Chapter 357: Soul Association and Shaq's Remnant Soul

The Soul Society, an organization that suddenly rose like a comet in the middle of the Fighting Age, and set off a large number of wars on the continent of Ares for hundreds of years, showing its ambitions without scruples, and it was a terrible organization at the time.

The most terrifying thing about the organization of the Soul Society lies in its members - the king of the small and medium-sized vassal states, the big businessman of the rich side, the famous troubadour whose deeds are spread all over the world and whose influence among the common people is comparable to that of the king, the important minister general who has made remarkable achievements in politics or leads the army to defend one side, and the seven-star sage who is famous abroad and is admired by many magicians, who lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests, has not been born for many years, and the legend of only ten years ago is still being sung by the world......

Since the Soul Society appeared in the eyes of the world, it has never officially announced a complete list of core members of the organization, but in fact, every core member of this organization is quite famous. They can almost be regarded as standing in the front row or even the apex of their respective fields, and it is not an exaggeration to call them the pride of the heavens, but these people have gathered together without anyone knowing, established such an association with the name of "Soul", which has some unknown meaning, and began to launch their so-called war of conquest against the entire continent in the name of the organization.

Generals and kings allied themselves and waged wars, politicians and ministers provided all political aid to the war, great merchants provided money and supplies, troubadours and writers supported the war of aggression among the common people, and the master magicians and fighters acted as the ultimate thugs of the association, clearing the society of all the thorns in the side that stubbornly stood in their way.

In the heyday of the Soul Society, the area ruled by the members of this organization even included more than 90% of the territory of the current Northland Alliance's sphere of influence, nearly half of the Western Plains, a large area of the hilly inland in the northwest of the Eastern Continent, and a part of the southern part of the continent where the Holy Kingdom of Solan did not exist at that time...... Almost half of the land of the Arrès Continent was planted with the banner of the Soul Association painted with some gray fragments of unknown meaning at that time, if it weren't for the people in power of the entire continent and the powerhouses of the magic world and the fighting spirit world at that time to wake up and unite together in time to fight against the Soul Society, I am afraid that this mysterious association organization could really achieve the conquest and unification of the whole continent at that time.

Of course, in the end, the Conquest of the Soul Society ended in failure, but the mysterious Society and its members left behind several mysteries that have not been solved until now:

When and what kind of opportunity was the Soul Society established? What kind of charm did this association have that could make those big names who could be regarded as powerful on the mainland become die-hard members, and they were able to cooperate seamlessly in a sophisticated layout in just a few years, even though they had nothing to do with each other's lives before this? What did the Soul Society promise them, so that they would not hold back, or even die, to do their best for the so-called "conquest of the continent" of the Society, leaving no way back for themselves?

To this day, no one has been able to answer these mysteries in a reasonable way, and not even the monarch of a great power like Charles I has found any record of it in the secret history books of the royal family...... However, today, this huge puzzle, which can almost rank among the top five mysteries in the history of the mainland, was completely revealed by Heluo in front of their eyes.

“...... Miss Helo, do you mean ...... In fact, the members of the famous Soul Association did not gather together for the ambition of dominating the continent at all, but ...... They're all puppets controlled by the remnant of the demon god named Shaq?"

Charles I asked with a strong composure.

"Yes, exactly. ”

Harrow shook her tail, as the whistleblower, she was obviously much calmer than Charles I, and of course, it could not be ruled out that this virtuous wolf was deliberately trying to create such an understatement to puncture the shocking case, so as to better satisfy her bad taste of pretending to be X...... This is malicious speculation from a wolf girl who is also in the position of the person who was exposed.

"The body of the Soul Association is actually the remnants of the souls left behind by Shaq who have independent consciousness but retain an inexplicable connection with each other. At that time, no one could have imagined in advance that there would be such beings who would be able to occupy the bodies of others by replacing their souls. Even because the remnant souls' ability to replace souls comes from the mutated law power of the eighth-order demon god Shak, even some seventh-order powerhouses who have just been promoted to the law powerhouse will be hit by the exchange soul and occupy their bodies if they are not careful.

"It stands to reason that with such a hidden ability, these remnant souls can be said to be immortal. In fact, it was true at the beginning, the combined forces of the countries on the mainland launched a counterattack on the Soul Society, and some of the senior seventh-order powerhouses hired by various countries at great cost easily raided and killed some of the members of the Soul Association who were not well garrisoned, but after a long time, the countries found that no matter how many core members they killed, it would not take long for new members to join the Soul Society, and the status and power of these new members were often not much lower than the original members, and even some of them were their allies who originally fought against the Soul Association together, but for some reason, their temperament changed drastically overnight as if they were evil, and then launched a rebellion and rebellion in a radical way that had no room for manoeuvre, and joined the camp of the Soul Society without hesitation.

"However, these remnant souls are not real Shaq after all, as the soul fragments left by Shak, they actually did not inherit much knowledge inheritance from Shaq at all, so they also underestimated the strength of the real eighth-order powerhouse and overestimated themselves.

"Because the war provoked by the Soul Association was too unscrupulous, the continent of Areth was full of human beings, and finally alarmed an eighth-order demon god powerhouse who had been in seclusion for many years at that time. That demon god originally just wanted to teach a seventh-order fighting spirit hero in the soul association a lesson, but he accidentally discovered the existence of Shaq's remnant soul from that person. Although the demon god grew up in the era after the Shaq incident, after all, he was not far from Shaq's time, and he had heard stories about Shaq, a mad demon god with a split soul, so he quickly recognized the origin of Shak's remnant soul.

Shaq's ability to replace souls shocked the demon god and made him aware of the dangers of these remnants. Therefore, this demon god didn't care that his time was running out, and in the name of his eighth-order demon god, he summoned several seventh-order law powerhouses who were active on the mainland at that time to fight against the front line of the soul association, and after telling them about his discovery, he also told them about the method he had developed that could crack the ability to replace the soul of Shaq's remnant soul and some of the weaknesses of this ability that were relatively easy to target.

"With this demon god and a few senior seventh-order powerhouses who knew about it, finally those Shaq remnants who were constantly relying on soul replacement and stealing their lives were truly wiped out one after another, and the remaining Shaq remnant souls also began to panic, and they began to use their abilities to replace them with irrelevant people in advance and began to hide and escape. It is from this that a series of suicides or mental disorders of core members that are puzzling to the outside world at the end of the Soul Association come from this.

"Since this soul replacement ability is really difficult to detect, when these Shaq remnants abandoned their identity as members of the Soul Society and deliberately went into hiding, even that Demon God and a few seventh-order powerhouses had no way to find their traces. And because the remnant soul occupies the body, this kind of thing is too contrary to common sense, and it is easy to cause large-scale panic, so they don't dare to publicize this truth too much.

"In a few years, the Demon God's Shouyuan is already nearing the end, and there are still a few remaining Shaq remnants that have not been caught, and the demon god is worried that if this continues, when he can really completely suppress the remnant souls of the ancient demon god Shak, something similar to the soul association will happen again after the fall of the super strong people who can truly and completely suppress the remnant soul of the ancient demon god Shak, so the demon god found an old friend he trusted before his death and told him these things as they were, and left all the means to deal with Shak's remnant soul......"

At this point, Harrow paused slightly, as if hesitating for a moment, before speaking again.

“...... This old friend of the Demon God is the ancestor of the slave master. ”

"Ahem......"

Cheruth couldn't help but cough, but luckily no one except Greywind Nanoha paid any attention to her, and Harrow glared at her with disgust and continued to tell the rest of the story.

There was a paragraph about Shaq's remnant soul and the soul association before, and Cheruth did not doubt the authenticity of Helo's words, but she did have some doubts, after all, according to Helo, the soul association incident should have happened in the middle and late stages of the Douqi Era, and Helo was at least a few hundred years old (Helo: Xiao Bairu really said it...... But it would take about two or three hundred years for the person to leave the Demon Beast Forest and wander around, so it stands to reason that she shouldn't be so clear about the secrets of the Douqi Era.

Now Cheruth understands everything, the ancestor of Master Heluo? This is definitely this virtuous wolf's nonsense, although everyone in the outside world thinks that Helo is from the Northland wolf clan, but they know that Helo is a real human top demonic beast. Chelus had heard from Herlan that she and her sister Herlo's magic, aside from the innate magic that came with the Warcraft inheritance, was almost all taught by the old tree grandfather who didn't know how long he had been living in this world in the depths of the Warcraft Forest. Heluo is afraid that he just feels that it is not good to expose his true identity and that of Grandpa Lao Shu, so he will make up an ancestor of some master to cover it up, thinking about it this way, it should be Grandpa Lao Shu who really tells Heluo the secrets of these fighting eras.

Well, it's reasonable to think so, Grandpa Old Tree's strength is still not very clear, but Grandpa Old Tree's lifespan can be called long, and the Demon God wants to pass on such an important secret, Grandpa Lao Shu is undoubtedly the best candidate...... Speaking of which, Grandpa Lao Shu seems to like to like to deal with top magical beasts like Aunt Heran and Sister Heluo who have traveled outside the forest for a period of time, could it be that he is also because of his old friend's entrustment, so he is always paying attention to whether there is a second soul association on the mainland?

Just as Cheruth was thinking like this, in the room, Herro had already completed the half-truths of the follow-up story, and at the same time, the spell casting work at hand was basically over, and the wolf motioned for the gray wind in the form of a dragon wolf to step forward, and put the unconscious Sekaria (Shaq remnant) and Edus (Sekaria) on her back on the cumbersome magic circle she had drawn, and then pasted a piece of paper with the same magic circle on Sekaria's eyes as the one on which she had been drawn, and then left the magic circle with the gray wind together。

"Miss Helo, according to what you said, this ability to replace souls should be a kind of law power, and your use of the magic array is ......"

"The power of the law only frees Shak's remnant souls from the one-to-one correspondence rules between the soul and the body, and the phenomenon of soul replacement is just a natural consequence of Shaq's remnant soul that is not bound by the rules after being transferred to others, and the act of replacing souls is not a law in itself, it is just a spiritual synaesthesia magic similar to contract magic that sends his own remnant soul to others and squeezes out the soul of the other party, as long as he returns to his original body in the same way and then replaces Sekaria's main consciousness soulIf you 'squeeze' it back, everything will be back to its original state. ”

"In this way, the remnant soul of this demon god Shaq ...... In fact, you can use magic to interfere with it to a certain extent?"

Harrow silently glanced at Charles I, who seemed to be simply curious about academic issues.

“...... That's right, although it is a powerful demon god thousands of years ago, after all, it is only a small piece of remnant soul that is still breathing, and the soul power it has is actually not too strong except that it is not bound by the soul law...... But if you're trying to control this Shaq remnant soul in some way and let him do things for you, then I think you may be disappointed, I just briefly investigated, this remnant soul has been engraved by a very skilled magician, between the broken state of this remnant soul, if you want to forcibly erase the existing soul mark and imprint a new empty bamboo mark, it is very likely that this remnant soul will not be able to stand it and shatter. ”

was poked in public The small abacus was slightly embarrassed by Charles I's face, and he coughed lightly, Charles I smiled and waved his hand.

"Miss Helo misunderstood, I'm just curious, hehe...... So, please help Sekaria. (To be continued.) )
