Chapter 869: Heaven Mountain and Capricorn Technique - Lyon's Special Edition
In the main hall of the Capricorn Palace...
"Aquarius..."
As Lyon, who was holding onto a thousand-eyed angel's pure white feathered wing and unleashing the Capricorn Technique with all his might, the Capricorn Director responsible for maintaining the Heaven Pathway couldn't help but speak up, "Perhaps... we should put this technique on hold for now?"
"Aquarius, my previous judgment might have been a tad... well, a bit hasty. You might not be as suitable for learning the Anomaly Purification Technique of the Capricorn Palace as I initially thought."
"Of course, I'm not saying you're incapable. As a genius comparable to the Third Generation Director, your talent for techniques and personal character are impeccable. But with techniques, it's also a matter of fate. Sometimes, it's not just about having the talent."
"How about this: if you really want to learn it, I won't stop you, but this process takes time. We don't have to master it all at once, right?"
"Aquarius? Are you listening to me?"
"Hmm?"
After successfully purifying the constantly struggling thousand-eyed angel, Lyon wiped the sweat from his forehead. He then removed the Silence Bean from his ear and turned back, asking with a puzzled expression, "Sir Capricorn? What did you just say?"
"I was saying that we don't have to master the technique all at once. We can continue learning it in our free time later... Well, did you just completely purify an angel? Have you mastered it already?"
"I... guess I have?" Lyon replied.
Hearing the Capricorn Director's question, Lyon turned to look at the howling Hundred-Eyed Demon. He reached out and pinched the wings that had transformed into bat-like appendages. Then, with a slightly uncertain tone, he said, "It's different from the others. When I continued to apply the Anomaly Purification Technique on it, it didn't react further. I guess that means the purification is complete? Well, its appearance changed a bit."
"..."
Is this just a 'bit' of a change? Its entire race has transformed!
Looking at the 'Thousand-Eyed Angel' above his head, now with four spiral horns and six pairs of pitch-black bat wings, screeching at him and Aquarius, the Capricorn Director's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
As the primary divine creature of Heaven Mountain, angels are divided into nine 'tribes,' each representing a different power. The angel he had captured for Aquarius to practice on was a 'Hesitation' angel from the nine tribes, possessing considerable strength before it was corrupted.
This six-winged, thousand-eyed angel, with its unusual appearance, represented supreme wisdom and a gaze that pierced through sins. Although its appearance was somewhat fearsome, and it had become a ferocious creature after corruption, losing its divine intellect, it still retained the unique sacred aura of a divine creature.

However, after Lyon's 'purification' efforts, this six-winged, thousand-eyed Hesitation angel had successfully shed its sacred burden and completely transformed into a terrifying and hideous demon. Its divine aura couldn't be said to have weakened significantly; it had completely vanished!
Is this what you call Anomaly Purification? Is this how the technique of the Capricorn Palace is supposed to be used?
Gazing at the 'Thousand-Eyed Demon' that Lyon had just created, the Capricorn Director, who was on the verge of shouting, suppressed his urge again and again. Finally, with a twitching mouth, he asked, "So... what exactly did you purify this time?"
"Er... I purified its schizophrenia?" Lyon replied sheepishly.
"When you brought it here, one-third of the time it was chanting holy hymns, one-third it was babbling incoherent dreams, and the remaining third it was muttering profanities. It kept changing its behavior."
But now it no longer speaks of such things, and its state... well... seems much more stable than before. I suppose this could also be considered a form of purification?"
"..."
Indeed, after your purification, the state of this Hesitation Angel has stabilized significantly... so much so that it wants to destroy everything it sees!
"Alright..."
The Capricorn Director, at a loss for words, uttered one of his shortest sentences in days and waved his hand, pushing the 'purified' Hesitation Angel into the Paradise Path, sending it back to Heaven Mountain through the white pillar of light.
"Sir Capricorn."
After watching the Hesitation Angel being taken away by the Paradise Path, Lyon couldn't help but blink and asked,
"That angel has turned into an evil... er... a rather uniquely-looking type, and its destructive desires are particularly strong. Is it appropriate to send it back to Heaven Mountain like this?"
"It's fine. Anyway, that place is now filled with polluted lunatics, and there were never any normal living creatures there. If it goes back and kills some of them, it'll be doing me a favor."
The Capricorn Director shook his head slightly, his expression a mix of emotions as he explained,
"That place used to be a land of eternal life without death. As long as Heaven Mountain itself isn't destroyed, all divine beings who die there will be resurrected in the pool at the peak of Heaven Mountain.
This includes the angel you... purified."
This was originally not a big deal, but after the entire Heaven Mountain was polluted, the angels and divine beings resurrected from the pool all went mad. They would capture any rational creatures and throw them into the pool, attempting to create more companions like themselves. And no matter how many times they were killed, more would appear.
So, the best solution for now is to use the purification technique of Capricorn Palace to 'purify' these insane divine beings, erasing all their powers. Once we've accumulated enough, we'll kill them in one go and deplete the resurrection water in the pool at the peak of Heaven Mountain.
Then, while the pool is dry, I'll enter Heaven Mountain for purification. Over the past thirty years... well... never mind that. Aquarius, how exactly does your technique work?"
Glancing at the dozens of Lionborn Demons piled up like a small mountain in the main hall of Capricorn Palace, the Capricorn Director threw these newly born demons, who were constantly roaring and howling, back into Heaven Mountain. With a strained expression, he asked,
"The angels you purified neither temporarily escaped the pollution to regain their sanity nor lost their powers and had their 'anomaly' purified. Instead, they all transformed from angels into demons. I... I don't understand how this happened."
"..."
Coincidentally, not only do you not understand, but I don't either... However, the Capricorn Technique badge is now in my possession, so I guess learning this technique wasn't a waste.
Lyon glanced at the newly acquired [Capricorn Technique Inheritor] status, which he had obtained after 'purifying' the Thousand-Eyed Angel, and gave the Capricorn Director an apologetic look. He then replied vaguely,
"I'm not entirely sure either, but I recall that the source of the pollution in Heaven Mountain was the evil pus from the deepest part of the Abyss. So, for these angels... well... I might have purified their angelic nature, which inadvertently caused this effect.
I'm just stating one possibility; I don't really know the specifics."
