Soul Trigger

Chapter 709 Encounter in Chaotic Space

The old man, the source of shadow mentioned by the Shadow Lord, was one of her targets when she infiltrated the San Martin vault.

What did that guy just say?!

"Lord of Shadow Eclipse, did you understand? This guy just now..."

But before the Lord of Shadow Eclipse could answer, the white rabbit trembled slightly, opened its eyes groggily, and its spiritual energy suddenly surged.

The old man suddenly turned his head, as if countless malicious gazes were focused on her.

Bai Misha woke up instantly, letting out a rabbit-like squeal as her spiritual energy erupted—

“It’s over!!!”

Jin Misha disregarded the murmurs she had just heard, her steps swift as lightning, shadows spreading behind her as she moved like an arrow to save her other self.

The Black Old Man is the source of shadows, while the power of the White Misa comes from the Golden Misa.

The spiritual essence containing spatial properties was undoubtedly a great tonic for him, far surpassing that of ordinary human spirits.

But in the instant she lunged forward, Jin Misha tripped and fell flat on her face.

"Shadow Lord, what are you doing?!"

"Watch carefully."

The old man in black had already unleashed his chaotic shadow, sweeping towards Bai Misha. Bai Misha cursed and screamed as she retreated. The crimson shadow spirit from the other side of Bai Misha countered, but was instantly engulfed and bound.

"Damn it!!! Help!!!"

"Hang in there!"

Jin Misha struggled to pull her lower body, but the Shadow Lord's shadow tentacles were tightly wrapped around her ankles:
"What on earth are you going to do?!"

"You can't save her."

"Are you drunk?"

"The source of the shadow can only be controlled by one person."

You and she are still entangled, essentially two souls within one body. Only with her death can you control the source of the shadow.

Jin Misha's pupils suddenly contracted.

Just as the two were entangled, a burst of azure energy erupted.

The warehouse door was wide open, and two figures emerged from their spiritual energy, one chasing and the other fleeing.

Seeing the mess on Jin Misha's side, they were stunned and couldn't stop in time, crashing directly into it one after the other.

Jin Misha reacted extremely quickly, her eyes flashing with spiritual energy:

"Then I don't want it!"

After saying that, the shadow beneath his feet bounced, and he broke free from the Shadow Lord's grasp, lunging at the old man in black.

The Shadow Lord's furious shriek echoed from behind:

"idiot!!!"

……

Ji Li opened her eyes and saw a spacious area in front of her, which turned out to be the D District cafeteria.

Lots of debris and food scraps were scattered on the table and all around, and garbage was piled up on the ground, leaving the place in a mess, as if it had been bustling with activity just a moment ago.

Ji Li frowned: Heart-pounding Rubik's Cube.

After he violently destroyed it, it caused a spatial-temporal turbulence, which teleported him to the cafeteria in District D.

The surrounding spiritual environment was somewhat strange, filled with chaotic spiritual energy, and upon closer inspection, one could see faint azure blue floating in the air.

Clearly, these are the spacetime elements of the Heart-Pounding Cube, and they seem to have had some influence on the dimensions here, thus causing Ji Li's teleportation.

Using the spiritual circuits in Clementine's body, Ji Li tried to call out to her, but received no response, so he simply continued forward.

If you've just been teleported to another place, it's not a big deal; you can just go there again.

Ji Li twisted the lightsaber, intending to cleave open the mechanical door of the exit, but to his surprise, a burst of azure spiritual energy instantly deflected his attack—

"what happened?"

He placed his hand on the door and immediately sensed the change.

The spiritual energy of the Heart-Piercing Cube has merged into the dimensional environment here, seemingly becoming one with the entire Lingbo Prison. This means that he needs several times, or even dozens of times, more spiritual energy than before to break through these spacetime spiritual energies.

"However, it did not affect the function of the access card."

With a beep, the door opened, and Ji Li retrieved his gold-plated key card and stepped inside.

Bang!

The sound of flesh being crushed came from beneath his feet. Ji Li looked down and saw the pieces of a corpse he had stepped on, as well as the observation room, which was covered in blood.

On those intricate control panels, one could still see the bullet holes left by his wrist-mounted machine gun; below the window was the containment facility where he released the old black man—

After leaving the cafeteria, we went directly to the old man's ward.

Ji Li immediately turned around and went back to the cafeteria. At this moment, the door behind him had already been closed with a loud bang, but he blocked the last inch of the gap with one hand and violently pulled it open.

But what appeared before them was not the cafeteria, but another unfamiliar corridor.

Ji Li's faceplate flashed red light.

He let go, and the door behind him slammed shut with a loud bang. He then used his keycard to open it again.

As expected, the large containment space that should have been occupied by the Black Elder changed again:
"It's the power of the Heart-Pounding Cube... With the doors as the dividing points, each time a door is opened, it leads to a different room..."

He waited quietly for the door to close, his voice remaining calm:

"But similarly, a door can lead to the space I want if I try to find it enough times."

However, this means that Clementine, Rabbit Girl, Jasmine, and Cherry might very well get lost in these spaces...

The Tower of Babel has begun its subversion operation. I wonder how long this can hold off the building's owner. Let's finish this quickly.

With a beep, the door opened again, but this time the space behind it was far from peaceful. Amidst the surging heat and chill, long, black hair flowed like silk, charred from flames, and a familiar face was close at hand:

Pear?

Che Li, who was about to rush out from behind the door, bumped headfirst into the [Gravity Judge]. In that instant of astonishment, her mood sank to the bottom.

The spiritual pressure that even spiritual matter cannot penetrate is the light of the underworld!
The identity and spiritual characteristics cannot be determined. Apart from the spiritual pressure of the spirit, no useful information can be obtained.

In this situation, Che Li can only view everything she encounters as an enemy. Ideally, she should make it see the Sixth Star Lord behind her as being on her side and use him to eliminate the enemy...

In a split second, a plan was formed. Black ice erupted beneath Che Li's feet, and he was about to leave the doorway when he opened his mouth to call out.

But then a distinct, metallic voice came from beneath the armor:
"Lower your head."

Che Li's pupils suddenly contracted:

That sound... was it during the containment failure?!
With the Star Lord's flames right before her eyes, she gritted her teeth and chose to believe him, then suddenly lowered her head.

hum-

A crimson buzz swept across the top of her head in an instant, cutting through the flames that filled the sky, and then completely shattering them by the interwoven crimson light net.

Meanwhile, Che Li felt herself fall into a hard embrace, and in a dizzying moment, she was back on the ground:

"You're not hurt, are you?"

Che Li didn't have time to answer that question, and raised her hand to look to the side:

"Beware of the Sixth Star Lord..."

"Black Saintess... I didn't expect you to have accomplices..."

Amidst the raging flames, a half-dragon, its entire body glowing red, strolled in.

He slowly came to a stop, his entire body surging with dragon flames, and a pair of wings suddenly unfurled behind him:

"Perfect, another personality relic to add to your collection, you..."

Click.

The madman raised his gun and pulled the trigger.

The exploding gravity warhead instantly tore his upper body, along with the raging flames and his unfinished words, to shreds in the air, sending a torrent of blood gushing in all directions. Cherry was stunned.

Pfft!
The remaining lower body knelt on the ground, with only the residual heat of spiritual energy slowly surging.

Dead...?
An echo that had already stepped into the realm of the Netherworld... just died like that??
Cha Li stared blankly at the scene before her, her neck stiffening as she turned towards the Gravity Judge, only to find his visor facing her, seemingly never having left her body. Only then did she slowly put away the gun in her hand.

"Thank you... thank you, Your Majesty. May I ask... how should I address you?"

He knows my name, he recognizes me… Is he from Silla? Or is he an old acquaintance of Ji Li? But why is he on White Island? But Mingzhao…

She twisted and tried to break free from his embrace, but failed, and could only turn her head away from the bright red light.
"You should know who I am now. Regardless of why you helped me, the Illuminati will never forget your kindness. May I ask you..."

"Don't you recognize my voice?"

Che Li's eyes grew increasingly puzzled, but as the mask clicked and popped open, splitting and retracting back into Ji Li's back, the dragon ring was removed.

Her pupils suddenly contracted, her heart stopped beating, as if time itself had frozen for a moment:
"you……"

"Star Lord?!"

Screams came from the side. A burly man leading the group stared in horror at the scene before him. Just as he looked up and his eyes fell on Ji Li, the intense gravitational bombardment had already detonated several of his teammates around him.

Terrified, he turned and fled, transforming into a streak of light as he rushed towards the door at the end of the space:

"Damn it, how could there be a Dead Apostle here?!"

"Captain Xandar, the Star Lord, he..."

Before he could finish speaking, the bodies of his surviving teammates were sliced ​​apart by the crimson lightsaber, turning into pieces that scattered all over the ground like vegetables being chopped up.

The moment the heavy sliding door opened, a deadly red light shot straight at the burly man's back.

The approach of death caused his Trinity to tremble violently, and the surge of his will to survive caused a sudden burst of inspiration.

With a deafening explosion of shattered bones, the human cannonball slammed through the spatial essence of the Panic Cube and crashed into the space behind it.

Upon seeing the scene behind him, Ji Li's pupils contracted for a moment, and his speed increased dramatically once more—

"Jin Misha!!!"

Behind the door, Jin Misha, caught between two enormous shadows, suddenly opened her eyes.

This tug-of-war seemed to have lasted for quite some time. Suddenly awakened, she instantly broke the balance between the two shadows. The burst of turbulence instantly crushed the floor and rushed in all directions.

The muscular man had just gotten up when he saw Ji Li's devilish figure almost right in front of him.

With a scream, before she could even dodge, she was struck by the turbulent shadows behind her, and was sent hurtling towards Ji Li at faster-than-light speed, slamming the door panel against the frame.

The latter raised his hand and unleashed a madman's attack.

The violent gravity projectiles instantly shattered Xandar's lower body along with the door, but the space behind it was completely unfamiliar—

The moment the turbulence knocked Xandar away and closed the door, the Panic Cube's special properties took effect.

Ji Li's expression suddenly darkened.

"...Spare...spare my life...!"

He looked at the half-sandale pleading for mercy at his feet, expressionless, and lifted his leg. Without even letting out a scream, gravity had already completely pulverized it.

Those two shadows just now...

At that moment, he heard a soft "poof" sound and immediately looked down.

He saw Che Li spit out a mouthful of blood onto the ground, his face deathly pale.

He had no time to think, and immediately used the Death Knight's ability to extract the despair from its soul, unleashing a soul Mach blast upon it:
"how are you feeling?"

Che Li shook her head weakly, her vision blurry and warm. She clung tightly to his back, pressing herself against him—

If she hesitated at the moment her identity was revealed, those hesitations were completely shattered the instant she saw Ji Li rush towards Jin Misha:
"I never thought... I never thought I'd see you again... Waaaaah..."
