Soul Of Negary - Chapter 460 - The power of retorts and fusion  

“Damn it!”

Thanks to two small thrusters, Yun Yi was hovering in the air, the nozzle of the guns on his wrist had thoroughly overheated, not even the multi-layered cooling system was able to change that.

Even while hovering in mid-air, he was still in the middle of an ocean of snakes. Those snakes were coiled around one another like a huge endless mass, their bodies weren’t very sturdy, but there were a lot of them, and they were all very dangerous.

All of these snakes carried a type of venom that could cause irreversible mutations in their bodies if the venom got into, or even onto their bodies.

Yun Yi has had to constantly control his Totem to protect himself, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to ensure that he could endure the onslaught of countless snakes.

“We need to find its core!” Po Nan’s deity statue landed not too far away from his body as a large amount of data was flowing through his eyes: “Currently, this snake-ball form is already its final defensive form. Once this form was broken as well, it would turn into its weakest, as well as most powerful form”

“And we would only be able to truly kill it if we kill it in this state”

Po Nan and Yun Yi stood with their backs to one another and eliminated all the venomous snakes that approached. Ever since the snake-ball had appeared, their communication devices had remained jammed, and Po Nan had only just managed to regroup with Yun Yi after cleaning up all the snakes in their way.

“The problem is that our power is too scattered, we wouldn’t be able to break through the snake’s encirclement at all”

Yun Yi understood this fact very well. While the individual snakes within the huge ball of snakes weren’t difficult to kill, there were simply too many of them. They were acting like a small planet that had become intertwined and was continuously growing.

“I’ll help you open the path!” a bright red blade flew in from the distance and shattered into countless thin blades that cut all the surrounding snakes apart. Yun Rong had broken through the encirclement of snakes and arrived in front of the two.

“Where are the others?” Yun Yi asked.

“I don’t know, I could only faintly see Thousand-arms being bitten. It’s a shame that we lost his blue-fire gatling guns, I fully believe that he would be able to become Buddha in his next life” Yun Rong made a reference that neither of them could understand.

At this point, Yun Rong suddenly felt a bit nostalgic of Killer J’s presence, if he was here, he would definitely jump out and express his agreement, or argue that a 7-colored gatling gun would be the coolest.

“There’s no time, we won’t get the opportunity to gather everyone else. It would be so much better if we still had a space-based attack” Po Nan shook his head.

After learning of the serpent’s abilities, they discovered that the serpent’s most shameless ability was the fact that it seemed to have separate lives.

Only after the previous form had been destroyed would the next form appear, any excessive damage wouldn’t be able to affect the next form or cause its forms to consecutively die.

In other words, aside from some systematic attacks, no matter how powerful an attack was, it would only be able to kill it once.

“What a standard Boss through and out” Yun Rong mercilessly made another reference. His referencing skills had now gotten to a professional level, and the blades of hostility in his hands were once again vibrating with a loud noise.

The blades of hostility were manifestations of pure hostility, a variation of the soul’s interference force that specifically targeted the structure of the soul. As Yun Rong continued to use the blades of hostility, his Cloud Pattern Totem was gradually becoming accustomed to the type of interference force that was hostility, which slowly unlocked an interference force derived from his soul as well.

Turning interference force into a tangible force and you end up with telekinesis; turning it intangible resulted in mental illusions; an exceptionally firm interference force would be the power of belief; completely placing one’s interference force onto another would be religious faith; and when interference force is used to destroy, it’s hostility.

Even the so-called power of emotions was also a type of interference force.

In other words, as long as they were a power derived from the soul, they would actually be a variation of the same basic interference force.

Each individual’s adaptation of interference force differed. For example, in Negary’s case when he was in his initial Evil Spirit form, his interference force was the most common telekinesis; but since then, Negary had learnt of the existence of other kinds of interference forces. After thoroughly researching it, he could now juggle multiple interference forces at once.

Meanwhile, since Killer J’s soul structure was altered and became dictated by his ability, the most suitable kind of interference force for him was naturally hostility.

Originally, Yun Rong had thought that his own interference force would be transformative due to the characteristics of his Cloud Pattern Totem, but beyond his wildest imagination, perhaps it was because of the blades of hostility’s influence, but Yun Rong’s interference force had turned into something similar to hostility instead.

“But why is it the power of retorts!? How did this unscientific thing come into existence? And shouldn’t retorts be represented by manifestations? Where the hell is ‘weakness observation’ supposed to slot in?”

If hostility was the power to destroy a soul’s structure, then the power of retorts was to see through abnormalities or gaps within phenomena and respond to it, in other words, retorting.

Under these circumstances, the interference force that had manifested as the power of retorts was capable of striking where it hurts, and Yun Rong could easily discern the weaknesses of any entity through the use of ‘retorts’.

If this power of retort was changed a little bit and affected his eye, it should then be called by a different name—— the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

“Eight Cuts of Xia Ji!!” After helplessly calling out this embarrassing name again, Yun Rong was gradually understanding the thing that Killer J had handed him.

Following Yun Rong’s retorts, he quickly recognized the weakness point of the snake-ball and easily cut through a large number of snakes using the blades of hostility. The outer shell of the snake-ball was instantly broken into dozens of pieces and revealed a gap.

“Right at this moment” Yun Rong rushed forward and wielded the blades of hostility, swinging it with reckless abandon to widen this gap.

Yun Yi and Po Nan also didn’t hesitate at all and simply charged forward. Yun Yi’s bright red blades began to manifest next to and even inside his own body. Looking at it from a different perspective, ‘weakness discernment’ could also be understood as the ‘merciful blade’.

Under the reinforcement of the power of retorts, Yun Rong was now similar to that nurse who stabbed her boyfriend over a dozen times, but perfectly avoided all the vitals and ended up being judged as innocent because of how light the boyfriend’s wounds actually were. Humans have several places where it could easily take dozens of slashes or stabs without dying, if you have plot armor level of luck, you might even get a casual appendectomy.

The blades of hostility in his hand quickly grew longer to help the two open a path, but when a large number of snakes rushed forward again, he had no choice but to pull his blades of hostility back to defend himself.

…

Meanwhile, the other two were rapidly charging towards the center of the snake-ball, where each of the venomous snakes here was even larger than their entire bodies.

Furthermore, even without being bitten by them, just slashing open their bodies would cause the venom to secrete, making it difficult for them to advance any further.

“Yun Yi, leave the rest to me!” Po Nan lightly stated, but his tone was filled with resolution. The deity statue Totem then put its hands over its eyes once again.

Po Nan’s incorporeal body then appeared next to the deity statue before instantly becoming tangible again. The bandages around his body earlier had now been ripped off to reveal the patterns on it. Black lines were dotted all over Po Nan’s body, some of which looked like it depicted a large tree that spanned across Po Nan’s entire body.

After Po Nan had activated something, the branches on his tattoo became alive, surged forward from Po Nan’s body, and became draped over the deity statue.

Po Nan had tried the Desolate’s secret technique to put their Totems within their bodies, but it failed because of Po Nan Totem’s unique characteristics. While Po Nan’s body was still tangible, the deity statue would close both its eyes, unable to exert its ability; but as soon as the deity statue lowered its hands, his original body would instantly become intangible, untouchable by even his own deity statue.

At the same time, Po Nan’s Totem also had another unique character where the closer it was to the real body, the more powerful it could exert. For these reasons, in order to fight at his maximum strength, Po Nan had asked Noah to bestow him power.

The tree pattern on his body was something that Noah had implanted on Po Nan’s body. At this very moment, Po Nan’s deity statue that was being tied up by the tree branches gradually lowered its hands, causing Po Nan’s real body to become intangible again. However, the branches that had taken root on him before did not simply lose their targets and instead coiled around Po Nan’s intangible main body, pulling the intangible body into the deity statue itself.

The deity statue once again opened its eyes, its strength seemed to have grown by an entire level. Arcs of lightning were manifesting around his body, suggesting that he was currently powerful enough to affect this world by simply existing.

“I don’t have much time, so leave this place to me, I’ll leave the rest up to you, Yun Yi”

As Po Nan’s words were still lingering in Yun Yi’s ears, he had already vanished from Yun Yi’s sight. The only thing that Yun Yi could see now was nothing but blood in the air.
