Soul of Negary

Chapter 274: Vol3 Ch74: The bell tolls

Translator: La0o9

A large volume of golden particles began flying into the air, then disappeared through various routes, these golden particles were Negary himself who had completed the improvement of Soul’s Blood.

One of the most crucial components of this modification was what he obtained from Chromie. Despite everything, Chromie was still the Protagonist of this world, thus having his own [Protagonist Aura]; in the previous world, having previously been a Protagonist himself, Negary was called ‘the disqualified king’.

In the beginning, when the will of the Moon Tree mentioned that Chromie had something Negary needed, it was actually referring to the data of Chromie’s [Protagonist Aura]. However, at the time, Chromie didn’t have any abilities of a Protagonist. On the contrary, he was in a state where he could lose his status as a Protagonist at any moment; it wasn’t until Chromie began experiencing various hardships and events that his [Protagonist Aura] slowly activated.

Each [Protagonist Aura] was tightly connected to the world it belonged to, and it was this connection that Negary needed. He had to selectively extract the data of this connection, then reconstruct his own soul structure.

His soul had now transformed into the huge volume of golden particles from before. These particles had the characteristics of a soul, but also the characteristics of germs. Despite manifesting as countless separate particles here, they were actually tightly connected through other aspects of reality.

Each of these particles was Negary, he was one, and he was myriads.

Following Negary’s transformation, the bodies of certain individuals of Lohr began to let out the sound of turning gears; the same thing was also happening to certain slumbering insects below the earth, with each of the black Gears turning golden, then transforming into particles.

The Gears he granted the humans of this world only constituted a small percentage of them all. At certain corners of the Moon Tree world, more and more Gears were undergoing the same conversions, each of them residing in a component of this world: the earth, the sea, the air, even the aspects themselves.

The Gears were individually turning, stimulating one another, forming close bonds with each other, then transforming themselves into golden particles that infected the world.

With a huge surge of information, Negary underwent an unprecedented sublimation.

Infect, understand, then manipulate!

The toll of a bell originated from the world itself then resounded throughout the entire globe.

The Cardinal abruptly awakened from his sleep, stirred by a nightmare. For the past few years, such occurrences had been getting more and more frequent.

From a theoretical perspective, as a priest of God, his soul should be under the protection of his God, undisturbed by any wicked entities, so nightmares were naturally impossible.

However, ever since he maintained his tacit understanding with the Hermit Order and allowed them to grow, nightmares started to become an inexorable part of his life.

In the nightmare, within that boundless darkness, he was constantly moving forward with a lamp in his hand. Where the light of the lamp couldn’t reach, he would consistently sense the squirming of ‘something’, as well as the sound of turning gears and the tolling of a bell.

Even with the bright lamp in his hand, he could not find his way out of the boundless darkness no matter how he moved forward, eventually becoming completely disoriented. Only when everything began to move around the darkness did he finally notice the environment he was in.

“My Lord, please grant me salvation” the Cardinal calmed himself, then prayed towards God through the runes constructed in his soul, continuously embracing the light and heat of his God, moving closer towards it.

A few days ago, their God had suddenly descended and performed a divine miracle. Although there weren’t any divine revelations, the sensation of the eternal, extreme scorching heat and light was self-evident. They were all able to more easily sense the existence of God, and that alone improved the faith of everyone in the church by a large margin.

However, the toll of the bell that originated from the world itself caused the Cardinal’s face to freeze over.

Starting from Lohr, the toll of the bell resounded in every direction, becoming more and more widespread, the sound also growing increasingly mystical.

...

The sun of Eternal Heat within the Sun Shadow’s Divine Altar slightly moved, apparently observing something. Its light flickered on and off a few times but eventually calmed down, returning to its glorious radiance. The vision of God was always long-term.

...

In the nearby Academic City, a certain old man hiding in his library looked up and carefully listened to the toll of this bell, muttering to himself: “Who the heck is this? Having the courage to cause such a huge commotion here...”

...

In a certain city, within a silent Divine Altar, there was a relatively compact female statue. Her expression was soft and gentle with a faint smile from the corner of her mouth, exuding warmth, not unlike that of one’s mother.

If not for the mass of greyish white tentacles below her torso, she would have been the perfect embodiment of human beauty.

This was one of the seven Righteous Gods, worshipped by the Half Life church, Life Bearer.

When the slowly resounding toll of the bell reached her, the smile at the corner of her mouth became even more gentle, if one was in a trance, they would even see some of the tentacles at her feet slightly squirming, followed by the leak of liquid and the presence of exuding life force.

...

At the same time, deep underneath the dark ocean crept an indescribably gigantic entity. ‘He’ had been continuously emanating a kind of soundwave through the seawater in every direction, but following the toll of the bell, the indescribable gigantic entity’s movement slightly ceased before continuing to move again, this time, the soundwaves ‘he’ gave off became a bit different.

...

Furthermore, a shadow traversing desolate lands; a gate residing at an unfathomable place; a woman under whose eye lay a single crimson tear; a rotten ‘thing’ residing in unseeable darkness; as well as various other monsters of all shapes and sizes all noticed that mystical toll of the bell. Some didn’t pay any attention to it, some reacted accordingly.

After so many years, they had already seen too many things to count. This occasion could be considered unique, but not to the point that they would react greatly to it, especially not when the other party was under the protection of that large ball of fire.

...

Negary had accumulated a significant amount prior to his sublimation, his knowledge alone far surpassed the majority of entities at the third stage of release. Until now, it was simply because his soul was insufficient to convert this knowledge into corresponding strength that he didn’t.

Right at this moment, information belonging to this world was all flowing into him, the golden particles had gotten increasingly more mystical. It soon broke through the level of the third stage of release, then continued to rise. Negary’s pathway had fully formed in the blink of an eye, reaching its peak instantly.

It could be said that if Negary could take the very next step, he would reach the level of the New Deity and Progenitor Dragon, perhaps not that much lacking compared to the seven Righteous Gods themselves.

At that time, Negary would gain the moniker of World Infector, becoming the most powerful Evil God of the Moon Tree world.

However, very wisely, Negary stopped. The Moon Tree world was the cattle farm of the seven Righteous Gods, containing too many traps to even count. If Negary only infected the outermost layer to extract the world’s Principles, thanks to Eternal Heat’s protection, that would still be within the limits of the seven Gods’ patience. Continuing from this point would only result in bringing trouble to himself, perhaps even leading to wasted efforts.

The various Principles of the world had been recorded by Negary, which would then be referenced with his previous knowledge, compiled, then adjusted accordingly. The Principles that could be observed from different perspectives would naturally be dissimilar. Even if Negary had observed the same scenery through his large volume of data, there was still a difference in observing something through a telescope and personally observing it up-close.

At the same time, Negary wouldn’t consider what he had observed so far as ‘truth’. There were surely plenty of traps laid by the seven Gods that he could fall in as soon as he wasn’t careful, so even if he wanted to break through to reach their level, it was best that he went to other worlds to do so.
