Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 1005 Ares, the Destroyer of Nations (asking for monthly tickets at the beginning of the month!)
——Yes, Ying Tiansi and Heleqin still have a very faint connection.

Seeing that Arsen was still somewhat confused, Aiwass told him the story of Shadow Tiansi:
"Ying Tianshi is a very young Tianshi. Before she became Tianshi, she was a priestess of the Supreme Heaven. As a privilege of the giant race, she was directly fished out of the source river by the Supreme Heaven after her death and became one of the 100,000 apostles of the Supreme Heaven.

"As a giant, she once could not understand the principle of revenge. So she could not understand why Heleqin wanted to massacre giants, nor why giants wanted to massacre humans and elves. She believed that revenge would lead to meaningless fighting, which would only make everyone unhappy. She did not agree with the revenge of humans, nor did she agree with the revenge of giants, because fighting would trigger evolution, and if one wanted to rule forever, one needed to eliminate all fighting.

"So she tried to plead for the elves in front of the Supreme God - but it was obvious that the Supreme God was unhappy. So he forcibly humiliated Shadow Tiansi in front of the apostles, deprived her of all her "power", expelled her from her own kingdom, and ordered the apostles to hunt her down.

"This time, Ying Tiansi understood what 'revenge' meant. The Kingdom of Shadows was not created by her. At that time, it was called the Shadow Realm... It was the core of all shadow forces, with many extremely dangerous natives including the 'Demon Pig', the 'Hundred-Headed Snake', the 'Shadow Hunter', the 'Shadow Demon', etc. She hid in it to avoid being hunted down, and at the same time accidentally obtained the authority of betrayal and revenge in the shadow realm..."

The former Pope spoke so nonchalantly about the secret that made Yassen so frightened that he wanted to cover his ears.

——These are all the contents of "Advanced Divine Arts".

In fact, the entire book of advanced divine arts is basically the background and dark history of the pillar gods, celestial officials, and apostles.

With this thing in hand, you can know what others are afraid of, so as to avoid accidentally stepping on landmines when you come into contact with them. For example, Aiwass certainly cannot summon Heleqin in front of Ying Tiansi, as it will most likely remind people of some unpleasant past.

But in fact, even the things recorded in "Higher Divine Arts" are not necessarily 100% true - for example, it records that "Shadow Celestial Master promoted the fall of Supreme Heaven - he completed the 'Ritual of Betrayal and Revenge' with the fall of the Pillar God, and thus ascended to the position of Shadow Celestial Master". However, according to what Aiwass knew, the mastermind behind the fall of Supreme Heaven should be Huan Celestial Master.

To be precise, this was the result of a joint plan by the two pillar gods, Wei Zhe and Sha Shiji, as well as the Tiansi, Ying Tiansi and other Tiansi. Ying Tiansi was actually just the least important part... Rather than planning, it was more like going with the flow.

However, the atrocities committed by the Supreme Heaven in the past did have an impact on her. After occupying the Shadow Kingdom as her own Celestial Domain, the Shadow Celestial Realm realized that she had gained power, so she began to do whatever she wanted like the Supreme Heaven and satisfy her own fantasies. This included the habit of collecting various souls, which also began at that time.

But Ying Tiansi was not a violent person after all. Even though he had completely indulged his desires and turned himself into a tyrant who did whatever he wanted, compared to the crazy Xue Tiansi, he was still rational and gentle.

Moreover, even after becoming a celestial being and completely understanding revenge and betrayal, and even personally completing revenge and betrayal against her creator, father god, and monarch, she did not abandon her original idea - she still believed that revenge was not worth promoting, and it could only be used as a "last resort". Therefore, after completing her revenge, she was not happy.

That's why she decided to take the power of betrayal and revenge and guard the warriors raised by the Shadow Kingdom to prevent them from falling into the hands of the more evil gods. Although those warriors are her lovers, they are also her protectors.

Because of this, Shadow Tiansi never gives power to betrayers... But sometimes she will secretly help some avengers who are really miserable and mutter her divine name, at least to let them persevere until they complete their revenge.

There is a high probability that the Avengers and the Betrayer will come to the Kingdom of Shadows - if they have not been branded with a serious crime.

Although most of them were abandoned by Ying Tiansi because of their appearance, most of the Avengers who were helped would thank Ying Tiansi after their death.

These monsters, in addition to preying on mortals who strayed into the Shadow Kingdom, would also prey on the wandering souls of the Avengers. Therefore, the warriors of the Shadow Kingdom usually chose to escort those souls all the way into the castle. But no one would entertain outsiders like them.

That's why Aiwas wanted to call Morgan over before.

Among the people he knew in the Shadow Kingdom, Vivian had already been reincarnated, Lancelot was not dead yet so he could not be summoned, and Merlin would never dare to come to the Shadow Kingdom. The only one who could respond to his call immediately was probably Morgan.

But it’s not necessary now.

A battle of this scale has already caused quite a stir. It shouldn't be long before someone comes to check out the situation.

Aiwass told Yasen these taboo knowledge, in fact, is also to prevent him from saying the wrong thing later. They are all here, most likely to meet with the shadow of the sky.

The result was as Aiwas expected.

In the Kingdom of Shadows, there was no distinction between the sun and the moon, morning and evening. Only after they had quieted down, and seventeen thunderclaps briefly illuminated the sky and earth, did they hear sounds like a herd of beasts running in the distance.

More than sixty handsome and strong male warriors were seen running towards them from afar. They were of different races, including humans, elves, half-elves, werewolves, dragons, giants... as well as snakemen, eagle-like people, lizardmen, and some beast-like races that Aiwass did not recognize.

Except for the Children of the Moon, goblins and dwarves, almost every mainstream race in the material world can be seen in it.

——Even trolls!

Although they are of different races and even in opposition to each other, the relationship between these dead people seems to be very good. After all, everyone is dead, no matter what their position was in life, they are equal after death.

Aiwass watched them running hurriedly and felt the excitement of going online with brothers.

...Hey, wait. There's someone I know.

Aiwas' eyes lit up and he saw a familiar figure at a glance.

It's Lancelot!

Although Arsen might not be able to see it, for Aiwass, who had special vision in his right eye, the souls of the living and the dead were very easy to distinguish - Lancelot was the only living person in the crowd, just like a person in white clothes among a group of people in black clothes.

The other party also saw Aiwass and immediately opened his eyes wide in surprise. However, he was just an "apprentice" here after all, so he did not greet Aiwass.

The leader was a giant with long red hair. Compared to the male giants who generally looked barbaric and ugly, he was surprisingly handsome, and even had some traces of the Supreme Heaven.

One can tell at first glance that this is a giant directly descended from the Supreme Heaven, most likely from the royal court.

When the giant saw Aiwass - or more precisely, when he saw the antlers on Aiwass's head, his expression suddenly became serious.

"Hail to the ever-burning candle, son of the candlelighter."

The giant said calmly, his voice even.

Aiwass looked behind him and saw that he was carrying a flaming spear. He suddenly realized something: "Could you be... Ares, the 'Nation Destroyer'?" "Yes."

Ares nodded, his voice clear and without any anger: "But there is no need to mention the title of 'Nation Destroyer'... I am just Ares now."

——Ivan suddenly couldn't hold it anymore.

Because he was the brother of "Enyeo" who was beaten to a pulp and eaten by Aiwass!

It is said that after the fall of the Most High, the three most powerful apostles under his command all met with trouble - "Tyrant" was ambushed at the resurrection point by the Knights of the Silver Crown Dragon, and was killed every time he was resurrected; and "Rakshasa" had been tamed by Zhu Tiansi and became the guardian apostle "Sky Rakshasa", and was recently punched back to the dream world by the Fallen Angel; the remaining one was the brother of Enyo the City Breaker, Ares the Destroyer of Nations.

He was bewitched by Ying Tiansi's beauty and voluntarily became Ying Tiansi's fanatical follower.

It's not appropriate to call him a bootlicker - because he really got it. To this day, he is still Ying Tiansi's most loyal guard and Ying Tiansi's most beloved lover.

He is also the most visionary among the warriors under Ying Tiansi. After all, they all worked under Zhigaotian in the past, so they can be considered former colleagues... At that time, his status was much higher than Ying Tiansi's.

Apparently, Ares was unaware that Aiwas had taken the Essence of Enyo.

After seeing the three-headed Shadow Hunter beast that was "haunted by sin", he looked at the Night Demon Venus with caution and frowned seriously: "Is this... the power of the Fallen Angels? Such a powerful demon should not exist after the fall of the Fallen Angels..."

“I raised this.”

Aiwass said calmly: "I gave her the fragments of the Fallen Angel. Is there a problem?"

"——No. After all, he is the son of the Candle Master, so it is reasonable for him to tame the Great Demon."

Ares, the destroyer of nations, immediately agreed and praised, "We thought it was just one shadow-hunting beast, but we didn't expect there were three. If it weren't for your help, I don't know how many of us would have died in their hands... Even if I'm resurrected with the power of the queen, if I can't get my shadow back, I'll just be useless."

He was obviously much more smooth than when he was under the control of the Supreme Being.

"That's why I didn't kill them right away."

Aiwass said gently, "Check to see if there is anyone you know or a guest of Her Majesty the Queen in there. Take back their shadows."

If he killed these three phantom demons, he would surely get a large amount of free experience - if it were in the past, he would probably be eager to kill them.

Aiwass hasn't gained experience for a long time, mainly because his enemies often have their souls broken for various reasons. For example, his adoptive father James, whose soul has completely become food for the Sinthorn, and the Fallen Angel, whose soul returns to the world after death.

But now, Aiwas is not so dependent on the system.

As the tide of transcendence rose, his own growth rate also began to accelerate. The system panel was more for intuitively confirming what he had gained and where he had become stronger... Of course, there was another reason, which was that he was always worried that this system came from Huantiansi's power, and if he relied too much on it, it might not be a good thing.

Although he had long realized from various details that this system did not seem to be created by Huan Tiansi...but before thoroughly figuring out its origins, it was still better to be cautious.

Anyway, Aiwass had already started trying to advance by his own strength two months ago. After self-separation, self-purification, and self-integration, Aiwass's soul had completed a kind of "distillation", and his progress was not slow.

However, there was another reason why he didn't do it - that is, the "shadows" eaten by the Shadow Hunter Beast can actually be separated. After all, they are essentially fragments of the soul. But if it is killed directly, those shadows will most likely become Aiwass's food.

Aiwass didn't think it was necessary.

Even if they really have to kill, they should return these souls before killing them. This is just a favor for them.

So many warriors came in a swarm this time, I'm afraid the soul of one of their acquaintances was cut off.

They said that sixty people could not defeat three Shadow Hunters, but Aiwas did not believe it. Although this thing was indeed powerful - although it had no divinity and no wisdom, it could move infinitely in the blind spot of any intelligent life, was permanently invisible, could not be sensed, and its sneak attacks were almost certain to succeed. Once it was completely attacked, it would lose its will to fight. This thing could be said to be a god of bullying and single combat.

——Even the celestial officials from the lower world who were pulled down by the Tail Ring would probably feel a lot of pressure when fighting them one-on-one.

But it is only strong in single combat. As long as the enemy has more people, it will usually flee. As long as you can protect your comrades' backs, this thing is not difficult to kill.

Although they are phantoms, they have no divinity after all. They are just wild beasts. These unintelligent and extremely aggressive monster-type phantoms are basically the souls left behind by the species created by the beast master in the past. They only have savage animal nature.

Because the Way of Love is inherited from the Way of Beasts, these monster souls will basically wander around the areas of the Way of Love. If they run to the Feast Heaven Division, they will be caught and eaten by the dragons immediately, so they basically run to the Blood Heaven Division and the Shadow Heaven Division.

If these sixty well-trained Shadow Nation warriors work in harmony, they might not even lose any men to deal with the three Shadow Hunters. The only problem is that if they run away, they won't be able to catch up.

So it’s not good to have too many people - if there are too many people, they might be scared away, and then the “dream” that has been taken away can’t be taken back.

Sixty is probably the limit that won't scare them away immediately. The same logic can be said in reverse, that is, with this number of people... the Shadow Hunters feel that they can deal with them, and their combat power is roughly equal, so they won't run away.

This is why Ares became serious.

——From this perspective, the Night Demon was equivalent to killing all of them instantly. As a guard of the Heavenly Master, he had to take this level of power seriously.

And this Night Demon can maintain the power of the Fallen Angel so easily... Does this mean that she is the next generation of the Fallen Angel?
"Take me to see Her Majesty the Queen."

Aiwass smiled and patted the Shadow Hunter: "This is a meeting gift."
