Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 1107: Rounding off equals conquering the whole world
Just like in the game, the later the version, the more "wild monsters" other than extraordinary people there are -

The essence of the Tail Ring is to share the power of the Tao that is exclusive to the Tiansi with the material world. And because of the expansion of the material world, it is equivalent to weakening the balance barrier of the sand clock in disguise, destroying the original absolute balance between the dream world and the material world.

Raising the maximum energy level of more extraordinary people means more opportunities to be promoted to the position of dream world apostles or heavenly officials, and it also means that more phantom demons can live in the material world normally, thus achieving a new equilibrium form of mutual penetration.

——To put it simply, when the Tail Ring Ceremony begins, phantom demons will begin to appear in the material world.

The fact that the Scholar of Great Sin can capture phantom demons can help him eliminate the phantom demons in the material world in disguise.

After all, although killing a superhuman was against the law, at least one could obtain his superhuman items and personal wealth. However, killing a phantom demon would not bring any benefit except for some superhuman materials that might not be valuable. Compared with fragile mortals with flesh and blood, phantom demons were even more difficult to kill.

The returns are lower and the risks are higher. In this case, perhaps the phantom demon will become a new disaster.

But if the profession of Great Sin Scholar rises, it will be different...

Capturing phantoms will become a necessity. Without pastoral methods, they cannot tame phantoms with bare hands like Aiwass did, and can only defeat and capture them honestly - and because the Great Sin Scholar has no formal inheritance, everyone's phantom configuration must be like the character construction in the early stage of the game, emphasizing a sense of freedom.

This makes it unlikely that the Great Sin Scholars have the combat power to stably capture phantoms stronger than themselves. Therefore, there will definitely be "escort bodyguards" who protect these Great Sin Scholars and assist them in capturing phantoms... There may even be "hunters" who beat the phantoms half to death and send them to the faces of the Great Sin Scholars to make them sign a contract.

This is equivalent to giving birth to a new profession that is suitable for extraordinary people and allows them to use their combat power to exchange for benefits. This will obviously be beneficial to social stability - in modern society, money is very important. Extraordinary people must have efficient ways to make money, otherwise they will find ways to make money themselves.

Being a bodyguard or hunter is at least better than being an "adventurer" who digs graves or a "mercenary" who kills and robs people.

Now that the Fallen Lord is dead, the demonologists have no choice. Those who are proficient in rituals and curses can give up their professional level, downgrade from level 10 to level 20, and reclassify as a spellcaster of the same path, starting from the second level again... But for those demonologists who are only good at demonology, it is undoubtedly the end of the world.

It's like being told that the major has been cancelled before you even graduate from college; or you're almost done writing your thesis and then find out that the research direction was wrong from the beginning and someone has committed academic fraud - what else can you do except rewrite it with a lot of curse words?

Aiwass could give them a chance. If they were willing to join his school, at least they would have a new and legitimate way out. As for having to obey Aiwass's rules and give up those bad old habits... that was no big deal.

When their original mentor, the Fallen Angel, was still alive, they might have to consider whether to change jobs; but now that the Fallen Angel has been sent away, unless they are die-hard diehards, they will definitely escape if they can.

After Aiwass finished explaining the professional characteristics of the Great Sin Scholar and his clear personal needs, Haibasha quickly responded: “I completely understand.

"——In that case, you can start preparing the seal right away."

"Don't you need to transfer it to the new holy sword?"

Aiwass was a little surprised.

"No need," Haibasha gave a precise answer, "I just observed this spirit. I infer that he should be some kind of collective incarnation of the Knights of the Round Table, or an abstract manifestation of the concept of 'Knights of the Round Table'. He can use all the swordsmanship and weapons of the Knights of the Round Table, including the Holy Sword of Clarent.

"But if you plan to sign a contract, it won't be a good idea to wait for it to possess Clarent. Because the Holy Sword of Clarent is the Holy Sword of the Crown Lord, and the Silver Crown Dragon is the Pillar God in charge of the contract. Even if He does nothing, it will cause great interference to the ceremony and the contract itself - just like our view of Malmidova, it is only the sword itself, not the Holy Knight spirit in it.

"The power of Malmidova may belong to the Beast Lord or the Great Abyss; and the power of Clarent belongs to the Crown Lord. In this respect, there is no difference between the two. Obviously, they have nothing to do with the spirits in them. If the spirit enters Clarent and can be accepted by the sacred will in it... in a sense, he is already an apostle of the Crown Lord. I don't know what your relationship with the Crown Lord is, but I think it is better to avoid such meaningless disputes and conflicts as much as possible."

At this point, Haibasha paused for a moment: "I even speculated... that spirit was most likely from the first generation of Hercules. "Because Hercules, like Hermes, did not become a god. And you may not know that Hercules was a hero who stood tall and proud - he accomplished many incredible feats. With his achievements, fame and strength, when he ascended to the dream world after his death, he would at least become an apostle of the Pillar God..."

"But Hercules is missing, right?"

Aiwass continued.

Haibasha sighed, "I always thought that he listened to Hermes' nonsense and followed the path of the fool and chose to destroy himself. Although it is unlikely, this is the only way to explain why he did not reach the dream world after his death.

"But now there is another possibility - his soul may have always existed in this holy sword.

"Only Hercules, the former master of this sword, could not be bewitched by Marmidová over such a long time; only his divine soul comparable to that of an angel could remain intact over such a long time..."

Haibasha raised his head and looked at his daughter, "Saffron" Croxus.

Hercules in the sword, and Crocus in the puppet... How similar are their natures?

"My technique for sealing Croxus is no secret. The reason why Croxus needs to be sealed in my studio is because of her special physique - if she comes into contact with a phantom for too long, she may resonate and become a phantom. But Hercules does not have this taboo.

"After all, I know very well that Marmidova has no ability to incubate spirits. How could a divine spirit with specifications close to those of a celestial being and surpassing those of an apostle be born out of thin air?"

Haibasha asserted: "A soul that can be transformed into a high-level phantom demon cannot be born out of thin air. A high-level phantom demon... This level of soul power must come from a great figure in the material world. Compared to the inconspicuous crazy knight among the Knights of the Round Table you mentioned, I am more willing to believe that it is Hercules."

Aiwass nodded. "That makes sense... Ms. Hypatia, do you think there is a possibility that although Hercules' soul has been preserved, his memory has been worn out and consumed over a long period of time. So after he witnessed the miracle of the Knights of the Round Table, he thought he was one of them?"

"This explanation does make sense." Haibasha nodded.

"……I see."

Aiwass nodded slowly: "Then I will start sealing it immediately."

His mind became a little more active.

——I didn’t expect there would be an unexpected gain!

Originally, he just planned to subdue a naive Paladin spirit to use as the Holy Sword Activator... but it turned out that there was a high probability that it was Hercules whose memory was deleted!
According to his historical knowledge, Hercules was a great existence known as a demigod in those days. The establishment of the Heracle Empire was closely related to his "Twelve Trials" - with these twelve trials, he could have directly ascended to become a Celestial Master of the Path of Power, and even had a chance to win the position of Pillar God...

Some cardinals believed that Hercules had a chance to surpass the High Heavens before Arthur and become the new pillar god of the path of power. It was only because his soul disappeared after his death that the path of authority came into being.

——This means that Hercules even has the qualifications of a Pillar God!
It is equivalent to a small pillar god with a "promising future"!
Rounding it off, this is roughly equivalent to Aiwass conquering a pillar god!
