The irresistible power clad in Negary’s power of impurity spread into its surrounding, easily breaking through the defensive arrays created by Shennai’s power of impurity.
After all, the power that was able to fuel the Path of Error and halt the invasion of the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon was fully withdrawn by Negary to form a [Dragon’s Pressure] domain and unleash a [Dracotongue] attack, how could Shennai possibly defend against it?
Shennai’s body shot backwards, bleeding the golden blood of the Divine race from all over his body, it was almost like dazzling liquid gold or molten gold.
〖 Putting a crucial point of your survival on the flimsy hope that another would or would not do a certain thing, how foolish! 〗Negary spoke in disappointment.
〖 So this is already your limit? 〗Negary’s Dragon of Eternal Sin form slowly faded as he walked towards Shennai in his human form.
「 You are in the very same boat as us, this world can no longer be saved. Without a source of power, that defensive barrier is rendered useless, Godfather’s power has already infiltrated this world, even if you put the barrier back up right now, it would still do you no good. Everything in this world, including you, is finished! 」
Shennai laid in a pool of his own blood and gunk, the black cloak he wore was tattered like rags, his 5-meter-tall Divine body was like a bag full of holes, in a state where he could die at any moment.
His glittering golden blood flowed like streams from all over his body, but unlike the dragon from before, he didn’t have an ability to revive himself. Even if he somehow managed to revive now, it would only be a different organism with his memories.
〖 That is none of your concern 〗Negary didn’t approach him too closely, he simply used his Disasforce to thoroughly destroy what remained of his body.
Unless one had a unique racial feature or [Origin] ability, the death of the body would also signify the death of a life.
The connection that linked the soul to the [Origin] would break, the [Origin] would return to how it was. Perhaps not too long later, it would reincarnate and derive a new life, a new soul; but whether or not that new life could be considered to be the same being was completely debatable.
After he extracted Shennai’s remnant soul, Negary cut off his own hand, that portion of flesh morphed into the shape of a box that stored Shennai’s remnant soul inside without absorbing it.
There would be no telling what kind of traps that a member of the Divine race who had achieved the third stage of release would be able to set up in their soul; one wrong step and Negary might be infected by Shennai’s consciousness, through which he could take over his soul and resurrect.
Negary had also made similar modifications to his own soul. If somehow his soul fell under the control of someone else, and they tried to study his soul, there would be a very real chance where they were corrupted by Negary’s willpower and have their body taken over.
Compared to that, Negary was a lot more straightforward as an existence, since he had no [Origin], everything that he currently owned fully belonged only to himself.
As he once said, Negary himself was a kind of meaning, a goal for others to pursue; when some deep portion within Fang Ze’s heart was infected and formed the Negary personality, that personality would also be none other than Negary himself.
Anyone could have a Negary in their heart!
Once Negary had carefully put Shennai’s remnant soul away, the embodiment of storm, Samira, had already left somewhere far, even Killer J and the others who had supposedly offended him were ignored.
After the power of the Path of Error was siphoned by Negary, the defensive barrier had already lost its effect. The sound of battle resounded from faraway, even at this distance, Alkman’s furious roars were still audible.
A transparent figure appeared in front of Negary not too far away, it was An Ping. He had borrowed the [Temporal Displacement] Authority to create a fake body. His face full of anger, no longer feigning the humility from before as he was considerably displeased with Negary decommissioning the Path of Error.
[You’ve broken our agreement, Wang Yuan!] An Ping coldly said: [Since that’s the case, we will revoke your Source Pool authority. You will perish with this world, as you who had killed both a member of the Divine race and Dragon race will no longer be accepted in the Burning Crusade!]
After saying so, An Ping’s faint figure disappeared, as if his only reason for coming here was to deliver his final sentence.
〖 How interestingly said 〗Negary focused his mind and found that his authority to access the Source Pool really was being peeled away bit by bit. If he acted right now and robbed it, he still might be able to steal enough of the world’s Source Energy to use the [Otherworld Invasion] Authority and travel to another world.
However, Negary completely ignored it and simply watched as the other party stripped him of his authority.
Anyone could be a traitor, one could even betray oneself as long as there was enough benefit.
A truly wise superior would never give their subordinate the chance to betray them. Like how Negary treated Noah and Killer J, constantly holding numerous contingency plans for each of them. Even when they worshipped him with all their hearts, every once in a while Negary would still spend the time to reinforce their relations.
Negary didn’t believe for a single moment that an old monster who had lived through several cycles like An Ping would not understand this principle, being so confident with Negary that he wasn’t restrained a single time until he had essentially dispelled the Path of Error for his own gains.
This could only mean that An Ping was an utter fool, or that he had ulterior motives.
Right after the fact, An Ping had even specifically come to tell him that his authority would be removed, but the speed that they were removing it wasn’t fast nor was it slow.
It was as if they were urging Negary to quickly connect to the Source Pool, quickly use the [Otherworld Invasion] Authority and hurry up to leave this world.
Human intelligence was variable, once they had no other choice, the foolishness of humans could be predicted; even if an action was stupid beyond any doubts, they would still attempt it without question.
For example, when many people were being scammed through crowdfunding campaigns, even if you told them that it was a hoax and that there would be no way it would be that profitable, they would still refuse to believe you, simply because their money was already invested and they had no other choice but to believe.
If anyone else was in Negary’s current shoes and found out about this supposed ‘last chance’ to escape this world, even if they knew that there might be issues, they would still subconsciously refute it, consoling themselves that there was still a chance and step straight into a trap.
A person directly involved would almost never see through everything. It was best not to believe one’s own intelligence with absolute confidence, because that thing could be thrown to the dogs at any moment without you knowing it.
However, they were looking down on Negary too much, as a monster who lived to complement his own shortcomings, these psychological tricks were things that Negary himself employed on a regular basis, there was no way he wouldn’t watch out for things like these.
Not to mention, Negary had never intended to travel to another world using the [Otherworld Invasion] Authority in the first place.
It was the same as what he had thought before, everything provided for the sake of travelling to another world was prepared by the other party, so they had more than enough room to sabotage or interfere with it however they wished.
“How regretful, he didn’t try it” An Ping sighed and no longer hesitated. He thoroughly stripped the Source Pool authority from Negary.
Negary then sensed his connection with the Negary inside Fang Ze’s heart and the [Otherworld Invasion] Authority to both be severed at once.
The Path of Error was restarted, this time, even Negary was being repelled by the Path of Error.
