The male supporting character was actually myself.

These words immediately alarmed the six powerful figures. "No! We absolutely cannot let this matter be made public. It will cause panic and unrest, which is definitely not a good thing for most people!"

“Revealing the truth is indeed inappropriate,” Li Chengze, who was echoing his words, said in a low voice. “It’s true that an invasion would cause a lot of casualties, but with our security team, the casualties are a low-probability event compared to the rest of the world. Once it’s revealed, the resulting panic would be large-scale and the consequences would be unbearable!”

Jiang Chen shrugged and sneered, "Then what's the point of all this effort to break it down and reorganize it? In the end, it'll still be the same old story—with great power comes great responsibility. Are the best of the best going to have to silently sacrifice themselves to carry on? Don't our fallen warriors deserve to be remembered by future generations?"

The martyrs and heroes who protected the people are deeply revered, their graves are visited every year, and their names are etched in history; our comrades who died in our security team protected the whole world, and everyone should know their names and why they sacrificed their precious lives!

The atmosphere of subtle competition in the conference room was completely reversed. The big shots turned to stand on the same side as Li Chengze, reasoning with him and trying to appease him. After all, there was only one all-around talent who could easily kill the Soul Eater, so it was only right and wrong to appease him first.

"I won't say anything else to you. Please move to the monitoring tower. I want to show you something." Unyielding and unreasonable, Jiang Chen left the meeting room after uttering these words.

The bigwigs looked at each other, a hint of helplessness on their faces.

The greater the talent, the more eccentric the temperament, yet this irreplaceable quality makes it impossible for anyone to deal with him.

Li Chengze hurriedly cupped his hands in greeting to them, looking helpless, and said, "Please bear with him, everyone. That's just his temper... We'll try to persuade him more later."

"Are there any death row inmates whose trials have been completed? Have the prison send one over; I need it urgently," Jiang Chen instructed the sentry standing guard outside as soon as he stepped out the door.

The other party saluted and looked at General He, who followed closely behind. He nodded helplessly in agreement.

Soon, the death row inmates were escorted and tied up in the plaza of the headquarters building.

"Everyone, let me make this clear first." Jiang Chen casually flipped through the monitoring tower, gesturing for them to look at the blue sky reflected in the mirror. "That night, when the Soul Eaters invaded, a hole appeared in this sky."

I'm sure you're all experienced beginners, so let's get straight to the point.

For years, the Soul Eaters had been attempting to invade, but previously the world's barrier was so strong that even if they managed to break through, they were quickly pushed back and posed little threat. However, in recent years, their attacks had weakened the barrier, to the point that on that night it breached, creating a large hole, allowing the Soul Eater army to enter with ease.

"Do you know how I solved the problem of the world's broken barriers?"

Chapter Six: Give It a Big Fight

The bigwigs had all received similar analysis reports, and they couldn't deny what Jiang Chen had said. Therefore, they all looked solemn and said they didn't understand. After all, even if this kind of information was written in the report, it was sent to the general office, and it was difficult for them to obtain the corresponding intelligence themselves.

Jiang Chen revealed a smug smile, "I cut a part of my soul and used it to block up the sky."

Everyone:!!!∑(°Д°ノ)ノ

Severing the soul? And mending the sky?!

Is this a modern version of a myth?

While it's true that there are Soul Eaters invisible to ordinary people, as well as various strange and unknown entities, the idea of ​​splitting souls to mend the heavens sounds far too fantastical...

How do you cut the soul?

Can a person survive after being cut open? Is this what they call a soulless person in the truest sense?!

The atmosphere in the monitoring room became somewhat awkward for a moment. The big shots looked at each other, unsure of what expression to wear.

Li Chengze: ╮(︶﹏︶)╭

Cutting off a tiny piece of a soul—although Horcruxes are an inseparable part of the universe—is a truly touching yet somewhat terrifying idea to use a soul to mend the heavens.

"I know this is a bit hard to believe, especially since you can't see any unknown entities or soul eaters at all." Jiang Chen made no attempt to hide the sarcasm in his tone, pointing to the death row inmates in the square downstairs and laughing, "That's why I had you all come here to see the evidence through the surveillance mirror. I believe you all know the authenticity and power of the surveillance mirror, so I won't explain further."

A part of my soul is currently stuck in that sky.

I can tell you with absolute certainty right now that countless armies of Soul Eaters are outside the World Barrier, and they are unwilling to give up and still want to continue their attack. And all I can do is…”

He looked up at the cloudless sky, controlled the Soul Artifact that was mending the sky with silver light to create a small hole, and then the Soul Artifact grabbed a Soul Eater that was waiting in place and dragged it directly into the hole.

Before the other Soul Eaters could discover it, the cave entrance closed again, leaving no opening that could be breached.

"Hiss..." The Horcrux dragged the Soul Eater down at high speed. The Soul Eater, unaware of what was happening, let out a shrill hiss and struggled to break free of its control.

Li Chengze noticed it immediately, pointing into the air and gasping, "The Soul Eater! It's appeared again!"

The six powerful figures staring at the mirror then paled; they all saw a chilling scene reflected in the mirror. This was far more stimulating than the live footage on the big screen; the black cloaks emanating wisps of black mist sent a chill down their spines at first glance.

"Don't be nervous." Jiang Chen smiled and patted Li Chengze's shoulder to comfort him. "I just wanted to show you that the part of my soul that I used to mend the sky can be controlled at will to let the Soul Eater in. It's completely under my control now and there's no danger."

Li Chengze gave him an inquiring look.

He smiled and joked, "Through this live broadcast, I hope everyone can understand one thing—whether the world can stop the invasion of the Soul Eater army is entirely up to me."

If I make any mistake, the soul that mends the heavens will naturally be unable to withstand the loss of control.

Please be prepared that if I were to perish one day, I hope the security team would have the ability to kill countless Soul Eaters. Otherwise, I'm sorry, but the truth is—my life and death are intertwined with the fate of the entire world. If I live, everything is safe and sound; if I die, everything in the world will perish with me.

Everyone's expression changed upon hearing this.

The bigwigs exchanged glances, then focused intently on the mirror image.

The Soul Eater, which was suddenly pulled in, was a little confused and panicked. It was just following orders to stay where it was and wait for headquarters to find a weaker point to attack the world barrier, but for some reason it was suddenly controlled by a powerful force!

"Hiss... hiss..." It tried to break free of control but failed, and let out a series of hissing sounds.

This scene, reflected in the mirror, only amplified the sense of oppression and crisis felt by the bigwigs!

Without the monitoring tower and the security team members who could see these terrifying creatures, the Soul Eaters could easily slaughter or even destroy the world with their ability to kill silently and without leaving a trace!

Facing the Soul Eater for the first time, the powerful figures were deeply saddened and worried about the future of the human world.

Jiang Chen is only in his early twenties now, in the prime of his life. What if he loses his energy in a few decades?

Even if he can keep trying to resist the invasion of the Soul Eaters, he is just a mortal. With the current scientific methods, he can only live to be a hundred years old at most. What will happen after he dies of old age?

In the remaining decades, will another savior emerge?

Or perhaps technology has advanced to the point where we are not afraid of the Soul Eater's invasion and can withstand it?

The heavy reality weighed on everyone's mind, and as they stared at the Soul Eater in the mirror, they couldn't help but furrow their brows.

The death row inmate in the square was chained to a rack with his hands and feet. He shook his head in confusion, looking around, trying to figure out what was going on and why he had suddenly been taken from prison and brought here.

He was a scoundrel in his forties who used to live a life of luxury and occasionally find a girl by stealing and robbing. But since the police crackdown, it has become very difficult for him to make money. After being imprisoned several times, no one wanted to hang out with him anymore.

So one day, after drinking too much at a small shop, he saw two pretty girls eating together and secretly followed them. Using his physical advantage, he knocked them unconscious, dragged them into a grove, raped them, and then killed them. When he was done, fearing he would be discovered, he simply stole an axe and chopped the two girls, who were now covered in wounds, into pieces and threw them into a ditch.

After the case was solved, the police quickly arrested him and sentenced him to death, pending execution.

"Hey, what are you doing bringing me here? Kill me or torture me, do whatever you want. I've had enough of living, I'm satisfied with killing two of my own as a sacrifice!" The murderer was terrified, so he shouted arrogantly to bolster his courage.

"I've long since stopped caring about life and death. Anyway, there's no good life to be had, so I might as well do whatever I want and die early so I can be reincarnated sooner!"

He had learned beforehand that even if he was sentenced to death, it would be nothing more than an intravenous injection, as easy and painless as sleeping. Therefore, the murderer was quite suspicious when he was suddenly taken out and tied up in an unfamiliar place.

The square was eerily quiet.

He wasn't a particularly strong-willed person to begin with, and his unusual behavior at this moment made the murderer start to have wild thoughts.

Thinking of the angry crowds during the trial, who seemed to want to tear him apart, his legs began to tremble. Was he really going to be tortured to death?

Otherwise, why would they be tied up here?

The murderer grew increasingly terrified, his psychological defenses crumbling rapidly. Just as he was about to burst into tears and beg for mercy, he suddenly felt the temperature around him drop slightly...

"Hiss... hiss..."

The Soul Eater, being controlled and dragged to the square, slowly approached the human bound by iron chains, its hissing sound carrying a hint of greed—the taste of a sweet and delicious soul!

An irresistible temptation draws it closer, yet one forcefully suppresses the allure, cautiously glancing around.

The force controlling its movements hadn't disappeared, but it was invisible to it!

The Soul Eater racked its brains, but couldn't figure out what was going on. Could there be a spy in the human world? Otherwise, why would they willingly offer up their prey and devour it without any resistance?

Faced with such delicious food, it couldn't think of anything to eat. After hesitating for a few seconds, it suddenly pounced forward and grabbed the crying and screaming guy by the neck!

The bigwigs watching this scene in the mirror couldn't help but gasp.

The murderer was forcibly dragged up. He could feel something choking him, making it hard for him to breathe, but he couldn't see anything at all!

"A ghost! Ugh! Help! There's a ghost..."

He was unable to send out another cry for help, as the Soul Eater had already lowered its huge black cloak slightly, allowing a cloud of black mist to spread out and cover the other's face, mouth, and nose.

Streams of light gray soul energy were drawn out of his face. The murderer convulsed and struggled in vain, and finally all his life force was drained away, leaving him a dried-up corpse that was thrown to the ground.

In just over ten seconds, after experiencing the most indescribable pain of his life, he contributed his last bit of weak and meager strength, perfectly demonstrating to the big shots in front of the mirror that Jiang Chen's ability to be invincible in the world was unparalleled.

"I don't think any of you have ever observed the Soul Eater up close before, have you?" Jiang Chen said with a slight smile, flicking his finger as he forcibly dragged the Soul Eater, which was wrapped in a Soul Artifact, into the monitoring room.

The mirror image showed the terrifying intruder very close, constantly waving a black cloak of some unknown material, with wisps of black mist swirling around it; it was clearly extremely agitated at this moment.

"hiss……"

Looking at the young human sitting on the sofa in front of it, it felt a fear that trembled from the depths of its soul, so it spread its large cloak and roared at Jiang Chen in an attempt to intimidate him.

"Snapped!"

Jiang Chen retaliated by throwing a large punch at the Soul Eater, leaving it stunned.

Everyone else in the room, including Li Chengze, was stunned and didn't dare to breathe.

"If you're curious, you can try reaching over and touching it. Although you can't see it, you can feel it," Jiang Chen warmly invited, but several bigwigs, including General He, politely declined.

Seeing that none of them dared to try, he sighed and waved his hand, saying with little interest, "You guys go ahead and do your work. I want to try to communicate with this Soul Eater. I feel that it should also be a high-level animal with thoughts."

If we could figure out their origins, we might be able to carry out effective defense work.

"By the way, Deacon Li, could you please arrange for the security team to conduct research on Soul Eaters? It will require a significant amount of funding, so it would be best to plan ahead."

Li Chengze stood up and said with a smile, "No problem, then we won't disturb your research work any longer. If you need anything for the experiment, please feel free to ask. And please be careful!"

Emerging from the monitoring room, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but the thought of Jiang Chen's importance also made their hearts leap with anxiety. They hoped his research would make a breakthrough soon, otherwise...

"Deacon Li, we can discuss the agreement further." The issues that needed to be resolved quickly were being addressed. The seasoned negotiator, looking helpless, said, "We need to report the funding issue to the general office. Let's go over the remaining terms in detail again."

Li Chengze nodded with an impeccably polite smile and said, "Okay, everyone, please move to the conference room so we can go over the original agreement again."

With the white-cop and red-cop roles playing in unison, the agreement between the dismantled and reorganized security team and relevant departments was quickly finalized.

Jiang Chen ignored the other matters of the security team. He first imprisoned the captured Soul Eater in a specially made cage using a Soul Artifact, then lay on the sofa, closed his eyes, and focused on switching perspectives to "see" the situation outside the world barrier.

If repairing the world's barrier hadn't reached the limit his fragmented soul could withstand, he would have loved to send a Horcrux to accompany the Soul Eater army to see what it was really like inside.

"Hiss..."

"hiss……"

The images fed back by the Soul Vessel showed that most of the Soul Eaters had moved far away from the area, while several taller and obviously stronger high-level Soul Eaters floated a little further away from the Soul Vessel, observing carefully and occasionally communicating with hissing sounds of different frequencies and tones, as if they were discussing something.

"Not being able to understand their language is a real problem." Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh, carefully trying to guess and analyze from the other party's body language and tone of voice.
