At the same time, but the crazy

Chapter 626 Angels and Ultraman
With Gabriel and Michael's submission, the angelic legion suspended in the air, like puppets without strings, uniformly retracted their wings and murderous aura, bowing their heads in silence.

However, there was no joy on Ye's face in the face of this sudden power.

He looked up at the high hill, his gaze piercing through the void, meeting Zhang Qi's interested eyes.

A problem has arisen.

"Teacher, I remember you said that the myriad races are remnants of the previous era, and in order to sneak into this era, they voluntarily signed a contract with the snake."

The true spirit, however, is locked within the 'Snake's' Investiture of the Gods.

Today they submit to me because of the Holy Light, but if the 'serpent' issues a decree in the future, they will not hesitate to turn their spears against us.

This force is poison…

The voice of "Yes" echoed in Zhang Qi's sea of ​​consciousness, carrying a hint of solemnity.
Zhang Qi's figure faded from the hilltop and reappeared beside Ye in the next instant.

"Poison, when used correctly, can be a good remedy. It's always better to have this sword in our hands than to have it hanging over our heads."

Zhang Qi's voice carried a knowing calmness.

"Moreover, this may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"The control of the 'snake' is not without clues. As long as we can analyze its methods of anchoring the true spirit, we may be able to sever this link."

He extended a finger, the tip of which was surrounded by a faint, mysterious aura belonging to his own Investiture of the Gods.

Do you think all races are willing to be driven by the 'serpent'?

They are nothing more than tools used by the 'serpent' to harvest the fortune of humanity and seize assets from the multiverse.

Once a tool loses its value, it will be discarded without hesitation. I believe that there are many far-sighted individuals among all races who can understand this principle.

If we can crack the 'serpent's' methods, then we can turn far more than just the angels against us.

Zhang Qi's gaze swept over Michael and Gabriel, his tone becoming serious:
Ye's mind stirred slightly; if this move succeeded, it would greatly weaken the power of the Serpent faction.

"I understand."

He nodded, his gaze returning to the angels before him.

"Starting with them might be the best option."

What exactly is life?
If we break it down from a material perspective, carbon-based life is nothing more than an orderly aggregation of elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen.

But piling these elements together will only result in a cold, lifeless piece of flesh, not a vibrant individual.

The same applies to elemental life; fire and water themselves have no intelligence.

The boundary between "life" and "death" is defined by that elusive and elusive "true spirit".

The outward manifestation of the true spirit is "intelligence".

Angels, as creations of holy light, undoubtedly have a life form that leans more towards pure energy and spirit, and therefore are closer to the essence of "true spirit".

Ye closed his eyes, and his connection with the source of holy light reached its peak at this moment.

His perception was no longer limited to sight and hearing, but transformed into an invisible tentacle, quietly probing into the deepest part of their life forms along the holy light flowing from Michael and Gabriel.

It was a vast and pure ocean of light, the abode of the true spirits of the angels.

However, at the very core of this sea of ​​light, in the deepest part of every angel's soul, on the origin representing the concept of "self," there is an extremely tiny yet incredibly strong mark.

This tiny stain was so obvious to a being like an angel.

It exudes a cold and deathly sense of absolute order that is incompatible with holy light.

It is like a venomous snake, tightly coiling around and parasitizing the true spirit, drawing nourishment from it and controlling everything about it.

This is the method of the "serpent," absolute control directly from the level of the true spirit.

Moreover, this may also be the reason why snakes can harvest human fortune through all races.

Ye then shared his findings and analysis with Zhang Qi.

"Sure enough."

Zhang Qi's eyes sharpened. "Controlling through the true spirit is the most direct and also the most domineering method."

However, this should only be a method used against ordinary races.

If it were someone of Donghuang Taiyi's level, then this level of imprint alone wouldn't be enough to completely restrain such a powerful being.

"Is there a way to break it?"

Jesus asked.

"Yes, since this mark has become one with the true spirit and is difficult to separate, then... let's cut it off as well!"

Zhang Qi's answer was resolute, and the reason was very simple.

"This……"

Ye was stunned. Was this really a miracle? Was it really okay to cut it directly?
"First, annihilate their existing energy forms and completely restore them to their purest true spirit state."

Then, you will take action, using your control over the Holy Light, to locate the corrupted parts of their true spirits.

Finally... I will cut it apart, and then use the power of my Investiture of the Gods to fill in the gaps.

Zhang Qi explained that his Investiture of the Gods itself had the function of referencing Chaldea from the Fate world.

Angels are very similar to Servants in the Fate series; they are products of materialization made from sample data of Heroic Spirits from the Boundary Records and combined with magic.

Therefore, it is entirely possible to cut and fill in the missing data.

Whether it can be done or not, we'll have to try and see.

Ye fell into a long silence.

This plan sounds more like a full-blown murder.

To completely decompose a living being, sever its soul, and then fill it with another kind of power.

Is this new life still the same person? Can a "copy" with the same memories and emotions still be called a "self"?
"Which one do you think is closer to the true 'self': a slave with a collar on his neck or a newborn who has regained his freedom?"

Seemingly sensing Ye's hesitation, Zhang Qi spoke calmly.

Ye's body trembled slightly, he took a deep breath, and then he had an idea.

“I have a way to sever your connection with that ‘ruler’ and grant you true freedom.”

But this process requires you to completely abandon your current physical body and a part of your soul.

You will face a complete death and an unknown rebirth.

"Are you... willing?"

He stepped forward, facing Michael and Gabriel.

“We obey the will of the new Lord.”

Michael and Gabriel exchanged a glance and then nodded.

Without hesitation, they knelt down on one knee, and the legion of angels behind them followed suit.

Afterwards, the others continued to build cities in the area, while Jehovah Zhang Qi began to dismantle the angels.

Amidst the light, the angels' magnificent bodies, composed of energy, began to disintegrate, transforming into the purest golden particles.

In the end, only a fist-sized ball of light, emitting a soft glow, remained—that was their true spirit.

There was a small stain on it, so small that it would have gone unnoticed if one didn't have Ye's talent.

This was not difficult for Zhang Qi to solve. He decisively took action and wiped out the light spot.

Then, as if it had lost a vital support, the ball of light began to shake and disintegrate.

But the next moment, Zhang Qi took out the ancient scroll and began to repair it with his power.

Besides the initial factors, a person's self-perception is also determined by their experiences and the influence of the external environment.

In the Investiture of the Gods, this true spirit will experience everything from the past again, and eventually stabilize.

After that, the final step is to reshape it.

"If we're going to reinvent ourselves, let's not use the old, flashy but impractical approach."

Zhang Qi's voice suddenly rang in Ye's mind.
"Although the form of angels is sacred, they have not yet pushed the power of light to its limit."

I know of a form, a form that can fully display the power of 'light'.

Upon hearing this, Ye didn't think much of it and handed over the reins of the reshaping to Zhang Qi.

So, a few days later

When Ye came again, he saw an enormous outline slowly taking shape in the light.

The light dissipated.

Jesus stared blankly at his creation, lost in deep thought.

It was a giant that was fifty meters tall.

Its body is predominantly a pure silver, interwoven with crimson representing courage and strength, and azure symbolizing wisdom and mystery.

The flowing lines are full of power, yet the silver face still possesses a sacred beauty.

The most striking feature is the diamond-shaped crystal on its chest, which emits a soft blue light and resembles a gemstone.

This...this is so different from an "angel"!
