Chapter 330: Belonging to God - Soul Shocks the Sky
With a slight raise of his hand, the music box scattered among various sundries floated into Li Yu's hands. This dusty music box seemed to be made of ordinary wood.
Some of the patterns that are quite characteristic of the Susterian civilization have faded and are not very clear.
When trying to open the music box, Li Yu did not encounter any obstruction, but the music box seemed to have some kind of problem and did not make any sound.
This thing... Li Yu frowned. At this moment, Stanley, who had also been staring at the music box, suddenly frowned. He heard a faint whisper in his ears, as if a voice was tempting him to touch the music box.
Stanley shuddered all over and hurriedly reported the matter to Li Yu.
"Oh?" Li Yu became interested. This thing didn't seduce him, but he went to seduce Stanley. Is he bullying the weak and fearing the strong?
However, because of Stanley's report, he roughly understood that this thing should work on the spiritual level.
After scanning with the Force, I found that a layer of spiritual energy field was wrapped around the music box, like an invisible coating, which had a certain defensive power.
Li Yu wanted to see what was inside, so he used the Force to form a drill to break through the spiritual energy field of the music box. However, as soon as the Force touched the music box itself.
I felt a strong suction force, and a large amount of Force was swallowed up, like a drop in the ocean, and I could no longer sense it.
"Interesting..." Li Yu was in high spirits. He asked everyone to step back and decided to take the simplest and most brutal method.
He exerted force with his five fingers and crushed the hard music box into pieces.
"ah--"
Everyone present felt that the moment the music box shattered, a powerful spiritual wave exploded.
The rest of the people turned pale and covered their various hearing organs, but it was of no use. The piercing screams in their heads caused them mental damage.
The mental scream that sounded in the mind revealed a sense of excitement and excitement, as if a person who had been imprisoned for many years was finally seeing the light of day again!
call--
It was as if a storm had formed on the spot, and a dim phantom gradually took shape.
There are no facial features or body details, just a shadow, but the shape is strange and unique.
It looked like a humanoid creature with countless twisted hands and feet, whose shape was constantly changing and exuded a terrifying aura, like a ghost or god in the legends of some planetary civilization.
“Food…food…”
The mental fluctuations spread out, and without language, everyone could understand the meaning of this phantom creature.
An inexplicable sense of fear arose in everyone's heart, even Stanley and others could not avoid it. Only Li Yu stood still and was not affected.
“Is it… the demon soul!?”
Anthony and the others' expressions changed drastically, all of them were filled with horror. None of them knew that there was an evil soul hidden in the music box.
Carol then came to her senses and suddenly realized that the situation in front of her had suddenly changed again. When did that monster in the air appear?
Shit... No, it's the damn demon soul. How could the demon soul appear outside the Ancient Channel?! Carol was shocked and hadn't figured out what was going on.
Just looking at this phantom made them feel a palpitation. The special waves it emitted made them feel dizzy and their spirits were shocked.
"Demonic Soul?" Li Yu heard the exclamations of Carol and others. Stanley suppressed the horror in his heart and passed the information he had just purchased in the Snake's Nest to Li Yu.
Among them is information about the demon soul, a kind of spiritual monster that "frequently" appears in ancient waterways.
This so-called frequent is also compared with other disasters.
This monster would inexplicably appear in a spaceship sailing in the ancient channel, and then devour all the active spiritual consciousnesses in it, leaving only empty shells.
Because it is a spiritual body, it is almost immune to physical attacks. For lower-level life forms, it is a dimensionality reduction attack.
However, it is precisely because of this characteristic that the Demon Soul is coveted by many large forces and is often captured. The Meditation Research Institute has published many papers on this.
Many uses of this thing are listed, mainly useful for mental power, but most of them are guesses and there are not many real research results.
However, the demon souls are difficult to capture, and no one knows the pattern of their appearance. They are very rare.
The music box itself is a sealed container. The demon soul has been trapped inside for who knows how long, with no contact with the outside world at all. It is now very weak and in an extremely hungry state.
As soon as he was freed, he looked around for a while and then rushed towards Carol and others impatiently, his mental fluctuations conveying an extremely hungry emotion.
In his eyes, these people are just walking meals.
"Quick! The demon soul is coming!"
Carol, Stanley and the others' faces tightened and they quickly grabbed their weapons, launching all kinds of attacks at the demon soul.
However, these attacks had very limited effects on the demon soul.
Most of the attacks penetrated through his body. Only the attacks from Stanley and others were attached with the Force and could cause limited damage to him.
Despite the massive attacks, the Demon Soul was basically unharmed. It twisted its strange body and quickly approached Carol.
Seeing that the strange evil spirit was about to stick to him, Carol's face changed drastically and he retreated in panic.
brush!
At this moment, a golden chain suddenly pierced through the Demon Soul from behind. The Demon Soul immediately stopped and began to tremble violently.
A large number of golden runes escaped from Li Yu's hands and formed a golden chain that pierced through the demon soul.
Although the other party is an A-level spiritual body, he is a real god.
Possessing A-level mental power only means having the foundation to become a god.
It takes a lot of effort to become a real god. Li Yu was able to become a god only due to various coincidences.
The golden runes continued to spread inside the Demon Soul's body. Rickaro and the others saw that they could not harm the Demon Soul that was bearing their attacks. The Demon Soul was severely hit by a thin beam of light and was shaking violently, as if it was struggling frantically, like a fish that was skewered but not yet dead.
The frequency of the mental fluctuations emitted by the demon soul revealed a strong sense of despair and unwillingness, which infected everyone's hearts with the same emotion, as if they saw a beast at the end of its road howling and wailing, and they couldn't help but feel sad for him.
Just escaped from the wolf's den, and fell into the tiger's mouth...this is too unlucky!
"God... God... You are God!" The demon soul let out a miserable howl. This kind of mental fluctuation allowed everyone to clearly understand what he meant.
The demon soul has extremely high intelligence. In fact, it is difficult for a creature of this level not to have intelligence.
Spirit? Carol and the others could not help but cast horrified eyes at the masked man. They had been active in the ancient waterways of the Amethyst Civilization for many years.
They were too far away from the Glorious Parliament, and the word "gods" was unfamiliar to them.
"Let me go... I am willing to be your subordinate god!?" The demon soul begged for mercy, and its painful mental fluctuations were transmitted to the minds of the others at the same time, making them unable to help but sympathize.
Looking at the motionless Li Yu, they had an illusion that the masked man was the boss and the Demon Soul was just a victim .
Come on, spiritual brother, you must succeed!
This inexplicable thought was dispelled by everyone. It was only because of the spiritual infection passively emitted by the evil soul that made him feel this way.
"A god?" Li Yu paused for a moment, then looked up and down at the Demon Soul. This thing was dark and didn't look very good.
He has always been somewhat resistant to things that don't look very good.
However, he didn't know what the use of killing this thing would be, and he was not a professional. He couldn't ask him to carry this thing to the Meditation Research Institute.
If he could make it his own god, he could also pick up an A-level combat force for free, so this defect in appearance could be acceptable.
However, Li Yu is a half-baked god and has no idea how to transform into a subordinate god. But in front of the devil soul, he must not let the other party know to avoid any hidden dangers.
His eyes moved slightly, but he still maintained his movements. The golden runes suppressed the demon soul, and he said in a deep voice: "Let me see your sincerity!"
In the face of life and death crisis, the demon soul did not dare to hesitate at all, and immediately sent out a spiritual wave: "Please tell me your divine name, I am willing to open my spiritual defense and let you leave the mark of the god!"
Through this sentence, Li Yu roughly knew how to turn the other party into his own god.
The most important thing in becoming godly is not the method, but whether the other party is willing.
Those who belong to God are not believers, and their main role is not to provide faith, but fighting power.
After informing himself of his divine name, the demon soul also began to open up his mental defenses, revealing his spiritual core.
This is the product of the manifestation of mental power after reaching A-level spiritual body, and what the gods show is what Li Yu calls godhood.
The so-called mark of God, for Li Yu, should be the fire source rune.
A large number of golden runes merged into the opponent's spiritual core. The demon soul howled miserably again, and mental fluctuations continued to dissipate, forcing Stanley and others to retreat again.
Then, under the gaze of everyone, those golden runes began to spread along the hideous and twisted body of the demon soul, as if undergoing some special transformation.
Wisps of black mist dissipated, and the body of the demon soul was no longer twisted. Instead, it began to exude a sense of holiness.
The mechanical parts around it trembled, and poured into the body of the demon soul from all directions, then dissolved into liquid and began to form a new body.
This lasted for about half an hour, and all the metal in the entire snake's nest had been consumed, and the place had completely become a flat land.
A new body of the Demon Soul was born. It had a human-like appearance and was about the same height as Li Yu. It was platinum metallic in color, with mechanical structures at the joints fitting together, and streamlined limbs that were perfectly built according to the golden ratio.
He looked at his new body in a daze, then looked at Li Yu who was not far away, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully: "Great Yuanshi Tianzun, please give me a new name."
Although the demon soul became Li Yu's subordinate god, he did not become fanatical. He still retained his own thoughts. The greatest significance of a subordinate god to the main god lies in fighting rather than providing faith.
Li Yu pondered for a moment, then grinned and said, "Let's call you Hun Zhentian."
The demon soul raised his head and said in a deep voice: "From now on my name will be Hun Zhentian!"
The surging breath spread out, announcing his new life. As Li Yu's subordinate god, he completed the transformation with the help of the Fire Source Rune and once again possessed a material body, although it was a mechanical body.
Carol, Stanley, Anthony and others stared in amazement at the incredible scene before them.
How did the hideous and twisted Hun Zhentian become like this?
At their level, they are still unable to reach the level of gods, and they have no idea what Li Yu is doing.
Although Hun Zhentian has a mechanized body, his combat power is mainly concentrated in his mental strength.
If you don't have a way to deal with mental power, you will probably suffer a great loss when facing him.
Since the demon soul has become one of his own, Li Yu pondered for a moment and asked: "Are you from the Suster civilization?"
"Suster... Such a familiar name..." Hun Zhentian was a little confused. If he was from the Suster civilization, then he had existed for more than 100,000 years.
This is a very long time for a spiritual being without a physical body.
"...I don't know where I come from, but I seem to remember the Suster civilization." Hun Zhentian explained:
"A civilization that has no idea of the immensity of heaven and earth attempted to create a ninth-level spiritual being."
"Ninth-level spiritual body..." Li Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. The division of mental strength into levels is a tradition passed down by the Titan civilization.
Li Yu is only a fifth-level spiritual body now. Apart from slowly improving his spiritual power through faith, Li Yu currently has no conventional method to improve his spiritual power.
As for Stanley and Anthony, they were even more confused.
"I don't know the specific details, but the price paid for this was the destruction of the entire civilization." Hun Zhentian shook his head, and then the mechanical brows frowned and hesitantly said: "It seems that our spiritual body was born because of this."
He recalled some memory fragments again. They were indeed from the Suster civilization, but they were not the spiritual bodies of living creatures after death.
They seemed to possess some kind of immortal quality that allowed them to exist for such a long time, but this also caused their consciousness to be distorted, and they became one of the scourges of the Ancient Channel.
The original location of the Suster civilization was not within the ancient waterway.
But for some unknown reason, tens of thousands of years after its destruction, some inexplicable relics appeared in the ancient waterway.
The demon soul has become a well-known disaster among them.
Li Yu pondered for a moment and felt that he was afraid that those large civilizations knew the origin of the Demon Soul very well and even had more information.
Because of Hun Zhentian's devouring, all the obstructions around the snake's nest disappeared.
The battle here just now has attracted many villains from the Lant Hub to gather here. They stretched their heads to see clearly what was happening and whether there was any chance to take advantage of the situation.
Li Yu looked around and ordered , "Take everyone away from here first."
Stanley received the order, and then he and Olena escorted Carol, Anthony and others away.
Faced with Li Yu's powerful strength, they naturally did not dare to resist.
Carol sighed, wondering how the situation had turned out like this.
Anthony lowered his head, his pupils shrinking from time to time, and it was unknown what he was thinking about.
