Soul Of Negary - Chapter 168

Just as Negary had expected, Fang Ze managed to salvage He Qiao’s rationality in the end.

This was a new technique that he created, branching from his [Origin] ability, [Starforce].

In a moment of trouble, his [Starforce] was able to borrow the abilities of others, while at the same time utilize his massive Disasforce to push that ability to its every limit, far surpassing what its original owner was capable of.

However, the condition for using this ability was that the owner must fully trust him. And only when they’ve opened access to their Authority to him would he truly be able to fully utilize their abilities.

Whenever he activated his ability, it would form a mental connection between him and the original ability user, asking them if they would lend him their power. Essentially, he would send his truest thoughts to the other party in order to obtain their support.

Using this side effect, Fang Ze created a mental attack technique. By forming the mental connection, he would be able to send his own consciousness into his opponent’s mind, clashing with their consciousness and revise them.

It was through this technique that Fang Ze attacked Luke and revised his consciousness that had been corrupted by Negary.

Regretfully, he only dealt with the symptoms and not the source. So long as Luke still craved the power of the germs, Negary’s influence had the ability to revive itself in Luke at any point, after which he was killed and allowed Negary to learn of Fang Ze’s abilities.

On the other hand, He Qiao’s consciousness was a lot more dangerous compared to Luke who was only corrupted by Negary’s influence, as she was corrupted by her own [Origin] and was undergoing Origin Assimilation. Despite facing the sheer information overload of her [Origin], Fang Ze managed to explosively exert his powerful willpower, forcefully removing that corruption and salvaged He Qiao’s rationality from the verge of collapse.

More importantly, borrowing the influence of another [Origin], his own [Origin] achieved the second stage of release, greatly boosting the power of his [Starforce].

The purple-black vines slowly wilted away, as Fang Ze landed in the small residential district with He Qiao in his embrace. The full scenery of the residential district was now visible to them, revealing several black tentacles attached to the largest buildings within the area, at the center of which was a huge black flesh cocoon.

The flesh cocoon was slightly twitching, as if nurturing something inside.

“Be careful, that thing is very dangerous” He Qiao weakly muttered: “Even back then, I didn’t dare to use it as food…”

As she said that, He Qiao displayed a sorrowful look of self-blame. Because of her sudden mutation, the many people who originally stayed around to protect her had all become nutrients for the vines.

“It’s ok, that wasn’t your fault, it is Wang Yuan’s. I will take revenge for their sake” Fang Ze consoled her.

Fang Ze then turned his attention towards the huge flesh cocoon, his expression turned serious.

That guy, is Wang Yuan inside that flesh cocoon? Or perhaps, that flesh cocoon is Wang Yuan himself?

“Should I try to destroy it first?”

Just as Fang Ze’s Disasforce slightly fluctuated, the flesh cocoon had already morphed. A hole opened right in the middle of it, where a voice resounded from deep inside: 〖 Jliost! 〗

The intense Disasforce caused even the air to warp, so Fang Ze focused his Disasforce directly in front of his body to protect himself. As the two masses of Disasforce clashed, their destructive powers were fully displayed. Under the pressure of Disasforce, the air manifested into typhoon-force wind that ravaged their surroundings; light itself seemed to have been affected by these two masses of Disasforce, as the scenery around them appeared almost illusory during the clash.

Fang Ze’s body was sent flying backwards, Negary’s Disasforce wasn’t quite as strong as Fang Ze’s, but Negary was clearly superior when it came to control, not to mention that Fang Ze was still holding He Qiao in his embrace.

“Take care of her!” Fang Ze let go of He Qiao, after which Liu Shi leapt up to receive her and landed at another location. On her way, she also tossed a few arrows that drew streaks of light as they flew towards the black flesh cocoon.

From the hole of the flesh cocoon, Negary stepped out, wearing a full black suit and casually flicking the arrows away with his fingers.

Under the support of the tentacles, the flesh cocoon slowly rose into the air, the hole in the middle of it gradually expanded, a glassy surface appeared from behind to fill the gap, giving off the impression of a huge eyeball that watched over everyone from above.

“WANG YUAN!!” Fang Ze shouted, unable to contain his anger. Disasforce surged beneath his feet to make it seem like he stepped on thin air as his figure became blurred and shot straight towards Negary, his Disasforce started to converge and gather around his body.

As fellow Disaster Kings, the difference in their Disasforce levels shouldn’t be too great, releasing it in mass quantities like he did before would only serve to scatter it. Against Authority Holders with lower energy grades, a Disaster King’s Disasforce was basically incomparable, so he could release it as much as he liked, but since that wasn’t the case compared to other Disaster Kings, it made a lot more sense to gather it instead.

As huge amounts of Disasforce gathered around his body, the ‘high temperature’ property of Fang Ze’s Disasforce caused the air around him to become warped. From afar, he looked like a person burning in invisible flames, or rather, a human-shaped meteor.

〖 Incompetent angry shouting 〗

Negary’s outer appearance didn’t change as much as Fang Ze did, if at all. With a light hop, he avoided a collapsing cave-in on the ground and twisted his body, the entire body’s worth of germs moved according to his will and threw a punch to match Fang Ze’s Disasforce material gauntlet.

Fang Ze borrowed the force of the clash to retreat, a small hole had been broken through on the gauntlet on his right hand, where fresh blood flowed. The bone in Negary’s middle finger had also broken open as the tip of a sword shot out from within.

If Fang Ze had reacted even a single step slower, the entire sword would have shot out all at once, pierced through his hand, then his head.

“That kind of special Disasforce weapon again” Fang Ze felt heavy in his heart. During his first battle against Negary, Negary’s Disasforce was far below his, but managed to completely curb-stomp him through the use of a dagger that could sever his control over his Disasforce.

And the sword that just shot out from Negary’s hand was clearly made of the same material as that dagger.

Fang Ze’s Disasforce fluctuation slightly changed, instantly healing the wound on his right hand. Some of the withered grass in his surroundings started to bloom, then explosively grew into vines that reached towards Negary.

As Negary’s Disasforce vibrated, all the plants that approached him were turned into fine powder, but more wild grass continued to grow all around the residential district, obscuring Fang Ze’s group and concealed them.

〖 Trying to hide to look for a chance? 〗

The giant eyeball behind Negary slowly turned, pointing the glassy ‘pupil’ towards the ground.

〖 Interference force is the power derived from the soul, which can manifest in many ways. Unless I’m wrong, the so-called Disasforce is nothing but a variation of interference force, and so is mental powers 〗

〖 The eye is the window to the mind, so a glass surface that mimics a pupil should be able to gather the power of the mind 〗

Negary spread both arms outward, silently declaring in his mind.

〖 Second experiment of the [Protagonist Aura], commence! 〗

Some sort of light began to gather at the gigantic eyeball, then turned into a ray of light that shined all over the ground.

The light didn’t cause any damage to anything on the ground, not even a single blade of grass moved from it, but the numerous people below all simultaneously experienced an illusion.
