Chapter 146

Chang Xia’s sudden movements caused the two behind him to feel shocked, why did their chief suddenly try to slit his throat in suicide?

Chang Xia’s body abruptly turned around, stepped forward and thrust his blade into the area just behind the three of them . With a wave of distortion in the air, Luo Ping who was dressed in D . E . R division uniform was forced to come out of hiding .

“The [Suicide] Authority?” Chang Xia’s gaze was cold as he glared at Luo Ping, quickly confirming the other party’s identity: “The 7th domain’s Disaster Team captain, so you’ve infiltrated this deeply”

“I couldn’t help myself as I saw you, traitor” Luo Ping no longer kept up his formulaic appearance . He lost his family during the Yue Bu earthquake, thus driving him to consider committing suicide, after which he obtained the Disaster Authority [Suicide] .

“You’re calling me a traitor?” Chang Xia was a bit surprised: “How accurate”

“You—” Luo Ping couldn’t contain his emotions any longer as Disasforce started to surge from his body .

Wielding the long blade in his hand, Chang Xia suddenly started to exude Disasforce from his body, then asked in an almost sighing tone: “Do you know who inherited Yu Guang Ming’s [Earthquake] Authority after the events of that time?”

Luo Ping’s eyes opened wide in shock .

…

〖 Is there no one here? 〗Negary was currently walking along the small island at the very center of the lake . Through his field of perception, he soon discovered a hidden path .

Through this path, Negary came to a place that appeared to be a natural underground cave . The ground of the cave was full of rubble, there was an altar with unknown runes carved all over it at the very center . The altar was full of cracks, there was even an empty hole right at the middle of it .

There were marks and cracks left behind by an earthquake all over this cave, in fact, one other hidden path that led into this cave was actually made from modifying a particularly large crack .

「 Greetings, the Lord of Aberration 」a gentle voice suddenly resounded, causing Negary to feel surprised .

Although this world had the unscientific power of Disaster Authorities, the majority of their supernatural capabilities came from Disasforce, which was unable to hide from Negary’s field of perception .

〖 Who would’ve thought, this world still had someone of your caliber residing in it 〗Negary turned around to see the man who rose from inside the altar .

It was a man with a gentle smile on his face, as soon as you saw him, you’d feel inclined to find him trustworthy before anything else .

〖 Yu Guang Ming? 〗Negary doubtfully questioned . The man who appeared from the altar was none other than the person responsible for one of the greatest calamities of the modern era . Even now, his face could be found depicted in any modern history book .

What caused Negary’s surprise was Yu Guang Ming’s current state . He had no body and instead appeared in front of Negary as a soul . At the same time, his soul’s quality far surpassed Negary’s own, causing him to be unable to see through him .

〖 If such a person had an Authority, would there actually be anyone capable of stopping him if he truly wanted to promote himself to become a Disaster King? 〗

Aside from a few peculiar entities, all supernatural abilities of this world were derived from Disasforce . For this reason, an Authority Holder might have a slightly stronger soul than a normal person, but not to the point of reaching the first stage of release .

Even Ye Kong from the previous incident only managed to release his own [Origin] through pure coincidence, but due to the lack of common sense, he directly underwent Origin Assimilation .

But now, suddenly seeing an entity that went completely against the established common sense, Negary indeed felt nothing but shock .

「 I am Yu Guang Ming, but not the Yu Guang Ming that you know of 」Yu Guang Ming answered very incoherently: 「 I am only the guide to destiny, Lord of Aberration 」

〖 Is that title referring to me? 〗Negary didn’t mind that title too much, aberration had the meaning of abnormal, incorrect, distortion; which fit some of Negary’s characteristics .

「 Indeed, that is how your excellency was referred to within the Apocalypse Stone Tablet 」Yu Guang Ming answered him directly: 「 And it was thanks to the existence of the Lord of Aberration that I was able to appear on this world 」

〖 This world…〗Negary took note of Yu Guang Ming’s words and quickly came up with many conjectures .

「 Who would’ve thought, it was little Xia that killed me this time 」Yu Guang Ming seemed to have noticed something . He still had the same gentle smile on his face, exuding the aura of a doting older brother, but the sense of sorrow he carried couldn’t be hidden at all .

〖 This time…〗Negary scowled, as if the other party had just said something very serious .

「 This is for you 」Yu Guang Ming regained his senses and secretly sent a mass of Soul Essence towards Negary . His technique was extremely intricate, as it allowed Negary to read the information contained inside without the need to absorb the Soul Essence .

And the information was exactly the goal of Negary’s trip: A copy of the Apocalypse Stone Tablet, in which some information of both the past and future was recorded .

[The Apocalypse approached, the Original Disaster created the Ten Disasters, and the Ten Disasters led to the end of the world]

[God distributed Authorities to all, granting hope]

They were the first two lines on the Apocalypse Stone Tablet, although the claims seemed weak, when you took the existence of Disaster Authorities into consideration, things became a lot more interesting .

「 So, Lord of Aberration, let us part here 」Yu Guang Ming’s figure slowly faded away, leaving a cluster of pure Soul Essence behind .

From the mass of Soul Essence that gave him the copy of the Apocalypse Stone Tablet, Negary was able to recognize that this cluster of pure Soul Essence was considered an ‘error’ of this world, if he was able to absorb and incorporate it into the Dragon of Eternal Sin form, it would greatly benefit it .

Other than that, even if he didn’t fuse it with the Dragon of Eternal Sin, absorbing such a huge amount of pure Soul Essence into his soul would surely allow him to break through the limit of the first stage of release, perhaps even entering the next level .

At the same time, this cluster of Soul Essence was quickly dissipating into nothingness, heading somewhere unknown . The ever-decreasing Soul Essence almost seemed to be urging Negary to make his decision .

〖 All of this is a bit above my expectations 〗Negary observed the disappearing cluster of Soul Essence 〖 If I choose to absorb it and there are any hidden schemes against me, due to the vast difference in power, I would not be able to recognize it 〗

〖 At the same time, driving me to not accept this might also be a part of his goal 〗Negary continued to watch the Soul Essence disappear . Although they were polar opposites, the way this Soul Essence was disappearing seemed very similar to how Disasforce manifested .

〖 Perhaps, this is the true essence of Disasforce 〗Negary already had his suspicions, but only now was he able to confirm it: In reality, Disasforce was a different manifestation of interference force .

〖 Then perhaps, somewhere on this world, there is an unimaginably gigantic soul that is supplying Disasforce to all Authority Holders 〗

After his conjectures and thoughts, Negary decided to let the mass of pure Soul Essence disappear, keeping only the Soul Essence that contained the copy of the Apocalypse Stone Tablet .

〖 Perhaps, I may have found one possibility of where the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon vanished to 〗while carefully reading and interpreting the information on the Apocalypse Stone Tablet, he expressed a bit of doubt regarding his guess .
