"They're..."
"Right now, only their bodies have been resurrected. Their souls are still in my hands, being modified." Two golden orbs appeared in Chen Luo's hands.
If one looked closely enough, they could see two tiny figures struggling inside the golden orbs.
The method of resurrecting Lating and Weser was similar to Pest's resurrection, though there were slight differences.
Lating and Weser had been taken into the Investiture of the Gods immediately after their deaths.
Rounding it off, it was practically the same as never having fully died.
Pest was different. If Pest did not die once, the Gift Game could not truly end.
So Chen Luo had only intercepted a fragment of Pest's true spirit as proof of ownership over her soul. However, most of Pest's soul had indeed gone through the Hako niwa rules before returning to Chen Luo's hands.
It sounded a bit like money laundering?
And because Lating and Weser's souls had remained in the Investiture of the Gods all along, Chen Luo could do whatever he wanted to their souls!
"Wahaha! Pest, watch helplessly as your former comrades are completely dyed in my colors!" Chen Luo laughed maniacally as he spoke.
"Step forward and let me grant you new life!"
Lating and Weser, capable of only simple movements through their bodies, knelt on one knee so that Chen Luo, seated in his wheelchair, could more easily touch their foreheads.
Pest still wanted to stop him, but the instant she tried to step out of the magic circle beneath her feet, dark chains suddenly shot up and tightly bound her in place.
"Stop! How is forcing others any different from what a Demon Lord would do?!" Pest raged.
Ding! You have a new commission!
Pest might not have spent much time with Lating and Weser, but
