Chapter 388: Vol5 Ch58: Who’s trapping who?

Translator: La0o9

Eulogy of the Ocean Depths, Saarschloss, was a certain unique ocean life form. Having been born in a Greater Realm, they could be said to be naturally favored.

When they were born, their call was already able to control the surrounding aquatic creatures, ordering them to hunt for or even kill themselves for them to mature.

Very naturally, they became the ruler of that ocean despite never having cultivated any Mysticism knowledge before.

During their process of maturity, they naturally achieved the third stage of release and obtained the Seed of Truth.

As the ocean had always been the greatest treasure trove, Eulogy of the Ocean Depths smoothly manifested their Pathway after a few thousand years. For life forms that were born with infinite treasures to themselves, it wasn’t particularly difficult.

Take a bachelor’s degree for example, if an average person diligently studied and was lucky enough for other matters to not disturb them halfway through, if they fully dedicated themselves to studying, it wasn’t difficult to get a bachelor’s degree. But then what if it was a pig who tried to get a bachelor’s degree?

The difference between Eulogy of the Ocean Depths and the average person was the same as an average person versus a pig. He was born as a naturally superior life form to humans. For Eulogy of the Ocean Depths, Principles that might cause humans to go insane through simple observation were things that they could comprehend after a bit of study.

Of course, Saarschloss’ own efforts couldn’t be discounted the same way that a bachelor’s degree required effort. They were not the only ent.i.ty that was born as a higher life form, but the majority of them couldn’t manifest a Pathway even if it took them their entire lives.

In fact, it was quite uncommon for average life forms like humans to become a Pathway Ent.i.ty. Even if they were able to achieve it, they would have already discarded their human ident.i.ty on the path of evolution. There were very few humans who managed to reach the realm of Pathways while still remaining humans, at least, there were almost none of them in this universe.

Even though Red Tears was originally born from a human, the improper ritual had already given her a different nature during her birth, turning her into a sentient phenomenon.

If considering the quality of their natures alone, Eulogy of the Ocean Depths was among the highest among the Righteous G.o.ds. For that reason, while Eulogy of the Ocean Depths’ Pathway was mostly related to ‘life’, it had fused with their natural-born sound-based abilities.

Eulogy of the Ocean Depths’ voice had the ability to stimulate a life form’s essence. As sound itself was created through vibrations, they took advantage of the resonance created through their voice to distort other existences and turn them into aquatic life forms under their control.

The reason why Red Tears suddenly recalled her past under Eulogy of the Ocean Depths’ voice was that her nature had just been stimulated.

At the same time, Eulogy of the Ocean Depths wasn’t having things easy either. The worshipper they had descended upon began to bleed from the corner of his eyes and reject their control. Parts of the worshipper’s body were twitching, shrinking, his fins and gills also began to flicker, the worshipper had begun to commit infidelity with his own faith.

The part of the worshipper’s soul that sympathized with humanity was awoken, then turned into a pure human supremacist under Red Tears’ influence, despite his immersion within Eulogy of the Ocean Depths’ faith earlier.

“Get out of my body, monster! I will not be deceived by you any longer!”

The middle-aged human’s soul began to burn and scream. With Red Tears’ help, he actually managed to influence Eulogy of the Ocean Depths’ descent on his body.

Immediately after that, the middle-aged man’s soul collapsed completely together with his body. A large amount of blood spilled all over, the human skin shrank and became wrinkled almost right away like a piece of paper that could be ripped with the littlest effort. Inside the skin, slippery fish scales could be seen together with a nauseating fishy stench.

After that, Eulogy of the Ocean Depths sensed a force directly affecting their soul. The soul was derived from the [Origin], so ent.i.ties at their level would have thoroughly fused their soul with their Pathways, causing the soul structure to also change.

If Negary’s soul hadn’t become one with the world virus before meeting Red Tears, Red Tears would have easily been able to make Negary’s soul collapse. This was because Negary’s soul was originally an amalgamation of countless other souls, and if an irregularity was sparked, Negary’s soul might have become undone at the seams immediately.

However, since Negary had converted his soul into the world virus, this was no longer his weakness but rather his strength.

On the other hand, he still didn’t know why Mequik suddenly couldn’t resist this kind of attack.

Right now, the one who faced Red Tears’ soul irregularity attack was Eulogy of the Ocean Depths. In the past, they plundered the Principles of ‘life’ from the Scion of Life, so in order to digest these Principles, their originally genderless form underwent reproduction. For this reason, after their Pathway had advanced, their soul structure naturally became closer to female.

This then became Eulogy of the Ocean Depths’ weakness in front of Red Tears. While Red Tears was no longer limited to affecting just female souls, she did have a profound understanding of the female soul and its structure.

The power of soul irregularity invaded and stimulated change in Eulogy of the Ocean Depths’ soul structure. Once this change reached a certain degree, their control over their Pathway would loosen, allowing Red Tears to undo the restraints on the Divine Artifact and take it away.

Red Tears and Eulogy of the Ocean Depths were simultaneously attacking one another and competing to see who would give up first. They wanted to see whether Red Tears’ nature would be altered first, or whether Eulogy of the Ocean Depths’ soul would first be disturbed by the irregularities and become unable to control their Pathway.

…

On the other hand, Negary hadn’t stopped his attacks against Red Tears. There were now easily over a hundred eyeb.a.l.l.s floating around his body, each of which was capable of shooting out a different kind of energy ray that contained a distinct Principle.

These hundred eyeb.a.l.l.s were unleashing over ten thousand distinct types of attacks from different aspects of reality, using different principles, carrying powers of different natures. The Unreachable Gate was gradually unable to block his attacks.

As soon as The Unreachable Gate’s understanding of a certain aspect of reality failed to be sufficient, all the eyes would immediately shift to that aspect, unleashing thousands of attacks at once. Every time, The Unreachable Gate had to reactively resolve the method of influencing that aspect of reality in order to stop Negary’s attacks once again.

Compared to Negary’s attacks, Eternal Heat’s attack was considerably more invasive. He didn’t seem to be quite as flashy as his Church’s knights with their various divine techniques, opting to use only sacred flames to attack. However, every time that The Unreachable Gate stopped his fire, the unreachable limit would be burnt away by the flames. If given enough time, he might actually burn this entire limit away and directly reach The Unreachable Gate.

His name as the strongest Righteous G.o.d wasn’t just for show. His method of offense and defense were both flames, and he only needed flames. Everything, whether or not they had form, would eventually be burnt away by his flames, and he would eternally emit his heat without fail.

As the battle continued, The Unreachable Gate would most likely be forced to retreat, unless he wanted to test the possibility of his limit being burnt away and Eternal Heat kicking down his gate.

Right as they were in the middle of the stalemate, Mequik, who had previously retreated, suddenly appeared next to Lisa.

「 I’ve been waiting for you 」Eternal Heat declared as he saw Mequik suddenly appear. The Unreachable Gate also suddenly retreated as a cl.u.s.ter of golden flames appeared from the s.p.a.ce that The Unreachable Gate was hiding earlier and shot towards Mequik.
