The group and Zero arrived at a room that resembled a conference room.
Everyone sat down in turn.
In fact, Zero had wanted to gather everyone together for a meeting after the last "base intrusion incident," but due to various matters that caused delays or conflicts, he had to give up.
Now that he has learned so much in his dream, and with the appearance of the Earth Spirit who discovered his differences, he felt the time was right, so he gathered everyone to discuss matters.
Seeing that everyone was seated with serious expressions, Zero didn't keep them in suspense and slowly began, "I'm sure everyone still remembers the incident from before. That incident alone cost us at least half of our comrades..."
At this point, a look of pain appeared on everyone's faces. Recalling that day, those scenes were still vivid in their minds.
Ye Hao clenched his fists involuntarily, thinking to himself, "One day, I will avenge them, no matter who it is, the man in gray or whoever they are..."
The previous incident left Ye Hao with a lingering sense of guilt; he felt he hadn't protected the others. The other party had arrived hastily, left swiftly, and even launched a surprise attack, hiding among them and breaching the defensive barrier. They had even attempted to impersonate him to deceive Lord Zero…
All of this spoke volumes about the opponent's strength and his own weakness. Thinking this, Ye Hao clenched his fists even tighter, and a dark cloud seemed to settle over his face.
Do you want to become stronger?
A strange, unpredictable voice rang in Ye Hao's ears, causing him to pause in his thoughts.
Looking up at his surroundings and then at the other people, it seemed that no one had heard the sound.
Just as Ye Hao thought he was hallucinating, the voice rang out again: "Stop looking, only you can hear my voice."
Although Ye Hao found it strange, he ignored it.
This kind of thing is definitely captivating; he mustn't fall for it.
He then put his mind at ease and listened to Zero and the others discussing matters.
Don't you want to become stronger?
The voice persisted, as if it would continue to pester Ye Hao if he didn't respond.
"It's none of your business."
Ye Hao thought to himself, he wanted to become stronger, but it had nothing to do with him.
Seemingly having found a breakthrough, the voice continued its enticing call:
"With your current abilities, you wouldn't even have a chance to fight them. Don't you want to avenge those who were captured? They trusted you so much, and as the commander here, you failed to protect them. Isn't that because you're not capable enough? How about it? I can make you stronger. Consider it?"
"You don't need to worry about it."
Hearing Shi Ling's words, Ye Hao's heart trembled slightly, but he still restrained the urge to become stronger.
They also have Lord Zero. Lord Zero won't just sit idly by and do nothing. Aren't they having a meeting right now to discuss the follow-up matters?
The Soul Eater seemed to know all of Ye Hao's thoughts, clinging to him like a piece of chewing gum.
"Oh dear, your Lord Zero, you value him so much. Think about it, where was he when you were in trouble? Did he help you fight the enemy?"
Ye Hao's heart skipped a beat, and his thoughts wavered slightly.
Yes... if Lord Zero had been here back then, perhaps none of this would have happened...
However, he still stubbornly insisted, "Lord Ling happened to be away at the time, and this matter has nothing to do with Lord Ling. Don't try to sow discord."
Sensing Ye Hao's emotional fluctuations, Devouring Spirit changed its approach, tempting him again: "Yes, yes, your Lord Zero wasn't there at the time, which is why he couldn't protect the humans here. But think about it, your Lord Zero can't appear every time, and you can't rely on your Lord Zero forever, right? You should strengthen yourself..."
The Soul Eater was also quite intelligent; seeing that the previous method wasn't working, it came up with a different approach.
Upon hearing this, Ye Hao seemed to react even more strongly.
"How...can I become stronger..."
"It's done!" Shi Ling cheered happily, fully aware of Ye Hao's emotional fluctuations.
Unexpectedly, his trip to the human realm has led him to encounter someone capable of stealing souls so quickly.
Tsk tsk tsk, he hasn't even tasted a human soul yet...
But we'll be able to eat it soon, it should be delicious...
