Soul of Negary
chapter-412-30041322

However, this light was still only the prelude.

Indeed, Eternal Heat turning into light was only the prelude of this attack, or rather, this ritual.

Under this light, Mequik slowly dissolved, her Kabbalah gradually submerging within this eternal light.

The golden beads on Negary's body rapidly vibrated, while he was already prepared for this attack to come, and he had made sure to estimate the power of the joint attack of Eternal Heat and Life Bearer as highly as possible, but it had still surpassed Negary's expectations.

From what he could see right now, the Moon Tree world would be completely destroyed by this attack, no wonder Eternal Heat didn't care about the will of the Moon Tree running away, as their goal was no longer to maintain the Moon Tree farm.

In the past, Negary and the rest would have easily been able to escape this world-targeted attack, as they all had the ability to survive for an extended period in space, as well as the means of travelling to another world. It didn't matter to their survival if the Moon Tree world was destroyed.

But since Eternal Heat wanted to devour all of the Seven Gods to evolve, he would naturally not leave such a big opening. At the very moment his existence struck through the Moon Tree world as a mass of light, he had also isolated the Space-Time matter that existed around them.

All forms of catalysts were being turned to light, the Kabbalah that Mequik had constructed also became a type of ritual barrier that trapped them inside.

Due to his own characteristics, The Unreachable Gate would have been able to escape by remaining outside the limit of the world, but Barren Shadow had collected a portion of The Unreachable Gate through his curse spear and anchored down his existence through his Pathway, making it so that he couldn't leave the range of the light. His door being literally kicked down was now only a matter of time.

In the end, this was still due to The Unreachable Gate's greed. He originally didn't gain much benefits from attacking the Moon Tree world, and the only reason he left the curse spear to restrain the will of the Moon Tree was to become a shareholder of the Moon Tree world.

At the same time, if it wasn't because of this, The Unreachable Gate's growth was simply too slow. Considering age alone, Eternal Heat would still be a child compared to The Unreachable Gate, perhaps he was already a Pathway Entity before Eternal Heat was even born, but due to the characteristics of his own Pathway, he had no choice but to be a NEET and stall.

He was just slightly greedy this time that he formed a covenant with the other Righteous Gods and left a curse that contained a bit of his Pathway's information, never did he think that it would cause everything to come tumbling down.

Of course, these entities wouldn't sit still waiting for their deaths and instead think of every means possible to retain their lives. Even if they couldn't do that, they had to still think of measures to ensure their chance at resurrection.

In the past, when the Dim Silence Envoy was surrounded by them with over half of his Pathway stripped away, he made the most correct decision to alter his state and entered the deepest part of the Aspect of Silence, surviving the most dangerous moment of his life.

Without his authority, it was very difficult for the Seven Gods to enter the Aspect of Silence or simply kill him off, so they had no choice but to leave him lying dead and waiting to be assimilated by the Aspect of Silence.

In the end, the Dim Silence Envoy still managed to wait for his chance to resurrect, even though he ended up being devoured by Darr, he still managed to spread the most crucial piece of information out and resurrect in the SCR world.

The only thing that could be said was that none of these Pathway Entities were simple to deal with.

All of them should have prepared countless measures of resurrection outside of this location. Comparatively, Negary's resurrection was much simpler than these Gods, due to his lack of an [Origin], but according to Negary's observation, this light seemed to have been engraved by Mequik's Kabbalah, which locked onto their Pathways.

Even if Negary successfully resurrected in another place, his Pathway of Manipulation that was near completion would still become the other party's food within the heat and light, not to mention that he wouldn't necessarily be able to resurrect.

Eternal Heat's attack had an extremely potent level of correlation, as the viruses he had buried in other worlds were also being pinpointed.

〖 White Light… so that was it 〗

Negary had assumed that he left the Flame world far enough, but the distance between a few Sand Realms truly couldn't be considered a distance at all to entities that had surpassed the concept of 'worlds' like Black Abyss and White Light.

〖 Then, Eternal Heat and Mequik were also White Light's products? 〗

Negary tried to ponder this, but quickly recognized it as meaningless. The fact that two [Origins] were able to fuse together and become one had far surpassed the scope of Negary's knowledge, and thinking about it now wouldn't do him any good. The priority right now was to survive the attack.

The reason why Negary believed that Eternal Heat was a product of White Light was because while his manifestation into light was different from the First Flame in the Flame world, the essence of its fluctuation felt very familiar to Negary.

〖 Even if he wasn't a product of White Light, Eternal Heat's [Origin] must have originated from White Light 〗

Negary carefully discerned the light, recognized some similarities within it with parts of the Flame world, and confirmed a few things.

〖 This way, my chances at survival would be much greater 〗

Negary's thinking speed had reached an unprecedented degree, attempting to parse all possibilities of getting out of this situation. Fortunately, Negary had made preparations before everyone else, otherwise, he would only fare even worse.

〖 There are also Darr and Killer J 〗

Negary's gaze scanned through the battlefield. Darr was heavily injured and on the verge of death, but he still had his use, if nothing else, it would still be possible to hide into his [Origin]. While that would mean giving up on the majority of his power, an [Origin] was still a natural barrier capable of stopping the majority of attacks, at least, it would help retain a large part of Negary's Pathway.

However, it was impossible to escape by taking advantage of the [Origin]. Eternal Heat's light had also sealed off the passage of the [Origin], but him being able to act as a shield against a fatal attack meant that Negary's efforts weren't a waste, and it was a good idea to summon him here.

Killer J was also still alive and was hiding in quite the perfect place, otherwise, even if Negary still had his soul structure data, it would be extremely difficult to revive him. His location was currently quite unique, which might make for an unexpected strike.

If possible, Negary would have let his viral body evolve more forms against this situation and ensured he kept as much of himself as possible, but quite regretfully:

〖 There's no more time 〗

After absorbing Life Bearer, the light that had struck through the world continued to expand and turned everything it enveloped into light.

The New Deity and Progenitor Dragon's destruction of the Disaster world was only the violent extraction of the world's Source Energy, but the world's essence as a world remained. Perhaps after ten thousand or a million years, there would still be a chance for it to fix itself and regain its vitality.

On the other hand, the Moon Tree world's destruction was very thorough, it had been completely erased and turned into light after collapsing.

Zi zi zi zi…

Barren Shadow's curved figure began to collapse. Some black particles rapidly repaired his body, but fell apart like grains of sand in the desert, and they eventually turned completely into light, as for whether or not the means of resurrection he prepared in other worlds succeeded or not, that wasn't part of Negary's concerns.

「 AAARRRRRRR, COME AT ME, DEATH!! 」Concealed Demise's body rapidly expanded into an unexpected death and struck the white light, but only resulted in his black body collapsing bit by bit.

「 YOU CAN'T KILL ME! I AM DEATH ITSELF! 」before Concealed Demise was about to meet his end, his body suddenly grew bigger and surpassed its previous limit. His infinitely close brush with death had increased his understanding of his own Pathway, which allowed him to absorb more power from death.

『「 Useless, all of your struggles are useless… 』」 within the boundless light, Eternal Heat and Mequik seemed to have become one, which could now be called Eternal Light. His light once again expanded and thoroughly assimilated Concealed Demise within it.

Negary's body was rapidly turning into light as well. Before his complete death, he took his Pathway and entered Darr's [Origin]; a bit further away from him, Eulogy of the Ocean Depths' large fishy body had also turned into light. Right at this moment, Negary sensed something silently entering his soul.

〖 Red Tears, how unexpected for you to do this, but it makes sense, you said that your Pathway was related to irregularities in the soul, so perhaps the irregularities in my soul earlier didn't escape your perception 〗Negary's body rapidly vanished, the last thing he sensed was The Unreachable Gate.

Ultimately, he was still pulled in from outside the limit. Right before the end, he seemed to have activated his defensive measures to turn into a metal gate the size of a hand, after which a hand reached out from inside the curse seal of the Seven Gods to grab the gate.

A voice also seemed to mutter 'No one can offend this Killer J…'

At the very next moment, from the endless light, Eternal Light seemed to have seen something unexpected and laughed: 「 How truly impressive, Negary!! I will remember you, definitely do not die from this!! 」

〖 I will not become a memory 〗Negary's consciousness then fully entered Darr's [Origin].

From the vast faraway space, the SCR world spiraled forward like a comet into the trajectory of the collapsing Moon Tree world, resulting in an immense collision.
