Pastor's Tantra

When "Aiwass" in the game got this book, he must not have a single magic card in his possession.

In other words, he realized that this book had some "means to gain power", so he started making cards as the key to unlocking the hidden power of this book.

A long, long time ago, when Aiwass first started using Shadow Fiend to create cards, he actually had a doubt in his mind - why could he successfully create cards so easily?

Although as long as the "knowledge" is correct and the materials are good, cards can be made even if the energy level is not enough. This is the uniqueness of the ritual. It has the characteristics of "passing from generation to generation" and provides the possibility of "defeating the strong with the weak". This is a symbol of the origin of the snake father.

But what ordinary people can reproduce are only rituals that already exist.

If you want to create a new ritual, you must have the level of a ritualist to do it. Because ritualists can deconstruct the power of these paths, accurately capture the mysterious origin, and achieve symbolization through various miraculous means.

This is also the reason why Aiwass conducted experiments with Shadow Demon alone at that time, and finally confirmed that he could save Yulia through this method.

If this is the ritual developed by Jacob...then everything is right!

Regardless of the "Aiwass" in the original plot of the game, the Aiwass in this world has been him from the very beginning. Despite losing his memory, he still has a mature soul. From a very young age, he was able to take care of Yulia like an adult, which is proof of that.

——But after Aiwass came of age, he suddenly became like "Aiwass" in the game, and suddenly began to be extremely thirsty for knowledge beyond the path. Not only that, what he desires is not even rituals and curses...but "demon knowledge".

His grandfather, Jacob, was a spellcaster.

Aiwass even thirsted for this knowledge to the point of irrationality, and was willing to take the risk of meeting a dangerous "pen pal" alone.

...thinking about it now.

If Aiwass had not become a demonologist at that time, he would not be promoted to a scholar of mortal sin in the future.

And who does the knowledge of the Scholar of Sin and the Lord of Beasts come from?

——From the "divine entity" that Jacob saw!

Aiwass remembered that He appeared in a certain magic circle. In other words, He was most likely summoned by Jacob.

Shortly thereafter, Aivas Alexander was born.

That was the fourth year after Haina was created.

The so-called "holy entity" should be made of some of its fragments into the "Swampman", which may be Aiwass. Just like Haina was made from the fragments of Lancelot I.

...But thinking of this made Aiwass feel confused.

"He comes not from the east, nor from the west. He does not come from any house known to you."

What that divine being said sounded like a player and a time traveler.

But in the world line with players, "Aiwass" is not that special. "Aiwass" did finally master the power of the Lord of Beasts, but he still died - he actively blocked the player's gun and died.

In this world, there are no "player characters". Only Aiwass exists.

And Aiwass also met the condition of "not coming from the east, nor from the west. Not coming from any house you know", and he could indeed understand what he said.

...What if we change the angle again?

The reason why the players were able to arrive at the critical moment when Aiwass was in crisis and rescue him...

Could it be because "player" is actually inseparable from "Aiwass"?

The original NPC "Aiwass" cannot kill people and upgrade, which means that he does not have an "experience point" system. But he is "a child born from your heart and intestines", and he has indeed mastered the profession of the Lord of the Beast.

He was once saved by a player, and finally saved the player with his life. A cycle is formed.

Aiwass still doesn't know what the main plot will be after "Aiwass" died - because he has traveled through time since then.

But if we say that Aiwass and the player are two sides of the same coin...a certain part of the sacred entity is used to make Aiwass, and the other part is used to make the player, then it becomes reasonable!

——However, Aiwass has never seen such a person. He gained the power to use "experience points" and now evokes the Book of Law on his own.

"So that's it..."

Aiwass murmured.

According to the setting, the player character is the son of the Snake Father. But "Ouroboros", Huan Tiansi, is also the son of the snake father.

In other words, in terms of seniority... the player and Ah Huan should have a brotherly relationship.

But players have their own "origins". Their parents obviously do not have the blood of the Snake Father, so where does the title "Son of the Snake Father" come from?

Aiwass had an idea.

He made a bold guess.

——The "player" is most likely the fragment of Huan Tiansi!

In this way, it can also explain why the name of the game is called "The Ring of Endings".

And another fact supports this.

In the original plot, shortly after Aiwass became the "Lord of the Beast"...

The owner of "Beyond the Path", the Snake Father fell.

The person who replaced him as the pillar god was the former Huan Tiansi, the "evolved" lord of the new path - the pillar god who inherited the holy number 8, the "ring of the tail". Neither the Scholar of Sins nor the Master of Great Beasts were harmed by this great change... because they both belong to the profession of the Ring of Endings.

"——I am 9 to fools, and 8 to righteous people. I am also 1 among 8."

The voice of that divine entity rang in Aiwass's heart.

Aiwass didn't understand this at the time. But he understands now.

9 symbolizes perfection, eternity, and 8+1. It means greater than the Serpent Father.

And 8 is the sacred number inherited by the Ring of Endings.

1 represents the eternal self of the path of love and is a symbol of original desire.

——"Transcendence" minus "desire" is "authority". And "transcendence" plus "desire"... is "eternity".

Evolution represents the eternal change of all things. It does not require the weak to defeat the strong, but only requires never stopping. It does count as an eternity.

"So that's it."

Aiwass repeated his muttering, but his tone gradually became firmer.

He raised his head, his pupils shining with purple light.

——Do you want to use me as a pawn to ascend to the position of Pillar God?

Use the Ring of Ending Ceremony to pull down the existences in the dream world one by one...so that the fragments of Tiansi are scattered in the world, causing great changes in the world and breaking the old balance.

Let the transcendence be beyond the limit, and let the world turn into chaos.

This is exactly the "great achievement" He wants!

Huan Tiansi!

If I were really your fragment...

You can do it, but there’s no reason why I can’t!

An extremely clear idea came to Aiwass's mind.

This was something he had never thought about since he came to this world.

——I also want to ascend to the position of Pillar God!

Take back your way of "transformation"!

Chapter 2, updated!

Ah, I'm confused by the competition, so I wrote it a little late...but I'll still send you the promised update!

In a sense, the main plot of this book finally begins (x)
