Pastor's Tantra

Aleister did not hesitate for too long.

Because for her, there is only one answer.

In this timeline, the Ring of Tail incident did not happen, and the material world and the dream world were completely separated, so all kinds of world-destroying disasters lacked a foundation. Aiwass did not become the savior, but lived peacefully with Isabel as a prince until his old age... In this case, Huan Tiansi and Aiwass are no longer enemies.

As a new path that was born out of thin air less than a hundred years ago, it is not easy to give birth to the sixth energy level. Aiwass is completely likely to become the strongest transmuter and the emperor of elements as "Huan Tiansi's closest person". Not to mention, the angel in front of him is obviously using the power of elements.

And people who have no understanding of Aiwass may also regard the angel in front of him as the living apostle of the "Endless Knot". After all, He clearly said that He came on the orders of the Endless Knot.

...But for Aleister, both of them are undoubtedly wrong answers.

Because to her, Aiwas could only have one identity, and she would only accept one answer.

Aleister pushed open the door with "Eternal Pope" written on it without hesitation.

——Only the Eternal Pope Aiwas was the Aiwas that Aleister knew in the past.

Aleister walked forward resolutely in the fantasy corridor, and many thoughts emerged in his mind.

Pastoral method...

Why would the pastoral method activated by the blood of the shepherd be effective for Aiwas?

Isn't the shepherd an apostle of Huantiansi?

Unless the shepherd himself is a part of Huantiansi, just like...

"Am I the same as Aiwas...?"

Aleister murmured in a low voice.

The mysterious skill that Huantiansi used to cut Aiwas out was not the gap between the two yin and yang of the sand clock... but His unique method of cutting off the tail. As the name suggests, cutting off the tail to survive... that means that the "tail" must be renewable.

If Aiwass was not the first "tail cut off", and there was another tail cut off before - maybe it was the Shepherd!

She vaguely remembered that she had seen a work in her previous life. One of the villains in it had the ability to share his power with others. Then after the other party was trained, he would take it back.

Aleister still had this vague impression, which meant that he must have seen it in his previous life. But her memory was not clear, which meant that Huantiansi did not share this part of the memory with them.

Separate the self, nurture power, and then take back the self...

... So that's what "Ouroboros" means?

The method of cutting off the tail, the art of raising the tail... Ouroboros!

——The answer was on the puzzle from the beginning!

Now the Shepherd has obviously been swallowed by Huantiansi again, and the part that belongs to the Shepherd has belonged to Huantiansi itself. That's why Huantiansi wanted to use the ritual of the ring of tails on the Fallen Angel... The Fallen Angel had already been raised by the Shepherd, so He needed to take back the "lamb" of the Fallen Angel!

But...

As long as his dedication is not shaken, the established pastoral method is almost unsolvable. The pastor almost succeeded in pastoring the Fallen Angel, but there was an oversight at the last moment.

When he tried to sacrifice the Fallen Angel to himself, the pastoral method backfired and took away all his power.

...But what if.

The pastor did it on purpose?

If the pastor himself is the "devotion fragment" cut off by the ring heaven, that is to say, his essence is very similar to Aiwas. His desire for dedication is so strong that he can pastor the Fallen Angel... This means that his desire for dedication is even purer than Aiwas.

——How can such a fifth-level or even sixth-level extraordinary person easily deviate from his own path?

And it is so rebellious-completely destroying the foundation of his own path, causing his skills to backfire directly!

Unless...

The pastor's choice to actively devour the "Fallen Angel" is itself a kind of dedication!

He realized his own nature and the fate of the Fallen Angels - if he devoured the power of the Fallen Angels and was devoured by the Ring of Heaven, the Ring of Heaven would be able to obtain all the power of the Fallen Angels.

That's why he would use this method... even at the cost of his own life, to release the Fallen Angels from this conspiracy.

Because the ritual had not yet been completed, the Ring of Heaven was obsessed with the Tail Ring ritual and had to be the first to pull the Fallen Angels down.

The purpose was to become a complete "Tail Ring" - because there was still a part of the Shepherd's essence in the Fallen Angels!

And if the Tail Ring ritual was not completed, He could only become the "Endless Knot", which was the hidden danger left by the Shepherd in the past!

Just like Aiwas in the form of an angel read out Heleqin's name and summoned the Flame of the Rebellious Butterfly... He didn't need to do this at all. And there was only one possibility for His abnormal behavior now.

- That was that He was asking for help from Himself.

Even if the Ring of Heaven used the Shepherd's blood for shepherding, it was not a normal way of shepherding after all. Because the current Huan Tiansi simply does not have the desire to dedicate himself to match his power beyond the Dao.

Aleister still has a chance to turn the tables!

He just needs to use a stronger and purer pastoral method to cover the pastoral care of Huan Tiansi!

——The liquid soul hanging around her neck is the soul fragment left behind when Aiwass's path of devotion reached the fourth level. If she drinks it or puts it into her body, she can temporarily obtain part of the soul belonging to "Aiwass" and achieve balance on her path.

Both are at the fourth energy level, and the power of the path is exactly balanced!

...However, that was originally the treasure that Aleister planned to use to rebuild his phantom body.

She originally wanted to use this bottle of liquid soul to transform herself into a blood angel, so she finally got it back from Isabel. If you want to turn yourself into a beast of sin, this bottle of liquid soul is a necessary material. All of this is to prevent myself from being forgotten...

Therefore, even when little Fernando's injury required treatment, Aleister remained silent.

——But now, Aleister has no choice.

If you want to keep the unconscious Aiwass, you must use it.

even……

...and not only that.

"Not only that..."

She stopped in front of the third painting and murmured in a low voice: "Not only that..."

—More is needed.

To ensure success.

To ensure the success of pastoral care...

Because there is only one bottle of this soul...she has no second chance.

At this time, the metal door was almost completely broken.

Aleister finally saw clearly what the originally dark yellow claw marks with a cuticle-like texture were—

That's...amber.

The semi-solidified amber sealed inside the gate!

It was as if it had been scratched crazily, leaving countless unforgettable scratches like scabs from wild beasts.

But even so, the scarred Amber Gate was still not destroyed. Not even a single crack was penetrated.

"No matter how crazy the beast is, the Amber Wall still stands... Such an apt metaphor."

Aleister stepped out of the door with his final determination.

It is the door of scars, the door of silence.

This is the seventh time Aleister has answered a question...and the eighth time he has stepped into the world of the promotion ceremony.

The holy number is eight...this is the number of transcendence.

It is also the number of transformation!
