"Promotion ceremony? But my promotion profession is the 'Scholar of Mortal Sins' of the Huantian Division. If Huantiansi has malicious intentions towards me, have I chosen the wrong path? ”

Aihuas was worried: "Moreover, I am still being hunted down by Xiong Tianji...... Even if I'm okay myself, the people I'm promoted with will be in danger. It's also unfair to them. ”

"It's okay with the former, Huantiansi is your shepherd. He may make you an enemy, but he will do everything in his power to protect and nurture you until the day of his destiny comes. ”

The Lord of Scales nodded happily, "So this will be a solo promotion ceremony."

"—in the future you can see, that's probably not uncommon."

…… Indeed there is.

Ivus nodded slowly.

In addition to the New Moon Ritual and the Full Moon Ceremony, there is also the "Lunar Eclipse Ceremony".

There are only two situations in which this ritual can be true - one is because of the uneven opening of versions of the game. Based on the setting of the "Ouroboros Ring" ceremony, the progress of breaking through the level cap of different paths is disrupted. Because of this, in the case of uneven careers, there are always people who cannot complete the highest promotion ceremony.

Secondly, when the game reaches the middle and late stages, the new players in the early stage will not be able to make up the nine-player arrangement. Because there are not so many newcomers, and the path of newcomers is uneven.

Therefore, after a certain version update, the "Lunar Eclipse Ritual" was introduced. That is, it is difficult to rank high alone, and the difficulty is even more difficult than the crescent moon ceremony. However, considering the catch-up mechanism after the level cap is raised, all the attributes of the newcomers in the early stage will increase, so it is not sad. Krypton, Xiaodai, and streamers can also break through the energy level limit and reach a new level hard cap by brushing the High Tribulation Lunar Eclipse Ritual as soon as possible after the version is opened.

And judging by the situation in this world......

The lunar eclipse ritual is actually an active "absence ceremony".

…… Wait a minute?

Ivas suddenly reacted: "You are the host yourself? And my solo ceremony ......"

"Yes."

The Lord of the Feathers touched Ivus's head.

Although he had no face and therefore no expression, Ivas felt that his smile at the moment should be kind.

"You have the triple imprint of Him...... You might be able to catch Xiong Tianji, won't you?

"If he takes the bait, you'll be able to rest assured later. Even if He was careful to send other apostles, it would continue to cut off His hands and feet and weaken His power. ”

“…… Why are you targeting Tenji Xiong? ”

Ivas was a little confused.

If it is said that the silver crown dragon is aimed at Xiong Tiansi, it is understandable, or Si Candle is aimed at Xiong Tiansi Aihuas.

But the one who is active in the black hand is the lord of the scales.

"Hmm, what do you say?"

The Lord of the Feathers clasped his hands to his chest and pondered the answer.

He burst out laughing, "Ah, let's put it that way. I'm sure I've played that kind of fantasy-themed RPG. ”

“…… Be. ”

Ivas replied, feeling strange.

Because in his cognition, this world is a game from "Ouroboros".

"This world is like a fantasy RPG. And in this game, there are also paladins, mages, assassins, archers, priests, warrior monks, necromancers...... But do you ever feel like it's missing something? ”

“…… Less, warriors? ”

Ivas blurted out.

"That's right."

The Lord of the Feathers nodded with satisfaction, "Adapt to battles and wars, and survive the brutal battlefield...... I think this is also a profession that adapts to the path.

"—The days of Xiong Tianji's monopoly on the 'warrior' profession have come to an end. It's time for Him to give me this power. ”

“…… Are you creating the Warrior class? ”

Ivas was stunned.

The Lord of Scales snorted with some dissatisfaction: "Your reaction...... You should say, 'If you want, come and get it yourself, you know the rules.'" I didn't even give you this memory? It seems that He didn't cut it very cleanly. ”

Sounds like a meme, Ivas thought.

But he didn't have time to remember the strange meme......

Because Eivas immediately realized that the future of this world was about to change dramatically.

It's even bigger than Avalon's counterattack on Star Antimony, and the Church is no longer divided!

Without a doubt, this is a development that has never been seen before in Ouroboros.

He knows that many players have a deep affection for the "warrior" profession. But there are no warriors in Ouroboros...... This is a pure villain class that only appears among the enemies of the Supreme Heaven line.

The closest thing to the position of a warrior is the knightly class that has been stripped off by the silver-crowned dragon, or the ranger promoted by the hunter - a physical class that is proficient near and far.

If the Lord of Scales can defeat Kuma, and create the Warrior class, it will mean that the future will change dramatically.

A large part of the reason why there are no transcendents in the world today is because they were professionals on the path of power hundreds of years ago. Since the introduction of the class system, the "warriors" of the path of power have become the most populous professions.

Swords or axes, melee or ranged, bows and firearms...... As long as the purpose of becoming stronger is to fight, and to become stronger, it is already in line with the characteristics of the path of strength.

Those knights, warriors, swordsmen, berserkers...... These are extraordinary professions with the lowest threshold. You don't need a tantric book, you don't need to go to university to learn those secret knowledge, you just need to worship a master and practice martial arts to achieve transcendence.

In past wars, the two sides have always fought fiercely, but it is difficult to change the territory. It is because both sides have a sufficient number of "warriors" that are mainly consumed in the war.

But since the fall of the Supreme Heaven, the path has changed hands...... The situation of the war has changed dramatically. Gone were the brave warriors who were one-size-fits-all, replaced by technical blows—spells, necromancy, laws, traps, toxins, plus alchemical products, curses, rituals, assassins, ...... Basically, attrition and interference occur before the two armies are engaged.

Once the official confrontation is made, there will always be one side that will be defeated in an instant.

Because after a firefight, the restraint between the transcendents becomes unusually clear - the mage's spells are ineffective against rune-colossias and gargoyles, and the priest can easily dispel powerful gargoyles, undead and demons. The rune colossus that can be infinitely regenerated will collapse on its own as long as the assassin infiltrates the past and destroys the rune, and once it falls into a large ritual trap, even if the number of people exceeds the opponent several times, it may be destroyed in an instant......

After the fall of the Supreme Heavens, "war" became this concept in an instant.

Whether it's a rip-to-earth war, or a Star Antimony annexing other countries. Or the original cruel autumn, or the current Avalon air raid on the Star Antimony Capital, it is this kind of battle where "the two sides almost do not fight each other at all". On the contrary, the rebellion of the Duchy of Narcissus is relatively closer to what "war" should be - it is a battle of life and death.

And this includes the civil wars that followed, such as the secession of the church and the division of the Star Antimony...... It's basically this kind of play where the two sides pull each other.

But if the "warrior" profession reappears, the situation will be completely different.

A warrior is a profession made for the battlefield. Overwhelming survivability and comprehensive quality, as well as omnipotence that can be useful on any battlefield, will directly change the situation of war...... and then change the future of the whole world.

- The most obvious is that Avalon and Black Hawk will be much stronger in an instant.

Star Antimony and Narcissus are essentially spellcaster nations, while Iris-de-lis are the realm of love and beauty, plus an adaptation path to manipulating the underworld. They all struggle to hatch large numbers of fighters.

However, Avalon, who is a descendant of knights, and the former Black Eagle Principality, which is rich in mercenaries, and the number of transcendents in the country can double in an instant.

Not to mention other places - those areas where there is a lot of friction and war, there will be a lot of extra transcendents in an instant, and they will be upgraded to about the third level in a short time.

The whole world situation is about to change.

The future will be completely reversed in a direction that Ivas could not have predicted.

But......

"—I agree."

Ivus nodded in response.

…… Again, he prefers to believe in the Lord of the Feathers than in the Celestial Division.

Professor Moriarty. Grandfather Jacob. Cardinal Loki.

These three men, each with their own minds and hiding in the dark, were finally able to get a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg in the darkness after Ivus learned part of his identity.

Although they still couldn't figure out their details, but with the intervention of the three of them, Ivas finally held the head of the knot!

Loki and Moriarty, who know many secrets through the art of stargazing, and Jacob, who is suspected to be an apostle of the Celestial Rings and summoned Ivus to the nether...... They've been laid out for too long. Even though Ivas has a partial understanding of this world, it is the memory that Celestial Division gave Ivus after all.

That's the part that He cut off!

If you want to defeat the Celestial Circle, you must break free from this prophet He has given. as a lamb will run out of the fold.

— and all he could do was flip the table.

Directly change the world, destroy everyone's plan, and make everyone try to return to the same level!

This is where another player comes in, the Lord of the Scales.

As a game-breaker, Xiong Tianji is an important part of his plan. Just as he was juicing Erio, the Lord of the Feathers also took a fancy to the remnants of Xiong Tianji's power.

Change the situation of the whole world...... Thus destroying the future that has already been determined.

“…… Then let me do the nesting. ”

Ivas took a deep breath and said slowly, "If you can't kill the bear, remove its hands and feet, strip him of his skin, and deprive him of his inalienable ......"

"Don't worry, you have a share too."

The Lord of Scales touched Ehuath's bloody chest and whispered, "After all, I'm ......

"——The god of the speed of light, the god of generosity."

Washton was terrified.

…… Wait, did He hear me?

The Lord of the Feathers' voice fell, and the entire world around him shattered again.

Ivus woke up in a trance and looked at Cardinal Cyril, who was still sitting in place.

"Looks like you're talking pretty well."

The old cardinal nodded with satisfaction: "Then there is only one last step left." ”

Ivus looked down when he heard this.

The Ouroboros-like ring on his chest vanished—its edges contracted and turned into black scars like scars, cracks shaped like vertical eyes. Inside the crack, it turned into an emerald of very high quality. It looks like a rough jadeite that has been cracked open.

"Before the final step, it's time to make your clothes custom-made."

Cardinal Cyril smiled and asked, "What color do you like?"

"I mean, your cardinal's uniform - what color do you think would work better for you?"
