Soul Bewilderment Angel

The Dark Lord looked at the Soul Stripping Fragment in his hand, delighted. He laughed. "Fine, go study it. Josiah, take Mr. Sean to the rebirth pools. You must satisfy any request he makes."

"Yes, Lord." After a Twelve-winged Dark God Angel bowed to the Dark Lord, he turned to Sean and respectfully said, "Mr. Sean, this way, please."

Whether angels or those implanted with Soul Seeds, aside from their loyalty to their master or Sovereign, they were no different from ordinary people in other respects. They also admired the strong, and Paragon Highgods were the most powerful God-level beings in heaven and earth. Naturally, they treated him with great respect.

"Lord, I'll take my leave first." Sean gave a slight bow, then left with the angel Joshua.

The Angel Rebirth Pools were not far from the Dark Lord's palace, and they arrived before long.

Joshua introduced the place. "Mr. Sean, there are sixty-four Dark Angel Rebirth Pools here. The two in the very center are ones the Lord has instructed you not to touch casually. The others are no problem."

"The two in the center are for creating Twelve-Winged Divine Angels?" Sean asked.

"Yes. Angel Rebirth Pools are divided into three types, corresponding to Highgod Angels, Mid God Angels, and Lower God Angels. The Lord places particular importance on those two Highgod Angel Rebirth Pools, the ones for Twelve-Winged Holy Angels."

"Fine, I won't touch them." Sean did not dwell on it. He immediately picked out a somewhat smaller pool and walked over.

A strange yet heart-palpitating energy radiated from around the rebirth pool. It was even more peculiar than a Sovereign Artifact. Even when his divine sense probed its surface, it could not penetrate even the slightest bit.

An eerie pattern surrounded the pool. Sean studied it for a long while but could not make sense of it. He then recorded it with his divine sense, while his divine clone in the Material Plane inscribed every line of the pattern.

In the center of the pool was a vast amount of Dark Lord God Power, like a lake.

"I have absolutely no clue." After watching for a while, Sean's divine power surged, forming a hill several meters high nearby, with a chair atop it.

After flying up, Sean closed his eyes and began observing the various rebirth pools. He was waiting. Perhaps when an angel formed, he might be able to see something.

On the grass outside Sean's palace in the Azure Origin Plane, another pool had already appeared, with the patterns he had just copied surrounding it.

His divine sense spread out and locked onto Breler, who was conducting all sorts of strange experiments. "Breler, come over."

"Yes." Breler hurriedly replied.

When he arrived shortly afterward, before he could say anything, the pool beside him drew his attention.

Sean smiled and asked, "Is this pattern a Magic Array?"

"This..." Breler stared at it for a long time, seemingly absorbed by it. "It looks somewhat like one, yet not quite, because I cannot understand any of these patterns at all. But it feels like they were not drawn at random.

I have felt this way before. Many years ago, I researched Teleportation Arrays, but after countless hundreds of millions of years, I still gained nothing. In the end, I had no choice but to give up."

"These are the patterns surrounding the Angel Rebirth Pools in the Dark God Realm. In theory, they should be on the same level as Teleportation Arrays." Sean said, "Study them when you have the time."

He did not really expect either himself or Breler to figure anything out. In his understanding, just like the Laws of Space and Time, the power of the Supreme Gods was something Sovereigns and God-level beings could not grasp.

But Innate Divine Abilities could display portions of the powers of time and space, and they could be studied. That gave them a sliver of hope. There was no need to understand the true principles; as long as they could uncover a little superficial knowledge and use it, that would be enough.

Of course, this idea was extraordinarily difficult. Destiny Master Orloff was an obsessive researcher, yet even in the original story, Sean had never seen him display any special ability in the end. He probably had not succeeded either.

For now, this was merely an attempt. Time was endless; whether Sovereigns or Paragons, they had to find something to do.

Several thousand years later, in the Dark God Plane:

Sean watched the pool's surface churn with black light as an Eight-Winged Angel was born before him.

"Well? Did you figure anything out?" the Dark Lord beside him asked with a smile.

Sean shook his head. "No. I cannot understand it at all. I'm completely lost."

The Dark Lord laughed. "Haha, you have only watched for several thousand years. I have watched for who knows how many trillions of years, and it has been of no use either. The power of the Supreme Gods is probably not something people like us can master."

"Perhaps." Sean could only agree.

Breler, in the Material Plane, had also researched it for several thousand years without making even the slightest progress. But there was no helping it; what he did not understand, he simply did not understand.

The Dark Lord asked again, "Do you plan to continue researching it?"

Sean shook his head. "No. There is no point in continuing like this. I'm preparing to leave and return to the Netherworld."

"Haha, Lady Death Sovereign sent me a message a few days ago as well, asking me to send you back." The Dark Lord laughed. "She probably wants to spar with you over the Death Rule. Sparring with Paragons like you is something many Sovereigns wish to do."

Sean asked, "Lord, among the Sovereigns of heaven and earth, has any ever broken through to Paragon during a spar with one?"

"No. How could it be so easy? We do this only because we harbor a trace of fantasy. In truth, everyone knows the possibility is minuscule. But even if we cannot break through to Paragon, perhaps we can still make a slight breakthrough in some other aspect," the Dark Lord said.

Sean nodded. "Indeed. It is still better than having no opportunity at all."

The Dark Lord continued, "Before I send you back, I hope you will try one more thing."

As he spoke, several Twelve-Winged Divine Angels brought over an unconscious Twelve-Winged Divine Angel.

"What is this?" Sean was somewhat puzzled.

The Dark Lord said, "You previously asked whether, if a Dark Lord God dissolved his contract with an Angel Rebirth Pool, those angels could still be Soul Bewildered.

We tried this countless years ago. It did not work. But you are the first Paragon in heaven and earth, so perhaps you may be different. Give it a try. If it does not work, then forget it. I would also like to know.

This Twelve-Winged Angel is a free one."

"Alright." Sean knew this might be a rare opportunity for him, so his eyes immediately shot out a gray beam of light.

The gray light instantly entered the Dark Angel's body and rushed directly toward his mind. Deep within his mind was an energy similar to that of a rebirth pool, but when it encountered the energy of the Soul Pearl, it was immediately torn apart.

Seeing that it had succeeded, Sean immediately began searching the other party's memories. Very quickly, he found the information he sought: the Twelve-Winged Divine Angel in the Sovereign's memories within the Soul Pearl.
