"Mm."
Electrolux let out a long sigh. "Impurities contaminating the Sea of Consciousness can be stripped away horizontally, but not cut vertically. If we insist on removing the portion of Scarlet King's Sea of Consciousness infected by Divine Sense, we would have to cut away at least half of it."
"If that happens, nearly half of Scarlet King's memories would have to be completely abandoned as well. I don't think that is an outcome any of you, Scarlet King included, could accept."
As he spoke, Electrolux flicked the staff in his hand. Across the Sea of Consciousness, which had nearly been completely frozen, the patches of spider silk began spreading once more. Though they moved slowly, they were steadily devouring what remained of Scarlet King's Sea of Consciousness.
"Senior, is there any other solution?"
At that moment, as the Ice Prison Soul Fire thawed slightly, Scarlet King's voice finally came through. Clearly, Scarlet King's Sea of Consciousness had only been frozen earlier; his awareness could still perceive the conversation between them.

Electrolux glanced at the continuously spreading spider silk. "I can continue permanently freezing you together with this Divine Sense Spider until that boy Chen achieves Hundred-Level Godhood, or revives me. Then your problem will naturally be resolved."
"The only reason I cannot deal with your condition now is that I am merely a strand of Divine Sense. That is why I am helpless against this Divine Sense Spider's erosion of your Sea of Consciousness."
"But if that boy Chen achieves Hundred-Level Godhood someday—no, as long as his Spiritual Power Realm fully rises to Divine Sense, even if his cultivation has not yet reached the godly level, the problems on your body can be solved with ease."
"I imagine that, for Soul Beasts, this will not be very long.
