Soul Trigger

Chapter 697 Madman
The scene gradually froze, and Ji Li slowly opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

Then a thunderous buzzing sound exploded in my ears, reverberating throughout my soul:
"Desire to do whatever one pleases."

As a young man, he envied the clients of call girls and the wealthy men who kept girls in the Black Well Apartment.

He wished he could be one of those people entangled with fiery bodies, but compared to the Ascended, he was nothing.

This street was like a game to him; as an ascendant, he could do whatever he wanted with a handful of illegal banknotes.

People around him respected him, admired him, and revered him as a god.

Later, the ascendant died, and before crushing his brain, he was finally able to scatter the moldy banknotes in front of him.

The dream suddenly shattered, and Ji Li opened his eyes to find his room at the Flash Street Hotel right in front of him.

He looked down and saw that he had transformed into the Gravity Judge, with a strangely shaped machine in his hand.

With a flick of his wrist, the mechanical device snapped open from its folded state, connecting and transforming into a square-shaped firearm, gleaming with an industrial sheen.

[The Madman: The Starting Point of the Legendary Mercenary 'Odin's' Childhood, the Key to Unlocking His Dark Past, the Mark of Desire.]

He casually aimed at the wall, the numerically controlled HUD of the Ascension Protocol appearing in his cold eyes, and pulled the trigger directly.

The pitch-black particles transformed into explosive streams that instantly destroyed the walls and everything behind them, creating a continuously expanding hole that pierced through the entire Flash Street Hotel.

Folded Gravity Beam Launcher: Madman. This is the branded weapon that his initial desires manifested in.

It can draw upon the energy of black holes to directly launch standardized gravitational munitions, has multiple firing modes, and can be folded and deformed as needed.

Ji Li flicked his wrist again, and the madman folded into a rifle, which he skillfully pulled back to check.

With another sharp pull, the heavy, technologically advanced anti-material sniper rifle...

With the final pull, the Gravity Pulse Rocket Launcher takes shape, its rectangular cuts displaying a well-balanced and orderly design, its jet-black luster shimmering with light.

Finally, the machine collapsed layer by layer into a small pistol, which twirled in his index finger before being tucked into the holster at his waist.

The Nine Desires no longer increase in value; instead, the values ​​that should have increased have transformed into this gun in a more violent form.

The spiritual energy fluctuations it emits are the most powerful on Ji Li's body besides the Odin form.

As for the building that he supposedly blew up on the street?

It doesn't matter, he's getting promoted, and tonight he'll definitely be Birmingham's most arrogant immortal.

When the hotel manager and Angelica arrived, they only saw Ji Li, who looked arrogant and innocent, and countless alarmed guests.

……

"You mean you don't know what happened, and you only saw this thing at the scene?"

The person in charge of the Birmingham Flash Street is a smart woman in a suit with a very masculine buzz cut.

She clutched the shard of the oil painting in her hand, watching Ji Li sitting opposite her, arms crossed, seemingly lost in thought as he surveyed the room's interior. Veins bulged on her forehead.

"Are all the new recruits at the Royal Asylum this arrogant now?"

“I’m so sorry…” Angelica had to get up to comfort the other person and prepare an excuse for Ji Li:

“Ms. McCarthy, his oath rules are like this, please understand…” The person in charge, McCarthy, looked at Ji Li's incomparable appearance, stared for a long time, and then sighed helplessly:
"The residual Dead Apostle spirit energy at the scene is astonishing. These are already extraordinary times, and... do you know who lives on that floor?"

"Appreciate further details."

"Illuminati."

"I will go on behalf of the Royal Asylum to apologize in person..."

"It's not about apologizing; the situation is more complicated than you think."

She ignored Ji Li, a minor character, and solemnly addressed Angelica:

"The Black Saintess is seeking refuge in Flash Street. You have just returned to Birmingham, and your teacher may not have been able to inform you in time."

“Protection?” Angelica frowned. “Weren’t they here to escort the return of the burial object…”

"It's just an excuse to ask the Ludwig family for help. You should know that the Duke's mansion is the one that really makes the decisions in Saint-Germain, but there has been no response from them yet."

This was unpleasant to hear, and Angelica frowned frequently, but it was the truth:

"What happened?"

"Half a month ago, on the mainland of the Keton Federation, the secret society Stargate suffered a defeat in a conflict with the Illuminati, losing an Immortal and having Limbo destroyed."

Subsequently, Stargate launched a frenzied reprisal against Illuminati members outside the territory of the Keton Federation, killing several Supreme Overlords outside the Keton Federation and destroying their base in Birmingham.

The next target is the Illuminati Black Saint, who is currently in St. Andrews County and will arrive in Birmingham in a few days.

"The Illuminati's strongholds have been destroyed, yet they're still heading this way... Are they considering the Duke's mansion?"

McCarthy nodded:
"The entire floor is now filled with Illuminati members. This sudden outbreak will only make the situation more complicated..."

"An outside secret society has attacked your headquarters... This is really pushing its luck. Why not just kill them?"

Ji Li's sudden interruption made McCarthy chuckle:
"Child, don't talk nonsense. The adult world isn't as simple as you think."

Ji Li shrugged:

"Is she even more naive than me?"

McCarthy ignored him.
"Nobody wants to offend anyone when you're on the street..."

"Then you'll offend both sides."

"This is an order from the Meursault family of the Blood Pact Hermit Society! I have no choice but to obey!"

"So you're leaving a few Illuminati members here?"

"Because we stand by our word, our agreement with the Illuminati will only end after the Black Saintess arrives! This is a rule recognized by Stargate and all other large secret societies!"

"That's why they're stuck in the middle, pleasing neither side."

"Enough, I'm warning you, kid. Even though you're from the Royal Assumption, the problem lies in your room, and you're still a suspect..."

"I am not a suspect; you should thank me."

"Thank u???"

McCarthy was furious, but Ji Li's next words stunned her:
"A deadly attack occurred at Flash Street Building, and you're not going to pass on this huge scapegoat that's been handed to you?"

"Dead Apostle Raid..."

She pondered for a moment:
“Ms. Laurent, please stay here. I need to make a phone call.”
