Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 1161 Angel "Aiwas"

The voice of the pure white figure was closer to Aiwass than to young Jacob.

It's just thinner and higher-pitched. The emotional content is also lighter and more vague... and more "standard".

It's like the sound synthesized by AI.

"Are you Aiwass?"

Aiwass laughed when he heard this: "Then who am I?"

[You are Aiwas Moriarty, grandson of Jacob Alexander, son of Julio Alexander. Adopted son of James Moriarty. Former Eternal Pope. Prince of Avalon. Chief Advisor of the New Herasl Empire. The 'Snake Tail' of the Ring Heavenly Master. A fragment of the Samsara Heavenly Master. A divine entity. Son of the Serpent Father. My prototype. A time traveler.]

The angel "Aivaz" uttered a long string of words that sounded like a chant without hesitation.

Hearing this, the smile on Aiwass's face gradually faded and then disappeared.

He stared at the "angel" behind the smiling young man and asked again: "Then who are you?"

【I am just 'Evans'. 】

Aiwass replied.

"This is Aiwass, your half."

Jacob looked at Aiwass and said softly, "He is also Aiwass. He was born earlier than you. From this perspective, he can be said to be your biological brother."

Aiwass did not respond or question.

He just stared at Jacob quietly, giving people the feeling of a cold snake.

Jacob chuckled, pushed his monocle, spread his hands and said calmly: "Huan Tiansi gave me the snake tail he cut off, and asked me to create a new 'Ai'. Every generation of snake tail is called Ai... just like the name I gave you is 'Aiwas'.

"——To be honest, I have been waiting for this moment for a very long time."

"…'Soul Mirror Ritual'."

Aiwass whispered.

It was not a question, but a certainty.

The secret told to Aiwas by Annie is the real name of the so-called "Swamp Man" ritual. Use the mirror to copy a completely identical soul, and then use his artificial human technology to create an identical body.

This is the purpose of Jacob creating this ritual!
"Yes."

Jacob said frankly: "This technology is perfected for you."

"You betrayed Huan Tiansi?"

"How could that be... Rather, I was able to become Huan Tiansi's apostle because I invented this technology."

Jacob smiled and said casually: "I just split the snake's tail in two.

"Have you ever planted a tree? Probably not. There is a technique called grafting... It is a technique of grafting a bud or branch from one plant onto another plant, so that the two parts grow into a new individual.

"The 'Soul Mirror Ritual' can copy the soul, but not the power. So I cut the 'Sacred Entity' given to me by Huan Tiansi in half, and used the complete copy of the soul to create 'Aivas'. Because you are missing half of your essence, you cannot 'awaken your past life memories' from birth.

"But as you can imagine... a soul with only half of its essence cannot make a perfect snake tail. So I added some new sacred essence to you...

"…For example, some fragments of Die Tiansi."

Butterfly Celestial Master...

A sentence suddenly popped up in Aiwas's mind.

That was what Gray said to herself when she was still a saint.

[——His Holiness the Pope said that you might be the descendant of Die Tiansi.]

"The Butterfly Master has the power to shed his skin. He will leave behind his power and body, and reincarnate his soul into a mortal who has lost all his power. After living an ordinary life, he will return to the dream world and use his power to shed his skin into a new form... He uses the memories of life after life to practice his [Beauty]."

Jacob said, "Die Tiansi was reincarnating at the time, and he happened to leave his body in the dream world. Huan Tiansi and Die Tiansi have a good relationship, so I was able to steal the body he left behind and fill it into your body. After all, when he returns to the dream world, he will also need to condense a new body... This can only be regarded as a rare material, and it is not fatal.

"And this material is an excellent neutral catalyst. Because you only use the divine essence but do not take the power within, there is no remnant of the path of beauty in your body."

"Di Tiansi... Could it be..."

Aiwass suddenly realized something.

He blurted out: "The Flame-Defying Butterfly?"

Jacob nodded and smiled, "Indeed, I didn't use it all on you. It would be a pity to waste it, so I caught some Flame Butterflies and spent some time to make it into a brand new Phantom Demon. "At that time, I was making Hercules' Swamp Man in order to open the Herasil Vault, so I stuffed it into her body - oh, by the way, the name Swamp Man was given by Huan Tiansi. The inspiration for this technology also came from Him."

"...Yulia?"

Aiwass murmured.

Jacob nodded in affirmation.

Iverson felt the wonder of fate - it turned out that in a sense, he and Yulia were really brother and sister?

Even closer than blood relationship.

Half of the divine nature of Aiwass and the Flame Butterfly is exactly the same!

In a sense, they can even be said to be half-bodies!
No wonder Yulia has been close to Aiwass since she was very young, and Aiwass has trusted Yulia since she was very young... They are a real family!

——They are even souls molded by Jacob!

"...Okay, I have no other questions."

Aiwass took a deep breath and said calmly: "What's the matter with you calling me?"

"It's nothing serious, I just wanted to see you."

Jacob said gently: “After all, you are my grandson, my best work, and the half of the master I serve.

"Now that the Ring of the Tail has fallen to the ground, fate has come to an end. Even if I touch you, it won't cause any unexpected disturbances... By the way, I was actually present at your wedding with that child. It's just that you didn't see me."

At this point, Jacob suddenly paused and said, "Oh, by the way...if you really want to see An Xi, it's better not to drive over there. Otherwise, you won't be able to see anything."

"……Ok, I know."

Aiwass nodded, feeling surprised and awkward at Jacob's unexpected kindness.

Originally, Aiwas thought there might be a fight.

As a result, only "Evans" had a subtle hostility towards him, but Jacob loved him from the bottom of his heart. This made Aiwas a little silent.

As Isabel once said, he really wasn't very good at dealing with other people's love.

Aiwass said softly: "It's probably like when the leader comes to inspect, he notifies us in advance... In that case, nothing can be found."

"Yes."

Jacob warned, "Be careful, Aiwass. There are more than one or two ritualists who have been promoted to the sixth level in Anxi... You should know that ritualists are a profession where the weak defeat the strong. Their power is very strong, and even you will be in danger if you underestimate the enemy.

"But if I say this, you may not understand...but you will understand soon."

After Jacob finished speaking, he left.

At the time, Aiwass thought this was part of the Riddler's story. His grandfather finally couldn't stand the Riddler's nature anymore and told a riddle before leaving...

But soon, Aiwass knew how fast this "soon" was -

Less than ten seconds after Jacob left, Priestess Dongya spoke out.

"Sir," Dongya prostrated herself on the ground respectfully, her tail stretched out, "Please save Rock Cellar City."

"…Excuse me, what happened to Rock Cellar City?"

The guide Anar trembled and broke the silence.

This desert nomad who had only a vague understanding of supernatural common sense was now the only one who dared to speak out besides Aiwass and Dongya.

Because she had the least education, she was the only one in the audience who didn't understand what Jacob was saying at all.

——What a gibberish! I can’t understand a word you’re saying.

Except for the word "Huan Tiansi", which she could barely understand, she didn't even understand the meaning of many other words.

To her, the most terrifying existence was the Good Lord, followed by the Crow Guards who guarded the water source and collected water taxes. The snake priestess in front of her was probably at the level of the Crow Guards.

The snake priestess didn't even look at her.

The scales on her body still had grayish-white traces. When she prostrated herself on the ground, a piece of scale armor on her waist shattered with a creaking sound, revealing not flesh but stone texture.

She just stared at Aiwass and said something that made Anar feel like she was falling into an ice cave:
"——The entire Rock Cellar City has been petrified."
