191. Chapter 188: Because I Don’t Want To

Chapter 188: Because I don’t want to

That’s not even the current 1.0 plot anymore!

The name of the 3.0 sourcebook was called [Shadows of Avalon], and this was the version in which the Ring of Articulation Ritual first appeared.

The descent of the Fallen Division takes place outside of the main storyline. To be more precise, this is the story that takes place inside the trailer for version 3.0. However, the Shadow Sky Division of Avalon descended only after the mainline boss of version 3.0 – that is, the Fallen Sky Division that descended to Star Antimony – was defeated.

The “someone” who was a puppet of Star Antimony, but is now independent and has summoned the Shadow Division, is Isabelle (the doll).

–This is the core of the conspiracy of the Star Antimony Kingdom, and the reason why they dare to attack Avalon directly.

With the crystallization of the most advanced technology – using the techniques of magical iconography, alchemy, ritualism and necromancy – they created a replica of Princess Isabelle, loyal to Star Antimony as a human doll. It even had an independent consciousness and was able to act on its own without receiving orders.

Aside from the joints hidden underneath her clothes, she looks exactly like Isabel from the outside.

Of course, the difference between her and Isabelle’s personalities was very large. And because of her low intelligence in autonomous action mode, as long as the ministers had no problem with their brains, it was easy to see that she was just a doll.

–But having a doll as a front was enough.

On the surface, it was still the royal bloodline that controlled Avalon — even if she wasn’t of the path of authority, that was better than nothing. The ministers who had betrayed Avalon and defected to Star Antimony would not be blamed. Nor would the hatred of the Avalonians be focused entirely on the Star Antimony people.

People would only think that Avalon had lost one battle and therefore signed a contract to sell out their interests. Yet it would not occur to them that their new queen was merely a puppet of the Star Antimony people.

It was because Isabelle made a name for herself in version 3.0 by defeating the Fallen Divisions with the support and help of the Church Kingdom. It was only then that people began to wonder – if it was Isabel who defeated the Fallen Heaven Division, then who was their queen?

It wasn’t until the 3.2 storyline that the dolls were forced to start learning about Isabel’s past when they lost the control of the Star Antimony Man. Eventually, the doll gradually awakens to her own heart – or rather, she gradually loses control. She literally grows to believe that she is Isabel.

The middle of the episode Ivars forgot. But anyway, in version 3.4, Ms. Doll, the Puppet Queen learns of the existence of the “Shadow of Avalon”, and ultimately chooses to sacrifice her brother John as Isabel, in an attempt to summon the ancestor Lancelot I to protect Avalon.

However, the summoning failed.

The summoning was bound to fail.

Because the ritual that Merlin had set up before he became an apostle back then had long since been modified by Lancelot’s adoptive mother and Merlin’s ex-girlfriend, Vivian, the Lake Nymph of the Way of Love.

After accomplishing her great feat as a mother, Vivian had also successfully become an apostle.

But instead of being an apostle of Heng Me, she became an apostle of Shadow Sky Division.

According to the rules of the Way of Love Path, all people between the upper and lower levels are loved. So she could be counted as Shadow Tian Si’s daughter or lover, and then Lancelot would be Shadow Tian Si’s grandson – which was also the reason why he would be traveling to the Kingdom of Shadows for training and not become an Apostle of the Silver-Crowned Dragon.

Vivian’s original purpose was probably to try to stop Lancelot’s rebirth.

Because everyone knew that if Lancelot died again after his rebirth, he would leave the Kingdom of Shadows forever and become the Silver-crowned Dragon’s Apostle. But as long as he fails to be revived, he will remain here forever as a warrior of the Kingdom of Shadows.

Despite Lancelot’s bad attitude towards her, Vivian still loves him unilaterally.

As a foster mother, and as a mentor, but also as a lover.

Transcendents on the path of love always have a hard time controlling their desires. And will mix all kinds of different desires together and misidentify them.

And the reason why Lancelot treated her badly as an adult was simple – because Vivian did not raise Lancelot as an orphan, but fell in love with Lancelot after seeing him as a baby, and then stole him in swaddling clothes directly from his parents.

But perhaps because of the Ring of Heaven, perhaps because of simple coincidence, or perhaps the “Ring of Tail” ceremony was inspired by this ceremony …… In any case, after being altered by Vivian, this ceremony happened to become the “Ring of Tail”. “Ring of Tail”.

At the time she changed this ceremony, the Ring of Heaven had not yet taught this ceremony to humans.

Lancelot’s body, which was still alive, became a “living sacrifice” for the ritual of the Ring of Tail. His close kinship with the Shadow Division became the foundation of the ritual.

What served as the kindling for the ceremony was the ignorant and pure desire in the puppet queen’s heart.

To live as a human being, as “Isabelle du Lac”…

As a result, the ritual absorbed John’s blood, the Golem Queen’s heart, and Lancelot’s body, and turned into the top-quality “Ring of the Tail” ritual, directly dragging down Kagemusha.

–One thing’s for sure, Kagemusha must have been at a loss.

Because there is no way that any Tenshi would want to be dragged down by the Ring of Tail – even if they can be reborn in the Dream Realm after being killed, if they die in the Material Realm, the reborn Tenshi will no longer be Tenshi.

Phantom Demons are reborn after death, but their “equipment” will fall off. Ordinary Phantom Demons don’t have much equipment, but Tenshi have the power of ……, which is their Tenshi Fragment.

If you die in the dream world, as long as the person who kills you is not a peer who can absorb your own shard, you can be revived in full condition. But if you die in the material world, it’s like this part of the fragment falls directly into the void.

It is the disintegration of this portion of authority, the re-vacancy of the occupied nodes of power, that will allow the transcendent of this path to break through the limits and go further. It was only after Shadow Tenshi had died once in the Material Realm that the Rare Shadow Power was finally unlocked.

Now without the Golem Queen, Ivars couldn’t say if Shadow Tenshi would succeed in his descent.

But he was certain that Vivian had definitely changed the ritual. In other words, it couldn’t be Lancelot who descended anyway. Perhaps the one who descended would be Vivian, or it could still be Shadow Sky Division, and best of all, it could be his former brothers, the other knights who had become the apostles of the Silver-crowned Dragon, but the only thing that couldn’t be was Lancelot.

But another trouble came.

That was the fact that Ivas could not stop the Queen from performing the ritual.

–Now that twenty of the royal family have died, the ceremony is only one more to go. And then you, an outsider who has never heard of this ritual before, suddenly jumps in and says, “There’s something wrong with this ritual, stop it now”?
Don’t even think about it, he won’t be able to talk you out of it.

Even if she knew there was a problem, the old lady would still try.

Because without Lancelot’s shelter, it would be difficult for Avalon to get through the pain period – and it was true, without Lancelot’s Avalon was directly pushed away by Star Antimony’s F2A wave.

However, the world level is just too low today. There are very few people who can even touch the upper limit.

Wanting to change all of this, it was still necessary to wait for the big event of version 2.0 …… At that time, the upgrade speed would only increase abruptly.

Now if they really pulled out the Shadow Sky Division, that would be the end of it – at this time now, the world couldn’t put together a sixth energy level squad, and those demonic incarnations of the Rosicrucian Junction were all stuck at the fifth energy level, the level cap.

Less than the sixth energy level, how can it beat the descending Tianji …… priority level is not enough to even break the defense.

That would be Avalon pulling the whole world along with the burial.

…… Then, how about thinking back. Is it possible to fix this ritual?

It’s not impossible.

If Merlin was summoned out and told him that there was a place in his ritual that had been changed by Vivian …… could he find a way to change it back again?
— It’s like a one-time program that was written when you left your job over four hundred years ago, and you didn’t write comments because it was one-time. Now that program is ready to run and there’s a bug. hopefully now he’ll come back to the office and fix it.

…… Ivars thought about it and felt as if there wasn’t much hope.

The best possibility was still to just destroy the ritual. That wouldn’t be hard, after all, the ritual was rooted in Lancelot’s body.

Although Aiwas couldn’t understand this kind of Apostle level complex ritual ……, if the root of the problem was to be solved, it would be fine as long as Lancelot was killed. Lancelot’s body was the root of the ritual, and once he died the ritual automatically shut down.

After all, it’s just a shell without a soul. It was the equivalent of a sixth energy level powerhouse falling into a slumber that couldn’t be awakened, so it was still very simple to kill it.

But then, there would be no turning back. He would have to additionally prepare other means to fight Star Antimony.

However Her Majesty basically didn’t think in that direction.

After all, this was not a plan laid out by Avalon, but a flexible countermeasure against Star Antimony’s plot with Iris. To be able to think of a countermeasure while being completely passive, surrounded by enemies on all sides, and suffering from both internal and external problems was already remarkable. And now it’s less than a year away and Iris is demanding that it all be pushed back and redone if ……

Gee, a bit of a toothache.

Aiwas suddenly felt as if knowing too much wasn’t a good thing.

The result was that no matter how much he moved it seemed to lead to unforeseen circumstances.

…… By all rights, just let the story go straight ahead. Just let Avalon perish, they go on the run, and eventually the problem should be solved …… Just let Avalon break down and be reborn in flames.

But could he do that?
Aiwas vetoed it without thinking.

There was no complex reason for it.

–Because I don’t want to.

Chapter 2 cha a dinner back to write!
