Chapter584-The Land of Soul’s Slumber
Daniel and Isabella walked through the desolate land, a place of dead silence.
This was a realm of souls, a place that encompassed the souls of countless planes. The death realm that Daniel had previously experienced was akin to the [Death Realm] of the Land of Origin. But the [Land of Soul's Slumber] was different—it was a place where the souls of numerous planes wandered aimlessly.
At that moment, Daniel suddenly stopped and turned to Isabella, asking, "Isabella, according to your task, you need to personally kill Elizabeth and consume her soul in order to complete the task and ascend to godhood, right?"
Isabella nodded and replied, "That's right, my task is indeed like that."
"Then does it require consuming both her body and soul?" Daniel asked.
"Yes… that's correct," Isabella answered.
Daniel had already suspected as much, but he asked again to confirm, making sure everything was in place for the plan ahead.
"Alright, let's keep moving. I think we're getting closer according to the directions!" Daniel said, pointing to the token in Isabella's hand.
Isabella nodded, sensing the faint glow emanating from the token as they drew nearer.
About half an hour later, Daniel and Isabella finally found Elizabeth's soul. However, Elizabeth's soul appeared rather dazed. The passage of time had caused her to lose most of her memories, even her sense of self.
This was the nature of souls. Even though Elizabeth had been a powerful Demigod Rank while alive, once she became a soul, she too would slowly lose her self-awareness.
This was a rule established by the supreme will long ago. Even gods could not escape it. Therefore, even the most powerful gods would rarely step into the [Land of Soul's Slumber].
At this moment, Daniel turned to Isabella and asked again, "Can a soul in this condition be consumed?"
Isabella shook her head helplessly and replied, "No, it must be a living soul."
Daniel showed no surprise at her response, and continued, "What if she's alive, but in an abnormal state? Can she still be consumed?"
Isabella's answer was certain. "Yes, as long as she's alive, it's fine."
Daniel nodded and, without saying much more, drew the God of Thieves' dagger to create a copy of Elizabeth's soul. However, this time, Daniel did not directly resurrect the copy. Instead, he used [Mind Corruption] to completely corrupt the copied soul.
Once that was done, Daniel cast [Resurrection Spell].
In the next instant, two versions of Elizabeth appeared before Daniel and Isabella.
However, there was a clear difference between the two. One Elizabeth looked confused and lost, while the other was consumed by hysterical madness.
Daniel's reason for doing this was to learn from the mistake made with Kartora and Karlbira. Karlbira's tragedy had been caused by his negligence, and Daniel wanted to avoid repeating the same error. So, this time, he chose to first perform [Mind Corruption] on the copied soul, completely altering its mind.
For Elizabeth, this meant that she had "resurrected" and encountered a monstrous version of herself, a copy that looked just like her but was mentally twisted.
After completing this, Daniel turned to Isabella again and asked, "I need to create a similar copy. Do you have any objections?"
Now that Isabella understood Daniel's plan, she smiled after a brief silence and said, "If it's like that, then I'm all for it!"
"Thank you, little brother!"
Daniel nodded, using the God of Thieves' dagger and [Mind Corruption] once more to create a twisted copy of Isabella.
At the first opportunity, he placed both of the mad copies in the time corridor. After all, in the time corridor, everything could be controlled, and Daniel had the ability to handle any unforeseen issues.
Simultaneously, Elizabeth and Isabella, the two sisters, also entered the time corridor.
After thousands of years apart, the sisters were finally reunited. But at this moment, their expressions were complex.
However, at this point, neither of them said anything.
Suddenly, Isabella spoke to Daniel, "Little brother, you may not be aware, but in the domain of seduction, there can only be one god. Therefore, my sister and I cannot both exist as gods."
"Whether I live or my sister lives, neither of us can become a true god."
Daniel heard this and smiled confidently. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, I have a way to solve this."
His confidence made both Elizabeth and Isabella look at him with admiration and affection.
In this world, there had always been no shortage of young women admiring powerful figures. For these sisters, who possessed extraordinary beauty, they had never felt safe, and they harbored an unspoken admiration for a powerful figure like Daniel.
As a result, both sisters nodded in unison, "Little brother (Crossbridge-sama), we believe in you."
After all, since the Awakening Ceremony, Daniel had performed countless miracles. Even though, on the surface, some things seemed nearly impossible, if Daniel was the one doing it, perhaps it truly was possible.
Meanwhile, Daniel guided Isabella deep into the time corridor, while he brought Elizabeth back to the City of Luck.
At this moment, Daniel's gaze was on Elizabeth. Thanks to the effect of the [Clock of Fate], he saw her fate undergo a genuine change.
[Destiny 5: Merge with Isabella and become a god.]
It seemed that her fate could be altered by his actions.
Daniel pondered for a moment before telling Elizabeth about everything that had transpired over the past few days.
For Elizabeth, obtaining sufficient information allowed her to form a general understanding of the current situation.
After absorbing this information, Elizabeth's gaze toward Daniel became more complicated.
"Elizabeth, I can help you become a god. But before that, I need you to sign a contract with me."
Elizabeth did not refuse Daniel's request. A faint smile appeared on her flawless face.
"Crossbridge-sama, it's been such a long time."
"I never imagined that after all these years, you would once again come to my aid."
"Honestly, I never thought that I would live again one day."
"By the way, I never had the chance to repay you for your help last time. And... the current situation is indeed quite dangerous."
