"Luciana... I seem to feel something leaving my mind... I feel much more relaxed now."
The speaker was Ares who had just woken up.
"Ares, you will no longer be controlled by others... However, you'd better not hypnotize yourself in the future, and don't participate in spy work anymore."
Li Ang looked at Ares and said softly.
Ares was still a little confused and seemed to want to say something to Li Ang, but turned around and saw Alina next to him, and he said nothing.
This guy seems to be speechless as soon as he sees Alina.
But Alina probably understood everything. She sat down next to Li Ang with some worry. "Kavala and Malbert, they... are all here with you?"
"It should be..."
Li Ang stretched out his hand and gestured to the center of his head, which is inside the Tianling Gai: "It's probably here."
"In your head? This... this is too dangerous... that is a god!"
Wendy suddenly became sad.
"Don't worry, if nothing happens, as long as I'm alive, they won't be able to get out..."
Li Ang smiled at Wendy, "The so-called gods are actually nothing to be afraid of. As long as you understand them, they can only scare people in their dreams."
Kavala and Malbert should indeed still be in the soul space of Li Ang.
But Li Ang is not worried now.
Li Ang's soul was not affected in any way from beginning to end. He was just awakened by Alina while he was 'dreaming'. This of course does no harm.
As for the two people staying in the soul space - Li Ang can confirm that both Kavala and Malbert have lost consciousness.
What exactly is soul space?
Li Ang has thought about this question many times.
Perhaps even people like Three Prophets or Malbert who can use soul magic don't know about it, and Kavala probably only has a partial understanding of it.
But Li Ang has been able to determine a correct answer with a high probability.
Because his own soul space is so similar to the pure white and empty so-called 'void' he experienced in the temple.
It's just that one is gray and the other is white; one has a purple halo and the other is completely white.
But other than that, nothing else.
Li Ang believes that the chaotic 'void' is not the real void, but another soul space.
On the contrary, after coming out of chaos, the vast expanse of darkness and sea of stars that you see is the real void - the endless starry sky of the universe.
Of course, Li Ang originally entered that chaotic space with a physical body, and the soul space that can carry the physical body must be different from Li Ang's - it should be the soul space of a god.
This should be the reward Creator God gave to the gods after warning them.
But it's not like Kavala said, it's just a reward of soul space to gods who obey the rules.
Creator God should really give those gods a chance to become Creator God - allowing real life to enter their soul space.
What is the soul space of Creator God?
Of course it is the whole world, the world in which people live.
But all the other gods have failed to make good use of their space that was strengthened by Creator God - they have been competing for faith and population, and their thinking has been stuck in robbing each other of resources...
They probably have never thought that allowing real life to enter their own space and create a real new world is the way to truly become eternal, and there is no upper limit.
Creator God has actually made it very clear to them - creating civilization, safeguarding life, and delivering beauty, this is what God should do...
So those gods are all exiled now.
Now that I think about it, the soul space left in the temple is probably Goddess of Order Eunomia.
Because there is no owner's soul in that soul space - Eunomia's soul has gone to the real void, so there is nothing in the space.
This conclusion is not based on guesswork - Kavala once said to Li Ang that if Li Ang left alone, he would be lost in endless chaos and never find his way back...
In other words, Kavala had been in Chaos before, and he could not leave there.
But he could only have stayed in Eunomia's soul space - because his soul was captured by Eunomia and taken to the temple to be sealed.
How to capture Spirit Body?
Of course, take it away with the soul space...
At that time, Kavala wanted to control Li Ang's body, or to trick Li Ang into signing a soul contract with him, and then control Li Ang's body to pass through chaos, then through the abyss, and back to the earth - he had been trying to persuade Li Ang to 'take him back with you' and to let Li Ang relax.
Because you can only leave if you have a physical body...
Moreover, Li Ang has now realized that the Blood Prison Abyss he once experienced, which is Astaria's 'heaven', is also another soul space - Astaria's.
Astaria transformed the soul space and created a "beautiful heaven", and then this heaven became Blood Prison Abyss - but before she created the heaven, her soul space was probably similar to Eunomia.
But after turning into an abyss, the blood sea environment can be used as a reference, so the abyss can give Li Ang a sufficient sense of direction.
But it is still the soul space, and the basic logic is the same as the white chaos of Eunomia - so Li Ang can still feel that it is being 'sucked in', and it is still in a weightless state in Blood Prison Abyss.
Since the abyss itself is also a soul space, Li Ang can be sure that Kavala and Malbert should not be able to get out of their own soul space.
In the abyss, Spirit Body is the entity, but the physical body is virtual; Spirit Body will be hurt, but the physical body will not be touched; Spirit Body cannot break away from the shackles of the abyss, but the physical body can fly out of the abyss - everything is the opposite of the real world.
Then of course it is the same in other soul spaces.
Eunomia That chaotic space, if Li Ang didn't have a physical body at that time, he probably wouldn't be able to escape.
In other words, Kavala will probably not be able to come out of Li Ang's soul space - he is now Spirit Body.
Li Ang already understands what the outer wall of chaos is that looks extremely solid but can actually be broken upon impact...
That is the ability that every complete life has. It is a defense against the invasion of consciousness, that is, a defense at the soul level - it can block the invasion of the soul, but it certainly cannot guard against the physical body.
Only the physical body can escape from the abyss, which means that only the physical body can escape from any soul space, unless you become the master of this space - either control the soul of the master of the space, or expel the soul of the master to forcefully occupy this space.
Whether it is the Abyss Demon or Three Prophets, they can only control the unconscious body, that is, the person who no longer has the awareness of defense.
Ares and other poisonous snake spies, their self-hypnosis is actually equivalent to temporarily giving up the defense at the soul level, in exchange for physical resistance to pain and other aspects, so as to avoid being caught and tortured for confidential information.
Those soul spells all use desire or deception to make people give up their defense of the soul, open up their soul space, and dedicate their souls to demons or gods.
Just like Li Ang, at first I thought I was playing a game and agreed to the 'face life' option.
Three Prophets has also demonstrated the ability to suppress the master and forcefully occupy it, but even when holding the code, Media can only temporarily suppress Elano for a short time. She cannot expel the soul of Elano, a living person with complete life.
When they worked together to exile Kavala, Three Prophets was successful mainly because Kavala did not have any entity at that time, and Kavala was already in the codex at the time - that is, at the gate of the abyss.
This is probably the main reason why Creator God does not allow gods to have entities anymore - gods without entities cannot actually do anything to people.
Especially for a gentleman like Roland who possesses soul-righting skills, his soul space is probably stronger than that of a god.
In order not to violate the rules, Kavala has never occupied anyone's body, but has been controlling other people's souls and switching between various soul spaces...
This is actually taking a risk.
Because, in order to sign a soul contract or control others, you must enter the soul space of others.
Of course, usually when people face a desperate situation or the temptation of immortality, they will sign a soul contract with him. Kavala can gain control of the space, so naturally there has been no problem.
Even if the other party does not agree to the contract, for example, like Malbert initially refused to become Chosen of God, Kavala can immediately return to other places of residence - such as statues.
After all, it is difficult for people to control when they wake up. As long as the soul defense is not turned off, Kavala can come out.
But this time, Kavala brought the soul of Malbert into the territory of Li Ang...
The 'account' Malbert is risky for Kavala, even more risky than Anna!
Because, Malbert was reminded by Li Ang - if you don't want to be controlled by Kavala anymore, try using soul spells on yourself!
Moreover, Li Ang has been staring at Malbert and deliberately let Kavala into his soul space. This is giving Malbert the opportunity to communicate with Malbert. Confidence - Of course Kavala cannot control Malbert in the soul space of Li Ang. Otherwise, who would Li Ang sign a soul agreement with?
Malbert For such a smart person, of course he would figure it out quickly, and he must have been making up his mind before, so he cast the spell directly on himself without saying anything.
Both Kavala and Malbert lost consciousness.
At the same time, both Li Ang and Ares are awakened by Alina.
Li Ang wakes up, which means that the soul space is closed.
Moreover, even Ares's escape route has been cut off...
As long as Li Ang no longer deliberately gives up his defense, I am afraid he will never open the soul space again - as long as a person's awareness of defense is always there, he will be on guard even when sleeping. As long as he does not sign a soul contract with Kavala, there is nothing he can do.
Unless Kavala dares to forcibly occupy Li Ang's soul - but in that case, Kavala will be exiled...
Of course, Kavala will regain his consciousness sooner or later and do other things, but at least in the short term, he won't wake up so easily.
Kavala will lose consciousness, of course because of the existence of the soul contract.
The essence of a contract is reciprocity, which is what Li Ang and Malbert both understand - even the overlord clause is based on reciprocity, but the distribution of benefits is unfair.
What is a soul contract?
It is to transfer the ownership of the soul to Kavala in exchange for the protection and maintenance of the soul with Kavala's divine power. As long as Kavala does not die, these souls will not dissipate.
And Kavala has obtained the ownership of the soul, and can naturally control the original owner.
This is indeed an overlord clause, because Kavala gets greater benefits, and this is a kind of "affiliated" agreement.
But this is also a reciprocal contract, because this contract will also bind Kavala-since the actual ownership of the soul belongs to Kavala, then of course the spells imposed on these souls will be jointly borne by Kavala and the owner of the soul.
Moreover, Kavala may bear a little more.
Just like a studio that actively affiliates itself to a large company and depends on it for survival, if the studio breaks the law, the main company it is affiliated with will bear the main responsibility.
And Malbert used soul temptation on himself, which is the kind of spell Aigrem used, which can be effective on anyone with selfish desires and can amplify his own desires.
Wendy can prevent Malbert from casting spells, so Li Ang should keep Wendy away from him at that time.
Li Ang has experienced the effect of this spell - it will make people enter the world they want most and become addicted to it.
Li Ang was not addicted at that time, mainly because his original world was not very attractive to him, and he still had one-eighth of the Noldor bloodline. Although he could not completely ban demons, he was at least much better than ordinary people.
But the other human troops remained unconscious until Aigrem was struck by lightning and came to the temple.
In other words, unless Malbert is sent to another world, it will probably be difficult for Kavala to wake up - of course, it may also be difficult for Malbert to wake up himself.
Kavala probably never experienced this kind of spell when he was alive, because he has the same magic-forbidden physique as Noldo Elves.
But it's different now. He enjoys this spell because of the soul contract, and there's no way to avoid it...
It is difficult for the gods to fight against the demons of the abyss. Why?
Isn't it because gods also have selfish desires...
Each Goddess only has time to use one attack. This is not without reason, so Eunomia must use a person with a forbidden demon physique to fight against the abyss demon.
This kind of soul spell is actually very powerful, because this spell does not care about the strength of the target. Many extremely powerful people are more susceptible to it - strong people face more temptations and have greater desires and ambitions.
But this spell is also very weak, because it doesn't work at all on people like Roland who have no selfish intentions, and it doesn't work on Noldo Elves either.
As for the effects of the spell - what kind of scenes will Malbert and Kavala be addicted to?
Li Ang is actually not sure, but we can generally tell... The desires of Malbert and Kavala are actually basically the same.
They all try to control everyone, and they basically use coercion.
However, Kavala can use the soul contract, so the control will be stronger.
But now Malbert also knows about the soul contract, and knows everything about Kavala - then, the desires deep in his soul are probably basically consistent with Kavala.
After all, their fates are basically the same...
They are all Chosen of God, but in the end they all hate and decide to rebel against God. Even the results of their rebellion are similar - they are both trapped with God at the same time.
Perhaps, they are all dreaming the same dream now - becoming the only free people, the only masters, and the only gods in the entire world. In their dreams, they can control everything.
"Now, we can concentrate on dealing with Maritin's fleet..."
After taking a breath, Li Ang stood up with a grin on his face. "Alina, this is your territory, you decide, should we fight or flee?"
"I don't care about the loss of a city or a place, but even if we give up Imperial Port, can we get out now?"
Alina sighed and reached out to help Li Ang adjust the bandage binding his left arm, "You are injured now, how do you break out?"
"What would you do if you didn't have to worry about my injury?"
Li Ang still feels a little warm in his heart. Alina has always been thinking about him, and he knows it.
"Then I will probably escape to Siyuan City... the empire's fleet is at Siyuan City, and General Clerion is also there."
Alina looked at Li Ang's injury. "But you can't run fast now."
"Well... I really can't run fast. Let's do this. I'll stay here to delay time. You quickly go to Siyuan City and bring the fleet back to rescue me..."
Li Ang looked at Wendy, turned to Alina and said, "By the way, take Wendy with you."
"No!"
The two girls expressed their objections in unison.
