Death… and me

Chapter 2171 Continue

Patris was flying outside, still looking for a way inside. Yet, it didn’t matter what he did. There was nothing. Not to mention he was really far away from where Rean released his flying puppets, so he never had the chance to catch one of the jade slips. 

*Tchin*

“Hum?” Patris noticed that a light began to shine near his position, which made him put up his guard straight away. Let’s not forget the ship also had weapons outside. He had to escape from many of them. Yet, he quickly noticed it wasn’t any weapon. Instead, it seemed like the ground further away was opening.

He observed from afar, expecting something to come out. Too bad, though. Nothing appeared after several minutes of waiting. Without another choice, he approached the entrance, seeing that there was nothing inside other than the corridors of the ship. “What to do…”

It seemed too convenient. Yet, after wandering around for so long without a single clue, Patris understood that it wasn’t like he had much of a choice. He gritted his teeth and dashed inside before the door behind him closed. Patris noticed that but didn’t retreat, going deeper into the ship.

Thanks to Rean, the defense system didn’t attack Patris, so he could move around as he wished. “What is happening here?”

It was then that the system made an announcement.

-The Star Continent shall leave this Universe in two hours and thirty minutes. All nonpersonnel must follow the directions provided to get teleported out of the Star Continent.-

It was weird that the Spaceship called itself Star Continent, and that was true. That message wasn’t something the system would say, especially since the name was wrong. It was something Rean ordered the system to tell Patris. With that, he would give Patris a way out of the Spaceship without having to appear to inform Patris directly.

“What?! It will leave this Universe?!” Patris was terrified as he understood what it meant. He also noticed the same holographic arrows that the twins used. “Is this the direction this thing was talking about?”

Back where Rean and Spiegel were staying, they were looking at Patris’ movements through the holographic video. “Will he just follow the directions? It is not like he can just trust anything the system is saying, right?” Rean asked Spiegel.

“Indeed. I definitely wouldn’t simply believe a sudden voice,” Spiegel agreed with Rean. “However, I reckon he will have to believe it whether he wants or not. He doesn’t have a choice. Because of the mind control, the angel race is everything to him. He definitely won’t risk being taken away from the Heaven Realm without permission.”

Rean then closed the holographic video. “Well, I did what I could. It is up to him now, senior Spiegel. Worst case scenario, he will leave this Universe with this Spaceship.”

Spiegel nodded. “That’s more than enough. Thank you.”

-Mental comparison analysis concluded.-

The system then called out for their attention. “What were the results?”

-Grade 1 Soul Worm Detected in Hastian’s body.-

“Soul… worm?” Rean, Roan, Luan, and Spiegel had never heard about it. “What is a Soul Worm?”

-Soul Worms are known for their capacity to invade the host’s body without detection. Soul Worms are not natural, needing to be created for use. Also, Soul Worms are extremely frail, so for them to succeed in taking over the host’s Soul, they must be created to match the type of Soul they are targetting.-

“This…” everyone was taken aback. “Does that mean that Angel, whom you don’t know the name of, is creating these worms?”

Spiegel quickly nodded.I think you should take a look at

*Zuuuu…*

Waremis’ pod lid then opened, allowing him to come out. Naturally, he also heard the conversation. “Were there any of these worms inside my Soul?”

-Negative. However, there were signs of a Soul Worm trying to take control in the past. Host Waremis’ Soul does not match the type of Soul necessary for control, although the difference is very subtle. For Soul Worms, though, even the slightest difference is enough to prevent them from succeeding.-

Rean couldn’t help but ask. “How can they get inside one’s soul without being detected?”

-Soul Worms are made of Soul Power. The amount of Soul Power used to create them is incredibly small, making it extremely difficult to detect even if the host already knows they are close. For those unaware, it is the same as they never existing. Soul Worms also have the same power as the one who creates them. That means if the creator’s cultivation realm is higher than the target’s, the target won’t be able to detect it, regardless of knowing about its existence or not.-

“This…” Waremis was truly surprised. “The only ones who could possibly detect the Soul Worms are the Archangels. And even they would most likely fail to do so due to the Soul Worms’ characteristics.”

Rean nodded. “Truly an impressive creation. System, are the other Universes suffering with these kinds of things?”

-Negative. Soul Worms’ existence had long since been found out, and so have the countermeasures to deal with them. Until the moment this Spaceship left the Lingan Universe, Soul Worms were completely given up. They were useless as no one would be caught by them anymore.-

Waremis’s eyes light up in response. “Does that mean you have a way to cure those affected by the worms?”𝓃𝑶𝒱𝞮𝔩𝓊𝔰𝒷.𝒞𝑜𝗆

-Correct.-

*Zuuunn!*

Suddenly, a machine on the other side of the room began to work. Several weird liquids seemed to be mixed as Divine Origin Energy fuelled the machine. It didn’t take more than a few seconds before a vial of purple liquid was delivered by the machine.

“What is this?” Rean asked the system.

-Spatial Soul Spectral Oscillation Liquid. A single drop will dilute in the air and space, spreading around a range of 2 million kilometers. Anyone within this range will acquire a bloodline inherited resistance against the properties of a Soul Worm. No Soul Worm will be able to live inside a Soul that has been in contact with this liquid, nor will the Soul Worms be able to invade any of the descendants of the same being.-

Waremis’s hand trembled as he reached for the vial. A single drop could be used to wake up all the angels within two million kilometers. How could he not be excited?

Rean smiled as he ordered. “System, synthesize as much of this liquid as possible within the next two hours. Use all the machines available near us. The more, the better.”

-Warning: Tens of thousands of tons can be synthesized within the time frame provided. Continue?-

“Tens of thousands of tons…” Waremis and Spiegel gulped after hearing that. “A single drop… two million kilometers… tens of thousands of tons…”

Rean simply nodded. “Yes, continue.”
