Chapter 203 Carrying
“Oh right.” Lin Qiye seemed to recall something. “Will the original body know what happened to this projection?”
“No. Although they come from the same soul, they don’t share information between them. Only if this projection dies will the original body know it’s gone, but won’t know the specific details of what happened.”
“That’s good.” Lin Qiye nodded. “Then I’ll trouble Lord Merlin to take action.”
“It’s nothing.” Merlin smiled slightly.
He pressed his hand in the void, and a deep red magic circle rapidly traced in front of him. A terrifying pressure from an unknown source descended upon the room, as if some being had cast its gaze here, cold and eerie.
“Abyss magic belongs to the forbidden branch, specializing in souls. You should leave first, otherwise the power from the abyss might harm you accidentally,” Merlin said to Lin Qiye while conducting the abyss magic ritual.
Lin Qiye nodded and walked out the door, down the stairs to the courtyard. Li Yifei was standing next to Nyx, holding today’s medicine.
Seeing Lin Qiye walk out of the room, Li Yifei asked curiously:
“What happened?”
“Nothing much. A rat got into the hospital, and Merlin is teaching it a lesson,” Lin Qiye waved his hand dismissively.
“Oh…” Li Yifei seemed somewhat disappointed. “Azhu told me you brought another chi… ahem, caretaker here. I thought we might have less work to do. Besides, Azhu isn’t very bright, he can’t even play mahjong properly. Maybe next time you could pick someone smarter to kill?”
Lin Qiye: …
After speaking, Li Yifei sneakily moved closer to Lin Qiye and whispered: “Let me tell you, just the other day… I broke through to the Chuan realm.”
Lin Qiye was stunned. “You broke through? What did you do?”
Li Yifei spread his hands innocently. “I didn’t do anything! I don’t understand cultivation, let alone exercise. I’ve gained even more weight these past few months… It just happened mysteriously. I didn’t even know it was a breakthrough until the snake demon told me.”
Lin Qiye looked at Li Yifei, stroking his chin thoughtfully.
This meant he now had three Chuan realm fighters, though he wondered what changes would occur to the Forbidden Order after the Nanda snake demon broke through to the Chuan realm…
Lin Qiye shook his head. Now wasn’t the time to think about these things. He turned to look at Nyx and said with a bitter smile:
“Mother, we might really need your help soon.”
Although Whisper had walked right into his trap at the mental hospital and was now under his control, he hadn’t forgotten about the Flame-veined Earth Dragon and the Hai realm expert outside. Faced with a difference of two major realms, even if he summoned the caretakers, they wouldn’t stand a chance.
Nyx smiled and nodded, seeming to recall something, and said:
“Thanatos, I want to remind you again that my divine authority is not complete. Even if I go to your world in soul form, victory in battle is not guaranteed.”
Lin Qiye was stunned.
“So, I have a better suggestion,” Nyx continued. “Pour my soul power into your divine authority.”
“Divine authority?” Lin Qiye was confused. “I don’t have any divine authority.”
“Of course you do.” Nyx stepped forward and gently touched his chest with her fingertip. A familiar darkness appeared behind both of them simultaneously, resonating with each other!
Lin Qiye looked down at the night spreading beneath his feet, suddenly understanding.
“The Darkest Divine Order?”
He clearly remembered that when he drew the [Darkest Divine Order] ability, it was labeled as a divine authority ability.
“Yes, this is my divine authority, although only a part of it,” Nyx said with a smile. “Although I don’t know why you have my divine authority, since you possess it, you can carry my soul…”
“What will happen after carrying the soul?”
“A god is mainly composed of divine authority, divine body, and soul. Currently, I only have my soul and broken divine authority, without a physical body. So even if I go to your world, each time I take action consumes my soul essence, not only lacking power but also risking soul dissipation.”
“But if I inject my soul into your divine authority, combined with your physical body, you will truly possess part of the authority over night, which would be much better than simply consuming soul power.”
“Will I become something like a Night Goddess?”
“Only temporarily, and because my soul is too powerful while your divine authority and physical body are too weak, each use will drain your soul power to some extent. It’s best not to use it unless necessary.”
Lin Qiye nodded, a gleam appearing in his eyes. “I understand…”
Just then, the door on the second floor of the hospital opened, and Merlin, wearing a robe, leisurely walked into the courtyard leading a pug.
Lin Qiye was stunned. “Lord Merlin, is it done?”
“Yes, I’ve stuffed the soul from the other dimension into the original body’s mind.” Merlin smiled.
“What about the projection? Did it dissipate?”
“No, it’s right here.” Merlin crouched down and patted the pug’s head, which hung its head low, its eyes full of fear.
Lin Qiye looked at the pug, his mouth agape in shock. “You… turned him into a dog?”
“That’s right.” Merlin shrugged. “After I used abyss magic on him, his soul was damaged, and there will be some mental issues…”
“I originally planned to just scatter his soul, but then I thought the hospital could use some more liveliness, so I used transformation magic to turn him into a dog, something to play with when we’re bored.”
As he spoke, he bent down and scratched under the pug’s chin. The pug’s eyes became somewhat vacant, and after a moment, it uncertainly opened its mouth…
“Meow?”
Lin Qiye: …
Li Yifei: …
Merlin: …
“Well, there are some mental issues… just a few.” Merlin smiled harmlessly.
Li Yifei curiously crouched down, made a downward gesture, and said seriously to the pug: “Sit!”
The pug pondered for a moment, then lay down on the ground while frantically wiggling its lower body against the dirt in the courtyard, as if doing some strange exercise.
Li Yifei grimaced and looked at Merlin, “Uncle Merlin, this dog of yours isn’t quite right, is it?”
Merlin kept his eyes fixed straight ahead, pretending he hadn’t heard anything.
Lin Qiye looked sympathetically at the confused pug and said with a wry smile, “Whatever makes you happy… I need to go now, they’re probably getting impatient outside…”
“Time to give them a surprise.”
Lin Qiye’s eyes narrowed slightly.
