Lin Yu: Why did this guy think half a Soul Authority made him invincible?

"Whoosh--whoosh--"

The subway sped along, and a gust of wind rushed in through the shattered windows, whipping Lin Yu's clothes and hair wildly, and causing ripples to spread across the surface of the blood-red slime covering Jung's head.

The blood orb was struck by lightning, but it seemed to be completely unaffected.

It continued to expand and multiply—initially it was about the size of Jung's head, about the size of a basketball.

But in less than a second, it grew to the size of a ram's horn.

At the same time...

Lin Yu also noticed that the ripples on the surface of the liquid did not seem to be caused by the wind alone.

Upon closer inspection, many of those "surface ripples" are actually...

The hands, feet, and faces imprinted on it seemed to want to break through the bloody slime, but were forcibly pressed back down!

It's as if its "inside" is filled with countless vengeful spirits trying to break free.

In conjunction with the fact that the First Generation Jung mentioned "sacrifice" in his final words...

Lin Yu had reason to believe that the First Generation Jung had summoned some extremely terrifying being at the cost of his own body and soul!

This "monster's" "status"... is not low.

Soon, the blood cell changed again.

Its tip elongated, like a sapling sprouting, or like some kind of monster extending its tentacles.

The blood-red slime grew taller and taller, until countless... "human-shaped" figures appeared on top of it.

Blood-red shadows of men, women, young and old, all Free Ones with their "upper bodies and heads," emerged from the crowd, their expressions filled with resentment and hatred, all looking in Lin Yu's direction.

At the very top, the First Generation Jung's upper body emerged from within, looking at Lin Yu with a ferocious and twisted expression.

"Beast Master... You're right, conventional methods are indeed ineffective for you."

"Then you'll have to witness... my unconventional methods!"

"You're not the only one with the ability to 'control Summoned Creature '... I'm just as good at controlling summoned Summoned Creature!"

"And this is the most terrifying 'monster' created by the apocalypse that swept through Mist Island, a monster that can only be commanded by those who possess the 'Soul Authority'!"

"'Resentful Blood Soul'!"

First Generation Jung spoke, those blood-red vengeful spirits flew out from above and rushed towards Lin Yu's direction!

These vengeful spirits howled and shrieked, stirring up a bloody mist, and pounced on Lin Yu in hordes, like wild beasts craving flesh and blood!

However, what these vengeful spirits are desperately seeking is... Lin Yu's soul!

Lin Yu's response to this was quite simple...

"Bass--!"

The [Fear Torch] lit up, its flames, imbued with the power of fear, waving and instantly dispelling the two or three most prominent vengeful spirits.

But...

These banished vengeful spirits immediately reformed and continued to rush towards Lin Yu!

"You cannot kill these 'dead' souls—these vengeful spirits are the 'corpses' of souls, the most venomous monsters that should never have existed in this world!"

"That's what the First Generation Jung said coldly."

"Yeah?"

Lin Yu countered with a question, immediately putting away the [Fear Torch], and what appeared in his hand afterward was... [White Bone Flowing Light]!

The aura of "life" emerged from the blade, and the green light swept away the vengeful spirits, causing many of them to dissipate and disperse into a blood mist.

But just like before...

Just moments later, within seconds, these vengeful spirits reformed!

Lin Yu clicked his tongue slightly.

"Tsk... it seems 'corpse' was just a metaphor on your part."

He twirled his sword, and [White Bone Flowing Light] was sheathed and disappeared from his hand, replaced by a pure white fox tail.

[Heavenly Fox White Tail]!

A snow-white fox tail wrapped around his forearm, and a golden light of Desire condensed into a screen of light in front of Lin Yu before merging into the vengeful spirits.

The vengeful spirits enveloped in golden light... their blood-red bodies were also tinged with gold, no longer the pure blood color they once were.

At the same time... their movements slowed down, and even showed signs of "chaos".

Lin Yu said in a low voice, "As expected... although they seem to be unconscious, the raw material is, after all, 'soul'... In the absence of consciousness, what drives them is only the purest and most primal... Desire."

As long as "Desire" exists, it will be influenced by the golden light of "Desire" created by the "Desire Authority"!

After a moment of hesitation, the blood-red vengeful spirits even began to "attack" other vengeful spirits!

"Hiss--!"

These vengeful spirits began to tear at and devour each other in front of Lin Yu, completely forgetting that there was a living soul like Lin Yu right before them.

At the same time, as other vengeful spirits approached, beams of golden light shone from within those approaching blood-red vengeful spirits, spreading like a contagious disease throughout the ever-emerging horde of vengeful spirits.

Desire... is contagious!

These densely packed and cramped subway cars are perfect places for "infection outbreaks".

The First Generation Jung looked at the chaotic state of these vengeful spirits with some surprise.

"How... how do you possess such abilities? You can actually influence... these dead souls and vengeful spirits?"

Lin Yu said in a low voice, "Why not?"

The First Generation Jung muttered to himself, "This is impossible... They are direct products of the 'Soul Authority'... This is a creation of Authority... Why?"

Lin Yu looked at the First Generation Jung and raised an eyebrow. "Are you planning to continue exchanging questions with me under these circumstances?"

The First Generation Jung looked at Lin Yu and asked doubtfully, "Is there still any room for such a thing between us now?"

Lin Yu laughed, "Of course I was just teasing you... idiot."

"But I can also tell you the answer... because I am also using power at the 'Authority' level."

"Honestly... I thought you knew me so well."

Lin Yu spoke in a low voice, and the [Azure Sea Sky Dome] appeared in his hand.

But it makes sense when you think about it...

Although it's not an undisclosed secret that he now wields numerous "Authority" and methods under his dual identities as "Zhu Ming" and "Director," very few people actually know that he can use multiple "Authority."

"Tengshe", "Diviner", "Cold Cicada"...

These guys don't seem to have any way to negotiate with the First Generation "Jung".

Therefore, no matter how wary this guy is of me, his defenses against power related to "Authority" are definitely far from sufficient.

"No... I doubt anyone in this world could anticipate and completely guard against all the 'Authority' level power I can command before we even truly engage in combat..."

After all, the sheer number and complexity of the methods he possessed far exceeded anyone's imagination.

When thugs from two gangs arrange a fight, they might be wary of the other side bringing switchblades, steel bars, or even wondering if the other side is carrying a homemade gun or a handgun bought on the black market.

But no thug would ever be wary of an armored vehicle loaded with heavy weaponry coming up before a fight!

Because this doesn't make sense!

Now, Lin Yu's methods have reached a point where they are "unreasonable".

After all, even Deity usually only wield a maximum of three Authority.

"In short... although 'life' is not very useful, 'Desire' can be used as a defense..."

"These blood-red vengeful spirits have been temporarily restrained, so I have nothing to worry about. We can... attack now."

Lin Yu held the [Azure Sea Sky Dome] and even felt a little disoriented for a moment.

After all, in most cases, he uses the Azure Sea Sky Dome and the Authority of Ocean for defense and the Authority "Desire" as a means of attack.

This time, because the methods of the First Generation Jung were indeed very special and his Soul Authority was very different, Lin Yu's methods also underwent some changes.

But it's okay...

"The First Generation Jung... I hope you can also withstand my test!"

Lin Yu smiled, then his tone turned cold.

"After all... you just called me a bitch and stuff, and while I don't mind, I didn't like hearing you say I had no right to be 'superior'."

"I am more qualified than anyone else to be high above."

Lin Yu put it away, and [Azure Sea Sky Dome] instantly opened, with the tide spreading and the water curtain sweeping towards the direction of the First Generation Jung.

The fragments of "Authority of Ocean" contained within the water curtain amplified this already extraordinary water feature, causing it to surge towards the First Generation Jung like a colossal wave.

Although the other party is now considered a kind of blood-red "spirit," and his body has been completely devoured by the blood-red monster created by that Soul Authority...

Although it looks like some kind of liquid, Lin Yu can actually sense that the current First Generation Jung is no longer in a "Entities" form—his current state of existence is closer to his own when he uses the [Gray Spirit Eye] state.

But...

Even so, with the "Authority of Ocean" backing Azure Sea Sky Dome, the water curtain it creates is far more than just something that can affect the Real World!

The giant wave grew, and on a physical level, it had almost submerged the entire carriage... But on an energy level, its energy level seemed even more magnificent than it appeared in reality.

The raging waves engulfed the figure of the First Generation Jung, and instantly, he screamed in agony!

"Ugh!!!!!!!!!!"

"Wow! That's really... impressive!"

"You bitch, you're really lucky... to have so much... Authority- level power!"

He angrily accused them, his tone filled with endless resentment and bitterness.

"Next time... next time, I will definitely kill you!"

"I will tear you and your Authority, all that stolen strength, to shreds! I will rip them all apart!"

I'll make you realize the gap between us and reality! I'll make sure you can never be so arrogant again!

"I'm going to make you understand... that you're just a pathetic, foolish, lucky... stupid woman!"
