When the plot-skips players into the game world-Chapter 1267 - 542: Sin Card: Holy Blood Angel_2

Aiwass simultaneously prayed to the Eternal Self and the Banquet Celestial Marshal.

"In the name of the moon and the dragon, please reshape the body before me into a sacred form—"

That was the ritual to forcibly transform the Son of the Moon.

Races other than the Son of the Moon could also use this ritual to transform the corpses of the Path of Love into the Son of the Moon.

Aiwass didn’t actually have much adaptation to the Path of Love... yet it contained part of Sister Sasha’s essence.

The reborn body of Aleister would simultaneously contain the blood of Aiwass, Isabel, Selene, and Sasha!

But if that were all, it would only be recreating another Son of the Moon.

However, Aiwass’s prayers were not yet complete—

"In the name of the Pride Seal, I command the power of the Fallen Celestial Marshal!

Aiwass declared loudly without pause: "Great Sin Celestial, Fallen Heaven—heed my summons!

"I am now clear of my sins, grant me the Seal of Lust!"

Now that the Fallen Celestial Marshal was dead, Aiwass no longer had to worry that using a card would attract the attention of the Fallen Celestial Marshal.

With the death of the Fallen Celestial Marshal, the Mark of Sin had become a "natural power." Just like wind, earth, water, and fire, anyone could use it freely, and thus the prayers need not be overly polite.

However, the spontaneously emerging power of the Great Sin still terminated the ritual.

Three distinct auras fell into the body of Aiwass before them!

The prayer was self-terminated due to an error, but two distinct auras had already flooded into Aiwass’s hands, who was now in the state of the Son of the Moon—

Within Aiwass, something indistinct departed, merging into the corpse.

In the next moment, blood surged, and the corpse melted—

Accompanied by crisp laughter, the mass of blood instantaneously transformed into a figure both deeply familiar and yet completely different.

She looked exactly like the youthful No. 14, except that the composed and joyful smile carried a drunken fervor.

"Pleased to meet you... my master..."

The pleasant voice emerged from before them, different entirely from the sound heard when one spoke.

Her eyes, as clear and radiant as rubies, shone brilliantly, with two "blood wings" twisting like spiraling tentacles behind her. Each seemed like intertwined blood-red vines, resembling translucent rubies. The total number of blood-red vines was eight.

Alester retracted the spiral wings into her body. She gazed at Aiwass with a complex, intense, and focused expression.

She knelt on one knee, extending both hands in a silent, offering gesture, as if yearning for something.

"Long time no see, Alester."

No exchange was needed for Aiwass to understand what she wanted.

Aiwass cut his palm, squeezing out the blood like a tightly held lemon... and let the blood drip into Alester’s palm.

Alester quietly licked Aiwass’s blood.

As she licked, dark red patterns began to appear on her bare white skin here and there.

"...What shall I call you?"

Aiwass gazed at Alester, softly saying, "My other half?"

"No," Alester, after drinking the blood, calmed the flushed appearance akin to drunkenness, "I am merely a servant sharing the same memories as you."

It was not betrayal.

But retreat.

Abandoning her past, she decided to accompany Aiwass in a new form.

Like two rotating stars, one turning into the other’s satellite.

"You and I now are much like Ahuan and you... but we are entirely different."

Alester spoke softly, standing up.

She wiped the blood from her hands onto both sides of Aiwass’s face, whispering: "Because we are connected by love..."

She cupped Aiwass’s face in her hands, gazing into Aiwass’s eyes. Her eyes were bright and dazzling.

It was a proud gaze, as if fixated on the burning sun.

"Please make a contract with me, let me accompany you. We will never become a new serpent and snake tail... because we will never part."

"Alright."

Aiwass did not hesitate for a moment.

There was no need for formality between oneself and oneself. He fully understood Alester, as Alester fully understood him.

Even though they headed entirely different directions, this understanding was like these two cards attached back to back—

"I am now... the Holy Blood Angel."

Aleister said proudly, word by word: "Aleister Crowley!"

"Aleister Crowley, at this moment I call your name... granting you the Mark of Lust."

Aiwass continued speaking, raising and displaying the card in his hand, solemnly proclaiming.

The next part was chanted by Aleister himself: "My life is your life..."

Aiwass continued chanting: "My destiny is your destiny——

"——Submit to me, Phantom Demon of the Path of Love!"

No flashbacks.

Nor did it enter into an illusion—the entire process was completed directly in the Material Realm!

Because their thoughts were synchronized from the very beginning.

A gigantic, horizontal black array instantly formed on the ground, enveloping Aleister and quickly ascending upward.

When it reached its highest point, a fox symbol appeared in the sky.

Dark red circular marks were imprinted around the fox symbol—then the array began to collapse from the outermost circle, leaving only a deep red ring with a diameter of about one meter.

Two brand new gigantic Tarot cards, also positioned one above and one below, slowly emerged from the void, floating above and below the ring. Deep red electric light linked the two cards in the middle like some sort of magnetic force attracting them to gradually come together.

Behind the Priestess, two intertwined snakes appeared, but overall the card remained composed of blue and gold.

[The World] was transformed into [The Universe]—the angel stepping before the ring gate had taken on an entirely different posture.

Symbolizing the "holy daughter" Eve at the center of the ring, the ring composed of countless paradoxes resembled a drop of water, yet also like a womb. The four corners symbolized the divine beasts of earth, fire, water, and wind, and around Eve’s body coiled a multicolored serpent, its head connected to the The Sun, and the The Sun in turn within a gigantic eye.

Finally, as the two cards gradually generated and became clear, they slowly moved toward the center.

At the moment when the two cards tightly combined, it suddenly erupted into light, condensing into a transparent pink card. It looked like a pink diamond, and on it was outlined a fox’s head in blood-like crimson.

Aiwass stretched out his hand and wrote his name.

Its attributes immediately revealed themselves.

...Duration?

Aiwass wasn’t very sure, so he took another look,

Is the duration unlimited for Upright Summon?

How powerful!

Aiwass was quite moved—does this mean he has the ability for "flat attack" now?!

Wait?

He suddenly saw a line below, instantly shocked:

"The follow form is... Aleister?!"

"Indeed."

Aleister’s voice, long-missed, echoed in Aiwass’s mind: "Thus, we can no longer be separated like the serpent and the snake tail. I am you, you are me... we will always be together.

"You are the snake tail of the Serpent Celestial Marshal, the key to opening his home door. I am also your key... the key to opening the future.

"Not all keys come without a cost, just as you will eventually become a Key of Predation, and by using me—"

Aleister dragged out her words. Aiwass awaited her words.

But ultimately, Aleister let out a silver bell-like light laugh:

"...no price is needed. Because I am you.

"——Because I love you (myself)."
