Chapter 733: Chapter 119: Those Who Often Kill Know...

In Aiwass’ right eye vision, countless white dots emerged from Cardinal Loki’s body like a surging river, constantly flowing towards Aiwass.

[Killing a Fifth Power Level Transcendent, gained 1500 free experience points]

An experience prompt appeared in front of Aiwass after a long absence, confirming that Cardinal Loki indeed died.

Ever since he took the position of Minister of the Department of Care of Magical Creatures, it had been a very long time since he personally killed anyone.

But...

Is this experience a bit too little?

...

A sliver of doubt rose in Aiwass’ heart.

Prince Wolfram the Giant had two thousand experience points, and Cardinal Loki, as the former Patriarch of the Supreme Heaven, was definitely much higher in level than him.

...But to say he didn’t die is also unlikely.

So far, none of those from whom Aiwass had reaped experience had survived.

Yet, Aiwass always felt that there was more to Cardinal Loki’s death than met the eye.

Because in the end, Loki clearly saw him but did not launch an attack—even though his attack might not be able to kill Aiwass, with Vinesse’s character, she would inevitably counterattack.

At that time, Loki might have a chance to counterattack or escape…

But instead, he chose to use a self-destruct with a very long wind-up.

Wasn’t he just waiting to be interrupted?

Plus, he himself said he wanted to skip the battle because he couldn’t beat Aiwass.

That means he was at least aware of the existence of Vinesse, who is at the Sixth Power Level.

Aiwass had thought that if he dared to start a war, he would bring out the “Perfect Being” as well—if it were a Perfect Being at the Sixth Power Level of both Paths, that would be an enemy that even the Eternal Pope would sweat to fight.

In that instance, it was essentially the Eternal Pope and the Perfect Being blasting each other with beams of Light in that expansion, with the Pope ultimately defeating the opponent, and the player only acting as an assist...

—There was no need for him to discard his identity.

...Can I pray to find out whether Cardinal Loki is really dead or not?

Such a thought crossed Aiwass’ mind.

But he soon dismissed it—

Except for apostles like Queen Sofia who had been designated early on, it typically takes about a week after death for individuals to be selected by the Pillar Gods and Celestial Marshals.

Not to mention, even if Cardinal Loki were actually dead, one couldn’t be sure where he might be drifting in some river...

And given Cardinal Loki’s ranking with the Candle Master, it was unlikely to get an answer by praying through the Candle Master.

“...The Candle Master actually trusts him so much.”

Aiwass muttered to himself.

Although the Candle Master’s stance cannot be judged by human concepts of good and evil, Their dedication and fervor for the Path of Devotion are unquestionable.

The Celestial Marshals of Flame, Candle, Dawn, and other envoys of the Path of Devotion hold great respect for the Candle Master, and the Candle Master is also very friendly towards them—

It is well known that the Candle Master has a severe tendency to favor Their own and values Their apostles more than other Celestial Marshals of the Path of Devotion, and values the Path of Devotion over other Paths.

For other professions on the Path of Devotion, cultivation is the same.

Only what one cherishes oneself has the meaning of being devoted.

A person who does not love their own family cannot complete their cultivation by renouncing the world.

A gift that one does not like, giving it to another, cannot be considered an act of devotion, it’s at best a utilitarian act— and utilitarianism belongs to the Path of Balance.

Although Aiwass had not yet begun formal training in Advanced Divine Arts...

The fact that Cardinal Loki could draw the power of the Candle Master through Advanced Divine Arts suggested that Loki’s final plan was personally endorsed by the Candle Master as an act of devotion.

This necessitated a reevaluation of Cardinal Loki’s motives by Aiwass.

According to Aiwass’ speculation, Cardinal Loki certainly wasn’t dead.

Before, because of Cardinal Loki’s words, which sounded too sincere, and especially since he had specifically stated, “The last lie hidden in the truth is the only one that matters,” Aiwass had subconsciously believed Loki’s words.
