Chapter 2118 Soul Puppet
When the level 94 expert, who had recently joined the empire after Veora was incorporated into Minos' forces, said his words, all the experts watching the experiment looked at him.
Minos remembered the methods he was taught by the curse in this area of Albano and asked. 'Which method? What exactly do you have in mind?'
The man explained. 'The ancients have developed cultivation techniques compatible with these bones' strange energy. Among them, I think two types of ancient methods might work to stabilize Titus' soul temporarily.
The first is something that looks like a transmutation technique. It's hazardous and involves a very high level of spiritual transformation. Titus would have to be in control while Your Majesty would guide him. The risk of this method is spiritual disfigurement... In short, Titus might stop being a Nine-Tailed Fox and become a new creature if this method works. After that, the world might or might not recognize him, which might cause some kind of Lightning Tribulation...'
Another expert asked, 'What about the second method?'
'You're not thinking of the soul puppet technique, are you?
'That's right.' The level 94 man nodded in agreement while everyone else looked at Minos with concern.
This method was one of the oldest of the Ancient Folk, one that involved the loss of freedom of the party being manipulated by the technique. Soul Puppet was a technique for at least two people to use, a method that would turn its target into a puppet of the controlling user.
'Soul Puppet can give stability to Titus' soul if it really works.' The Demigod from Veora said to everyone, looking at Minos. 'Titus will never be able to have his freedom again and will become a slave to Your Majesty. But this might work to save his life. Thïš êššëñçë ïš šëçürëlÿ ëmbëddëd ïn n0v&lb¡n★
I would use Soul Ppuppet if anyone here wants to know my opinion. This technique will only depend on Your Majesty, so your chances of success will be greater.'
Minos understood the expert's opinion and felt it made much sense. 'However, we'll let Titus decide.'
Then, he quickly explained the options they had under the circumstances.
'I won't be able to control anything. I'll trust you, Minos.' Titus said quickly, choosing the option that would make him a living puppet.
Willow felt this as she tried to control her curiosity so she wouldn't stop what she was doing and look at what was happening to Minos. 'That feeling... This looks like a weird level 98 monster!'
Henry also realized that the person behind this was Minos and that this technique would be able to put him on the same level as a level 98 Demigod while he was using it.
However, he kept his curiosity to himself, thinking he would have to talk to Minos about this in the future.
Amid this, everyone else in the Spatial Kingdom looked at Minos strangely, feeling a colossal power coming from his direction but also a great reverence for him, as if he had ceased to be a 'mortal' like them at that moment.
"Your Majesty..." Several people murmured as the body of Minos' soul projection pulsed, and a special pentagram materialized in front of one of his hands, pointing at Titus.
'Let's start with the Soul Puppet, Titus. If it doesn't work...'
'I know. Don't worry. I'll be fine even if I die.' Titus confirmed for the last time.
With these words, Minos activated the technique, feeling too much pain to do so himself but going all the way as the pentagram connected him and Titus.
Soul Puppet!
The space around Titus distorted, the energy around him turning blood red and his body glowing intensely white.
The pentagram passed through him as if he were made of nothing, pushing his soul out of his body.
While this was happening, Minos made a hand seal, connecting the extreme points of Titus' essence to himself while connecting the body to the old fox's soul.
Once this was done, the result could not be changed.
A glow exploded from Titus' position, causing the entire Spatial Kingdom to glow for a second as if a star had blinked one last time before dying.
