with multiple lives.
“That expression… is very subtle.”
Sherlock steadied Aiwass’s arm, jokingly saying, “It’s like you’ve been hugely startled yet are trying to comfort yourself that it’s all fine now—like you’ve just come off a roller coaster.@@@@
What in the world did you see in the ritual?”
“That would be a long story...”
Aiwass shook his head, his voice hoarse as he slowly walked a few steps with Sherlock’s support.
Just that much, and he could feel his heart pounding intensely.
Due to prolonged fasting and dehydration, his body was in an extremely weakened state—this was a preparation Aiwass made for the intense ascension ritual.
Now it proved, his caution was correct.
If he hadn’t consumed Dream Intoxicant and used this ritual sacrifice, Aiwass might have already been trembling all over and abruptly awakened from the dream the moment he directly faced the Supreme Heaven.
Seeing Aiwass’s pale face, Sherlock thought for a moment, then took a red potion from the flask hanging on his belt and handed it to Aiwass: “Drink some first.”
I could also use some more sleep.”
“I thought you wouldn’t feel sleepy.”
Aiwass looked back slightly in surprise: “After all, you stay up all night studying in Avalon.”
“It’s different from that simple, mechanical-like research.
The Codex Book can be brain-burning, and for efficiency and safety, reading it requires full energy.
Guarding the ritual cost me a whole night...
I can’t afford to waste any more time.”
Sherlock yawned as if it didn’t matter, and said: “Mainly because...
everyone either reads the new Codex or completes an advancement.
“...That makes me feel like if I don’t get a bit more serious, I might fall behind all of you.”
“Indeed.”
Aiwass chuckled softly: “Just like you.”
He had already guessed Sherlock’s thoughts.
Sherlock was undoubtedly very proud.
Apart from his elder brother, he had respected very few people in his life.
But Aiwass had now passed the test of Advanced Divine Arts and become the earthly representative of the Lord of Scalefeather.
He was just a step away from becoming the Cardinal Principal Bishop of the Theocracy.
And how old is Aiwass this year?
He had just celebrated his birthday not long ago, and he is now just nineteen years old.
And how old is Sherlock?
His birthday is on January 6, and he is now twenty-eight years old.
If one could say that Aiwass becoming the Minister of the Department of Care of Magical Creatures was lucky… that was undoubtedly linked to his surname “Moriarty” and meeting Princess Isabel in a dream.
Even Aiwass’s contact with Fourth Level didn’t elicit much reaction from Sherlock...
considering he had already reached that stage a long time ago, but had refused the possibility of ascending to the Fourth Level through the Path of Authority.
But now, Aiwass at Fourth Level on dual paths, soon to become the first human Cardinal of the Theocracy—this was truly an indisputable, exceptional talent.
Transcendental.
He was a true star.
Sherlock would never envy others...
that was also his pride and self-esteem.
After truly recognizing Aiwass’s exceptional talent, and admitting that Aiwass was superior to himself, Sherlock sincerely started taking things seriously.
Although he still appeared relaxed and casual, Aiwass felt that the genius’s mindset was completely different now—he truly placed himself in the position of a “learner” and “follower,” setting aside his pride to start learning anew.
“Keep it up.”
Encouraged by Aiwass, he played with the mirror as he went upstairs.
Lily was on the second floor, completing her Egg Moon Manual separation ritual.
