“Before the leader returned, they had used armed force to attack our soldiers who were responsible for spreading the faith.”
The Holy Lord explained.
"But at that time, the boss gave an order that no fighting was to be carried out before he returned."
"We just let them go."
"Now, the boss is back."
"Of course, a reckoning is necessary."
Hearing this, Keisha's last bit of discomfort dissipated.
It was not a massacre without cause.
Rather, it was a purge of the enemy.
Although it was still cruel, she was able to understand it.
However, as she looked at the Holy Lord's enormous, sky-covering figure, a deeper curiosity welled up in her heart.
Such a powerful force...
Simply unheard of.
"Have you... always been this strong?"
Unable to contain her curiosity, Liang Bing asked first.
"Tell me."
"What exactly are you?"
The Holy Lord remained silent for a moment.
He shouldn't have revealed his background to others.
He glanced back at the Skyblade warship.
Both of them are the boss's women.
One is the eldest sister-in-law, and the other... although the eldest brother didn't say, it seems to be about the same.
Talk to them, they should... be alright, right?
Having figured this out, the ancient voice of the Holy Lord slowly resounded in Keisha and Liang Bing's ears.
"I was once just a soul."
"It was the boss who gave me a new life."
Liang Bing's eyes lit up.
"Soul? Rebirth? Continue!"
The Holy Lord seemed lost in distant memories, and his voice became somewhat distant.
"I originally..."
"He is a demon wizard."
Chapter 151 What if I die too?
This opening remark made Liang Bing raise an eyebrow, while Keisha listened quietly.
“In my world, I was once the supreme ruler, possessing powerful magic and a lofty status.”
There was no emotion in the Lord's voice; he was simply stating a long-faded fact.
"Later, my physical body was destroyed."
"My soul was imprisoned, sinking into endless hell, and I thought that was my eternal end."
"Until the boss appears."
"He used a power I couldn't comprehend to pull my soul out."
The Holy Lord paused for a moment, and something seemed to be surging within his scarlet dragon eyes.
"At the time, I thought it was just another form of imprisonment, falling from one cage into another, even more terrible one."
"I thought I would become a mindless, dignityless slave in his hands, fighting for him until my soul was completely annihilated."
"But I was wrong."
"The boss gave me a new life."
"He not only gave me a body that is far stronger than before, but also let me see one new world after another."
“He did not treat me as a slave, but instead made me follow him and witness an unimaginable future.”
For the first time, the words of the Holy Lord carried an almost pious tone.
After all, Lin Ci truly gave the Holy Lord hope, and fulfilled that hope.
This finally freed him from the rules of yin and yang balance, allowing his wisdom and power to return to their peak, or even greater.
Keisha remained silent.
She can understand that feeling.
A thousand years ago, when she was at her most desperate and helpless, it was that man who descended from the sky.
They draped a coat over her, giving her the courage and hope to overthrow everything.
However, Liang Bing's focus was completely different.
Her fingers tapped lightly on her arm, catching a key word.
Liang Bing interrupted the Holy Lord's recollection.
You said...he made you stronger?
Her voice was transmitted directly through the dark communication system.
"What does it mean?"
The Holy Lord's massive body paused slightly, as if he were considering how to explain.
"The boss has a certain ability."
"A magical ability."
"The spirit follows the initiative."
Keisha and He Xi's gazes sharpened instantly.
What does "spiritual agency" mean?
The ancient voice of the Holy Lord rang out once more, and this time, every word carried immense weight.
“All the souls captured by the boss can possess half of his original strength.”
The communication channel fell into absolute silence.
Time and space seemed to freeze at this moment.
The silver wings behind Keisha dimmed a bit.
For the first time, He Xi's brain, which was always working at high speed, showed signs of crashing.
The nonchalant look on Liang Bing's face vanished completely.
Half the strength?
Half of what?
Half of Lin Ci?
In less than three minutes, a planet was reduced to a dead land.
The Holy Lord who completely wiped out a powerful spacefaring civilization from the universe.
Its power...
Is it merely half of Lin Ci's work?
This idea exploded in the minds of the three queens, stirring up a huge wave.
They believed they had overestimated Lin Ci's strength enough.
But now we realize how barren their imagination is.
It was a force that was completely beyond comprehension and could not be measured by any known unit.
If the power of the Holy Lord is a vast ocean...
Lin Ci's power encompasses this vast ocean, and indeed the entire universe.
Liang Bing's breathing became rapid.
Her chest heaved violently, her heart pounding wildly behind her ribs with a deafening drumbeat.
One piece of information after another collided wildly in her mind.
Then they were connected into a logical chain that made her scalp tingle.
First, the soul truly exists.
This is not a myth, not a conjecture, but an entity that can be observed, captured, and controlled.
Secondly, Lin Ci can contain souls.
His ability, "Spirit Binding and Commanding," is a weapon specifically designed to target the soul.
Third, and most importantly, the craziest point.
The souls he takes in can gain half of his power.
This is not borrowing.
Instead, they own it directly.
Liang Bing's eyes grew brighter and brighter, to a frightening degree.
What she pursued throughout her life.
