That's not even the plot of the current 1.0 anymore!

The 3.0 expansion is called Shadow of Avalon, and this is the first version of the Ouroboros Ritual to appear.

The advent of the Fallen Celestial Division takes place outside of the main storyline. To be more precise, this is the story that takes place in the trailer for version 3.0. However, Avalon's Shadow Celestial Division only came after the main story boss of version 3.0, that is, the Fallen Celestial Division that descended to Star Antimony, was defeated.

The "someone" who once served as a puppet of the Star Antimony and is now independent and summons the Shadow Celestial Division is Isabel (a puppet).

This is the core of the conspiracy of the Star Antimony Kingdom, and it is also the confidence that they dare to attack Avalon directly.

Using the most advanced technology - using the techniques of golemology, alchemy, ritual and necromancy - they created a replica of Princess Isabel that was loyal to Star Antimony as a doll. There is even a sense of independence, able to act autonomously without taking orders.

Aside from the joints hidden under her clothes, she looks exactly like Isabel in appearance.

Of course, the difference between her and Isabel's personality is very large. And because of her low intelligence in autonomous action mode, as long as the ministers have no problem with their brains, it is easy to see that she is just a puppet.

- But it's enough to have a puppet as a guise.

On the face of it, it's still the royal blood that controls Avalon – even if she's not authoritarian, but that's better than nothing. Nor will the ministers who betrayed Avalon and defected to Starty. The hatred of the Avalons will not be fully concentrated on the Star Antimony.

One would only think that Avalon had been defeated once, so a contract was signed to sell out the benefits. But it would not have occurred to them that their new queen was just a puppet of the Star Antimony people.

In version 3.0, Isabel became famous for defeating the Fallen Celestial Division with the support and help of the Church. People are just beginning to wonder - if it was Isabel who defeated the Fallen Celestials, then who was their queen?

Until version 3.2, the puppet was forced to learn about Isabel's past after losing the control of the Star Antimony Man. Eventually, the doll gradually awakens to her own heart – or rather, she gradually loses control. She really grew to think of herself as Isabel.

The plot in the middle was forgotten by Eivus. However, in version 3.4, Miss Doll and the Puppet Queen learned of the existence of the "Shadow of Avalon", and finally chose to sacrifice her brother John as Isabel in an attempt to summon the ancestor Lancelot I to protect Avalon.

However, the summoning failed.

The calling is bound to be a failure.

Because the ritual arranged by Merlin before becoming an apostle has long been modified by Lancelot's adoptive mother and Merlin's ex-girlfriend, Vivien, the lake fairy of the path of love.

After completing her great career as a mother, Vivien also became an apostle.

But she was not an apostle of the Eternal Self, but an apostle of the Shadow Celestial Division.

According to the rules of the path of love, both superiors and subordinates are loved. So she can be counted as the daughter or lover of Shadow Celestial, then Lancelot is Shadow Celestial's grandson - which is why he went to the Shadow Nation to train instead of becoming a Silver Crowned Dragon Apostle.

Vivien's original purpose was presumably to prevent Lancelot's rebirth.

Because everyone knows that if Lancelot dies again after being reborn, he will leave the Shadow Nation forever and become an apostle of the Silver Crowned Dragon. But as long as he fails to resurrect, he will remain here forever as a warrior of the Shadow Country.

Despite Lancelot's bad attitude towards her, Vivien still loves him one-sidedly.

As an adoptive mother, and as a mentor, but also as a lover.

The transcendent of the path of love always has a hard time controlling their desires. And it will mix up all kinds of different desires and misidentify them.

And the reason why Lancelot treats her badly as an adult is also very simple - because Vivien did not raise Lancelot as an orphan, but fell in love with Lancelot as a baby after seeing him, and then stole him directly from his parents as an infant.

But perhaps it was because of the hands and feet of the Ring of the Heavens, or perhaps it was a simple coincidence, or it was possible that the inspiration for the "Ouroboros" ceremony was this ceremony...... In short, after being altered by Vivien, this ritual happens to become the "Ouroboros Ring".

And when she changed the ritual, the Celestial Division had not yet taught the ritual to humans.

Lancelot's still alive body happened to be the "living sacrifice" needed for the Ouroboros ceremony. And the close kinship between him and Kagetenji became the foundation of the ritual.

As the spark of the ceremony, it is the ignorant and pure desire in the puppet queen's heart.

I want to live as a human being, as "Isabel du Lack"-

As a result, the ritual absorbed John's blood, the puppet queen's heart, and Lancelot's body, and turned it into the "Ouroboros Ring" ritual that dragged Shadow Tenji down.

- One thing to say, Shadow Tenji must also be at a loss.

Because there is no Celestial who wants to be dragged down by the Ouroboros - even if they can be reborn in the Dream Realm after being killed, if they die in the Material Realm, they will no longer be Celestial after being reborn.

Illusions respawn after death, but "equipment" drops.

Ordinary phantoms don't have much equipment, but Tenji has authority...... That is, their Celestial Fragments.

If you die in the dream world, as long as the person who killed you is not a peer who happens to be able to absorb your own fragments, you can be resurrected in full state. But if you die in the material realm, it is equivalent to this part of the fragments falling directly into the void.

It is the disintegration of this part of authority and the re-vacancy of occupied power nodes that can allow the transcendents of this path to break through the limits and go further. It was only after Shadow Tensi had died once in the material realm that the rare shadow power was finally unlocked.

Now that there is no puppet queen, it is difficult for Ivus to say whether Shadow Celestial will succeed in descending.

But he was sure that Vivien must have changed the ritual. In other words, it can't be Lancelot anyway. Maybe it's Vivien, or maybe it's still Shadowcelesh, and best of all, his former brothers, the other knights who became the Apostles of the Silver Crowned Dragon, but it can't be Lancelot.

But here comes another trouble.

That is, Ivas could not stop the queen from performing this ritual.

- Now that twenty of the royal family have died, the ritual is only one last one away. And then you, an outsider who hadn't heard of this ritual before, suddenly jumped out and said, "There's something wrong with this ritual, stop it"?

Don't think about it, he can't persuade him.

Even if she knew that there was a problem, the old lady would definitely try it.

Because without Lancelot's protection, it would be difficult for Avalon to survive the labor pains - and it is true, Avalon without Lancelot was directly pushed by a wave of F2A by Star Antimony.

However, the current world level is too low. There are very few people who can even touch the upper limit.

If you want to change all this, you still have to wait until the big event of version 2.0...... At that point, the speed of the upgrade will increase suddenly.

Now, if they really pull the Shadow Celestial Division out, it will be the end of the calf - at this time, the whole world can't get a sixth-level team, and those demonic avatars of the Rose Cross Society are all stuck at the upper limit of the fifth level.

If you are less than the sixth energy level, how can you beat the descending Tianji...... If you don't have enough priority, you can't even break the defense.

That's Avalon with the whole world to be buried together.

…… Well, it's better to look back. Is it possible that this ritual will be repaired?

It's not impossible.

If Merlin is summoned, tell him that there is a place in his ritual that Vivien has changed...... Will he be able to find a way to change it back?

- It's like a one-time program written when I left my job more than 400 years ago, and I didn't write a comment because it was a one-time thing. Now the program is ready to run, and it turns out that there is a bug. Hopefully now he can come back to the company to fix it.

…… Ivus thought about it, and felt as if there was not much hope.

The best possible thing is to destroy the ritual directly. This is not difficult, after all, the foundation of the ritual is Lancelot's body.

Although Ivas couldn't understand such an apostolic level of complex ritual...... But if the problem is fundamentally solved, it is better to kill Lancelot. Lancelot's body was the foundation of the ritual, which was automatically shut down as soon as he died.

After all, it's a soulless shell. It is equivalent to a sixth-level powerhouse falling into a deep sleep that cannot be awakened, and it is very simple to kill it.

But in that case, there is no turning back. He also had to prepare other means to fight against Star Antimony.

Her Majesty, however, has hardly thought about it.

After all, this was not Avalon's plan, but a flexible response to the conspiracy of Star Antimony and Iris. It is already remarkable to be able to think of counterattack means under the condition of being completely passive, being attacked from all sides, and suffering from internal and external troubles. And now it's less than a year away, and if Ivas asks for all of them to be torn down and redone......

Tsk, a little toothache.

It suddenly occurred to him that it was not a good thing to know too much.

As a result, no matter how he moves, it seems to lead to unexpected situations.

…… It stands to reason that the story should be left unfolded. Just let Avalon perish and they flee, and eventually the problem should be solved...... Let Avalon break and stand again, and be reborn in the flames.

But can he do that?

Ivas vetoed it without thinking about it.

There is no complicated reason.

— because I don't want to.

The second chapter is just a meal to come back and write!
