Chapter 1128: Chapter 1128
The White Wolf whispered in Rod’s ear: "Asking the Evil Soul for help requires a cost. We’ve used the Soul Holy Grail twice without paying the corresponding price, so the Holy Grail has begun a backlash."
Rod asked in surprise, "Why not pay?"
"Because the cost is to expend a large amount of Spirituality. If it’s not feasible, then a live sacrifice is required. We initially didn’t plan to pay, but the curse from the backlash is stronger than anticipated, and Lord Horus is having difficulty holding on."
Rod instantly understood the situation, glanced at the millions of Spirituality in the Dream Realm, and smiled: "Perhaps I can solve this matter."
The White Wolf looked at him in astonishment: "How can you do that? I remind you, the Royal City absolutely forbids live sacrifices, even for criminals."
"Lord Luo Weiya, Lord Horus, how much Spirituality does the Soul Holy Grail require?"
Luo Weiya looked at him in surprise: "What do you intend to do? Replace it with your Spirituality? That’s absolutely impossible; you are our star of hope, and you must not suffer any damage from this. The Soul Holy Grail’s issue isn’t severe. At worst, I’ll simply destroy the Holy Grail directly, so there’s no need to worry."
The White Wolf calmly said, "Lord Luo Weiya, you’re not right. Creating an empty Holy Grail requires two portions of Mountain Heart and many rare materials. Currently, the Royal City can barely make another Holy Grail."
Luo Weiya said unhappily: "Vimier, don’t speak the truth out loud. The Holy Grail isn’t a problem and won’t affect the situation at all..."
Horus unexpectedly interrupted him.
Luo Weiya hesitated for a moment but handed over the Holy Grail:
"Alright, give it a try. The Holy Grail requires about 10,000 Spirituality... of course, that’s impossible, the Evil Soul is asking for an outrageous price, and it’s uncertain whether the entire Royal City’s stock even has 10,000 worth, but you can use some substitutes... if you have them, just throw them into the cup opening of the Holy Grail."
Rod took the Holy Grail and placed his left hand on the cup opening.
With a thought, 10,000 Spirituality gushed out, pouring straight into the Holy Grail’s mouth.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the Holy Grail was filled to the brim, with some white Spirituality even overflowing.
Luo Weiya’s mouth was agape, almost wide enough to swallow the Holy Grail whole:
"You, how did you... what substitute did you use? Can you tell me? No, that’s real Spirituality!"
He tasted a bit to confirm.
"Yes, it’s standard Spirituality. How did you gather so much?"
Rod casually replied: "It’s my Fire Spark ability, which allows me to draw Spirituality from monsters."
Luo Weiya sighed with relief: "As long as it’s not yours..."
Before he finished speaking, black mist began to fill the Holy Grail, and a gigantic soul emerged from within.
It was a purple-black shade, like a bloated corpse with no facial features, only a massive mouth full of sharp teeth in the hollow of its abdomen.
"Humans." This update ıs available on novęlfire.net
The freshly released Evil Soul laughed maniacally.
"Have you finally decided to succumb? Not adhering to the spirit of the contract is a no-go; your greed will ultimately lead to your destruction, hahahahaha... 10,000 Spirituality, how many have you killed?"
However, the intensely sarcastic Evil Soul noticed that the surrounding people were not moved and even looked at him as if he were foolish.
"Hehehe, it seems things aren’t as I thought... okay, you win this time, let’s go another round. What would you like to know?"
Rod remained silent, merely awakening Asa within his soul.
"Asa, take a look, is that Evil Soul the Ancient Evil Thought?"
He shared his view with him.
Following Rod’s gaze, Asa immediately burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, indeed, it’s the Ancient Evil Thought, a pitiful creature named Ab. Too pitiful, master, let me devour him quickly."
Rod restrained his impulsive behavior and said to the Evil Soul: "Are you sure I can help Qingyu?"
Luo Weiya urgently shouted: "Don’t ask it that way!"
But it was too late; the Evil Soul laughed maniacally: "Is that your question, mortal?"
"Alright, I answer you, certainly."
The Evil Soul hovered in mid-air, opened its massive mouth on its belly, and laughed maniacally.
"Those two words are worth 5,000 Spirituality."
Rod nodded: "Alright, can I ask another question?"
The Evil Soul glanced at him in surprise, then burst into laughter again: "Of course you can."
Luo Weiya hurriedly said: "Rod, don’t ask, his answer might not be valuable..."
"Which direction should Trolian expand first?"
"This question needs 10,000 Spirituality."
"Southwest." The Evil Soul answered with a smile, looking at him expectantly.
Rod asked again: "Is there any way to rapidly enhance the overall strength of the Trolian Kingdom?"
"This question needs 100,000 Spirituality."
"Contract established." The Evil Soul’s smile widened, "The answer is Star Source, the power from the Stars, and the Sun, Moon, and Stars represent the world’s most primal Source."
"Where is the most Star Source?"
"500,000 Spirituality."
"This is a new question, 500,000 Spirituality."
"The Horror Castle is in the farthest land."
The Evil Soul shook its head: "You can’t ask more now."
The Evil Soul opened its gaping mouth and laughed maniacally: "Unless you repay the debt!"
The Evil Soul looked at him greedily. It sniffed a strong Spirituality scent from him.
Yet, what awaited it wasn’t boundless Spirituality, but a murky yellow shadow.
Asa descended onto the Wind’s Phantom and lunged forward, chomping onto the Evil Soul.
"What? What are you doing?"
The Evil Soul screamed shrilly.
"The contract, the spirit of the contract?"
The ancient battle of evil thoughts began in an instant, with Asa paying no attention to what it was saying, simply feasting on its soul.
The Evil Soul screamed in his soul: "You, you are also an Ancient Evil Thought? Why, why do you obey a human?"
Asa didn’t respond, entangled in an evil struggle, and quickly gained the upper hand.
"Aaaaah, why? Why is this happening? Aren’t you afraid of the Supreme Will? You’ve violated the God’s Law! Do you know that?"
Asa only gave one word in return.
He intensified his biting.
The Evil Soul retreated, unable to resist.
Facing this overpowering evil thought that defeated and devoured Amon, it had little resistance.
Soon, amid its stark wails, the Evil Soul dissolved completely.
Asa laughed wildly: "Hahahaha, I..."
Rod forcibly disbanded the phantom, sending Asa back to the Dream Realm.
All of this was witnessed by Horus, Luo Weiya, White Wolf, Molly, and many Fire Priests.
In their view, after the yellow shadow bit the Evil Soul, it remained still.
Before long, the Evil Soul dissipated by itself.
The blackness on the Soul Holy Grail gradually peeled away, and the burnt section of Horus’s hand was also regenerating.
Luo Weiya murmured: "The Evil Soul, has dissipated... the Holy Grail has returned to its primitive state."
Suddenly, he snapped out of it, hugging Rod tightly.
"Just as expected of you!"
"Hahahaha, just as expected of you, you truly are our hope! Able to solve any trouble!"
Molly clapped behind him, adding a bit of atmosphere.
Horus, however, looked serious and asked coldly: "Rod, what was that yellow phantom? Why could I feel a strong aura of evil, some of which is quite like that of the Doomsday believers?"
Rod hadn’t thought of how to reply when Luo Weiya spoke.
"Horus, what are you talking about? I won’t allow you to doubt him. This is one of young Rod’s Fire Spark abilities. What evil aura, has your nose gone bad? Besides, to deal with things like the Evil Soul, you need a bit of ferocity, don’t you?"
Horus said solemnly: "Lord Luo Weiya, I’m not questioning Rod, it’s just a precaution, in case another Ancient Evil Thought like Amon appears."
Luo Weiya sneered: "Rod can’t be controlled, and he certainly won’t be involved with the Doomsday believers. I trust him unconditionally, and so should you, Horus."
Luo Weiya patted the empty Holy Grail with a smile:
"This is great, an empty Holy Grail. This time, I must choose a good host."
Within the soul, Asa gave a satisfied belch and said lazily: "Master, I need to digest again. This evil thought isn’t as much as Amon, but it’s enough to last me a while."
