#353 - Chapter 353 The Soul Being Contested
Just as Wu Wei was upgrading his Lord skills, the troll Titus, far away in another plane, was caught in a different kind of trouble.
However, his trouble and Wu Wei's trouble had one small difference.
That was, in the eyes of the Abyssal Gods, his soul was actually a hot commodity!
————————
“This troll's soul is mine!”
“After all, he looks exactly like me, so it's very reasonable for him to become my servant!”
In a dark and deep subspace area, an Abyssal God, as thin as a bamboo pole, covered in terrifying bone spurs, but without a trace of flesh and blood, said so.
As this god covered in bone spurs spoke, he stretched his terrifying hand towards the soul of the troll Titus.
But unfortunately, before his hand could touch Titus's soul, it was forcibly interrupted by another god.
A god whose left hand had become a sword, right hand a fire gun, head a giant cannon, and hair composed of bullets and grenades, forcefully knocked away the restless hand, then snorted coldly.
“Hmph!”
“Don't you even look at your ghostly appearance, saying you look exactly alike, how can you even say that?”
“Hey, kid!”
“Don't believe his words!”
“Believe in me, believe in the great [Weapon Master]!”
“As long as you are willing to become my servant, then I can grant you mastery of all the weapons in this world!”
“Even if you are holding a frozen tilapia, I can instantly turn you into a Sword Saint!”
“So, serve me, and make a contract with me....”
Just as the Weapon Master was placing a contract in front of the troll Titus with a “smile” on his face, a pair of huge iron fists flew over from nearby, smashing him away.
A terrifying god made entirely of liquid metal took his place, standing in front of the soul of the troll Titus.
But before he could even open his mouth, he was pulled away by the other gods.
In an instant, due to the gods' scramble, the entire subspace area was in complete chaos.
Every god was vying to sign a contract with the troll Titus, even resorting to fighting.
And the troll Titus, the “protagonist,” was naturally completely dumbfounded in the face of such a chaotic scene.
But this is not something difficult to understand.
Because putting ourselves in the troll Titus's shoes is equivalent to:
A normal person's soul suddenly leaving their body, then arriving at an extremely strange space filled with unspeakable things.
And in this terrifying space, there are thousands upon thousands of可怕 monsters, fighting and killing each other.
Even more terrifying is that the things these可怕 monsters are fighting over are actually their own soul.
How could one not be afraid?
It is especially important to note that the troll Titus is not an ordinary person, but a genuine demigod, even a demigod at his peak.
With such keen senses, he definitely understands better than ordinary people just how terrifying these monsters are in essence.
“I smell your fear, but thankfully, you are only afraid and have not lost your mind.”
“I was worried that once you went crazy, how would I explain it to the Lord.”
Just as the troll Titus was still panicking, a somewhat uninteresting female voice sounded from beside the troll Titus's soul.
It was the Fallen Angel Liz!
The moment he saw the Fallen Angel Liz appear, the troll Titus grabbed her like a lifeline and quickly said.
“Where is this?”
“And who are they?”
“Why are they fighting over my soul?”
Faced with the troll Titus's question, Liz replied coldly.
“This is a subspace plane independent of ordinary dimensions, but connected to all endless abyss planes.”
“And they, as you call them, are the Abyssal Gods who live in this space.”
“As for why they want to fight over your soul, I guess it's because your soul is special.”
“Special?”
“Yes, you have a small amount of divine aura from the real world.”
“This divine aura comes from the silver hair used to save your life, nothing special.”
“But this kind of divine aura, in the eyes of the gods present, is no different from D-grade goods.”
“Through these auras, these non-real creatures can obtain a very brief sense of reality.”
“This is the real reason they want to fight over your soul.”
“I see....”
After listening to the Fallen Angel Liz's explanation, the fear in the troll Titus's heart disappeared a lot.
Thankfully, it's not that kind of “hot commodity.”
But then, he remembered the most important thing.
“But, I came here to seek the power to avenge myself.”
“But in this situation, what should I do?”
To be honest, the troll Titus did not expect to encounter such a thing after becoming a follower of the Abyssal Cult.
Originally, he thought that the way he would gain power would be similar to [Divine Descent].
But he didn't expect that Divine Descent was indeed Divine Descent, but they were all evil gods.
For a moment, he felt that he might completely lose his soul.
But fortunately, the Fallen Angel Liz appeared in time and explained the difference between Abyssal God's blessing and ordinary Divine Descent, dispelling his doubts.
As for the question of what to do, the Fallen Angel Liz said somewhat relaxedly.
“Isn't this problem even simpler?”
“You can choose a god that looks pleasing to the eye and become his servant.”
“He will create a rift in your sea of mind, and then use this gap to grant you a part of his power.”
“Or, you can choose to become servants of several gods at the same time, and obtain the blessings of several of them in a dynamically balanced way.”
“Titus, the things you are considering are too complicated.”
“And the endless abyss hates complexity!”
“This is the first thing you need to adapt to after becoming a follower of the Abyssal Cult.”
Hearing this, the troll Titus's soul nodded.
“Okay, I understand.”
But just as Titus was ready to choose a god to receive a blessing.
The Fallen Angel Liz behind him suddenly stopped him.
“Wait a minute, Titus.”
“What's wrong?”
“I think, you don't have to rush into making a deal and becoming a servant of a god.”
“Why.”
“Because I suddenly had a good idea!”
Looking at the gods fighting in the distance, the Fallen Angel quietly showed an evil smile.
“Do you want to try becoming one of the few [Living Anchors] in the abyss?”
“Because by doing so, you can not only better complete your revenge.”
“Moreover, you can also obtain power that is far more powerful than relying on a god!”
For some reason, the troll Titus suddenly felt that the Fallen Angel in front of him seemed to be plotting against him.
