My First Kiss Is Gone!!

When he saw the skunk and beetle lying on the plate, seemingly wanting to become his sacrament, Rovey was utterly speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment. Aiwass, on the other hand, burst into laughter without any restraint and explained that this was the effect of the "Holy Child" trait.

After driving the animals away, Rovey no longer cared about his own characteristics.

His "holy son" is nothing but a fake, at best a fabrication.

It's really hard to imagine why it would have such an effect; logically, it should have disappeared after the ritual ended.

Aiwass could not give a definite answer to this either; he could only say this.

"Perhaps while you're busy working to save the world, the one above you might actually be quite fond of you too, who knows?"

Of course, there is no evidence for such a claim, and Rovey doesn't believe that his daily criticism of Christianity could win him the favor of the Holy Spirit.

However, neither of them considered this issue too much. After all, for Rovey Wei, this strange Holy Child trait was not a bad thing. At least with this, the amplification he received on "Holy Day" was extremely considerable. He could also clearly feel that he had gained further control and progress over the Magecraft power of the religious foundation, and his body seemed to be moving closer to the direction of "God Child".

In short, at least for now, this characteristic still seems to be entirely beneficial.

In the days that followed, thanks to the appearance of Aiwass, Rovey finally had a teacher who could guide him to move forward.

"Tsk tsk, as expected, none of these big families are simple. They really know how to hide things. This family has a lot more good stuff than I imagined."

"If these important resources could be consolidated, how could the Clock Tower be looked down upon to such an extent by the other two departments? It's truly degenerate for Magus to not focus on exploring the path of magic but instead be preoccupied with political struggles..."

At night, in the pavilion of the manor, Rovey sat on a bench, flipping through the list in his hands, and couldn't help but sigh as he looked at it.

Because the bet is based on equal value, all the families participating in this bet will definitely suffer huge losses this time.

Originally, even if they lost, they might have been able to use something else to fool others, but now that Aiwass personally assessed the value, these people had no choice but to lay out their assets, no matter how unwilling they were.

The Department of Botany lost more than half of their medicinal herb cultivation fields, and the Coal Witch was now on the verge of tears.

The Department of Law donated many of the top Sacred Relic that the British Museum had previously collected, including fragments of the bow and arrows of the great Middle East hero Arash, and the ceremonial sword of the famous medieval alchemist Paracelsus.

Because the Department of Astromancy had spent all its resources on construction in Antarctica, it couldn't afford to lose any more money. So it simply sold off all of its family's Magecraft, essentially jeopardizing its entire Magecraft foundation.

The Creation Department, all Department of General Fundamentals, and the Millennium Tree Clan also lost part of their Ley Line, many classrooms, and important magical materials, resulting in a severe blow to their vitality.

No matter how unwilling they were, they could no longer bargain or negotiate at this moment, because it was Rovey, not Aiwass, who was accepting the terms, and they knew they had no right to bargain.

With the Second Magic User absent, the entire Clock Tower must obey this angel.

The Spiritual Evocation Department donated two excellent sites for spirit summoning, which can be considered as establishing its foundation.

Finland, on the other hand, sent over its shares in its Finland businesses, since they really had nothing of great value other than money.

The final answer from the Mineralogy Department was simply unbeatable. Kenneth just said, "I've given you El-Melloi and Reines, what more do you want?"

Even Aiwass couldn't help but wonder if there was such a connection.

Now all the departments have paid out their due compensation.

Of the Magus present that day, apart from the two Department of Law Magus who were slapped by Aiwass and sent flying hundreds of kilometers to drift on the Thames River for a day and a night and are still unconscious in the hospital, the matter was completed satisfactorily.

And because the Ley Line problem was dealt with so quickly, Aiwass only took less than a minute to turn the earth dragon over and re-suppress and repair the dried-up Ley Line, and even adjust his own physical condition.

He directly elevated the spiritual energy supply in the London area to the point where the Ley Line of the entire England were supplying him with energy, thus managing to regain some of his power and making his body more stable.

Aiwass made no attempt to conceal his existence. In recent days, driven by curiosity about the changes and developments in magic in this era, he had been appearing and disappearing unpredictably within the Clock Tower, always swaggering about. His presence could be found in forbidden areas, classrooms, and even the streets of London.

So much so that the Department of Law couldn't suppress the news no matter how hard they tried. Furthermore, there was no need to cover up the fact that an "angel" had appeared on their own turf. This was a new brand and a powerful asset delivered to their doorstep, comparable to a royal flush, enough to make the entire Clock Tower stand above all other magical organizations.

Thus, with the encouragement of many Lords, news of the reappearance of a god of True Magic in this era has quietly spread.

Such legends are still circulating in Northern Europe, Egypt, and East Asia.

At first, no one was willing to believe it, but after seeing the joint statement issued by all the Lord departments, they had no choice but to believe it.

And...

Because of Aiwass's appearance, the long-dormant Leyline and mysteries of the England region have actually begun to revive. According to the Magus in the Archaeology Department, this land is truly beginning to return to the Age of Gods!

Even True Ether began to appear near Rovey, the place where Aiwass descended, a sign of the return of the era.

Then, unsurprisingly, this news caused an even bigger uproar than the bet itself.

Gods are a name that exists only in epic tales and myths, and what they possess and use is true mystery, miracles, and even True Magic.

Even Magic King Solomon Magic, was merely a king who received divine favor, yet his achievements were unparalleled. He was the creator of Magecraft; without him, the mystery of this era would have long since vanished, and the entire age would have been dominated by science. Therefore, Magus' adoration of the Magic King is irrepressible, as is their veneration of the god who bestowed wisdom upon them.

So when they heard that the gods had truly reappeared in the world, many Magus who had dedicated their lives to the path of magic couldn't help but shed tears, and then gathered at the Clock Tower from all over the world without hesitation.

The situation on the other side of the Wandering Sea prompted many Magus who hadn't stepped out of their workshops for decades, even centuries, to form an expedition and head towards the Clock Tower. Even the Atlas Institute, known for its reclusive nature, was no longer at peace. Numerous Alchemy requested to go to the Clock Tower to investigate the miracle, and some even chose to flee, causing a certain degree of turmoil.

After all, in the eyes of modern Magus, the mysterious decline and the passing of the Age of Gods will always be an insurmountable obstacle for them.

Over the years, countless outstanding Magus, filled with unparalleled longing for that era, have devoted themselves to it, determined to stop it, but without exception, they have all suffered heavy losses.

The Wandering Sea is the best example of this. Countless years of efforts have yielded little result, and the whereabouts of the Age of Gods remain elusive. It can only lament its fate and seal itself off in Northern Europe to continue its research.

Today, this miracle is being recreated in the Clock Tower, a gathering place for modern Magus whom they once looked down upon.

Over the course of so many days, as Aiwass explored the level of Magus in this era, his figure had already been spotted by more than one person. Even with the Lord's constraints, the students remained enthusiastic, searching for Aiwass's whereabouts throughout the Clock Tower.

At this moment, the Magecraft World was in complete uproar.

Even the Dead Apostle Ancestor, far away in Northern Europe, remained skeptical when they heard the news of the "angels."

The Church could not hold back any longer. They decisively dispatched several members of the Burial Agency as leaders to immediately go to the Clock Tower to check on the situation.

The story of a Festival Rank Magus who resurrected an angel in this era sounds utterly absurd. In any other time, they would have considered the person spreading such a rumor a fool. However, with so many Lord vouching for it, and it being spread by those with ulterior motives, even making the news when Aiwass was strolling the streets of London, they had no choice but to believe it.

Moreover, the credibility of this news will be further proven tomorrow.

As for why?

That's because Rovey's rank exam is tomorrow.

The Magus conjured up divine miracles, the Son of Miracles, will personally make an appearance.

It is conceivable that the audience will not be just a few Lord, but will include most of the people from the Magic Association, the Church, and even the Dead Apostle.

As for the assessment?

There's no need for that anymore; Aiwass's answer sheet is already perfect enough.

No one is qualified to assess Aiwass.

Instead, all they want to do now is become Aiwass's students and learn the true law and Mari from him.

If anyone dares to ask them to test the angels, they'll first test whether the Magus came up with the idea has a problem with his brain.

That night, after receiving much guidance from Aiwass once again, he completed another part of the Law Book.

Looking up at the sky, Rovey asked Aiwass the question that had been on his mind.

"Aiwass, do you really think the ending of this world is fixed? Can what I'm doing now really change the future?"

"I don't know. I don't have the ability to predict the future. Similarly, even the Three Goddesses who can predict the future would find it difficult to truly determine the future of every world. But one thing I do know is that everything you've done is by no means in vain."

"If you can truly walk the path I have taught you, then even if the world is truly destroyed in the future, you will be able to restart it on your own and complete a true Genesis."

"Genesis..."

Upon hearing His reply, a smile tugged at the corner of Rovey's mouth, "But if that's the case, can it really still be considered the original world?"

"It depends on how you look at this issue. Your world today wasn't originally like this. There are as many parallel worlds as there are branches on a tree. Now the path is in your hands, and how you choose to go about it is up to you."

As she spoke, the platinum-gold angel slowly stood up and looked up at the boundless night sky of this era.

"However, the Magus of this era are so bad that even I can't stand it anymore. If I want to lead them to victory, that will indeed be a very big challenge."

"That's why we need to unite first. If they're already so weak together, wouldn't it be even more absurd to split up again?"

Having briefly answered Aiwass's question, Rovey rose slightly from his seat and gazed into the distance, towards the Clock Tower —a place that had weathered a crisis yet so quickly returned to calm. This city seemed to possess some mysterious power; no matter what it went through, it could quickly regain its tranquility. Perhaps this was the strangeness of this era, this world.

As the night breeze blew by, Rovey Wei stood up and stretched, facing the night sky.

"Seriously, we're going to be busy from now on. Let me think... Anchor of the Planet, Demon God Pillars, and Alien God... Steel Earth, Moon Coral, and the Church, the attitude of the Dead Apostle, and who knows when those guys in South America will wake up. There are too many problems. In short, we can't continue to move forward halfway... This is really worrying."

Are you scared?

"A little, I guess. After all, it's impossible not to feel pressure when you're suddenly promoted from a nobody to this position and have to shoulder the responsibility for the world and even more."

"The task is arduous and the road ahead is long."

"Yes, it's a long and arduous journey, but we don't need to take such a huge leap. Let's at least reach the true pinnacle of this world first. Let's set a small goal for now."

"The level of that Moon Cell? That's a good standard. If it's the level of that monster from South America, then you'll definitely need a lot more time."

"... Ah, I was actually talking about Solomon."

Rovey shook his head, not continuing the conversation with Aiwass.

"The Magic King? That's fine too. After all, if you want to truly reach the end, you must first transcend the concept of Magecraft, perfect your theories and path. In short, your growth shouldn't be limited to this. I suggest you travel and refine your magic in the process. Only then will you have a chance to reach the end."

"I know."

Rovey laughed, though he didn't know why he laughed, but he just laughed.

"I was originally planning to leave too. After completing the Law Book for you, I will interpret it in my own way and begin to formally climb the Tree of Life, and then transcend the limitations. I plan to first go and retrieve the knight lady who has been trapped in another world for more than a thousand years, as well as the Anchor of the Planet."

"Hmm, that's a good direction for you."

"Alright, break time is over. Let's begin the next lesson. No matter which form you choose, it's meaningless to discuss anything before you've mastered the contents of the 103,000 magic books."

"Should we continue today? I wanted to stay here and watch the dawn."

Rovey's answer surprised Aiwass.

"Dawn? Is this the kind of romance that belongs to you humans? But it's still several hours before daybreak."

"But it's worth it, isn't it?"

"Interesting, a golden dawn, huh? Perhaps this is the romance of you humans. In that case, I won't disturb you any longer. You can stay here and admire it alone. Will this dawn you created be preserved in the future? Let's wait and see."

The sound faded away, and only the gentle breeze brushed against my hair.

Gently raising your palm feels like you could hold the entire night sky in your hand; at this moment, there is a rare moment of silence.

Everything was buried in the darkness, yet it was all spread with the help of those who had a purpose. All the preparations took effect during this night. Countless people were busy throughout the night.

The initial surge of passion can be exhilarating, but true construction occurs on ruins, in the final touches after the initial fervor. Grasping this crucial detail could yield far greater results than a desperate battle. His focus was never on the present, but on the future.

The person who should have been the busiest was now idly waiting for dawn. He should have been the one to personally drive the gears of this world to start turning again. But now, this ancient machine, which had been dormant for countless years, finally started running on its own, and the gears of the entire world began to turn in a completely new direction.

This is the result he wanted; this is the state that Magus should be in.

If we all work together to overcome the difficulties, the new era ushered in by humankind will surely surpass all previous eras in prosperity.

So...

"Come out, everyone. Aren't you tired of hiding there?"

After a long while, he chuckled softly, then turned his head slightly to look at the three figures peeking out from the corner of the courtyard.

Because she was caught spying, Gray looked a little ashamed, while Reines naturally made excuses for herself and started to act coquettishly, which made Rovey feel a little helpless. He then reached out and called them to sit down next to him so that they could witness the appearance of dawn together.

Afterwards, they leaned against each other and enjoyed this rare moment of peace.

As the evening breeze blew, Rovey began to tell them his story from this period of time.

Gradually, I heard several steady breaths.

Finally, dawn broke.

A faint light appeared on the distant horizon. From here, the shattered sky from last night had been dyed golden, and at the edge of the line of sight, one could even see the light and shadow of a few remaining stars.

The entire land was shrouded in a hazy light, as if it had been cleansed and rejuvenated.

Until the first ray of sunlight pierced the night sky and entered Rovey's eyes, illuminating the entire courtyard where he was, illuminating everything.

He patted the three sleeping girls beside him, then raised his hand and reached out to grab the sunlight. Although he knew he couldn't grab anything, he smiled with satisfaction as if he had grabbed something.

Good morning, Clock Tower. Good morning, world full of tragedy.

"I have already grasped a new future."

Chapter 159 My First Kiss is Gone!

"Well, why do you always look so sad? In the end, aren't you the one who won in the end?"

Even Rovey hadn't sensed when someone had gotten so close. A familiar woman's voice echoed in his ears, coming from behind him. Undoubtedly, she had seen everything Rovey had just done and said.

Rovey slowly turned his head, looking behind him.
