There's a skeleton dungeon connected to my basement.

Chapter 575, The Sixth Evil God's Choice of One of Three
In the midst of the new world's somewhat frenzied, even hysterical, offensive.

I've been busy for quite some time now.

Fortunately, the other side wasn't truly endless.

Even the many gods stationed in the City of Hope were exhausted.

among them.

Especially the god of hunting, the ancient dragon descendant, and the god of radiance.

Except for the god of springs.

Xiao Yang went to attend to his own business.

The Salvation Army's expansion did not stop, but its progress was inevitably slowed down by the upheaval of the world's will.

However, it didn't cause any major trouble.

The increase in monster intensity was even seen as a good thing.

The sacrifices and deaths of the war did not frighten the young men.

"The desire has even become more fervent?"

Joining the Salvation Army remains one of the most popular choices in Hope City.

"Young soldiers yearn for glory."

Simultaneously.

Even the most dashing mercenary wouldn't stoop to plucking a wild dog's tail to exchange for wine.

Combat professions in the City of Hope.

"Free mercenaries, the surviving combat players, the saviors."

A large portion of their profits comes from the loot produced by monsters in the wilderness.

The increase in monsters is not necessarily a bad thing, especially since we are not directly facing the strange evil god, but only seeing an increase in monsters in the wilderness.

These wilderness monsters have been selected.

Those that are too powerful are dealt with at a considerable distance.

Secondary authority over the war began to coalesce.

In the previous period, Xiao Yang's efforts to consolidate his power were particularly unsuccessful.

"It's not fair to say there were no achievements, but it's fair to say there was no progress."

but now.

When he gave up on actively intervening and went to busy himself with other things, the progress actually started to increase.

This is really hard to explain.

………….

An ordinary door appeared in Lena's office.

A disheveled man stumbled out from behind the door.

Yes.

"Climb out."

It's the same feeling, only this time it's much, much stronger.

Xiao Yang felt like his head was about to explode.

Okay, I've had this feeling many times already.

This time, however, it's even more powerful.

He slowly dragged himself onto Lena's office chair, staring blankly with a bewildered look in his eyes.

"who am I?"

This question lingered in my mind.

In the sixth choice between three evil gods, he chose mania.

This time, the choice of one of the three is a little special.

Xiao Yang became even more manic after taking it.

[Becoming even more manic]
Quality: Mythical

Effect: Spiritual elevation

Introduction: I tore my own soul apart; I want to see, I want to see, to see the truth deep within my soul.

This time, in the third repeated choice, the mania no longer brought Xiao Yang mental resistance.

It's very direct.

"A spiritual leap."

This is the right path.

It was just too painful.

The dark abyss deep within the soul has been further expanded.

Perhaps it could now be called a large pool or a lake?

Perhaps with each improvement, a new sea of ​​the soul will appear deep within Xiao Yang's heart.

This upgrade is somewhat different from the last one.

Perhaps because the small pond was expanded too much at once, it has not been completely filled up even now.

A gentle stream of water continuously flows into this small lake.

Although the water flow is very small.

But if it continues, it will eventually fill the small lake little by little.

Theoretically speaking.

But in reality, it is indeed possible, although there are some additional procedures involved.

As time passed, the babbling stream gradually diminished.

The power supply is about to be cut off.

Whether driven by unknown forces or by his own choices, Xiao Yang's soul began to twist on its own.

This is the source of Xiao Yang's suffering.

The water flowed ceaselessly, its source unknown, but every so often, Xiao Yang felt as if his soul was being torn apart.

This is even more unbearable than the last time.

"It feels like I'm squeezing juice out of myself."

It shatters the soul time and time again.

Fortunately, this pain was not continuous, but intermittent.

Otherwise, Xiao Yang shouldn't even think about doing anything else during this time.

This process has come to an end once again.

As the pain gradually subsided, Xiao Yang regained his peace.

Sometimes I really don't understand.

Regardless of the system.

At least based on Xiao Yang's understanding.

"The soul is a fragile and sensitive thing."

But the situation was different when it happened to Xiao Yang himself.

Who would treat the soul of a good person like a dish sponge and wring it out?

Moreover, simply wringing it out isn't enough; you have to squeeze the water out of it repeatedly.

I remained dazed for quite a long time.

But there is no way.

Xiao Yang had no idea how to stop such a painful process.

Fortunately, there was still that last glimmer of hope.

"All we need to do is fill this lake in."

He spoke to himself in this trembling voice.

There is still hope.

The suffering will eventually end.

and.

With each extraction of his soul, Xiao Yang's soul grew stronger little by little.

The principle is not complicated.

"Break the bone repeatedly and let it heal itself. Little by little, it will become thicker and harder."

I just don't know if applying this formula to the soul is appropriate.

I'm afraid that apart from Xiao Yang, no one else could really do that.

Even Xiao Yang had no choice but to endure this pain.

It all comes down to the same point.

What doesn't kill me makes me stronger.

Aside from the recurring mania and the expanded Lake of the Soul, the sixth choice between the three, also involved the support of the Pale Hand and the Scarlet Eye.

They waited patiently for Xiao Yang to finish rolling around on the ground.

Xiao Yang accepted the gifts from the two men without hesitation.

Perhaps it is a quantitative change that leads to a qualitative change.

As Xiao Yang's hands became increasingly numerous, he gained a new ability.

The Hand of the Soul

Effect: Can be touched and held spiritually.

Introduction: Please don't be afraid. In my dream, I brushed your cheek. Please don't wake up; let this dream continue, beautiful and wonderful.

To put it in a more complex way, Xiao Yang can now directly grasp those special spiritualities that are difficult to touch directly.

To put it simply...

Even without using any of his abilities, Xiao Yang is still able to deliver two powerful punches to those illusory ghosts.

I was just thinking about how to deal with the ghost, Youlan.

but now.

"When something that was once unattainable comes into your life, you no longer feel the same joy."

A rather subtle emotion.

Such a qualitative change has not yet occurred on the side of Duomu, but the ill-fated relationship between Xiao Yang and the Pale Hand is much deeper.

But it was only a matter of time.

"never mind."

"Don't worry about having too many lice."

He slumped into his seat.

like a statue.

A numb and exhausted state.

Not just himself.

Before long, without anyone noticing, figures appeared in the office one by one.

They all looked numb and exhausted.

Except for one guy.

"The god of springs that blows bubbles in the fish tank."
