62, despair (end)
As the dean and the second most powerful Victor in the Tower, he has enough authority to make his laboratory independent of the Tower's monitoring system, and everything that happens in his laboratory is not transmitted to the monitoring system in the first place, but to be notified first.
When the alarm sounded in the laboratory, Dean Victor instantly came to Adam's face, stretched out his hand and lightly touched Adam's suspended naked body, and the projection of the soul sea appeared in front of him.
The observation instruments in Dean Victor's laboratory recorded all the changes that had occurred in Adam's soul, and this data was of great value for studying alienated souls and mutated creatures, which was why he tolerated Adam's survival.
Time has different criteria for different frames of reference, and for a powerhouse of Master Victor's level, he has already mastered the relative time based on himself, so time in a broad sense is no longer of much significance, and he has infinite patience to wait for the outcome of anything he is interested in.
For the current Adam, time and all objective factors in the outside world have been abandoned by him, and he has even abandoned his own reason, and only fights for soul sovereignty with desperate monsters.
At first, this kind of competition was distinct, and the two monsters continued to tear information from each other to fill and strengthen themselves, but later, the competition began to become unclear, and the two monsters had a tendency to merge.
What is now unfolding in front of Dean Victor's eyes is such an evil scene, the bodies of the two monsters are fused together, only the heads can distinguish the number, they are still biting each other, and one of the heads has fallen into absolute inferiority, and it is about to be completely devoured by the other.
"What will it become? Relying on desperation to ascend to the path of ancient magic, becoming an anti-mage, or being destroyed?" said to himself, mage Victor stood aside, muttering to himself, and quietly awaiting the final result.
The competition between the two monsters is not that one wants reason and the other wants to destroy reason, their purpose is exactly the same, they both want to make themselves the leader of this soul to show despair, in the idea of Master Victor, if no miracle happens, no matter who wins, Adam's 'existence' will not be allowed to be mainstream.
About five hours later, one head ripped the last of the message from the other, and the final victory was achieved.
Adam's soul became a monster of despair and began to pervert.
The distortion and chaos have never been as clear and clear as they are now, this perversion has even affected the body, in front of Master Victor, Adam's body has changed from withered to plump, almost black dark gray began to diffuse out, and the strength of his soul has become more and more intense, gradually surpassing the critical point of apprenticeship and climbing to the level of mage.
Master Victor didn't stop this process, he wanted to see the final result, because no matter whether Adam was promoted or mutated or not, the mere level of life could be crushed like an ant in front of him.
The rich gray escaped from Adam's soul and entered his mind, and in every cell and pore, a higher level of energy rapidly elevated Adam's life essence, and this energy was so brutal that it tore through the laboratory's shackles on Adam in an instant.
Adam levitated out of thin air, and after a roar, his soul overflowed from the Celestial Spirit Cover, constantly radiating a breath of despair around him.
Dean Victor shook his head regretfully: "I actually really completed the promotion with a piece of magic, such a talent is really terrifying." Unfortunately, this path is not tolerated. "The advancement of ancient magic will be completely completed after the soul is completely separated from the body to absorb the ether and then replenish the body, and now this situation is irreversible. Just when he wanted to completely destroy Adam's 'existence', a mutation occurred.
The overflowing soul was dragged back to the soul sea by a weak but tenacious and clear energy, and the comprehensive transformation of the body was forcibly stopped, and the cells and body tissues that had been transformed by the negative energy were cut off by this energy and excreted through the pores.
It's really an unbearable pain.
Master Victor was stunned and stopped his obliteration action, with his knowledge, he didn't expect such a thing to happen, forcibly stop the promotion?
"The transformation of the body can be stopped, but what about the soul?" said Master Victor.
Once again, the curtain of light appeared, revealing an astonishing scene in Adam's soul.
A little spiritual light swayed from the gray desperate soul, the light was faint but unparalleled firmness, and under the light of this glimmer, the gray desperate aura was like meeting a natural enemy.
This is the power of Adam's faith, the positive power that he has learned from despair after despair to get rid of despair and overcome despair.
When his beliefs in benevolence, blood, loyalty, justice, and valor were defeated in the face of despair, he instead realized the way to overcome despair.
It's about never giving up.
Adam crystallized the concept of despair, and came to the conclusion that despair is nothing more than countless attempts without hope, and that despair can be overcome as long as you ignore it, as long as you keep looking for new directions and working on it, with the belief that you will never give up.
The light rose into the sea of souls, the gray faded like a tide, and the message of despair in the soul wavered uneasily, terrifying the weak but powerful faith.
The light fell back into the soul, and the gray breath was like frost and dew illuminated by the sun, melting little by little, and being forced out little by little.
Master Victor actually clapped his hands in admiration: "Amazing wisdom, amazing faith, but your soul has fallen to the level, how can you completely remove the negative energy?"
Indeed, although the negative energy was forced out of the soul, it still stayed in the soul sea, and Adam's life essence also fell into the realm, and he had no ability to clean them up in the face of the formal level of energy, and the situation seemed to be back to the beginning.
When Adam once again took possession of his soul, he couldn't help but let out a comfortable moan, stretching his broken body with him, and his hideous and twisted face also showed a comfortable expression, which looked very strange.
The soul's expression was neither solemn nor panicked, and although the current situation seemed to be in the same predicament as before, it was actually completely different.
It is no longer a magic emitted by Peter Orm, but has become a promotion energy that Adam voluntarily gave up, and its 'master' has changed from Peter Orm to Adam.
"Of course, my stuff should be controlled by me. Adam looked at the negative energy that was about to stir and calmly conveyed the message.
Energy is conserved, and in the mage plane, this law may be slightly wrong, but it cannot be completely contradictory, and since this energy can be absorbed by Adam, then it can certainly be absorbed by other things.
The rest of the human beings and creatures have no connection with Adam's soul, and they cannot and will not be willing to accept such inferior energy, but Adam still has a card that he originally regarded as waste, the devil, with the characteristics of the devil race, he will definitely easily receive this junk energy.
It doesn't matter if it's not enough to support pure will, life promotion, Adam just treats the devil like a garbage can.
Adam summoned the devil into the sea of souls, and for more than a year, the devil had been trembling in a crumbling thread, and he was terrified, and now when he saw Adam, he actually cried out, and then pounced on Adam.
"Master, master, you're alive, you're okay! Great, I don't have to die, I don't have to stay in that small place!"
Adam swept it aside with a kick, bound it by a contract, and then said to the devil, "Do you want to be stronger?"
The devil was stunned, this sounds like the devil should be the line, right?
It looked at Adam and then at the negative energy next to him, and instantly knew what Adam meant, and he struggled violently: "No, my master, if you can't do this, I'll die, I can't hold this energy, I'll explode." ”
Master Victor's eyes lit up, I see, devil?
Adam was unmoved: "You are a life of will, your promotion is based on negative energy and soul, and now there is an opportunity for you to evolve one step at a time, why should you refuse?"
Adam was completely lying to it, although it had lost its inheritance memory, it also knew that it was impossible for its promotion to rely on the energy that others had already refined. The devil struggled more violently, and it felt that Adam was constantly adjusting its consciousness frequency through the contract, so that its fluctuations and energy matched, "Master, I can't, I really can't, you think about other ways, I'm really going to die." ”
"Less!" Adam scrambled over the devil and shoved it into the negative energy.
The energy found an outlet, felt the soul breath of the same origin, and immediately rushed madly into the devil's will.
The devil let out a short, terrible howl, and the chaotic form was shattered and reorganized in an instant by the furious energy, and it was destroyed and reborn a thousand times in an instant.
The screams lasted only a second, and the devil was on the verge of being broken, and Adam passed on his soul power to the devil through a contract to help it stabilize its existence.
The energy outside is getting less and less, and the form of the devil is becoming more and more condensed, and there is a tendency to change from a pure will life to a substance.
Soon the energy completely entered the devil's body, and Adam threw it out of the soul sea as quickly as possible, and then took the initiative to cancel the master-servant contract.
"Clever way. Master Victor said appreciatively.
The purpose of breaking the contract was to sever the relationship between the negative energy and one's own soul, and to transfer everyone to the devil, and since then, this energy has no connection with Adam, but has completely become the power of the devil.
Adam's soul finally entered the body again, and suddenly a majestic feeling of weakness struck, and he couldn't help but sit on the ground.
