Chapter 950: Chapter 315: The Brand of Jealousy and Greed

Aiwass took quite a while before his somewhat boiling brain finally calmed down.

He held his feverishly hot cheeks, feeling the restless blood of the Son of the Moon inside him gradually settle down, and then he realized his loss of control.

Normally, the body temperature of a Son of the Moon wouldn’t be this high. Their temperature should be lower than that of ordinary people.

—This was a true sign of losing control.

What was originally just an illusory image of the “Son of the Moon” has now become an actual race. That is to say, Aleister was inexplicably elevated to a high-level Path of Love. This belongs to the body’s instincts, not the traits of the soul, thus it is somewhat difficult to restrain.

Previously, Aleister’s Son of the Moon traits had not been activated, so it wasn’t very obvious.

But now, when Aleister touched the corpse of Sister Sasha, this trait was finally fully activated—

This also means that Aleister has now officially become a Transcendent who cultivates both the Transcendence Path and the Path of Love.

Different from Aiwass as the main body…Because Aleister also still has some remnants of the Path of Devotion.

One of the characteristics of the Path of Love is “for oneself”; the Path of Devotion, on the other hand, is “for others”. Normally, the traits of these two paths would generally conflict… But in Aleister, they formed a very perfect fit.

Because for Aleister, Aiwass is both “himself” and “someone else”. Aiwass’s strong desire for Devotion leads him to want to sacrifice himself to let Aleister survive… Aleister’s desire for Transcendence makes her want to rebel against this expectation and future—ultimately leading her to want to sacrifice herself for Aiwass.

It wasn’t a sacrifice of the “fusion” kind. Because the selfish trait of the Path of Love was embodied in Aleister, making her not want to be forgotten by Aiwass… Even if it’s just a possibility, even if Aiwass wouldn’t so easily forget her existence.

…Aleister was somewhat dissatisfied, she wanted to pursue a more enduring existence.

For others and for herself, wanting existence yet wanting sacrifice, wanting to sacrifice yet wanting to accompany…

…Loving “herself” while also loving “another self”.

When such thoughts surfaced in Aleister’s mind, the aura of the greed mark also flashed pass from Aleister’s body briefly.

The overlap of the three paths inevitably caused abnormalities in Aleister’s spirit.

But fortunately, the overlap was relatively perfect, so Aleister did not show any obvious signs of losing control.

“Never mind, don’t think about it…”

Aleister patted her cheeks, attempting to suppress these wild thoughts, yet the ideas persisted.

This made Aleister involuntarily start thinking about how this plan could be achieved.

To merge back again, she needed her own body… at least a basically intact corpse. The soul and body of the Son of the Moon are intricately fixed together. But after all, fusion is the primary goal, she can’t let her fusion with Aiwass be flawed due to soul damage…

…Is there any way to retain a part of her consciousness and body after the fusion? If just a small part of the “self” can be preserved, she could be “resurrected” by collecting all of Sister Sasha’s Set.

Given Aiwass’s character, he would most likely accept this future—because it means that “Aleister” can continue to exist, even if it means merging with Sister Sasha and existing in the incomplete form of the Great Sin Beast…

“…No, that’s not right.”

Aleister suddenly realized—

This method seems to exist!

[Soul of Dissolution (Golden): Your soul transforms into a higher form, “medium” size blessings no longer require rituals; you will be immune to sleep, charm, curse, instant-death spells, and your soul can act as a consumable to be actively extracted from the body]

This is a Path characteristic Aiwass obtained from a previous promotion ceremony.

However, there actually is a problem here… Soul of Dissolution only works for Aiwass. It isn’t because of being split, but because the Son of the Moon’s soul has already dried up into some kind of powder. Although her soul still possesses a certain sanctity, it’s like it turned into instant coffee… It might need the powder formed from Aleister’s death to be dissolved in water before it can become the Soul of Dissolution.

But…

There’s another place that retains a part of Aiwass’s soul!

—Right on Isabel!

Isabel carries a third of Aiwass’s original soul that was cut away.

This was an emergency treatment method Aiwass left her to prevent her from suffering severe injuries.

If she hasn’t used that bottle of soul yet, then the soul in this bottle could also serve as a supplement for Aleister—she could completely cut off a part of herself and combine it with the complete Sasha Set to complete the ceremony! And the remaining part of the soul, with the supplement of the bottled soul, could also prevent the cutting ceremony from being unable to heal…

Aleister subconsciously analyzed this.

But she soon couldn’t help but give a bitter laugh.

“…How ironic.”

The last ones cut by the Hourglass were Great Sage and Supreme Heaven. At that time, Great Sage seemed to have cut too cleanly, so much so that they could never be rejoined. And now, a part of Supreme Heaven has finally returned to Great Sage’s hands…

It seems the Hourglass has learned its lesson, cutting this time like the Tai Chi Diagram, leaving a part of the other inside the body. It prevented them from never being able to reunite…

The result is, both sides are scrambling to merge again.

If Isabel is the “complementing partner of Aiwass’s soul,” then Aleister represents the other half of the soul that complements the now-Pope, the holy Aiwass. Perhaps her reluctance to leave also relates to this kind of “love.”

Aleister vaguely remembered a psychological term from a previous life, it seemed to be called anima and animus. Anima is the image of a woman that every man carries within, the female aspect of a man’s psyche; animus, conversely, is the opposite. They have an instinctive attraction to each other…

Thus, the currently fragmented souls of Aiwass and Aleister are both incomplete. Compared to Isabel, they might be able to attract each other even more…

“…Looks like I need to gather the Sasha Set.”

Aleister made up her mind and her will solidified.

The Night Fiend beside her slightly narrowed its eyes.

For some reason, she suddenly had a strange feeling—she actually felt a faint jealousy towards her master.

It was as if the master was going to take away her master from her own hands… Could such a possibility really exist?

Aleister collected the “Offering up the Eye of Mercy” that had been tainted, completely destroyed the remaining traces of the ceremony, and then planned to leave.

But she thought about it, turned back and tidied up the clothes of the dead girls, also casually handled the bloodstains on them, and covered those without clothes with a blanket.

—If it were Aiwass, he would probably do this. Aleister thought.

Aiwass was a person gentle enough, especially compassionate towards these unfortunate souls…

The reason she suddenly decided to do this was because Aleister just realized something… If she were to brand herself as “someone completely different from Aiwass” by intentionally doing things Aiwass wouldn’t do, and avoiding things Aiwass would do, wouldn’t that prove they really have separated and become two different people?

Aleister was unwilling to accept that possibility.

Even if it was to not let Aiwass refuse to merge with her, she could not go too far.
