My mom is waiting for treatment, and you're summoning me to be a hero?

"The game is over."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tashuk's illusory soul image froze.

He gritted his teeth, a glimmer of desperate hope flashing in his eyes.

"So what if you killed all the merfolk? I can still absorb the souls of my race to resurrect! Just wait! I will definitely come back for revenge and tear you to pieces..."

Before he could finish his harsh words, a huge shadow suddenly enveloped his soul.

Tashuk felt a chill run down his spine and instinctively turned his head to look, his pupils suddenly contracting.

Five enormous soul behemoths stood slowly behind him.

Its jet-black body was as imposing as a mountain, its sharp claws gleamed coldly, and its scarlet eyes were fixed on him.

Surrounded by five Behemoth souls, the originally tall Tashuk soul appeared rather small.

"This is……"

Tashuk's voice trembled with disbelief.

At the same time, Lin Mo's voice, like a cold whisper, penetrated directly into the depths of his soul: "You really think I have no way to deal with you in your soul form?"

Tashuk was startled and looked up at Lin Mo with a look of confusion in his eyes.

"Then why didn't you stop me just now? Why did you let me absorb souls? Why... why did you slaughter the merfolk?"

At this point, his voice suddenly stopped, his pupils contracted sharply, and the doubt on his face was instantly replaced by extreme shock.

With his shrewdness, capable of planning for decades, he instantly understood Lin Mo's true purpose.

This guy was never meant to stop him from absorbing souls in the first place.

Instead, they need an excuse, an excuse to slaughter the entire merfolk and plunder all their souls without any scruples!

The souls of the mermaids were already bound to him. By killing the mermaids, Lin Mo could not only seize their souls to strengthen himself, but also completely cut off any possibility of their resurrection.

They can even use the pretext of "stopping the tyrant" to conceal their true intention of plundering souls.

"You...you just want an excuse! An excuse to slaughter civilians and plunder souls!"

Tashuk roared hysterically, his voice filled with resentment and bitterness.

He only realized on his deathbed that he had been nothing more than a pawn used by Lin Mo to become stronger.

Lin Mo did not answer, nor did he need to.

Because at the very moment Tashuk roared, the five Soul Behemoths moved simultaneously.

The sharp claws, carrying a soul-tearing power, viciously clawed at Tashuk's soul.

There are no fancy moves, only the most direct and ferocious attacks.

Tashuk's soul was already extremely weak and was completely unable to withstand the attack of the Soul Behemoth.

Amidst screams, his soul was torn apart by claws and brutally ripped and ravaged by the Behemoth's fangs.

The once complete phantom of the soul gradually became fragmented and illusory.

In the end, it completely turned into a wisp of a remnant soul, which was forcibly pulled away by the black sword in Lin Mo's hand and absorbed into the sword's body.

The moment Lin Mo absorbed the soul of the tower, he felt a jolt, and a strange sensation swept over his entire body.

It was as if countless tiny patterns of light, representing the laws of nature, were flowing from the black sword into his body.

It flowed along his meridians and eventually merged into his soul.

He subconsciously raised his hand, and on a whim, made a casual gesture.

The seawater outside the bubble coating above my head suddenly surged.

A tentacle as thick as a finger passed through the coated bubble and slowly came to Lin Mo, obediently wrapping around his fingertips, letting him control it.

"Is this... the power of the laws?"

Lin Mo looked at the ocean current tentacles on his fingertips, muttering to himself, a hint of curiosity and understanding flashing in his eyes.

This is the ocean law that Tashuk controlled, which he has now plundered.

Although it was only the most basic bit, it was enough for him to have a basic grasp of the seawater.

"That's right~"

The crimson blood on Lin Mo's shoulder leaped down, transforming into a tall, mature woman, hands on her hips, looking smug.

"Now that you've made some initial contact with the realm of demigods, it's time to explain this knowledge to you."

As he spoke, Yin Xue cleared his throat.

"The strength of one's comprehension of the power of laws is also a standard for defining the strength of a demigod. Some demigods specialize in one law, just like the three demigod souls you absorbed at the beginning. They are experts in one field and concentrate their power."

"Some demigods have multiple areas of influence, touching upon various laws, but this is extremely difficult and requires the use of divine artifacts to plunder the power of those laws, just like me!"

As she spoke, she deliberately raised her hand and waved it, a faint wisp of the laws of fire and darkness intertwining and dancing at her fingertips.

The pride in his voice was impossible to conceal: "Unless you're a top genius, you wouldn't dare do that. One wrong move and you'd be thrown into chaos, exploding and dying!"

Lin Mo nodded slightly, understanding in his heart.

On this continent, talent is of paramount importance.

It determines the speed at which experience points are gained.

It determines the upper limit of attribute value growth.

Even after becoming a demigod, one can still determine the speed at which one comprehends the laws.

He possesses the Black Sword, a divine artifact capable of absorbing souls and plundering laws.

Furthermore, the special status of a hero allows them to almost completely disregard the importance of talent.

Other demigods need to spend years, decades, or even centuries trying to comprehend the laws.

But Lin Mo only needs to kill a demigod to directly plunder the opponent's power of law and quickly improve himself.

"Looks like I'll have to kill more demigods in the future."

Lin Mo thought to himself, and as soon as the thought crossed his mind, the attribute panel slowly appeared before his eyes.

Name: Lin Mo

In addition, there is an extra column below.

Lin Mo secretly began to make plans in his mind.

Killing the entire civilian population of the merfolk brought him approximately 300,000 attribute points.

As a demigod, Tashuk not only provided a 200,000 bonus to all attributes.

It also caused him to jump directly from level 80 to level 85, a jump of 5 levels.

Even so, Lin Mo's face still didn't show much of a smile; instead, he frowned slightly, somewhat dissatisfied.

I had absorbed two Twilight Stones, but I only leveled up by 5. It was still too slow.

He thought to himself that he needed to work harder and find more demigods to work on in order to improve his strength more quickly.

Just as Lin Mo was thinking this, Yin Xue suddenly patted him.

"Quickly absorb that too, it's also the Demon King's legacy."

Lin Mo looked in the direction Yin Xue was pointing.

It was the very soul scepter used by Tashuk's soul.

The scepter lay on the ground, translucent, with a purple crystal at its tip radiating a rich power of law.

"That's the power of the laws of the soul; it will definitely be of great use to you."

Yin Xue said excitedly.
