Corrupt Creations

After quietly observing what he had created, Velgor turned around, looking at one of his most faithful followers and asked: "Have you concluded the other experiments?"

The Cerberus Clan Head smiled and said: "Like we expected, everything went according to what you have said. Let me demonstrate it to you."

He walked towards one of the cylinders, where there was a demon in a suspended state and undid the formation used to hold everything on its place.

Crack!

The entire structure fell apart, making that demon drop down on the ground. With the impact, he woke up while feeling tired and weak. That demon seemed to belong to one of the transformation tribes, since some parts of his body were covered with a thick layer of grey hair.

Before he could even realize what was happening though, the Cerberus Clan Head, Barghest, approached him while putting a hand over his head. That hand was already shinning with a purple color and emitting some soul energy fluctuations.

What was about to happen was the same thing that the Secon Prince of the Wu Martial Kingdom experienced. Soul Trap infusion.

The Soul Trap, was a soul technique Velgor taught to a few of his loyal followers, that's why some of them were able to use it. However, none of them knew how to strengthen the soul, just how to use that technique.

Barghest didn't want to plant the Soul Trap and explode it afterwards and destroy the specimen consciousness, but to slowly wipe it out.

As that purple soul energy entered that demon soul space, his eyes started to lose focus, while his body trembled in an excruciating pain. However, he wasn't even able to voice it out.

Barghest kept slowly wiping out his consciousness, almost turning him in a complete hollow vessel. When there was only a tiny remnant of it remaining, Barghest suddenly brought his body to another cylinder, energizing the formation around it and making his body bathe in a transparent liquid.

Right after that, he used a formation connected to the main tube, where that grotesque monster was staying in a suspended state, to extract a bit of the red liquid it was bathing in.

He injected that red liquid inside the tube he just activated and very quickly, the transparent liquid started to turn red.

The corruption suddenly found a new host, entering his body and taking control of it.

From the outside, Barghest and Velgor watched as thousands of thin red lines started to appear in the surface of that demon's skin, infecting his muscles, organs and bones. Suddenly, they saw the flux of energy go towards his head, making a series of changes to rapidly take place.

The corruption was invading his soul space, where there was only a tiny bit of consciousness still remaining. It rapidly started to take control of everything, taking that vessel for itself.

The eyes of that demon suddenly started to turn crimson and a connection between the corruption on his body and soul was stablished.

Boom!

The cylinder was blasted open as a huge quantity of energy started to transform that demon's constitution, turning his body stronger.

He had survived the process, turning into something deadlier. He opened his crimson eyes and gave one step forward, but suddenly he dropped down on the floor, not moving anymore. He had died since the remnant bit of consciousness he had, was extinguished.

"Oh? Interesting."

"Right? We've concluded that the main factor of that crimson energy not transforming most of the specimen into that..." Barghest said while pointing towards the crimson crystal monster unconscious inside the tube.

"Is because it is incompatible with the host Soul. If we wipe out their souls, their bodies are transformed into something stronger, but they will eventually die since there won't be any consciousness controlling the body and brain. That's why those two successful cases are very intriguing. Both of them retained their souls, just that one had his body transformed, while the other received nothing."

Velgor and Barghest studied Seth's case thoroughly, but after many times reviewing it over and over, they weren't able to find any solid transformation on his body. Actually, it only happened when he got unconscious because of the conflict with the elves at the Ygnolia forest, a long time after their observations had already been concluded.? However, both of them decided to turn Seth into a target of observation at that time.

Velgor turned him into his disciple, always keeping an eye on him. But that was only the initial parts of what he had in store for Seth. It's just that his plan is only half ready.

"Very good. Now we're only missing a way to transfer the consciousness to another vessel. That's why I needed to get my hands on what the Demon Empress was hiding from me. I'm hundred percent sure it had something to do with the soul."

"Is that why you set her and you brother up?" Barghest asked.

"Precisely."

Velgor started to walk aimlessly inside that room, thinking about where the item his deceased wife had could possibly be. She didn't tell him what it was, but he was able to fish some things out from his brother's mouth. Both of them were married to the Demon Empress, but he has always felt that she loved his brother more than him.

Velgor wasn't one of those people that got bothered by jealousy, however, he had a very proudful ego. On top of that, he was a cold person, able to do many things and not feel anything. If it were for his plans, he could pretty much set the world on fire, what he was actually doing.

He used a very auspicious opportunity, to set a trap for his wife and brother, killing them on the process. However, what he really wanted, was the thing she had. Something related to the soul.

He just didn't think that what he wanted was a book called Hades Manual, an inheritance from one of the Ancient Gods. It contained many things related to the soul, including what he wanted the most. How to move your soul to another body.

Actually, Seth had used it many times already. It's just that he didn't move his soul entirely, but tiny bits of it, making it merge on those girls he had done the Soul Link ritual with.

If Velgor knew that Seth was the one that had it in his possession, he would already have started the preparations to complete his final plan. Transmigrating his soul to Seth's body and becoming the real deity on this world.

Seth and Rina were sitting in some wooden chairs on the first floor of the Evergreen Tavern. They were traveling very slowly, since Chun Meihui was not a cultivator. At night, they would always set the Evergreen Tavern in a tranquil location, so they could rest and recharged their energies for the traveling on the next day.

When Rina took the wooden cube out of her spatial ring, Meihui thought she would create a campfire with it, but when she saw the wooden cube turning into a tavern, Chun Meihui wasn't able to believe something like that was actually possible, almost fainting from shock.

It took her many minutes to leave from her reverie and enter the Evergreen Tavern.

She descended from the second floor, meeting Seth and Rina on the first floor.

"I've finished arranging Meiyi's bedroom, however, there is a problem..."

"A problem? What is it mother-in-law? Is there something wrong with Meiyi?"

"No, it is not with her. Actually, there is only enough space for two people on that bedroom and there are only two bedrooms on the second floor. Can you help me on arranging another bed for me here, on the first floor?"

"Hm? Are you planning on sleeping here? No... I cannot allow that. If there is the need for someone to sleep here, then I'll do it." Seth suddenly said.

"No! I won't accept that. I'm the guest and this place is yours... How can I sleep on the bedroom if you're sleeping here?"

"No mother-in-law, that won't be a problem for me."

"But it is a problem for me."

While Seth and Meihui were discussing, Rina suddenly stood up and said: "Stop. You don't need to worry with that. I will sleep in the other room together with Seth. You can sleep with your daughter, Meihui."

Rina was entirely red, but she managed to say everything, stunning both Seth and Chun Meihui.

Chun Meihui suddenly looked towards her and then towards Seth, saying: "Ehh... So that's how it is. Hehe... I wish you a good night. I'll be the first one going to sleep then."

After that, she went up the stairs and entered her daughter's bedroom, leaving Seth and Rina alone.

Seth looked towards Rina, not understanding why she proposed that. He shook his head, doubting if she would really be capable of even entering that bedroom if he were to be there.. Inwardly, he still thought Rina hadn't overcome her difficulties, but he was about to get surprised, because Rina was serious about that.
