Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 659 I am [Star]

Aiwass looked at this scene thoughtfully.

He suddenly thought of the [Lust] card he made to seal the succubus' soul.

A beautiful goddess with no hair, lying on a lion with seven heads in a drunken posture - this is another explanation of the state of the eternal self and the beast master:
The Eternal Self may not actually have completely tamed the beast master, but they are collectively indulging in an out-of-control passion. And out of this chaotic state, the Self emerges to the surface as a clearer, more rational side.

This new explanation is more favored by occult researchers than the more traditional explanations. In other words, the current self and the beast master are one and the same. Their powers are mixed together - they are eternally in love and eternally at war.

And Aiwass remembered that the "Egg Moon Tantra" was originally a tantra book belonging to the eternal self.

The moon is the demonic egg from which monsters hatch.

But if so, who is the father of the monster?
Thinking of this, Aiwass thought of a possibility:
——Perhaps Selene is not the clone of Lily's "Path of Love" at all.

The first time Lily read "The Spider Silk Tantra", she was able to fully master the power of controlling lies; the first time she read the "Night Rabbit Tantra", she was able to successfully transform herself into a primitive werewolf.

"The Spider's Silk Tantra" is obviously not a big hit.

And when Aiwass ate the meat, their temperature was not even cold yet.

Aiwass decided to go to the Ninth Circle and ask Cardinal Cyril. The old man is well-informed and may know how to solve Lily's problem of failed self-division.

At the same level as this power is the "Sin Scholar" mastered by Aiwass - these two abilities are both skills that can imitate the power of other paths with a single path.

That is the power mastered by the "successors of Gray Tiansi". After practicing to the extreme, they can even be used to steal the essence of other paths. A certain vampire novelist could even use this power to steal the bloodline and body of the "Wildfire Giant".

Thinking of this, Aiwass thought of another possibility——

——This learning speed is obviously unreasonable.

...Is it the Beast Master or Hui Tiansi?
While Aiwass was thinking, Selene had almost eaten the entire lamb.

In the original timeline, they were all terrifying beings whose levels could go up simultaneously with the players. But when they read the tantras, their learning speed was obviously very slow. With Shylock's genius, it would take him several days to understand this book - but once you read the Tantra once, you will instantly master all abilities.

Because of this, Aiwass didn't realize anything was wrong at the time.

Although Lily disappeared silently in the original history, will it be only the identity of "Lily" that disappears?

She regained her composure again, sat back next to Aiwass in an attitude that could even be called well-behaved, and quietly licked her fingers. And her belly wasn't even bulging - it looked like she wasn't even full.

...Ask someone to ask.

Adaptation and love…no. To be precise, they are "lies" and "beasts".

On the other hand, Isabel and Sherlock...they are undoubtedly geniuses.

Because Selene still remembered, leave a copy for Lily and Aiwass. She left them the best quality meat, just enough to fill them up. After all, Selene is also Lily in essence, and she knows how much Aiwass and Lily eat.

If that's the case, Lily might also be the reincarnation fragment of a certain Tiansi.

These two powers are both "passed" powers. It is not the mainstream force corresponding to the path.

In other words, Lily's understanding of the Tantra Book can already catch up with Aiwass, who is a fragment of the Tiansi.

Tantra itself is a lost art - if it were easy and convenient enough to learn, it could not be lost.

But the problem is that Aiwas itself is a fragment of the Tiansi, and the "Shepherd Tantra" is closely related to the essence of Aiwas. It's even possible that the Shepherd is Aiwas's previous life, or a fragment of Huan Tiansi. As for the "Morning Crow Tantra", its original owner had difficulty reading it, and could only regard the effect of its failure to read as a "laser beauty device."

Lily mastered it at the same speed as Aiwass himself when he read the tantras...

Moreover, Aiwass remembered that Cardinal Cyril had mastered the "Wind Queen Tantra", and he could also ask him how long it took him to learn the Tantra. By the way, you can also inform the other party that you have completed the mission of Lord of Scale Feathers and completely completed the advanced magic.

Now Aiwass has opened up the connection with the Lord of Scale Feathers.

The Lord of Scale Feathers can descend into Aiwass's body at any time, and Aiwass can use almost all the magic in the Lord of Scale Feathers' domain at will without praying. He could even ask God to descend and let the Lord of Scales and Feathers fight for him.

In other words, Aiwass is now a cardinal.

It's just that he has no real sense of it...and is very unfamiliar with this power. This is the time to ask his seniors for advice.

...By the way, you can also ask how the production of your clothes is progressing. The day after tomorrow is March 3rd, and there are only two days left - considering that elves generally have extremely serious procrastination, Aiwass feels that he still has to push it.

So Aiwass did not go home after Selene's birthday party, but took Selene and Lily directly to the ninth circle.

But today's Ninth Circle, the atmosphere is a little different.

There were many more people on the street than when I came here a few days ago.

Aiwass even saw the Pope's guards walking around the street. The clothing styles of the passers-by on the street also varied greatly.

Some people wore soft robes and white stockings as traditional elven clothing, and some people wore "modern clothing" in the Star Antimony style - that is, those aristocratic-style dresses and skirts. There are also people dressed like researchers, wearing simple white coats. Some people wore orange-yellow engineering vests with a large number of pockets.

And some elves that Aiwass had never seen before appeared - they were wearing silver-white light armor and holding various weapons.

Although Aiwass has not yet put on the uniform of a cardinal, the archbishop's specifications are enough for him to move forward at will. Moreover, the memory of elves is quite strong, and many people remember Aiwass who came a few days ago.

Relying on his memory, Aiwass quickly reached the depths of the ninth circle. After the routine briefing, Aiwass was invited in.

——As a result, Aiwass was shocked as soon as he entered the door.

In addition to Cardinal Cyril, who was wearing a mercury cardinal robe, there were seven cardinals in the room.

The atmosphere in the room looked quite serious.

Cardinal Matilda is not here, and neither is the Pure White Saint.

Aiwass did meet two other "acquaintances he had never met before."

One of them is nearly two and a half meters tall. He has a strong physique, brilliant blond hair and blue pupils, giving people the impression of a fool like a great guardian.

He wore exquisite elf silver armor - the most special thing was his silver armor that was hollowed out and exposed on his back.

On his back, there is a crown pattern like a tattoo.

Part of it is blue and part of it is yellow.

——Aiwass recognized at a glance that this person was the Elf Paladin "Topa" whom he had met during the promotion ceremony!
Turns out he’s a cardinal too!
Just...why doesn't he wear a bishop's robe?

The other person is a woman wearing a dark green robe.

She has long straight black hair and a pair of curved dragon horns on her head. Because his hair blocks half of his eyes, he looks rather gloomy. On the only exposed pupil, there is a vertical scar that destroys the beauty.

This is Heleqin's wife, Favna!

The moment they saw Aiwass, "Topa" and Favna were obviously stunned.

"...Stars?"

"Are you... Xingchen?"

Two sounds came out almost simultaneously.

But it was different than Aiwass expected.

They didn't call out Aiwass's name, but they called out the "one-time stage name" he had just adopted not long ago.

But Aiwass did not hesitate.

He reached out his hand fearlessly and pressed it on his chest, actively touching the emerald mark on his chest.

In an instant, the aura of the Lord of Scale Feathers leaked out of Aiwass. The expressions of the other cardinals who could recognize the advanced magic suddenly changed.

"Yes, I am 'Star'."

Facing the gazes of the eight cardinals, Aiwass nodded and admitted: "The representative of the Lord of Scale Feathers...Aiwass Moriarty.

"—New Cardinal."
