"Fine, I can consu souls myself, and so can you... Oh? You don’t want this normal one?" Zheng Yichen grasped a soul fragnt, left behind by the slain ordinary beast, the white ball spat it out with disinterest.
It was also disinterested in the souls of regular wild animals, even the more complete ones. It only cared for the souls of Evil Spirits and ntal Aberration creatures. As for similar souls, Zheng Yichen didn’t have any at hand to make a comparison.
"Hoo~" Inside the house, Rebecca discreetly watched as Zheng Yichen and Alice’s attention wasn’t on her, she let out a soft breath, intending to sneak away. But just as she was opening another window, a cat appeared before her eyes.
It made Rebecca instinctively look back. In her mory, this black cat was transford by Zheng Yichen!
But Zheng Yichen was still in the original spot, so what’s the deal with this black cat? What scared Rebecca was that this cat also emitted faint black curse energy. She didn’t understand what that power was, but rely looking at it made her physically uncomfortable.
"Hello there." Rebecca’s greeting to the cat was sowhat reluctant, and the black cat responded by unsheathing its claws, lightly scratching the ground and leaving several ten-ter-long marks.
The girl completely abandoned any thought of fleeing.
"You sure can eat a lot." Zheng Yichen clapped his hands, looking sowhat troubled at the white ball beside him that seed to never stop eating. He had fed it almost all of the ntal Aberration and Evil Spirit soul fragnts he had.
This ant that the minor increases he had gained from collecting a massive number of souls had almost been nullified.
Well, there was no helping it. He was already quite powerful, and the souls suppressed in the fishing rod were mostly ’weak’, compared to him. The number only brought a slight increase, but it was still noticeable. If there were millions or tens of millions of souls inside, the improvent would be terrifying.
At the mont, there weren’t that many. The white ball had eaten a lot, and so were used as summoning ritual materials.
He pinched the white ball, which had eaten so much it could even float slightly now.
It was still staring at the fragnt in Zheng Yichen’s hand.
"Here you go." Zheng Yichen tossed the fragnt to the white ball, which imdiately spread out its body to swallow it.
The tiny creature spasd continuously, with crimson blotches inside its white body that looked like red dates stuffed in a rice cake.
The white ball didn’t spit out the fragnt, its body kept wriggling on the table. Zheng Yichen reached out to pinch it, the texture was still pleasantly soft, but after withdrawing his hand, he noticed a large red mark on his palm.
The redness faded quickly in his touch, not like the direct contact with the fragnt, but still had a significant effect on living beings.
"What’s going on with it that it can withstand a fragnt that seems to belong to the Great Evil God?"
Alice watched the wriggling white ball curiously, Zheng Yichen took another glance at the lady, "I think your condition is more serious; you look like you’re about to undergo tamorphosis."
"No, I have never felt this wonderful before, don’t worry about ." Alice, emitting whisps of smoke, said firmly, "I’m very aware of my condition!"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes!"
"Alright..." Seeing the lady turn obstinate, Zheng Yichen shook his head. He didn’t have Alice’s past experiences in this world, so he couldn’t comnt on her choices at this ti. Zheng Yichen did wonder if there was sothing wrong with the Heroic Spirit, exerting so ntal influence on Alice.
This thing possessed the characteristics of the Great Evil God ntioned in ancient texts. The image of the Great Evil God is chaotic and undefined, yet so of its traits are universally recognized, much like how Earth’s mythological stories about the hulking Pangu have different representations by different artists.
But there was one detail everyone was clear about: the figure had an axe.
Zheng Yichen snapped his fingers to summon his motorcycle and asked Lilith, "How’s her condition now?"
"Please hold on—" Lilith advised, and so automated chanisms on the motorcycle popped out packets of fast food: "Boss, it’s lunchti. You can have sothing to eat while you wait. You won’t like the food here too much."
Zheng Yichen scooped up a ball of water with his hand and poured it into an open slot on the motorcycle, quickly producing hot water. He skillfully prepared the instant noodles prepared by Lilith; this stuff was no junk food.
Even though it looked similar to normal tub noodles, these were high-grade rations used by the Ahn family’s hunters group.
After Zheng Yichen finished eating, Lilith’s analysis bore results. Alice’s body was undergoing a ’mutation.’ Her Life Force was extraordinary in itself, a Life Force transford by Evil Spirits, and beings like Evil Spirits, lacking a substantial body, thus had no such thing as Life Force.
Alice’s Evil Spirit Life Force was unique, but under the influence of that twelve-handed... well, multi-handed Heroic Spirit, her special Evil Spirit Life Force underwent a ’sublimation,’ much like a chemical reaction. It turned Alice’s Life Force into another quality, albeit not a normal one.
"Like flipping over to the other side."
"Flipping over? That’s an interesting way to put it." Zheng Yichen burned the packaging box in his hand, glanced at Rebecca by the window, who looked slightly disappointed, and threw another box of instant noodles to the young lady. Then a sphere of light appeared in his hand.
Soon, mottled dark spots erged on the globe until it resembled a yin-yang symbol, a coexistence of White Light and Black Light. This was not about light and darkness, but rather a transformation of light itself: white on the front and black on the back, each expressing different characteristics while also sharing so similarities.
Both are light; White Light can amplify positive emotions, heal, and protect, while Black Light has a greater capacity for magnifying negative emotions, causing erosion and imparting superior damage.
"Can she freely flip back after she’s completely flipped?"
"Forgive my bluntness, but she might not have that talent. Not everyone is like you, Boss." Lilith spoke a sobering truth, for now her boss was essentially Alice’s windfall encounter.
Without Zheng Yichen present, Alice would never be able to reverse her Evil Spirit Life Force. If free reversal was possible, the other party wouldn’t have waited until now; the reversal was achieved with external help unless she had a real talent, in which case there might be a possibility of accomplishing such an action in the future.
"Don’t underestimate the potential of people, huh. After she completes the reversal, she’ll be like the ugly duckling that turns into a swan, right?" Thinking of Alice’s previous zombie bride appearance, it seed charming in movies, but facing it in reality was an entirely different matter.
The unusual pallor now displayed by the pale Alice only served to significantly elevate her charm over its original basis.
It was like her score went from sixty to ninety, except for an unnaturally pale complexion and white hair and eyebrows.
As if she had albinism.
"Okay, let’s not waste any more ti; let’s make a trip to Hell first." Zheng Yichen stretched a bit, picked up the white ball resembling a cicada pupa, and hung it on the motorcycle to continue using as a car accessory.
Under Alice’s astonished gaze, he swung the fishing rod in his hand and drew out a door to Hell in the air beside him—the Gate of Death.
The ’zombie bride,’ now turned pale, was at a loss for words, and Rebecca, the young lady, covered her mouth in shock, watching the chaos beyond the Gate of Death where ntal Aberration creatures spurred by the scent of the Mortal Realm crazily tried to break free, only to be driven back by Zheng Yichen with a Hellfire Orb, clearing everything near the Gate of Death.
Watching Zheng Yichen disappear into the Gate of Death, Alice couldn’t help feeling unsettled: "Is that Hell? It certainly lives up to its na."
