Chapter 167 (1/2)

The chapter title is probably a Code Geass reference because it's Hangyaku no Kumo.

Anyway, what the Parallel Wills were doing all the time is revealed.

167 Spider of the rebellion

At first, I felt an uncomfortable feeling when I fight against Fire Dragon Rendo.

I felt the Dragon to be hateful at that time.

Although I had thought that it was scary, there was not a time that I felt the Dragon to be hateful until then.

The start was when I have doubts on these feelings.

If I see my inside, the doubt was clear.

Is it the effect of ”Wisdom”? I was able to recognize my soul.

There were two things that influenced the soul.

One is the Ruler skill.

”Pride” and ”Patience”, the two skills has influence on my soul.

But, this can't be helped.

I can't tear off the skill, and I can only deal with it by being aware that I'm influenced.

The problem is the another one.

That's the forced rule by the Superior.

I received the influence even though it's a little.

Something like a thread that's connected to my soul.

It's the line for the transmission that the Superior use to send the orders to me.

The fact that I only receive a little influence is because of the ”Heresy Nullity” skill.

But still, because the line is connected since I was born, the order of the Superior flowed into my soul.

The content of the order is to become strong.

It seemed that this is the reason why I greed for strength.

After I defeated Fire Dragon Rendo, I used the line oppositely, and started attacking the Superior.

I dispatched the ”Parallel Will” through the line, and the erosion of the soul by the wills started.

If I were to compare it and say, it's near hacking.

From the terminal called me, I invade the main computer and take over it.

This was the identity of the attack outside of the system that D said.

When saying by my sense, it was similar to the act of eating.

Eat the other party's soul.

It was such a feeling.

I was able to identify the Superior who gave me the order immediately.

Mother.

My biological parent, and the Ruler of the Elro Great Labyrinth.

But, even that Mother was only a mediator.

There's someone who rules Mother.

Surprisingly, that person enslaved four monsters that are equal to Mother.

I advance the erosion of Mother slowly so that it was not noticed by the true Ruler.

Incidentally, I dispatched ”Parallel Will” to the remaining four through the line, and start the capture almost at the same time.

Eating the soul was a quite hard work.

After all, it's the thing that's called as the creature's core.

And in addition to that, the other party is a far higher rank existence.

If it's a normal physical match, there's no way to win.

It can be said that it was possible to carry out simply because I have the defense of the soul that's near cheating called as ”Heresy Nullity”.

The erosion of the soul only advanced slowly.
