Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 901 Lucifer's Afterimage

And just then.

An extremely strong heat, accompanied by a red light that almost lit up half of the night sky, spread throughout the body. Aiwass and Galatea immediately recognized the source of that power: "Is that... the candle?"

"Sizhu was called back to the dream world from the material world!"

Immediately afterwards, there was a roar like an eagle or a dragon—a dark green cyclone hovered and rolled into the sky.

This was followed by an incredibly bright amber beam.

Those are the Lord of Scales and Feathers and Amber.

Did They also walk in the physical world?
"Twin Mirror... He doesn't seem to appear in the material world."

Without waiting for Aiwass to ask, Galatea took the initiative to speak: "He has been in the dream world, otherwise I can sense--"

"What about the path of love? Or should I say the path of beasts... Is the beast master still not here?"

Aiwass was a little confused.

According to the habits of the beast master, He would definitely appear in the material world.

But He was not sealed back to the dream world by the great miracle, which only means that He does not exist yet.

As the "sun" became dimmer, the moon, which was originally transparent, also appeared.

It was not the moon in the sense that Aiwas knew - it was more like a slightly larger star. It emitted a weak light that was not much brighter than the street lamps in the distance, but it still illuminated half of the night sky.

But at this moment, the sun, which had turned into an "eyeball", suddenly shot out a ray of azure blue lightning, hitting the moon directly!
The moon was hit by the beam of light and then turned into a meteor and fell into the sea.

Seeing that almost all the stars in the sky have dimmed, it seems that there is not much space left.

The beams of light rising from the ground gradually became sparse.

But the "Sun" did not die.

It simply turned into a giant blue eye hanging high in the sky.

The "eye" opened wide, zoomed and turned, searching for something on the ground. Whenever it saw something, the surrounding stars would vibrate, and then a beam of light would absorb it.

The bright yellow light curtain above the sky became clearer and clearer.

Aiwass felt a faint suppressive force - just like the feeling when Zhu Tang used the ritual before.

But at this moment.

A flaming spear came from nowhere and suddenly pierced the eye, bursting out flames visible to the naked eye!
"--you!"

A roar of extreme anger and pain resounded through the heavens and the earth!

At the same time, it was accompanied by a hearty laugh of “Hahahahahaha”.

Aiwass heard it very clearly and he immediately remembered who the voice was.

——That is the laughter of the Most High!
"Is this why Wei Zhe became one-eyed?!"

Aiwass blurted out.

The next moment, he saw the eye shrink and turn into a black sphere, disappearing along with the thunder in the sky.

At this moment, there was no sun or moon in the sky, only the much smaller black sphere and the huge, bleeding wound on it.

——That was the wound caused by the Sky-piercing Spear!
Red blood dripped out from the wound, forming a bright red waterfall.

The blood fell to the ground, but it did not bring destruction.

That bright red color has become the only light in this dark world.

The blood was like a flame, illuminating the dark red world.

There was a low tree in the distance. It absorbed the blood and continued to rise at a speed visible to the naked eye.

And because the eye was missing to block the crack, cracks also appeared in the flawless curtain of stars above the sky.

There were no more beams of light rising from the ground, and the stars in the sky no longer shone brightly. There were still some fish that slipped through the net on the ground, but they were not taken away.

As the blood energy fell from the sky, the terrifying, silent darkness surged in all directions like a wave. The entire world began to change at a speed visible to the naked eye - as if hundreds of thousands or millions of years of natural changes were condensed into a few hours.

A "beast" that had never been born appeared. There were also many more strange and bizarre things that Aiwas had never seen before.

But looking at Galatea's shocked and nostalgic eyes, Aiwass knew... these should be the spirits on earth in the "Age without Light".

Above the sky, the radiance of the stars gathered and condensed on the colorless single eye. The dark ball was shimmering with bright yellow light, and the wound seemed to shrink, but no one knew when it would heal.

"—This is Atlas's fault."

At this moment, a very attractive voice sounded from behind Aiwas: "So the gap should also be repaired by him. Before the sky is repaired, Atlas will be responsible for holding up the hole in the sky.

"Sacrifice belongs to the way of 'power'. The original reason for war was to gather enough sacrifices to the gods... and that sacrifice was used at this time. The skin cut can be used to repair the skin, and the wheat planted can also become new wheat. The blood shed by the sun created all things in the world, and the blood of all things is used to repair the sky.

"In order to punish Atlas for the damage he had done to the world, the authority of the sacrifice was transferred from the Sand Clock to the Snake Father...so the broken sky was eventually repaired by the Snake Father."

Aiwass turned around and looked at the young man behind him who should be extremely handsome.

He was at least four meters tall and looked like a giant or a moving stone statue.

The reason why it was said to be so was because his body was now glowing with a brilliant golden glow, and his entire body was translucent. His hair was translucent gold, and his skin was also translucent gold, like a figurine that had not yet been painted, and his features and outlines could not be seen at all.

The only thing that could identify him was the gorgeous wings behind him.

Winged species usually have only one pair of wings, and a few have ear wings or waist wings.

The young man in front of him, in addition to the wings behind his shoulders, has a pair of wings on his back and shoulders. In other words, he has a total of six wings behind his back - and there is also a wing behind his ears, elbows, and ankles.

There are twelve wings in total.

The fragile parts of the pure white wings were inlaid with gold and jewels, with extremely complex hollow patterns and decorations.

Compared with the translucent body, the wings are solid white and warm.

"You are……?"

Aiwass was a little confused.

But Galatea opened her eyes wide in shock and stood still as if she was frozen.

She looked at this scene and felt as if she had returned to the past.

"You can call me...Lucifer."

The second Winged King spoke gently, "Long time no see, Galatea. I have been listening here for a long time before I learned your language. Fortunately, it has lost its mystery and is not difficult to learn.

"Hello, kid who looks like 'Snake'."

He half-knelt down, stretched out his right hand to Aiwass, and explained: "The Snake said that this is a ritual to express goodwill."

Aiwas's mind was a little confused for a moment.

Isn't Lucifer the Fallen Angel?
He also stretched out his hand and slowly shook hands with Lucifer: "Hello..."

"Fallen Angel?... Actually, I originally wanted to be Winged Angel."

Lucifer seemed to have read Aiwas's mind.

He shook hands with Aiwass gently and friendly, then held him gently in his arms, put his face against his, and then stood up and took two steps back.

He looked up at the sky that was still bleeding, his voice steady and bright, with the intonation of a hymn:
"When Atlas steps into the Fourth River of Origin, I will inherit his name of 'Winged Celestial Master' and continue to protect the winged race.

"It's just that something may have gone wrong with the ritual... caused by deception, betrayal, sin, and... corruption."

The expression he showed towards Aiwass contained no hatred, only pity and sadness: “I am not Lucifer himself, but the consciousness left behind by the preservation technique.

"I leave my wings here, along with my love's heart, my light.

"They are the only ones I don't want to be contaminated by evil.

"——I have been keeping this memory and waiting here. But I waited for you...

"Will you lie to me again? Like we did in the past."
