Soul Trigger

Chapter 711 Breaking the situation
The trembling trigger in his soul was instantly calmed. He remained silent for a few seconds, trying to call upon everyone he could.

Clementine: No reply.

Tombstone: No reply.

Film: No reply.

Ji Li abandoned calling out and instead picked up what was in her hand. The logical framework that had been frantically unfolding in her retina suddenly froze:

Access card.

At this moment, besides the gold-plated "Prime" access card, he also had a handful of blood-stained Grade A access cards, all of which he had obtained from the Sixth Star Lord.

The initial loss of control of the vault was caused by the people from Stargate, who were hunting down Carri.

But that's not something Ji Li needs to actively consider right now; the real issue is the access card.

He was so focused on saving lives that he briefly forgot about other factors:

Why is it that every time he uses his Prime key to access a room, it's the room he wants to go to?
With this in mind, Ji Li cleared his mind and used the A-level access card to open yet another door.

Behind this door is an employee dormitory, where only a shivering Level D staff member is inside.

Upon seeing Ji Li, he showed a surprised and delighted expression.

But Ji Li casually pushed him into the corner:
He had the right idea.

This Prime key card can not only open doors of all levels, but also take him to the room he wants in the spacetime chaos of the Saint Martin vault, according to his thoughts.

So... how is Jasmine doing now?

With this in mind, Ji Li casually tossed an A-level access card to the D-level personnel and used the universal gold card to reopen the dormitory door.

He saw a corridor, and there he saw Jasmine, but she was dead.

Her chest was pierced, her eyes wide open as she fell to the ground, a fatal blow.

Not far from her lay another corpse, its face completely disfigured, wearing the white coat of an A-level personnel, making it impossible to identify who it was.

Ji Li stepped forward and picked up a dark purple obelisk necklace from the corpse's neck.

Ji Li looked down at the obelisk necklace around her neck and fell silent.

Rabbit Girl's necklace, but he took it from the Dead Water Knight.

Therefore, this corpse is him.

In this space, there exists something capable of killing him, and this same thing also killed Jasmine.

So, who could kill him now that he possesses the form of Odin?
With this thought in mind, Ji Li opened the next door and saw a tall figure.

The man was wearing a divine robe, stood three meters tall, and had thick, light-yellow curly hair, styled in a head full of perforations.

Owner: Bertrand Ludwig.

He had his back to Ji Li, but when he sensed the movement behind him, he turned around. The moment he saw Ji Li, a look of confusion appeared on his face:

"you……"

A dangerous aura enveloped him, and his soul trigger vibrated. Ji Li suppressed the urge to activate the Lord's Decree and transform into Odin, and closed the door behind him.

It is indeed a formidable enemy, but it is still unknown how many times Mingzhao will perish.

Did I die by your hand?

How long has it been? The owner has already arrived at the vault... What are you three doing?
But now is not the time to confront him head-on and prove myself; rather, the function of the access card has been fully confirmed.

The door opened by this access card will take you to the place you want to go.

The C-914 universal adapter... is indeed a marvel. However, the access card can only control space, not time.

The spacetime anomaly here ultimately stems from the Panic Cube.

Therefore, by going to the room where the Heart Cube still exists and absorbing it into a personality relic, one can completely control the entire chaotic San Martin Vault.

In this way, whether it's saving people or finding the remains of gods, all that's needed is to control everything.

drip.

Ji Li opened the next door.

……

Intense pressure.

Staring at the dark muzzle of the gun in front of him, Wilding Hughes swallowed the metallic taste in his mouth; his back was already soaked with cold sweat.
The fully-fledged Dead Apostle—without a doubt, this was the most powerful enemy he had ever faced.

He gripped the Heart-Pounding Cube, his nerves taut like a bowstring:

Will he shoot? Will he...?

"The last person to threaten Odin in his past life is probably still swimming in a black hole right now."

Gunshots roared, and the trigger of the soul trembled.

Death flashed before his eyes, and Virtin couldn't even move his feet as he watched the hellish chamber shatter the Heart-Pounding Cube in his hand and grind it towards him—

boom! ! ! !

The suddenly erupting giant hand blocked the subsequent projectiles and narrowly intercepted some of the exploding Heart-Pounding Cubes. It stuffed the ball into Virtin's hand and pulled him backward.

Upon seeing the enormous body appear before him, Ji Li's mask flashed wildly, and his soul trigger vibrated erratically.
Odin?!
Without a doubt, this guy who suddenly appeared and caused trouble was Odin, the product of the Vault of San Martin's research on the remains of the gods... But how could that be?!
In a moment of shock, he activated the Law without hesitation, and quickly entered Odin form. The two clashed and fought fiercely, their parts shattering as each blow landed squarely.

Ji Li became increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed:

This guy actually knew exactly what I was doing?!

Gravity bombardment, hive missiles, drone launches, or black hole punches...

Every move and application of all the mechanical modules is exactly the same as mine, it's like a copy of myself!
Amidst the deafening roar, Virtin stared in shock at the two colossal creatures locked in combat before him.

Run...run away now!
He had just turned around when he saw the door behind him open, and a demonic figure emerged from it—yet another Gravity Judge:
Another dead apostle?!

Is this a uniform? How come it looks exactly the same? He was about to dodge, but the Gravity Judge completely ignored him, roared, and transformed into Odin to join the battle.

The previously evenly matched situation instantly shifted to one side, but Virtin no longer knew which of his assassins was trying to kill him.

Are these three the same person?! Is it an ability? Or is it caused by the storax?

He glanced at the shattered Heart Cube in his hand. The chaotic battle between the three Odins and the surging azure spatial energy around him made him dare not think any further. He turned around and fled to the room behind him.

But the door suddenly opened—

The fourth dead apostle was standing behind the door.

Having become somewhat numb, Wilting considered the situation just now. Since this Dead Apostle would probably join the battle anyway, he no longer needed to hide.

So he prepared to charge in with a shoulder charge, but the fourth Dead Apostle showed no intention of dodging at all.

Before Virtue could react, he bumped into the other man's arms as if throwing himself into his embrace.

WHAT?

In an instant, he was pulled inside by the other person, and the door closed.

"you--"

"Shut up."

The fourth Dead Apostle, or rather, the true original Ji Li, opened his mask and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Then, he took the bewildered Virtin's Panic Cube from his hand, casually tossed him aside, fired a laser rope that wrapped him up like a glowing mummy, and collapsed to the ground. He then clutched the shattered cube in his hand with a sigh of relief.
"It finally worked."

At this moment, the number was frozen at 639 in Ji Li's retina.

This was his 639th attempt, and he finally succeeded.

Using the universal access card, he did indeed return to the moment the Rubik's Cube shattered.

But the first time, the Rubik's Cube was broken, he couldn't get any of the broken pieces, and he was also entangled with another version of himself.

The second time, he changed his strategy and used Odin to forcibly seize the bullet, successfully stopping it, but only managed to get the cube fragments. Then he was entangled by another version of himself again.

It was the first time he realized that he was actually quite a damn annoying person.

They wouldn't let go, and several times they couldn't even get through the door, forcing him to tell them how the bastards here stole his "Odin".

After trying many times, he realized that he could not return to the point when the Rubik's Cube was intact; the earliest he could do was the moment it burst.

Through a series of attempts, he chose to rescue Virtin, resorting to coercion, bribery, and even violence. After numerous attempts, he learned a solution from her:
At least we can salvage the Rubik's Cube remains.

So he acted again, seizing the Rubik's Cube fragment in one go, but he got entangled in it. The force of their struggle caused the fragment to explode a second time, and he failed.

After countless attempts, he finally realized a problem:
He alone cannot defeat another version of himself.

He tried to win over Virtue later on and get his help.

But Verdin, who was only at the Echo level, couldn't even defeat the Gravity Judge wielding the Madman, and he was completely helpless against Odin; a mere glancing blow would mean certain death.

The plan stalled, but Ji Li suddenly made a new discovery regarding the spacetime chaos.

The Heart Cube doesn't simply copy and separate spacetime; it creates countless timelines.

When Ji Li intervened in a timeline where a Rubik's Cube exploded, that timeline then developed into even more timelines.

This means that in the next room that Ji Li is most likely to open, there will be two Odins fighting for the Rubik's Cube.

Wouldn't that give me an ally? As long as I go to a timeline where there are already two Odins fighting, my past self would be my current ally.

After opening the door again with this idea in mind, he knew that the plan was feasible.

The room the master key card led him to did indeed contain two men who were already fighting.

However, he may have underestimated his own tactical skills, as he was able to continue interfering with the Rubik's Cube even when the two sides were evenly matched.

This resulted in Ji Li intervening in the room where two Odins were fighting to seize the Rubik's Cube fragments, which were still destroyed by the opposing Odins due to their distraction.

Damn it, how could this bastard be so despicable?

It's not surprising that Ji Li was initially unaware of the consequences and mechanisms caused by the Rubik's Cube, since the earliest timeline of Ji Li, before the Cube was destroyed.

In his arrogant mind, these other versions of himself that suddenly appeared, whether they were monsters or demons created by the St. Martin's Vault using the remains of God or something else, he himself must be unique, and the others were all imitations. Kill them.

His operational principle was that you must never let the enemy get what they want.

Therefore, Ji Li chose quantitative change:
Upon entering the room where two Odins were already locked in combat, Ji Li transformed into Odin himself, creating a third timeline:

A room where two Odins fight one.

If one Odin can't take you down, then add another. If that still doesn't work, add yet another.

After countless attempts, he finally obtained the Rubik's Cube fragments and could proceed with the next step of his plan.

The whole process was full of surprises, and now he understood why the vault owner, Bertrand Ludwig, had appeared in the vault so quickly.

It wasn't that his Dead Apostle colleagues outside weren't helpful; rather, according to the timeline, he was bound to be held up here for a long time, which would inevitably lead to Bertrand Ludwig setting foot in the St. Martin's Vault in the future.

The temporal and spatial chaos means that Ji Li might encounter Bertrand Ludwig, who will enter the Saint Martin vault in the future, ahead of time.

According to the Ascension Protocol's timeline, six hours have passed since the outbreak of the out-of-control event, and he needs to speed things up.

Ji Li looked at the glowing rice dumpling on the ground. To be honest, he had almost developed feelings for this guy among countless parallel versions of him.

But what is this guy staring at with wide eyes?

Ji Li turned around with a slight puzzlement, after all, the new room she had just entered was also a new parallel universe.

Then he saw a room full of golden Velding Hughes behind him, silently watching the two of them.

Ji Li: "..."

All of the Wilding Hughes he had taken away gathered in this room.
