“After all, there are still kind people in the world!” Sui Xiong cheered delightfully, while smiling and waving to the sky, then he focused on the baldacchino.

He could actually feel that the baldacchino contained a powerful magic energy, or in other words, something connected with the magic energy. Or, to put it more precisely, there was the same willpower but much weaker, something like the cruel and cold willpower occupying on the baldacchino. It was now imprisoned in the cold energy, and draining away due to losing the supply from the outside.

Sui Xiong absolutely would not allow his spoils of war to drain away like this, and he hesitated for a while, but then his soul reached out its hands, ready to seize the baldacchino.

Suddenly, a purple-black light flashed, and his hand was stopped by that willpower.

“Oh? Seems there is a knack to it.” Instead of being angry about this, Sui Xiong was amazed. “Let me see how far you can go then!”

His soul clenched its fist, and smashed the baldacchino. Once, twice, thrice… The defensive power of that willpower was getting weaker and weaker. The willpower was finally defeated by his punch, and could never fight back.

“Now I think it is time to finish this, right…?” Sui Xiong was laughing hard. He caught that willpower and swallowed it, which had fallen into chaos after being defeated.

After all these years of travelling, he had already found that apart from “eating”, there was more than one way to devour a soul. In fact, as long as his soul touched the others’, he could directly devour it simply by touching it.

Compared to devouring a soul by eating, it was less efficient to do so by touching, but it could help him to get purer energy by filtering out the impurities of the others’ soul.

More than half of these impurities were memories and experience, which were not totally useless, but still, most of them lacked value. To avoid being greatly influenced every time he devoured a soul, he would use his soul’s energy to get rid of some useless impurities, which was quite troublesome.

If it were not for his mastering the technique of absorbing the magic power and being able to use this power to supply his soul with energy, much more time would be wasted, simply on the process of eating and filtering the impurities. So in the recent years, he had no longer used the technique of devouring to absorb a soul’s energy, but by touching.

However, today’s spoil of the war was rather different, which was worth swallowing and digesting slowly! Also, the magic energy on the baldacchino should be dealt with properly and not be wasted, although it was totally different from Sui Xiong’s cold energy. If he could figure it out and master it, he would be able to get one more powerful magic tactic, which would be immensely helpful, either for self-protection or attacking enemies in the future.

Not to mention, he had bred enmity with the owner of that cruel and cold willpower, and there was bound to be conflict between the two of them. If he could know more about his enemy, the chances of winning would be greater.

Therefore, Sui Xiong took the baldacchino with him and left. To make sure he would be safe, he left the Black Forest and went into the endless sea.

Since he had been relying on the huge jellyfish body, for him, the sea was the main battlefield where he could best demonstrate his power.

When the huge jellyfish swam into the deep sea, in the remote void of space, a dark, cold and quiet world, a magnificent figure watching the human world shook his head.

“He is rather cautious.” He announced, “The sea is not our territory, since he has hid into the deep sea, there is nothing we can do about it.”

“It will come out eventually,” an amazingly tall and heavy armor-wearing figure replied.

“Yes, but when that time comes, we would never be able to find him without the guiding of the willpower on your baldacchino, unless his path crosses with yours again.”

“We will meet again.” A short and old figure said, “Since it has already started, there will be further development and a final result. Also, that jellyfish does not seem like a short-lived creature, so it will show itself sooner or later.”

“When that time comes, we must make him give in, and we can make good use of his powerful energy.” The magnificent figure said, “Maybe it is worth us sacrificing the seat of a god.”

“It is not only us watching it, haven’t you found it strange that something else is seeking it?” The old figure warned them.
