This isn't a souls-like game at all.

This damn real sexual liberation is so disgusting!

"Don't let anger get to your head, comrade."

The light in Zhenshanzuo's eyes dimmed slightly, and he stepped forward across the ruins.

It looked at the Shenling Dragon Soul in the distance and made a low sound from its mouth.

"Remain indifferent and imagine yourself as a rock."

"Roar!!"

Shen Linglong Soul shattered the building beneath it and climbed up from the ruins.

Red light burst out of its eyes, and it raised its head and roared again, and invisible ripples then spread out from the metal dragon jaws.

Deep resentment and boundless madness seemed to transform into an invisible sky, descending upon every corner of the city across a distance of thousands of meters!

Ye Yiyi, who had just gained his freedom, had not yet stood firmly when he felt his legs trembling, his vision blurred, and countless strange whispers in his mind.

The voice of the Mountain Guarding Seat was mixed in with the whispers, like a lighthouse standing in the tsunami, shedding light to guide him on the way forward.

“The emotions of intellectual beings are similar, so they can resonate and have an impact.

“But for us with inorganic bodies, emotions and intellect are great blessings acquired only after birth!

"Although I don't know where the power in my comrade's body comes from, there is no doubt that my comrade, like me, is a true inorganic life form!"

"So, for now, let go of those blessings and return to my inanimate nature, becoming a piece of stone. I will remain unmoved by the rotation of light and shadow, the rising and setting of the sun and moon, and I will be one with all things."

Ye Yiyi listened to Zhenshanzuo's low narration like a lullaby, and the anger in her heart inexplicably dissipated.

For some reason, he suddenly thought of what Yuukoza had once said to him.

"The body is only an external object; the essence belongs to the true spirit."

In other words, the true spirit born from the inorganic body is the great blessing mentioned by the Mountain Guardian?

And abandon the blessing and return to the essence of non-life...

"Like a rock?"

Ye Yiyi seemed to sense something and slowly closed her eyes.

At that moment, the inorganic body made of metal lost all its vitality.

The blue bar that was slowly being consumed in the true liberation to maintain the body's movement also stopped.

When he opened his eyes again, the bright golden dragon pupils seemed to have turned into sparkling gems, no longer containing any emotions.

Seeing this, Zhenshanzuo chuckled.

"You did it, comrade."

"..."

Ye Yiyi looked up at the Mountain Guarding Seat beside him expressionlessly.

Then the wings of light behind him stretched out, and black and red flames burst out on them!

His figure rose from the ground and turned into a black and red comet, shooting outwards.

Thousands of meters of distance were crossed in an instant, and then the body hit Shen Linglonghun's forehead like a meteorite, who had no time to react.

“Crack!! Boom!!!”

The body of Shen Linglong Soul fell straight down, and the steel dragon head smashed a small building and sank deep into the ground.

The wailing and screaming were strangled deep in the throat before they could even come out.

Deep cracks appeared on the thick metal surface of the jaw, and black and red flames attached to it, burning fiercely. Suddenly, bursts of tragic howls like those from the depths of hell were filled in the air.

Looking at the metal dragon head under him, Ye Yi had no expression on his face and raised his fist to smash it!

"Click!!"

The thin arm broke through the metal scales and penetrated deep into them, and the irresistible force shattered the mandible!

"Woo~~"

Shen Linglong Soul groaned, and all six limbs moved together, struggling hard to get up from the ground.

Ye Yiyi waved the wings of light behind him, and his figure broke through the ruins of the building and rushed straight into the sky. Then he suddenly turned around in the air and fell heavily with boundless power!

"boom!!"

The earth shattered, circular air waves spread outward, and countless cracks climbed outward along the earth like spider webs.

Buildings in the distance collapsed amidst the shock waves and violent tremors.

The six limbs of Shen Linglong Soul were stiff and straight, and it had no power to resist.

At this moment, Ye Yiyi had transformed his body into a spear, completely piercing through the black iron dragon armor on the outside of Shen Ling Dragon Soul and deeply embedded into the dragon's head.

“Bang!!”

He swung his fist suddenly, smashing the layers of rotating metal gears in front of him and completely crushing the dragon head bone!

Then, a huge axis hidden deep in the dragon's head, shining with light purple light, emerged.

Ye Yiyi stared at the front indifferently, calmly raised the tail of the sword from behind, and gray flames suddenly bloomed above the Black Scale Contract!

"Crack!!"

The tip of the sword extended and silently penetrated the core.

The long blood bar in front of Ye Yiyi, which symbolized the Shen Ling Dragon Soul, also dropped to zero at this moment.

Shenling Dragon Soul·Pan Ya!

dead!

Chapter 435: Proxy Mode (?) and [Panfang Dragon Hammer]

As the core was penetrated, the blood bar dropped to zero, and the huge body of Shen Linglong Soul also lost its vitality.

Ye Yiyi flew out of the ruins with the core in his hand and landed on the top of a low building. The light wings behind him closed together, and then he looked indifferently at the light curtain in his eyes.

Soul Echo +46000

Current Soul Echoes: 211682

"..."

He stared at the light screen in silence for a long time, as if he had turned into a metal sculpture on the spot.

"Comrade..."

Behind him, Zhenshanzuo walked across the ruined street, a hint of worry appearing in his slightly dim eyes.

"...Your current state seems a little off."

Upon hearing the voice, Ye Yiyi slowly turned around, and stared at the Mountain Guarding Seat, which had suddenly fallen silent, with eyes that had lost focus at some point.

Looking into his eyes was like looking at a lifeless stone, a white cloud floating in the sky, or a waterwheel standing in a dry riverbed.

Zhenshanzuo could not sense any anger or emotion in his eyes, as if he did not have these things.

"..."

So the Mountain Guardian fell silent, not knowing how to start for a moment.

The scene that just happened left a deep impression on it.

Ye Yiyi, who had been oppressed by the true nature released by Shen Linglong Soul and unable to move freely, suddenly became like an efficient fighting machine.

Every move he made, every action he made, and every attack he launched were the simplest and most efficient actions under the current circumstances.

Coupled with the overwhelming violence and all kinds of strange and inexplicable peculiar abilities, he defeated Shen Linglong Soul in an instant, saw through the opponent's weaknesses, and completely killed its remaining soul!

More importantly, from beginning to end, all his actions were highly purposeful and without any feelings or emotions involved.

In the eyes of the Mountain Guardian, that person looked and behaved no differently from a skilled servant without a soul.

In other words, it is a mechanical puppet without emotions!

But this is quite different from what Zhenshanzuo originally said about closing the mind, and it feels like overdoing it.

Especially after the battle, when he saw Ye Yiyi's current appearance, Zhenshanzu felt a little uneasy in his heart.

When I ask you to close your mind, I mean that you should not be affected by external emotions and maintain your nature of being in the same state as all things!

It means that you should imagine yourself as a stone, not become a stone!

"what!"

Thinking of this, Zhenshanzuo suddenly exclaimed in surprise, and couldn't help but stretch out his only remaining hand to knock his forehead "bang bang".

"Is it possible..."

It lowered its head to look at Ye Yiyi, who was expressionless and indifferent to everything around him, and murmured self-blame.

"Comrade, you... weren't originally an inorganic life form?"

"hiss!!!"

As soon as the Mountain Guardian finished speaking, Ye Yiyi's pupils suddenly contracted, and then he bent down, gritted his teeth and took a long breath of cold air.

The door that sealed the emotions burst open, and the bound chaotic nature returned to the body.

Under the astonished and doubtful gaze of the Mountain Guardian, Ye Yi half-knelt on the ground, his emotions returning to his eyes, and then he gasped for breath.

“Fuck… Whew, this is so fucking exciting!”

"Comrade?"

"I'm fine, don't worry, I just pushed a little too hard."

Ye Yiyi waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, then stood up under the worried gaze of Zhenshanzuo, with an excited look on his face.

"Are you really okay? What about just now...?"

The Mountain Guarding Seat still didn't dare to relax.

Ye Yiyi patted his chest lightly, his eyes swept over the dead dragon body not far away, then he turned his head and smiled at the Mountain Guarding Seat.

"It's okay. Actually, what you said just now, Zhenshanzuo, is correct. If I were still in my physical body, I would have been able to close my mind and not be affected by the overflowing true nature."

"But..." Zhenshanzuo understood the meaning of his words and said thoughtfully.

"But the bad thing is, I'm currently in an inorganic state."

Ye Yiyi looked down at his iron-gray metal arm and sighed softly.

"This iron dragon body of mine was born for combat. If I suppress the activity of my true spirit in this situation, wouldn't I truly become a combat machine driven by instinct?"

"Suppress... the true spirit?"

Zhenshanzuo's tone was inexplicable. After thinking for a while, he was suddenly shocked.

"Comrade, you... have forcibly suppressed the activity of your true spirit!? Have you surrendered your body to instinct?"

"Yes."

Ye Yiyi nodded, looking a little surprised.

"Why are you so surprised? Isn't that how you explained it?"

"I……"

I never said that. I just asked you to seal your emotions, not to suppress your true spirit!

Looking at Ye Yiyi's self-assured expression, the words that Zhenshanzuo wanted to refute suddenly got stuck in his throat and finally turned into a soft sigh.

"Hey, comrade, do you know what the instinct of inorganic life is?"

"What is it?" Ye Yiyi asked curiously.

"The word life in inorganic life refers to the soul."

The Mountain Guardian answered the question irrelevantly and sighed:

"That is to say, inorganic life does not possess the nature of life, unlike flesh and blood life, which is endowed with life through both the body and the soul.

"Therefore, the flesh, or shell, of inorganic life does not possess the instincts that only life possesses."

"what?"
