Chapter 769: Chapter 152 What, the intelligence is fake?
Watching the sapphire Mockingbird flutter away leisurely, Aiwass merely revealed a lighthearted smile.
Now, Aiwass was no longer that afraid of Moriarty.
——That’s how the intelligence war is, seemingly calm but actually perilous.
A mere issue in the phrasing of a word could be torn open by a keen hunter, exposing such a huge flaw; just a difference in the information contained in a single sentence could instantly reverse the positions of strength and weakness between two people.
Although “knowledge is poisonous”… from another perspective, cognition itself is also a form of strength.
...
In a certain sense, “intelligence” is an extremely dangerous and twisted mystical power—on one hand, it can allow one to always take the lead, untraceably exploit others, see through others’ weaknesses, and leave people dizzy and frightened without even a trace of the enemy; but on the other hand, over-reliance on this power can poison the mind and make one arrogant, bind one’s hands and feet and gradually lose courage, and eventually backfire on oneself.
The moment Aiwass saw through the weakness in Professor Moriarty’s information, his heart immediately gave birth to a strong premonition that “I might be able to control and use him.”
“…I better not turn into the next James.”
He murmured softly, warning himself.
Although he had been imitating his foster father since childhood, Aiwass found that the more he grew, the more he resembled him.
His habits, temperament, and style were gradually converging.
Now his feelings toward his foster father were a mix of respect, pity, and caution.
Although not hateful, the professor was undoubtedly Aiwass’s greatest enemy—if there was a button that could kill Professor Moriarty with a press, Aiwass would press it immediately.
——Because the professor would really lay hands on the people around Aiwass, and Aiwass dared not act against him without clarity on the professor’s trump cards.
Although the Night Fiend was also of the Sixth Power Level, its combat time was limited.
If the professor didn’t die, or simply had the ability to resurrect—then once he became cautious and elevated his vigilance toward Aiwass, he might seriously start to engage in guerrilla warfare.
He could not attack Aiwass.
But he would definitely start to harass those close to Aiwass.
For a paranoid savior, all trash talk is ineffective.
And as a soul who once returned to the “Cicada Slough” period, Aiwass had no idea how many trump cards he had.
He didn’t have the talent for the Path of Beauty, yet he was able to stay in the Fairy Kingdom for so long.
It was probably because of his past life’s Extraordinary Profession as an “Elemental Instructor” or “Elemental Shaman,” after all, this was originally a professional system related to fairies.
It’s even possible that the Fairy Queen, a Celestial Marshal-level deity, was also on his side!
Therefore, Aiwass chose to hide all his trump cards in front of Professor Moriarty.
He would wait for the opportunity, understand the professor’s details thoroughly, and then launch a preemptive strike to take him down in one fell swoop!
With such a person, once you make a move, you absolutely must not give them a chance to escape!
However, speaking of the Fairy Queen…
Aiwass glanced over, and the Fairy Queen Titania had not awakened yet.
She leisurely leaned on her huge throne, curling up as if on a single-person sofa.
Even so, she still maintained elegance and beauty.
Since she hadn’t woken up yet, Aiwass felt no need to hurry out of this birdcage.
He simply sat cross-legged on the ground, sorting through the intelligence he had just acquired.
“…So, my foster father is indeed a ‘savior,’ a ‘traveler’ reborn from the apocalypse.
“The Ring of Ouroboros” signified that those who ascend will eventually descend, and those who descend will eventually ascend, like the sun rising and the moon setting; whereas “The Endless Knot” neither ascended nor descended, but constantly underwent chaotic transformations within the grand unified field.
If the Ring of Ouroboros cut out Aiwass because It contained too much Transcendence within,
then the Endless Knot, originally having more Balance than Transcendence, how could It possibly cut out a fragment that was adept in both Transcendence and Dedication like Aiwass?
Moreover, according to the professor, the power structure of the “Endless Knot” did not seem to include “Dedication” at all.
——As it stands, this is the biggest difference between the “Professor’s line” and the “Ring of Ouroboros line”!
“Could it be...
Candle Master has also intervened?”
Aiwass muttered to himself in a low voice.
But in this situation, it would be a good thing if the Pillar God intervened.
It meant that the scenario the foster father was aware of, which is the Pillar God turning a blind eye to the end of the world, didn’t actually exist.
The world might indeed be facing a crisis, but the “savior” was not just him alone.
At least some of the Pillar Gods were aware of the situation and were taking measures.
Maybe those Pillar Gods took an interest and provided protection to Aiwass precisely because he was a “variable”!
“But if that’s the case...”
Aiwass slightly furrowed his brow: “Why then did Bear Celestial Marshal still attack me, even attempting to kill me?”
Although It is now a Celestial Marshal, It was once one of the Pillar Gods, a member of “Supreme Heaven”!
Aiwass’s eyes lit up as he realized something:
——All the Pillar Gods that had shown favor to Aiwass were those who survived until the end!
Neither the previously defeated Bear Celestial Marshal nor the Serpent Father who would be “slain” in the future, none of them had made it to the “end of days” as described by Professor Moriarty.
Keep in mind, Aiwass’s adaptability on the Path of Transcendence was quite high.
Influenced by Queen Sofia before, he even lost control for a while, veering entirely toward the Path of Transcendence.
Moreover, at the very beginning, Aiwass autonomously awoke the hunger for the Path of Transcendence.
Not to mention, he might inherently be a fragment of the Ouroboros...
and the Ouroboros is legitimately the progeny of the Serpent Father.
Yet, not only the Candle Master from the Path of Devotion but even the Pillar Gods of the Path of Beauty, Path of Adaptation, Path of Authority, all came to him—still, the Serpent Father paid no attention to Aiwass at all.
Of course, this wasn’t a problem at all, quite the opposite, it was the normal state of affairs.
On the other hand, it was highly irregular for the Serpent Celestial Marshal to visit Aiwass all the time for no apparent reason.
And it was even more abnormal that a host of Pillar Gods were eyeing him when he hadn’t even set foot in their paths!
Perhaps, it wasn’t just Professor Moriarty who had returned at that time, but all the Pillar Gods of that era!
“It seems that the professor’s return and rebirth was no accident; he must have been a chess piece for some entity as well...”
Aiwass pondered.
Who could it be?
Candle Master?
Hourglass?
My new boss ‘Colorful Black,’ or...
...Amber?
