Chapter 152: Darkness Ring (1)
Chapter 152: Darkness Ring (1)
Arcana didn't waste time, waved her hand and spread nine flags surrounding them, these nine flags form a very strong defensive array in anticipation of any sudden attack because they could do nothing while Arcana tries to help Shi Tu.
Arcana grabbed Shi Tu's hand, closed her eyes, and poured all her focus and soul power toward Shi Tu.
................................
Arcana opened her eyes to find herself in a completely white world, the beginning or end of this world cannot be seen from all directions, only a ground with white soil.
In front of her was a large silver ball about twice her size, although it was completely silver but from time to time it gave a hint of seven different colors.
This was Shi Tu's soul source, the most important thing in Shi Tu's body besides Dantian, but unlike Dantian whose destruction it would only lead to the loss of cultivation base, destroying the soul source would mean completely losing intelligence, if Shi Tu's soul source was destroyed then he will become an unintelligent animal, this is much worse than losing his cultivation or even dying.
Currently, Shi Tu's soul source is a fusion of seven soul sources, more precisely, Shi Tu's soul source has been divided into seven parts and each part developed into an independent soul source by itself, this means that Shi Tu currently doesn't have one soul source, but seven soul sources, seven different personalities fighting for supremacy, every soul source wants to devour the other six soul sources in order to be the dominant.
Currently, Shi Tu is able to reach equilibrium somehow, but if Shi Tu doesn't handle it by either merging the seven sources or choosing one, then one day he will collapse and go crazy.
In order to help Shi Tu, Arcana must use her soul power to merge the seven soul sources by force or destroy six and keep one soul source.
This process is very dangerous and requires a lot of time, effort and accuracy.
If she use more power than necessary, she will destroy all the soul sources, and if she acquire a little strength it will stimulate the Soul Sources conflict and the soul of Shi Tu may collapse.
Arcana approached and touched Shi Tu's soul source with her hand very tightly.
It was extremely soft like silk and gave a feeling of fragility like a bubble that might burst with any gentle touch.
Arcana tried to surround Shi Tu's soul source with her soul power, but the moment she did this, Shi Tu's soul source turned from a silver color to a dark black color.
"This ... what happened?"
Arcana quickly withdrew her hand and soul power and looked around in bewilderment.
This white world was covered with dark black clouds as far as the eye could see, very quickly the white world turned into a black world as if the day became night in an instant.
"Why? Why did you do this?"
"What did we do to deserve this?"
"Why? Who are you to yo decide this?"
Arcana began to hear the voices of many desperate and angry people, these voices full of extreme hatred and extreme pain, as if they were speaking from the depths level of Hell.
"How dare he to forgive?"
"Unforgivable!!"
"Unforgivable!!"
" hate, hate the whole world, the whole world should be hated!!"
"There are no second chances"
"We will not let you get in the way."
From many places in the void, black chains came and bound Arcana.
These chains were extremely ferocious and gave a sinister feeling as if they were dyed with the blood of countless people.
The black chains turned around Arcana very quickly and didn't give her any chance to fight before other chains pierced her in her arms and legs.
Arcana felt intense pain beyond description, despite Arcana's strong resistance, she couldn't resist these chains.
The harder she resist, the more intense the pain will be.
" what are these chains? How can they be so powerful? Even the legendary black Judgment chains are nothing compared to this."
Black Judgment Chains are distinct chains that can only be used by the Three Great Treasures.
It is said that these chains can restrict everything in the world, they can even restrict the soul and separate it from the body.
Although Arcana didn't experience the black judgment chains by herself, her ancestors did and there are some records about it, these records didn't mention anything about this pain or the sinister aura around it, this is much more than what is mentioned in the records.
Arcana tried to calm herself and resist the pain, and cried out loudly, "Who?! who are you? Are you a friend of Konrad? Why are you doing this?"
The only explanation Arcana was able to reach was that one of Shi Tu's friends connected with the Soul Unification Seal didn't want to let her help Shi Tu.
But in this case, isn't this a betrayal of Shi Tu? or there is a way to avoid this?
From the bottom of her heart, Arcana wished that what she was trying to do was harmful to Shi Tu and not that someone whom he trust is betraying him.
"Unforgivable!!"
"You shouldn't live"
"He must be lonely"
"It should be fair"
"Nothing should affect his judgment."
"You are not necessary"
" impediment "
"Vanish!!"
The only response Arcana received was incomprehensible words filled with hatred and hostility towards her.
" Say something understandable!! why am I an impediment? Why should I die?"
For the first time in a long time, Arcana felt that she didn't understand what was happening and was unable to know what kind of situation she was in.
Arcana felt weak and that she is not as great as she think, this is the second time her fate is in someone's hands in a single day.
"Die!!"
"Disappear"
"Suffer!!"
With every passing moment, Arcana could feel her soul being absorbed by the black chains and that was so bad
In this case, her soul would be completely absorbed to death.
"Hey guys, what do you think about letting her go?"
Suddenly, a voice opposed to killing Arcana rang out.
The voice was a very calm, deep yet intense voice, giving the feeling of wanting to submit to it.
" No way!! "
" Not possible "
"She must die!!"
"It should become fertilizer."
"Not that I don't understand your thinking, I didn't object to forcing him to kill his ex-wives in the beginning but that is too much"
"You don't have any right to speak!!"
"Your opinion is rejected"
"She must die"
"He must be lonely"
"Must suffer"
"I understand that it is necessary for him to experience hatred and betrayal, but we should not push things to the point where he becomes completely heartless or filled with hatred. His judgment will not be fair then."
The voice remained unchanged, as if what happened, what is happening, and what will happen doesn't concern him.
"This is not what you want, right? You don't want a murderer who kills without cause or a heartless person who only does what is in his favor."
" Judgment without any second chances, isn't this what you hate? Where is justice in killing her while she is serious about wanting to make up for her mistake? Give her a chance"
" No way!! "
"We don't want justice."
"We want revenge."
" Revenge!! "
Arcana didn't understand what was happening, all she understood was that these people want to kill her and they don't want Shi Tu to forgive her so that he may suffer and be alone.
Previously, she had no choice but to betray Shi Tu, and now she can only sit around waiting for someone to decide her fate while Shi Tu's life and death depends on her.
Will she betray Shi Tu's trust again? Will she succumb to the pressures that exceed her capacity and give up on She Tu again?
Noo!!
Arcana gritted her teeth and screamed, "I don't know who you are, but if you are going to kill me anyway, can you allow me to help Shi Tu first?"
"Shut up!!"
"You don't have the right to interfere"
"Are you willing to die for him?" The opposing voice asked Arcana.
" Yes!! " Arcana didn't hesitate to answer
" Bullshit!! "
" she's lying "
"She just wants to survive by herself."
" Who commits betrayer once, will do it again."
The malevolent voices didn't believe Arcana's words and considered it a mere plea for mercy.
"Listen well, Shi Tu is very important to us, and we will not allow anything to interfere with his way, as the chosen One by Darkness Ring, he has a great mission, if you are not loyal to Shi Tu, I can let you leave and fulfill one wish for you, but don't meet Shi Tu again, either if you are loyal to him, your present self is only a burden on him and you must ..... ''
"Who are you to decide? I am the one who decides if she is a burden for me or not"
Suddenly, Shi Tu's objection rang out.
