Chapter 845 A World's Soul Contract
Chapter 845 A World's Soul Contract
From its looks and the mana it exuded, Lawrend could easily tell that it was severely weakened. It would die very quickly if a Sub-God attacked it.
Because of West, it was never able to start recovering from its previous injuries. Furthermore, the battle with West had also deepened its injuries.
"I want temporary control over this world, and I want you to follow me. I already have my own world and only need your help to defeat the Goddess."
Lawrend dictated his thoughts. He fearlessly stared at the eye.
"The Goddess wants to devour thee. Very well. Thee shall offer a Soul Contract."
A bright light escaped the eye and gathered into a golden scroll. Innumerable terms and conditions were written on it, and one particular line was written with blood.
"You cannot hurt the avatar of the Spirit World, huh? That is a fair term."
Lawrend could tell that this was what the avatar wanted the most. It was, after all, aware that Lawrend's limit was not his current stage. He could easily become more powerful, and it wouldn't be impossible for him to take over the world by himself.
The line had no time limit, meaning that Lawrend could not hurt the avatar of the Spirit World until the end of time, including the future when the Spirit World recovered his strength.
At its peak, the Spirit World was very strong. It was naturally formed in the universe and personally blessed by the Creator. Otherwise, it would be strange if he was weaker.
"Thy accepts these terms?"
The avatar waited for Lawrend's answer.
Lawrend mulled it over for a few seconds. He wasn't afraid of the avatar. He had a lot of confidence in his abilities, and he already had his world. He was much stronger in there, so even if the avatar came looking for trouble, he couldn't do anything much.
So, once he stepped into the Sub-God stage, Lawrend was confident that he would be at least as strong as a god in his world.
Once he becomes a God, he will definitely be able to defeat the avatar in his own world. He might even be stronger, given that Lawrend could always defeat others a stage above.
"I accept."
As soon as Lawrend finished speaking, a deep thud came from the core of the world. At the deepest part of the planet, a thought came into being—the avatar's soul.
It turned out that the avatar was not really here. It was deep in the core, and its soul extended upwards to the surface, touching the scroll.
Lawrend flew forward and placed his palm on its surface.
In that instant, a thunderous boom shook the whole Spirit World. Storms appeared out of nowhere, and the seasons changed rapidly—from spring to summer, to fall, and to winter.
The deep history and depth of the soul of a whole planet invaded Lawrend's soul. It was so heavy and full of memories. He gritted his teeth and endured the intense pain.
It felt like he was being skinned alive. The small part of the Spirit World's soul dissolved into his soul and altered its properties. From now on, he would always have the qualities of a planet in his soul. Your next chapter awaits on empire
This was unprecedented.
It was rare for a natural world to give birth to its avatar and soul, and it was even rarer for such a prideful being to enter into a Soul Contract with a lower being like Lawrend.
He once again saw the history of the whole planet, from its birth to the golden ages, which came and went, to the disaster after the battle with Alissaskiya Mgarikala Pearlokiero.
It was as if Lawrend had experienced them all himself. He opened his eyes, and clarity was reflected within. He had already turned these into knowledge that supported his soul, so it didn't affect his identity, unlike before.
As the Soul Contract finished, Lawrend looked up at the eye of the Spirit World.
And unlike its usual character, it spoke.
"Your destiny is intertwined with the Creator. I can see why he took a liking to you."
Lawrend quickly realized what happened. The Soul Contract gave a part of his soul to the Spirit World, allowing the Spirit World to learn how to speak like a modern person.
"Likewise, you are a noble being. Unfortunately, Alissaskiya Mgarikala Pearlokiero didn't understand that."
"She was not at fault. There were no worlds around us for her to control. A god without a world is a weak god who is not allowed to traverse the stars yet."
The avatar's voice sounded tired. It had endured many things in the past, and it was at its weakest.
"Is that so?"
Lawrend uttered while thinking of his own world.
"You have the permission now. Exercise your right to use both my world and your world to ascend to Sub-God."
Its voice was filled with hope and belief. Slowly, the eye vanished as if swallowed by the air.
Lawrend blinked his eyes and bowed. He was thankful for its help.
"Time to step this up."
The boundary of space around Lawrend rippled. Like a thick fog, a blurry image of his world's surface appeared around him.
His thoughts spread through the whole Spirit World. It reached every corner and every living being in it.
"I need your strength…"
An excessive amount of mana flowed from the horizon. The clouds quickly became mana rain, which transformed into mana stones and liquified again into a very thick liquid.
When the mana reached a hundred feet around him, it once again transformed. It became as runny as water and flowed like a tsunami toward Lawrend.
"With the Spirit World as the basis and my world as another, show me a new world!"
Upon Lawrend's declaration, a shocking change came over the whole Spirit World. Every being that existed learned of Lawrend's full name and his appearance, even if they had never encountered him.
The whole Spirit World would now come to know him as their God.
