Chapter 861 -846: Nevrilla’s Request
“Let go of me! Put me down immediately!”
“Inanna, I’m your father! You can’t… can’t do this… oh… like this!”
Behind Marshal Puki, Inanna giggled, holding a newly transformed Puki that struggled incessantly.
This former Duke Level powerhouse, now a Puki, was unable to escape Inanna’s embrace on his own and could only twist his mushroom body in protest.
Especially when Elvyn was in the team at this moment.
With Marshal Puki’s slow steps, the group arrived in front of a tomb.
The yellow-covered book held in tentacles opened, its thick pages flipping continuously, eventually stopping on a specific page on their own.
[Boss, these two pages are it]
Lin Jun rolled up the two pages, and with the cooperation of the yellow-covered book, effortlessly ripped them off. Once separated, the pages quickly transformed back into the souls of Norris and Karen.
Strangely, these released souls did not get instantly consumed by the world and sent to the Computation Furnace like ordinary ones would.
After a brief standoff, a more powerful gravity, originating from the soul itself, firmly pulled these two souls into Lin Jun’s sea of souls.
Self-study… or should we say soul bonding.
Long before Lin Jun saw some fragments through Restraint and knew of the Demon King and Link’s surprise plan, he had already bonded the souls of members he considered important.
Bonded souls, whether devoured by the yellow-covered book or directly shattered and destroyed, are only temporary. As long as Lin Jun doesn’t let go, they will always return to his sea of souls.
Summoning materials are ready, the ritual location is correct.
Marshal Puki swung his tentacles fiercely: “Let the souls return!”
Poof—
Under Xiao Hai’s expectant gaze, two mushroom caps emerged from the mound…
…
“Xiaonuo!”
“Norris!”
Amidst the calls from everyone, Norris lowered his mushroom cap, looking at his four twisting tentacles.
“Ah—”
Norris, who had long anticipated such a day, took only ten seconds to accept his identity as a Puki—merely a complete detachment from human form, something he was used to.
He turned to another still dazed Puki next to him: “Karen?”
“Norris, what is this… no,” halfway through speaking, Karen shook his mushroom cap, seemingly recalling something more important, “You… you’re finally mine!”
Karen stretched out his tentacles and joyfully lunged at Norris, but his mushroom cap hit the open grave mound.
A pair of black claws lifted Norris up.
“Xiaonuo?” Xiao Hai frowned deeply, repeatedly inspecting the gray Puki in his hands, hesitant to believe that this was Norris.
Until, while flipping Norris, a glint of light reflected into her golden eyes.
On Norris’s foot, a still incomplete pure silver scale was growing!
“Xiaonuo!” Xiao Hai happily cuddled Norris in her arms, refusing to let go, while Karen could only helplessly watch, unable to intervene.
Meanwhile, Norris had started worrying about something else.
“Boss, you… didn’t add delicious taste to me, right?”
…
…
…
With the Empire fallen, the Demon King and Link defeated, for ordinary people, the war was finally over, heralding the arrival of an unprecedented era of peace where everyone would connect with the Fungal Network.
However, for Lin Jun, the work wasn’t finished.
[Greed], [Fury], [Envy], [Gluttony], [Lust], [Spiritual], [Restraint], [Heroism].
In addition to what Lin Jun possessed himself, there were Vera’s [Sacrifice], Sofia’s [Mercy], the missing [Laziness], and the Demon King’s two other bodies possibly sealed within the Molten Fire Dungeon and Pujie Dungeon.
Lin Jun first mobilized all forces to search areas where the Mycelium was difficult to cover.
After thorough investigations, they eventually found the hidden Tanaka on a high mountain peak.
Interestingly, there was another familiar ‘person’ beside him—Visarius, the Blood Race Prince.
This guy hid when the Demon King took control of the Empire, fearing retribution, and surprisingly ended up joining forces with Tanaka.
But, seeing his current bewildered and ignorant look, clearly having had his memory wiped clean, it was hard to say he was the prince he used to be.
Tanaka managed to fool him, allowing him to gather food and water in such an isolated high-altitude location, whereas Visarius received blood provided by Tanaka, forming a bizarre symbiotic relationship.
Recalling that it was Visarius who destroyed the Mycelium Puki Castle No. 1, Lin Jun decisively tossed him into Paradise to experience life anew.
As for Tanaka, once Lin Jun had extracted [Laziness] from him, he threw him into the yellow-covered book.
Afterward, Lin Jun redeployed the army, and with thorough preparations, opened the seals of the two dungeons.
The seal on the Molten Fire Dungeon was a decoy, housing a large stash of Casting Materials, serving as a safehouse arranged by the Demon King.
As for Pujie Dungeon, it was genuinely sealed, and within its seal was…
[Seven Sins of Pride: Denial of All Possibilities]
As expected, it was still on the Demon King!
But this description is too vague; Lin Jun couldn’t fathom its specific application.
The Slime inside the seal seemed to have foreseen Lin Jun’s arrival and, knowing it was utterly defeated, offered no resistance.
Nonetheless, Lin Jun first kicked it around before seizing [Pride].
[Pride] also lit up…
Lin Jun has always been humble and honest, clearly indicating the world is crumbling, and the panel system has caught a bug.
