Twin Martial Souls, Awaken!

Twin Martial Souls, Awaken!

In the chaotic darkness, Su Yuntian felt pitiful, weak, and helpless.

Malice and curses eroded his consciousness every moment. Even though Su Yuntian was not the primary target of that malicious assault, it still placed immense pressure on him.

The clash within the darkness continued.

The voice of the curse asked again, "What makes it right? Who acknowledges it? Who permits it? Who bears this evil?"

Faced with this question containing all the darkness in existence, a clear, ringing laugh arose. "What a foolish question, hardly worth a laugh. No matter what malice this darkness contains, whether it is innocent, benevolent, wicked, or demonic, the king acknowledges it, the king permits it, and the king shall bear this vast world as well!"

"!"

The darkness asked again, "Who is this king?"

The next second, a dazzling golden light burst from the boundless darkness, and the thick darkness shattered in an instant.

"Who else but me could be king!"

A tall, upright figure stood at the heart of the radiance, gleaming with golden light and dazzling to the eye!

Su Yuntian focused his gaze and saw that the man wore magnificent golden armor. His hair was an eye-catching blond, while his ruby-red pupils were the only feature that stood apart. They were so captivating that even his handsome yet masculine face seemed merely a foil for those eyes.

It really was Gilgamesh!

Gilgamesh was originally the Hero King of the Fate World. He should have had no connection to the world of Douluo Continent.

But there were many things in this universe that defied reason. Exposed within this space, Su Yuntian instinctively wanted to hide.

However, the golden king noticed him immediately.

The golden king smiled. "A brat from some unknown world, yet you can remain conscious within All the Evils of this World."

Su Yuntian smiled awkwardly and said helplessly, "I was just passing by. Your Majesty, please be magnanimous and pretend you never saw me, all right?"

In Su Yuntian's impression, Golden Flash Gilgamesh was not someone easy to get along with. This most ancient Hero King of mankind was moody and difficult to serve.

Yet Gilgamesh did not display much arrogance or pride at this moment. Instead, he studied Su Yuntian for a moment and sighed softly. "What a pity. Your life is nearly at its end. You will die soon."

Hearing Gilgamesh's words, Su Yuntian could not help feeling dejected.

He had been frail and sickly since childhood, and he had just suffered a mental shock while facing All the Evils of this World.

Even Su Yuntian himself did not know whether he would be able to wake up again.

Would he still have the chance to water the loquat tree in the courtyard with his elder brother Su Yuntao?

The thought filled Su Yuntian with overwhelming sorrow.

He still did not want to die.

"However, since the Counter Force allowed this king to encounter you, it will not stand by and watch you wither away. For you, too, are one of the king's subjects!"

Gilgamesh laughed heartily. "Live on. Grow strong in another world, and let this king see what kind of heaven and earth it truly is!"

Radiance burst from Gilgamesh once more, and brilliant golden light enveloped Su Yuntian directly.

...So warm. It felt as though every limb and bone of his body had been filled with strength.

A joy from the depths of his heart welled up within Su Yuntian. He felt as though he were soaking in hot water, so comfortable that he was about to melt. Even his consciousness grew soft and limp, soon merging into the golden spirit particles.

As he gradually lost consciousness, another voice echoed in his ears.

It was a deep voice, even somewhat bewitching—

"Do not be timid, Contractor... The bond between master and servant is an exchange of duties. You save lives, and I return life. All things are like light and shadow..."

"I am Hassan of the Hassan..."

Upon hearing that deep voice, Su Yuntian felt inexplicably reassured. Once more, he lowered the guard around his heart and immersed himself completely in the dense spirit particles—or rather, Soul Power.

In the real world beyond the crystal ball, a golden beam of light erupted from Su Yuntian, blasting through the ceiling of Su Yuntao's home and shooting into the sky!

"Xiaotian!"

Su Yuntao, who had been fertilizing the loquat tree in the courtyard, was terrified out of his wits. He immediately tossed aside his shovel and ran toward Su Yuntian.

Twenty li outside Nuoding City, a handsome young nobleman in luxurious clothing halted and looked toward the golden beam soaring into the sky from within Nuoding City. An incredulous expression appeared on his handsome face.

"An angel... Impossible. How could this world still have an Angel Martial Soul?!"

The Angel Martial Soul was a type of god-bestowed Martial Soul. Among them, the Six-winged Angel Martial Soul was the most powerful Martial Soul on this continent.

The handsome youth knew very well that only one family in this world possessed the Angel Martial Soul: the successive masters of Spirit Hall!

How could a reaction from the awakening of an Angel Martial Soul appear in Nuoding City?

Impossible!

"Someone, go into the city at once and investigate that golden light."

Though inwardly shocked, the youth maintained an outwardly calm appearance and dispatched the scouts from his party.

"The rest of you, set up camp here and await news."

"Yes!"

The retainers and Soul Masters following the youth answered in unison. There were many of them, showing that the youth's identity was anything but ordinary.

In a corner of Nuoding City, the golden beam did not weaken in the slightest after piercing the heavens. Instead, it became even more dazzling.

Within the brilliant light, Su Yuntian slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of ruby-like pupils.

His short golden hair swayed in the wind. The coat that had originally covered his body had long since been reduced to dust by the impact of Soul Power, exposing his fair arms and the dark red divine markings across his chest.

Before Su Yuntian, held in both hands, was a strange golden key. Behind him, two pairs of wings had sprouted.

Was this his newly awakened Martial Soul?!

Not far away, Su Yuntao witnessed everything before him and was already dumbfounded.

...His younger brother, who had originally possessed no Martial Soul, had awakened on the day he turned eleven!

The golden key held in Su Yuntian's hands was the Key of Royal Law inherited from Hero King Gilgamesh—the key that opened the Gate of Babylon.

As for the two pairs of wings behind him, one pair was made of pure white feathers, while the other was black. They slowly flapped amid the surging Soul Power, stirring vortexes of Soul Power and granting Su Yuntian an extraordinary charm at that moment.

Su Yuntao's mouth fell open, because he realized that his younger brother had awakened Twin Martial Souls!

One of them was even the strongest Angel Martial Soul on the entire continent!

Wild joy flooded Su Yuntao's heart, but being cautious by nature, he immediately realized the enormous danger accompanying Twin Martial Souls—especially an Angel Martial Soul!

Rumors within Spirit Hall claimed that only the successive masters of Spirit Hall could possibly awaken an Angel Martial Soul. Then what was Xiaotian's Four-winged Angel Martial Soul supposed to be?

If a new Angel Martial Soul had appeared on the continent, would Xiaotian be taken away by Pope's Palace?

Thinking of this, Su Yuntao shouted, "Xiaotian, restrain your Soul Power and put away your Martial Souls!"

"Put away your powers, quickly!"

Hearing him, Su Yuntian nodded toward Su Yuntao. The moment the thought of putting away his Martial Souls arose in his mind, the golden radiance around him vanished abruptly. The Key of Royal Law before him and the two pairs of wings behind him slowly faded into nothingness, while his floating body gradually descended to the ground.

"Brother, starting today, I'm a Soul Master too!"

Su Yuntian smiled from the bottom of his heart.

He had already received the inheritance of Hero King Gilgamesh, obtaining the top-tier Weapon Martial Soul that did not originally belong to this world—the Key of Royal Law!
