Soul Trigger

Chapter 679 Destruction
A ghostly light?!
The sheepdog's soul trigger trembled violently, and the overwhelming spiritual pressure caused her vision to suddenly lose its color.

The physical form of the Dead Lord cracked, and a massive arm emerging from its head widened the fissures, as if a gigantic metal monster had broken free from its small shell, bursting forth with a sky full of shrill black smoke—

Numbers jump, two dimensions distort, soul vibrates, collapse and qualitative change.

Ji Li's vision briefly disappeared, and the Ascension Protocol went dark as if a monitor had been turned off.

That is……

"Jansen!? What are you doing!? Don't move! Don't..."

"No, no, no, this isn't real... this isn't real!!!"

Jason struggled violently, throwing himself off Andrew's shoulder, and tumbled and stumbled towards the spiritual storm in a trembling and unbalanced manner. Angelica caught him, watching his horrified expression:

"What are you doing?! Are you crazy?!"

Jason struggled frantically, a flickering fervor brewing within the terror in his eyes:
"Odin...that's Odin! It's Odin!!!"

Odin?

Angelica looked back at the sky and froze instantly.

The body of the dead knight was torn in two with a "rip".

The collapsing singularity suddenly surged in place, spiraling and twisting before exploding with a startling sound.

Gravitational lensing distorts light, and the accretion disk spreads wildly in all directions, flipping the space it spreads through layer by layer, transforming it into endless nebulae and meteorite tides.

Behind that towering mechanical form with outstretched arms, a cosmic spotlight, tearing through the heavens and earth, opened like the eye of an abyss—

It was a giant black hole that encompassed a whole world.

Everyone stared blankly at the scene before them, their soul triggers completely silenced within their bodies by the overwhelming spiritual pressure.

"what is that?"

Keng.

[Nerve connection in progress... occlusion complete.]

[Black hole engine operating normally, power: 58%]

[Full-body self-examination in progress... Nerve signals missing, integrity: 79%; Partial matrix-based prosthetic body enters locked state]

【Odin_T4-002-Ascension Architecture: Destroyer of the Underworld】

Armored sections are joined together, twisted threads are used, electromagnetic adsorption is employed, and layers are wrapped around the structure.

Precision metal crawled across his body surface, transforming into a solid, seamless exoskeleton armor that protected the black hole engine that was constantly collapsing and reacting in his chest.

A steel fist clenched, shattering the distorted vision. Amidst the hissing of the motor, the facial armor closed, and the photons in the head snapped together, emitting a pale blue light:
[Ascension Protocol Reboot Complete; Welcome Back, Delta-class Prototype Client.]

[Current prosthetic body load is abnormal, please be mindful of usage time...]

Pfft!
A figure suddenly knelt down in the tranquil nebula, breaking the silence of the clashing metal.

Angelica mechanically turned her head and saw Jason kneeling on the ground:

"Praise be to Odin...!!!"

He spread his arms wide, the runes on his body radiating an intense azure light, his eyes filled with fervor, loudly praising the ultimate goal of his faith.

Odin...?

Angelica murmured to herself, looking again at the mechanical body that was slowly landing, spewing out a violent gravitational field like wings.

Pulitzer? Raven?

She no longer knew what it was.

The sheepdog saw the same thing.

The blindfold had long been burned away by the bluish-green light and fire, which was the ultimate effect of the sedative.

The spirit of a human? No, that's not right, the spiritual components are abnormal...

Dead Apostle? No, that's clearly a human spirit...

The personality entity is chaotic, with an extremely high density of spiritual matter, making it unobservable, unobservable, unobservable—

Bang!
With a loud bang, the sheepdog's left eye suddenly exploded, sending up a plume of bluish-green smoke.

"What...are you?"

A pale blue light enveloped her:
"Your God."

The gravitational disk exploded and twisted, a warning sign of impending doom—

will die! will die! will die!

The sudden burst of intense spiritual pressure almost brought her to a standstill.

Amidst the distorted and turbulent gravitational waves, her veins bulged, her soul roared, and she channeled all her spiritual energy into a piercing shriek:
"Legion!!!"

The nebula burst open like soil, and a sharp claw grabbed her ankle and dragged her into the space.

The next moment, the black hole where she was originally located exploded, revealing Odin's teleported body.

From the surrounding space emerged countless crimson-red undead bodies, charging relentlessly towards Ji Li.

A pale blue light curtain swept across, and all individuals were marked and locked onto by Ji Li's head-up display.

As a dense stream of data washed over him, cylindrical structures suddenly sprang up from his shoulders and were instantly filled with black light and white light. The gravitational field of the black hole erupted in an instant: "Kneel down!"

The pitch-black gravity fell like a nebula, and all the Dead Apostles' bodies instantly crashed into the invisible ground, exploding into towering blood plasma.

The sheepdog, which had just emerged from its shell, collapsed to its knees amidst the shock and shattering of its bones, drenched in sweat.

"Asshole..."

With a distorted sound of gravity, she struggled to look up and saw the azure optical sensors and the towering mechanical body.

Exquisite, magnificent, otherworldly:

"...Stop playing tricks here!!!"

A crimson, slender wolf-shaped armor, its mane flowing, descended from the sky and enveloped her—

"It's just Mingzhao... I'm not either, I haven't killed anyone!!!"

The Limbo Prison opened, and a red spiritual field expanded in all directions, tearing out countless dead apostles from that world with countless spiritual threads.

One of the mud-covered bodies even merged with the image of a sheepdog.

But with a loud bang, the spreading Lingbo Prison suddenly trembled and stopped expanding.

Angelica's pupils constricted sharply:

"Bare hands... blocked the expanding Limbo?!"

The next moment, boundless cracks erupted and spread from that space, and before her horrified, mechanical gaze, they exploded with a deafening roar!

Beneath the swirling, invisible fragments, Odin, propelled by black gravity, and the sheepdog's spirit, in a state of extreme chaos, retreated backward.

"You... monster!!!"

Faced with the metal claws that tore through their own spiritual prison and were crushing them layer by layer, countless Dead Apostle husks connected by red spiritual threads rushed forward.

They charged forward one after another, exploding under the unstoppable steel claws. Their crimson spiritual essence and bright red blood plasma exploded, twisting and shaking apart the accretion disk array that enveloped Ji Li's body.

With a single movement, the sheepdog's decades-long collection of dead apostles' carcasses was annihilated, and the gravitational sting was right before their eyes—

"Command Seal: Branch..."

Snapped! ! !
Her head was finally completely covered and enveloped by the claws, held high in the air like a chick, allowing the thick, blood-red lines of the red command seals erupting from the back of her hands to bombard her body, but they could only remain trapped in the distortion of the gravitational field on her body, unable to even touch Ji Li's exoskeleton:
"Should we say goodbye to this world?"

The gravitational vibrations of the voice pierced her eardrums, causing her to bleed from all seven orifices in an instant.

The sheepdog gritted her teeth and tried her best to break free of the restraints by channeling her spiritual energy, but when faced with the large hand that tightly covered her face, she felt as if everything had sunk into nothingness.

Even the piercing gravity was already twisting her body and the soul armor on its surface:
"Who...who are you?!"

Answer! Give me an answer!!!
Her soul roared and howled in defiance.

She needed to know the answer: who had completely destroyed her years of planning and her life, leaving her unable to utilize the entire legion's resources and methods, and utterly crushing her?

There is absolutely no such thing as a ghostly light in the world.

"A spiritual place."

The trembling voice sent a chill down her spine.
"What?"

The crowd below, except for Jensen who was still kowtowing, were all listening intently, holding their breath and enduring the discomfort of the immense pressure on their souls.

"what are you saying?"

"How ridiculous!"

Ji Li's visor vibrated, and the dense metal units moved slightly in sync with his voiceprint.

"You plotted against my spiritual land, orchestrated my legacy, and intruded into my divine kingdom..."

"And now, you're still asking me who I am?"

In an instant, the sheepdog's pupils shrank to pinpoints:

"You are……"

boom! ! ! !

A destructive black light with white flashes tore her body apart, transforming into an expanding black hole that destroyed everyone's vision before collapsing abruptly—

When Angelica opened her eyes again, all she saw was an endlessly shrinking nebula.

They gathered together and came to the front of Odin's claws, where the spherical hole completely shrank and disappeared.

And sheepdogs?

In the warm sunset and wheat fields, there was no trace of her presence.

Completely shattered, his body utterly destroyed, with only three World Tree imprints jingling in Odin's palm.

Then, a pale blue light enveloped Angelica's vision.

Instantly, everyone tensed up, not daring to breathe, as they watched Odin's heavy body crash to the ground under the levitation of the gravity thrusters.

Silence fell as everyone remained absorbed in the conversation, until a sound of footsteps broke the silence.

Under the endless sunset, an old figure slowly appeared.
