Pastor's Tantra

"Ritual punishment tends to eliminate."

Under everyone's gaze, Aiwass put one hand under the book of law and said slowly: "Like the punishment of the undead by the priest, it is also called 'dispel'. The original meaning of this word is to banish. Because people believe that the corpse is unclean and has the possibility of giving birth to the undead, and killing the sinner cannot completely end this evil - it can only disappear forever."

The Book of Laws floated on the palm of Aiwass's hand. Aiwass's other hand pointed at the open pages of the book, and there was an extremely complex magic circle on it, which floated up on its own.

The rituals stored in it meant that Aivas did not need to carve complex ritual formations on the ground, but provided them himself. And it also provides the "first time" ritual... In other words, Aiwass does not need materials every time he performs the ritual recorded in the first book of law.

Aiwass has received a total of five rituals so far.

He decided to use one of them to execute Wolfram and completely eradicate the hidden danger.

"So, I'm going to eliminate you once and for all, Wolfram."

"And you'll agree to it yourself," Aiwass declared.

Wolfram's face flushed due to gravity, his silent pupils full of sarcasm.

"Don't worry," Aiwass said slowly, "Listen to me——

"——Do you believe in your own will and courage?"

When he said this, he glanced at Merlin.

Looking at the interested Merlin, Aiwass knew that Merlin already knew which ritual this was.

So Aiwass directly declared: "This is a ritual designed by Weizhe himself. He left the last way for mortals who cannot possess wisdom but still want to get it. So that people who have nothing but courage can also get wisdom. .

"I will blind your right eye, cut off your right hand, and pierce your heart. I will use all your life and soul as a sacrifice, and sacrifice you to your future self; you at this moment will give it to the next second You, the you of the next second, to you of the next second - this kind of sacrifice is based on the power of Huan Tiansi, and it is an infinite loop. You are a great wizard yourself, so you should be able to understand this ritual.

"You will see all the mysteries of the world - all the knowledge and secrets will flow into your mind. The longer you can persist, the more wisdom you will gain.

"If you can persist for nine days and nine nights, then you will obtain all the truths in the world. You will directly become the apostle of Weizhe and gain power comparable to Tiansi. And if you cannot persist for that time, your soul will be destroyed during the ceremony. Obliterated under the pressure of circulation. This is the knowledge given to me by the Book of the Dharma."

Aiwass looked at Wolfram and said calmly: "You heard it too, Merlin is on our side. Under his care, you cannot be resurrected or reincarnated through your previous design—— Of course, you can also just accept death and see if Xiong Tiansi will accept you.

"You can also choose to accept the trial. Merlin will tell you whether this trial is real."

"It is indeed true."

Hearing that there was still something to do with him, Merlin came over and said seriously: "I swear in the name of Weizhe that this ritual is real. And Aiwass did not miss anything - there are even people who have passed this ritual. He obtained all the truths of the world and became the apostle of the Great Philosopher. And he himself is a giant... and he is also the apostle that the giants in the north currently believe in."

Merlin's words were true.

That apostle's name was "Odin."

Because he is the only apostle who has passed the test of Weizhe and obtained the truth of the world, he is as silent as Weizhe, and has one eye like Weizhe. Because of this, he usually exists as the shadow of Weizhe, and some people confuse his existence and legend with Weizhe.

"The giants of the North have been looking for this ritual, but they have never found it. And it is in my hands now."

Aiwass declared: “I will give you the Trial of Odin.

"If you agree, blink twice; if you disagree, blink once."

Wolfram was silent for a moment and blinked. But after just a slight pause, he blinked again.

——Aiwass knew that he would not refuse.

the reason is simple.

Because Wolfram is old and he has accomplished nothing.

The Supreme Heaven hates deserters and prisoners, and encourages the courage to fight to the death without retreating. He had been imprisoned since he was a teenager and escaped from prison decades ago. He has never done anything in his life except being imprisoned. In order to gain the power to escape from prison, he even changed his career to become a bound person on the authoritarian path.

After escaping, he was tinkering with the Noble Red Society, but in the end he didn't achieve any results.

In the original world line, Noble Red has been causing trouble for Avalon, and even directly destroyed Avalon. Although it was a conspiracy of the Star Antimony people, Noble Red was also an important chess piece. If it is based on the original purpose of "please Xiong Tiansi" and "revenge the Avalonians", in fact, Noble Red has already achieved a basic victory.

——At least Wolfram himself won.

But because of Aiwass' interference, Noble Red was like a clown.

They have done nothing, and now they are about to be completely wiped out. And even if Wolfram can escape, he may not have time to organize a new Noble Red.

If you can obtain a book of law or a sacred entity, it can be said to be a great achievement.

But now...

Aiwass could see Wolfram's fear just by looking into his eyes.

He was afraid that he would be rejected by Xiong Tiansi. He fears that he will become a useless and powerless wandering soul.

Even if he knew it was a trap, he would never give up again.

--Or.

Just because Aiwass made this proposal in front of him that "carried the risk of death but would yield huge benefits if successful", it was absolutely impossible for him to refuse.

Because if he refuses at this time, it will be equivalent to choosing cowardice.

Then Xiong Tiansi will still be disappointed in his soul.

And even if he passes the trial, he will be restrained by Weizhe himself because he knows too much.

Regardless of the outcome, the outcome was already determined when Aiwass raised this opinion.

Merlin looked at Aiwass and couldn't help but take a breath.

This kid... is really a bit ruthless.

"Hehehe..."

Aiwass let out a laugh of unknown meaning and reached out his hand to press the Book of Laws. The ritual formation shone with an even brighter purple light.

"Then I'll give you a trial."

He spoke in a low voice, and the purple light turned into blue.

The power of the ritual turned the giant prince's right eye and right arm into nothingness - just as Aiwass originally said, the ritual "eliminated" them as sacrifices.

"——I pay homage to Wei Zhe, the God with the number four, the God who sees the truth, the God who remains silent!"

At this moment, Aiwass's right hand grabbed the back of Sherlock's neck, who had been standing beside him, and chanted loudly: "I preside over Odin's trial!"

The power of the Book of Law eliminates all complicated steps.

The storm roared around Aiwass.

His mana poured out quickly, and even the mana in Sherlock's body was continuously drawn out by the ritual.

The next moment, the sky began to become gloomy.

The thunderclouds that had just dispersed were dense again, and the wind was strong.

A single blue eye lit up in the dark clouds.

It looked at Aiwass and Sherlock, and then at Merlin standing in the distance. Finally, he turned his eyes to look at the giant hanging upside down.

And the next moment, a bolt of thunder suddenly fell!

The dark blue thunder was like a spear, piercing the heart of the giant prince!

The giant prince's eyes suddenly widened.

All the veins popped up on his face, and countless dark blue runes were swimming on his body. An infinite amount of deep blue light overflowed from the depths of his pupils.

He was shaking violently and struggling violently - even though his mouth was sealed, the almost roaring scream was blocked in his throat and came out from his nostrils.

His skin suddenly turned red and then purple. The crackling blue light was like lightning, swimming around him - that was Weizhe transmitting all the secrets he knew to him.

But this state only lasted for a short two minutes.

Two minutes later, the giant prince seemed to have lost some balance - his body began to swell abnormally, like the joints of a gout patient. There were one or two spots at first, and then there were dense bulges all over the body.

"it's over."

Merlin sighed: "It's really disappointing... I thought I could hold on until tomorrow at least.

"Self-sacrifice in pursuit of wisdom, but resisting the infusion of truth into one's brain... It's really ridiculous. Then isn't this endless cycle of rituals broken? Being smart..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the giant prince inflated like a balloon.

Then, the blue spear disappeared with a crackle.

And the bulging mass of flesh began to collapse and shrink inward.

Eventually it completely turned into nothingness.

"What a shame."

The corners of Aiwass' lips raised slightly: "It's really... as expected."

The clouds dissipate.

At the end, the eye in the sky and among the dark clouds even glared at Merlin fiercely, causing Merlin to sneer and quickly take off his hat and salute to the sky.

But in Aiwass's field of vision, there was an unprecedented feast——

I saw white spots of light all over the sky.

They surged toward Aiwass like a river and submerged into his body. There was so much experience poured into him this time that Aiwass directly felt a "full" feeling.

[Kill the fifth-level transcendent and gain 2000 free experience]

In this way, Aiwass could confirm that Wolfram was indeed dead.

He exploded with even twice as much experience as he would have normally deserved - which should be evidence of his complete demise.

Aiwass even saw some scattered light spots dissipate. There is probably close to one-seventh, which is not a large number, but it still makes Aiwass feel a pity.

That should be because I can only absorb so much free experience in one breath.

only……

Aiwass looked at Merlin.

He wanted to confirm one thing.

Merlin, who became very well-behaved after being glared at by his boss, was like a student who immediately regained his vitality after walking out of the class teacher's office with his head lowered. He turned his hat in one hand and asked with interest: "What next? ? Are you going to hold a ceremony next to confirm your act of 'transcendence' and gain an increase in power?"

——Merlin didn't see the lights in Aiwass's eyes at all.

I see.

Aiwass now felt confident.

It seems that even the apostles of Pillar God cannot see that he can get "experience points".

"No need," Aiwass smiled, "I already got it."

"Oh, is it so."

Looks like he doesn't want to perform in front of him, Merlin thought. That's reasonable.

He glanced at the dim yellow amber villages around him and replied casually: "In that case, I will leave.

"You don't have to worry about this situation now - when you wake up tomorrow morning, everything will be restored to its original state. The village solidified by Amber's own hands will not be destroyed for such a simple reason."

Merlin chuckled and put on his mage hat.

"Mr. Merlin! Do you know the contract here?"

Seeing that Merlin seemed to be leaving, Haina finally couldn't help but ask: "What kind of contract did the ancestors of Yingjiao Village sign... that led to this situation?"

"That's not something you should know now, Miss Haina."

Merlin said gently: "When the time is right, I will tell you.

"——Because I was the one who witnessed the contract to behead the people of the valley."

After he finished speaking, he nodded slightly to Aiwass and disappeared in a burst of blue light.

update completed!

Although it’s a little late, it’s an update of over 6,000 words!

The plot in Yingjiao Village is over, and then we have to go back to Glass Island!
