Chapter 436: Demon Realm Anomaly
Two keywords, four skills complete.
But the second skill, Soul Split, left Du Ge puzzled.
The new skill seemed to duplicate the effect of the first one!
The first skill, Unbroken Link, also allowed him to remotely control the split mental power, which didn't seem much different from splitting off a soul that retained consciousness...
Why did a similar skill appear again?
No, wait.
Du Ge pondered for a moment and quickly figured out the difference.
The split mental power would disappear once the main body perished.
But a soul that retained thoughts and consciousness was like having a backup soul. Even if the main body died, it wouldn't affect the split soul and consciousness.
This skill was akin to creating countless avatars, similar to the Heavenly Demon Disintegration.
With his mental power growing stronger, Du Ge rarely experienced emotional fluctuations. But now, his heart couldn't help but race.
Splitting his soul might be a way to indirectly escape the control of Pan-Universal Entertainment!
Hua Guyun's idea had been realized so quickly...
The sudden joy made Du Ge's throat dry.
Soul Split and Unbroken Link complemented each other perfectly. Unbroken Link could provide the split soul with powerful mental power, ensuring better survival on the Alien Star Battlefield.
Moreover, his soul was infused with divine power. As long as it survived, it would become a true deity...
Du Ge pressed his lips together. The only uncertainty was how Pan-Universal Entertainment would handle the end of the Alien Star Battlefield.
If the Alien Star Battlefield remained under Pan-Universal Entertainment's control, splitting off more souls would just be jumping from one cage into another...
Du Ge took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.@@@@
No matter what, he had taken a significant step forward in resisting Pan-Universal Entertainment.
Indeed, entering the Alien Star Battlefield was the right decision.
Here, he could obtain things that were unattainable on Qi Yuan Star.
Soul Split—if he split his original soul within his own body, would he gain another keyword?
If he could exploit this bug, he could split dozens of souls, randomly acquire dozens of keywords, and reap benefits no matter what he did. Skills would come easily, and then, who could be his match?
Quickly, Du Ge extinguished this dangerous thought.
He didn't know the cause of his transmigration, which allowed him to bypass Pan-Universal Entertainment's detection. But the skill of splitting souls came from Pan-Universal Entertainment. If detected, he would truly be doomed.
Without absolute certainty, he couldn't take this risk. One step at a time...
...
Taking advantage of the distraction caused by the two martial souls, Du Ge used his new skill to silently split off a new soul, injecting it into the head of the Sun God he was holding.
At this moment, he was soaking in the Holy Pool. The seawater under the Sea God martial soul's feet combined with the Holy Pool's water, making it impossible for anyone to notice a part being split off.
The Sun God's head was indestructible, containing an unknown amount of divine power. The Sun God's will could hide within it, so Du Ge believed his soul could fit in as well.
After all, his soul was infused with the Sun God's power, theoretically compatible with the Sun God's body.
Hiding his soul in the Sun God's head meant that when they left the Alien Star Battlefield, he could replicate the Sun God's method and possess someone studying the head, returning under the name of Boderuna.
As expected.
Du Ge's soul smoothly entered the Sun God's head.
When the soul was injected, Du Ge could clearly feel that he could control the Sun God's senses. Moreover, under the sunlight, the divine power within the Sun God's head was slowly increasing.
The moment the two deities appeared, Du Ge flashed in front of Raphael, swinging the Sun God's head at his own head.
The Sun God had the ability to teleport in sunlight; Du Ge no longer needed water to complete the teleportation.
Bang!
A dull thud.
Raphael was sent flying several meters back. He raised his hand, slashing out a beam of holy light, but seeing Du Ge raise the Sun God's head, his holy sword wavered, and the holy light grazed Du Ge's shoulder, flying past. He glared at Du Ge, "Despicable!"
"Raphael, I admire your integrity and pity your talent, which is why I didn't use the God-Slaying Sword to kill you. Otherwise, you would already be dead."
"I don't need your admiration, god-slayer." Raphael looked at Fira and Reliel closing in from behind, knowing he was likely doomed. He defiantly raised his sword, "Even if you kill me, I will never yield to you god-slayers..."
"Raphael, why won't you listen to me?" Du Ge shook his head, "I know you are the Sun God's most loyal follower, but what if the Sun God was corrupted by an evil god? Would you still be loyal to him?"
"..." Raphael was stunned.
"The Sun God is immortal. Under what circumstances do you think we could kill him?" Du Ge asked.
Raphael frowned deeply.
"You're right, the Sun God was corrupted by an evil god in his sleep." Du Ge said, "His divine power was unknowingly eroded by the evil god, which is why we could easily kill him. Fira discovered the anomaly, and the awakened Sun God immediately harmed Fira. His injuries haven't healed yet..."
Fira glanced at the Sun God martial soul behind Du Ge, similar to the Sea God, frowned, and said nothing.
"I don't believe you." Raphael said, "This is Boderuna, who are you, and why are you here?"
"I am Holly Arlaus, the new God King. I received divine revelation in my sleep, granted supreme divine power to save this world." Du Ge said, "Raphael, tell me, what happened in the demon realm?"
"Nonsense." Raphael said, "You just said the Sun God was corrupted by an evil god, how could he give you a revelation?"
"You know nothing of divine power." Du Ge laughed, "Do you see the two martial souls behind me? I received revelations from both the Sun God and the Sea God. Otherwise, how could I appear here and save Boderuna from crisis..."
"I've seen the Sea God; he doesn't look like that." Raphael said, "And the Sun God behind you clearly looks like you."
"My divine power, naturally my appearance..." Du Ge looked at Raphael, suddenly changing the topic, "Raphael, there's no time to explain. Tell me what happened in the demon realm? My divine revelation foretold a war between gods and demons. I must know what happened in the demon realm."
"Divine revelation foretold a war between gods and demons?" Raphael frowned.
"Yes, a war between gods and demons." Du Ge nodded seriously, "The five ancient gods were corrupted by evil gods. They used their last divine power to choose me to face this disaster. I cannot let them down, so tell me, what happened in the demon realm? This concerns whether the Sun God can be resurrected..."
"The Sun God can be resurrected?" Raphael asked.
His mind was a mess, and the fragmented information Du Ge provided formed a drama in his head. This drama had many contradictions and ambiguities, but he roughly realized that things might not be as he imagined.
Otherwise, the other party only needed to kill him; there was no need to say so much.
"Yes, the Sun God can be resurrected. All the ancient gods must be killed once to completely expel the evil gods from their bodies." Du Ge said, "Although I don't know how the ancient gods will be resurrected, they did say they would eventually return."
"Why do you call yourself the God King?" Raphael asked.
"With the fall of the gods, how can I command without the title of God King?" Du Ge scolded, "Raphael, what are you waiting for? You are just a small archangel, what makes you think I would deceive you?"
He pointed to Fira and the others, "Fira, Reliel, Remiel, Miller, Avery, are they all fools? Watching me kill the Sun God and then staying with me, the murderer, in Boderuna, waiting for your questioning?"
Raphael suspiciously looked around, took a deep breath, and said, "I have one last question."
"Speak." Du Ge's tone turned cold, already a bit impatient.
"Even if the Sun God was corrupted by an evil god, killing him would suffice. Why dismember and desecrate his body? You even used the Sun God's head to hit me. I haven't seen any respect from you towards the Sun God." Raphael said, "Without a reasonable explanation, I won't believe a word you say..."
Using the Sun God's head to hit you was purely convenient, but can I tell you that?
"First, the Sun God is already dead. We killed the evil god, and dismemberment is the only way to prevent the evil god's resurrection." Du Ge looked at Raphael, "Second, the Sun God allowed us to use his body as a weapon to wield his solar power because we still need to kill other ancient gods corrupted by evil gods. We can't handle it on our own. Does this explanation satisfy you?"
"I'm not satisfied." Raphael said, "If you truly received divine revelation, give me a day to investigate the truth in Boderuna."
"Fine, I allow you to investigate the truth in Boderuna." Du Ge looked at Raphael with disdain, shaking his head, "But you must first tell me what happened in the demon realm? My time is precious. The sooner I get the information, the sooner I can deal with the upcoming disaster. Raphael, you can be upright, you can be loyal, but I don't want you to be stubborn..."
Raphael was silent for a moment, then said, "The Seven Demon Kings are gathering their armies as if preparing to invade the human world. In the skies above the Seven Demon Kings' territories, clouds formed by black magic spell out a name, Du Ge, which has persisted for two days. I don't know what it means."
