186. Chapter 183 Anchor Point for Changing the Future

Chapter 183 Anchor Point That Changes the Future

The Metamorphosis Ascension Warlocks belonged to the Celestial Division Legacy just like the Great Sin Scholars.

The fallen Tenshi had brought new powers to the people, and following those powers to further development, they discovered professions that already existed in this world, but were hidden because no one had discovered them.

“If you want to transfer to a Molting Warlock, you have to learn ‘Molting’.”

“Molt?”

David was a bit hesitant when he heard this scary word, “Does it mean peeling off one’s skin and growing it back?”

“…… Not really.”

Ivars couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “That’s the ‘molting ceremony’, just as a worm transforms into a cocoon and metamorphoses into a butterfly. Throwing away one’s old body and gaining a more beautiful one.

“This is the power possessed by the Butterfly Heavenly Division of the Way of Beauty Path …… He is able to illuminate ugly things and make them remake their shells. There is a ritual that borrows the power of the Butterfly Heavenly Division that allows one to replace one’s appearance.”

In the words of the players, it is “face washing” – that is to say, re-completing the face.

No matter what race, gender, age, body shape, or appearance …… can be changed, with the exception of the “origin” that was chosen when the character was created.

This is one of the most common rituals that players are exposed to.

David eagerly asked, “So, should I perform the molting ceremony?”

“No,” Ivars denied, “You should exercise.

“Molting Warlock sounds like a profession like ‘Mage’, ‘Lawgiver’, ‘Demon Scholar’, or something like that, but it’s actually a close combat type of profession.”

“…… Huh? Why?”

David was a little confused, “Isn’t it ‘Warlock’?”

“Because the Metamorphosis Warlock signed a contract with the Ring of Heaven Division, so it’s accurately called a ‘Contract Warlock’.”

Aywas explained.

“Ring of Heaven” was the code name of the son of the Serpent Father [Snake with Tail], and the source of the ritual power of the “Ring of Tail”.

In the background of the game, this profession was born after the fall of the Butterfly Heavenly King, and the Ring Heavenly King hoped to obtain a part of the Butterfly Heavenly King’s fragments, and made a deal with the human who had obtained the fragments.

He signed a pact with him and taught him how to shed his skin like a snake.

The person who received the fragment became the first “moult practitioner”.

Originally a transcendent of the Twilight Path, he decisively threw away his original body and drilled into the shell of the Butterfly Heavenly Division after its descent, and then used this shell to undergo a molt. In one direct step, he became an Ascended Illusionary Demon, and later became an Apostle of the Ringed Heaven Division-what people call an Ascended God.

“Molting Ascension Warlocks would constantly perform ‘molting rituals’ to gradually bring their bodies closer to their perfect forms. But this ‘molting and ascending’ is not about finding a place where no one is around to molt and play …… by themselves, but about fighting against strong enemies.

“Just as a thinking brain gradually becomes smarter, and a broken muscle becomes stronger when it heals again – as long as a Metamorphosis Warlock suffers a wound in a fierce battle, they become stronger; and if they suffer a heavy wound, they change even more; and if they die in the battle, then they eventually break into a butterfly and gain a new body.

“Overall, evolution is uncontrollable. For if one truly arrives at the realm one has long dreamed of, it is no longer transcendence, but perfection – it is the realm of twilight. The evolution of a Metamorphosis Warlock never stops, for they are always changing …… Typically, they become, at least in part, as if they were defeating their own enemies. By this means, it is possible to steal a portion of the opponent’s natural abilities.

“So there is a danger that a Metamorphosis Warlock may lose his human body …… such as growing four arms, or three eyes. It’s also possible to turn into a four or five meter tall giant, or into a child with a dwarf. But in general, each evolution must be a little stronger than before in terms of the sum of its abilities.”

“…… sounds a little scary.”

David scowled a little, “It’s not human at all is it ……”

But Ivars shook his head, “It’s already the gentlest and safest occupation on the way beyond the path.”

Demons transcend their own demonically controlled minds and destinies, spellcasters use powerful rituals and cursing abilities to transcend their own fragile physical bodies wracked with disease and curses.

The Demon Incarnate transcends the limitations of a human’s lifespan and material body; the Scholar of Great Sins transcends the bite-sized suppression of mortal beings by superior phantasmagoria.

The transcendence of a metamorphosis practitioner is only the “past self”. There are no other wills to manipulate the spirit, no curses to poison the flesh. There are no other wills to manipulate the spirit, no curses to poison the physical body, no damage to the soul from the taboos of heavenly sins, and no need to bear the brand of great sins. Apart from the contract with the Ring of Heaven that “will not stop molting”, there is no influence of any external will.

In other words, as long as you don’t stop your evolution, you will never lose control.

–The Old Bugs can say that. “Just work on your body. If you reach the fourth energy level with your soul still intact, I’ll teach you how to become a Metamorphosis Ascension Warlock.”

Aiwas made up his mind and intended to start helping people open up.

Although Die Tianji had not yet fallen now, the metamorphosis ceremony could still be completed.

It was only that each metamorphosis required praying for power to both Butterfly Heavenly Division and Ring Heavenly Division at the same time, instead of being fully automated after signing a contract once.

So Aiwas wasn’t worried about the matter of what to do if David upgraded too quickly and the Butterfly Heavenly Division wasn’t dead yet.

Just as the Fallen Heaven Division hadn’t been pulled down either, so could Ivars make Great Sin cards – it was just that the buffet turned into a report every time. Just because these professions were discovered by people after the buffet became a buffet doesn’t mean they couldn’t be reached before.

It was also because of David that Ivars figured something out.

He didn’t need to hide much of what he knew about the future at all.

If he couldn’t explain where he got this knowledge before,……, then now with “Aleister”, he could say whatever he wanted. It could be argued that the rest of his friends had told him this.

If you don’t believe me, you can confront Aleister face to face.

–She’ll say, “Yes, that’s right.”

Then all those other secrets that Ivars knows that transcend version perception can actually be tried.

For example, helping Sherlock get a little better progression profession …… simple mage is too weak.

For example, persuade old Mrs. Meg …… to get a part time job.

Ivars remembers that Meg s death was because she was nearing the end of her life and trying to prolong her life through promotion. It turned out that somehow the news leaked out and she was killed directly in the Actor’s Bureau. This was one of the anchor points that led to Avalon’s demise.

Generally speaking, the easiest way to extend your life is to moonlight on the Twilight Path.

As long as you step into the Twilight Path you will directly increase your lifespan, and you don’t even have to care about any path characteristics.

But Meg had a natural aversion to the Dusk Path, so she had ruled out this possibility from the very beginning.

…… But in retrospect, the profession of “Metamorphosis Warlock” might be more suitable for her.

The premise of the metamorphosis ceremony could not be suicide, nor could it be a deliberate attempt to die. One must die by challenging a strong enemy – and the metamorphosis ceremony cannot be interrupted after death, or else one would really die. From this perspective, dying together was the safest. And because the current metamorphosis ritual is not fully automatic and has to be booked in advance before each use, it can’t take effect in the event of an unexpected situation ……

However, dying at the end of one’s lifespan was predictable and at the same time in line with the criteria.

This is, of course, a “challenge to a powerful enemy” – and time is one of the most powerful enemies.

According to the principles of the Metamorphosis Ceremony, when Meg dies of old age and is resurrected again, she can return to her youthful state and gain the ability to resist aging. Even if she doesn’t continue to ascend, but just hangs on to a second-level Metamorphosis Warlock, she can still live for a few more decades.

If Meg hadn’t died, Avalon probably wouldn’t have been invaded by Star Antimony …… or, even if it had been invaded, at least it wouldn’t have lost so badly.

Even with her protection, Her Majesty might have survived and not been assassinated.

–From this perspective, helping Meg to prolong her life might be a more effective delaying tactic than purging internal spies.

Stopping her from advancing was basically impossible, that old lady was just too stubborn, she would never die of old age in bed. But if it was to get her to go beyond the Dao Way, maybe she would agree – she and Hajna had quite similar personalities. Since Hajna had the adaptability to go beyond the Dao, maybe she did too.

That was a good thought.

Ivas thought to himself.

And on the other side.

Lars Graham, the sculptor, looked at Ivars in the newspaper and fell into deep thought.

“…… Aleister, could it be Croai?”

Croai defected?
