Build an ancient-level power in the nightmare world

Benjamin carefully examined the yellow mark deep within his soul, but found no effect from it, nor did he experience any discomfort.

Regarding this being of the Holy Spirit level, Benjamin could only come up with one guess as to why the other party had left a mark on him.

You are still useful to the other party for the time being.

As for its use, Benjamin couldn't guess.

Or rather, he dared not think about it too deeply.

He is still a captain in the Torchbearer Squad, and he walks the holy path of the Echo Wall, one of the four Holy Spirits worshipped by the Imperial Holy Spirit Church.

He has now been marked by a terrifying being who may have ill intentions toward the Echo Wall, and if this were to be discovered by others, the consequences would be unimaginable.

He instinctively felt that the imprint was even more firmly embedded in the depths of his soul than the three holy seals he had carved into his body as a spirit messenger.

Removing the Holy Seal is almost always a matter of life and death; removing the mark that is even more firmly rooted in the depths of the soul has an even more unimaginable fate.

Based on Benjamin's understanding of the Im Empire's Extraordinary Organization's attitude towards heretics.

Even if he voluntarily reports his situation, his best outcome will probably be to be forcibly stripped of all his extraordinary powers and related memories in order to erase all traces left by the evil god within Benjamin.

But he will likely become mentally impaired and spend the rest of his life under surveillance and house arrest.

This treatment was only given because the Hall family had contributed talent to various official extraordinary organizations over the years, and he was the only remaining member of the Hall family.

Normally, it would be very difficult for a person to survive after this procedure.

To save your life, the organization will prepare special relics and precious potions specifically for you.

Ordinary people don't have this kind of treatment.

Benjamin originally entered the Astral Plane to find a place to meditate and calm his unstable sea of ​​memories, but he found that his sea of ​​memories was now surprisingly stable.

There was absolutely no sense of unease I felt when I woke up before.

Benjamin even considered attributing this to the dark yellow mark inside his body.

In that mysterious space, although Benjamin dared not look directly at the other party, he vaguely felt from the aura emanating from the other party that the other party might not be an evil being.

Although the aura emanating from that person made him dare not overstep his bounds even in thought, Benjamin did not sense any malice from the colorful light emanating from the top of the tower.

"Heh~"

Benjamin suddenly chuckled softly.

He found himself starting to convince himself.

In order to rationalize his behavior of concealing all his experiences, he began to find various reasons to prove that the mysterious being who had inexplicably pulled him into the unknown space was not an evil holy spirit.

Shaking his head, Benjamin cleared his mind of those jumbled thoughts.

This matter definitely cannot be reported, at least not at the moment.

Anyway, he hasn't felt any bad changes in his body yet.

Furthermore, Benjamin noticed the thin black line in the middle of the dark yellow mark.

Over the years, when he used his spiritual sense to perceive the state of his soul, he had never had any impression of the thin black line deep within his soul.

Are these thin black lines, like the dark yellow marks, also the work of that mysterious being, or...?

Suddenly, Benjamin's pupils contracted sharply.

Feeling the nauseating sensation emanating from the thin black line, Benjamin couldn't help but start making connections.

Could these thin black lines be the traces of the curse that the Hall family has been trying to find all these years without success?

The mysterious being used this method to expose the thin black line.

Is this a gift of being honest with him and offering information about the Echo Wall?

Why would someone of that level bestow such a favor upon him the meager information about the Echo Wall that he offered?

Thinking about this, Benjamin had a vague idea.

The other party is very likely an ancient being who has just awakened.

Before the other party fell into slumber, the Holy Spirit, the Wall of Echoes, may not have existed yet.

Thinking of this, Benjamin's fingers trembled slightly, and the look in his eyes shifted rapidly.

Perhaps, by following this mysterious being, the cause of his father's death, which has troubled him for decades, and the cause and effect of the family curse, may truly be resolved by him.

The other party is a great being who has just awakened.

And he was fortunate enough to become one of the first followers after the other party awakened.

Although it was forced upon them.

But that doesn't matter.

Benjamin was never like those rigid clergymen in the church, who always maintained the most devout faith in the Holy Spirit.

In fact, in order to find out the truth about that incident, he has been cooperating with a secret society.

This is absolutely unacceptable within the Torchbearer organization.

But to achieve his goal, he is willing to sacrifice everything, including his future.

Thinking about all this, Benjamin's eyes became even more determined.

Cole suddenly opened his eyes.

His face was pale, his eyes were unfocused, and he looked listless.

But it only took a moment for Cole to come to his senses.

His unfocused gaze quickly sharpened, revealing a deep excitement and agitation.

"I did it."

"I have truly entered the Protoss world."

Cole restrained his excitement and spoke in a low voice.

That strange world full of starlight, everything around him was very blurry in his perception, but he was sure that he was not hallucinating, but had really entered some strange world.

However, he didn't stay in that star-filled world for long before an invisible force transported him to another equally mysterious space.

There was no information about this mysterious space in the occult materials that Cole had read.

But he could vaguely sense that there seemed to be a huge lake in that space, and he seemed to be floating on the surface of the water.

In his hazy perception, he sensed that there seemed to be a huge, towering building ahead.

The building radiated colorful light, and an immense pressure that almost stopped him in his tracks descended from above.

At first he was extremely excited, but it quickly turned into fear.

The feeling of being unable to control his own thoughts made Cole realize that he had entered the territory of a terrifying being.

This story of encountering an unknown entity and suffering serious consequences has many versions circulating within his occult circles.

He thought he had encountered a low-probability event.

However, that terrifying, mysterious being didn't seem to do anything to him.

His mind responded very slowly in that mysterious space. Before he could think too much and come to his senses, he had already left that mysterious space.
