Soul Of Negary

There weren't too many people on the main road, and the showering small rain made it difficult for anyone to want to go out.

Negary was currently strolling through a street with an umbrella in his hand. This was the path that Wang Yuan used to take when he went to school, but Negary didn't feel too many emotions walking through it now.

This was merely a ritual, a whim that made Negary want to take a stroll through this area. What Negary was currently displaying was akin to the aspect of Wang Yuan's nostalgia.

Not unexpected to Negary, the world Wang Yuan was born in was an Intermediate world, which was called the Supreme God world.

An Intermediate world was the in-between form of a Sand Realm and Bed Realm, the Moon Tree world that used to be under the elves' control was a world that almost reached this level.

The greatest difference between this kind of world and a Sand Realm was the fact that an Intermediate world had an abundance of Source Energy, outer space with actual stars, and plenty of colonized realms.

Due to how vast an Intermediate world was, the speed at which its physical matter operated was exceptionally low, resulting in a slow flow of time.

Wang Yuan had only left this world for a total of 18 years.

Negary stopped in front of an apartment building, which he entered and followed a decrepit hallway up to the fourth floor and opened the door.

Even after 18 years, there were still things that Negary recognized.

Wang Yuan wasn't an orphan, perhaps he might have become an orphan shortly after turning into the [Protagonist], but since everything had ended before it actually began, very fortunately for these two individuals, they did not have to die.

Of course, they had also mourned for their son suddenly going missing, Negary could see that Wang Yuan had a younger sister thanks to the government's two-children policy, who had drawn the attention of their parents.

Negary's goal for coming here wasn't to simply meet his 'relatives', as he had felt less and less regarding familial love ever since a long time ago. He was Wang Yuan, but Wang Yuan wasn't him.

That little bit of familial connection was far from affecting Negary. There was another reason he had specifically made a trip to this place, which was his younger sister that he had never met. There was a possibility of her being turned into a weapon in the Supreme God world's hand to be used against, him, so he had to deal with it before it became a problem.

Even a little bit of familial connection could become a weakness or opening. If they were willing to join the Impure Hermit Order, then Negary wouldn't mind granting them some partial treatment in consideration of this little bit of familial connection. On the other hand, if she appeared as an enemy, Negary would remove this small bit of emotion and suppress her as he does any other enemy.

At the current moment, his relationship with the Supreme God world was relatively hostile. Ever since Negary entered the world, he had been able to sense some sort of operational mechanism that was continuously taking over other Bed Realms.

Those Bed Realms would eventually become a colonized realm.

What Negary was curious about was the method that the Supreme God world was using to take over Bed Realms.

Firstly, it anchors the projection of other Bed Realms, then send in humans that it calls Apostles into those projections to begin conquering the world like a game, silently stealing those world's 'luck'. Finally, once it had accumulated enough power, it would mobilize the Apostles who had taken up the world's luck to thoroughly take those worlds over and turn into its colony.

This method was apparently called the Infinity Room in this world, which was why Negary had coined this Intermediate world's name as the Supreme God world. This world had truly stimulated Negary's taste, as he would be able to advance one step further if he devoured this world by himself. (TN: In case someone hadn't realized, the author is literally referencing the Terror Infinity novel series)

If Wang Yuan hadn't been persuaded to go with the System, he would most likely have entered the Infinity Room.

According to his simulation from previously known information, Negary suspected that Wang Yuan would have grown stronger within the Infinity Room, becoming one of, if not the most powerful Apostle among them all.

He would then leave the Supreme God's Room to find that his parents had unexpectedly lost their lives with only a younger sister remaining, thus beginning his life as a [Protagonist] who travels infinitely.

Unfortunately, before he managed to enter the Supreme God's Room, Wang Yuan had already been taken to a different world, suppressing his inactivated [Protagonist Aura] and was killed off.

This was made possible partially due to Wang Yuan's [Origin] having originated from the Manipulator, and it made sense for someone of the Manipulator's caliber to act for the sake of a [Protagonist Aura] belonging to an Intermediate world.

The amount of informational resource contained within such an Intermediate world was more than enough for Negary to advance his form of existence by another step.

The [Protagonist Aura] is the accumulation of this world's 'luck', which was comprised of a vast amount of the world's information. Even to the current Negary, it was still a considerable treasure with equivalent value to a Divine Artifact.

If the Supreme God world was allowed to devour enough Bed Realms for itself and form a perfect closed cycle, there was a very real possibility of it advancing to become a Greater Realm.

In the past, Wang Yuan's existence as a [Protagonist] was supposed to support the Supreme God world's modern society to absorb those colonized realms, thus enabling the world spirit to travel into those realms and make it more convenient for them to absorb even more worlds.

In the end, Wang Yuan's disappearance caused the plan to bear no results. It took the world another 10 years to create a new [Protagonist] to replace Wang Yuan, but now they're no longer part of the world spirit's realm traveler plan.

Instead, they were part of Negary's Evil Spirit plan.

Even though Negary had lost his [Protagonist Aura], he still had the title of 'Disqualified King' which had relations to this world's inner workings, and it was thanks to this connection that Negary initiated this threat.

By extracting Wang Yuan's information to create a vacuum, Negary had put short bits of other information to replace what he took, through which he used to infect the world and cause it to be 'sick'.

The remnant grudges that existed in each of the devoured Sand Realms were awakened by Negary to create powerful world-class Evil Spirits who began to attack the Supreme god world.

Additionally, he also created a link between two worlds, resulting in a considerable calamity.

By building the bridge, he had turned the Flame world's misfortune characteristic into a domain that enveloped the Evil Spirit's bodies, allowing them to be unaffected by the world's 'luck'.

Most of the Apostles' powers came directly from them exchanging their labor for the world's 'luck'. While this allowed them to quickly mature, it also made it possible to suppress all of their abilities through the Misfortune Domain.

Without resolving the Misfortunate Domain, those world-class Evil Spirits would only grow increasingly more advantageous until they devour the Supreme God world in return and form a multi-center world.

After Negary finished building his bridge and input the information of the King of Evil Spirits into the world, the time flow of both worlds gradually became influenced by one another. If this continued for another while, the vanguards of the Supreme God world would arrive in the Flame world and turn that place into another battlefield.

…

"I'm home!" a young girl who was 16-17 years of age habitually called out as she opened the door. Just as she put down her school bag, she notice Negary sitting on her sofa.

Caution was the girl's first reaction, after which she realized that the other party seemingly doesn't harbor any hostility.

…

〖 Not using 'luck' as the foundation for the source of power, huh? 〗

Negary immediately began to analyze the young girl's power.

The Infinity Room with its 'luck'-based conquering system wasn't the only one in the Supreme God world, it also had the digitization template of the Nightmare Space, as well as the deteriorated [Origin] release method in the Devil Game. These two systems serve as auxiliary conquering systems, while the 'luck'-based system was the main one.

If there were no mistakes, this girl should be a player of the Devil Game who had reached the third stage of release, and perhaps even a ranker on the game's leaderboard.

…

"Who are you? What business do you have with my home?" the girl didn't sense any hostility, but still asked with a very solemn tone.

Just now, she couldn't even sense that there was anyone in the house despite being a Legend-class player who had completed three stages of Divinity Extraction.

〖 I'm your older brother 〗Negary didn't beat around the bush and gave her a straight answer.

"Huh?"
