Chapter 647: The Arrogant Beast·Aiwass (please vote for me)
After Aiwass confirmed his choice, the remaining two entries disappeared.

The golden star gradually grew bigger and taller, turning into a star and the only sun in the dark world.

Then it gradually extinguished like quenching... Only then did Aiwass see its color clearly.

Half is red and half is purple. A Tai Chi cycle of yin and yang is formed.

Like the rising sun, but also like the setting sun. Repeatedly circulated, vague and uncertain.

And when Aiwass saw it clearly, the giant sun began to rotate rapidly and glow——

Staring at it, Aiwass immediately fell into a dazed hallucination, and his consciousness seemed to be pulled out of the body.

In a daze, Aiwass saw seven mysterious marks. Three on the left, three on the right, and one on top.

Four of the marks are dull.

A mark burned with fire, like ashes.

"Humph!"

Suddenly, the black-haired Aiwass seemed to see Aiwass coming.

He stood up from his throne, and the earth and the palace shook and collapsed. He was suspended in the air, swung his right hand horizontally outward, and opened the six-color huge wings with a roar behind him——

What was reflected in the mirror was his own face.

Aiwass immediately understood the meaning of these two marks.

Aiwass felt a blue light glowing around him - and he soon realized it was no illusion.

That's a mirror.

A blue, huge quiet magic circle also appeared behind him, just like the magic circle behind the black-haired Aiwass when it first appeared.

It was Aiwass with an arrogant and unruly expression - his hair was black and his pupils were blood red.

He was wearing black light armor and sitting on the throne with his legs crossed.

[Sloth], [Jealousy].

The more he looked at it attentively, the more he felt that it could be any color - it seemed to be black, it seemed to be red, it seemed to be transparent.

A huge, silent blue magic circle appeared behind him, facing Aiwass, and then a large amount of electric light burst out from it. It suddenly went berserk, and the triple ring began to rotate rapidly, splashing like overloaded gears of a machine. Mars. The color also changed to a deep red that was almost purple.

As Aiwass's consciousness gradually disappeared, he finally saw...

A mark danced with dark purple electric light, which seemed darker than black.

He snorted coldly and pinched all six light balls into his palm.

Red, blue, yellow, green, white, black.

As for the remaining one - the one at the top, Aiwass couldn't see its color clearly at all.

But at this moment, Aiwass suddenly felt a pain in his heart.

He was looking over slightly with his right hand raised, and six small light balls of different colors surrounded his index finger.

An illusory chain emerged from Aiwass's heart, flew straight forward, and sank into the heart of the black-haired Aiwass in front of him. Like a tie, connecting the two of them together.

Then the blue and red, still and moving magic circle suddenly pulled inward and closed, sticking the two Aiwass together again!
Seeing the whole world in front of him suddenly collapse towards him, Aiwass subconsciously closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to reality.

But before his system panel popped up, he saw the strange tarot cards floating in front of him.

Those are no ordinary tarot cards.

There is no Thoth Tarot pattern on it as usual.

Inside the card was a young man who could be identified as Aiwass just by looking at his body shape. He was wearing a white robe with a hood that covered the upper half of his face, so his face couldn't be seen clearly. In his hand was the Book of Law that Aiwas was extremely familiar with.

The Book of Law has been opened, and the blue tranquility circle is suspended behind him.

There is also a vague circle of red light at the edge of the card, just like the blue light at the edge of Aiwass' field of vision just now!
——There is no doubt that the pattern depicted on this card is exactly like the last scene that the black-haired Aiwass just saw!
At the same time, the attributes of the cards also caught Aiwass’ eyes——

[Criminal Sin: Moriarty (Star)]

【Level: 30】

[Beyond the path, no attributes]

[Front position: Aiwass]

[Effect: Seal the weak demon into the tarot card and give orders]

[Effect: Transform yourself into the proud beast Moriarty, and Moriarty is regarded as a summon; this effect can only be used when all other six attribute sin beasts are on cooldown]

"... Me too, the beast of sin?"

Aiwass murmured, feeling incredible.

The mortal sin scholars he knew did not have this mortal sin card, nor did they have the ability to transform into the "arrogant beast"! Has history changed again... and why this time?
At this time, his system panel belatedly popped up, updating the changed parts:

大罪学者LV30：【基础仪式-6级（0%）】、【恶魔契约-11级（0%）】、【诅咒-3级（80%）】、【牧养（精华）-3级（0%）】、【恶魔学识-7级（0%）】

"——Succeeded?"

Sherlock, who had been staring here for a long time, almost jumped up from his chair and walked over quickly.

But Aiwass just lowered his head and looked at his hands expressionlessly.

It's completely different from the pain I felt when I advanced last time.

This time Aiwass didn't feel any pain at all.

He only felt as if his spirit had become infinitely high and infinitely far away - he was like an indifferent and ruthless monarch overlooking the earth. While his brain was extremely calm, he felt that everything in the world was meaningless and as fragile as snow.

Aiwass' pupils were filled with purple light, his eyes were indifferent and empty, and he had a majestic temperament like a monarch. That was far more awed by Sherlock than Isabel, and even more than Queen Sophia...so much so that his fast walking pace slowed down visibly to the naked eye, and then stopped a few steps away from Aiwass.

But at the same time, there is an extreme sense of harmony in Aiwass. This sense of harmony gives him a strange charm that makes anyone who sees Aiwass unable to help but take a second look.

The only difference is...

Aiwass felt that his heart was empty.

It's like I've lost something...

It's like making a decision and giving up one's wishes; it's like someone important dies but there's no time to grieve.

Aiwass couldn't help but reach out and touch his chest.

Even though I feel the powerful pulsation and the real temperature, there is a sense of alienation like touching other people's chests and feeling other people's heartbeats.

"I am fine."

Aiwass said calmly.

As he said this, new data continued to appear before his eyes:

【Professional Characteristics——】

[Unforgivable Ritual: Your "Basic Ritual" evolves into "Major Sin Ritual"]

[Break free: Your "Devil Contract" evolves into "Phantom Contract"]

[Phantom Contract: You can sign a temporary or permanent contract with phantoms other than demons, just like you have a contract with demons; your "Ritual: Summon Demon" can also summon phantoms other than demons]

Immediately afterwards, Aiwass's panel also changed.

大罪学者LV30：【大罪仪式-6级（0%）】、【幻魔契约-11级（0%）】、【诅咒-3级（80%）】、【牧养（精华）-3级（0%）】、【恶魔学识-7级（0%）】

Mana pool: 204/204 (none), 0/42 (wind)

...finally completed the advancement.

Aiwass breathed out slowly, and the cold and rational feeling lingering in his mind gradually dissipated, and the cold expression on his face gradually relaxed.

Then, he immediately felt strong weakness and dizziness.

"It seems...it's going well? Do you need to eat something first?"

Sherlock, who was watching from the side, reacted as soon as Aiwass' expression softened: "Should we go see Lily first?"

"I……"

Aiwass was about to reply when he saw a new prompt.

He suddenly became energetic, and he forced himself to concentrate and look over again.

I want to see what the God of Light Speed ​​Final Payment has made this time!
If it's weaker than the "First Edition Limited Commemorative Edition Road Characteristics", I'll have to think about it!
[You have completed the test of the Lord of Scales and Feathers]
