“Perfect timing. I’m still missing some flesh and soul to summon my true form.” Granny Bird said, as her appearance changed slightly.
"You might as well give your lives."
As soon as she finished speaking, Granny Bird's appearance completely changed, transforming into a combination of an old woman, a young woman, and a man.
As a sub-body of the Arhat realm, he also possesses most of the Arhat realm's abilities.
It can synthesize the existence of two completely opposite individuals, and then flip between the two individuals or remain in a neutral state.
The old woman bird was a vessel he specifically chose.
Although he was just an ordinary person, his qualities were powerful and pure enough.
A truly kind-hearted elderly man.
At this moment, the characteristics of two people are mixed together, both old and young, both male and female.
Under these conditions, the value of the sub-body also reaches its limit—ninety-eight.
This value represents an absolute crushing defeat for individuals that are not of the steel type.
The arrows shot by Anse's men were like blades of grass blown by the wind from who-knows-where to Ziti.
It wouldn't cause him any harm at all.
The beast souls summoned by Anse were somewhat interesting, but that was about it.
Because Anse brought some resources from his family, his strength has been increased to a certain extent.
If it were ordinary steel, there might be a chance of a rollover.
Unfortunately, what he saw was not just a child entity, but also an ordinary one.
The sub-body can be moved at will, and the invisible force, driven by numerical values, becomes the most deadly weapon.
One by one, the beast souls were strangled to death by an invisible force.
Then the offspring appeared in front of Anse, grabbed Anse by the neck, and lifted him up.
"Your soul tastes quite good; it can be kept as a treasure for me." As he spoke, an invisible force formed sharp spikes, about to pierce Anse's body.
However, at that very moment, the sea of blood beneath their feet surged, and the abyssal aura underwent a vigorous transformation.
"Huh?" The child looked at the sudden change with confusion, then suddenly looked to the other side.
A wisp of black smoke transformed into an ordinary-looking person.
Although his appearance had changed, he still recognized the other party as the strange demon he had encountered before who used both curses and divine magic.
Chapter 253 Soul Collection
Previously, when Kru was dealing with matters, the sub-body came to cause trouble.
Now, for the crucial matter concerning the sub-body, Kluge naturally has to get involved.
It was this moment of hesitation that gave Anse the opportunity.
Several beast souls emerged simultaneously and then merged together, making these beast souls unstable.
Then it suddenly exploded. This explosion did not cause much physical damage, but it created a very strong mental shock.
The originally neutral image showed a slight fluctuation, and the child's hand involuntarily loosened.
At this moment, Anse also used his ultimate move.
At this moment, all the remaining beast souls were poured back into Anse's body.
Anse's body rapidly transformed, then turned into that of a beast!
Druid Arcane: Bear Form!
This secret technique had originally been abandoned. To use it, one had to incorporate the soul of a beast into one's body, thereby causing the body to become beast-like.
However, back when they lived on Earth, Druids possessed the Way of Nature, which allowed them to balance external influences with the spirits of nature and ensure their potential for future advancement.
Now, on the whale's back, the Way of Nature no longer exists. Absorbing beast souls is to violently pollute one's own life force.
However, he came here to risk his life, and he didn't care about future potential at all!
Anse, now in bear form, waved his hand and slapped at the stunned sub-body.
He wanted to drive the demon out of the old woman's body.
On the other side, black energy emanated from Kluth's body, forming a curse that flew towards the child body.
However, the child body regained consciousness the next moment. Facing the giant bear's palm that was about to strike, he didn't care at all. He released an invisible force and blocked it.
His energy was focused on the curse cast by Kru.
He had fought Kru before and knew how troublesome Kru's curse was.
It won't be easy to take down Kru in a short time based solely on the sub-body's stats.
A large amount of invisible power formed a protective barrier in front of him, blocking the arrival of the curse. The sub-body then planned to rush out and quickly approach Kru, but the movement stopped just as it began.
"Hmm?" The sub-body seemed to sense something and looked in the direction of Baiwei Town.
It was clear that he had planted some backup plans and confirmed that the church had received the information at this moment.
"It seems there's no way to summon the main body safely," the secondary body said, then clasped its hands together, and its body began to change and flip.
She transformed back into the form of Granny Bird.
At this moment, Granny Bird was filled with an evil aura, and her original invisible power was being rapidly transformed.
The surging evil became the best sacrifice, and then the phantom of a youth was being extracted from the body.
That is the other vessel that the offspring found—adolescents.
The other party was the son of a merchant, who was above ordinary people but below nobles.
After going back and forth between being high-profile and acting like a dog with his tail between his legs, this young man became a pervert.
He can harbor malice towards anyone without any reason.
Then find an opportunity to take the other party back to their secret base and torture them.
It was precisely this unprovoked malice that led to his selection by the sub-body.
Its characteristics are completely opposite to those of the old woman bird.
Conversely, this perfect utilization of the characteristics of the Aro realm, through continuous reversal, rapidly completed the development of the offspring.
Such a soul with opposite qualities is also a treasure to be cherished in the realm of Arhats.
However, we have no choice but to give it up now.
As the youth's soul was sacrificed, the previously fluctuating sea of blood quickly returned to calm. Then, a figure slowly stood up from within the sea of blood, and the blood rapidly changed and then solidified, finally forming the androgynous appearance of the Aro realm.
"Finally back," Aro said with a sigh.
As the crimson color stopped changing, the image of the Aro realm also stabilized completely.
At this moment, Arojie had changed somewhat from before; for example, his face now had some snake scales.
Her already androgynous and alluring face appeared even more seductive with the snake scales on her cheeks.
The six-armed serpent demon's vessel was killed by Nemus, and it was forcibly sent back to the abyss, where it was in a weakened state, thus triggering a hunt.
As things stand, it seems that Aro has won the ultimate prize in this hunting game.
At this moment, the six-armed serpent demon has become part of the world of Aro.
As he spoke, Arojie stretched out his hand.
The 'Bird Granny' sub-body that was originally standing to the side was immediately absorbed back and merged into Aro's body.
Thus, the face of the Arhat once again took on a more benevolent appearance.
If we ignore those unusual features, Aro's appearance at this moment even resembles that of a deity.
"Grandma!" Anse roared as he watched the bird grandma being absorbed once again.
Beneath the bear's roar lies a reckless charge.
The enormous body suddenly charged toward Aro realm.
Aro's petite body appeared so small standing before the giant bear.
But the next moment, Aro's face had already transformed into that of the old bird.
"Anse?" A kind but slightly doubtful voice rang out, startling Anse.
Then an invisible force pierced through Granny Bird's body. Anse, who was charging forward, felt a sudden pain, his charging steps faltered, and he collapsed to the ground, sliding a short distance.
He stared intently at Arojie, who resembled a bird granny, his emotions beyond mere anger.
With the opponent's strength, they could absolutely kill him with overwhelming power.
However, the Arhat realm wanted to transform into the form of the old woman bird to toy with him.
This is also Aro's ability; he can transform other individuals into one of his two sides through extremely complex methods.
These two sides must be entities with opposite characteristics.
Just like Granny Bird, although she is just an ordinary person, she has enough special qualities, so she is highly valued by the Aro realm.
When the bird grandmother is turned inward and considered as part of the inner structure, the aspect represented by the bird grandmother can provide powerful healing capabilities to the other aspect outward.
When the bird grandmother's side is outward, the 'evil' side will appear as an internal component, providing corresponding abilities.
Currently, it appears that this inherent evil ability may be a curse-like ability to transfer damage.
By harming oneself, one inflicts corresponding harm on an external individual.
This ability isn't the key point; the key point is the way things are done in the Arhat realm.
To hurt someone by using what they care about most—that intense malice was enough to terrify even Kru.
The purpose of Aro is very simple.
"Angry? Keep being angry!"
"Let anger scorch your soul, and let your soul become another treasure in my collection!"
Chapter 254 I'm Not Playing With You Anymore
As a different kind of demon, the uniqueness of the Aro realm lies in its ability to reverse things.
He can only obtain the combined value of the two states when he is in a neutral state.
Power can also manifest as an invisible force without any attributes.
At the same time, the characteristics of both sides can be stacked to a certain extent.
The realm of Arhats is divided by gender and good/evil.
If the male side can collect and grow souls, then it must collect an opposing soul to achieve a balance.
Once the two sides are in balance, the Aro realm will acquire certain characteristics based on the soul.
Of course, these characteristics are usually not too powerful; many different characteristics need to be combined to form a useful feature.
The bird grandmother's soul is extremely compatible with the soul on the other side of the Aro realm, and her qualities can further enhance her healing abilities.
However, the balance between internal and external factors is now unstable.
He must find another soul to fill the void.
The evil soul that was sacrificed earlier was actually quite good, the opposite of Granny Bird's kindness.
However, in terms of value, it is somewhat inferior to the old woman bird.
Now it's difficult to find another soul.
So, Aro thought that since there was no way to find a ready-made one, he would make one himself.
Anse was unaware of Arojie's thoughts. He roared madly, his fury seemingly burning out from his body.
Unfortunately, the disparity in strength did not allow this anger to be vented.
The unreleased rage only burned him; the feeling of wanting revenge and retribution but being unable to do anything was driving Anse almost insane.
“That’s right, that’s exactly it!” In Aro’s eyes, a certain flame was flickering, giving one the feeling that one’s own soul was changing along with it.
