Soul Trigger

Chapter 681 The Complete Form, Gravity Judge
The slight tingling sensation felt like an electric current traveling through my brain and nerves throughout my body, and then my consciousness seemed to enter an infinitely ascending channel.

At the end of that cloud, what appeared to his senses was endless freedom and vastness, and countless readily available information points:
"Cyberspace".

Ji Li opened his eyes. He had already connected to the core central system of the Hall of Heroes and was able to see everything stored there.

"The AI ​​personality warehouse is empty; nothing was left. The AI ​​programs here have also become idiots, with only the most basic operating logic remaining... But it's enough. Let me see how much is left in the armory..."

The Leap Wolf Legion has one remaining squad, the Firefly Combat Array has two remaining units, a certain amount of World Tree weaponry, some Centaur Planet Walker exoskeleton armor, and some saturated third skins...

Is this all that's left in the armory? Is it too little?
Ji Li's consciousness shifts:
Wait, he also left behind a Midgard Serpent logistics base... Does that mean I can build a planetary transport corridor from here?!
However, the "World Tree trunk" is missing, making it impossible to proliferate and complete unit construction...

Are there any others? The modification platform… but it's useless to the Awakened; he probably used it to extend Old Green's lifespan…

Ji Li's consciousness ceased to flow.

Compared to the once colossal Murphy building, Valhalla is rather modest.

But for this world, and for Ji Li's current situation, there's quite a lot to it.

How did "I" manage to hide an entire Hall of Heroes in this space, and how did I perfectly integrate with the spiritual essence?

This enormous structure is still operational, not by electricity, but by a circulating spiritual core. The Pioneers combined it with World Tree technology, making it capable of powering these technologies that are several generations ahead of this world.

As for the spiritual essence... based on his memories of spending time with Gray Fox, the founder of the World Tree, he and Gray Fox had already discovered the spiritual essence when they were high in the sky.

Even the naming of the spiritual essence was done by Ji Li.

If this spiritual substance is the "spiritual substance" of this world, then it is not impossible for spiritual substance to combine with World Tree technology.

Having sorted out the logic in his mind, Ji Li's consciousness began to plummet, crashing back into his body like a body falling freely from a great height—

A sudden, intense pain, as if shattering one's soul, erupted.

He suddenly knelt down, his entire body crackling with electromagnetic energy and sparks flying, startling Angelica who quickly moved away.
"Hey, are you alright...?"

Gravity twisted around Ji Li's body, and he barely opened his eyes, seeing the constantly fluctuating ascension agreement—

It is the memory of the pioneers, the spiritual essence remaining in those memories belatedly merging into his body; he is reclaiming a part of his past:

Regret, focus, urgency, distress.

A large amount of spiritual energy returned to Ji Li's body, or rather, awakened from his soul and consciousness.

The four-dimensional panel was rapidly changing, and all information about spiritual matter was becoming blurred, reshaped, and enhanced.

Ji Li opened her eyes, revealing black eyes with blue pupils.

The light, like a ring circuit, was sculpted in his eyeballs, drilling into a bottomless spherical abyss, releasing azure light and flowing binary data like a waterfall.
-

-
Affinity and willpower nearly doubled; Dead Apostle complete form.

Ji Li could feel the flesh and blood trigger of the Dead Apostle's body surging and pulsating deep within his soul, stirring up intense evil spiritual energy.

He activated his demonic transformation, and a black void exploded beneath his feet. Large, pitch-black hands enveloped his body, causing it to collapse abruptly, leaving him shrouded in black robes.

Similar in style to the Deadman's Jazz, but the rustic trench coat has been transformed into a highly reflective patent leather with a technologically advanced diamond pattern that shimmers with blue light.

The head transformed from a crow-like shape into an intricate, hard-surfaced armor, with a red light shining in the center that moved with Ji Li's gaze.

His hands had been completely transformed into silicon bionic material, and his body was covered by an extremely lightweight exoskeleton, concealed beneath an open coat.
"The Gravity Judge is essentially a body-modifying device..."

With a sudden jerk of his arms, a pair of mantis blades sprang from his arms, their blades illuminating a bright red laser beam.

The wrist flipped completely, revealing an open cannon muzzle with a black bullet aimed at it by laser.

He sheathed the mantis knife, and his left wrist mechanically collapsed and sprang up, revealing a high-tech portable wrist-worn machine gun that could switch between four modes: particle, cluster, beam, and gravity bombardment.

The bottom of the right arm collapsed, and a black grip popped out from the flip cover.

With a gentle twist from Ji Li, a crimson beam of light burst forth, emitting a tearing hum as it danced gently:
"Lightsaber?"

With a gentle twist, the bright red light transformed into a black beam of gravity with white edges.

In addition, there are gravity thrusters under the feet, grappling hook implants...

They look exactly like the cyborgs from Murphy's Big Structure.

This personality entity fully merged Death Star and Sir Death, and then underwent a transformation that reclaimed the spiritual essence from their memories.

This is not only a transformation into an evil spirit, but also a adaptation to the Soul Armament Rules of White Island.

If Odin hadn't been activated under conditions of dual-dimensional distortion and self-devouring, perhaps there would have been no need to fear the gaze of the shattered white ring.

Speaking of Odin...

In the wheat fields of the spiritual land, Ji Li could easily use Odin form.

The unfolded Odin is still the Hades Destroyer model, but its power has reached 80%, and 80% of its arsenal has also been opened.

Of the remaining 20%, only two special implants are unusable.

In Odin's system interface, the implant is consistently designated as a "matrix implant":
Artificial black holes.

“Great…I’m already looking forward to it.”

Another category is "Demon God Implant":
Demon God Factor Encapsulation.

This thing isn't completely unusable, but rather in a state where it's usable but not fully usable, somewhat like a poor connection.

Ji Li tried to turn it on.

Instantly, a dense, crackling sound erupted from his entire body as mechanical tentacles spread wildly across his spine.

Odin's body was instantly torn apart, revealing bright red muscle underneath—

"Demon God Factor Protein!?"

The iconic product of the Demon God Technology, with blood-red muscles like a leaping wolf, but he should have never undergone such modifications.
Odin's visor ripped open horizontally, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth as he roared.

But Ji Li wasn't feeling well at the moment. A moment of drowsiness was followed by a sudden, sharp pain in his head.

After a series of frantic convulsions and spasms, the body, which had been torn apart, finally snapped shut, returning to its original form as the Destroyer of the Underworld:

"Matrix Implant is a name I've never heard of before... This must be another modification that Grey Fox performed on me after my ascension..." In any case, with the memory retrieval complete, both my main body and Odin have experienced significant and effective growth.

Although the human spirit has not yet reached the stage of illumination, but is only at the stage of perfect echo, the body of the Dead Apostle has completely entered the complete form, corresponding to the illumination of the human spirit.

If a person's spirit also reaches the level of illumination, they should be able to activate the Underworld Destroyer at 100% power under the conditions of dual-dimensional distortion and self-devouring.

By then, will it be enough to touch the threshold of paradox?
It's worth noting that the pioneers were remembered as a "paradox" by Felin and Ludwig.

And of course, there are those memories.

It explains that the Pioneer was indeed his former self, and it also explains what the Pioneer did when he came to Red Maple Town, but it also brings more mysteries.

Why did the "pioneer" become such an idiot, and why did he fail again and again?

What exactly was the "me" of the past plotting in this world?
"More memories are needed: the past of Ludwig's collaboration with the pioneers, the power that allowed him to dominate this world..."

"Let's deal with the Red Maple Town issue first."

What happened to Ji Li was a completely different story in Angelica's eyes.

She watched as the enormous black hole swallowed him. Just when she thought the flickering light was about to destroy the world, the black hole suddenly shrank into a tiny dot, then erupted again, revealing a strange figure once more.

He was completely naked, with a well-proportioned figure and handsome features. His "approachability," which was both natural and even more so, made Angelica instantly look away.

What's wrong with this guy?!
Ji Li activated a cognitive disguise to conceal his body, and looked at Angelica with eyes that shimmered with azure light:
"Sorry for the waitting."

"Your Excellency, you..."

He appeared to have regained his power, but Angelica was unsure how to approach the being before her.

Is the Odin worshipped by the Grimm family the same Odin?

If the real Odin is the one standing before me, then those gods also exist—are they all…extraterrestrials? Or some kind of higher-dimensional beings?

But He is, after all, Odin, the ancient being whom the Green family worshipped, who replaced Pulitzer as he walked the earth.

Or is he simply a powerful Awakened One?
Angelica's mind is in complete disarray; her perception is impaired.

“You can call me Odin, or you can continue to call me Pulitzer. For me, a name is just a label; I only need to know that you are calling me.”

Angelica's eyes sparkled:

"So... Pulitzer, what exactly is going on?"

"It's a long story. Do you see that huge building?"

"It's hard not to notice... Are you an alien?"

"In a sense, it could be."

"Can?"

"This is the most acceptable explanation for your understanding. Of course, you can also consider me an ancient awakened one."

Red Maple Town holds the power I left behind in the past, and now I reclaim it and regain control.

In this process, I used the Pulitzer identity, and at the same time, some people who knew about this space wanted to seize this power—it's that simple.

Angelica remained silent for a moment:

"So what exactly is inside this building?"

Ji Li grinned and waved his hand casually.

The outer shell of Valhalla opened, and something shot out, crashing to the ground like dumplings being dropped into a pot, roaring towards the sky—

The pack of wolves kicked up dust in the wheat field and surged in with great force.

Mechanized centaurs gallop across the land, their massive heavy weapons undergoing mechanical transformation, illuminating laser blades, and opening up densely packed honeycomb missile bays on their backs.

One after another, large pods landed with a thud, unfolded, and revealed a variety of high-tech weaponry and exoskeleton armor:

"It's a weapon."

He opened his arms wide, his face beaming with a bright and proud smile, as if introducing his home to a guest.

Angelica stared blankly at the scene before her. These things were not spiritual creations, yet they possessed a spiritual aura.

But without a doubt, they are the culmination of technology that is a century, or even a millennium, ahead of this era.

Angelica remained silent, then finally moved her throat:

What... will happen to me?

Ji Li lowered his arm, his eyes flashing with blue light:
"That's up to you."

Angelica took a deep breath and gave a wry smile:
"Is a chivalrous salute acceptable?"

……

Sika and Andrew opened their eyes and looked up at the magnificent "Hall of Heroes" under the setting sun, momentarily stunned.

"Pulitzer...where is Pulitzer?"

The hollow female voice brought them back to their senses, and when they turned around, they saw Aquile stumbling and rushing towards the setting sun.

Under the endless sunlight, they saw old Green kneeling on the ground, tears streaming down his face; Jason prostrating himself in worship; and Angelica slowly rising, setting down the formalities in her hands.

"Everyone, it's alright now..."

Noticing the girl rushing towards her, she suddenly froze:
"Aquil...?"

The red-haired girl suddenly stopped, her eyes filled with hope as she looked at the figure in front of her.

He faced the setting sun, holding the World Tree Mark in his hand, as if he were carefully studying it.

Pulitzer?

The figure turned its head, but it was a completely unfamiliar face.

Aquil felt a sudden pang of fear and stumbled backward, covering his mouth and nose.

"Who are you? Where's my... my brother?"

"I am."

"No...you are...you are Odin..."

“I am Odin, and I am also your brother.”
