Chapter 361: One-sided love

The husband's only ability from the Death God's energy was related to the soul. He could send souls back to the death god and help Xaya with her duties as Death God's disciple. This ability became something else after he became the death god.

He could store souls and possibly bargain those souls with other gods. That was one of the concepts that Akaro and Kyoya had discussed already. They were too weak to discuss these matters with the gods, but Kyoya had developed more abilities related to the soul to not stop his development as Hybrid.

He forced all these developments, though. "It means I don't have a cure for what is going to happen to you," Kyoya smiled at his opponents, then broke his speed limits. It was the only aspect he excelled at.

The husband's knife left a clean blue trail, then cut through the ice believer's skin! The freezing wound had additional poison that slowed down one's movements. The blood fountained, then the husband's knife left a few more slashes across the man's whole arm.

The dude lost one limb, but his ice concepts weren't idle either. Though lacking in speed, the ice cloud had reached the husband and spread itself as fast as possible.

Kyoya's whole torso became frozen, but he held well with his Ice Resistance!

The man sneered, "Not bad! You must have some treasure, but I think losing a torso is more threatening, right?"

The husband replied, "Losing your real form is more threatening, right?"

"What do you mean?" Real form meant their race... Many of those adventurers had different races and their human forms were basically what Akaro could take. If they lost their real form, then wouldn't they lose themselves?

No one had ever spoken such words, so not only Kyoya's wounded opponent reacted with stupor, but the rest of the adventurers and believers. They all hovered their eyes on the husband with horrific expressions, demanding an answer! If Kyoya kept them in suspense for too long, their feelings would push them forward to catch him at any cost.

Or maybe they would just escape out of fear? But who would give up on such inheritance? Many questions and thoughts bloomed within those people, then Kyoya's words rang out, "This man's soul... has been altered by me." The Sixth Death God had humans under his jurisdiction. It was a job that forced one to toil their way through many human souls, but also other races as they could possibly have died with human forms.

The husband reached an ability that altered the souls. In a human form, one would have a 'human soul'. In the true form, one would have a different kind of soul. The husband altered that and the man's wound and its blood oozing out of it weren't the worst consequences of the slash.

His altered soul was.

"Ridiculous!" The wounded raised his voice with an incredulous expression! He then took a few steps back, then his body flooded with the familiar feeling. It was a unique feeling that would soon turn him back to his true form.

But to his deepest fear, the man's true form didn't happen. He stood in a human form and looked at his human hands with anguish and dismay... "No... This can't be... No..." The man lost his balance, hit the ground with his knees, then tears tumbled down his face. How could he face his family and people right now?

Would they accept this? What about his descendants? Would their souls be altered as well?

The husband replied, "Their souls would be altered as well." These words were the final nail to the coffin.

The wounded bowed, hit the ground with his forehead and begged, "SAVE ME! PLEASE! I AM SO SORRY!"

"Didn't I say that I can not undo it?" Kyoya shrugged. By the time he said these words, the flamethrower was already above him. The flames poured down on him, then cleaned him from the ice poison.

Looking fine and restored, the husband took a step forward with the smile blooming on his face. A few specks of flames still slithered around him, showing off that the flame sisters' support was still rattling.

The husband then rushed at another man, "His soul is altered. Killing me won't change it. Besides, the scratch is needed." The last words were lies, but many believed the husband who hurtled himself at stronger people without fear and huge confidence in him.

One by one, many began to escape the husband while other brave people decided to take a risk. A lot of them also wouldn't mind losing true form. In the human form, life was more comfortable and well... If you wanted to do deer people as the fox man, you would rather do it in either human form or half-human form.

The same went for all other races! The human form was that... good!

"I can make you lose human form too, idiots," Kyoya whispered, his words drumming within every brave believer and adventurer. In less than five seconds, all of them disappeared from the ice tower and left him alone with the flame sisters.

Akaro and Xiaoxiao both had different reactions. While the tsundere goddess only nodded, Xiaoxiao was laughing out loud so much that it felt like her voice melted the ice tower's walls a little.

In the end, the most charming form was either the human form or half human form with cat ears and tails. Akaro understood that, so she nodded. Of course, her human form had divine beauty, so there was also that...

The divine cat would rather leave a grand and majestic impression only, but Akaro was already the lady who had fallen deeply in love. Thus, she couldn't think much of this cat form as it wouldn't bring her 'the closest' to the husband unlike what the human form could and arguably would do in the future!

Xiaoxiao wanted to tease that, but she spared the goddess and the couple returned to the ice tower's peak.

They rested and restored their energies, "Altering souls... This is the ability I reached... I believe I should be able to use it more flexibly, but for now I am content." The husband spoke about his abilities and shared some secrets with Xiaoxiao who had seen it for the first time.

If he had to be honest, then the husband wasn't that confident in his ability. He had a lot to train, but it worked, so he was glad and satisfied with his powers. The husband's joy was shared by Xiaoxiao who already could imagine their adventure going all the way to the floor where her sister should be located.

There was a chance that Xiaoxiao's sister could go up higher, but Xiaoxiao wasn't worried at all.

"More naive people go up here... Let's scare them or scare and defeat at the same time," The husband smiled and the party continued their inheritance conquest!

"I have... already comprehended this concept... My insight was lacking, but I have an edge here," The Ice Master whispered, then completed the last challenge that separated him from the ice tower's peak.

The tower was in the middle and probably the strongest, so his smile was wide and honest. What was also shocking was that the Ice Master completed those challenges without any love which was the system the Ice Divine left for the husband to help him.

The Ice Master just smashed each challenge with the woman following him like the servant. Her presence, just like before, was outstanding support! But what was their relationship? One must know that this woman had never allowed this man to touch her, but her existence was what The Ice Master treated with utmost care... and also love.

One-sided love to be exact!

On the top, the Ice Master comprehended the insight that strengthened his concepts, made him stronger and allowed him to grasp the control over the whole Ice Divine's Inheritance! The other tower trembled and bent, bringing itself closer to the Ice Master who stepped on it with arrogance blooming in his eyes.

However, he turned around and looked at the Ice Beauty, "This tower is occupied by someone. We will clean them later..." He spoke carefully and overwhelmingly nicely, so his people looked at the Ice Master with weird eyes.

They also exchanged glances to check the shock within their eyes.

'Yep, it's the same.' No matter how many times they would hear this kind of tone, they still would get the same shock.

The woman remained expressionless, but did something rare. So rare that the shock of the Ice Master's people faded away on the spot.

She said, "I want to go here." She spoke! She spoke with a chilling voice that froze the men's hearts. Their eyes glued to that speaking face and they felt like falling in love again and again!

The Ice Master narrowed his eyes... "Give me... some time and we will go here."
