Chapter 279: The Soul Heart
Chapter 279: The Soul Heart
'Domination Soul,' plus, his new basic godly skill didn't have ANY kind of cooldown, so he immediately decided to use it.
Fwish! Ding!
[Your soul is being designed, please wait…]
"Oh?"
As stated before, every soul is different from the other, meaning much like talents or domination weapons, each was unique and based on the host's feeling and intentions.
If he could remember right: his mother's in this world was pink, with hearts surrounding it, while his father's was black, with occasional zaps of lightning.
His brother's was yellow with a lasso around it, and his sister's was red with pulsating veins.
Basically: all hearts were indeed different.
[…]
[…]
[….
[Creation of 'Soul Heart' is complete! You can now summon it!]
"Alright!"
"Domination Soul," he used his skill again, and something materialized in front of him, or more like in front of the exact spot his normal human heart should be.
It was obviously crimson in color, was beating strongly, the sound echoing in Stark's ears.
But… what made it so different from the others… was the face at the front.
All his heart had was a white mouth and eyes that kept smiling like this: =) but vertically.
It was basically acting like his clone, and now that Stark thought about it, the face was so similar it was weird and also couldn't be a coincidence either.
In the end though, what his soul heart looked like didn't matter.
Ding!
[You soul heart laughs, ready to smash his enemies!]
And just as this appeared, and crimson stringe appeared in each of the heart's sides, going directly into Stark's hands, meaning he was able to grab them.
"This is…" he could move his heart using those almost invisible strings.
Instinctively though, Stark ready the panel again.
'Smash his enemies…?'
Of course, soul hearts are all different, and it meant their abilities were as well: because while how you used your heart can be decided by you, there was still a limit based on it could or couldn't do from its basic perks.
And Stark's heart…
Fwish! BOOOOOOOM!
Stark's used the strings to spin around smash his heart on the ground three meters away from him, which seemed to be the limit, and unexpectecly, not only did it create a small crater, but the domination aura followed to create a small crimson explosion too.
'HOLY!' that thing was powerful, Stark could see it!
But wait a minute… doesn't that mean that he just got a weapon?
I mean, if [Domination Soul] is directly from [Domination]'s aura, then it meant his attacks and this skill used the same amount of aura to be cast, and so this also meant that he could use it as a weapon without any drawbacks, RIGHT?!
He had only been using his fists until now, so the idea of actually being able to fight with something else was terrifying.
Yes, this was a short-ranged weapon that couldn't even go beyond the three meters mark because of the size of the strings, meaning that it was essentially fists but upgraded and did more damage, but who cares!
He would also need to adapt his control over it, since using fists meant he was able to do whatever he wanted, but with his soul heart he still needed to control it and the strings to move it around meaning the chance to be hit.
[If your soul heart is hit, it will disintegrate to protect itself, and only will be usable after three minutes!]
This was surprising: this usually doesn't happen at all to not a single one of the other soul wielders!
Other [Soul Wielders] all have hearts obviously, and they also fight with them, but there wasn't anything as restrictive as their heart disappearing every time it was hit: otherwise, opponents could just aim at it to make it disappear and thus render their users weak.
Not at all, this wasn't what happened, instead, Soul Hearts actually have way more HP than their users, taking several dozens of hits to begin to corrupt, and then if it receives too much damage then it disintegrates, which is why their host's themselves decide to remove them and think about strategies to survive.
If a [Soul Wielder]'s heart doesn't disintegrate even after receiving too much damage, and it is hit, then there is a chance that it can be destroyed = literal instant death of the soul for its host.
I mean, [Soul Hearts] are basically your hfearts, so it made sense.
Maybe it was to put an EXTRA layer of protection on Stark that it disappeared after one hit? After all he still had other classes, so risking it for [Soul Wielder] wasn't a good idea at all!
Smash! Boom! Smash! Boom:
Stark tried several times to attack in different ways, either smashing directly to ground, an explosion following, or trying to do some sort of combo with it, but not having a clear target didn't help, meaning that using the [Memories Museum] would be useful in this case.
'Alright, time to go,' Stark nodded as he took a step forward.
But right at that moment…
'Heh?' his head began to hurt like hell, and so in single vibration of pain that was sent through his entire body, he fell unconscious.
Yes, he couldn't even find it: vibration of pain, then instant knockdown as his body fell, hitting the ground with the water, his face half submerged under the water., though thankfully his nose was out of it.
'What the hell?'
It was like all his exhaustions from before had actually finally kicked in once he saw his class and relaced, the domination adrenaline that was constantlty pumping through his body catching up to him.
He had just met the [The Great Serpent], a universal level 800 apostle, his aura overwhelming Stark to the point all he thought about was to run, and then he met the rest of the apostles and the [Godless Demon], which would already made most people go unconscious.
Then he was forced to fight some insane monster with immortal abilities and berserker strength, even killing him once and coming back to life, forcing Stark to literally [Execute] it to kill it for good.
Oh, and by the way, that [Execution] of Stark, the one where he jumped on the ape's neck and used its own sword piercing the back of its head to decapitate it, had already been sent to people in the ouside world, screens all over the world now playing the start of fight between Stark and the ape as it displayed everything.
[Classifier S vs Guardian Ape] was the name, and they were currently at the halfway point, even Lana and Sora watching right now, both already recognizing who the boy in the video was simply by his hair and figure.
Surely the world would go on a frenzy when the [Execution] actually happened, because even he knew that what he did was probably insanely cool.
But until then…
Thud!
Stark fell, sleeping.
…
This time, there wasn't any particular setting for when he woke up in the black void, [Alchemist] and [Domination], who now had a small beating heart in front of his chest in addition to his crimson aura body with golden strands and the golden halo above his head.
He had indeed merged with [Soul Wielder].
"Almost makes me feel left out," but it was indeed that alchemist was the only one who couldn't be absorbed.
