When the plot-skips players into the game world

Chapter 847: Chapter 225 Beast Master’s Unfinished Work Chapter 847: Chapter 225 Beast Master’s Unfinished Work Aiwass remembered that as a Moon Witch, Selene’s attributes should be Darkness and Water.

…If he seals her little lamb into one of the Great Beasts, Aiwass could indeed skip a Water-attributed Great Beast.

However, Aiwass knew that in both the Antimony Kingdom and the Daffodil Territory, there was a Water-attributed Great Beast that could be captured.

The former was a Water Elemental Lord imprisoned by an Alchemist, and the latter was a Tainted Blood Angel bred in a blood pool arranged by the Son of the Moon when he ruled the Daffodil Territory.

The former followed the Path of Balance, while the latter followed the Path of Love.

Both appeared in the later stages of quests, indicating that they definitely had the potential to level up.

But Aiwass still did not know exactly what abilities Selene had—the Moon Witch lineage could very well be a supportive one, and having a supporter might actually be more beneficial to Aiwass than becoming a Great Beast.

Just like after the Shadow Demon was sealed into a Night Fiend, she could no longer stay by Aiwass’s side all the time.

—And even without considering from a utilitarian perspective, Aiwass might not necessarily need to seal Selene.

While being sealed into a Great Beast would allow her to grow alongside Aiwass—if Aiwass were ultimately deified, they would ascend together.

However, this also meant that their destinies would henceforth be bound together.

The Shadow Demon already had a contract with Aiwass, and if Little Butterfly was not sealed, both she and Yulia would die.

Just like the Earthbound Spirit longing to leave the bar, so it was with Anastasia…

If she were not sealed, she would soon completely turn into a tree, a fate she despised.

At present, the only Phantom Cards Aiwass had forcibly sealed were the Penalty Demon and the Succubus, both of which were pure enemies.

And concerning the two Phantom Demons that Aiwass had his eye on…

although Aiwass was not quite clear about their specific sins, since they had become mainline dungeon bosses, that indicated they must have done something.

Whether it was out of a mindset to avert disaster, handle calamity, or prevent tragedy, capturing them would pose no issues.

Even if they were good Phantom Demons—going there in advance to help them solve problems was also good, so sooner or later Aiwass would make the trip.

After all, there were currently no players, and if left unattended, who knows what major problems might arise.

Thus, Aiwass made up his mind—

In any case, he would first go take a look at those two “Great Beast candidates.” Even if he couldn’t seal them as Great Beasts, at least making them into ordinary Phantom Cards was possible.

If that too failed, he would ask Selene for her opinion.

After all, she was quite clingy to Aiwass, so there was no worry about losing her accidentally.

Keeping her close and carefully watched would suffice… and if there was nothing else, feeding her some blood with the Shepherd’s Nurturing Skill was also an option.

“There’s also one more thing, Cyril.”

Aiwass addressed Cardinal Cyril: “Regarding Lily…

I actually have an idea.”

He shared his speculation with Cyril.

“You are well-informed, so I wanted to ask…

Am I guessing correctly?”

“…Did you finish reading ‘The Spider’s Silk Continuations’ in just one night?”

Old Cyril revealed a dawning look: “No wonder…”

Aiwass caught his implication, guessing his unspoken meaning: “You mean—?”

“Actually, Aiwass, you’re very close to the answer,” Cyril just smiled and responded.

Seeing the old man’s expression, Aiwass felt relieved.

But he still pressed: “Is it the Beast Master?

Or the Grey Celestial Marshal?”

“Both.”

Old Cyril replied.

—In “Yes” or “No”, he did not hesitate to choose “Or”.

“…Both?”

“You really did ask the right person.”

Old Cyril boasted, “I can tell you this—on this world, there are probably no more than three people who know this secret.

Including me and Cardinal Loki.”

—Loki?

Aiwass was struck by a hint of doubt, but continued listening.

“I do not know if you have heard such a rumor…

If you are unaware, then allow me to start from the beginning.”

The smile on Cardinal Cyril’s face slowly faded, his expression turning serious: “Do you know of the ‘Death of the Grey Celestial Marshal’?”

“…Are you referring to the war against the Supreme Heaven?”

“It seems you are aware, that is excellent.”

Cardinal Cyril nodded in agreement: “But in truth, the Grey Celestial Marshal did not die—her death is also a lie.”

“I know.”

Aiwass answered with certainty.

Of course, he knew—he remembered it clearly.

In the first round, pulled down by the ceremony of the Ring of Ouroboros, the Grey Celestial Marshal was included.

He was particularly impressed by the Grey Celestial Marshal.

There was no special reason, and it was unrelated to the plot…

It was simply because the Grey Celestial Marshal’s appearance was quite striking.

In the first phase, she was a long-haired woman dressed in a white-grey veil, covering half of her face like a soothsayer.

In the second phase, spiders devoured all her clothes, leaving only crucial areas wrapped in spider silk.

She seemed to be kidnapped by a spider, bound atop a giant grey spider, and also seemed to be riding the spider in battle…

Her pale body shone in the dark environment, suspended by spider silk, her body hoisted in the rapid movement of the spider, presenting a puppet-like distorted beauty.@@novelbin@@

—To be fair, it was hard to forget.

She was nearly the most beautiful BOSS at the time.

While browsing forums, Aiwass heard another story—that the Grey Celestial Marshal, called “the Lord of Hangings”, “the Mother of Puppetry”, was actually male!

Before his eyes darkened.

One could only say, it darkened before his eyes.

It was for this reason that Aiwass remembered the setting that “the true form of the Grey Celestial Marshal is actually grey mist.”

“…You know?”

Cardinal Cyril appeared somewhat puzzled: “How do you know?”

But seeing the firm conviction in Aiwass’s reaction, he realized this was not just casual talk.

Thus, Cardinal Cyril shook his head: “Never mind, it doesn’t matter…

You just need to know, the Grey Celestial Marshal ‘indeed died, but also indeed is alive’.”

“Did he reincarnate?”

Aiwass guessed: “Is Lily his reincarnation?”

“…It’s not that simple.

This matter also involves the Beast Master…

If you trigger the Advanced Divine Art with the Eternal Self, you would know that the Eternal Self and the Beast Master are actually two-in-one Pillar God.

In fact, the Beast Master has not been completely replaced by the Eternal Self, just like the mundane ‘desire of love’ is also filled with ‘beastly desire’.

“But the Beast Master sometimes awakens from ‘love’ and wishes to break free from the control of the Eternal Self.

What the Beast Master does is prepare the ‘Son of the Beast.’

“Simply put…

you humans have some ‘natural-born killers’, right?”

“Yes.”

Aiwass nodded.

He thought of Jack the Ripper…

and many more psychopaths.

However, he found the phrase “you humans” a bit strange, so he asked: “Only humans?”

“Yes, only humans.

Because you humans are the Son of the Serpent Father and the Son of the Eternal Self.

But the Eternal Self has not completely mastered the River of Creation, just like the former Silver-Crowned Dragon.

She does not possess the ability to independently create a species…

The monsters, werewolves, and Sons of the Moon created by the Eternal Self actually exist as dependents on other species.

“And in fact…

humans are the unfinished work of the Beast Master.

It is for this reason that you humans have the ‘beastly desire’ stemming from your instincts.”
