I made myself the protagonist

Chapter 343 Imprint
"It turns out that the dangers encountered after saving people and the changes in the plot of the mission are all signs that the second week wants to get rid of me."

Ling Yun suddenly realized.

But even though the situation at that time was dangerous, he could always find a way out in the desperate situation.Of course, that's not because Er Zhoumu was showing mercy, but because he was protected by the rules.

Thinking of this, Ling Yun caressed the tip of his nose, and looked at Ark thoughtfully: "Since you are blatantly showing up now and telling me the whole truth, it means that our secret has been completely exposed."

"That's right. Last time I resurrected you in the Wollaston's attic, it has already sensed my presence." Ark shrugged.

"Then will this implicate other people around me?"

The first thing Ling Yun worried about was not his own safety, but those companions.If they are targeted by the second week's target because of their intervention, all their previous efforts will be completely in vain.

Fortunately, Ark told him that he was the only target to be wiped out in Erzhou's goal from beginning to end.

Although Tang Yao, Wei Chongming, Ren Yao, Ren Xuming and others changed their destiny because of Ling Yun, they originally belonged to this world.Even without Ling Yun, their life trajectories would be affected by other factors.

For the purpose of the second week, these changes are just a branch of countless parallel worlds, and will not pose a subversive threat to the world line itself.

"But a world cannot have two main gods; similarly, it cannot have two protagonists. In order to maintain the current balance, it must obliterate us who do not belong to this time and space. This is the responsibility that the main god must shoulder. I would do the same."

Ark's tone was very rational, as calm as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"But understanding is understanding. Now that I have merged with you, if you are obliterated, I will cease to exist. Therefore, I will still help you find a way to fight against the second week."

Ark changed the topic, and his tone softened a lot, giving Ling Yun the illusion that the other party seemed to be comforting him.

"But there are rules to protect me, and Er Zhoumu can't just make a move." Ling Yun didn't panic, but instead gave birth to a mysterious confidence.Now that he has the aura of the protagonist around him, no one can threaten his life except Shen Tinglan's blackening.

"Don't forget, if it wasn't for me, you would have died twice at Er Zhoumu's hands. Just now, you fell from a tree and were fatally injured. It was I who repaired the wound for you, otherwise you wouldn't be able to survive Tang. Yao and the others come here, and you will die a third time."

Ark's words made Ling Yun very confused.If he really had the aura of the protagonist, he shouldn't have died so easily... Could it be that his aura is not as strong as Shen Tinglan's?
"Correct. You are not fully conscious yet."

Ark, which instantly synchronized with Ling Yun's thoughts, gave him an affirmative answer. It snapped its fingers, and then thirteen black figures appeared in the form of virtual images, displayed in front of Ling Yun.

"At the beginning, your soul was torn apart by the dark force. Although I kept some of it, the other scattered fragments went back in time, entered the present time and space together, and parasitic into the bodies of thirteen players."

"You mean, these are clones carrying my soul fragments?" Ling Yun frowned: "Where are they?"

"Most of them are dead."

Ark said indifferently: "This incident happened about three months ago. With the death of those hosts, your power is gradually becoming complete. Therefore, I was able to break through the seal of the rules and meet you. Now that you have Knowing the truth, I will not suppress your power in the future."

From Ark's narration, Ling Yun finally understood: With the return of his soul, not only his own abilities, but also the rules and protection he received will become more and more against the sky.

Once the protagonist's aura is complete, Er Zhoumu will have nothing to do with him; and only when his soul is complete can he return to his original world.

Realizing this, Ling Yun urgently wanted to know the whereabouts of the other clones.

"Now, nine of your avatars have died." After Ark said, he waved his hand, leaving only four blurred figures on the screen.

For the sake of unknown identity, it coded each clone.At this time, a number emitting white light floated above each figure, displayed as "3", "5", "7", and "11".

"It's no wonder that my ability to stretch my hips at the beginning has been weakened so much."

Looking at the four blurred figures, Ling Yun felt mixed emotions in his heart.Although it sounds cruel, if you want to fight Er Zhoumu and leave this place, you must kill the other four clones.

"How much has my soul repaired now?" Ling Yun clenched his fists, feeling the full strength in his body, and asked the other party.

"About 45 percent," Ark replied.

"Are you joking?" Ling Yun's eyes widened.

Cooperating with myself until now, I only have less than half of the aura of the protagonist on my body... No wonder Er Zhoumu can kill himself so easily.

"Soul fragments are also divided into sizes. The larger the fragments, the stronger the host's ability; .So now only a fraction of the power is coming back into you, more fragments, which have been absorbed by Number 7."

Ark squeezed Ling Yun's shoulder, and said solemnly: "You have to be careful, the biggest enemy is not Erzhoumu, but No. 7. Although I don't know what method he used to hunt and kill so many people in such a short period of time. There are many goals. But I guess, there must be two weeks behind the scenes to fuel the flames."

"What the hell?"

After hearing this, Ling Yun only felt a headache.He thought that after Shen Tinglan's matter was resolved, he would be able to return to reality.But now it sounds like the troubles caused by Erzhoumu and No. 7 clone are far more difficult than before.

"You said No. 7 is also a player, right? Is there any information about his identity? There are several other surviving clones, how can I find them?" Ling Yun asked.

Since No. 7 can hunt and kill the clone with such precision, it proves that the other party has a way to confirm the existence of the soul fragments.

However, before Ark opened his mouth, Ling Yun suddenly noticed a violent tremor in the seawater surrounding him.

"Tsk, damn it."

Ark seemed to notice something, his expression changed.

The invisible force flew the Lingyun Bullet far away, and Ark's eager voice was transmitted to him along the sea water: "I don't have time to talk to you now. I just repaired you and consumed most of my energy, and the seal was awakened again. I need It will take a while to recover—"

The seawater centered on Ark condensed into a vortex, and the huge golden pupils below gradually closed. The chains on Ark's body reappeared, wriggling like life and making loud noises.

The black mist released from the chains gradually condensed into a mass of black flesh, continuously covering Ark's body and spreading to its whole body.

In a blink of an eye, Ark was wrapped up like a black chrysalis, with only a pair of eyes looking at Ling Yun.Its whimpering sounded almost indistinguishable from the squirming chunks of flesh.

"Listen... Number 7 has awakened..."

"He fused 40% of the... fragments..."

"And...still chasing...you...and the other...three clones..."

"No. 3 and No. 11... are in the treasure hunt here... You must kill them before No. 7..."

At the same time that Ark was swallowed by the black flesh, the surrounding darkness quickly faded away like a tide.A white light penetrated the black screen and shone on Ling Yun's face, making it almost impossible for him to see the surrounding scene clearly.

Vaguely, he saw the dark sea and treacherous forest constantly switching in illusion.

"Don't go, you should explain the method of identifying the avatar clearly!"

Ling Yun really wanted to find out about his soul fragments, but Ark's figure had disappeared along with the disappearance of the black vortex.

In my mind, Ark's last voice echoed:

"Only by actively fusing fragments, that is, after killing other clones, will you awaken your sensing ability. But your power comes from passive fusion, and now you can only find a way to find it yourself. However, all clones have the soul imprint left by me, It's the same as the mark on your waist."
