Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 844 King of the Earth
Hearing this, the fox looked at the old dog with a little more respect.

"What a surprise..."

Aleister sighed, "The most generous person I've met since I came to Xingtan is actually a jester."

"Ha ha……"

The old dog Lalo just smiled carefreely: "I am only a jester when there is a king who trusts me. Otherwise, I am just a clown who likes to say crazy things... a pathetic madman. No one loves clowns, and no one loves them."

As they were talking, there was a noise coming from the front.

Aleister took a few steps forward and jumped back onto the white horse.

"You're back."

Bai Ma said in a deep voice: "Let us fight side by side again, comrade."

Its tone became firm again, without the previous hesitation and entanglement, and it was obvious that it had figured out the previous problem.

"Are you strong again now, Your Highness?"

Aleister teased.

"Because it has come to this, there is no room for us to retreat."

The white horse's voice was as clear as a young boy's: "If I take a step back, I will be crushed to pieces. For the survival of the race - help me again, okay? My wisdom..."

"Well, brave white horse."

Aleister sighed and looked at the heavily armored carnivore army in front of him: "I never thought that I would have to fight with such animals..."

Compared to the ragtag army of small animals behind them, the army of armored brown bears, wolves, hyenas, and eagles is terrifying just by looking at them from a distance.

And what are those things behind her?
Little rabbit, little deer, little lamb, little kangaroo, little cat, little dog...

——How can we fight this?
Unless a Sky Thunder is stacked on the spot and the little animals are allowed to drive the Gundam, Aleister really can't think of any possibility of winning.

Although many of these small animals are carnivores...for example, foxes, cats and dogs, these are obviously not animals that can survive by eating grass.

...Do I have to do it? It's not impossible, but I just feel like this isn't the right way to get through the game...

Aleister thought so and released the Night Demon. The crow flapped its wings and followed them.

And from another perspective that they cannot see.

Aiwass in spirit form breathed a sigh of relief.

He had just talked to the white horse for a long time and finally managed to calm it down.

He looked back at Aleister who had turned into a fox, and couldn't help but touch her. But Aiwass's hand just passed through Aleister's body, and she didn't feel Aiwass's presence at all.

"Is she your friend?"

The old wizard, leaning on his staff, walked slowly towards him from a distance: "She doesn't look very smart. She doesn't understand her situation yet."

He had just finished talking to Golden Lion.

After that, he immediately rushed over to see what Aiwass was doing.

The white horse on the side looked back at the old wizard, who shook his head slightly to signal him not to speak.

"I wish you victory, Your Highness."

Aiwass ignored the old wizard and said gently to the white horse: "I will pray for you and wish you a triumphant return."

Bai Ma nodded and replied briefly: "We will win."

But Aleister, who was on the white horse, only heard the sound of the white horse.

She immediately looked bitter: "You..."

Why are there still people setting up FLAGs on the battlefield?

Then the white horse took two quick steps.

Its speed became faster and faster, and then it suddenly opened a pair of pure white wings and leaped high into the sky!

“Thunder!”

The clear sound of a white horse rang out in the air, and many falcons swooped down.

But its prayers have resounded through the sky: "Crush my enemies—"

The next moment, violent lightning fell from the sky.

Dense, spider-web-like thundercloud storms descended from the dark sky, leaping and baptizing the beasts.

One after another, the beasts were knocked down with wailing sounds. Aleister crouched down, clinging tightly to the back of the white horse, his eyes wide open in shock.

——You really turned into a Gundam!
No, Arthur has this trick? ?
The huge red bear roared and pounced from the other side.

When it landed, the whole earth was rumbling and shaking!

The earth cracked and countless fissures opened up in an instant, and the small animals fell into them.

Immediately afterwards, one after another, the small animals spread their pure white wings like angels and barely flew out of the crack.

But from the cracks in the ground, sharp rock spikes suddenly shot out, killing and injuring them in large numbers!
The ground was shaking violently, constantly deforming at a high frequency. It wasn't even just an earthquake - the entire ground looked like the spectrum of a music player, fluctuating at a high frequency. Small animals were constantly thrown into the air, and when they fell, they were knocked out again by the newly raised rock spikes.

——Ah? The Supreme God has this trick? No, the first opponent Arthur faced shouldn't be the Supreme God, what about the Giant King and the "Broken Branch"?

As someone who had "personally experienced" the Battle of Heaven Punishment, Aleister felt confused for a moment.

But if we say that this was the time when Hengwo seduced the Beast Master, it doesn’t seem right... Hengwo didn’t fight with the Beast Master.

But fortunately, Aleister has a deep understanding of mysterious knowledge.

There seems to be only one event that satisfies all these conditions at the same time...

That was the story the Lord of Scales and Feathers told Aleister.

"Nibiru, the sky-eating beast..."

Aleister murmured quietly.

That was Yi Tiansi’s most glorious achievement when he was still a mortal.

"…At that time, there was a huge beast on the earth that was as big as the sky, and it specifically ate those with wings."

The voice of the Lord of Scales and Feathers rang in Aleister's ears:

[It eats powerful beasts and becomes even more powerful; it eats wise beasts and becomes even more wise. It devours the long-lived magic tree and eats tens of millions of scaly creatures, and thus acquires a hard shell and solid bones.]

[It considers itself the "King of the Earth", but its only flaw is that it has no wings. As a result, it is bound to the earth and cannot dominate the sky]

[So it ate a lot of winged creatures in order to grow wings. Its body became bigger and bigger, but it never grew wings.]

Aleister suddenly turned around and looked at the little animals behind him that had grown angel wings.

That is……

"——Winged Ones?"

Aleister opened his eyes wide and murmured.

"…What is she thinking about?"

The old wizard in the spirit state commented: "Shouldn't this be the incident of the elves rebelling against the beast master? The largest kingdom of mankind, Herasil, was born because of this.

"I still remember, it should be called... [War of Monsters]. Races that were not created by the Beast Master gathered together to fight against the army of hundreds of monsters. The white horse should be Hengwo, and the horse is also related to the sun and the moon. According to the results of that war, it was humans who prospered in the end... That is, the 'lion' that symbolizes the beginning of the Herasil Empire."

"Not necessarily."

Aiwass just closed his eyes slightly: "This scene also has another interpretation..."

Aleister was still trying to recall the words of the Lord of Scales and Feathers:
"-- In the end, Yi Tiansi, who was still a mortal, killed the giant beast when he was on the verge of death. At that time, he did not have the powerful strength he would later have, nor did he have such an ultimate ability. So he relied on traps, conspiracies, poisons and curses to complete the 'hunt'..."

That is an act of transcendence in which the weak defeats the strong.

Why is there no "human" in this world?
That’s right, it’s because humans haven’t been born yet.

This was a time when the Lord of Scales and Feathers did not yet exist, when the Supreme Heaven and the Great Sage were still mortals, when the Hunting King still existed, and when the King of the Earth preyed on all creatures on earth at will...

——This is indeed a battle of punishment for heaven.

But this is the first chapter of the "Battle of Heaven Punishment"!
Looking at the white horse in the sky with its wings spread out to catch the lightning, Aleister seemed to see a brave warrior with white wings behind him. And the red giant bear opposite it looked so ferocious and terrifying...

That is the story of the pure white horse, representing an oppressed race, leading the people to fight against the giant bear!
Then, who that golden lion is...it's self-evident.

A lion being torn apart from within by a mole.

The metaphor could be the hunting king whose scales and feathers were "stolen" by the Lord of Scales and Feathers!

"——So, this is also a cycle of fate?"

And if the conditions of this story are met...

Aleister suddenly realized what he had to do.

"Vignes, curse that giant bear!"
