The Real Way to Cultivate in the City

Chapter 286: Chapter 214: Lustful Legislator: What Grudge Do We Have Against Each Other!

A drop of ink falls into a basin of water; tell me, what power can extract that original drop from the water?

After calming down, Lustful Legislator incorporated the intelligence collected about Black Impermanence.

Upon careful analysis, she surmised that Black Impermanence’s power likely falls under "Illusion Technique."

Right now, Black Impermanence seems to be confusing her own perception, making her feel she can’t completely replace the captain, urging her to abandon the captain’s soul and body, and escape directly from the [Church Prison] to reshape her own form outside.

However, after so many years of effort, she’s not someone who gives up easily.

It’s fake; this feeling of soul separation is fake... it’s all part of the backup plan left by the captain... intended for her to voluntarily give up his form and power just when success is within reach, rendering years of effort futile...

But the sensation of separation is so painfully clear.

Lust: "What do you really want?"

Black Impermanence still ignored Lustful Legislator, focusing solely on scribbling with the Judge’s Pen.

If the Judge himself were here, one stroke of the Judge’s Pen could divide souls, write sins, or determine cause and effect, but the Judge is missing, and Black Impermanence isn’t very skilled either.

Yet here, no one understands the Judge’s Pen better than Him.

Though slow, it’s no big issue; as a deity, time is the least of His worries, thus slowly does it.

Lust: "Brother Hei, don’t give me the cold shoulder, it makes me really sad."

Black Impermanence continued meticulously using the Judge’s Pen; separating souls was still a delicate task for Him, prone to making some errors.

He would split the captain’s soul into Lustful Legislator, and her soul into the captain.

Even if mistakes are made, it’s no matter, like fixing a typo on a typing machine; just erase and rewrite, since no one criticizes Him.

Lust: ...

This person, why doesn’t he respond at all?

Lustful Legislator tried gently reasoning to communicate with Black Impermanence, while He immersed in soul peeling and puzzle-solving.

Seeing communication failed, she had a backup plan!

Major undertakings require planning, backup plans, and backups for the backups...

Assuming her and the captain’s souls are indeed separated, as long as the captain’s soul strength is weakened, she can accelerate the permeation process.

Experience from those inside the warehouse indicates a strong link between one’s body and soul.

If the body is weak, the soul becomes frail.

Once the body dies, the soul will dissolve; if not revived in due time, it returns wholly to the earth and sky.

Unable to devour the captain when his soul is whole, holding his complete soul and body, then initiate—

[Backup Plan]: Weaken the captain’s body to facilitate her soul taking over.

Such frailty issues can be addressed later.

Initially aiming to grasp a perfect form and physique, now compelled to choose one.

Inside [Church Prison], Lustful Legislator clenched her fist, and so did the captain.

Lustful Legislator nodded in satisfaction, then sliced decisively with her right hand, plunging into her abdomen and pulling.

For the captain, this action effectively drew out his intestines...

"Damn it, what are you doing?"

The agony once more gave the captain’s consciousness the upper hand.

As blood flowed and sharp pain erupted, Lustful Legislator could distinctly feel the captain’s soul trembled.

The aura clearly began to decline.

Even though this causes her invading soul to weaken as well, it’s irrelevant.

She just needs to hasten the pace to devour him.

A mere fatal wound will heal once the captain is consumed.

The captain also realized Lust’s true intent.

"I won’t let you succeed!"

He glanced at Black Impermanence, still etching in the void.

"Brother, leave now, I’m about to self-destruct."

Black Impermanence remains indifferent to anyone’s words.

This extreme coldness unexpectedly brought Lustful Legislator a wisp of pleasure.

Lust: Damn it, what kind of twisted joy do I find in this!

Nevertheless, the captain’s warning to Black Impermanence still stayed rooted in her mind.

"Draw their sanity, drain it dry!"

The captain could starkly feel Lustful Legislator intensifying her soul’s invasion.

His personality started to distort.

He began blaming his wife, no, her betrayal stemmed from the beguilement of Lust Power, no, she had already intended to betray...

The captain could distinctly feel his memories unchanged, yet his character twisted.

"Brother, go away, my self-destruction is quite potent, don’t bother saving me." The captain said while his mind was still clear.

But in the next instant, his voice turned a bit soft:

"You’re truly ugly, carbon black all over, and mute; how pitiful."

Black Impermanence utterly disregarded this remark.

To prevent the captain’s self-destruction, Lustful Legislator called forth more external forces, continuously extracting people’s sanity as nourishment for her soul’s invasion!

River Debris City descended further into chaos! Soon, amidst turmoil, they would receive their rightful king.
