Soul Trigger

Chapter 594 Possessiveness

At the gates of Hell in the Black Sun Palace, in the training grounds of the Other Shore.

The "Lord of Calamity" stood silently at one end, transforming into endless hellish spirits and vengeful souls. Its towering figure and thick, dark green armor were no less imposing than Odin's, who stood opposite it.

This was the form she displayed as the "Lord of Calamity" when Ji Li released her from the forbidden zone of the Hellhound Clan:
Armor, face covering, wildly combed green hair, and four arms, each gripping a different weapon—she simply ripped off one of the badly injured arms and tossed it aside.

"They attacked so fiercely, anyone who didn't know better would think we were enemies."

Ji Li didn't speak, because his Odin body was also rapidly disintegrating, revealing a figure that was quickly calming its breathing.

A ninja squad surrounded him, quickly providing soul healing and spiritual replenishment:

Still a little bit.

Ji Li stayed at the Black Sun Mansion for a while longer; it had been three weeks since his last recovery.

Over the course of these three weeks, in order to explore the upper limit and stability of this "Odin", with the help of Yu Ya Xun, a top-notch sparring partner, Ji Li tried the "soul vibration" method three times to enter the Odin state.

Unfortunately, the results weren't particularly good. And every time he fought with Yuya Xun, he had to stay in bed for a week.

However, we also have a clearer understanding of the current situation:
First, there's the issue of stability; Odin's T4-002 incarnation is not solid.

His body will exhibit a significant leakage of iridescent light, which affects his control and utilization of this form, limiting the maximum effectiveness and ability that Ji Li can control.

For example, the "Black Hole Jump" that the "Black Hole Engine Carrier" can use is unusable on the T4-002 "Netherworld Destroyer," which is clearly from a higher generation.

The methods that Ji Li can use include, but are not limited to:
The high-polymer thermal weapons are located in the limbs, the cluster black hole missiles are located in the missile bay on the back, and the most destructive "black hole breath" is located in the back.

This content only accounts for about 40% of the body's functions, meaning that Ji Li cannot use many functions for the time being.

According to the results of the self-check by the Ascension Protocol, most of the unusable functions are related to "black hole energy".

If this is not a cognitive creation, but a true technological body, it is equivalent to most of the functions of the black hole engine in Ji Li's chest being locked.

Originally, even the "black hole breath" emitted from the head's cranial cavity aggregator was unusable, but it was unlocked during the third battle with Hell Fang.

This leakage of iridescent light is essentially due to the insufficient transformation of Ji Li's iridescent spiritual essence.

He believes that this requires him to further explore how "soul vibration" activates Odin, and that his own physical strength and precise control over spiritual energy should also affect his current control over Odin.

The other is time.

In the battle with Ludwig, Ji Li's Odin could only be activated for a little over ten seconds.

The three battles with Kaoru Gokuga increased this time to 11.6 seconds.

Strictly speaking, this time was even shorter than the time it took him to activate Odin using the Shadow Burst Device, the difference being that this was achieved by leveraging Odin's power on his own.

The third factor is strength. During his training with Yuya Xun, Ji Li did not unleash the same terrifying destructive power he had when he beat up Ludwig.

Essentially, Odin is manifested by his spiritual essence taking on the form perceived in our minds, and the underlying logic of this spiritual essence lies in emotions.

In other words, training is too simplistic compared to actual combat, and it cannot fully mobilize emotions to reach an intense state. Odin's strength, which is activated through soul vibration, will also be affected to some extent.

In conclusion, although many functions are unusable, Odin's stats are sufficient to support Ji Li's actions afterward.

With further exploration and improvement, it should be possible to gradually stabilize the iridescent leakage, increase its usage time, and reduce its aftereffects.

With the help of various psychic tools and the methods of a soul healer, Ji Li's aura quickly calmed down, and his physical and spiritual state rapidly recovered to the point where he could stand on his own.

Kaoru, now back in human form, stepped forward, dismissed the silent ninjas, and personally helped him up.
"how?"

"Although it didn't quite meet my exact expectations, it's good enough. How are your preparations going?"

Yuya Xun chuckled, "Wouldn't it be better if you stayed in Black Sun Mansion with me? Europe is in complete chaos right now because of the gathering."

"Stop it." Ji Li ignored her.

Yu Ya Xun chuckled and swept Ji Li into a princess carry in her arms:
"Darling, what kind of attitude is this? We haven't even had our wedding night yet, and you're already acting like this?" "You're right, but am I going to spend it with eight Hell Fangs, or just with you?"

"When did a bunch of splits have the right to interfere in our affairs?"

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Yu Ya's emerald green eyes; the guy was staring straight at Ji Li.

When their eyes met out of the corner of her eye, she burst into laughter, like a cat that had caught a mouse, and cupped his face to kiss him.

But a patch of hellish spiritual energy erupted from her face, from which another pale hand emerged, pressing her face firmly against it, and another voice, like that of Hell Fang Xun, came from within:
"No stealing food."

A flash of murderous intent appeared in Kaoru Hokuga's eyes:
"Are you deliberately planning a rebellion?"

Ji Li's face was expressionless:

"Put me down."

Yu Ya Xun ignored him completely, grabbed the hand on her face, pulled out a short-haired Xun from inside, and started beating the other person while holding Ji Li.

The latter was not to be outdone, and opened its large dog head to bite her body.

Ji Li sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation:

Again.

This situation has played out countless times during this period.

Either someone is secretly biting him halfway through when they get caught by other split entities and a fight breaks out.

Either the act of kissing would provoke dissatisfaction from other split entities or the original entity, leading to a fight.

These include, but are not limited to, hugging, sleeping together, soaking in hot springs, etc., which will eventually turn into a farce of me killing myself.

They did consider resolving the issue internally, and unanimously concluded that they needed to make a collective decision together.

So Ji Li was dragged by Yu Ya Xun to soak in the hot spring. As soon as they arrived, they saw seven other people floating in the water, completely naked, like pieces of white jade floating in the mist and light.

When you are surrounded by eight tall, shapely women with prominent breasts and buttocks in a pool, it's hard not to have some extremely decadent thoughts, and Ji Li, who is already decadent, is even more so.

However, the imagined scenario of eight Kaoru Gokuga surrounding him is impossible, because the moment the real Kaoru Gokuga embraced him and entered the hot spring, the other seven began to complain:

We're all Yuya Xun, so why are you standing so close to him?

Then the fight began.

Not only did they start fighting, but they also took turns grabbing and scrambling for him, without even putting on their clothes. Ji Li witnessed a water fight that was like a raging storm, in every sense of the word.

And there were bound to be some minor mishaps that made him extremely uncomfortable.

You might say, "Let's have all eight of them together," but for Kaoru Yuya, that's impossible.

Each of the eight possesses an independent consciousness, and can even be considered as eight independent souls. This is what makes Yuya Xun, as a true multiple personality disorder patient, the most unique among the awakened powerhouses.

Each of the eight independent consciousnesses possesses an extremely strong possessive desire, so they strongly reject any close contact between Ji Li and their other selves, and would absolutely not allow any of their other selves to join them.

We could come together if we wanted to, but none of us wanted to come together.

Now the stubbornness has become blocked at both ends.

That finally calmed things down a bit, but assuming nine people can lie down on one bed, a new problem arises:

Who comes first?
What, you go first? Just because you're the original form, I'll go first!
After a month in this godforsaken place, Ji Li felt like she was going to suffocate. Every time she played the game of "inch stop" with him, it would turn into a crazy battle. Shu Guang enjoyed watching the show.

So this time, he seized the opportunity to break free from one of the madwomen's grasp, slipped away, and, with the help of the ninjas who arrived later, dialed Qin's number:
Are you still in Munich?
