Ever since coming into contact with the Death Maniac, Ash has felt a slight sense of disharmony in his heart.
Later, he fought side by side with the Phantom Demon, Mirror Demon, and Black Demon, and had several days of heart-to-heart talks with them on the eve of the final battle. The sense of disharmony in Ash's heart became stronger and stronger.
That is, the performance of the bond system is totally inconsistent with the Doomsday Observer they described.
As the most vicious sorcerer who can make four evil, crazy, conceited and cruel magic kings bow down to him and even respect him from the bottom of their hearts, the ultimate result of his burying countless worlds and wasting countless resources is actually the team-supporting secret art of "you have to have good relationships with others in order to borrow their power".
The abruptness of this scene cannot be described as a lone wolf choosing to play as a team support. If I had to describe it, it should be like the villain in a dynasty hegemony novel actually developing a favorability setting that only appears in romantic comedy comics.
But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense. After all, the Doomsday Observer alone cannot defeat Ouroboros, and the five of them combined cannot defeat him either. So it is natural for them to think about whether the combination of five people can lead to a qualitative change. The Death Maniacs and the others think so too.
In fact, the bond system also fully meets the expectations of Death Maniac and the others. Except for the preference for the bond core (the operator's spell experience will be unilaterally shared with the core), the two parties in the bond are completely equal in other aspects, and there is no master-slave element such as superiors and subordinates.
This is understandable. If the viewer mixes some tendencies of slavery into it, the four demon kings will never accept it. After all, their original plan was to let Ash and the other four perfect the bond system, and then they would take over. In other words, this bond system is for their own use, and of course they will not let the viewer mess around.
Moreover, only when they are equal to each other can they have the capital to confront the viewers. After all, only when they join together can they surpass the Seven Wings. If the viewers dare to mess around, they can threaten them by reducing their favorability.
Perhaps because of this, the viewer never fantasized about enslaving them and turning them into their own virtual-winged pets forever.
He wanted to devour them.
"Perhaps only people with destiny vision can see the magician manual in the body of a fully bound operator." Ash looked at Sonia's chest with clear and pure eyes, but for the first time, Sonia felt an indescribable sense of panic in her heart because of Ash's gaze... She had never felt this way even when turning on the lights at night... It was as if he was not looking at her, but at a button, a button that would make her lose everything.
"Although I don't have other miracles of destiny, I am Rose's sense of touch and the authority of thoughts. I can use the power of thoughts to directly cut off ordinary ties, and I can also tie them again, regardless of the distance in time and space. However, the viewers have cut off the connection between me and others before, leaving only the ties with the four of you." Ash closed his eyes and stretched out his fingers to count in the void: "For example, I can now see myself and Freya, Shifrin, Annan, Tamashi, Felix... Why are there Qinna and Deda Rose... Wait, these two lines can't be Yin Gula and Harvey..."
Weisser propped her chin up and looked at him dimly: "Do you want to restore your bond with the others? So the relationship we share with you... is no longer the exclusive right of lovers?"
Diya was stunned, and the little bear biscuit in her mouth seemed to have no fragrance anymore.
Vichy also narrowed his eyes and loosened his mouth so as not to bite Ash, but still held his finger in his mouth, as if to make a judgment based on his answer.
Ash blinked, turned around and looked at Sonia nervously, and Sonia felt annoyed by his hesitation. However, when she was about to speak, Ash covered her mouth with his hand again, took a deep breath and said to everyone, "I'm sorry."
"I don't want to share our secrets with anyone else, not even Freya and the others. Maybe I will change my mind in the future, but at least at this moment, your position in my heart is different from that of others - I am only willing to share everything with you. But now that Fanxing has gained a fighting power that crushes me through the bond, coupled with the future World Devouring Serpent, I must master more power... So, I must establish bonds with others."
Ash let go of his hand, with a heroic expression of self-sacrifice on his face, his eyes mainly focused on Sonia: "Okay, you can blame me now."
"Didn't you want to ask for my opinion just now?" Sonia stared at him, held his hand, and whispered, "I didn't say I don't support you."
"Whether you support it or not, the decision is mine." Ash tilted his head: "You have no obligation to make decisions, but you have the right to blame me. You can redeem this indulgence at any time, and then I will be forced to unconditionally fulfill your wish out of guilt."
"You're talking as if you wouldn't unconditionally fulfill my wishes at other times." Sonia took his hand and put it close to her face. "If the situation really came up where I had to make a wish to you with indulgence, you would probably insist on doing it and not listen to me, like... staying alive."
The atmosphere suddenly became dull, and Vichy let go of Ash's hand. She saw that it was covered with her saliva, and subconsciously wiped it clean on her maid skirt.
"Let's continue talking about the bond system."
Ash calmed down and said:
"Normal bonds can be easily disconnected and reconnected, but once the bond reaches the point where the Wings can be shared - let's call it an "exclusive bond" because only at this stage will the bond show different characteristics - it will no longer be possible to disconnect."
"But Vichy wasn't killed by you..." Weisser said halfway before reacting, "Didn't you just break the bond with Vichy? Instead, you swallowed up everything of Vichy through the bond?"
"No," Ash shook his head: "I didn't devour her when I took the magician's manual from Vichy. To be more precise, the devouring ritual was completed when our bond was upgraded to the exclusive level."
"In the vision of destiny, you and I have become one because of our exclusive bond. The reason why we can share the virtual wings at will is that the five magicians named "Ashe Seath", "Sonia Servi", "Lisdiya Isu", "Youlan Weisser", and "Vichy" no longer exist in this world. There is only a magician group with me as the main body."
"Our virtual wings, magic spirits, and wonders are all public assets, so they can be shared with each other." Ash looked at Vichy: "I just took away Vichy's magician manual, which is equivalent to depriving her of her identity in our group, but all her magic achievements belong to the collective, so all her power belongs to me - because I am the main body of the group."
"The fact that the Master Manual is generated in Vichy and you is probably due to the influence of the bond system. After all, only when a Master dies will his life experience be solidified into a Master Manual. The Observer should have prepared a miracle of fate specifically for seizing the Master Manual. Once an Operator has achieved a special bond and generated a Master Manual, he can seize the Master Manual and make the Operator's life experience his own."
"As expected of the villains from the end." Weishi couldn't help but sneer, "The magician's manual was originally a legacy passed down by the ancients to the present generation, but now it has become a symbol for him to plunder other magicians."
"There is indeed nothing that better represents a magician than a magician's handbook." Weisser smiled and said, "I am also curious about what my magician's handbook will look like."
At this point, Ash couldn't help but feel a little admiration for the Doomwatcher, this scheming conspirator: "In the Doomwatcher's plan, he should have formed an exclusive bond with the Death Maniacs, and then take away their magician manuals and gather their powers into one. Then he will continue to walk against the timeline, repeating this ritual countless times, just like the World Devouring Snake, devouring all the magicians... completely!"
Suddenly, Ash seemed to see a figure wearing a black windbreaker.
More crazy than the Death Maniac, crazier than the Black Demon, more far-sighted than the Mirror Demon, and more cruel and violent than the Black Demon... He is like the savior star that represents the last bit of hope at the end of the world, and also like the source of disaster left behind by billions of living beings after they have exhausted their last drop of malice.
How did he feel when he traveled alone to this era on the verge of extinction
From the Ocean of Knowledge to the Seventh Heaven, what did he experience
He used to be sentimental, but gradually he became indifferent.
He has a soft spot in his heart, but in the end his heart is as cold as iron.
He once complained about the unfairness of fate, but he persevered time and time again.
No blood or tears, no emotion or temper, ambitious, and will never stop until death!
This is the Doomwatcher, a demonic lotus blooming in despair, a sorcerer who deserves the title more than anyone else!
"The End Watcher Ash." Ash said in his heart, "Good night."
"So you can't break your bond with the stars."
Sonia concluded:
"Unless you can take away Fanxing's magician's manual, then you can not only break the bond, but also take away everything from Fanxing. However, the magician's manual is in Fanxing's soul..."
"Hmm-" Weisser groaned, "In other words, as long as Ash can touch Fanxing's breasts, all problems can be solved."
Diya blinked: "Although it's a bit strange, why do I feel that this thing... doesn't seem to be very difficult to achieve?"
"Ash." Vichy took a deep breath and smiled sweetly: "If you give me the Supreme Tail of the Stars, I won't care about what you did just now."
"Why do you make it seem like I can really take down Fanxing..." Ash was speechless: "Don't forget that Fanxing herself has the vision of destiny. She can probably see the magician's manual in her body. How could she allow me to touch her?"
"And even if we can really deal with the stars, the World Devouring Snake is the real key. If we can't solve the World Devouring Snake, everything will be a futile struggle."
"But the dramatist has made it very clear." Weisser said calmly: "The only way to deal with the World Devouring Serpent is to unify the concepts of magicians, that is, to exterminate all sentient beings, leaving only the one magician. From then on, all is one, and one is all. The one magician will gather all magic, replace the Doomsday Serpent, and ascend to the Eight-Winged Level."
"No one can reach the end, only the Eight Wings are immortal."
