The First Generation Zero's Advice (4)
But in the end, he handed the Soul Fragment in his hand to Ileta.
Ileta smiled slightly and accepted the Soul Fragment.
She didn't need to breathe, yet it seemed as if she took a deep breath. Then, her dark eyes stared at the fragment of the soul in her hand. On her lace-gloved palm, clusters of black threads began to grow rapidly, densely wrapping around the fragment of the soul.
It seemed to be an extension of Ileta's consciousness; these threads were rapidly permeating every corner of the soul fragments.
No matter how deeply hidden the mark, it cannot escape Ileta's perception.
This didn't seem to be an easy task for Ileta either; her body was even trembling slightly, and her already pale face looked even whiter.
The black mist began to churn around Ileta once again.
The souls that had long since died let out sharp cries and roars.
As the one who intercepts resentment, Ileta endures the greatest and most terrifying malice. Leaving aside whether these resentments actually cause physical damage, just hearing these sharp cries and wails, these venomous curses every day, is enough to break a person's will.
Ileta survived in this environment for over a thousand years.
This willpower is probably stronger than that of anyone Qin Chu has ever encountered.
The whole process lasted a very long time.
Suddenly, Ileta let out a long sigh of relief, "Found it."
Qin Chu's spirits lifted, and he saw Ileta slowly close her eyes, seemingly using her consciousness to carefully perceive everything remaining in the fragments of her soul.
Then, her slightly thin lips parted slightly.
Although it was still Ileta's voice, her demeanor and tone seemed to have transformed into something entirely different in that instant.
The eerie appearance sent chills down Qin Chu's spine.
What Ileta said sent chills down Qin Chu's spine.
"I am Jello."
"If anyone is lucky enough to see what I left behind, please remember one thing: do not trust me, and do not trust anyone Jello."
"Because I am already dead."
"Whether it's the body or the soul!"
"They despicably stole everything from me—my body, my memories, my soul..."
"If you, like me, are a guest from another world, then stay away from this world. In this world, there is only indifference, ruthlessness, cruelty, deception, madness, Greed, and Desire..."
"This is a fucked world..."
Ileta's voice sent a chill down Qin Chu's spine, as if a worm were crawling on it. The intense fear made Qin Chu feel as if he were standing on the edge of a cliff, with an Abyss below.
Many thanks to Ge Yi and en-vano for the 500 coins. Thank you for your support.
Chapter 219 The First-Generation Jello's Advice (4)
Jello is, of course, dead; this is common knowledge throughout the entire Skyvault Continent.
Qin Chu had a strange feeling that the death described in the Soul Fragment was probably not the same as the death of Jello, which was known to everyone on the Skyvault Continent.
Furthermore, what about what Jello left in the fragment of his soul—that they stole everything from him: his body, his life, his soul, his memories?
The eerie content, coupled with Ileta's indifferent tone, despite the lack of particularly terrifying content or images, sent chills down one's spine.
Qin Chu's body trembled slightly. He knew that he might have to learn some of the true secrets of this world this time.
He pricked up his ears, not wanting to miss a single detail.
Ileta's voice didn't stop for long and soon resumed:
"Perhaps what I left behind will leave you with some questions..."
"However, I can tell you from the beginning..."
Qin Chu was quite lucky; Jello left behind a message he wanted to convey in his soul, and this message was scattered in all directions because the soul was shattered. The information in this Soul Fragment seemed to be the beginning of all the information.
"I come from a beautiful world, a world called Earth."
"The place I live in is a country on Earth that is full of romance."
"I have a beautiful girlfriend, I swear she's really pretty... but why, why do I always feel like her best friend is more alluring... Ah, I'm such an idiot, I need to repent."
"Who can blame them? This is a country full of romance."
"So, the problem isn't with me, it's with the world."
"Okay, I may have been a bit long-winded, and this may seem like just some trivial nonsense... Well then, what follows is the really important part."
"I had a romantic evening with my girlfriend's best friend, and we were both very happy."
"Perhaps it was because I was too satisfied that I died, probably... When I regained consciousness, I found myself in a mysterious place."
"A time tunnel, you know what that is? It feels like something like that."
"I seem to be heading towards some mysterious world."
"This must be what they call time travel. I might become the protagonist in a novel, comic, or movie... I'm starting to regret it a little. I mean, maybe I should have prepared a pair of gloves with some gemstones on them..."
"Then, I heard a woman's voice, and she said I was the Hero chosen by Fate."
"I will travel to a world ravaged by Magic Creature and shrouded in gloom, to bring light and hope to this world."
"Although I can't see the woman's face, her voice is beautiful. She must be a very beautiful goddess. If I could, I'd really like to try it out. I wonder if it would be more exciting than my girlfriend's best friend..."
"I wanted to ask clearly, and then, the mysterious passage was suddenly blocked."
"I found myself in a dark and deep place, which seemed to be the Void, and several... well, seven strange-looking things appeared in front of me."
"These guys are really ugly, they don't look like good people at all. They actually want me to submit to them and become their followers?"
"Hahaha... What a joke! I am a citizen of noble France. My country has produced heroes like Joan of Arc, and never surrendering is our belief."
"I believe in God."
"I will absolutely not surrender to these hideous monsters."
"I immediately thought of defeating their Mazer."
"Wait, what are these hideous monsters saying? They want to erase my consciousness from my soul, even destroy my soul, and then create a fake one..."
"Wait, wait... please no! If my consciousness is erased and my soul is destroyed, will I still be myself?"
"Please, where is the goddess who summoned me? Please save me!"
"Seriously? Are you serious?"
"Okay, I surrender!"
"Screw tradition."
"I knelt before these seven ugly monsters, devoutly expressing my submission to them. They were so powerful that they terrified me. Although they were ugly, becoming their follower seemed like a good choice. After all, they had promised me that if I chose to submit, I would gain supreme power, strength, wealth, and countless beauties. I swear, I have never been so devout, not even when praying to God."
"Actually, I don't care about beautiful women; I'm not that kind of person."
"After all, I don't know much about that Skyvault Continent. Maybe these seven ugly monsters are actually the ones representing justice?"
"But damn it, my surrender didn't bring the benefits I deserved. It seems that my initial refusal has enraged these seven monsters."
"My consciousness has been stripped away."
"I watched as they copied all my memories. Some strange tentacles wrapped around my body, injecting an incredibly foul-smelling slime into my body. They said I was ugly and didn't fit the concept of humanity..."
"They completely transformed my body according to human concepts. What kind of being was he? He was neither fat nor thin, neither tall nor short, his face was neither masculine nor feminine, his eyes were neither big nor small, and his skin was neither fair nor dark."
"Just looking at that face gives me a chilling fear."
"That was a person, but one completely devoid of any distinguishing features, merely conforming to the concept of a human being."
"They injected some strange threads into the newborn Jello's body, imbuing him with my memories. Then his eyes began to shine, and he transformed from a puppet into a soul with common sense. They gave him a task!"
"Hunting for Fate... and the Hero."
"I know he has become the new Jello."
"Whether you're from the Skyvault Continent or Hero from another world, remember my advice: stay away from this world. If you can't stay away, then find a corner to hide in."
"And my end has come. Is this the punishment for betraying my lover?"
"I'm such a pathetic clown."
That concludes Ileta's remarks.
She opened her eyes, her dark pupils filled with sorrow.
Qin Chu then realized that his entire body was covered in goosebumps.
The First-Generation Hero died shortly after being summoned to this world.
During the summoning process, the hero was intercepted by the Evil God of the Void. They erased the Hero's original consciousness and soul, transforming him into a puppet completely controlled by them.
The Void Evil God can create false souls, but they cannot give these souls common sense or make them appear normal. That's why they lazily implanted Jello's memories into them, thus speeding up the completion of their creation.
After completion, the original Jello's soul was shattered and his consciousness was erased, and Jello II truly arrived.
However, for unpredictable reasons, the consciousness of the First-Generation Jello seems not to have been completely eradicated, thus leaving these imprints on his soul.
The Second-Generation Jello, the Hero admired by the Skyvault Continent and the object of the Hero's Party's obsession, was the embodiment of evil from the very beginning. Everything was merely a disguise for the Second-Generation Jello. After that, everything that happened on the Skyvault Continent had nothing to do with the First-Generation Jello; his existence was tantamount to disappearing.
His goal is to hunt down Fate and Hero.
If the Hero can understand, then what is Fate?
According to the First-Generation Jello, when he was summoned, he seemed to hear a woman's voice and even had a feeling similar to passing through a time tunnel.
Qin Chu had never experienced any of these things; he had simply stayed up all night playing games and woke up to find himself in another world.
Who is that woman? Could she be the goddess imprisoned in the Void Prison? Qin Chu felt it couldn't be. A goddess under such strict confinement shouldn't have the ability to summon Hero from another world. Perhaps it's related to so-called Fate?
While the information gleaned from Jello's Soul Fragment resolved some of Qin Chu's doubts, it also aroused new suspicions.
For example, why wasn't the soul of the First-Generation Jello cleansed by the Void Evil God, and why did it awaken?
The true purpose of Second-Generation Jello was to hunt for Fate and Hero; fighting Magic Creature wasn't his real job. So why did he go and fight the Demon King one-on-one, and why did he die at the Demon King's hands?
Was the Second-Generation Jello really dead?
As a puppet of the Evil God, an incarnation of the Evil God, even the Demon King might not be able to do anything to the Second-Generation Jello. It feels like his death was a bit too hasty.
"There aren't any left," Ileta said quietly.
Are you satisfied with these answers?
Qin Chu nodded, then shook his head.
He wanted to know everything.
After glancing at Ileta, Qin Chu took out another Soul Fragment and handed it to Ileta.
Ileta didn't speak, but silently took it and, just like before, began to examine the imprint stored within the Soul Fragment.
This Soul Fragment is relatively small, and it doesn't contain much information.
Moreover, it seems there is some interruption between this one and the one we just saw.
A detached voice began to emerge from Ileta's lips:
"The more I look at this world, the worse it seems. All the people in this world are a bunch of lunatics; their souls are already filthy."
"Was that woman named Ekaterina? She had a pretty face and a hot, sexy figure, but her soul was filled with madness and filth, utterly repulsive."
"That man is just a Hero who was recently thrown into this world. He hasn't done anything, and he doesn't even know what's happening to him."
"Just because Jello... well, Second-Generation Jello, said this person would threaten his status as the Hero, he ruthlessly killed that man."
"She severed the neck of that terrified Hero..."
"Watching the blood gushing down her neck, she nestled against the Second-Generation Jello, her face twisted in a morbid smile. For that incarnation of the Evil God, for that so-called Jello, she was willing to do anything."
"I can sense that the Second-Generation Jello has a strong Desire for her, but he can't do anything about it. It must feel good to be able to only look but not touch, hahaha, serves him right."
"This is the thirty-seventh Hero to be slain..."
"The Fate of dog shit!"
Thirty-seven?
