Chapter 744: Chapter 129: Using the Warrior to Destroy the Future Chapter 744: Chapter 129: Using the Warrior to Destroy the Future “An advancement ceremony?
But my promotion to an extraordinary profession is the Serpent Celestial Marshal’s ‘Great Sin Scholar.’ If the Serpent Celestial Marshal harbors ill will towards me, have I chosen the wrong path?”
Aiwass was very worried, “Moreover, I am currently being hunted by the Bear Celestial Marshal...
Even if I am safe, those who promote along with me will also face danger.
It’s unfair to them as well.”
“The former is not an issue; the Serpent Celestial Marshal is your Shepherd.
Although He will see you as an enemy, He will, in fact, strive to protect and nurture you to the utmost until the appointed day arrives.”
The Lord of Scalefeather nodded contentedly, “So, this will be a solo promotion ceremony.
“—In the futures you can perceive, this should not be uncommon, right?”
...Indeed, there were.
Aiwass slowly nodded.
...
Apart from the New Moon Ceremony and the Full Moon Ceremony, there was also the “Lunar Eclipse Ceremony.”
This ceremony can only be held under two circumstances—the first is due to the imbalanced opening of game versions.
Based on the “Ring of Ouroboros” ceremony’s setup, level cap breakthrough progressions for different paths are disrupted.
Hence, under the circumstance of profession imbalance, there are always some who cannot complete the highest level promotion ceremony.
The second is in the middle and late stages of the game when new players who just joined cannot assemble a team of nine.
That’s because there aren’t that many newbies, and the paths of the newbies are not balanced.
Therefore, after a version update, the “Lunar Eclipse Ceremony” was introduced—a single-player high-difficulty raid, slightly more challenging than the New Moon Ceremony.
But considering the catch-up mechanics after the level cap increase, the attributes of new players will increase, so it’s not too difficult to handle.
Whales, little representatives, and streamers can also rush through the high-difficulty Lunar Eclipse Ceremony to break through the energy level limit and reach the new hard level cap after the version release.
But looking at the situation in this world...
The Lunar Eclipse Ceremony is actually a kind of proactive “Missing Position Ceremony.”
...Wait a minute?
Aiwass suddenly realized, “You will personally preside?
And my solo ceremony...”
“Yes.”
The Lord of Scalefeather stroked Aiwass’s head.
Although He had no face and thus no expressions could be discerned, Aiwass felt like His smile would be benevolent at this moment.
“You bear His triple brand...
Perhaps you could even lure the Bear Celestial Marshal in, right?
“If He takes the bait, you can be somewhat relieved afterward.
Even if He cautiously sends others as envoys, you can continue to cut off His limbs and weaken His power.”
“...Why are you targeting the Bear Celestial Marshal?”
Aiwass was somewhat confused.
If the Silver-Crowned Dragon was targeting the Bear Celestial Marshal, it would make sense, or if the Candle Master was targeting the Bear Celestial Marshal, Aiwass could understand.
But it was the Lord of Scalefeather who was actively attacking from the shadows.
“Hmm, how should I put this.”
The Lord of Scalefeather crossed His arms, pondering the answer.
Suddenly He laughed, “Ah, let’s say this.
You must have played those fantasy-themed RPG games, right?”
“...Yes.”
Aiwass answered, feeling quite odd.
Because in his understanding, this world was from the game “Ring of Ouroboros.”
“This world, it’s like a fantasy-themed RPG.
And in this game, there are Paladins, Mages, Assassins, Archers, Priests, Monks, Necromancers...
but have you ever felt that something is missing?”
“...Missing, a warrior?”
—The most obvious change would be that both Avalon and Black Hawk will become much stronger in an instant.
Both Star Antimony and Narcissus are essentially nations of casters, while Iris Flower is a land of love and beauty, plus they manipulate the underworld with the Path of Adaptation.
It would be very difficult for them to hatch a large number of warriors.
However, for Avalon, the descendants of knights, and the former Black Hawk Principality, known for producing mercenaries, the number of their domestic Transcendents could potentially double in an instant.
Not to mention other places—those areas where frictions and wars frequently occur will instantly have a large number of Transcendents emerge, and in a short period, they could upgrade to around the third Energy Level.
The entire world situation will change.
The future will tilt entirely in a direction unwitnessed by Aiwass.
But then...
“—I agree.”
Aiwass nodded in agreement.
...That being said, compared to the Serpent Celestial Marshal, he was more willing to trust the Lord of Scalefeather.
Professor Moriarty.
Grandfather Jacob.
Cardinal Loki.
Those three, each harboring their own thoughts and hidden within the Darkness, could finally allow Aiwass a glimpse of that tip of the iceberg in the night after he learned of a part of his identity.
Although he still could not fathom their full extent, under the mutual interference of these three, Aiwass finally grasped the head of that knotted rope!
Loki and Moriarty, who could learn many secrets through stargazing, and Jacob, who is suspected to be a Serpent Celestial Marshal Angel Envoy and summoned Aiwass to the Lower Realm...
they all had laid out their plans for far too long.
Even though Aiwass had some understanding of this world, after all, that was a part of the memory given by the Serpent Celestial Marshal.
It was the part that He decided to discard!
If one wanted to defeat the Serpent Celestial Marshal, it was necessary to break free from the prophecy He bestowed.
Just like a lamb must eventually escape from the pen.
—And what he could do was to overturn the table.
To directly change the world, to sabotage everyone’s plans, to make everyone as equal as possible again!
Another chess player needed to be introduced here—the Lord of Scalefeather.
As a master who would disrupt the chess game, the Bear Celestial Marshal was an important part of His plan.
Just as squeezing juice from the Erinyes, the Lord of Scalefeather also coveted the residual strength of the Bear Celestial Marshal.
To change the whole world’s situation...
and thereby destroy the pre-determined future.
“...
Then let me be the one to stir the nest.”
Aiwass took a deep breath and slowly said, “If the Bear can’t be killed, I’ll remove His limbs, peel off His skin, strip Him down to nothingness...”
“Don’t worry, there’s a share for you too.”
The Lord of Scalefeather touched Aiwass’s bloodied chest and said in a low voice, “After all, I am indeed...
“—the God of Light Speed Payment, the Generous God.”
Aiwass was startled.
...Wait, He heard that?
As the words of the Lord of Scalefeather fell, the world around them broke apart once more.
In a daze, Aiwass woke up to see Cardinal Cyril still sitting serenely in his place.
“It seems you two have had a good talk.”
The old Cardinal nodded with satisfaction, “Now there’s only one step left.”
Aiwass looked down upon hearing this.
He saw that the Ring of Ouroboros on his chest had vanished without trace—its edge had contracted and turned into black Sin Thorns like a scar, shaped like a vertical slit of an eye.
Inside the slit was now a high-quality emerald, looking like a jadeite raw stone with a split cracked open in it.
“Before completing the last step, it’s time to have your outfit made to order.”
Cardinal Cyril asked with a smile, “What color do you like?
“I’m talking about your Cardinal Bishop Attire—what color do you think suits you?”
