Chapter 413: The contract is reciprocal

Lucianna...... It was as if something had left my head...... I'm much more relaxed now. ”

It was Ahlers, who had just been awakened, who spoke.

"Ahlers, you're not going to be controlled anymore...... However, you'd better stop hypnotizing yourself and stop being a spy in the future. ”

Leon looked at Alys and said softly.

Ahlers was still a little confused, as if he wanted to say something to Leon, but when he turned his head and saw Alina beside him, he didn't say anything more.

The guy seemed speechless as soon as he saw Alina.

But Alina probably understood, and she sat down beside Leon with some concern: "Kavala and Malbert, they ...... All with you? ”

"It should be ......"

Li Ang stretched out his hand and gestured at the center of the top of his head, that is, the inside of the Heavenly Spirit Gai: "I guess it's here." ”

"In your head? This...... It's too dangerous...... That's a god! ”

Wendy's face suddenly became sad.

"Don't worry, if nothing else, as long as I'm alive, they won't be able to get out......"

Leon smiled at Wendy: "The so-called gods, in fact, there is nothing to be afraid of, as long as you understand them, they can only scare and scare people in dreams." ”

Kavala and Malbert should indeed still be in Leon's soul space by now.

But Leon isn't worried right now.

Leon's spirit was not affected in any way, he was only awakened by Alina while he was 'dreaming', which of course would not be harmful.

As for the two who stayed in the soul space, Leon could be sure that both Kavala and Malbert were unconscious.

What exactly is the soul space?

Leon had thought about this question many times.

Perhaps, even people like the Three Prophets or Malbert who can use soul spells don't know, and Kavala probably only knows a little about it.

But Leon was already able to judge an answer with a high probability of being correct.

Because his own soul space was too similar to the pure white and empty so-called 'void' he had experienced in the temple.

It's just that one is gray and the other is white; One has a purple halo, and the other is a white patch.

But other than that, it's no different.

Li Ang believed that the chaotic 'void' was not a real void, but another soul space.

On the contrary, after getting out of the chaos, the large sea of darkness and stars that I saw was the real void - it was the endless cosmic starry sky.

Of course, Li Ang originally entered that chaotic space with a physical body, and the soul space that could carry the physical body must be different from Li Ang's - it should be the soul space of the gods.

This is supposed to be the reward given to the gods by the creator god after warning them.

But it's not, as Kavala says, just a reward for the god's soul space.

The creator god is supposed to have really given those gods a chance to become creator gods—to allow true beings to enter their soul space.

What is the soul space of the creator god?

Of course, it's the whole world, the world people live in.

But all the other gods have failed to make good use of their enhanced space by the creator god - they have been fighting for faith, for population, and their minds have been stuck in competing for resources......

They probably never thought that letting real life into their own space to create a real new world is the way to truly become eternal, and there is no upper limit.

In fact, the creator God has made it very clear to them - creating civilization, maintaining life, and passing on beauty, this is what God should do......

So all those gods are now in exile.

Now that I think about it, the soul space left in the temple is probably that of Yunomia, the goddess of order.

Because there was no master's soul in that soul space—Yunomia's soul had gone to the true void, there was nothing in the space.

This conclusion is not based on speculation - Kavala once told Leon that if Leon left alone, he would be lost in endless chaos and would never find his way back......

In other words, Kavala had been in the chaos before this, and he couldn't get out of there.

But he could only have been in the soul space of Yunomia, because his soul had been captured by Yunomia and sealed in the temple.

How do you get rid of the spirits?

Of course, it was taken away with the soul space......

Kavala wanted to take control of Leon's body, or rather, to trick Leon into signing a soul contract with him, and then manipulate Leon's body through chaos and then through the abyss and back to the earth - he had been trying to convince Leon to 'take him with him' and let Leon relax.

Because there are entities to leave......

And Leon has now realized that the abyss of blood hell that he once experienced, that is, Asterya's 'heaven', is also another soul space - Asteria's.

Astaria transformed the Soul Space, creating a 'Good Heaven', which then turned into a Blood Hell, but before she created the Heaven, her Soul Space was probably about the same as that of Eunomia.

It's just that after becoming an abyss, the blood sea environment can be used as a reference, so the abyss can give Li Ang enough sense of direction.

But it was still a soul space, and the basic logic was the same as that of Yunomia's white chaos - so Leon could still feel that he was 'sucked in', and that he was still weightless in the abyss of the Blood Prison.

Since the abyss itself is also a soul space, then Leon can be sure that Kavala and Malbert should not be able to get out of their soul space.

In the abyss, the spirit is the entity, and the physical body is the void; Spirits are hurt, but flesh is not touched. The spirit cannot escape from the abyss, but the physical body can fly out of the abyss—all in reverse of the real world.

Then the rest of the soul space is of course the same.

In the chaotic space of Yunomia, if Leon didn't have a physical body at that time, it is estimated that he would not be able to hit it out.

In other words, Kavala was most likely unable to get out of Leon's soul space—he was now a spirit being.

Leon already understood what the outer wall of chaos was, which looked solid but actually shattered at the first impact......

That is the ability that every complete life possesses, which is the defense against the invasion of consciousness, that is, the defense at the soul level—it can block the invasion of the soul, but it certainly cannot prevent the physical body.

Only the physical body can escape from the abyss, which means that any soul space can only be separated by the physical body, unless it becomes the master of this space - either controlling the soul of the master of the space, or expelling the soul of the master to forcibly occupy this space.

Whether it is the Abyss Demon or the Three Prophets, they can only control the unconscious body, that is, the person who no longer has the sense of defense.

The self-hypnosis of Ahlers and other viper spies is actually equivalent to temporarily giving up the defense of the soul level, in exchange for physical resistance such as pain, so as to avoid being caught and tortured with confidential information.

Those soul spells use desire or deception to make people give up their own defenses against the soul and open up the soul space to give their souls to demons or gods.

Just like Leon, who thought he was playing a game, he agreed to the 'face life' option.

The Three Prophets had also shown that they had suppressed their master's forcible possession, but even with the Codex in hand, Midia could only temporarily suppress Illano for a short time, and she could not expel the soul of Illano, a living person with a full life.

The success of the Three Prophets when they joined forces to banish Kavala was mainly because Kavala did not have any entity at the time, and Kavala was already in the Codex - that is, the Abyss Gate.

This is probably the main reason why the creator god does not allow the gods to have entities anymore - gods who do not have entities can actually do anything to people.

Especially a righteous gentleman like Roland who has the right soul technique, his soul space is mostly stronger than that of a god.

In order not to break the rules, Kavala has never occupied anyone's body, and has been controlling other people's souls and switching between various soul spaces......

It's actually a risk.

Because, in order to sign a soul contract, or to manipulate others, you must enter the soul space of others.

Of course, usually people face a desperate situation or the temptation of immortality, they will sign a soul contract with him, and Kavala can get control of the space, so naturally there has been no problem.

Even if the other party does not agree to the contract, such as Malbert did in the first place, Kavala can immediately return to another shelter, such as the statue.

After all, it is difficult for people to control when they wake up, and as long as the soul defense is not closed, Kavala can come out.

But this time, Kavala took Malbert's soul with him into Leon's territory......

Malbert's 'account' is risky for Kavala, even more so than Anna!

Because, Malbert had been reminded by Leon that if he wanted to no longer be controlled by Kavala, he would try to use soul spells on himself!

And Leon kept staring at Malbert's eyes, and deliberately let Kavala into his soul space, this is to give Malbert a chance and confidence - Kavala can't control Malbert in Leon's soul space, of course, otherwise who will Leon sign a soul agreement with?

Malbert was such a smart man, of course, he would figure it out quickly, and he must have been making up his mind before, so he cast a spell directly on himself without saying anything.

Both Kavala and Malbert lost consciousness.

Meanwhile, both Leon and Ares are awakened by Alina.

When Leon woke up, it meant that the soul space was closed.

And even the retreat of Ales has been cut off......

As long as Li Ang no longer deliberately takes the initiative to give up his defense, I am afraid that he will never open the soul space again - as long as people's sense of defense is always there, even when he is sleeping, he is on guard, as long as he does not sign a soul contract with Kavala, he will have no choice.

Unless Kavala dared to forcibly take possession of Leon's soul - but in that case, Kavala would be banished......

Sure, sooner or later, Kavala will come to his senses and do something else, but at least in the short term, he won't wake up so easily.

Kavala will lose consciousness, of course, because of the existence of the soul contract.

The essence of the contract is reciprocity, which is a truth that both Leon and Malbert understand - even the overlord clause is based on reciprocity, but the distribution of benefits is unfair.

What is a soul contract?

It is the transfer of the ownership of the soul to Kavala, in exchange for the protection and maintenance of the soul with Kavala's divine power, and as long as Kavala does not die, these souls will not dissipate.

And Kavala has the right to belong to the soul, so he can naturally manipulate the original owner.

This is really an overlord clause, because Kavala gets a bigger benefit, and it's a 'hook' type of agreement.

But this is also a reciprocal contract, because this contract also binds the Kavala - since the actual ownership of the souls belongs to the Kavala, then the spells imposed on these souls will of course be shared by the Kavala and the owner of the soul.

And, Kavala may take on a little more.

Just like a studio that is actively affiliated with a large company and depends on a large company to survive, if the studio violates the law, the main company to which it is affiliated will bear the main responsibility.

And Malbert used soul temptation on himself, the kind of spell that Agrim had used, which could be effective on anyone with selfish desires, and could amplify his desires.

Wendy was able to stop Malbert from casting spells, so Leon had to keep Wendy away from him.

The effect of this spell has been experienced by Leon - it will make people enter the world they want most and indulge in it.

Li Ang was not addicted at that time, mainly because his original world was not very tempting to him, and he also had one-eighth of the Noldor bloodline, although he could not completely ban demons, but at least it was much better than ordinary people.

However, the rest of the human forces remained unconscious until Agraim was struck by lightning and brought to the temple.

In other words, unless Malbert is sent to another world, it is likely that Cavala will have a hard time sobering up – and of course, Malbert himself may not be sober either.

Kavala probably hadn't experienced this kind of spell when he was alive, because he had a forbidden constitution like the Noldor Elves.

But now it's different, he enjoys this spell because of the soul contract, and there is no way to circumvent it......

The gods seem to have a hard time fighting against the demons of the abyss, why?

Isn't it because the gods also have selfish desires......

It's not for nothing that each goddess only has time to strike a single blow, so Yunomia has to use a person with a forbidden physique to fight against the abyss demons.

This kind of soul spell is actually very powerful, because this kind of spell does not care about the strength of the target, and many people with extreme strength are more susceptible - strong people face more temptation, and their desires and ambitions are greater.

But this spell is also weak, because it doesn't work at all against people like Roland who have no selfish intentions, and it doesn't work against the Noldor Elves.

As for the effects of the spell – what kind of scenario would Malbert and Kavala indulge in?

Leon wasn't sure, but he could tell...... Malbert and Kavala's desires are basically the same.

They all try to control everyone, and basically by coercion.

It's just that Kavala can use the soul contract, and the control will be a little stronger.

But now Malbert also knows the soul contract, and knows everything about Kavala—then, the desires in his soul are probably basically the same as Kavala.

After all, they even have the same fate......

They were all chosen ones, but in the end they all hated and decided to rebel against God, and even the result of the rebellion was almost the same—they were all trapped with God at the same time.

Perhaps, they are all dreaming the same dream now—to become the only free man, the only master, and the only god in the whole world, in which they can control everything.

……

"Now, we can concentrate on dealing with Maritin's fleet......"

After breathing a sigh of relief, Li Ang stood up with grinned teeth: "Alina, this is your territory, you decide, do we fight or escape?" ”

"I don't care about the loss of one city and one place, but even if we give up the Emperor's Port, can we get out now?"

Alina sighed and reached out to help Li Ang adjust the bandage that bound his left arm: "You are injured now, how can you break through?" ”

"What would you do if you didn't have to worry about my injuries?"

Leon still has some warmth in his heart, Alina has always thought about him, and he knows it.

"Then I'll probably run for my life to Siyuan City...... The Empire's fleet is in Siyuan City, and General Creon is there. ”

Alina looked at Leon's wounds: "But you can't run fast now." ”

"Hmm...... I really can't run fast. In this way, I will stay here to delay time, and you should hurry up and go to Siyuan City to bring the fleet back to rescue me......"

Leon looked at Wendy, turned to Alina and said, "Take Wendy with you by the way." ”

"No way!"

The two girls objected in unison.
