Klein's voice abruptly ceased. Through the perspective shared by the marionette, he finally noticed that Aaron's current state was extremely bizarre.
Not only was his body covered in black, cold scales, but he was also pierced by illusory thin tubes emerging from the black mist.
"No matter! I am well aware of Azik's situation. Take out the 'Eye' that the Evernight Goddess bestowed upon you earlier."
Waving his hand dismissively to indicate that he was fine, Aaron looked at his increasingly illusory body and couldn't help but sigh.
The Uniqueness of the Death Pathway had basically been activated, filled with an extreme intensity of coldness and madness. If it were to reunite with Azik now, he would likely immediately become a pseudo-Death with only divinity and no humanity!
However, the Evernight Goddess, who should have appeared long ago, had yet to make a move. This abnormality made Aaron suspect that the turmoil in the Berserk Sea had caused some issues in the Astral World.
His main body was still far away in the 'Abyss of Ferrying' eliminating Haiter. Relying solely on this pseudo-divine descent clone, he could only temporarily swap destinies with Azik using the 'Luck Siphon' charm, directly transferring the impact caused by the 'Artificial Death' to the Nation of Disorder, which served as the medium for the divine descent clone!
Although the residual pollution still caused irreversible mutations in Aaron's body, to his pleasant surprise, comforting and integrating with the half of Azik's soul that was fused with the Death Uniqueness allowed him to digest quite a bit of his 'Balancer' Potion.
The only problem was that the 'Luck Siphon' charm's effect was limited. This pseudo-divine descent clone alone couldn't prevent Azik from merging with the Death Uniqueness.
Despite not quite understanding what Aaron intended to do, Klein still let out a long breath and took out the Eye of Rusko, which had been concealed within his flesh, accompanied by a strong sense of powerlessness.
Even though he had already advanced to Sequence 5, he would be severely injured even by simply opening his eyes to observe Mr. Azik's current state and plight.
This was not a problem that could be solved by courage alone; it was a difference in Beyonder characteristic level, an unbridgeable gap.
Just then, Klein suddenly heard an extremely familiar, painful roar.
Almost subconsciously, he turned his head. Through Ludwell's vision, Klein saw Mr. Azik kneeling on one knee at the very bottom of the tiered coffins, not far from that indescribable feathered serpent.
Drops of sweat slid down Azik's forehead, hitting the stone slab in front of him, staining it with a faint yellow grease and causing fine white fuzz to sprout.
His forehead suddenly bulged as if alive, then split open, revealing a bloody gash.
A golden light then emerged from nothingness, taking shape within the flesh.
This was an ancient golden ornament, shaped like a slender bird, surrounded by wings made of pale flames. Inside its bronze eyes, layers of light formed a mysterious and illusory Door.
The 'Luck Siphon' charm had failed!
Aaron's expression also changed slightly beside him. He cursed under his breath, somewhat suspecting that the Die of Probability, sealed within the Nation of Disorder, had taken the opportunity to affect him with its terrifying misfortune.
"Close your eyes!"
Aaron roared, no longer bothering with Klein. His figure dissipated, and when he reformed, he had forcefully pressed the Eye of Rusko onto Azik's forehead, blocking the bird-shaped golden ornament that wanted to fly out of the fleshly crack.
Within Azik's eyes, two pale flames suddenly ignited. Looking at Aaron, who stood before him, he roared in pain, unable to conceal it:
"Don't mind me!"
"Quickly take Klein and escape from here!"
Aaron glanced at Klein, who was fumbling his way towards them not far away, and shook his head helplessly. He ignited the divinity of this quasi-divine descent clone and fused it into the Eye, the last remnant of the 'Annihilation Demonic Wolf' Flegrea.
The illusory yet real feathered serpent deep within the black mist straightened its body, extended its head, and met the gaze of the slightly rotating, golden-glowing Eye of Rusko.
The entire mausoleum suddenly began to vibrate, and its surroundings became transparent, reflecting an illusory world with countless skeletons and specters.
Bloody arms, black-green vines with infant faces, and slimy tentacles penetrated the boundary between reality and illusion, reaching into the mausoleum, yet they clung tightly to the ground, not daring to move.
Aaron's rapidly fading figure paused slightly, stopping his almost dissipated form, and looked at a beautiful lady outlined through the illusory world between Azik and the mountain-like illusory feathered serpent.
This was the 'Mother of the Sky' sealed beneath St. Samuel Cathedral in the Backlund diocese, the Evernight Goddess's divine descent vessel!
He finally made it.... Aaron's expression relaxed slightly. He had no time to ask what accident had occurred and immediately turned sideways, casually taking the constantly wriggling Eye of Rusko.
The bird-shaped golden ornament on Azik's forehead immediately became restless, and pale flames surged, but they were then pressed down by a slender, fair hand. The mountain-like illusory feathered serpent showed a look of fear for the first time.
-----------------
At the deepest part of the Abyss of Ferrying, 'City of the Undead' Manuel suffered the greatest destruction in over a thousand years since the fall of Death during the Pale Disaster.
The desperate struggle of the three Angels, or rather, Aaron and Bernadette's one-sided crushing of Haiter, brought this ancient city to the brink of collapse.
Once again dispersing the ferocious feathered serpent into black mist, the Sun Chaser Scepter in Aaron's hand surged with endless light, seemingly transforming into the Sun descended into reality.
Accompanied by Haiter's painful and angry roars, clumps of green-tinged Beyonder characteristics were forcibly stripped away. Even so, Haiter stubbornly continued to reform his body.
Having personally witnessed the terrifying vitality of a Death Pathway Angel, Aaron raised an eyebrow and casually collected the Beyonder characteristics, which were at most demigod level, his expression, however, becoming relaxed.
Through the Nation of Disorder, he had synchronized the consciousness of his pseudo-divine descent clone and was already aware of the Evernight Goddess's descent. He no longer needed to risk exposing some of his trump cards to maintain the situation.
Ignoring Haiter's malicious curses, the special environment of the 'Abyss of Ferrying' allowed him to have no concerns. Moreover, the higher-ups of the Church and various national powers should now be focused on the Berserk Sea. Aaron patiently wore down this half-crippled 'Death Consul' little by little.
Alvin Gallows, who had sealed the Spirit World near the 'Abyss of Ferrying,' followed the light of the Sun Chaser Scepter and penetrated the much thinner black mist to find Aaron. The slowly writhing black thorns on his body were entwined with several figures, who were the high-ranking members of the Artificial Death faction who had tried to escape by Spirit World traversing during the chaos.
One 'Ferryman,' two 'Undying'.... Aaron tilted his head slightly, sweeping his gaze over these figures, pausing for a few seconds on Patrick Bryan, whose aura was the weakest.
