Myriad Souls Banner

Myriad Souls Banner

Thinking to himself, Qin Ming connected his consciousness to the Myriad Souls Banner, wanting to examine it carefully.

The previous battle had been too intense, and he had not dared to let himself get distracted.

Now that the battle was basically over, it was only natural for him to study his cheat.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Accompanied by waves of miserable wails, an incomparably savage will surged directly into Qin Ming's Sea of Consciousness.

Qin Ming's eyes instantly turned bloodshot.

The cries of battle and roars that filled the sky echoed through his Sea of Consciousness. The savage, violent wills of over a hundred Monsters, including Mutant Mantis Shrimps and Iron-armored Giant Crabs, collided with Qin Ming's will again and again.

Evil Spirit Aura? Backlash?

The thought flashed through Qin Ming's mind. The Myriad Souls Banner in his Sea of Consciousness swayed slightly, and secret patterns flashed across its tattered banner cloth.

The already shrieking Monster souls became even more agonized.

They had entered the Myriad Souls Banner and still dared to resist?

"All of you, behave yourselves!"

Having just slaughtered his way across the battlefield, with his soul fused with the original owner's will and greatly strengthened, Qin Ming's consciousness, bolstered by the Myriad Souls Banner, directly crushed the charging wills into pieces.

The Monster souls let out miserable cries and retreated into the depths of the Myriad Souls Banner.

A stream of information also came from within the Myriad Souls Banner, making Qin Ming's eyes light up.

This information was nothing else than a panel displaying the Myriad Souls Banner's condition according to his own understanding.

It was not some kind of system. It merely allowed Qin Ming to understand the Myriad Souls Banner more clearly and intuitively.

He could modify it whenever he wanted.

[Myriad Souls Banner: Order 0]

[Banner Master: Qin Ming (Advanced Trainee, Junior Warrior Level Spiritual Force User)]

[Living Souls: 226/100000 (223 Beast Soldiers, 3 Beast Generals)]

[Main Soul: 0/1]

[Blood Essence: 0/100000]

The panel information was simple, offering only a rough display of the Myriad Souls Banner's condition.

Order 0 referred to the Myriad Souls Banner's grade.

In the world of Swallowed Star, weapons were classified as ordinary weapons, First Order, Second Order, Third Order, all the way up to Sixth Order.

Beyond that were Heavy Treasures, Top-Tier Heavy Treasures, Supreme Treasures, and so on.

According to the information sent by the Myriad Souls Banner, if it Devoured the flesh and souls of one hundred thousand Apprentice Level lifeforms, fused their bones, flesh, and souls into itself, and had a Planet Level Main Soul guarding it, it could advance to First Order.

Its power would become even greater.

Of course, that was only an approximation.

The exact result would fluctuate depending on the strength of the lifeforms it Devoured.

For example, Devouring the flesh of a High Lord Level Monster would certainly be far more effective than Devouring a Junior Beast Soldier.

Under the Myriad Souls Banner's control, captured souls could directly attack an enemy's soul, attach themselves to weapons or even corpses to attack, or be refined into pure Soul Origin.

It could strengthen and repair himself and the Living Souls within the Myriad Souls Banner, and could also serve as the Myriad Souls Banner's stored energy.

As for corpses, flesh, and bones, they could be used to strengthen the Myriad Souls Banner itself or turned into Flesh Puppets to participate directly in battle.

They could also be refined into pure Blood Essence to strengthen and repair himself and the bodies of Flesh Puppets, while likewise serving as stored energy.

With this entire process, both souls and flesh were utilized to the utmost.

"Advanced Trainee, Junior Warrior Level Spiritual Force User? So I've become a Spiritual Force User already? As expected of the Myriad Souls Banner."

Qin Ming thought to himself. The original owner, as a student of Jiangnan No. 1 Military Academy, had already been an Advanced Trainee, but becoming a Spiritual Force User was undoubtedly thrilling.

On Earth, Spiritual Force Users were even stronger and rarer than Martial Warriors.

His consciousness entered the Myriad Souls Banner.

The seemingly ordinary Myriad Souls Banner contained a gray, hazy space. More than two hundred Monster souls wailed and roared within it, giving off black smoke.

With a thought, the Primary General Level Iron-armored Giant Crab hiding in a corner of the banner floated over.

Its soul was as enormous and ferocious as its body had been in life, only transparent now. Its eyes were filled with fear as it looked at Qin Ming.

Facing the ten-meter-long Iron-armored Giant Crab, Qin Ming felt no fear at all. Instead, he was full of excitement.

When encountering a tiger in the wild, any normal person would be afraid.

But what if it was in a zoo?

Especially when you held the leash in your hand and controlled its life and death.

Even if a tyrannosaurus appeared before you, you would only think it looked rather "nice."

Naturally, there would be no fear.

Controlling the Iron-armored Giant Crab's soul, he raised its massive claw and casually made a few movements. Then Qin Ming looked toward the other Monster souls nearby and tried them one by one.

Sure enough, he could control them all with ease.

However, Qin Ming also discovered that if he wanted precise control, he could only control six at once. Any more than that, and he could not operate them perfectly.

For example, although he could control every Monster soul in an instant, he could only designate a single target and let them attack on their own.

"Not bad. I wonder how powerful an attack from over two hundred Monster souls at once would be?"

While secretly satisfied, Qin Ming tried another function of the Myriad Souls Banner.

Refinement!

It could turn the souls within the Myriad Souls Banner into pure Soul Origin.

With a thought, secret patterns flickered across the Myriad Souls Banner.

A Junior Beast Soldier Bone-armored Shrimp selected by Qin Ming had its soul crushed as though beneath a millstone. It instantly turned into countless specks of light before finally condensing into a rice-grain-sized diamond-shaped crystal.

Qin Ming only felt a warm current flow from the diamond-shaped crystal. It was as if his soul had swallowed an ultimate tonic, and his spirits instantly soared.

All the fatigue from the continuous fighting vanished.

"My soul is too weak. A soul condensed from a single Junior Beast Soldier is enough for me to digest for an entire day. I wonder what level I'll reach after being strengthened.

How many crystals would it take to strengthen me into an Intermediate Warrior Level Spiritual Force User?"

As he thought, Qin Ming controlled the crystal formed from the Soul Origin and sent it flying into the Monster horde.

The surrounding Monsters immediately stirred, their souls filled with longing. Soul Origin seemed to offer them immense benefits.

Yet under Qin Ming's intimidation, they did not dare snatch or consume it. They could only let out low growls.

"That's more like it."

He tossed the soul crystal into the Monster horde.

All the Monster souls immediately scrambled for it. In the end, the Monster that consumed the Soul Origin had a noticeably stronger aura, and even its illusory, transparent body became somewhat more solid.

Just as Qin Ming was about to conduct further tests, a voice sounded beside his ear.

"Qin Ming, it's time to change shifts. Not bad. For your first time on the battlefield, you performed this well. As expected of a top student from Jiangnan No. 1 Military Academy."

Inside the fortress, Jia Hong walked over and smiled at Qin Ming.

"At first, I was so scared I nearly pissed myself. My hands are still shaking.

I'd only seen Monster tides in textbooks and videos before, but only when you truly face one do you understand that kind of terror."

His consciousness returned to his body, and Qin Ming shook his head.

Perhaps he had been born with nerves of steel, and after inheriting the original owner's memories, he had quickly adapted to the battlefield. But fear was still unavoidable.

"Hahaha, a Monster tide? This doesn't count as a Monster tide. At most, it's just the ocean Monsters' usual assault. There are only a few hundred thousand Monsters participating in the attack.

The base hasn't even fully activated.

When a real Monster tide erupts in the future, you'll understand. There will be hundreds of millions of Monsters, or even more! It won't be strange for multiple Lord Level Monsters, or even King Level Monsters, to appear."

A burly man over 1.9 meters tall walked over while carrying a machine gun, speaking with a grin.

"A usual assault?"

Qin Ming's eyes widened. That sea of Monsters did not even count as a Monster tide?

"Don't listen to him. It's not that exaggerated. This can still be considered a small-scale assault. If a large-scale Monster tide really broke out, our Laser Cannons and War God-level experts wouldn't be pushovers.

Zhang Heng, what are you bragging for?

When you first went onto the battlefield, who was it that cried for his father and mother?"

Jia Hong shot the burly man a sidelong glance.

"I understand. Class monitor, the Monster tide outside has already retreated. Should we go down and help clean up the Monster corpses?"

Qin Ming looked down from the fortress toward the base entrance below.

As the Monster tide retreated, the base gates slowly opened. Large numbers of engineering vehicles rolled out and began dealing with the enormous Monster corpses on the battlefield.
