Soul Of Negary

Chapter 169: Vol2 Ch67: Exhausted feeble ones, crawl under my foot

It had been quite a long time since Negary last used his interference force. After all, his soul quality had stagnated and stayed around the peak of first stage release at most, it was nowhere near as powerful as Disasforce.

However, Negary’s research regarding interference force had never stopped, as interference force was the true power derived from his soul.

The most basic manifestation of interference force was similar to telekinesis, capable of interacting with other objects like an extra limb detached from one’s body.

But if the interference force was slightly altered, it could also manifest as mental power capable of affecting other people’s minds and creating illusions.

Furthermore, if his interference force grew strong enough, he would even be able to alter reality like Aldridge did, manifesting his own domain as something like [Seal of the Empire].

While Negary’s own interference force was weak, he actually had a huge amount of resources that he could utilize.

As the infected zone grew larger and larger, more and more people were becoming Spiritual Inception practitioners. What was originally three million people had grown to be ten million people, over two hundred thousand of whom had already released the first stage of their [Origin].

All of these people were infected by Negary’s soul virus, forming a connection with him. When necessary, Negary could use this connection to take these people’s Soul Essence and replenish himself.

With the aid of two hundred thousand people’s worth of Soul Essence, even if Negary’s soul couldn’t qualitatively grow to the second stage of release, he was still able to gain immense power through the sheer quantity of Soul Essence.

However, Negary didn’t do that, he merely took a relatively minuscule amount of Soul Essence from these people in order to sustain his own expenditures.

If Negary truly let himself go and absorbed all of the Soul Essence, he might be able to gain immense power, or perhaps even use sheer quantity to induce a qualitative change, but the Negary of that time might just become a completely irrational being.

The Soul Essence of humans contained information, memory, emotion, experience; and the Soul Essence that Negary absorbed would always require careful selection to make sure that the next would always be better than the last.

Furthermore, the majority of people in this world were under the influence of ‘destiny’. They were all limited within it, greatly influenced by it; for some, even their thought process was under the guidance of ‘destiny’.

If Negary arbitrarily absorbed Soul Essence, he would be easily caught by that ‘destiny’ and become a pawn for it to control.

At the same time, having such a huge amount of resources and not putting it to use was a waste, which resulted in today’s plan, the Omniscient Eye.

This giant eyeball contained a device that Negary created for the sake of storing Soul Essence, the inside of which was full of memories, thoughts, and emotions. A normal person coming into contact with even a little bit of this would instantly become schizophrenic and thoroughly go insane.

Since it was impossible to utilize this massive Soul Essence in a normal way, Negary turned it into a giant interference force derivation machine. By using the glass lens as the point of focus, the chaotic information contained within the Soul Essence would be channeled and manifest as an imaginary illusion domain.

Combined with the wild grass that had grown even taller than a normal person, this unique illusory domain was created.

And everyone in the area was instantly pulled into the illusory domain.

Negary was the owner of this illusory domain, although he didn’t fully create this through his own interference force, thanks to his connection with the Omniscient Eye, Negary held a unique authority: he had the ability of ‘true sight’, as well as being able to see his illusory self.

Within the illusory domain, channeled by the chaotic information, Negary had taken the appearance of a large spider, with the only difference being the spider’s head had been replaced by his upper body.

At the same time, the tall grass within the area had grown unimaginably tall, as if everyone had truly been turned into insects.

At the same time, the D.E.R division people caught within the illusion had their senses affected by the domain. They now saw themselves as fat green caterpillars with their own respective faces.

〖 So, this illusion was manifested from the combination of passive ‘herbivore’ beliefs, the wish to always be sated until death, the dissatisfaction with the status quo, together with the grassy terrain within this area? 〗through the Omniscient Eye, Negary had an overall view of this illusion’s composition.

The core idea of this illusion was: If this world was full of things to eat, then there would be no need to work and no conflict to be had.

This thought manifested in the illusory domain, turning everyone into grass-eating worms who slept around their food of choice, just by opening your eyes you could see ample food to be consumed, if you happened to consume everything in front of yourself, just turn around to see even more food.

〖 If I have the ability to, I should construct a biological supercomputer to manage the chaotic information within the Omniscient Eye’s Soul Essence, the information currently being channeled through the illusory domain is nothing but random chaotic noise 〗

〖 With management, all of this information can be used for my own benefit, creating a single centralized human databank, this huge amount of interference force would also be usable in more ways 〗

Negary shook his head. That level of biological supercomputer was nothing but an idea, a theory; one that would require a lot of effort in order to create.

Right now, his illusory domain’s main use was to further research the use of Fang Ze’s Protagonist role, as well as the way ‘destiny’ would alter reality to correct its script. This would serve to aid Negary’s escape from the course of ‘destiny’.

…

“Damn it, this grass smells so good, I feel an impulse to eat it” where the worms were gathered, there was a blotch of dew barely stuck to a huge leaf that dangled right in front of the worm with Lu Tong’s face. His human instincts were doing its very best to suppress this impulse as his body anxiously wiggled.

“Can everyone still use their abilities?” Fang Ze frowned.

Earlier, he had just borrowed He Qiao’s ability to greatly promote the growth of the entire residential district’s grass; but now, even as he tried to use that power, he couldn’t sense anything happening at all. Not to mention, he had been turned into a ridiculous worm.

“Did we actually turn into worms?” Xiao Ba Fu tried exercising his [Bone Fracture] Authority, only to see a big wound abruptly burst open on Zhang Zi Jie’s fat body right next to him, some liquid spilling out.

“Please don’t try and use any abilities for now, and don’t move either” Chang Xia hurriedly called out, stopping Fang Ze from trying to act.

Chang Xia’s body wiggled a bit, instinctively wanting to push his glasses up, but only ended up with him wiggling his body twice. After realizing this, he could only give up on that idea and told everyone:

“We haven’t actually been turned into worms, only our senses have been warped to manifest this absurd illusion”

“Most likely, we’re still right where we were before, wiggling our worm bodies would only end up as our real bodies crawling on the ground. The smell of grass being alluring is nothing but our senses being fooled”

“Even if we don’t sense our abilities activating in this place, that doesn’t mean that we aren’t actually using them. A single careless eruption of Disasforce is enough to completely wipe us out while we are unprotected”

“For that reason, we’d better use Disasforce only to protect ourselves using our muscle memory and nothing else”

Chang Xia concluded his analysis:

“However, if we can’t escape this state of distorted perception, we will run into danger very soon”
