Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 911: Sacrifice of the Tail Ring

"Just... the three of us?"

Master Walter sat down slowly and asked Miss Sprengel inconspicuously.

Miss Sprengel did not reply, but smiled at Master Walter and handed him a glass of wine.

"I'm looking for you urgently because two major events have occurred...and these two events are linked together, so I must inform you as soon as possible."

Miss Sprengel's sweet, clear voice rang out.

She raised a finger: "The first thing is that the Fallen Angels are not in good condition.

"Just today, the Fallen Angels had a fight with someone in the dream world - to the point of coming to blows."

"…Is the Fallen Angel injured?"

Master Walter's expression changed slightly, and he took a sip of the wine in his hand.

His expression became extremely complicated for a moment—surprised and delighted, but also worried, afraid, and hesitant. Countless emotions were like an overturned paint palette, mixing into an unpleasant stain.

If there is the only variable in the Tail Ring Ritual, it is whether the Fallen Angels are willing to share their power with them after they summon them, or if the Fallen Angels are unwilling, whether they have the ability to forcibly extract their power.

The suppression force of the Balance Wall is absolute. Even if the Celestial Master descends, he will be suppressed to the limit of the material world - that is, the sixth energy level. Most rituals are effective for the sixth energy level... so they prepare a strong enough restraining ritual.

But this kind of thing is still a little unreliable after all.

——The most reliable and stable choice is to keep power and initiative in your own hands!

Ms. Marasia looked at his ugly appearance for a moment and frowned in displeasure.

But Miss Sprengel just smiled lovely and said lightly: "Yes, this is undoubtedly a new opportunity.

"According to the information I received, the mood swings of the Fallen Angel today were quite strong. It is very likely that he suffered a defeat. He even had the desire to take the initiative to descend to the mortal world and interfere with the material world - do you know what this means?"

"This shows that the material world is no longer an insignificant existence to Him."

Ms. Marasia said elegantly and calmly: "If a person has no desires, that is exactly the most dangerous. When a person has something to ask for, that is when he can be used - even by gods."

"Like those dwarves? And Yan Tiansi and Dong Dongsi..."

Master Walter nodded repeatedly, thinking, and took another sip of wine: "Does He want to complete the ritual in the material world to continue to become stronger?"

"correct."

"That's it," said Miss Sprengel with great certainty.

Hearing this, Master Walter felt relieved.

—At least it's not a bad thing, he thought.

Rather, this matter was full of opportunities... If they didn't know how to get along with the Fallen Angels or how to trade with him before, now at least they had something to talk about.

If we can talk, it is still much better than restricting the other party with rituals.

But in that case...why not look for Dr. Levitra?

While Master Walter was thinking, Miss Sprengel had already given the answer: "I think it is necessary to advance the Tail Ring Ceremony."

“Can we do it earlier?”

Ms. Marasia confirmed.

"Yes," Miss Sprengel nodded. "Although May 5th is the most perfect day for balance, the outer ring ceremony has been successfully implemented. With just a few minor adjustments, we can hold the inner ring ceremony at any time."

"When do you plan to arrive early?"

Master Walter asked, "Before the founding of the country? If so, there would be no way to fish those people out."

"At least this month."

Ms. Sprengel nodded. "Once this month is over, it will be difficult for us to negotiate any terms with the Fallen Angels. Fishing or a better ritual, which do you choose?"

"—This month then. That's settled."

Walter frowned slightly, then drank the wine in the glass and said affirmatively.

This general, who came from the Army Department, spoke with force and authority.

Sprengel further added, while refilling his glass: "Similarly, considering one thing... I don't plan to capture those transcendents who enter Star Antimony."

"Is it because there is not enough time?"

Ms. Marasia speculated.

"Part of the reason is," Sprengel said seriously, "and part of the reason is that we can't afford to lose any more men.

"When we held the Tail Ring Ceremony, we originally planned to select someone from within to be the sacrifice... because we didn't want things to get out of control. If we take those outsiders into account, and considering that the sacrifice must be captured alive, there is a high possibility of variables.

"After all, we are all incarnations of demons, and if we are not careful, powerful demons will be exposed. As humans, it is undoubtedly very difficult to fight against high-level demons. If we are not careful, it will cause casualties, which will lead to a chain reaction - the dead allies will become new demons. Therefore, we choose to let one of them become a sacrifice without knowing it, in order to ensure the controllability of the ceremony."

Sprengel looked around and sighed, “And now… our situation is obviously not good.

"There are only four of us left in the top leadership of the Rosicrucian organization."

——It was said there were four, but there were only three people present.

Master Walter had understood what Sprengel meant.

Dr. Levikühn is the victim chosen by Sprengel!
"Then let Mr. Leviqun be the sacrifice."

Master Walter said mercilessly.

He said this before Sprengel did so in order to make the proposal his own.

Everyone knew that Sprengel yearned for freedom, like a cat without an owner; Ms. Maracia had little desire for power, and Dr. Levikühn was an artist. The only one who had a thirst for power was Master Walter himself.

He is also the one who is most concerned about the outcome of the founding of the country, and the one who is most suspicious.

Before going to the meeting place in Sprengel this time, he prepared a ritual for detecting lies for himself - after all, this call was too hasty, and Master Walter was worried that this would be a trap.

And now he was convinced that every word Sprengel said was true.

——This means that their plan is going to succeed.

The only three people left among them will become the center of power in the new world!
Three sixth energy levels - although this is much less than originally expected, it's okay. At least this specification is enough to rebuild the empire!
And when it comes to senior management, three people are always better than four.

Among the four of them… the one he feared the most and wanted to eliminate the most was definitely Dr. Leviqun.

But if there are three people left, there must be a leader, right?

Since Miss Sprengel and Ms. Marasia have no strong desire, then he will naturally take on the title of leader - the title of the controller of power in the new world!

Thinking of this, a brilliant purple color appeared in Master Walter's pupils.

His mood suddenly became excited and he drank the wine in the glass again.

The jealousy mark, greed mark, and lust mark on Master Walter's body all glowed slightly at some point: "Leviqun was not popular in the first place - the fly demon in his body was too dangerous, and he was a sickly person. He was so weak that he could die at any time.

"Why do we perform the Tail Ring Ritual? It is for world peace - we will rule the world and rebuild the human empire!

"The person who controls the power of the Supreme Empire of Humanity is a fly demon? He controls decay, death, insect swarms and disease... Is this reasonable?"

The more Master Walter spoke, the more passionate he became: "The three of us are just right - at least decent enough!"

——He didn't mention the survival of the fittest because Master Walter knew that the weakest among the four of them was actually Ms. Marasia. Because the old lady's desire for transcendence was the weakest and her moral standards were the highest... Especially since she was old, her desire for twilight would be diluted and extinguished as her lifespan grew longer.

Master Walter had the desire to advance to the sixth level, but Ms. Marasia did not. She was only forced to join in because of her high status in the Rosicrucian Society and her high reputation and trust. This kind of thing could not be bypassed by her... It would only cause dissatisfaction among the people and make them lose trust in this plan.

But the problem is that the weakest Ms. Marasia has a very good relationship with the strongest Ms. Sprengel.

When she was a child, she was brought into the industry by Miss Sprengel. According to the mentor system of the Rosicrucian Society, Miss Sprengel was her mentor!

So with this relative involved, he had no choice but to kick Dr. Levitra out!

Moreover, Master Walter had another desire in his heart——

He was moved by Miss Sprengel's stunning beauty and graceful figure. No, it should be said that no one would not be moved by this.

In addition to her beauty, she was also the queen of Valentine I—every Star worshipped Valentine I.

This noble status was even more tempting honey to a transcendent. Not to mention, she was a woman that even Valentine I could not tame - she always left the palace at will, and even Valentine I, who became paranoid and irritable in his old age, was not taken seriously by her.

Everyone knows about this.

For most people, this is a dangerous warning, indicating that her love is likely to represent infidelity.

But for Master Walter, this is even more challenging!

This is why he always agrees with what Miss Sprengel says, but wants to take a step ahead and make the other party smile and nod in agreement.

Even if the opponent is a dangerous witch - but by then he will be the king of the world at the sixth level!

Apart from him, who else in this world could be worthy of her?

Are they both the Eternal Pope of the sixth level?

For this reason, he enthusiastically agreed with Miss Sprengel's decision to exclude Dr. Leviqun.

In the eyes of Master Walter, who is now a middle-aged man, this is exactly Miss Sprengel expressing her affection for him!
"Master Walter!"

Ms. Marasia frowned slightly, with a hint of condemnation in her words.

But Walter only expressed disdain for her hypocrisy: "Wake up, Ms. Marasia! The three of us are not very good at fighting. Are we going to compete with those foreign transcendents? We have to capture them alive! Capture a great wizard, or capture a demon incarnate?
"We have no choice - we have to sacrifice one! Why not sacrifice the worst one? If we don't let Dr. Levitra come - or Ms. Marasia, you sacrifice yourself?"

He did not have a very good impression of this respected old lady.

In Walter's opinion, if it weren't for Ms. Marasia's weakness and concessions, the goblins would never have been able to control the economic lifeline of Star Antimony. Now that Star Antimony has collapsed, she should bear at least one-third of the blame!

But he was different - if it weren't for him, Xingti would have been destroyed by Hong Xiang and his people long ago!
Therefore, Master Walter emphasized: "Ms. Maracia, look at the reality! Transcendents are all selfish - I am not afraid to tell you that if the four of us go together to catch someone, I will definitely stand at the back. And I also know that everyone will choose this.

"Everyone is only thinking about themselves, so it's impossible to work together. Instead of worrying about backstabbing later, why don't we do something bad together now? With a goal that everyone hates, at least we can unite."

As he spoke, his deep purple eyes looked at Miss Sprengel: "I think it's better to follow the side with more people at this time - Miss Sprengel, what do you think?"

"I think you are absolutely right."

Miss Sprengel nodded and said affirmatively.

The strong sense of expansion of being recognized by the beauty made Walter, whose senses were already excited to the point of being a little psychedelic, even more excited.

He seemed to be drunk and his vision became blurry.

He staggered and fell into a chair.

Everything in front of me became unreal, began to stretch and distance, and the colors changed. It was like eating poisonous mushrooms...

...Poisonous mushrooms? Poisoning?
Is it wine? Is there... poison in the wine?

His pupils suddenly shrank.

But the next moment, many magic arrays suddenly appeared on the chair, locking him tightly in place!
"You acted a little too early, Dr. Levitra."

In the hallucination, Miss Sprengel's intermittent voice was heard.

But Walter just felt dizzy and his thinking almost came to a standstill.

"Ahem... I'm just... ahem... so angry."

Dr. Levitra pushed his wheelchair with great effort and left the shadows around the corner.

He spoke in a weak voice, but he broke into a coughing fit mid-sentence.

He looked even sicker than at our last meeting.

Miss Sprengel stepped forward and pushed Dr. Levitra's wheelchair.

Dr. Leviquern also breathed a sigh of relief, and almost collapsed in his wheelchair, breathing heavily like a bellows.

His eyes were almost furious—he stared directly at Master Walter, whose skin had turned purple-black.

"You simply... betrayed my trust!"

Dr. Leviqun said word by word: "You don't know how much I trust you!"

Ms. Marasia also sighed: "I gave you a chance, Master Walter. I reminded you twice... If you don't want to listen, then don't listen."

And Master Walter's brain was no longer able to think.

He could only stare at the three people with eyes wide open, his mouth agape like a drowning fish.

But even so, he understood what was happening in front of him.

Just as he thought, one of the four of them had to be sacrificed.

But the victim chosen by Miss Sprengel was not "Dr. Levikühn" but himself!
Obviously, Dr. Leviqun did not believe from the very beginning that Master Walter would betray him.

That's why Miss Sprengel asked them to act out a play to tell Dr. Levitra about her own ruthlessness!

Just like what Walter himself said -

——Instead of worrying about backstabbing later, why not do something bad together now? With a goal that everyone hates, others will naturally unite.

You actually look down on me——

Master Walter gritted his teeth.

Fortunately, the ceremony still had a long time to go. He still had a chance to escape...

Once the toxins in his body are decomposed, he will summon his demonic incarnation—

Even if I can't escape, at least I must die together with them!
If you don't let me be well, no one else will be well!
Just as they predicted, the danger of "capturing a Transcendent alive" was just like that. He was going to let these people see... the price of underestimating themselves!

But at this moment, Master Walter saw Miss Sprengel beginning to arrange the ceremony.

He suddenly shuddered, and even his mind seemed to be clearer.

……No way?

"You want to... now..."

Master Walter opened his mouth and tried to squeeze out unclear words from his swollen throat.

But Miss Sprengel looked at him with a half-smile.

"You want me, don't you?"

She smiled sweetly: "I will be able to satisfy you soon...soon.

"Wait a little longer...my master."
