Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 759: The Mark of Jealousy and Greed
It took a long time for Aleister's boiling brain to finally calm down.

She covered her cheeks, which were burning as if she had a fever, and felt the restless blood of the Moon Child in her body gradually subside. Only then did she feel that she was out of control.

Normally, the body temperature of a Moon Child wouldn't be this high. Their body temperature should be lower than that of a normal person.

——This is a real sign of losing control.

The body of the "Moon Child" that was originally just an illusory mirror image has now become a real race. In other words, Aleister has been given a very high level of love path for no reason. This is the instinct of the body, not the characteristics of the soul, so it is somewhat difficult to contain.

Aleister's Son of the Moon characteristic had not been activated before, so it was not very obvious.

And now, when Aleister touched Sister Sasha's corpse, this characteristic was finally fully activated -

This means that Aleister has now officially become a transcendent being who practices both the path of transcendence and the path of love.

It is different from the original body of Aiwass... because Aleister still has some remnants of the path of dedication.

One of the characteristics of the path of love is "for oneself"; the path of dedication is "for others". Generally speaking, the characteristics of these two paths are generally conflicting... but in Aleister, they form a very perfect fit.

Because Aiwass is both "himself" and "other" to Aleister. At the same time, Aiwass's strong desire for dedication leads him to want to sacrifice himself to let Aleister live... Aleister's desire for transcendence makes her want to rebel against this expectation and future - ultimately leading her to want to sacrifice herself for Aiwass.

That was not a sacrifice of "fusion". Because the selfish nature of the path of love was reflected in Aleister, she did not want to be forgotten by Aiwass... even if it was just a possibility, even if Aiwass would not forget that she had existed so easily.

...Aleister was somewhat unsatisfied, she wanted to pursue a longer existence.

For the sake of others and for myself, I want to exist and sacrifice, I want to sacrifice and accompany...

...While loving "myself", I also love "another self".

When this thought emerged in Aleister's mind, the aura of the mark of greed flashed across Aleister's body.

The intersection of the three paths inevitably caused Aleister's mind to become abnormal.

But fortunately, the overlap was relatively perfect, so Aleister did not show any obvious signs of losing control.

"Forget it, stop thinking about it..."

Aleister patted his cheek, trying to suppress the traces of this fantasy, but the thought still remained.

This made Aleister involuntarily start thinking about how this plan could be achieved.

If she wanted to merge back together again, she needed her own body... at least a basically intact corpse. The soul and body of Moon Child were tightly fixed together. But fusion was the first goal, and she couldn't let the fusion between her and Aiwas have flaws because of the damage to her soul...

...Is there any way to keep some of my consciousness and body after the fusion? As long as a small part of my "self" is left, I can "revive" Aleister by collecting all the Sister Sasha suits.

Given Aiwas's personality, he would most likely be willing to accept this future - because it means that "Aleister" can continue to exist, even if he has to merge with Sister Sasha and exist as an incomplete beast of sin...

"……wrong."

Aleister suddenly reacted -

This method seems to exist!
[Dissolved Soul (Gold): Your soul transforms into a more noble form. Blessings below the "medium" size will no longer require rituals; you will be immune to sleep, charm, curses, and instant death spells, and your soul can be used as a consumables and actively withdrawn from the body]

This is the path characteristic that Aiwass obtained in his previous ascension ceremony.

But there is actually a problem here... The dissolved soul can only work on Aiwas. It's not because it was cut, but because the soul of the child of the moon has dried up and turned into a kind of powder. Although her soul still has a certain sacredness, it is like instant coffee... Maybe you need to mix the powder that Aleister turned into after his death with water to turn it into a dissolved soul. But...

There is still a place where part of Aiwass's soul once remained!

—On Isabel!
Isabel has on her body one third of her original soul that was cut out by Aiwass.

This was the emergency treatment that Aiwass left for her to prevent her from being seriously injured.

If she hadn't used the bottle of soul yet, then this bottle of soul could also serve as a supplement for Aleister - she could completely cut off a part of herself and combine it with the complete Sister Sasha suit to complete the ritual! And the remaining part of the soul, with the supplement of the bottled soul, could also prevent the cutting ritual from failing to heal in the end...

Aleister analyzed subconsciously.

But she soon couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

"...How ironic."

The last people to be cut by the Sand Clock were Wei Zhe and Zhi Gao Tian. At that time, the Sand Clock seemed to have cut too cleanly, so that the two could never be put back together. And now, a part of Zhi Gao Tian has finally returned to Wei Zhe...

It seems that Sand Time has learned from his mistakes, and this time when he cut, he kept a part of the other party in his body just like the Tai Chi diagram, preventing the two from ever going back together once they are separated...

The result is that both sides are scrambling to merge again.

If Isabel is a partner who "complements the soul of Aiwass", then Aleister is the other half of the soul that complements the holy Aiwass who is now the Pope. Perhaps her possessiveness that does not want to leave is also related to this kind of "love".

Aleister vaguely remembered a psychological term from his previous life, which seemed to be called Anima Animus. Anima refers to the image of a woman in every man's heart, which is the feminine component in a man's mind; while Animus is just the opposite. There is an instinctive attraction between them...

In this way, the incomplete souls of Aiwas and Aleister are both incomplete. Compared to Isabel, they should be more attracted to each other...

"...Looks like I need to collect the Sasha set."

Aleister made up his mind and his will became firm.

The Night Demon beside him narrowed his eyes slightly.

For some reason, she suddenly had a strange feeling - she actually felt a little jealous of her master.

It's like the master will snatch his master away from himself... Does this possibility really exist?

Aleister collected the contaminated "Eyes of Mercy" and completely destroyed the remaining traces of the ritual, then planned to leave.

But after thinking about it, she turned back to tidy up the clothes of the girls who had died tragically, cleaned up the blood stains on their bodies, and covered those who were naked with a blanket.

——If it was Aiwass, he would probably do this, Aleister thought.

Aiwass is a gentle man, and he is more likely to feel compassion for these unfortunate people...

The reason why she suddenly decided to do this was because just now Aleister suddenly realized something... If she deliberately did things that Aiwass would not do and did not do things that Aiwass was willing to do in order to show that she was "another person completely different from Aiwass", wouldn't it mean that they really separated and became two people?
Aleister didn't want to accept that possibility.

Even if it was to prevent Aiwass from refusing to merge with her, she couldn't do anything too extreme.
