Soul of Negary
chapter-150

〖 So he's here as well? 〗standing on the roof of the lecture hall, Negary watched as Fang Ze came forward and scowled.

Negary heavily respects the existence of the Protagonist, Fang Ze.

The fact that he came here could mean that whatever was happening here was part of the script, or rather, within the control of the predetermined prophecy.

〖 Perhaps, me trying to obtain the Apocalypse Stone Tablet's copy was a mistake in the first place. Yu Guang Ming intended to lie to me, luring me into believing that my actions were to escape from destiny, but they were in fact exactly as destiny foretold 〗

Various thoughts were darting around Negary's head.

〖 Perhaps the Lord of Aberration wasn't necessary to face the Apocalypse. Through misinformation, he led me to giving up the evolution of the Dragon of Eternal Sin 〗Negary was considering the possibilities: 〖 This way, I would be caught by destiny without a way to escape and become one of its pawns 〗

〖 But if I go one layer further, could it be that Yu Guang Ming hoped that I would doubt him, continue my path to become the Lord of Aberration and finally become the key to fight against the Apocalypse? 〗

〖 Perhaps possibly, I've already been under the control of destiny without knowing it, even my decision of coming to the 7th domain was under its influence. Can the current 'me' still maintain myself? 〗

〖 Have I begun to harbor self-doubt? 〗

Negary's heart sank. If anybody else had brought this same dilemma to him, Negary would have been able to ignore it, or even prepare countermeasures to use it against them, because Negary understood people.

But right now, Negary did not understand Yu Guang Ming, and his power was vastly above Negary's.

A large part of Negary's power was based on the foundation of his comprehension. Because he had literally tasted every kind of emotion known to the species known as humans, he had an overwhelming level of understanding of this species. For this reason, he was able to grasp the weakness of any human he faced.

But when he was faced with an entity that exceeded his comprehension, that would affect his judgement. Although it wasn't to the point that he would be completely clueless on how to react, his judgement no longer had the near-precognitive characteristics that it normally did.

〖 And this is also one of my weaknesses 〗

Negary understood that to many people, he was a perfect being capable of anything. But in reality, he still had plenty of shortcomings and weaknesses that he needed to overcome.

〖 From the very moment that I obtained the copy of the Apocalypse Stone Tablet, all of my judgements have been made on the basis of the information written on it 〗

Negary closed his eyes, even now, he was nothing but a remnant soul with limitations.

〖 In truth, ever since Yu Guang Ming appeared outside of my expectations and gave the Apocalypse Stone Tablet to me, my thoughts have already been under the control of the stone tablet 〗Negary opened his eyes again: 〖 The current me should detach myself from this information and reconsider my true thoughts 〗

〖 The only thing I need to do is to make myself stronger, ignore the so-called process of the Apocalypse Stone Tablet, escape from this interference and make a proper judgement 〗

All of a sudden, Negary felt that he had been constantly assimilated by this world, following its rules and using the means it provided in order to handle everything.

Even if Negary only hid himself due to the lack of information in the beginning, as he slowly infiltrated this world, so did this world affect him in return, and such influence wasn't something that the Dragon of Eternal Sin was able to counter.

Wary of Fang Ze's [Protagonist Aura], wary of the D.E.R division's hidden trump cards, wary of the reason for the New Deity and the Progenitor Dragon's disappearance, wary of this, wary of that. Perhaps it was necessary to be wary of a few of them, but if he was wary of everything, his actions would become restrained, then become truly bound by this world and unknowingly turned into a pawn under its control.

〖 Completely disregard Yu Guang Ming's goal, and make a choice that I decided to make. I do not need to adapt to this world, this world shall adapt to me 〗Negary felt no such thing as a sudden understanding of himself, or a realization of the greater path.

A few fragments of his soul appeared in his hand, he had simply checked his own soul, compared it to its previous self and removed the influence.

〖 Enact the plan 〗through his soul connection, Negary ordered Noah.

[But Lord Negary, the government still hasn't accepted our suggestion, and we haven't been developing outwardly, it's possible that…] Noah replied with a troubled tone.

〖 It seems you have been influenced as well. No need for any concerns, do it 〗Negary ordered again. As his Righteous, Noah would naturally not resist any longer, a large number of hidden personnel began to act and spread the Spiritual Inception cultivation method all over the place.

〖 Now that [Survivors] are enacting their plan and the King of People, also known as the Protagonist, Fang Ze has already arrived, the eyes of those people would be focused on this place. This is our best chance, if we still wouldn't act out of wariness, then we would never amount to anything at all 〗

Negary left a few words to Killer J who was still infiltrating [Survivors], then vanished. The gaze of the world might be focused on the Protagonist, but there was no need for him to care about what Fang Ze was doing. Having killer J here should be more than enough.

"Got it, boss" Killer J rubbed his hands together and said.

...

The leather jacket man standing on the podium scowled and turned towards the crowd below. Just now, he felt a marked target under his [Grand Ideal] suddenly vanish, then quickly reappear.

Is it a delusion from coming close to realizing my ideal?

The leather jacket man shook his head.

[Grand Ideal] is an ability I obtained through stealing power from the Source Pool, there would definitely not be any loopholes, definitely not!

"My friends, the man called Fang Ze who was stated to be the King of People on the Apocalypse Stone Tablet has appeared within the university. For the sake of our grand ideal, for our great goal, let us strive to the best of our abilities!" the leather jacket man declared in an inciting manner.

The people sitting around the lecture hall cheered in joy, loudly chanting 'grand ideal' and orderly made their way outside.

While [Survivors] members were scattered across many professions within the 7th domain, the majority of them did construction-related jobs. They worked on various districts all around the 7th domain, constructing many 'earthquake memorial parks' or other venues and structures of similar nature. In truth, what they created were actually nodes of a large ritual, turning the entire 7th domain into a giant altar, the center of which was right at this university.

A sniper from far away aimed at the leather jacket man who stood behind the marching crowd. With a loud 'bang', the sniper's head was blown clean off and splattered like a watermelon. The leather jacket man's work during these past years wasn't just on creating the altar, the 7th domain's military force, public security forces, the D.E.R division, so on and so forth were all largely infiltrated by his men.

Not to mention armed forces from other domains as well, which made it hard for anyone to accomplish anything through force in this place.

Liu Bian's sword was currently propped against Liu Shi's neck, still maintaining a perfect smile on his face. As he looked at Fang Ze slowly approaching them, he lowered himself and whispered into Liu Shi's ear with a morbid tone: "Your little lover is here to save you, aren't you glad?"

Seeing Fang Ze gradually coming closer, Liu Shi's eyes were giving off a confused glow. When she came here on her own accord, she had thought that he would discard her, who would've thought that he would actually come to save her.
