Chapter 11: The Required Resources
Drip, drip~
Black blood dripped from the blade tip onto the pale red ice surface. The surrounding space was riddled with holes, and combined with the aftermath of a just-concluded battle, the red glow emanating from a certain Law Destroyer's eyes made the scene overwhelmingly oppressive.
"Gulp~"
The sound of saliva being swallowed came from within a spatial crevice. The cowardly evil god curled up there had already decided that, unless dragged out, it absolutely, positively would not come out. That human was far too terrifying.
However, under the gaze of those red-glowing eyes, the cowardly evil god ultimately lasted half a minute before stepping out of the spatial crevice as if pulling back a curtain.
This evil god was humanoid, about two meters and thirty centimeters tall, covered in milky white fluff, with curled and cumbersome ram horns on its head. Its lower body resembled a centaur, but covered in obsidian-like scales, and its tail was a serpent's tail with a forked end—a dual-headed snake tail, one black and one white.
Su Xiao felt a faint regret. This might have been the most aesthetically pleasing evil god he had ever seen, but unfortunately, it wasn't a beast-type evil god.
"I'm in a good mood. You have thirty seconds."
Su Xiao took out a pocket watch, clicked the countdown button, and the compact ticking sound began.
The White Ram Evil God, seeing this, panicked slightly and wanted to say something but didn't know what. Time passed second by second. When five seconds remained, a bone-deep chill gradually surfaced in the White Ram Evil God's heart. It could be certain that if it didn't do something, it would die here immediately.
Boom!
A vast, sea-like blood aura erupted. The White Ram Evil God felt as if a massive blood-energy beast claw was pressing down from above, forcing it to nearly splay its legs apart as it lay on the ground.
"I know where the Beast Lord is!"
Clang~!
The blade, which had already sunk several centimeters into the White Ram Evil God's throat, stopped. The White Ram Evil God could confirm this wasn't intimidation—if it hadn't shouted that crucial information, its head would already be at its feet.
As for a desperate last stand, don't make such jokes. How could an Absolute Strength peak evil god possibly fight a Supreme Law Destroyer?
The tip of Dragon-Slaying Flash pressed against the White Ram Evil God's chin, forcing its head up slightly. Feeling the sharp, cold blade tip, the White Ram Evil God swallowed saliva and hurriedly said:
"I have nothing to do with the Abyss Descendants! I'm one of the shareholders of the Goblin Merchant Guild. I traded all my shares for the right to come here and devour despair and pain..."
The White Ram Evil God began to narrate the whole story, sounding particularly aggrieved. It all started on a wasteland star in the Void, a place called Misty Remnant Town.
The White Ram Evil God had once been a tumor in a high-level world, but it was both lucky and unlucky. Unlucky because that world had an incredibly ruthless World Child, and that world was called Demon Sea.
That's right, the White Ram Evil God had encountered the previous captain of the Doom Number, the Nameless One, the formidable enemy Su Xiao had ultimately fought to the death in the Demon Sea world.
The White Ram Evil God was hunted by the Nameless One for over a decade, forcing the once-arrogant deity to learn how to be a god again. After it truly couldn't stay in the Demon Sea world, it used an inter-world teleportation array to go to another world.
And the world it went to was called the World of Paintings...
Even worse, that was the peak period of the World of Paintings' God King, Oss Tobey. As soon as it arrived, the White Ram Evil God was thoroughly beaten. Relying on its extremely tenacious vitality and its ability to form "Life Cores" from negative emotions like despair and pain, the White Ram Evil God barely managed to avoid dying at the God King's hands.
God King Oss Tobey was usually busy, so he had his younger brother, the Donkey Overlord, ahem, Brother Donkey Oss Gu Yin, deal with this evil god.
Brother Donkey greatly admired his elder brother and naturally wanted to carry out his orders well. So it was a small beating every three days, a severe beating every five, and a near-death beating once a month.
The White Ram Evil God was almost in tears, but it had to admit that within the wildly spreading World of Paintings, strength increased quickly. Finally, after enduring for several years, it set up another "Inter-World Teleportation Array." This time, it was determined to find a safe place where it could dominate.
Then, the White Ram Evil God arrived at the Wind Sea Continent...
When it opened its eyes, it saw a gray-skinned orc with protruding fangs happily calling out to its companions. The White Ram Evil God's first thought was that the natives of this world were very hospitable.
That was until the White Ram Evil God was branded with a giantification spell and fitted with various harnesses for war chariots. Then it realized something was wrong, very wrong.
During its decades in the Wind Sea Continent, the White Ram Evil God had only one feeling: the Beast Clan and the Sea Clan were both insane. How could any race sustain a continuous war, with all development serving the war effort? And these decades of brutal war experience had turned this evil god into someone who began to hope for peace.
After much deliberation, the White Ram Evil God decided to go to the Void. It had heard that there was the most powerful overlord force in the myriad realms, Arcane Eternal Star. With such a powerful force in control, the Void must be very stable.
After exhausting tremendous effort, the White Ram Evil God finally arrived in the Void. Seeing the peaceful twilight scenery of a distant small town, it was almost moved to tears.
From then on, the White Ram Evil God lived the life of a wandering traveler. When it arrived in unfamiliar places, it would transform into the local race's appearance and blend in.
Not long ago, the White Ram Evil God encountered a down-and-out middle-aged goblin in the Firefly Dwarf Forest. The goblin was barely clothed, its only garment a loincloth woven from leaves. Seeing this, the White Ram Evil God took it in, giving it food and clothing.
The White Ram Evil God had long heard that goblins were treacherous, so it didn't expect any repayment. But to its surprise, the goblin was moved to tears, snot and all, saying it had encountered evil people who had swindled it of everything, and that it was the chairman of the Goblin Merchant Guild, and would repay the kindness with 0.001% of the guild's shares.
The White Ram Evil God was puzzled, but since it hadn't taken the goblin in for a reward, it ignored this. However, in the near future, it really did receive a contract clearly stating that it had obtained 0.001% of the Goblin Merchant Guild's shares.
The White Ram Evil God was still puzzled, but soon, several old goblins came to it and asked if it wanted a massive amount of negative emotions. It naturally agreed, because after being beaten so badly it developed paranoid delusions, it hadn't created large-scale areas of negative emotion since leaving the Demon Sea world.
The result was that those old goblins really did take it to a kingdom filled with despair, numbness, and pain. As payment, it had to give up that 0.001% of Goblin Merchant Guild shares.
Not long after, the White Ram Evil God roughly understood the situation in the Elf Kingdom. But it hadn't turned from evil to good; it had simply become honest and stopped committing evil. Faced with the Abyss Descendants' atrocities, it pretended not to see them, just gobbled up negative emotions, and spent the rest of its time sleeping and digesting what it had consumed.
Hearing the White Ram Evil God mention the Goblin Merchant Guild, Su Xiao suddenly remembered that goblin chairman who had been swindled out of everything, even his underwear, by Kaisa. He must have been ousted by the goblin shareholders' meeting, too embarrassing. The chairman himself probably couldn't bear to stay in that position.
"So, I haven't done any evil. As a Law Destroyer, you can't harm me."
The White Ram Evil God said this with unusual certainty.
"..."
Su Xiao didn't speak, but he felt this evil god seemed to have misunderstood something. Unfortunately, it had lost its value and was about to say goodbye to this not-so-beautiful but still wonderful world.
"I haven't done anything wrong!"
"I, I saved the chairman of the Goblin Merchant Guild. Killing me would cause a lot of trouble."
"I, I, I have a savings card with 200,000 Soul Coins!"
The blade stopped again at the White Ram Evil God's neck, still sunk in a few centimeters. It could be said that today, it was repeatedly dancing on the edge of death.
"..."
Su Xiao lowered his eyelids, looking at the White Ram Evil God.
"Huh?"
The White Ram Evil God, having narrowly escaped death, was still in disbelief. It summoned a creature that looked like a giant toad, rummaged around in its mouth for a while, and pulled out a Soul Coin savings card. Judging by its appearance, it was certified by the Void Tree.
[You have obtained a 200,000-credit Soul Coin Savings Card.]
Su Xiao estimated that some gambler had won big at the "Star Realm Casino," squandered it in District 1, and then died here. This unclaimed Soul Coin savings card ended up in the White Ram Evil God's hands.
"One last question. Where is the Beast Lord?"
Su Xiao didn't move his long blade, but the White Ram Evil God shook its head, as if indicating it couldn't say directly. It used its right hand's dozen or so long fingers to form a Void numeral and nodded in confirmation.
The Lord's Train was summoned. Su Xiao walked into the train. As the train drove away, the White Ram Evil God's aura gradually relaxed, and its eyes became more lively. After thinking for a moment, it decided to go to its secret hideout in the Queen's City to continue absorbing negative emotions.
Inside the Lord's Train, Su Xiao leaned back on the custom-made train seat. He pulled up his left sleeve, revealing dense black marks. This was erosion from "Dark Corruption."
If he hadn't been immune to the effects of "Dark Corruption," the Abyss Descendants' "Dark Corruption" would have initially affected his combat state during the previous battle.
Su Xiao now had a general understanding of "Dark Corruption." This corruption had two characteristics: one was physical, the other causal.
In simpler terms, physical erosion was an attack effect, while causal erosion was the corruption of the will.
[Abyssal Shadow] could negate all causal effects of "Dark Corruption." However, negating all physical effects of "Dark Corruption" was impossible, as each Abyss Descendant family's "Dark Corruption" was different.
The Beast Lord's second son, Soth, was not a powerful existence among the Abyss Descendants, even in the lower echelons. Yet even so, his "Dark Corruption" could injure Su Xiao so severely. If he were to face the Beast Lord himself, with that exaggerated "Dark Corruption"...
[Prompt: You have killed the Beast Lord's Second Son, Soth.]
[You have gained 5500 Sanctuary City Reputation.]
[You have gained 30,000 Hunter Gold Coins.]
[You have obtained the Abyss Chest: Scarlet Worm.]
...
Seeing the last prompt, Su Xiao was slightly surprised. This was the first time he had seen this type of Abyss Chest. Previously, the Abyss Chests he obtained were rated ★ to ★★★★★, but this one had a unique suffix. This led him to speculate that it was a special chest for killing Abyss Descendants.
Besides this, Su Xiao found that his "Instinct" ability had increased by another level. It seemed that fighting in this world, the Overlord equipment [Devourer] was causing the "Instinct" ability to grow rapidly, reaching Lv.92. If he defeated the Beast Lord, he might be able to deeply stimulate the "Instinct" ability, raising it another notch.
When the Lord's Train stopped at District 1, the area was already under strict lockdown. As soon as he stepped off the train, Su Xiao saw a squad of Elf Military Police charging towards him.
"Immediately—"
The squad leader had just started speaking.
Clang!
Intersecting slash marks appeared all around. The dozen or so Elf Military Police running forward all froze. The next second, their bodies crumbled into pieces and fell. Su Xiao walked towards the direction of the "Star Realm Casino."
An hour later, Su Xiao stepped over the head of Elf Captain Isa. It wasn't intentional humiliation; rather, a large number of Elf corpses inside the teleportation tower covered the ground. Looking back along the path he had taken, the entire street was a bloody red. Although he had walked leisurely, he had fought his way through.
Activating the teleportation tower, Su Xiao's vision blurred. When the surrounding scene became clear, he was still in the same place. The "Star Realm Casino" had blocked the teleportation.
He crouched down, placing one hand on the ground. A crystal layer spread out, forming a Law-Destroying Teleportation Array.
Almost simultaneously, in a control room at a teleportation node on the 80th floor of the "Star Realm Casino," the manager was sweating profusely, shouting at his subordinates:
"Have you contacted Lord Soth yet?!"
"N-no, not yet."
The giant rock clan member, over five meters tall, stammered. The demon clan manager glared at the giant rock clan member, then looked at the control terminal screen ahead, his attitude much better as he asked:
"Ms. Lily, is everything alright now?"
A lady, less than 1.6 meters tall, with antennae on her head and a lollipop in her mouth, glanced casually at the demon clan manager:
"If you don't trust my spatial abilities, you can find someone else."
"Of course not."
The demon clan manager could only force a smile.
"I've already sealed the space. No one can—"
Before Lily could finish.
Bang!
Ms. Lily exploded entirely. One of her two antennae spiraled away into the distance. The demon clan manager wiped the sticky bodily fluids and blood from his face.
"What in the—"
Before he could finish, a figure had already appeared inside the space control room. Seeing this person, the demon clan manager's brain began to operate with unprecedented efficiency, commonly known as the CPU nearly smoking.
"I'm related to Wood."
The demon clan manager said this, his voice trembling.
Smack!
Everyone else in the control room exploded into blood mist, leaving only the demon clan manager. Various weapons aimed at the newcomer also fell to the ground one after another. It wasn't until the newcomer walked out of the control room that the demon clan manager collapsed and fainted, apparently from overusing his brain in a short time.
As soon as Su Xiao walked out of the control room, he saw a group of burly security personnel in the corridor. Most of them were from the Void's Reverse Tooth Clan, with dark skin and heights over three meters. This Void race was almost universally malevolent and promiscuous, with "thief" referring to assassins and security personnel in violent industries.
A few seconds later, when Su Xiao pushed open the door at the end, the hanging lamps in the middle of the corridor behind him swayed left and right. The floor and walls of the corridor were covered with the Reverse Tooth Clan members who had charged at him.
Su Xiao fought his way up floor by floor to the top of the "Star Realm Casino." When he reached the 90th floor, reinforcements from the Dukain Family, the Beast Lord's lineage of Abyss Descendants, arrived.
Boom!
The entire "Star Realm Casino" shook. Su Xiao used the "Law-Destroying Teleportation Array" to leave, his destination being District 26 of the Elf Kingdom, Wugu Street, Back Alley, near a very ordinary three-story building.
As soon as Su Xiao arrived, he saw Bubu Wang and Baha waiting at the back door.
"Boss, everything is ready."
"Mm."
Su Xiao entered the three-story building through the back door. Baha stood guard, while Bubu Wang led the way to a room on the second basement level.
This room was about 50 square meters. The light from a liquid-vapor lamp was dim yellow. A wooden counter divided the room in two. The upper part of the counter was a sturdy but old metal grille. This place was a faction store of the Elf Kingdom, certified by the Void Tree.
Xilin, a causal-type Battle Angel, stood in front of the counter. As a newly promoted Supreme Battle Angel, her expression was somewhat bewildered. The reason was that Nicholas Kaisa, who had been her temporary teammate before noon, was now sitting inside the metal grille, acting as the manager of this faction store.
Seeing this scene, Xilin's expression was basically:
'Huh? Huh?'
Xilin was confused, but she didn't know that even more confusing things were yet to come.
"Let's begin."
As soon as Su Xiao finished speaking, Kaisa, inside the counter, had a faint yellow, greedy glint in his eyes. Xilin began to receive faction-related prompts.
[Prompt: Through the recommendation of Faction Store Manager Nicholas Kaisa, you have successfully joined this world's Elf Kingdom faction.]
[You have submitted the world's key item: Dukain Family Emblem!]
[You have gained 578,260 Faction Contribution Points.]
[Because your Faction Contribution Points exceed 10, the faction store has been opened for you.]
[Because your Faction Contribution Points have reached 5,000, and through the recommendation of Nicholas Kaisa, you have obtained the faction privilege: Basic Discount (reducing exchange costs by 1.9% in the faction store).]
[Because your Faction Contribution Points have reached 100,000, and through the recommendation of Nicholas Kaisa, you have obtained the faction privilege: Advanced Discount (reducing exchange costs by 5.8% in the faction store).]
[Because your Faction Contribution Points have reached 300,000... you have obtained the faction privilege: Basic Discount (reducing exchange costs by 29.5% in the faction store).]
...
Seeing these prompts, Xilin began to feel a sense of foreboding, but the prompts weren't over yet.
[Prompt: Nicholas Kaisa has activated his unique skill: Faction Bully (Active, X).]
[Judging...]
[Judgment complete. Faction store privileges are being opened...]
[Opening complete. Due to Nicholas Kaisa's skill, Faction Bully (Active, X), Kaisa has completed the "Application Submission" and "Approval" operations through his own faction identity. The faction store will enter a "Clearance Sale" state! All items will be offered at high discounts.]
[Nicholas Kaisa has activated his unique skill: Deceive Superiors and Hoodwink Subordinates (Active, X), successfully placing the important item "Dukain Family Emblem" into the current exchange list.]
[Due to this action, Deceive Superiors and Hoodwink Subordinates (Active, X) has been further activated, temporarily listing all materials from this faction's treasury in the faction store.]
[Under Nicholas Kaisa's recommendation, you have successfully exchanged the following items.]
[You have paid 96 Contribution Points (price after multiple discounts).]
[You have obtained "Dukain Family Emblem."]
[Because the contract you signed has been activated, you have complied with the contract and transferred the "Dukain Family Emblem" to Hunter Kukulin Bai Ye.]
[You have paid 5,975 Contribution Points.]
[You have obtained 1,275 Soul Crystal Cores.]
Seeing this prompt, Xilin's heart skipped a beat. She even couldn't help but think about embezzling this haul, but the thought only lasted a moment before she forcefully suppressed it.
[Because the contract you signed has been activated, you have complied with the contract and transferred 1,275 Soul Crystal Cores to...]
[You have paid 5,820 Contribution Points.]
[You have obtained 15 Primordial Cores.]
...
Xilin began various exchanges. Faced with the operations of this Arbiter and Hunter, she was dumbfounded. If she told other Battle Angels about what she was experiencing now, no one would believe her.
Actually, some would believe her, like the little angel Molei and her two companions.
The "restocking" had to be quick. The entire process took less than five minutes to complete all operations and exchanges. A Law-Destroying Teleportation Array formed under Su Xiao's feet. Outside, the sound of air being torn could be heard, indicating that someone had noticed something wrong with the Elf Kingdom's treasury.
Inside the underground room, Kaisa hurriedly crawled out from behind the counter. Before stepping onto the "Law-Destroying Teleportation Array," he put the Abyssal Jar on his head.
Seeing this, Xilin, who was about to step onto the "Law-Destroying Teleportation Array," paused. After adding two buffs to herself, she stepped onto the array. The teleportation array activated instantly.
Xilin suddenly felt something was wrong. She lunged to jump out of the array's range, but a hand grabbed the back of her collar from behind. At that moment, Xilin felt miserable. She had finally managed to reach Supreme, albeit a newly promoted one, surpassing 99.99% of people. But now, she was about to be silenced for not sharing the spoils fairly.
Boom~!
The Law-Destroying Teleportation Array activated. Xilin felt as if she were riding a giant missile that had already been launched, hurtling forward through space at an unimaginable speed.
The spatial wind hitting her face blew her mouth open. Her facial features were like innocent clay toys, constantly changing shape due the wind. She could even hear the slapping sound of her upper and lower lips.
Inside an abandoned old dragon church on the western side of the Elf Kingdom.
Xilin, supporting herself on the stone front claw of an old dragon, let out a ferocious dragon roar into the corner. She felt as if her stomach had been placed on a railroad track and run over by a train—not ruptured, but twisted into a strange shape.
"Ugh~, what kind of teleportation is this, ugh~!!!"
Xilin was completely wrecked. But the next second, her expression froze. The reason was that her share of the "restocking" profits from the Elf Kingdom had arrived. She was entitled to 20%, but the amount of profit was still staggering.
It wasn't just Xilin who received her share; Black Leech did too. Besides looting the Beast Lord's treasury, Su Xiao and Kaisa had also looted the "Star Realm Casino's" vault. Although the vault was emptied periodically, the wealth accumulated over half a month was still astonishing.
Su Xiao's total profits this time were as follows:
[Soul Coin Savings Card Total Credit: 7,950,000 Soul Coins.]
[Soul Crystal Cores × 675.]
[Primordial Cores × 9.]
[Golden Statue Fragments × 2 (Small).]
...
Such gains could only be described as outrageous. It must be remembered that both the Beast Lord's treasury and the "Star Realm Casino's" vault were regularly emptied, yet the wealth was still this staggering.
This made Su Xiao very interested in the treasury of the Scorpion Lady in "Queen's City." Among the three Dukain Family councilors, the combined fixed assets of the Beast Lord and the Twin Kings were less than one-tenth of the Scorpion Lady's. Furthermore, the local branch of the Goblin Merchant Guild in this world was located in Queen's City, which gave an idea of the Scorpion Lady's treasury's value.
Now that Su Xiao had been promoted to Supreme, his consumption of Soul Coins was terrifying. As for "Soul Crystal Cores," that went without saying. To raise Blade Grandmaster from Lv.95 to Lv.105, he needed a full 1,000 "Soul Crystal Cores."
Based on Su Xiao's experience, to raise Blade Grandmaster from Lv.105 to the max level of Lv.110, each level would require at least 200 to 300 "Soul Crystal Cores." That meant he needed another 2,000 "Soul Crystal Cores" just to max out his Blade skill, and that was an optimistic estimate.
Don't forget, Su Xiao was a triple Technique Grandmaster. That meant to raise all three technique abilities to Lv.105, or even Lv.110, he would need a total of 6,000 "Soul Crystal Cores," and that was still a conservative estimate.
Furthermore, this wasn't the end of technique abilities. The "Grandmaster's Hall" corresponding to "Above Grandmaster" represented an ultimate qualitative transformation of technique abilities.
Su Xiao planned to fuse his three technique abilities into one. If he did so, the higher the levels of the three technique abilities at the time of fusion, the higher the initial potential of the resulting ability. Moreover, Su Xiao had reason to suspect that this fused "Ultimate Technique Ability" was both the end and the beginning. There was a good chance it was a low-level super technique ability with room for further growth.
In other words, this was the power of technique abilities—immense growth potential.
Thinking this way, the earlier the ability transformation of "Above Grandmaster" was completed at the Supreme level, the more beneficial it would be for the growth of the ultimate technique ability. With this in mind, Su Xiao needed to obtain 6,000 to 8,000 "Soul Crystal Cores" in this world.
No, that wasn't all. He also needed enough "Primordial Cores." After technique abilities reached Lv.95, each level required 1 "Primordial Core." From Lv.105 to Lv.110, each level might require 3, and that was an optimistic estimate. It could be 5 to 8 per level.
In that case, to achieve his expected optimal goal, Su Xiao would need to obtain 75 to 150 "Primordial Cores" in this world.
Think that's all? Of course not. Raising technique abilities also required a massive amount of Soul Coins. Back when Blade Grandmaster needed Soul Coins to level up, the cost was:
"To raise Blade Grandmaster Lv.60, requires 10 Soul Crystal Cores + 650 Soul Coins."
No matter how you looked at it, the Soul Coin consumption was just a side expense. But now it had become:
"To raise Blade Grandmaster Lv.95, requires 100 Soul Crystal Cores + 750,000 Soul Coins + 1 Primordial Core."
Su Xiao estimated that to achieve his expected goal, he would need to prepare over 50 million Soul Coins, otherwise, he couldn't afford the consumption of this comprehensive technique ability upgrade.
As for the need to raise technique abilities gradually, Su Xiao had never had that problem. In a single world, he fought to the death and defeated more formidable enemies than a normal Void Technique Grandmaster of the same tier would face in decades or even centuries.
So, compared to normal Technique Grandmasters, his progress was far too gradual. The combat experience he had accumulated completely exceeded the level of his technique ability improvement.
Plus, after being promoted to Supreme, powerful enemies would come one after another. He must maximize his own strength.
After formulating these plans, Su Xiao confirmed one thing: to achieve his expected plan, relying solely on the Scorpion Lady's treasury might not be enough. He needed to give her a "helping hand," because doing so would achieve three goals at once.
But before that, Su Xiao had something else to deal with: the current Sanctuary City Reputation Ranking. He had slipped from first place to third. He now had 18,874 Sanctuary City Reputation points, which was equivalent to World Source and could affect the world rating—an ultimate high-value faction reputation. The current ranking was:
First Place: Soul Master (Reincarnation Paradise), 3,570,000 Sanctuary City Reputation.
Second Place: Shenfu (Dawn Paradise), 18,906 Sanctuary City Reputation.
Third Place: Bai Ye (Reincarnation Paradise), 18,874 Sanctuary City Reputation.
Fourth Place: Aurore (Holy Light Paradise): 8,200 Sanctuary City Reputation.
Fifth Place: Moen (Death Paradise), 8,159 Sanctuary City Reputation.
Sixth Place: Hao Tao (Reincarnation Paradise), 926 Sanctuary City Reputation.
Seventh Place: Hei Mo (Dawn Paradise), 908 Sanctuary City Reputation.
Eighth Place: Xilin (Apocalypse Paradise), 658 Sanctuary City Reputation.
Ninth Place: Bee (Dawn Paradise): 520 Sanctuary City Reputation.
...
The first place's Sanctuary City Reputation was absurd. Su Xiao didn't feel the slightest bit discouraged. The reason was that as long as he successfully killed the Beast Lord, his subsequent Sanctuary City Reputation growth could completely rival this Soul Master.
However, when these two sides began to clash, the others on the ranking might feel extremely frustrated and start "venting their frustrations" in this world's "World Contact Platform."
