Xiya was consumed by rage and wanted to kill Mr. Azik at all costs to vent her anger.

Although these Incitement remarks were not made by Mr. Azik, she didn't know the other person, so naturally the blame should be placed on Mr. Azik.

Ignoring the lingering Death Authority within her and the disappointed looks around her, Xiya rushed into the Spirit World without hesitation, preparing to continue her pursuit of Mr. Azik.

After Xiya left, the members of the Numinous Episcopate spoke up.

Do you regret choosing to risk your life for such a person?

These words were naturally directed at Xiya's former "Confidant".

The person being asked nodded, then shook his head, without saying anything, leaving the others unable to determine his meaning.

"Elder Haiter was the high priest of the Death God Church back then; no one surpassed him in faith in Death God."

"Logically speaking, with another genius emerging from His Highness Death God's family, it should be only natural for him to take over the Numinous Episcopate."

"However, in order to stop the Royalist Faction's decision, Elder Haiter went so far as to split the Numinous Episcopate and establish the Artificial God of Death Faction, which shows Haiter's dissatisfaction with Xiya."

The person who said this was naturally a member of the Artificial God of Death Faction, but most of the things involved were made up by him.

Haiter established the Artificial God of Death Faction primarily to welcome Salinger's return.

Of course, it's also true that he looks down on Xiya. She has great strength but nothing else, yet she insists on monopolizing power.

SLR Xiya chose a parliamentary-style method of governance, like Will's; Haiter didn't even go that far.

Even some of the most die-hard Royalist Faction were swayed by the analysis of this Artificial God of Death Faction.

After the fall of the Balam Empire, it was thanks to Haiter's protection that the members of the Eggers Family have survived to this day.

If Haiter intended to seize power, he could have done so much earlier; there was no need to wait until now.

So Xiya is probably really not a good match.

Of course, it's impossible to get them to support Haiter, but His Highness Azik is clearly the most suitable choice.

Just as this member of the Artificial God of Death Faction was talking animatedly, a hand suddenly reached out from behind him and grabbed the back of his head.

Before anyone could react, this member was reduced to ashes.

The one who suddenly appeared was none other than Xiya.

She had originally gone to pursue Azik and Kronos, but after entering the Spirit World, she couldn't sense any trace of their presence, so she had no way to continue the pursuit.

When she returned, she overheard the words of the Artificial God of Death Faction Reaper, and in a fit of anger, she immediately took action.

The Death Pathway is inherently a ruthless Pathway, because death is inherently cold.

Therefore, in the Fourth Epoch Age, apart from the already insane Tudor, the most Tyrant was Salinger.

As the Pale Emperor, Xiya was naturally not a person with a good temper.

Even so, Xiya rarely killed members of the Numinous Episcopate.

Today, Mr. Azik's appearance and the seed planted by Kronos have pushed Xiya's anger to an uncontrollable level.

That's why they chose to take direct action.

Seeing that Xiya had killed someone without any mercy, the crowd instantly fell silent.

In Xiya's view, her ruthless methods had worked, and as long as she continued in this way, she would eventually be able to subdue these people.

But she didn't know the saying, "Where there is oppression, there is resistance."

Xiya's Error will only cause her more trouble later.

As for Kronos and Mr. Azik, the reason Xiya didn't find them was mainly because they were no longer in the Spirit World.

Entering the Spirit World step by step, if it were through other Pathway, one might lose their way. However, this is impossible for the Death Pathway and the Door Pathway, because their relationship with the Spirit World is too close.

The reason why Xiya couldn't find them was because after they entered the Spirit World, they were transferred to the Darkened Heaven by Amanises.

To avoid being exposed to the Numinous Episcopate, Amanises quietly replaced the Artificial God of Death.

Therefore, she did not intend to reveal her power to the Numinous Episcopate.

But once the two entered the Spirit World, Amanises wouldn't need to worry about so much.

Unless Xiya sees it with her own eyes, she cannot perceive Amanises's power.

So when Xiya chased into the Spirit World, Kronos and Azik were already standing in front of Amanises.

Amanises held two things in his hands: the Uniqueness of Death God and half of Mr. Azik's soul.

Kronos could clearly sense that this half of his soul had been deeply corrupted by the authority of death.

The reason Mr. Azik didn't want to directly merge with his own soul was because the power of this half of the soul surpassed that of the half within him.

Once Mr. Azik chooses to merge, the control of his Consciousness will completely fall into the hands of this half-soul.

After all, this half-soul possesses a greater power of authority stemming from the coldness and Uniqueness of the Death Consul of Death.

Kronos glanced at the half-soul and then asked, "Mr. Azik, don't you regret it? If you had directly fused with this half-soul, your power would definitely not be weaker than Xiya's."

Mr. Azik laughed and said, "The strength is indeed considerable, but am I still myself?"

Yes, many high-ranking powerful individuals, after successfully mastering power, seek ways to retain "themselves".

In other words, those who are born Angel do not have this problem, such as Amon, Ouroboros, and Medici.

These people were divine rather than human from the very beginning, which is why they didn't have that kind of trouble.

Amanises nodded, then said, "If you're not going to change your mind, then I'm going to take action."

To restore Mr. Azik to normal, not only must half of his soul be separated from Death God's Uniqueness, but the soul within his own body must also be dealt with.

After Salinger split Mr. Azik's soul, he still chose a replacement for him; otherwise, Mr. Azik would not have survived to this day.

Those were bird-shaped gold ornaments, relics of the previous Grim Reaper, the progenitor of the Phoenix, Greta Garley.

However, separating this is not so difficult; Amanises can do it without relying on any other power.

Seeing that Mr. Azik had nodded in agreement, Amanises tossed the other half of the soul to Kronos, saying, "Deal with it as soon as possible."

Kronos nodded, then seized half of Mr. Azik's soul.

Mr. Azik was also curious about which method Kronos would choose, so he stared intently at Kronos.

Kronos made no attempt to hide anything, after all, they would be allies from now on.

An invisible river appeared around Kronos.

Mr. Azik looked at the long river with great curiosity.

Mr. Azik had witnessed the invisible torrent of Information; he Oldest One thought that Kronos intended to use the power of the Hermit Pathway.

But after thinking about it for a moment, I realized that this Pathway wouldn't help me.

After careful observation, they discovered the unusual nature of this long river; it was definitely not the power of the Hermit Pathway.

First, there is no representative Information about the Hermit Pathway in the long river of information.

Secondly, Mr. Azik sensed an unfamiliar power in the river, unlike any of the twenty-two Paths of the Divine.

Mr. Azik cautiously extended his hand and placed it within the range of the River of Time, instantly understanding what kind of power it was.

If Mr. Azik hadn't been an Angel, his hand would have aged rapidly in that instant.

After Mr. Azik sensed the Power of Time, he turned to Amanises and asked, "Is this the power of New Life authority?"

Although it was a question, the tone of his voice was firm.

Azik also had a very deep understanding of the power of authority, so he could sense that this was not a fleeting power, but a power with deep roots and a source.

Amanises knew he couldn't hide it from Azik, so he didn't deny it and simply nodded.

The New Life authority could drive countless Angel Archangel mad.

But Mr. Azik was only surprised for a moment, and then showed no other emotion.

After summoning the River of Time, Kronos gently placed Mr. Azik's soul into it, letting it be washed away by the river.

Kronos, however, kept his eyes fixed on the souls in the river.

We must be careful, otherwise, the slightest mistake could cause Mr. Azik's soul to vanish completely.

Of course, Kronos doesn't need to be too demanding.

If the corruption of the Death Authority can be successfully removed, Azik's own half of his soul will be able to prevail.

Although it may still have some impact on Mr. Azik's personality, Mr. Azik himself will surely be able to adjust.

If it could be controlled better, allowing this half of the soul to completely return to its childhood or Infant, it would have no effect on Mr. Azik.

It's just that it's difficult. In the River of Time, if you're not careful, hundreds of years may have passed. It's really hard to control it in your childhood.

Therefore, Kronos watched intently, ready to withdraw at any moment.

Because this half of the soul is blessed with Uniqueness authority, the River of Time has a relatively small effect on it, but it still has some effect nonetheless.

After persisting for Three Minutes, time in the soul regressed by nearly two thousand years, surpassing the point in time that was stitched together with Uniqueness.

After that point, the efficiency of the River of Time increased dramatically, since Mr. Azik was now an Angel on par with Kronos.

Not long after, time rewound another thousand years, arriving at the most crucial moment.

After much deliberation, Kronos decided not to take too much risk and retrieved Kronos 'Azik soul when time was almost up.

The timing was also excellent; Mr. Azik was less than twenty years old at this point, so it wouldn't have any impact.

After completing this series of actions, Kronos returned the half of the soul to Amanises.

Amanises took the half of the soul, examined it briefly, and nodded with satisfaction.

Once Azik recovers, her power will reach new heights.

Amanises then turned to look at Kronos and said, "Are you ready? I'm about to make my move."

Everything is ready. Once Amanises successfully extracts the Bird-Shaped Golden Ornament, he can easily place the half of the soul inside, achieving twice the result with half the effort.

Mr. Azik, who was already prepared, naturally nodded in agreement.

Amanises gently extended his palm and placed it on Azik's forehead. Soon, a bird-shaped golden ornament appeared on his forehead.

Amanises clenched his fist, gripping the Bird-Shaped Golden Ornament tightly, then slowly pulled his arm back, tearing the Ancient object from the crack in Azik's forehead.

Azik's expression instantly Distortion, as if he were enduring unimaginable Affliction.

Within every drop of his blood and every muscle, a trace of spirit seeps out, weaving together to form a transparent soul.

This soul appears complete and without any defects, yet it is filled with discordant contradictions, because half of it is golden yellow, from its eyebrows and eyes to its Torso and limbs, possessing an ancient and rustic beauty.

As the Bird-Shaped Golden Ornament was pulled out, Azik's translucent spirit began to split from the middle, inch by inch, as if his skin was being peeled off alive with a knife.

He made another inhuman gurgling sound in his throat, which made Klein, who was far away, feel dizzy and throbbing, as if steel needles were churning wildly in his brain.

In just a few seconds, Azik's spirit body was completely split in two. One half turned into a golden stream of light and entered the eye of the bird-shaped ornament, while the other half returned to his body.

Seizing this opportune moment, Amanises threw the other soul directly into Azik's body.

Since they are originally from the same source, there is naturally no repulsion between them.

In an instant, Mr. Azik's original half of soul enveloped this half of soul, preparing to merge directly into one.

Mr. Azik took both souls back into his body, and they gradually merged with his flesh and blood.

The two Pale Flame in Azik's eyes went out, the white feathers and black scales that had grown on his body disappeared, and the Distortion in his expression eased, making him less ferocious.

That's all that outsiders could do; the rest is up to Mr. Azik himself.

After all, it's a soul that hasn't returned to its body for thousands of years, so it always needs some time to digest it.

So Mr. Azik did not open his eyes, but stood there, gradually digesting his soul.
