arcane emperor

As soon as he heard that he was about to increase his strength, Yaya, who was still a little unhappy because he hadn't killed those legendary sea monsters, immediately became excited.

Her eyes widened impatiently, recalling the Thousand-Faced Soul Eater deep in Matthew's consciousness, she swallowed excitedly and said:
"Hehehe, I should be able to eat well this time."

Matthew was quite satisfied with Yaya's appetite and led her into the dazzling sealing circle.

The old swordsman on the side looked at the highly complete sealing formation on the ground with emotion, and said with envy:

"It's better to have money and make the best preparations."

Hearing what the old swordsman said, Matthew took out two bottles of high-quality demon-sealing potion and drank one each for himself and Yaya.

The shining silver light quickly flooded through the bodies of Matthew and Yaya.

The model connected by thin silver metal lines quickly merged with the magic-sealing array that emitted a rich light.

The dazzling silver light penetrated into the bodies of Matthew and Yaya, quickly removing the smallest pollution and impurities.

They are extremely precise, naturally merciless, and can cause considerable pain.

Both Matthew and Yaya have a very high tolerance for pain. They endured the influx of pain relatively easily and waited silently for the completion of the preliminary work.

The old swordsman outside the magic circle led other swordsmen to carefully observe the transformed magic circle.

It's not that I'm worried about problems, but I want to confirm that the transformed magic circle can operate on its own without anyone's blessing, and can continue to achieve the previous effect.

The inheritance issue they had been worried about before was solved in a standardized way in the Gulf Territory.

Various situations that may have caused fluctuations in the past have been solved by magic arrays, magic props, and magic machines.

These adjusted magical creations can save swordsmen a lot of time and allow them to focus more on improving their strength.

More importantly, the plan proposed by the Gulf Territory is similar to Matthew's dismantling of the swordsman's career path.

Break a very large problem into multiple smaller problems, and then use some auxiliary methods to help solve it.

Although there are still certain restrictions and thresholds, it is much better than trying your luck in the past, where it took three or four times to succeed once.

Moreover, with the quantitative testing of Gulf Territory data records, basic standards and thresholds can be marked for many swordsmen and warrior monks.

As long as these professionals meet the standards and then proceed according to the basic operating guidelines, they can guarantee at least a 90% success rate.

Even if it fails, you can basically save your life, and the backlash of failure will be borne by various magic items.

And often after failing once, you can find the reason for the failure and improve it.

It is through this method that the Gulf Territory has trained the second batch of swordsmen and monks.

Therefore, the first batch of swordsmen and monks began to join the actual battle on a large scale.

The swordsmen who have solved most of the problems and knots are naturally willing to start more tasks in the Gulf Territory.

What makes veteran swordsmen the most happy is actually various standardized research problems.

The rewards and expenditures of the Gulf Territory in this regard make many swordsmen excited.

At this moment, the consciousnesses of Matthew and Yaya had entered his ocean of consciousness through the connection of the magic circle.

Glittering and translucent silver thin threads spread out like branches, and soon penetrated into the area where the Thousand-Faced Soul Eater was.

They saw the thin silver line that frightened them spread quickly.

The Thousand Faced Soul Eater could no longer remain calm, tried to release his power, and began to struggle.

The soul power like a tide spread crazily in all directions, trying to impact Matthew's ocean of consciousness.

It was obvious that even if the blazing arcane fire surrounded him, it could not stop the Thousand-faced Soul Eater from frantically releasing its power in an attempt to open a passage to escape from the ocean of Matthew's consciousness.

Naturally, Matthew would not let go of such a good opportunity.

He very patiently let the arcane fire burn through, burning the soul power released by the Thousand-Faced Soul Eater, and weakening the origin of the Thousand-Faced Soul Eater as much as possible.

Moreover, Matthew’s choice of target is very interesting.

Mainly targeting the remains of the gods that control the most soul power, let the arcane fire attack with full force.

The consciousness of the remains of the god was immediately severely damaged. He felt the arcane fire quickly penetrate into its body, greedily burning, killing and "plundering" it, almost burning it to death.

Having lost a considerable amount of soul power, the consciousness of the remains of the spirit felt that his mind was blurred, and he immediately extracted the soul power in horror.

Without other consciousnesses being aware of it, the consciousness of the remains of the gods wrested a large amount of soul power from them.

It barely held on to the arcane fire that surrounded it, struggled to open its dragon-shaped head, and slammed into the big net.

It failed to break through the chains surrounded by silver thin lines as expected.

Those chains quickly shrank in this direction as if they were alive, trapping his huge body.

"Roar……"

The roar that shook the entire soul space severely impacted the body of the Thousand-faced Soul Eater.

Its huge and twisted body trembled for no reason, completely unable to withstand the terrifying power contained in that voice.

A beautiful and powerful silver dragon slammed down fiercely, slashing down with sharp claws like a sickle.

Bang!
The twisted dragon head flew back again.

The network-like chain condensed by thunder quickly attached to Yaya's body the moment it came into contact with it.

In a flash of spiritual light, it turned into thick and shiny armor.

Yaya is changing, and this change exudes terrifying power, even allowing the Thousand Faced Soul Eater to smell the breath of death.

Under the threat of death, each conscious individual of the Thousand-Faced Soul Eater began to burst out with all their strength and pounced towards Yaya.

Facing this ugly monster with several heads, Yaya snorted lightly and pounced on it without hesitation.

She always keeps Matthew's reminder in mind, not to be afraid of fighting, but to grow in the battle, draw nutrients from it, and strive to become stronger.

Bang!
The Thousand Faced Soul Eater, who was larger in size, could not hit Yaya.

Their power is too scattered, each consciousness is fighting independently, and Yaya is obviously aware of this.

She took her chance and tore a slit between them with her claws.

Even though the gap healed quickly, Yaya had already dug out a large chunk of soul fragments.

The consciousness of the remains of the god that was in pain kept opening its mouth and tearing at the shoulders with teeth, but it could only barely break through the armor woven by the thunder chains.

Matthew, who saw this scene, noticed that the Thousand-Faced Soul Eater, who could not escape, was about to start fighting, and waved his hand very simply.

The surging arcane fire fell on Yaya's body.

They quickly ignited the soul fragments in her claws, shattering them into pure soul power.

The bits of stinging pain and burning fire tempered Yaya's will.

All she is doing now is to repeat Matthew's promotion and tempering process.

The Thousand Faced Soul Eater who is currently calling and struggling will become the source of Yaya's transformation.

Faced with Yaya's attack, they each began to resist.

Like the consciousness of the remains of gods, they transformed into corresponding twisted heads, and then launched an attack on Yaya.

The dragon's head, the bugbear's head, a head mixed with many characteristics, a twisted block made of machinery, constitutes the image of the split consciousness of the Thousand-Faced Soul Eater.

Yaya fought fiercely with these monsters, moving very fast and suffering a lot of damage.

However, the arcane fire that kept burning on Yaya kept burning the wounds she tore open.

The pure soul energy transferred back from the magic sealing array will continuously repair Yaya's injuries and help her complete the tempering stably.

At the beginning, the Thousand Faced Soul Eaters had a good advantage due to their larger heads and size, and could always cause damage to Yaya.

But the longer they fought with Yaya, the more bodies were burned by the arcane fire, and their size became smaller.

In the fierce battle, Yaya gradually gained the upper hand, demonstrating her eighteen fighting skills.

The Thousand-faced Soul Eater, who is of comparable or even slightly larger size, is still growing and gradually becoming familiar with various fighting techniques.

But the various abilities that Yaya masters are far beyond the reach of these Thousand Faced Soul Eaters.

Only the consciousness of the remains of the gods can always maintain efficient output.

According to Matthew's guess, only this guy has the highest status and the strongest source of power he can control.

Therefore, Yaya made a very keen choice to land almost half of the attacks on him.

The consciousness of the remains of the gods surrounded by more attacks will continuously extract the soul power controlled by other consciousnesses.

This can only happen when He is about to collapse.

It can do this in a very arrogant manner when several other consciousnesses clearly refuse.

In a sense, the consciousness of the remains of the gods is the strongest point of the Thousand-Faced Soul Eater, and it is also its weakest point.

Yaya's rich combat experience made her keenly aware of this situation.

Under the implementation of this correct fighting thought, the Thousand-Faced Soul Eater became weaker and weaker.

The smaller his size, the greater the damage caused by his fangs, and the faster he will die.

time flies.

Three or four hours later, Yaya's tall body had torn apart the remains of the Thousand-Faced Soul Eater.

She looked at the small black ball of soul in her hand curiously, and asked Matthew curiously:
"Is this the soul origin of the Thousand-Faced Soul Eater? It's quite beautiful..." Matthew shook his head calmly, feeling the residual power of twisted and terrifying will shining in it, and said softly with emotion:

"Sometimes, the more beautiful things are, the more dangerous they are."

Matthew "walked" over and took the black crystal that exuded a blurry color from Yaya's hand.

He could clearly sense that in addition to power, there was also hidden sin that could not be described in words, as well as the sadness after the death of civilization and life.

If it is not completely destroyed, it will still have an endless supply of energy, absorbing various soul energies, generating a twisted consciousness filled with the desire for destruction, and growing into a terrifying and dangerous Thousand-faced Soul Eater.

And it is also very difficult to completely destroy it.

Because destroying it means being contaminated with the sin and madness within it.

Various divine powers, divinities and even godheads are not only carriers of power, but also the fusion of consciousness, thought and destruction.

To absorb such power, one must either purify it completely, wait for the body to fully absorb it, and finally inject your own thoughts and ideas.

If there is no way, then you can only "digest" it bit by bit.

However, in this process, the influence of forces is mutual.

However, Matthew and the Bay Territory are well prepared for this.

This time, Matthew and Yaya did not give it to the goddess of magic.

There are many reasons, the most critical ones being concealment and safety.

Perhaps, the goddess of magic watched all this happen.

However, Matthew is more willing to show such posture and preparation and do it to the best of his ability.

After tasting more memories and real history, Matthew knew one thing very well.

Gods are not omnipotent!
They will also fall!

The thin silver threads in Matthew's body seemed to come alive, slowly surrounding the crystal in Matthew's hand.

The burning arcane fire became brighter and brighter after Matthew learned and engraved enough knowledge and ideas into it.

They gradually became stronger, slowly igniting the silver chains, and a special layer of red slowly blended into the arcane fire.

That is the color of life and the color of the soul.

The pure and translucent crystal showed tiny ripples under the burning of arcane fire.

The corners of Matthew's mouth raised slightly, and he met the expectant gaze of Yaya on the side, listening to the prompts given by the power of fate.

"Do you want to consume 5000 million of the power of destiny and complete the purification ceremony perfectly?"

It can be regarded as touching such an opportunity!

This is the ultimate height that Matthew and Gulf Territory can reach with their current abilities.

Just being able to touch the threshold.

Fortunately, for Matthew, who has the power of destiny, this is enough.

As a result, the surging power of fate, along with Matthew's little pity and pain, poured into the arcane fire.

The increasingly obvious red gradually deepens the color.

The level of arcane fire continues to increase, and the damage caused to the crystal is also increasing rapidly.

Matthew carefully observed everything the Force of Destiny did and discovered the underlying logic behind their functioning.

Make use of existing conditions to make some substantial enhancements.

When all the conditions are met and the goal is achieved, it will be done naturally.

It felt to Matthew as if the power of fate had come to life and turned to write a predetermined fate for this matter.

The price paid behind the scenes is the power of destiny that is suspected to be transformed from the power of the soul or other powers.

Matthew remained calm, watching the strands of darkness quickly disappear under the burning of arcane fire.

Staring at the strange and translucent crystal, it gradually shone with a pale golden luster.

This whole process went very smoothly.

Matthew worked hard to learn the various changes.

He noticed that the arcane fire was rapidly strengthening as it was consumed and replenished, and an extremely bright smile formed on his lips.

Finally, I no longer have to pay "protection fees" for everything.

When all the darkness completely dissipated, dazzling golden light was revealed in the eyes of Matthew and Yaya.

Yaya looked at the four golden lights in front of him excitedly, rubbed his hands gently, and muttered very excitedly:

"Hey, next time we meet those guys, they won't be able to run away."

Matthew stared at the 2 points of godhood and 2 points of divinity, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.

No wonder the Thousand Faced Soul Eater appears so weak.

The reason is that it has the godhead to carry the personality and the divinity to express the characteristics, but it only lacks the divine power to express the power.

There is only a shell of ancient evil, but no real power, so the Thousand-Faced Soul Eater behaves so badly.

Matthew had studied.

The formation of the godhead stems from part of the rules and part of civilization.

It is born of rebirth and destruction, from the intertwining of various rules and rituals.

Divinity can come from the collision of intelligent thinking and the birth of sparks of thought.

It comes from many intelligent beings, or even simple thoughts about a certain phenomenon, or even an individual's thoughts."

According to the information in Matthew's hands, primitive worship, bloody sacrifices, and evil rituals can gradually give birth to divinity over time.

If you connect divinity with a specific phenomenon and unit.

Then these divinities carrying various things will also belong to a certain existence together.

These things are quite special, much more special than Matthew imagined.

After all, this thing has some "idealism" and new "rules" that are different from the original world.

Only for the divine power that controls the actual expression of power, Matthew can understand its existence and birth.

For gods, the existence of divine power comes from the power of the soul and the power of faith dedicated by believers in certain rituals.

Divine power is a real enhancement and addition to combat effectiveness.

The reason why the Thousand Faced Soul Eater lacks divine power is most likely because it lacks enough "believers".

In other words, the "believers" trained by the Thousand-Faced Soul Eater all have huge flaws in their souls.

Matthew and Yaya each gained 1 point of pure godhead and divine power, which was all the legacy of the Thousand-Faced Soul Eater after his death.

The only thing that makes Matthew feel regretful is that the power of destiny that should have been born after killing a being like the Thousand-faced Soul Eater was completely condensed in the fragments of the godhead.

Fortunately, Matthew and Yaya finally completed the last bit of their godhood.

When the golden light integrated into their bodies, an indescribable feeling quickly began to spread from the depths of their souls to the outside of their bodies.

All kinds of knowledge seem to become simpler at this moment.

All kinds of elements become more docile and obedient at this time.

All kinds of power became clearer at this moment.

The whole process seemed to be slow but was actually fast. Before Matthew could savor it carefully, a clear and sweet prompt sounded in his ears.
