Chapter 905: Chapter 275: Seal the Sea Monster!
Legends say, if a Fifth Power Level Son of the Moon becomes the Fifth Power Level Demon Incarnation, he shall ascend to the Sixth Power Level and become the Highest Supreme Perfect Human!
Another legend goes… the Holy Blood of the Eternal Saintess might also elevate the Son of the Moon to the Sixth Power Level.
…Of course, Professor Laximi doesn’t really believe in either statement.
The former always seems paradoxical to him—the “Demon Incarnation” that one becomes upon transcending to the Fourth Level inherently means nurturing a new Demon within oneself; similarly, the Son of the Moon is also a new life nurtured from a past soul.
So, if using the Son of the Moon to nurture a Demon Incarnation… setting aside whether it can be nurtured, even if it does come to fruition, would the ultimate “Perfect Human” no longer be the former Son of the Moon or Demon Scholar?
...
The latter makes him feel incredulous. Compared to the power of the Sixth Power Level, the prerequisite “Holy Blood of the Eternal Saintess” seems far too simple. He does not believe mere possession of the saintess’s blood can create a Perfect Human.
But now…
Professor Laximi’s vast knowledge immediately conjures a complete narrative and logic:
—As is well known, Baroness Beyard has been missing for hundreds of years. Only recently did she reappear, appearing for the first time in Avalon and forming a close bond with Aiwass. At the same time, she developed a strong enmity towards Noble Red, even teaching Aiwass how to use the power of the Flame Butterfly or lending him her own Flame Butterfly Familiar to repel several attacks.
And now, Aiwass has become the only human Pope in history, and the only male Eternal Pope in nearly two thousand years.
…If the Holy Blood of the Eternal Saintess possesses some sort of holiness,
Then the blood of the Eternal Pope… or even other bodily fluids, let alone the fetus flowing with his blood, would not be even more holy?
If all of this is Baroness Beyard’s conspiracy, then she now controls the Holy Blood, the Power of Transcendence, and has reached the limits of the Son of the Moon…
She is just one step away from becoming a Perfect Human!
Then why is she heading to Star Antimony now?
In just a moment of thought, Professor Laximi arrives at an answer:
—Ring of Ouroboros Ritual!
It is an ancient ceremony deciphered by the Rose Cross Society from the ancient “Ouroboros Continuity” tablets. By sacrificing a Fifth Power Level Transcendent as a vessel, it allows a Celestial Marshal of the same path to descend upon him. The ritual can extract the other’s power, distributing it among all participating Transcendents.
Since it is power from the Dream Realm, it is also considered as “power obtained from a promotion ceremony.”
In this way, there is no need to partake in the perilously close-to-death promotion ceremonies…and secure a successful ascension opportunity!
Although Professor Laximi is only of the Fourth Level, his friend Blood Coral had told him about the Sixth Power Level promotion ceremonies.
Because that involves contacting the Highest Supreme barrier of this world, the Hourglass is extremely cautious. It will be a fair ceremony personally overseen by the Pillar God, where everyone’s power is completely balanced, with no distinction between strength and weakness.
In this ceremony, any damage sustained is reflected onto the physical bodies in the Material Realm. Even surviving it, let alone eliminating all other participants, doesn’t necessarily mean the completion of the promotion ceremony—because the quests of the ceremony “must be completed,” and according to the Red Chancellor, the difficulty is extremely high. Surviving alone would take all one’s strength.
However, this is information from a very long time ago.
Because in recent decades, there simply haven’t been enough fifth-level participants to form a promotion ceremony.
Thus, it can be considered that the path to Sixth Power Level through promotion ceremonies has been collectively blocked by the Fifth Power Level Transcendents.
—When everyone’s power is balanced, the number of participants is the greatest power.
That is to say, forming alliances becomes the easiest and most cost-effective way to win.
Since everyone in the Material Realm basically knows each other… forming alliances outside the arena becomes inevitable.
Under these circumstances, considering that any Fifth Power Level Transcendent must inevitably be a leader of their factions. Given their complex real-life stances, it’s basically impossible for the vast majority to agree on allowing anyone to ascend to the Sixth Power Level.
Plus, even the full moon ceremony will inevitably eliminate three participants… that is, as long as the ceremony proceeds, it is bound to burn the lives of three participants as the key to initiation.
This is like two mind-reading individuals playing a rock-paper-scissors game.
The final result can only be each keeping their gesture unchanged, rapidly strategizing in their minds without anyone willing to make the first move.
It’s like an exam decided by the students themselves on when to start, each battling on their own, survival of the fittest. Whoever actively convenes the ceremony is almost certainly destined to be targeted—because others will think he is the best prepared and must be eliminated first as the most likely to succeed in ascension.
Baroness Beyard, having disappeared for so many years, only appeared after the “Ouroboros Continuity” was unearthed, and has already mastered the power of the Transcendence Path, even subduing such a powerful Phantom Demon… The promotion ritual for ascending from fifth to sixth power level has been missing for decades; even though Transcenders can bring Contractors into the promotion ceremony… she has never participated in any such ceremony.
She must know something!
Professor Laximi hesitates for a moment.

Because he does not know whether he should share the news of “Baroness Beyard’s arrival” with the organization.
As far as he knows, many Sons of the Moon in the organization are seeking Baroness Beyard. These Sons of the Moon are Transcenders all aiming for the goal of becoming Perfect Humans, just that any of their progress is slower than Lady Emma.
Given their statuses, it’s very likely that the Red Chancellor is the one truly seeking Baroness Beyard.
Red Chancellor and Baroness Beyard were contemporaries, they might have known each other. They could have been enemies, rivals, or perhaps not known each other at all… But, given that they haven’t been in contact for so many years, Professor Laximi at least thought they weren’t likely to be good friends.
The Red Chancellor seemed to seek cooperation with the other party, who was also seeking the continuation of the Ouroboros.
At least they could cooperate…
Thinking this, the scales in Professor Laximi’s mind had already tipped towards the Red Chancellor.
“——Of course.”
As if reading minds.
Miss Aleister suddenly looked over, inexplicably speaking to herself.
A jolt went through Professor Laximi, who stared at Miss Aleister with astonishment: “What did you say…?”
“Go do what you want to do.”
But Miss Aleister just smiled, not spelling it out.
Then, she pulled out a Tarot card: “Do you know what this is?”
——It was “Temperance.”
Professor Laximi recognized it.
But Miss Aleister simply smiled and negated that answer.
“It’s a cage.”
She thus responded.
The next moment, Miss Aleister casually tossed out the Tarot card.
An incredibly shocking scene unfolded.
——Suddenly, a vortex rose out of the void, sucking in the bisected yet not fully dead Sea Monster!
Sealing… a Sea Monster?!
Professor Laximi’s eyes widened.
How is this possible!
Sea Monsters are supposed to be unsealable—
Their bodies should remain here, then contaminate a vast area of the sea… But they had been completely absorbed by Miss Aleister’s transcendent art!
“Listen carefully, Professor Laximi.”
Miss Aleister spoke in a deep, ethereal voice: “You are with the Rose Cross Society, right?”
This statement finally punctured any last hope in Professor Laximi.
He stared incredulously at Miss Aleister, listening as her voice swept past his ear, sending shivers down his spine: “Tell that guy, the Red Chancellor, one thing…
“——Tell him I will come to find him, but not now.”
As she spoke, the Tarot card flew back by itself.
Professor Laximi caught a glimpse of the card’s face changing, but Miss Aleister didn’t let him look further—he also didn’t dare to look.
He simply bowed respectfully, quietly asking: “May I mention… that you saved us here?”
Her implication being, can I report your information upwards?
Miss Aleister, upon hearing this, seemed somewhat surprised and raised her eyebrows.
“Go ahead, say it all!”
She suddenly burst into a laughing smile: “You can tell anyone!”
It was an extremely beautiful and bewitchingly charming mad smile—
“Tell them all. Tell them I saved you.
“Tell them—I have arrived!
“——Beyard is back!”
