Soul Trigger

Chapter 690 Odin's Laws
Then he turned around and looked at Bordeaux, who was trembling as he entered the space bubble.

The latter, seeing the mess of paste on the floor, swallowed hard.

"Excuse my bluntness, but this could lead to more trouble..."

No, that won't happen.

With a casual wave of his hand, Ji Li projected a screen of light onto the physical Hall of Heroes high in the sky.

The scene shown on the light screen was Kane sitting in Green Manor.

He was in control of the situation, pressing Ji Li and the others present for details regarding the Pioneer's legacy—

“I have uploaded his personality, and he will live in Valhalla, answering all questions from the Ludwig family without his knowledge.”

Seeing this, not only Bordeaux, but even Angelica was terrified.

They were unaware of the specific concepts of intelligent personality and cyberspace, only knowing that it was essentially about replicating a soul and then throwing it into an illusion.

Technological creations like Valhalla are capable of receiving spiritual matter and electronic information.

Kane will be imprisoned in Valhalla forever, yet he believes he is still in control.

Cyberspace will guide him, construct the necessary scenarios, and guide him to reveal all the information Ji Li needs.

As for the possible inquiries from the Ludwig family?
If the phone rings, just have him answer it in cyberspace.

World Tree Technology, isn't that amazing?
At that moment, electrical signals flashed in the sky, and a message from a walkie-talkie was relayed to this location by Valhalla:

"Captain, that scary little girl is gone... Damn, being around her was too creepy."

"Juno? She didn't do anything?"

"No, she destroyed that house and the underground labyrinth, as well as the remaining rituals of the Dead Apostles, and went to track down the master of that ritual... How is the situation on your end?"

On our side...

Angelica glanced silently at the paste on the ground—

"already solved."

"What... what should we do with those soldiers? Should we lure them all into the space too...?"

"No need for that," Ji Li said, looking up.

“Leading the way for him is only to ensure Juno has enough time to leave Red Maple Town; as for the others…”

His eyes lit up with azure light, data cascaded down like a waterfall, and blue light began to flow through the cracks on the surface of Valhalla:
"Kill them all."

……

On the road outside the town, soldiers who had just set up a forest patrol post by the roadside stopped a vehicle leaving the town.

The priest stepped out of the car, his eyes flashing with blue light. Instantly, his body twisted and multiplied like a Transformer, transforming into a giant centaur armor that crushed a soldier.

Gunfire erupted, spiritual energy surged, and brilliant sparks shattered against the thick, precise armor, crushing the entire forest outpost to pieces.

At Green Manor, Aquile, standing beside his female lieutenant Anne, transforms into a Red Ant Knight and suddenly leaps into action.

As the former was horrified, Andrew burst through the door, his laser claws lashing out at him.

In the town center, several beams of blue light descended from the sky.

To the astonishment of the black-clad soldiers, several tall, third-skinned armed soldiers stood up, grabbed one of the awakened individuals who had just taken control of himself, and twisted his arm.

……

In a daze, Kane suddenly opened his eyes, drenched in sweat and panting heavily.

He looked around and realized he was in a car on his way to Red Maple Town.

The face of the female adjutant, Anne, appeared in the rearview mirror; her pretty face even smiled at me.
"Sir, did you have a nightmare?"

"Um……"

Recalling the nightmare, especially the mechanical construct that smashed him, Kane broke out in a cold sweat, and found it all rather absurd—

The legacy of the pioneers is reappearing on the earth... How could I have such a dream...?

Generally speaking, the dreams of awakened individuals fluctuate with deep emotions, which affects their spiritual core.

Therefore, dreams are a very serious matter, which may indicate that this trip to Red Maple Town will not go smoothly. Since there are already Dead Apostles around, Odin's treasure may have gone wrong.

If they've already been exposed in the town, then it's no longer a matter of confidentiality agreements; the townspeople must be slaughtered...

He made an evangelical gesture and symbolically offered a prayer.

"Speaking of which..."

The adjutant in the front seat suddenly spoke up:
"Sir, you haven't finished explaining the records of the pioneers to me last time. Why did your family betray such a being back then?"

"Last time? When did I talk to you about that?"

Kane was a little puzzled, but didn't think much of it and casually said:

"My knowledge is incomplete. I only know that his remains were a huge treasure, capable of helping the family advance further at the time. As for why our ancestor Ludwig would go to such lengths, I have no idea..." "So, we did indeed betray the pioneers who helped the Ludwig family rise to power?"

"That's right, it's all about the victor and the vanquished. Even the most mysterious paradoxes have their moments of defeat and disintegration..."

"break down?"

"Hmm... It's said that those remains were derived from his dismembered body. Although it's unclear why they look the way they're recorded, like alien technology, that's the mystery surrounding the Pioneer..."

The female adjutant suddenly fell silent, but her question triggered Kane's memories:
"To be honest, I don't know what those things can do. I haven't figured out what their function is even after all these years. This is my third time in Red Maple Town, and I don't know when I'll be able to truly uncover their secrets."

It is said that the Dead Apostles of the Tower of Babel were also very interested in these things, and some of the lost items seem to have been taken by them...

"I have another question. Is it possible for someone to sneak into the deeper parts of the San Martin Museum and take away the remains of the gods inside?"

Kane laughed heartily:

"Absolutely impossible."

"Even if the Dead Apostles attack the city, massacre the city, and kill all the powerful Netherworld Illumination experts, including the Pavilion Master, what remains deep within the remains of the gods will kill anyone who dares to touch it."

"Was this arranged by the pioneers?"

"No, that is the enemy of the Pioneer. That thing is not hostile to us; perhaps it remains there to ensure that he will never be resurrected."

After the long conversation, Kane felt that something was amiss.

Why is the road getting longer and longer? We've been driving for so long and we still haven't arrived.

Confused, he interrupted the conversation:

"How long until it arrives?"

The rubber tires rubbed against the ground, producing a harsh and loud sound.

Kane stumbled and suddenly realized that he was the only car around him.

A sense of foreboding washed over him, and he looked up at the rearview mirror:

"Annie?!"

But what he saw was not his adjutant, but a face that was both strange and familiar, as if he had seen it in a dream.

Instantly, his expression turned to utter terror:
"You are……"

A pair of azure eyes instantly locked onto his gaze, and indifferent words came from beside him:

【confirm. 】

[Command received. Initializing the intelligent personality "Knight of Faith Kane". Program in progress...]

The clear voice echoed in Kane's ears, and he instantly realized something, his eyes filled with despair:
"Wait... No! No!!!"

An endless void emerged, binary data washed over like a waterfall, and the code was pieced together anew.

Kane suddenly opened his eyes, saw the vehicle driving in front of him, and breathed a sigh of relief:

I had a nightmare...

……

In the Hall of Heroes, the azure light in Ji Li's eyes gradually faded, and a flash of anger appeared and disappeared in his eyes:
"Dismemberment...and also, the enemies of the Pioneers?"

He looked up at the towering Hall of Heroes, and suddenly, he heard the voice of the Ascension Agreement.

The sound came from afar, like some kind of ethereal murmur.

Upon closer listening, it turned out to be some kind of prayer.

The voices varied in pitch and volume, and included men, women, young and old.

Someone is thanking him, for giving him strength.

Some people are expressing relief, thankful for his existence.

Some people are still questioning whether he brought about the suffering.

Those were the voices of all living things on this land.

A wisp of blue light rose in Ji Li's palm, carving and sculpting, accompanied by a stinging sensation in his soul, until a mark finally took shape: —
[Inherent Law: Carbon as the Essence]

One of the territorial rules: Within one's own territory, reveal the true self of carbon transformation (currently: Odin - Destroyer of the Underworld), and synchronize with the progress of the resurrection.

[Inherent Law: Rainbow Bridge]

Territory rule questioning: Combat units linked to Valhalla can be freely deployed or recalled within the territory.

[Command: Reality Hacking]

Odin's lordly decrees can project onto Valhalla, covering an area and temporarily turning it into his territory for a certain period of time.
