When the plot-skips players into the game world-Chapter 1251 - 531: Triple Punch Double Kill!

The true visage beneath the Fallen Celestial Marshal’s mask... is actually identical to that of Pope Aiwass?!

And it’s not just a simple resemblance; they both have the same number and shape of wings behind them!

Though one is black and the other white... what difference is there in completely opposite colors that are completely the same!

The shock of the people over this matter even surpassed the previous "Fallen Celestial Marshal’s strange attitude toward Aiwass"!

Not to mention, they weren’t the only ones witnessing this scene.

—Under the influence of the Fallen Celestial Marshal’s spell, countless people now gaze at the sky, seeing the face of the Fallen Celestial Marshal!

Even Aiwass himself was taken aback—

He had once seen Lucifer in the ruins. Though at the time, Lucifer’s appearance had blurred into a mass, and Lucifer himself had forgotten his own face...Aiwass clearly remembered that Lucifer’s features were entirely different from his own!

And if his appearance were like that of the Serpent Celestial Marshal, it wouldn’t make sense either. Aiwass had already seen the Serpent Celestial Marshal, and Ai Shiping’s features were completely different from his.

"...It must be the Shepherd."

Aiwass remembered.

During an ascension ceremony, he had met Lancelot under the identity of "Aiwass Moriarty," and at that time, Lancelot exclaimed "Aren’t you the Shepherd?" when Aiwass used the Nurturing Skill. This meant that the Shepherd had the same visage as Aiwass!

Aiwass’ current appearance belongs to the "snake tail," not the "snake"!

To maintain his humanity, the Serpent Celestial Marshal continually cut away his memories prior to crossing, creating one "transmigrator" and "protagonist" after another.

Among them were both males and females, humans as well as elves... In past cycles, these scenes repeatedly played out, and their appearances were identical because they all belonged to the "shadow" discarded by the Serpent Celestial Marshal!

Moreover, the current Serpent Celestial Marshal was once also a snake tail... meaning he too once shared Aiwass’ visage. After he devoured Ai Shiping and became the new Serpent Celestial Marshal, he continued reenacting the same narratives.

In this cycle, the Shepherd seemed to realize a certain truth.

To resist the Serpent Celestial Marshal, he resolutely used the Nurturing Skill to commit suicide, entrusting his "entirety" to the Fallen Celestial Marshal—thus preventing the Serpent Celestial Marshal from devouring him, preventing that part of "self" from returning to the Serpent Celestial Marshal’s body. This is also the main reason the Serpent Celestial Marshal seeks to initiate the Tail-Biting Ring Ceremony in this life... to complete himself, he must kill the Fallen Celestial Marshal in the Material Realm.

Only by dying in the Material Realm can he die completely, thereby completely extracting that part of "self" which had already merged with the Fallen Celestial Marshal!

—This face of the Fallen Celestial Marshal, identical to Aiwass’, is evidence of the Shepherd’s existence and defiance of fate!

The moment Aiwass realized this, he felt a genuine resemblance to the Fallen Celestial Marshal...

The Fallen Celestial Marshal had part of "Aiwass" mixed within the fallen Lucifer; similarly, Aiwass also had a part of "Lucifer" mingled within him!

Neither was complete, each needing to devour the other to become whole!

As the Fallen Celestial Marshal crushed the bull-headed mask, the bone armor on him gradually peeled away and shattered.

With a hushing sound, accompanied by the whistling of the wind, garments of the former King of the Winged Ones manifested on the Fallen Celestial Marshal!

He donned a heavy black cape, modeled after the cloak made from Nibiru’s hide behind the Winged Celestial Marshal. Underneath was a special linen garb, glossy like leather, even covering his hands and feet, substituting hard boots.

In the Second Sun Era, this black linen was a common material, only growing in soil laden with remains. While typically black, under sunlight, it reflected a blood-like scarlet... however, devoid of sunlight here, it appeared like a black bodysuit.

Freeing himself from his bindings, the Fallen Celestial Marshal couldn’t help but let out a long howl, stretching his body slowly in the air. The surging, purple-black aura of decay formed new stars, wave after wave, like a tsunami.

"Such a wonderful feeling—"

The Fallen Celestial Marshal’s emotions suddenly turned fervent: "Truly exhilarating!"

Though the armor could restrain the Fallen Celestial Marshal’s power, counter external damage... it also urged him to maintain rationality. Whenever the Fallen Celestial Marshal’s emotions neared loss of control, the living armor exerted a strong pressure to make him regain his senses quickly.

—Just like Aiwass, now sealed within the Curse Magic Orb.

By this spell, he sealed Aiwass, naturally including the experience of the suffering he endured!

The current Fallen Celestial Marshal, believing to have mastered the Power of Great Sin entirely, felt no need for restraint—thus, he howled skyward from where he stood, letting out a loud roar!

The many rings that wound around his hair disintegrated one by one, manifesting behind him, transforming into runes, then turning to fine dust which he reabsorbed. The ankle-length black hair of the Fallen Celestial Marshal reverted to long straight hair, making his linen cloak appear closer to the bearskin cloak of the Supreme Heaven.

The Fallen Celestial Marshal reverted to his strongest form completely.

Now he appeared even more identical to Aiwass.

And the arrogant, unruly confident smile made people involuntarily hallucinate—that indeed seemed like an expression Aiwass might wear.

"Why, not making the first move?"

The Fallen Celestial Marshal gazed down upon the living, standing in the sky like a god. Watching Saint John continuously enhance and bless his allies, watching them set up layers of rituals, arrays, protections... the Fallen Celestial Marshal felt only amusement.

A weakling’s game.

"—Then let me do it."

The Fallen Celestial Marshal raised his right hand, pulling back the purple sun strained by the Sky Rakshasa.

The sun turned into layers of firelight, quickly shrinking and flowing back into the Fallen Celestial Marshal’s extended right hand. With each portion of power reabsorbed, a layer of purple array blossomed around his right wrist; and each array was surrounded by another, until eight concentric rings appeared.

The coverage area of those eight rings was even larger than the Fallen Celestial Marshal himself!

He clenched his right fist.

The eight rings rapidly contracted, all merging into his fist.

At this time, Castening, holding the shield, had already approached the Fallen Celestial Marshal.

As the Fallen Celestial Marshal spread his wings, they became taut—

—The next moment, the Fallen Celestial Marshal vanished.

He suddenly appeared in front of Castening!

It was a speed too fast for the naked eye to catch—

A punch was thrown!

The Holy Shield in Castening’s left arm shattered and disintegrated instantly!

Raging flames poured directly into Castening’s body. Castening gritted his teeth hard, refusing to retreat even a step—his entire body erupted with purple cracks like a shattering porcelain, and the flames overflowed from his cracked back and continued to burst forth!

It was a tremendously beautiful and splendid, conical purple flame mist!

The pre-erected and solidified preservation arts barrier blocked this explosion.

On the unprotected sides, even the Earth was burned and evaporated by it!

After the punch, the Fallen Celestial Marshal’s wings flapped behind him, and his whole body retreated like lightning, evading the slash of the Candlestick Holy Sword swinging in Castening’s right hand.

As the Fallen Celestial Marshal’s wings in the sky became taut again—

The next moment, he once again instantly moved to Castening’s front.

—The second punch, directly shattered him!

This time the flame mist did not explode in a conical form but burst outwards in all directions centered on Castening—the Apostle of Candle Master was almost directly shattered by this punch!

This is why it is said "almost."

Because at the moment Castening was about to be shattered by the Fallen Celestial Marshal, Saint John immediately canceled the summoning of Castening.

His death was unavoidable—the curse fire from the "Death of the Sun" erupted from the already battered Castening and could instantly tear him into powder!

But if it is death in the Dream Realm, it’s just being dispersed in form and can soon be revived again!

Yet the purple flame on the Fallen Celestial Marshal’s fist hadn’t completely dissipated.

He still had a third punch!

As the Fallen Celestial Marshal’s wings stretched to their limit again, fully taut—

Sky Rakshasa had already picked up the long spear he had stuck into the ground when the fireball dissipated.

With extremely strong combat awareness, watching the Fallen Celestial Marshal’s attack twice, he roughly guessed how swift this strike would be.

So he swung his long spear in advance, attacking forward with full force!

—And his prediction was right on the mark!

The blade of the long spear collided head-on with the fragile fist—

The shockwave instantly tore apart the Earth.

But the one who got blown away was indeed the formidable Sky Rakshasa!

As Sky Rakshasa leaned back, he couldn’t help but stomp his foot through the ground. Then his whole body flew up, his body crashing onto the ground, creating one huge pit after another. It wasn’t just pure kinetic energy; this punch was accompanied by eight consecutive explosions within him, each twice as powerful as the last!

The eighth explosion had already critically injured Sky Rakshasa.

If not for his ability to endure fatal injuries without dying, just this strike could instantly kill him!

...Even the long spear in Sky Rakshasa’s hand was shattered by the Fallen Celestial Marshal’s punch!

It wasn’t the weapon bestowed by Candle Master, but one given by Supreme Heaven to a "Rakshasa." After he pledged allegiance to Candle Master, this weapon was also sanctified, and served as the proof of experiences in Sky Rakshasa’s life.

Now its blade was completely shattered, and the broken shaft was irreparable—the purple-black aura of corruption was still entwined upon it, continuously eroding it.

Seeing that Sky Rakshasa had already lost combat capability, Saint John could only return him, lest he be directly killed by the Fallen Celestial Marshal here.

"...Hmph, some strength."

This strike obviously wasn’t comfortable for the Fallen Celestial Marshal either.

He stood unsteadily, seemingly suffering some injuries to his right arm, with faint bend marks visible. The right hand that was burning with purple flames had finally completely extinguished.

"But still not enough—" freēnovelkiss.com

With just three punches, he had almost killed off two powerful envoys.

The fighting spirit in the Fallen Celestial Marshal’s eyes surged ever higher!
