Pastor's Tantra

Along with the prayers of Xue Tiansi, the quiet moonlight turned into thin needles and began to fall like rain.

At first it was sparse like drizzle, and then it roared like a rainstorm.

It descended upon the earth like a saturated barrage, shrouding the entire world in moonlight and bleaching it.

Even though the underground was too deep to see the light, it was instantly illuminated by the vertically falling moonlight, and became brighter and brighter at a speed visible to the naked eye, until the whole world turned into pure white, completely blocking all vision and making it impossible to see anything clearly.

The next moment, a black lotus suddenly blossomed from the pure white light.

Like a cracking acorn or a blooming bud...it blooms layer by layer and gradually expands.

——It was not darkness, but nothingness. It was a void where nothing existed. Even the all-pervading light could not fill it, and it was constantly dissolving the light around it.

The "dance skirt" whose body was on the verge of collapse appeared in the middle.

When Aiwas saw this scene, he immediately realized that the moonlight that Xue Tiansi prayed for was not meaningless.

This mass of nothingness, like the part that resides in the Swan King's head, is a part torn off by the "Whisper of the Void" and not the original body.

Just as water can extinguish a flame, but can be evaporated by a larger flame, the void can devour and neutralize everything, but this endless pure light can in turn neutralize it. Although it cannot directly purify it, it can also accelerate the self-disintegration of the void.

——When the mechanism is not absolute, the numbers are obviously meaningful!

Originally, even if the dance skirt had endured two rounds of "Hateful Slash" from the Blood Sky Master, it would only have broken into four pieces. They were still able to stick together roughly under the inexplicable suction force. But now, she only had two pieces left.

Only the part above the chest and the right arm were left. The rest had been completely swallowed by the void and disappeared completely. The only two remaining parts were already covered with black spots... It was like the poisonous sores that gradually spread when the skin was allergic, except that it was not scarlet, but pure black.

Her eyes had completely blurred, turning into two black holes. Her mouth was also cracked, full of cracks. And her right arm was also half blurred - where the palm should have been, it had now turned into a blurry black mass.

If she continued to be bombarded by the moonlight, she would completely lose her carrier and turn into a pure void crystal core in less than half a minute.

This is the decision of Xue Tiansi.

Although the Son of the Moon created by the Blood Sky Lord failed to complete the perfect human ceremony that Cain's mother Hengwo originally expected.

However, these evil Moon Children coincidentally met another condition:

Just like Cain, who lacked love, was a failed "perfect man" but could effectively resist the erosion of the void. Fate showed Xue Tiansi another way.

The sinful blood left by Cain flows on the earth. Those homeless and countryless blood-sucking monsters have committed countless blood debts and are hated by all people. Even if hundreds or thousands of years have passed, people in the future will never forget the sins committed by the children of the moon.

Hate is deeper than love and less easily worn away by time.

——Because humans can only truly love a few people, but can hate all life in the world. Even if history is passed down from generation to generation, races change, and cultures overlap, that strange hatred can still be engraved in the heart after the precipitation of time, just like an anchor that keeps the ship from sinking in a storm.

Now, precisely because of this sinful engraving, even the power of nothingness cannot wipe out the Blood Sky Master from the world!

The fragment of nothingness that resided in the body of the dance skirt was also obviously aware of this.

She decisively switched her target.

——The remaining time for Nothingness to appear is running out.

That is the "black light".

Light naturally cannot be black - but it is a darkness that engulfs everything and is constrained into a line. Any matter it passes through is directly melted and cut off. It is like an extremely sharp and scorching laser, shredding the moonlight falling between heaven and earth!

The abundant moonlight suddenly broke off like a cut-off waterfall.

Just like the lens of a pair of glasses was covered by white fog, and a cotton swab gradually outlined a trace that could be seen clearly... The light that obscured the vision was swallowed up by nothingness. And along with it, everything that the "black line" touched was also swallowed up.

"Dance Skirt" used this attack to grab Aiwas from a distance.

Just ten thin lines intersecting would be enough to turn Aiwas into nothingness.

“——Don Quixote!!”

At this moment, Aiwass's firm voice fell.

He didn't try to dodge.

Because hiding is useless.

As the final blow of the "Dancing Skirt", she did not leave Aiwass any room to dodge. The attacks coming from all directions drew an extremely mysterious trajectory, locking Aiwass's future like fate. It was like a rope tightened around the neck, with no gaps at all.

But the brilliant and glorious pure white knight took a step forward.

Standing in front of Aiwas.

"My Lord!"

An extremely fanatical voice sounded from under the knight's helmet: "Even if I have nothing left——"

He did not raise the holy sword to defend himself or transform it into a holy shield.

Instead, he raised the holy sword without stopping.

——Cut off his own head.

As the helmet fell to the ground with a clang, an extremely brilliant light gushed out like a fountain of blood.

The glow that seeped out from his head gushed out to the left, right, and upwards at the same time, forming an enormous inverted cross between heaven and earth.

However, rather than an inverted cross, it was more like an upright giant sword of light.

It was a lightsaber that looked like a shield, just like the holy sword he held in his hand!

The next moment, the lightsaber spread out to the left and right at the same time, and the colorful rainbow light turned into two huge light shields. Then, countless rays of light formed sharp crystal feathers, which further combined into two wing-like armors on the light shields.

The wings were not soft, but rather like countless stabbing lightsabers. But it seemed extremely reassuring and full of security.

"That is..."

Isabel's eyes widened.

Such a beautiful and dazzling brilliance.

That light is the brilliant will and the condensed hope.

The light of hope is also a force that can fight against nothingness.

Even if everything is hopeless now, even if the future is destined to be destroyed and fall into meaningless nothingness... but as long as that future has not arrived, there is always the possibility of change!

Even if that possibility is extremely small... it is like a tiny flame of hope lit in the darkest night, which disappears in an instant.

But the existence of the flame means resistance to the darkness——

This means that not only lives that are completely integrated into darkness are qualified to survive!

It means that people still crave light, even though they know the sun will never rise again.

As in ancient times, people walked in the dark night without the sun and lit the sacred and precious flame.

——That tiny fire can't change anything.

The flame will eventually go out. When it burns out, the sky will once again fall into pure darkness.

It can't keep people alive, nor can it bring the sun back to life.

Darkness is eternal, and the light that exists for a moment is only a temporary illusion.

But lighting the flame itself is the meaning.

Even if you have nothing——

"Don Quixote is the embodiment of my will. Just like the first card of the Tarot deck, 'The Fool'..."

The same voice that Aiwass had spoken earlier echoed in Isabel's mind: "Even if it's a cliff, I will step forward."

The next moment, the nothingness and the light shield collided violently.
