Soul of Negary
chapter-167

If Fang Ze was the kind of protagonist who would kill his girl to prove himself, then doing this would only allow his [Protagonist Aura] to accumulate more power.

But that didn't fit Fang Ze's character style at all, from what was observed from his current personality model, Fang Ze should be a harem protagonist.

He Qiao, Liu Shi, perhaps even Lan Shan, were supposed to be part of his harem.

〖 And this is also a kind of error, an error with fate 〗Negary could feel his Dragon of Eternal Sin form gradually growing stronger as time passed.

Ever since he noticed something wrong with himself in Yue Bu and immediately kicked the Great Cataclysm plan into action, he had been able to feel the expansion of his 'error' characteristic. This showed that he had already veered off the course determined by 'destiny', and that there was now an error in 'destiny'.

Due to the Great Cataclysm occurring ahead of time, Fang Ze's and the D.E.R division's actions had been constantly a step behind, allowing Negary to reach and obtain Lan Shan, causing the error to expand further. And because he now had Lan Shan's help, he made it so that He Qiao achieved the second stage of her [Origin] release ahead of time, once again expanding the error.

'Destiny' had the power to correct things, manifesting through the Protagonist who was closely related to 'destiny' and allowed him to make the impossible possible; but this power was definitely not omnipotent.

…

"If I use my new ability, I might be able to salvage her rationality" Fang Ze watched the purple vines that covered the residential district from afar, contemplating: "But how to actually approach her is an issue"

"Instinctively, she will use the vines to obstruct everything that tries to get close to her, but destroying the vines would only quicken the pace of her collapse"

"We need to think of a way to approach her as close as possible while causing the least amount of destruction to her" Fang Ze muttered.

"From a rational point of view, I highly discourage you from trying to save her. Not only would this take too much of our efforts and time, but we would also need to handle the risk of failure" Chang Xia spoke as if to douse him in cold water: "If you want to save her near-collapsed rationality, you will also need to face the corruption from her [Origin] as well"

"Your [Origin] isn't the same as hers, if you face such corruption arbitrarily, you would be more likely to become corrupted yourself and cause your rationality to collapse as well"

Chang Xia pointed out the most serious issue and pushed his glasses up: "You need to understand your own responsibilities…"

"But if I can't even save a person right next to me, how would I ever have the ability to take up any responsibilities?"

Fang Ze spouted an argument that only made sense on the surface, then reached his hand out to Chang Xia: "Help me, Chang Xia!"

.

"Help me, Chang Xia!"

These were the same words that Yu Guang Ming said to Chang Xia all those years ago:

"If I were to lose control, then kill me"

.

Perhaps, Yu Guang Ming had already realized something back then, that's why he gave me his long blade, and why he apologized to me.

I didn't have any choice but to kill Yu Guang Ming all those years ago, but now, I have a chance to actually save someone.

Chang Xia could only smile bitterly, then rubbed his temples: "He Qiao can only act on her instincts right now, so she wouldn't use her vines to completely prevent everything from approaching her, only things that are dangerous to her"

"And since she's a Spiritual Inception practitioner, she can sense the Disasforce that we give off"

"You mean, we shouldn't use Disasforce?" Lu Tong asked from one side. Earlier, he tried using his Authority to clear the path, but after some of the vines were affected by his Authority, more vines swiftly gathered to replace them.

"Then you would become her food. When those vines came alive just now, I saw quite a few bones on the ground" Chang Xia replied: "To approach her without causing damage to the vines, you need to become something beneficial to her, thus make her approach you on her own accord"

"What does a plant need? Sunlight? Water?" hearing Chang Xia's conjectures, Fang Ze tried thinking about it from another direction.

"And also heat, heat of suitable temperature to be exact" Chang Xia gave his answer.

"Is that so? And if I expose my Disasforce, I would be considered a threat" Fang Ze sighed.

Taking a deep breath, Fang Ze's body began to give off more heat than usual, the Disasforce was acting from inside his body, allowing it to exert a considerable amount of heat without leaking any fluctuations.

Although his Authority would naturally protect his body from being hurt by his own Disasforce, in order to allow heat to radiate from his body, Fang Ze neutralized a part of the Authority's protection and allowed the 'heat' property to affect him.

His body started to flush red, constantly radiating heat as he walked into the vine-covered area. The vines quickly moved around, slowly approached Fang Ze and coiled around Fang Ze's body.

Soon enough, Fang Ze was brought in front of He Qiao by the vines.

"I'm sorry, I was late!" Fang Ze embraced He Qiao and activated his newfound power.

…

〖 How absurd 〗

As he watched this happen, Negary chuckled in amusement. Never mind how much sense that speech about plants requiring heat actually made, one needed to keep in mind that Fang Ze had just used Disasforce to openly attack the vines just too long ago.

He Qiao's current state was one where her rationality collapsed, not her memory, and yet she allowed Fang Ze to approach her so easily, this level of cheating couldn't be any more obvious.

However, Negary didn't really care, the more he went against common sense right now, the more severe his theoretical expenditures might be, and the greater chance Negary had to go off the course of 'destiny'.

〖 Seems like Fang Ze will be able to resolve He Qiao's issue 〗

Negary thought. And that would only be better for him.

Not only would this expend Fang Ze's power, but it also served to allow He Qiao who was walking on the path Negary created to truly enter the second stage of release. Furthermore, Negary could now obtain important data regarding rationality reconstruction from the germs inside He Qiao's body.

Weakening the enemy while strengthening himself, this was the true meaning behind Negary's arrangements.

〖 I will also need to make preparations. Soon, Fang Ze will arrive 〗something seemed to move inside Negary's body before going silent again.

Although the error within 'destiny' was growing bigger and bigger, it was still a longshot for him to be able to escape from 'destiny'. If the records on the Apocalypse Stone Tablet were to be believed, he would be sealed by Lan Shan, or rather, Fang Ze who borrowed Lan Shan's ability.

〖 After that, it will be the birth of the [Temporal Displacement] Disaster King 〗

This would be the final Disaster King to appear, whose birth would also signify the advent of the so-called Apocalypse.

The records on the Apocalypse Stone Tablet stopped here, there weren't any records of the final results of this fight against the Apocalypse.

Negary lightly scowled, as he found this [Temporal Displacement] Authority to be very interesting.

Among the Ten Disasters, other than the first one, [Heaven Collapse], which he didn't understand if the meaning was supposed to be literal or not; only [Temporal Displacement] was unclear as a disaster. Things like [Asteroid Impact], [Continental Sinking], [Super Plague] and such were possible disasters, all of which the Authorities were formed as the disasters occurred, so what about [Temporal Displacement]?

〖 Would a time-related disaster need to occur for this Authority Holder to actually manifest?〗

〖 Or perhaps, I interpreted the Apocalypse Stone Tablet wrongly 〗Negary recalled the various unusual occurrences in this world: 〖 Perhaps a temporal displacement had already happened, and that Disaster King had already been born, after all, it is [Temporal Displacement] 〗
