Chapter 691: Get Revenge (2/2)

”You probably guessed already. We are both parts of the same Soul. Or, to be more specific, we are both the Kun-Peng's Soul. Anyway, now I remember a lot of things. First, I was a Soul Fragment locked in the Kun-Peng's body like many others. But 50 thousand years ago, I finally gathered enough energy to escape.”

Zule continued.

”However, that was a gamble. Just like the other 'Zule,' it is not possible to recover in this place. Our Soul Fragments were way too damaged; we had to go out to find a way to heal it. The other 'Zule' used Binmia to get the resources he needed to do so. In my case, I detected the appearance of the Realm Barrier Dimensional Slasher. No, to be more specific, I noticed the presence of the Heavenly Space Fragment inside it.”

”The Space Power exuded by it really surprised me when I came out. Without thinking twice, I dived right inside it. But who could have thought that the Heavenly Fragment counterattacked? It tried to destroy the intruder that was trying to take possession of it.”

”As you can imagine, I was quite fragile after escaping my... no, Kun-Peng's body. I didn't have a chance against the Heavenly Space Fragment at all. In my despair, I could only use my last option. I let the Heavenly Fragment absorb me instead. During the process, the Kun-Peng's conscience, known as Zule, was wiped away. It is not wrong to say that I was kind of reborn at that moment. I still used my original name, but it is wrong to say that I'm Kun-Peng.”

”But that was not the end. In exchange, I received all of the Heavenly Fragments Memories. Yes, the Heavenly Fragments record everything around them all the time until the day they return to the Universe where they originated or are destroyed. I thought those were my own memories instead. That's why I know how to fix the Realm Barrier Dimensional Slasher, how to use its power, its creator space location, etc.”

Iem was also hearing everything together with Harold and Luvile.

”It was at that moment that everyone thought the Heavenly Fragment had acquired a Sentience. You then completely closed the Underground City and trapped yourself inside in the process. It was only after 50 thousand years that you detected my Heavenly Fragments and used your Spatial Powers to send Iem and me there to help you get free.”

Zule confirmed Krune's words.

”Exactly. However, although 'Kun-Peng Zule's' consciousness was wiped out, the memories themselves were not lost. Somehow, they got locked deep inside my Soul. When I absorbed the other 'Zule's' Soul, those memories finally resurged.”

”Too bad, though. My Soul Fragment spent an entire 50 thousand years inside the Heavenly Fragment. Thanks to it, my Soul Fragment was completely healed. Of course, what I mean is that the Soul Fragment changed into a completely new Soul. Even if I now have my own and the other Zule's memories, they will not make me turn in the Kun-Peng's Soul anymore. I am me, Zule, the Heavenly Space Fragment's Sentient Spirit.”

Krune and the others sighed in relief. It would be quite a problem if Zule started to use the Realm Barrier Dimensional Slasher to attack Krune from inside. But it seems like that won't be the case anymore.

Luvile then began to formulate his own questions, asking them soon after.

”Alright, that is good and all. However, can you tell us just what this Kun-Peng is? Did it really come from the outside?”

Zule's projection immediately shook his head.

”Sorry, even though I recovered a few memories, it is far from being able to answer these kinds of questions. I will need to absorb other Soul Fragments if I want to recover more of my memories.”

Luvile nodded, already expecting this kind of answer.

”Then, what do you remember at the moment?”

Zule pondered a bit before saying.

”Just a few gaps here and there. The Kun-Peng's name was really Zule. He was attacked by someone close, which brought him into this state. I don't remember who or why, though. Of course, only another Primordial Demon Beast or someone of equivalent power would be able to do this to Kun-Peng Zule. That is certain.”

”During the last moments before he was 'killed,' he used some secret technique of the Kun-Peng Race that allowed his body to escape with a fragmented soul.”

”I do have a few more pieces of my memory from the past, but they aren't of much use.”

Krune then asked a question after that.

”What do you plan to do now? Since you already recovered some of your memories, we can turn back and leave this place if you want. The reason we came inside was you, after all.”

Zule shook his head, though.

”No. Let's go to the center of the head. All the other Space Fragments that hadn't escaped are definitely there, hibernating. I can take this chance to take them in as well.”

”By the way, it was also the reason why the other 'Zule' came for me first. He didn't have enough power to absorb those Fragmented Souls, which were being protected by Kun-Peng's body power. He needed to assimilate me first before trying to do it with the others. In the end, I absorbed him instead. I also got the memories of how to properly do such a thing. With Luvile and Harold's Power, I can definitely take the rest.”

Harold couldn't help but inquire.

”So... why do you want to absorb them?”

Zule immediately answered.

”Because they all have the same plan as the 'Zule' I absorbed. Get revenge!”
