Soul Trigger

Chapter 715 Destruction
"Ji Li, waaaaah, I miss you so much... You really didn't die! I knew you didn't die, waaaaah..."

Ji Li yanked the white gauze that was stuck to her body off:

"Alright, now's not the time for you to act cute. What's going on with you, little bunny girl?"

Bai Misha was suddenly stunned, and casually wiped away her tears:

"It's the Shadow Lord...it wants to possess me!"

Before he finished speaking, countless chaotic shadows burst forth from all directions. Ji Li, holding Bai Misha in one hand, leaped into the black hole and exploded on the spot.

Those shadowy spiritual substances were instantly devoured and removed from the battlefield, and Ji Li's figure appeared beside Virtin along with the exploding black hole.

But the next moment, the entire space was covered by chaotic shadows, and countless monstrous shadows swarmed towards the three of them:

"Chief Commander, stop vomiting and accept the challenge! And you, what do you mean by 'possession'?"

The black hole erupted.

With a formidable enemy at hand, Virtin disregarded his discomfort and hastily engaged in battle.

Ji Li appeared in the shadows as the constantly flashing black hole appeared, heading straight for the core where Jin Misha was located—

"Under the guidance of the Shadow Lord, we infiltrated the San Martin Vault using our Deep D-class personnel status to steal the Shadow Essence..."

"How long ago was this?"

"About half a month? Or a month?"

"Can you say something that's helpful for understanding the current situation?"

"Isn't that exactly what I'm saying! Because Jin Misha is my alternate personality, they have to kill my main personality in order to merge with the Shadow Source, but..."

Ji Li shattered the overwhelming waves of shadows with a backhand punch:
"When did you become the dominant personality?"

"That's not important! Anyway, my other self had a falling out with him, and then..."

"Speak! The important points!"

"The Lord of Shadow Eclipse wants to merge with the source of shadows, 'The Black Old Man.' It is using Misa as a vessel and is merging with her soul. Her body is now under my control because I have no body!"

Odin stopped in his tracks, his body cracking open inch by inch, steam hissing out:

"Why didn't you say that earlier?"

The next moment, the enormous black hole erupted, clearing the entire area. Ji Li's body appeared before Jin Misha's sleeping soul, his huge, precise claws crushing through the chaos and grabbing straight at her.

The chaotic shadow beneath her suddenly opened countless eyes, letting out a heart-wrenching wail:

"It's no use! The fusion has already begun! Everything will be completed in the Shadow Dimension; you're too late!!!"

"Is it?"

The shadow crumbled inch by inch, and Ji Li's hand pierced into Jin Misha and the endless shadow beneath her body as if stabbing into a marshmallow, initiating a gravitational leap.

In an instant, Bai Misha felt everything before her stretch and contract; the protons and spiritual matter that made up the world trembled and were twisted by gravity, transforming into a spherical wormhole that sucked her and Ji Li into it—

"Honey, when did you learn this trick?!"

"I just learned it."

The two figures suddenly appeared in the endless shadows.

Jin Misha's figure also exists here, just like the state outside, enveloped by two completely different shadows, permeating and merging with each other.

The moment Ji Li entered this place, the two shadows began to rage wildly.

But before the Lord of Shadows could make a move, the black hole erupted again, and Ji Li's intricate steel claws had already appeared on Jin Misha's body, or more precisely, on her soul—

Tear!

Endless shadows spurted out like blood, and the spirit was violently torn off by Odin, instantly turning into a black arrow and returning to Bai Misha's body.

A double scream erupted instantly.

With a cry of "Ouch!", a white rabbit flew out of Bai Misha's body.

Jin Misha's soul returned to her body, and her white hair and red eyes quickly reverted to her gray hair and gray eyes. She fell straight to the ground, where Ji Li caught her with one hand.

"Ji Li!!!"

The dark purple shadow on the right cursed venomously as it hurtled towards him, causing him to collapse completely.

The chaotic shadow on the left then transformed into a black old man, who was about to disappear slyly.

But a giant steel claw grabbed his head and, as the black hole exploded, he was instantly pulled out of the shadow dimension and returned to the Vault of the Blind Prison.

The white rabbit rolled out of the black hole, its small body carrying Jin Misha's physical form as they rolled several times on the ground, until they were stopped by a golden holy sword formed from spiritual energy.

Veltin blinked: "...Are you alright?"

The white rabbit shook its head, slapped his holy sword away, jumped back onto Jin Misha's body, shook itself, and then slapped her twice across the face.

"Damn it! He's still not awake!"

"That's my container!!!"

The wailing behind him continued, and the Shadow Lord's spiritual energy, filled with anger and resentment, erupted.

Ji Li held the frantically struggling, old man in one hand, and raised the other hand without turning his head—

boom! ! !
Ten thousand tons of shadow bombarded Odin's claws, blue and purple light collided, and the resulting explosion, like a two-colored barrier, expanded throughout the entire space.

"Ji Li!!! I should have killed you back in Silla!!!"

"Is it you still causing trouble?"

"I told you, that's my vessel! The will of the Evil Lord cannot be disobeyed!!!"

Instantly, the shadows in the entire area erupted, all condensing towards the sky, transforming into a storm of Shadow Erosion. Odin's head nerve energy flashed a deep blue, and sensors detected the presence of several Shadow Erosion Lords in the current area:

Overlapping timelines for individuals?!

Just as Ji Li snatched the Rubik's Cube fragments from his own hands, all these Shadow Lords were created by replicating themselves one-to-one in this way.

"Give me the container!"

The countless chains and shadow erosions formed the descent of the Lord of Shadow Erosion.

It had two horns on its head, wore a cloak that stretched out in countless directions, and was surrounded by rattling chains. Within the cloak, countless eyes were open, all staring at Ji Li.

And there are more than a dozen such entities due to the overlapping of timelines.

The piercing gaze caused his shadow to boil, transforming into tentacles that grew endlessly from the gaps in his armor and beneath his feet, binding him tightly.

The will of the Evil Lord also began to cause the dimensions to tremble, and countless Evil Derivatives grew out of the endless shadows.

A flash of azure light appeared in Odin's eyes, and the black hole engine on his chest sprang up and contracted, unleashing its maximum power to pull everything around him into the black hole.

The sensor beeped, locking onto the one in the very center of Ji Li's field of vision:
"It's you..."

The black hole contracted, opening up beside Ji Li's target. Odin slashed down with his claw, piercing through the opponent. Amidst heart-wrenching screams, the black hole expanded again, instantly sucking the two of them in.

Space was distorted and contracted by gravity, transforming into an endless wormhole. Odin's figure sped through it, one hand holding the struggling old man and the other grabbing the madly roaring Shadow Lord.

Inside the enclosed container that extends behind them are two rabbit girls and a white rabbit who were bouncing around like three-dimensional pinballs because they didn't have time to fasten their seatbelts. The latter's eyes are already darting around.

At the end of the wormhole was an unknown room, which was instantly reached under the effect of gravitational jump. The roaring Shadow Lord was smashed into dark purple mud by Ji Li, and the spiritual energy soared into the sky.

Before it could react, the warp was activated again, tearing out an entire section of the ground and dragging it into the black hole.

The Lord of Shadows screamed in agony as his body was carelessly flung to the edge of the wormhole. The twisted gravity continued to tear his body apart, until he was ravaged at the end of the next room, and then into the next black hole...

In the ever-expanding timeline room, Odin frantically dragged the Shadow Lord's descending form through the space.

Its body and spiritual essence were continuously decomposed and torn apart. After a long tearing process, it was finally brought out of the black hole by Ji Li, like a deathly stroll through time and space, returning to the original room of the god's remains.

The kinetic energy and spiritual matter, which seemed to have traveled a light-year, transformed into a violent force, slamming it into the opposite wall like a meteorite.

It was as if the entire building was bearing a tremendous weight, and the violent force, like a domino effect, crushed the walls of the Shadow Lord that were being impacted, causing billions of cracks to erupt, raising deafening roars and storms of dust.

The motors roared, and the violent temporal rush caused electric arcs to erupt from Odin's joints. A massive amount of pressure poured out of the machine, turning into evaporated coolant that sprayed out with a hiss.

Before the Lord of Shadow Eclipse could make a further move, Ji Li straightened up, his chest expanding and contracting, transforming into a jet-black gravitational beam that drew in layers of black holes, ultimately piercing through the Infinite Shadow Eclipse—

boom! ! !
Time and space exploded and twisted, destroying the Shadow Lord's body at the molecular level.

It screamed in agony, cursing Ji Li's soul, as endless shadows and several timeline entities converged, attempting to block the destructive power.

But he soon discovered a despairing truth:

"Time and space...?!"

Odin's visor cracked open, releasing a distinct, cold laugh:

"You have no chance to sing."

On the back of his hand, a strange clock was constantly reversing, finally stopping and emitting a vibrating chime.

Film's pocket watch.

After transforming into Odin, this magical psychic artifact, under the influence of spiritual cognition, became a device integrated into his body.

He had now saved everyone. The chaotic and overlapping timelines no longer needed to exist. This was the last power that Philin left him before sinking into the pocket watch.

End the chaotic timeline.

"It's not over yet... The shadow is ever-present, and no one... can escape the gaze of the Evil Lord..."

"Even if they're Dead Apostles, they can't!!!"

The deafening wails and screams, the converging timeline destroyed the last possibility and tore apart the last timeline entity of the Shadow Lord.

The gravitational beam suddenly expanded, completely crushing its last words, turning them into a sky full of exploding shadowy black liquid, shattering completely, leaving behind the lingering echo of the evil sovereign's lament.

The beam of light flickered, contracted, and the remaining energy vanished abruptly as a thin, distorted line.

A violent ring of air erupted slowly around the now-vanished trajectory, expanding and scattering all debris and dust.

The black hole engine retracted and sealed off, while Odin opened the gaps in his armor, releasing hissing steam:
"I told you, you're finished."

Not far away, Virtin, still standing there, was completely stunned. He stood there dumbfounded, clutching the spirit sword that was now just a hilt, and didn't come to his senses for a long time.

"Perfect illumination...?"

The container on its back opened, and the white rabbit rolled out, its stomach churning.

Similarly, Jin Misha also rolled out.

She thrashed about, then suddenly opened her eyes, feeling a churning in her stomach. She collapsed to the ground and vomited violently.

"Holy crap, what kind of vehicle did we get on?!"

After saying that, he started vomiting again, so much so that his eyes started rolling back in his head.

After finally wiping away her tears and the gooey mess in her mouth, she turned her head and saw the white rabbit next to her, who had already finished vomiting and was staring at her with a disgusted look. She was instantly furious.

"What did you do now? I feel like I slept for a century! And the Shadow Lord... uh, the Shadow Lord..."

The motor hissed and a huge shadow loomed over her. She slowly looked up and froze instantly.

"...Old Ji?"
