"What is that?"

Bai Sheng asked, having never heard the word before. He wondered if it was a new ability of the Spirit Puppet or if some of Pandora's power had returned.

"Seven Sins, as the name suggests, seven types of sin:

Pride, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, and Lust.

They were originally the embodiment of my power, inherited by seven individuals. But now, as you know, most of my power is sealed, and those seven people are all gone. Therefore, there's an empty slot in my authority. With my current abilities, I can create a position. Your friend might still be saved. But it's still very dangerous, so you need to think carefully."

"What should I do?"

Bai Sheng asked. He had to take responsibility for Beleria, even if it meant losing this part of his power later.

Jing Yuan watched from the side. He knew about the scythe. It was an indispensable companion to Bai Sheng. Bai Sheng had told him everything when they were chatting before. So, now, he just needed to watch Bai Sheng solve the problem.

"Activate the Spirit Puppet. Just like absorbing Aatrox before, guide your friend's soul into the Scythe Blade, and I'll be responsible for constructing her authority."

Inside the Scythe Blade at this moment, a woman dressed in deep purple finery summoned powerful energy around her, gradually constructing a small yellow chess piece. On it was carved the head of an unknown beast, its mouth wide open, occupying two-thirds of its body! Not only that, but it also exuded the strong aura of the Path of [Gluttony].

Seeing the chess piece completed, the woman took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. Her breathing was very steady. As she exhaled, her body relaxed, and the muscles in her shoulders and back, which had been tense, gradually loosened. Her eyes became calm.

"It's done. I knew that the remnant of [Gluttony] that Clipper cut off before building the wall would be useful! This is much better than my [Gluttony] back then. It all depends on whether you can catch it, little girl."

Bai Sheng activated the Spirit Puppet outside, his eyes covered with a layer of golden light. An ancient and mysterious aura surged from him. At this moment, Bai Sheng looked like a deity. He reached out and touched Beleria's forehead, and a faint green phantom was guided out of Beleria's body.

That was Beleria's soul. It was a soul that Bai Sheng could guide. Unlike the time with Aatrox, this was the first time he had extracted the soul of a living person.

If Pandora didn't have a way, Bai Sheng would not have wanted to extract Beleria's soul. This way, Beleria could not truly rest in peace; her soul would exist forever, but she would not wake up.

"Bai Sheng, let her in."

Pandora's voice sounded again. Bai Sheng guided Beleria's soul into the Scythe Blade. Gradually, the soul merged with the Scythe Blade and quickly disappeared into it...

"Master... I'll have to trouble you..."

Bai Sheng could no longer hold on. He had no strength left, his energy depleted. If he weren't a Pathwalker, he would have died hundreds of times already.

Jing Yuan supported Bai Sheng. He looked around. In the distance, some soldiers or guards could be seen approaching the battlefield. He picked up Bai Sheng, took Bai Sheng's Pandora as well, and then left.

After they left, two faint blue phantoms suddenly appeared at the original spot.

It was Kafka and Silver Wolf, no one else.

However, this time, only their projections had come.

"Wow, Bai Sheng made quite a scene this time. I've already told Bai Sheng's cheap brother, and he'll cover for us."

Silver Wolf looked around. The place was more devastated than the battlefield she had seen earlier. It was probably due to Phantylia's counterattack.

Kafka nodded in agreement and said, "Alright, darling, just watch. His journey will continue. According to Acheron's script, Bai Sheng will obtain his second soul this time. It's a shame, though. If Sam were here, she would definitely be interested in that armor that resembles hers."

Speaking so much at once seemed to tire Kafka. She beckoned to Silver Wolf, and the two of them disappeared from the spot.

For Kasantiya, this was merely an act of revenge from the Stellaron Hunters. After this, Bai Zhu, Bai Sheng's older brother, successfully ascended and became the new Emperor.

Beep beep! ... Interastral Peace Corporation Breaking News Today:

The renowned Star of Puppets, Kasantiya, was attacked yesterday. According to information provided by an unknown source, there was an unknown conflict between the Emperor of Kasantiya and the Stellaron Hunter member [White Ghost].

[White Ghost] retaliated against the Emperor during Kasantiya's coming-of-age ceremony, killing the Emperor and the Prince, and displaying ice-attribute abilities. This deviated significantly from previous assessments of [White Ghost]'s combat power. While it is not ruled out that others assisted, with the approval of a P40-level administrator of the Corporation, the bounty on the Stellaron Hunter [White Ghost] has been increased to [credit points].

It has been confirmed that the Stellaron Hunter [White Ghost] appears to possess armor of the same type as fellow Stellaron Hunter [Sam], and it is not ruled out that both are mechs...
