Douluo Continent: The Butterfly, Starting from the Authority of Death

Within the sea of ​​spiritual consciousness.

"I do not understand!"

The demon cursed and swore, like a kitten that had successfully hunted its prey only to have it escape, its fur standing on end like a hedgehog.

The consciousness of the butterfly entered the sea of ​​spiritual awareness.

"Why didn't you absorb such a good soul bone yourself? How could you do this to me?"

Purple butterflies of varying sizes hovered above the sea of ​​flowers.

Chattering incessantly, until one's voice is hoarse and strained.

"Quiet."

Xia Die raised her hand, her fair palm pressing gently.

Countless purple butterflies vanished quickly, leaving only the closest one, which the butterfly lured onto my finger.

"Your Excellency, I know you are angry, but please don't be angry yet." Xia Die's voice was like a gentle breeze blowing through a sea of ​​flowers, calming all the noise.

"My lady, I don't understand." The butterfly landed on Xia Die's finger, flapping its wings incessantly to express its dissatisfaction, and said indignantly, "My spiritual power head soul bone is power that was specially condensed for you."

Why give it to someone else so easily?

"You defeated me, I sacrificed myself to you, I acknowledge your power."

"But what is that 'long-lasting thing'?"

"A mere Soul King? I'd wet my pants just looking at him."

"Your Excellency Demon Spirit, I am merely a one-ring Soul Master, not even a Soul King," Xia Die felt it necessary to remind the other party.

"This is different." The demon spirit seemed to have bristled. "You say you're a one-ring Soul Master? Ask those two Title Douluos outside, do you think they'll believe you?"

Xia Die: "..."

What you're saying seems to make a lot of sense.

"I do not understand."

The demon questioned again, with a tone that suggested it was determined to get to the bottom of things.

The butterfly remained silent for a long time.

"I don't need a soul bone."

"What do you mean you don't need it? That's a soul bone! A ferocious beast soul bone that humans dream of."

The demon spirit bristled again. What kind of human doesn't need a soul bone? How is this any different from a soul master being able to increase their strength without a soul beast?

"My lady, I'm not trying to be mean."

"You said you would resurrect me after you became a god, and I agreed."

"But are you really going to waste it like this?"

"Even with good intentions, you can't do this!"

"By the way, what were those human stories about again? 'In times of chaos, kill the saintly mother first.'"

"I am not a saint, Your Majesty the Demon Spirit."

"But your actions are no different from those of a saint!" the demon continued to ramble on.

"Demon spirit".

A butterfly stands amidst a sea of ​​flowers.

The Antichrist flowers are every single flower in the sea of ​​flowers, while the spirits become every butterfly fluttering in this sea of ​​flowers.

"I have a feeling that things won't be peaceful when I go back this time. I need the Star Luo Empire to help me fend off external forces."

"Not peaceful!?" The demon spirit broke down. "You know it's not peaceful, yet you still don't increase your strength?"

"Yes, your mental strength is very strong, stronger than any human I have ever seen."

"But the soul bone, I mean my soul bone, even if it's a spiritual attribute, can still improve your physique and soul power."

"A mere 27-year-old soul bone." Xia Die's gaze was leisurely, as if she hadn't heard the demon spirit's exasperation.

"A mere 27 years."

The butterfly struggled to break free from the restraints of Xia Die's fingers and crashed into Xia Die's forehead.

However, Xia Die was not harmed at all.

Instead, the fluttering demon spirit collided with the butterfly's smooth forehead, bounced back, and almost had its wings split open, causing it to crash.

"My lady, you're not human."

The demon's thousand words were summed up in one sentence.

"Your Excellency Demon Spirit, I have my reasons." Xia Die sighed. "I don't need a soul bone, I never have."

Xia Die smoothed her purple bangs and smiled gently: "To paraphrase a line from a certain novel, golden blood is the invincible path, why borrow the bones of others?"

"Golden blood, what is that?"

The demon was puzzled, but quickly grasped the meaning of "golden blood" in Xia Die's tone.

"You'll find out later, Lord Demon Spirit." Xia Die didn't continue, her eyes deep and unfathomable. "Elder Yi has recovered a great deal, and I can't gather it all up by myself in a short time."

"If Xu Jiujiu can satisfy me, what harm is there in giving her the soul bone?"

As a former executioner in Ohma and Aglaia's deputy, Xia Die knew that sometimes empty promises were less effective than tangible results.

Seemingly sensing Xia Die's determination, the demon spirit stopped pressuring her and asked worriedly, "Aren't you worried they might change their minds?"

"I have been to the human world many times, and humans are countless times more cunning than soul beasts."

"Change your mind?"

Xiaodie gently flicked her finger, drawing the butterfly back to her finger.

"The Limit Douluo of Shrek Academy won't live long. The Star Luo Empire doesn't need to offend me or my teacher for Shrek's sake. I can bring them more benefits."

"Those who have money but no power will be coveted, but those who have money and power will be targeted."

"It will inspire both fear and respect."

"I've given them the benefits, and the pressure has been enough."

"If I ask for nothing, it will only make them worry."

"You humans really have a lot of tricks up your sleeves." The demon spirit wasn't quite sure what Xia Die meant, but it was enough that the master it recognized wasn't a saint.

"Your Excellency Demon Spirit, I hope you can use the Soul Bone to help me monitor her."

"Surveillance?"

"Hmm." Xia Die nodded. "Besides tending to this sea of ​​flowers, you must be quite bored, right?"

"How did you do that? My soul bone shouldn't have this ability!"

The demon spirit looked surprised. It sensed its own soul bone and found that it could indeed make a connection.

Even more, I could vaguely sense the emotions that Xu Jiujiu had when he was absorbing the soul bone.

"Joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness; birth, aging, sickness, and death." Xia Die's eyes were deep and mysterious. "As long as there is life, it possesses these."

As she spoke, Xia Die gently shook her head: "Even if I explained it to you, you probably wouldn't understand!"

"I know that you have deleted some of your memories of the Star Dou Great Forest."

The demon spirit remained silent, not pressing Xia Die on how she knew.

"To what extent, I mean to that princess."

The demon spirit quickly changed the subject, seemingly subconsciously unwilling to discuss matters related to the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Just keep an eye on her. If anything is detrimental to me, let me know," Xia Die said softly. "As for the soul bone, just like I said before, it depends on the princess's own performance."

"I see,"

The spirit shook its head, and the butterfly vanished as specks of light.

Once again, butterflies of all sizes appeared in the entire field of Antirhinium flowers.

It seems that each one is transformed from a demon spirit.

The fluttering butterflies bring a touch of life and peace to this tranquil sea of ​​flowers.

The consciousness of the butterfly withdraws from the sea of ​​spiritual awareness.

She sensed the situation over there from the perspective of spiritual and soul power.

It will take some time for Xu Jiujiu to fully absorb the soul bone.

"Extinction of Golden Blood".

The butterfly murmured these four words.

Theoretically speaking, with her Soul Master body, she simply couldn't withstand the appearance of Polyces.

Not to mention Bolykes, even if he absorbed the soul power of two Title Douluos and one Soul King.

Even with the help of other fields, it is theoretically very difficult to achieve.

But she did it, without any side effects, and at that time, she had that feeling of destroying everything.

His own body, or rather the golden blood flowing within him, was probably not the same as it was before he became the Death Titan.

Xi Lian, is it because of this that I can travel through the universe?

That's why you told Polycia to be careful of the pawns of destruction.
