"Is this Hundred-eyed Babbit strong enough to be called a Deity?" Tullas asked softly in amazement after hearing Ironclad Granny’s story.
Ironclad Granny glanced at Tullas and said, "Its true body is probably about as strong as Nami Midori, at the pinnacle of third-level Wizards. However, it possesses immense energy, but the efficiency it can exert is limited."
Tullas: "Even so, it’s quite strong. Granny, will Lord Pat face its hatred or revenge for killing the Hundred-eyed Babbit?"
Ironclad Granny paused for a moment and then laughed, "Oh, come now, if Angel isn’t worried, why are you?"
Mandhela, standing behind Tullas, chimed in lowly, "Exactly, you saw how cocky he was when he killed the Hundred-eyed Babbit; do you think he’d care? Besides, even if it sought revenge, he brought it on himself..."
Tullas scratched his head a bit sheepishly: "I’m just... worried for the Lord’s safety."
Ironclad Granny lightly laughed and shook her head, "Don’t worry, this Hundred-eyed Babbit doesn’t dare descend in person. Even if its divine descent ceremony is completed, it won’t hurt Angel. Moreover, I think Hundred-eyed Babbit hates not Angel, but more the Mirror Grudge that devoured its divine thought. So, you should worry about yourself."
Nis also nodded, chiming in mischievously, "Angel intends to let you fuse with the Mirror Grudge, so in the end, it’s not Angel the Babbit might hate, but you. Be careful, it’s you~"
"Huh??!" Tullas froze, wondering how the stage suddenly shifted under his feet.
Seeing Tullas’s bewildered expression, Angel couldn’t help but chuckle, patting his shoulder, "Don’t worry, as long as you become stronger than the Hundred-eyed Babbit, even if it comes for you, you’ll be fine."
Tullas: ... How could I possibly be stronger than a Deity?
"Why not follow me? I promise to keep you safe and even find you some pretty female undead," Nis had found Tullas quite useful lately, with his decent combat strength, and attempted to win him over.
However, Nis received no response, as if Tullas hadn’t heard a word, while Mandhela glared at Nis with malicious intent.
As the others teased Tullas into a daze, Ironclad Granny turned to Angel, "Regarding the matter of the Hundred-eyed Babbit, I’ll inform Tree Spirit later and have him contact the Extreme Sect. Though a Hundred-eyed Babbit isn’t much, we need to be cautious about its sneaking off the Feran Continent, and I’m sure the Extreme Sect will be willing to address the gap issue."
"Okay." Angel nodded, suddenly remembering something, "By the way, that Hundred-eyed Babbit seemed to emit a peculiar frequency with its eyes, which I suspect is some sort of special language, but I don’t know what it said. Granny, do you know?"
Earlier, when Angel created the Illusionary Realm, he reproduced the frequency, hoping someone might understand what it said.
Ironclad Granny dismissed it with disdain, "From a communication standpoint, it could be considered a language, but what it said was just nonsense, impotent rage, unremarkable. If you’re interested, you can search the special classifications in Cloudtop Library’s niche language section, but such details are trivial, and it’s fine whether you know or not."
Angel nodded in agreement; since Ironclad Granny said so, it was probably all nonsense.
After discussing the Hundred-eyed Babbit, everyone shifted their attention to the Mirror Grudge.
"After devouring the Hundred-eyed Babbit’s divine thought, the Mirror Grudge evolved to gain a Death Gas Materialization ability." Angel expressed concern, "Given this situation, can Tullas successfully devour the Mirror Grudge?"
Everyone’s eyes were on Nis, as he was the most knowledgeable about soul studies.
Nis thought for a moment, "That’s hard to say; it depends on whether the Mirror Grudge and Tullas have compatible parts in terms of Soul Force. Without seeing the Mirror Grudge in person, I can’t give a definitive answer."
Each soul, whether undead, life, or fallen undead, has unique soul power fluctuations. Nis needed to personally inspect the Mirror Grudge’s condition to make subsequent judgments.
Nis: "But generally speaking, I’m not too optimistic."
"The power gap between the Mirror Grudge and Tullas is too large; under normal circumstances, it’s hard to devour it unless there’s an extremely high compatibility, providing a slim chance for success. So, I personally recommend not being overly attached to the Mirror Grudge; you can find another special undead."
After his eloquent speech, Nis’s eyes shifted as he thought of something, "Oh, isn’t Little Sam in Star Lake Castle? Why don’t you take him to kill some people? With his special physique, maybe those killed will spawn a few vengeful special undead."
After Nis spoke, he realized everyone was staring at him silently, and he chuckled dryly, "It’s not about letting Little Sam kill randomly, but going to Central Empire’s death row prisons to kill those on death row."
Nis’s suggestion had a certain feasibility, but considering the realistic scenario, if special undead appeared and weren’t promptly controlled, it could lead to a huge catastrophe. Moreover, this was not suitable for Little Sam’s personal mental development.
"If you want special undead by having Little Sam kill people, that’s unwise." Ironclad Granny spoke.
As Wizards, killing a few people seems mundane, inconsequential.
But if Little Sam’s mind was planted with the evil seed of killing indiscriminately to achieve goals, once that seed sprouted, it could nurture a devil who disregards human values and kills innocents wantonly.
Should he become such a rampant devil, given Little Sam’s talent, it would be catastrophic for both the Wizards’ Realm and the mortal world.
"The Near Spirit Body has a unique talent requiring orderly guidance, not chaotic education," Ironclad Granny looked at Nis, "If you plan to continue such educational methods, Little Sam shouldn’t follow you for now."
Ironclad Granny’s words always carried weight; if she publicly stated this, Little Sam might truly leave.
So, as soon as Nis heard it, he immediately softened, his wrinkles gathering as he chuckled placatingly, "I’m just joking; Granny, don’t take it seriously. When Little Sam arrives at the Barbarian Cave, I’ll consult Old White and use the Academy Faction’s educational methods for Little Sam, ensuring I won’t lead him astray."
"Little Sam is still young and requires more guidance in shaping his views; I hope you provide proper guidance." Ironclad Granny nodded, resolving the issue temporarily.
Angel: "Speaking of, how should we understand the compatibility scenario Miss Wizard mentioned?"
Nis also wanted to end the topic about Little Sam quickly, and upon hearing Angel’s question, he promptly responded, "It’s quite simple; you can understand compatibility as the affinity for Soul Tricks or soul talent."
Just like humans, some are naturally inclined towards certain elements, making them extremely compatible or highly attuned to those elements.
Souls are similar.
Although all souls can learn Soul Tricks, different Soul Tricks have varying compatibility for different souls.
Nis: "If Tullas and the Mirror Grudge’s abilities have good compatibility, he might be able to devour the Mirror Grudge. But this possibility is low; the Mirror Grudge possesses these two abilities that are both special Soul Tricks, and Tullas may not have a high compatibility."
"Let’s not mention the death gas materialization for now, since we haven’t yet observed what special trait the Mirror Grudge’s death gas materialization has. But speaking of the mirror space alone, it’s a soul interference ability that involves the extremely mysterious Space Series. Do you think Tullas can accommodate the Space Series abilities?" Nis said as if it were self-evident. In his view, the probability of a soul engaging with space is exceedingly slim.
"So, let’s reconsider, the Mirror Grudge may not be suitable for Tullas."
Everyone nodded in agreement with Nis’s words, even Ironclad Granny concurred deeply.
However, at this moment, Angel suddenly spoke up, "I think there might still be a bit of a possibility."
Nis: "What possibility?"
Angel: "Um... have I perhaps not mentioned that Tullas was actually a Special Undead before?"
Nis: "I vaguely remember Sanders mentioning that Tullas was an undead, and that you had used the Samsara Overture’s White Light Bullet on him, but I didn’t realize he was a Special Undead before. However, what does that matter?"
"When Tullas was an undead, he actually had an innate ability, and that was—"
