Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 908 Return to the Material World

When the world completely collapsed, Aiwas and his group fell out of the void.

They returned to the place where they were before entering the ruins - the dense forest.

That feeling was similar to falling to the ground from a height of less than half a meter. Everyone still maintained their relative positions, but only felt a slight impact and imbalance.

After losing its target, Aiwass's Lost Paradise also poured its last wave of firepower towards the uninhabited dense forest. Even though the Unburnable Butterfly had already withdrawn its power, the aftermath of the explosion caused by the light blades that had not yet hit the target also spread -

——Boom boom boom boom boom!
The earth roared, smoke and dust rose. The trees did not burn, but were directly blown to pieces.

Amid the billowing smoke, the golden magic circle behind Aiwass also dimmed and dissipated.

He retracted his wings behind him, and the white feathers shattered into light powder.

The unburnable butterfly also transformed into a flame butterfly, fluttering and landing on Aiwas's shoulder.

But this time, the Flame Butterfly did not emit small sparks when flapping its wings - this was a very special gray-white Flame Butterfly.

Apparently, the Unburnable Butterfly can maintain this state and enter the travel mode until this summoning is lifted and she is summoned again as the Flame-Rebellious Butterfly.

When the smoke cleared, the sun filled everyone's eyes, making those who were used to the darkness feel the strong glare.

And that feeling of being grounded and extremely safe also makes people feel extremely strange and full of happiness.

"Woo..."

The kitten couldn't help crying: "Mom, I survived..."

"We have overcome this difficulty, and it will be easier in the future."

This fourth-level trap master was very young. The wanderer next to her seemed to see the shadow of his daughter in her. He subconsciously patted the girl's head and whispered to comfort her: "Believe me, kitten - we adventurers have a saying called 'life barrier'. People in this line of work will always encounter a few life-threatening difficulties. But look, how can so many people be unlucky every day? Once you get over this barrier, everything will be smooth sailing."

Only at this time, this man who is always drunk, bragging and not doing anything serious becomes reliable.

"really."

Aiwass on the side breathed a sigh of relief and walked over: "I usually call this the conservation of character."

"Is that true, Your Holiness?"

The kitten looked at Aiwass with tears in his eyes.

She no longer shyed away from the nickname "Pope", but directly called out His Majesty's name.

The young trap master obviously didn't believe what Drifter said. But since Aiwass said so, it seemed a bit possible...

After all, this Eternal Pope is a hero who fought the Fallen Angels head-on and saved them all!
——It turns out that the Eternal Pope is really the strongest in the material world and can fight against the Heavenly Official on equal terms!

"Just take it as the truth."

Aiwass smiled, walked to Professor Budd and asked with concern: "Are you okay, teacher? Is your waist...still hurting?"

After all, Professor Bud is just an ordinary person.

His soul is very weak, and he may not even have a formed soul. After being cut in half by the Fallen Angel, even if he is resurrected and healed now, it is not impossible that there are some hidden dangers left...

"It's great, it's never been better! I feel like this shabby old thing of mine has regained its youth!"

Professor Bud looked at Aiwass and nodded with satisfaction: "That's great...that's great."

He reached out and grasped Aiwass's hands. At this moment, Aiwass felt that the old man's hands were so hot and powerful. He didn't look like an old teacher in the city at all, but more like an old adventurer who conquered the mountains and the sea.

"I thought you could help me, but I didn't expect you to be able to revive me. I also thought you would become a great man, but I didn't expect you to be so great as to fight Tianshi..."

Bud sighed: "It's been less than a year... You are really amazing, really."

He held Aiwass's arm and said with great certainty: "You will definitely be able to solve all obstacles in front of you. Believe me... I know enough about history. There has never been anyone stronger than you in this world. Therefore, you can create miracles that surpass everything - so don't be afraid of any difficulties you encounter.

"You are a miracle, Aiwass. Your name will become synonymous with miracles in the future."

When the others heard this, they didn't feel anything, but they felt that Professor Bud really liked Aiwass.

Because they have no idea what this "year" means.

Only the dream-wandering monk "Encyclopedia", the brown-skinned man with the most knowledge and the widest news, shuddered and looked at Aiwass in disbelief: "So..."

He immediately stopped talking again.

——Is that rumor true? Is it really only one year?

According to information uploaded by other dream monks, this Eternal Pope has only been exposed to supernatural powers for a year.

This information, which seemed outrageous no matter how you looked at it, caused a huge controversy among the dream-wandering monks. Some people thought that there must be something wrong with this information. It was too incredible for a 19-year-old Eternal Pope to come into contact with the extraordinary at the age of 18. Others thought that this information might be correct, but it meant that this human Pope must not be strong. He was most likely at the third energy level, or at most the fourth energy level, and was elected Pope only for political reasons...

Now the encyclopedia has confirmed that the information is true and the power of the Eternal Pope is also real - after all, he can confront the Heavenly Official head-on, and even a fifth-level power cannot do such a thing.

I'm afraid only the legendary sixth energy level can do this!
It’s so scary. In less than a year... he went from being in contact with the extraordinary to the sixth level...

...Could he be the reincarnation of a certain celestial being? Perhaps only a reincarnated celestial being could do such a thing, just like King Arthur when Avalon was founded.

Looking at the hatred that the Fallen Angels have for him... doesn't this seem like the right attitude toward an ordinary mortal?
——Could it be that Aiwass is Huan Tiansi?
Baike was speculating in his mind.

"Professor Budd!"

At this time, Zhu Tang came over with his eyes closed, holding a bulging patched bag, and smiled: "Hey, I'm blind and can't see - look at what's in here?"

Inside were the fragments of the Tower of Babel that he had collected from nearby using a ritual spell just as the battle between Aiwass and the Fallen Angels had just begun.

Of course, he didn't know what the Lord of Scales and Feathers said to Aiwass - but as a ritualist, he knew that most "almost impossible miracles" had prices and conditions. The arrival of the Heavenly Official was too unbelievable, and there must be a reason.

His eyes were not open, but his mind was bright.

And Aiwass's attitude clearly showed that he was not going to fight to the death. He was a slick old man, and he could tell without even looking that Aiwass knew there was a way out, and was trying his best to hold on and delay the situation.

So Zhu Tang chose to believe Aiwass.

As long as Aiwass can hold on, they can survive; but if they just survive but don't get enough benefits, it would be quite regrettable.

Therefore, when Aiwass was blocking the Fallen Angel, Zhu Tang activated the ritual spell and frantically looted everything that fell around.

This way, if they survive, at least they won’t lose out!
Even make money with blood!
That rounded off, it was equivalent to defeating Tiansi!
"Oh my rock!"

Professor Bud didn't have time to look at Zhu Tang's bag.

When he saw Zhu Tang coming to him with something to show him, he had just recalled other things from the joy of surviving the disaster.

He slapped his belly in surprise and realized that his bag containing the rune stone at the door and those precious photos was lost!

Because everyone else had to fight, Professor Budd, the only one who didn't participate in the battle, was allowed to take the thing. This was also a consensus that the civilian staff in the adventure team were responsible for handling the baggage and logistics, and at least had to help watch the things during the battle.

As a result, when Professor Bud was cut in half, this thing fell out. Now he saw that everyone's clothes were torn and tattered, and then he realized what had happened.

If this thing is lost, then all the studies would be in vain.
"Oh, it's okay, just take a look at what these are..."

Zhu Tang said cheerfully, but still forced the item into Professor Bud's hand. "You're lucky. I haven't opened this thing yet, so I don't know what's inside. Maybe I've found it for you..."

"I'm really back!"

Professor Bard opened the big bag and his eyes lit up immediately: "My photos... and the camera! The rune stone is also here..."

Zhengsine also came over: "This camera may be broken... Oh, this slate is good." "Hey, isn't this... the amber of light? Is this what Master Chongbai is looking for?"

Sine took out two more pieces of amber from the cloth bag.

Hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to the silent old man at the edge of the team.

Originally everyone just thought he was a weirdo - but when the preservation technique arranged by this old man blocked the impact of the space-time rupture and even blocked the aftermath of Tiansi's attack, everyone realized how powerful he was and what a great figure he was!
Chongbo just waved his hands repeatedly, with a firm attitude: "I said only one piece is enough, you can divide the rest... I don't want all the gains."

He keeps his word.

After saying this, Chongbo still wandered among the crowd. He stopped talking after saying this and just watched the sunset quietly.

Sine held the amber of light, looked at Professor Budd and then at Aiwass - he wanted to buy one, but he didn't dare to ask. After all, his magic power was exhausted early, and he was basically brought back as a burden.

For an old wizard who is proud enough of himself, he is now unwilling to even make any requests, nor does he have the face to do so.

"This, this is!"

Finally, Professor Budd became excited, his voice even trembling: "This is the core of the instrument - I noticed it when the Tower of Babel was broken, the fragments of the machine that fell from the fourth floor were this one!"

What he carefully lifted up was a sphere made of pure gold.

It looked like a golden apple, but none of the surrounding fragments were brought back.

"This is a fortune-making technique. It was originally considered a forbidden technique because it would suck things from other people's homes... But in the past, it doesn't matter. No one will bother me anyway."

Zhu Tang said leisurely, "I don't know what I brought here, but they should be some high-value artifacts. With these things... everyone can share them, and it will be worth the trip."

As a middle-aged man who is down and out, poor and unable to return home, he is obviously not the type to eat lyrical chicken soup like "adventure experience is your precious life wealth" or the type of "the information I get is more important than my life" like the encyclopedia.

For him, a meaningful adventure is one that makes money.

He just wanted to make money, to make enough money as quickly as possible so that he could go home as soon as possible... If he delayed any longer, his whole family might encounter unexpected events.

With Zhu Tang speaking up, others felt more relaxed.

Everyone gathered around the bag, rummaging through the valuables he had sucked up.

"Then I want this..."

"Can I have this?"

"Let me take a look too..."

Aiwass also joined in the fun and came over. The others made room for him and even stopped searching. Kitty even carefully put back a few rune gems of excellent quality that he had found, meaning that Aiwass should take them first.

"I'm just looking..."

Aiwass comforted the kitten and rummaged through something. Suddenly, he said, "Huh?"

Even Aiwas himself didn't expect that when he touched something, the system suddenly lit up.

Because it was too fleeting to be clear, Aiwass touched it again carefully.

When I finally touched an emerald green octagonal gem, the system lit up again:
Stone of Eden

There are no attributes or other descriptions. Just this one line of text.

"Then I'll take this one."

Aiwass had an idea and picked it up.

He smiled and said, "Then I'll take this, you guys divide it up."

He walked over to Cardinal Galatea, who was also not interested in sharing the spoils, and said to her, "Take the fragment of the Geometry back to the Catholic Church first."

"No problem," Cardinal Galatea asked, "When will you return?"

"I'll go shopping again."

Aiwass said casually.

"Then I'll come back after I put my things down."

Cardinal Galatea was firm: "I have to call others - Cardinal Siegfried seems to be fine recently. What happens around you is always too dangerous, and I may not be able to rely on myself."

This construct lady was clearly still haunted by the sudden attack by the Fallen Angels.

Judging from the expression of Fallen Angel, he doesn't seem to be willing to give up.

But now Aiwas is more than just the Pope - he is also the Son of the Candlelighter.

There was no way they were going to let anything happen to Aiwass.

——At worst, we can ask the whole country to mobilize!
"By the way," Aiwass suddenly called Zhu Tang, "You guys should save money to go home, right?"

"That's right..."

As soon as Zhu Tang finished his response, his eyes lit up: "You want to hire us? That's great!"

Who better to hire than the Pope, richer and more trustworthy?

Without waiting for Aiwass to say anything, he guessed what Aiwass wanted to do.

Aiwass raised his eyebrows: "It doesn't matter if we encounter the same thing again?"

"You get paid for what you do. It's a natural thing to do."

Zhu Tang said with a smile, rubbing his fingers like a businessman: "As long as you give more..."

"The pay is easy."

Aiwass said lightly: "And later, I can send the Paladin Corps to accompany you back to Rest. But you have to do me a favor... a favor that may be life-threatening."

"If we die, you will revive us, right?"

"Of course," Aiwass nodded, "but just don't die randomly."

"Then it's done!"

Zhu Tang answered straightforwardly: "We will follow you - even if you ask us to fight that Fallen Angel again, we will not hesitate."

Oh, you are really right.

I really want to fight the Fallen Angels again...

Aiwass said silently in his heart.

And right now.

Not far away in the starlight, the pupils of Miss Sprengel, who was staying at home, suddenly turned purple.

In a mirror in front of her, a purple shadow wearing a horned helmet emerged.

"My lord."

Miss Sprengel bowed calmly and said, "Your ever-faithful servant greets you."
