Wilt!

Die!

Death!

With the seizure of the life energy that sustains this living forest, all the plants have come to an end.

I saw that the original lush trees, the vines that were wrapped around the branches, were disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in their place was a lifeless land that exuded a disgusting smell of decay.

In particular, the pain and resentment of the inhabitants who once died in the city quickly regained their freedom from the state of repression, and unleashed the anger that had been suppressed for thousands of years.

Tens of thousands of ghosts glowing green, and there is no end to the army of the undead made of white skeletons.

I'm afraid that if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, no one would have believed that a forest full of green life would become what it is now in less than half an hour.

Not even the scorching sunlight shining directly from the sky could dispel the extremely thick black mist over the forest.

But just as the death fog spread bigger and bigger, almost enveloping the entire area covered by the original forest, it was never able to get close to the red double helix vine in the center of the forest.

However, this microsecond balance did not last long, and when the first leaf at the top of the vine began to wither and slowly fall, a surging energy suddenly gushed out from the roots, sweeping everything within a radius of tens of kilometers.

Whether it is the resentment from the deceased, or the rich negative energy that even the scorching sun can't dispel, it will eventually disappear without a trace.

Moreover, in the process of energy release, a large amount of soil and sand and gravel on the ground are taken away, so that the buildings and monuments that have been buried for thousands of years under their feet are all revealed without exception.

In particular, the exquisite large library, instead of being damaged in the slightest, the main stone absorbs a part of the energy and shows brilliance under the sunlight.

Of course, these drastic changes in the surrounding scenery and environment are far from the transformation of the boy's life level.

......

Sunrise and sunset, accompanied by the continuous alternation of day and night, more than ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

When Luke opened his eyes again, the red double helix-shaped vine in front of him had turned into some kind of translucent crystal, which turned into dust and drifted away with the wind at the slightest touch.

"It feels...... I can't describe it in words......" The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a smile of joy.

There's no way not to rejoice!

Because at this moment, the world in his eyes is completely different from before, and even the traces of life left in the land and air can be clearly distinguished without exception.

As for the "cocoon" on his hand, the surface has lost the entanglement of countless red silk threads, turning into a smooth oval gem.

But it is obviously not a gemstone in the ordinary sense, but a large amount of life energy that has not been completely absorbed and contains all kinds of impurities.

Although it is no longer of much use to Luke, it is still a treasure that can change their fate for mortals who are still struggling to survive.

Of course, the most important thing is that it also stores a mutilated, self-aware soul inside, which, once discarded at will, will not be long before it will be resurrected again.

Staring at the crystals as dazzling as the stars in his hands, Luke couldn't help but smile and mutter, "What should I do with you?"

There is no doubt that he did not intend to fulfill his "promise" from the beginning, let alone care about the "curse" or "retribution" that might be triggered by breaking his oath.

After all, these things are only mental narcotics used by the weak to comfort themselves, a desperate scream of cowardice and impotence, a hysterical emotional vent, and there is no other meaning.

"Life, what an interesting and complex thing. It is both fragile and strong, full of infinite possibilities. Maybe...... I should give you a chance to see what kind of fruit that strong attachment can bear in the end. ”

As he spoke, Luke picked up the tattered bionic golem from the ground and shoved the crimson crystals into it.

Next Second......

The withered and dead red threads were restored to their original state in less than a second, drawing energy from the crystals with hunger and thirst.

In less than a minute, the dilapidated puppet stumbled back to its feet, its eyes radiating the joy of resurrection.

Feeling the abundant energy provided by the life core, it raised its head and asked in a tone of uncertainty that was not very sure, "What have you done to me?"

"It's nothing! I just left you with something I didn't need. Now, you are free to do whatever you want. Luke replied as he walked towards the main entrance, which was already exposed, the Great Library.

Thanks to the special stone, this ancient building was not damaged too much, and even some of the protective spells were activated under the impact of energy.

"What about my soul, you promised to help me complete my missing soul!" the golem jumped to its feet and blocked the only entrance to the Great Library.

"Hehe, are you sure you want me to help you complete your broken soul?" do you know what it means to mend your soul?" Luke paused and threw out two extremely serious questions.

The puppet shook his head thoughtlessly: "I don't know, and I don't want to know." I just want to be a whole soul and become a real being. It's your promise, and now it's time to keep it. ”

"Stupid! The completion of the soul means that from the moment you were born to the self-consciousness, all your memories, emotions, and personality will disappear and you will be replaced by a completely different you. In a way, if you complete your soul it is the same as killing you and creating a more perfect you. Tell me, even then do you have to choose to complete the broken soul?" Luke asked loudly with a sneer.

It's not that he's scaring the other party, but the knowledge he has so far can only go so far.

As for the more complex and esoteric secrets of the soul, he has not yet come into contact with them.

"No!! you're lying to me! Kill you! Kill you!"

The puppet undoubtedly did not change its personality and way of acting because it gained a more powerful "heart".

It is completely unthinkable, and the only way to resolve the conflict is to kill and take.

This, coupled with the fact that the "heart" provides hundreds of times more energy than before, leads it to the illusion that it can already defeat the boy.

As a result, after roaring, it quickly infused its life energy into its limbs, causing it to produce an effect similar to a gushing air current, and directly pounced on Luke at lightning speed.
