Chapter 177: Soul Refining Banner! Ten Million Vengeful Spirits and Malevolent Ghosts! Buried!
Mui tried to calm herself down so she wouldn’t react as Horobi had. She walked up to Ren and asked in a pleading tone, "Please, why do you want to kill my brother?" Mui, this small girl, was also a poor person being used.
Ren placed his large hand on her head. Mui surprisingly didn’t dodge. For short-tempered people like Horobi, he would be very impatient. But for a well-behaved little girl, he was still very patient. Ren didn’t speak; he chose the simplest way to tell her the truth.
"Dominator." His eyes transford into starlight, drawing Saiki Kusuo’s attention. He felt a ntal power so strong it was imasurable. Ren transmitted Biba Amatori’s mories into Mui’s mind. He also gave Horobi a mory package as well. The two were stunned, digesting the mories.
That left Yomogawa Aya. Ren lifted the ti stop on her. "Everyone, hurry! The Armored Train is about to..." Her vigorous commanding voice suddenly stopped. Yomogawa Aya looked around. Wasn’t I on the Armored Train? How did I suddenly end up on the streets of Aragane Station? Confused for a mont, Yomogawa Aya quickly noticed the anomaly. A world where everything had stopped. The gazes of the few people around her. The eerily motionless Kurusu Konochi and Biba Amatori, and Horobi floating in the air. She was more concerned about her bodyguard at the mont and anxiously asked, "Excuse , what happened here? Is this the world after death?"
Ren ignored her for now. Instead, he also released Kurusu Konochi and Biba Amatori from their ti stasis.
"Hahaha! I will be invincible in this world!" Biba Amatori’s sudden maniacal laughter startled a few people. Ren and Horobi, who had co back to their senses, both looked at him with indescribable gazes. Ren understood that he was just a pawn and also knew the true identity of the Biba Amatori before him. Horobi felt a pang of heartache. She was different from Ren. Ren was simply being used. He simply trusted Biba Amatori. Horobi had never blindly trusted Biba from the start. Instead, she followed him after learning of his true intentions. Her feelings for Biba were a mix of fear and admiration. Her heart also yearned for a response. It wasn’t until she saw Biba Amatori’s mories that she realized how ridiculous she had been. She had always thought that the ignorant and exploited Ren was pitiful. She never expected that she herself was just a slightly larger wretch. In Biba Amatori’s heart, her value was even less than Ren’s. She was rely a chess piece that could be used, discarded, or killed at will. Moreover... the person before her was no longer Biba Amatori.
Ren and the others almost couldn’t hold back their laughter when they heard Biba Amatori’s loud laugh. Soon, both the stunned Kurusu Konochi and the smug Biba Amatori realized that sothing was amiss. Before they could speak, they heard Ren say, "Show your power, let see what your demonic cultivation truly is."
"How could I be here?" This was the common thought in both their minds. Compared to Kurusu Konochi’s calmness, when Biba Amatori saw the strange surroundings, his first reaction was to frantically look around for sothing. "Where’s my Soul-Refining Banner?!"
"Are you talking about this?" An old, tattered banner appeared in Ren’s hand.
"The Soul-Refining Banner!" Biba Amatori’s eyes glinted fiercely; that was his Soul-Refining Banner, which he had painstakingly refined. Who knows what he had gone through? After dying, he was reincarnated into this backward world. However, he found that all his strength was gone, but fortunately, this world was a paradise for him as a demonic cultivator. A vast number of dead people and weak humans! All of them were nutrients for his growth. To quickly increase his strength, he sent away all the Hunters who could threaten him in his weak period. He set up a Soul-Refining Array in the city. By introducing Kabane, he refined an entire city’s Kabane and humans into a Soul-Refining Banner. Afterwards, he refined several other cities and stations. As long as he got the Soul-Refining Banner, he would be invincible in this world! He would return to his peak!
Kurusu Konochi looked at the Soul-Refining Banner in disbelief. Why would there be a Soul-Refining Banner in this world? The Soul-Refining Array I set up in Aragane Station clearly hasn’t been activated yet! And the number of souls on this Soul-Refining Banner doesn’t seem to be sothing the population of Aragane Station could possess. How many people would that take?
"Give it back to !" Biba Amatori shouted almost maniacally; that was his life’s work!
"Here you go." Ren tossed the Soul-Refining Banner to him, with an expression that seed to say, "Start your performance." Biba Amatori caught the Soul-Refining Banner. He was montarily stunned. He just gave the Soul-Refining Banner? But after only a brief mont of confusion, Biba Amatori’s lips curled into a wild, unrestrained grin. "Hahaha, you’ll regret this. Let show you my true power." His body rose into the air, and he waved the Soul-Refining Banner in his hand. In the clear sky, dark clouds rolled in, like night falling. Biba Amatori’s aura rapidly soared. A chilling aura perated the sky. Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the dark clouds, casting a hazy light and shadow on the ground.
In this silent world, a piercing shriek suddenly ripped through the night sky, sending shivers down one’s spine. The sound was like the wailing of a thousand wronged souls, filled with endless pain and anger. They writhed and struggled in the darkness, as if trying to escape this world of suffering. "Ah!" "Woo!" "Roar!" The wails rose and fell, intertwining with each other, forming an extrely terrifying scene. As the wails spread, the surrounding air seed to beco increasingly oppressive. A chilling sensation surged from all directions, making one feel as if they were in a frozen world. Leaves trembled in the wind, as if weeping in sorrow for the endless grievances of these wronged souls. The earth quaked amidst the mournful roars, as if disturbed by the suffering of these wronged souls.
Amidst the wailing of these thousands of wronged souls, Ren and the others couldn’t help but recall the tragic past events that had occurred on this land. The people who were massacred, those who turned into Kabane. Their grievances and anger converged into a powerful force, transforming into this terrifying wailing, narrating their pain to everyone. In this horrifying scene, Mikasa and the others couldn’t help but feel an indescribable fear. Amidst the wailing of these thousands of wronged souls, they seed to see the twisted faces of those wronged souls and hear their painful cries.
Ren and Horobi, who had learned of Biba Amatori’s mories, stared blankly at Biba Amatori. He destroyed several stations and cities. He refined the souls of living people and Kabane together into the Soul-Refining Banner in his hand. Those souls would never be able to reincarnate.
"Hehehehe, this is my power!" Biba Amatori shrieked, as if he had devoured several Soul Hall elders in one al. His body was enveloped by thousands of wailing soul-ghosts.
Kurusu Konochi’s throat bobbed. "A perfected Soul-Refining Banner!" That would require tens of millions of people to refine, how did he do it?
Vivi shivered. "So scary."
Mikasa also gripped the sword in her hand. "What are all these?"
Even the emotionally detached Saiki Kusuo was sowhat angry at this mont. "Those are souls." He had seen souls through Toritsuka Reita. The souls of the deceased were all peaceful, at most repeating their past life’s obsessions. But these thousands of souls screaming in pain, it was hard to imagine what they were experiencing.
Seitenshi: "This person... killed so many people."
Ren nodded. "His sins, I could feel them from afar." "But this power is purely the power transford from wronged souls. If we didn’t co and let him continue, all the humans on the surface would be refined by him." "You’ve finished your performance, now die."
Ren gently squeezed his palm. "Hehehehe... Gaa!" Biba Amatori, who was laughing maniacally just a second ago, seed to have sothing stuck in his throat. His face instantly turned pale. His body suddenly stiffened, and the smile on his lips froze at that mont, as if ti had stopped. Biba Amatori’s throat was seized by fate. "Ah ah ah ah ah!" He let out a foul-slling scream. Air currents drilled into his body through his mouth, nose, and ears. Biba Amatori began to inflate like an inflated balloon.
Imdiately after, boom! Biba Amatori exploded. He exploded into fragnts of blood and flesh. But his flesh and blood could not be scattered onto the earth. The wronged souls that had erged from the Soul-Refining Banner, like vicious dogs that had discovered food, devoured his blood, flesh, and bones completely.
Ren and Horobi stared blankly at this scene, yet no one stopped it. There was both disappointnt in Biba Amatori and the fact that Biba Amatori was already dead.
"How is that possible?!" Kurusu Konochi’s body trembled. A demonic cultivator with a perfected Soul-Refining Banner exploded in an instant, without even a chance to resist. He knew, these people were ultimate iron plates!
Clatter! The vengeful spirits that had devoured Biba Amatori’s flesh stread through the sky, and the out-of-control Soul-Refining Banner fell before Kurusu Konochi. Ren narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile, "Do you want to put on a show?" Kurusu Konochi’s eyelid twitched. He patted his head, looking pained and confused. Seemingly having regained consciousness, he imdiately asked the stunned Yomogawa Aya with concern, "Lady Yomogawa, are you uninjured?"
"Huh?" Mikasa and Vivi blinked in confusion. What’s going on? This person doesn’t seem to be a demonic cultivator?
