Chapter 1808 The Hell Manager's 'Secret' (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)
As the yellow light pierced the sky, He Ao felt a surge of power flowing through his body.

He raised his head and looked back at his reflection hanging upside down in the sky.

The yellow and purple radiances still intertwined; the yellow radiance came from the God of Order, and the purple radiance came from the Witch of Desire.

At that moment, none of them expected that Heo would escape through the opened gap, or rather, they did not expect that the orange light, the 'Eternal Light', would help Heo escape.

At this moment, both the God of Order and the eldest sister wanted to spare some of their strength to capture He Ao, but they were both blocked by the other. Neither side wanted the other to obtain He Ao, and they ended up in a stalemate.

As for the orange radiance that the eternal light had transformed into, it was now 'watching' Heo through the opened crack.

He spared Heo not out of kindness, but because Heo and Heo had made a deal in the instant they made contact.

However, He Ao's gaze did not fall on the orange glow, but rather on the gray eye-shaped sun that was faintly visible in the reflection behind the orange glow.

Neither the God of Order nor the Witch of Desire acted as he had anticipated.

The God of Order needs Sot's body as an angel puppet, otherwise he wouldn't have preserved the fragments of this dream city. And from the last instance, it can be seen that the Witch of Desire seems to have a different kind of 'desire' for Heo.

It was no surprise that they fought.

Even the eternal light, Ho'o, had reasons to persuade Him.

But his good friend didn't make any move, which was somewhat unexpected for He Ao.

He had originally planned to see if he could get the Eternal Light to help him hold off his good friend.

But his good friend's inaction made him feel somewhat at a loss.

However, he had no time to think about these things at the moment.

His body fell from the sky and hovered in front of the huge ancient door.

The flames had completely died off the door frame, but the flames inside the frame were still burning, though growing thinner and thinner, as if the door had not yet been fully 'opened'.

The crowd below had been awakened by the thunder on the two levels and began to flee in panic, heading away from the giant gate.

Those two thunderclaps were not He Ao's own power, but rather the tremors in the world's underworld that he ignited with the power of the Eternal Light.

At that moment, the enormous, flaming skeleton standing before the door lowered its head and looked at Heo, who was hovering in front of it. A thunderous roar resounded from beneath the trembling flames, "Soter? You're not dead?"

"It seems you really want me dead?" He Ao raised his head, looked at the huge skeleton, and slightly raised his hand.

He had to deal with Dester quickly. The stalemate between the Witch of Desire and the God of Order in the sky wouldn't last long. Once they hadn't decided the victor, they would inevitably cooperate to capture Heo.

The eternal light will not necessarily block them.

He raised his fingertips, and a faint shimmering light rose from them, unfolding into dazzling geometric shapes.

At the end of the Soter instance, the 'Carpenter' talent sequence from the old agent and the divine grace of the God of Order were also integrated into Soter's body. This was the preparation made by the God of Order to possess Soter.

Essentially, He's current body is the angelic incarnation of the God of Order.

Of course, due to some 'unexpected' reasons, other gods got involved that time, which caused the God of Order's possession to fail, resulting in this 'City of Loops' character card.

Of course, besides these divine powers, there are other green lights in this 'City of Loops' that He Ao cannot understand, which seem to be related to 'fate'.

He Ao didn't know what consequences the fate-related forces would cause, but when he redeemed the card, he had no other choice.

After all, he is currently in Dawn City, and he doesn't have many options to mobilize angel-level power. He also needs to be able to descend in a very short time to stop the Church of Death's plans.

Considering all factors, he still chose this character card.

Even if you know there's a problem, you have to bite the bullet and go for it.

However, judging from his recent experience, the power of fate does not seem to have any 'hostility' towards him, nor has it released any obstacles.

We'll just have to observe and see for now.

"Interesting. You've received some kind of divine grace?" Dester, who was opposite Heo, stared at Heo, raised his hand, and a brilliant flame burned in his palm. A surge of fire rose from all directions in an instant. "So you're going to stop me?"

“I only saw you calling yourself an apostle of ‘K’,” Heo also slightly opened his hands, a faint yellow glow covering his entire body. A semi-transparent geometric crystal formed in the void, enveloping his body and blocking the surging waves of fire.

He looked at Dester and smiled, "I want to see how strong you are, this so-called 'Apostle'."

Dester looked at Heo, who was shrouded in geometric crystals, and frowned slightly.

Soter himself had no experience in manipulating the 'Carpenter' talent sequence, nor did he have experience in manipulating the divine grace of order.

He Ao didn't have it either.

If He Ao had redeemed this card earlier, he might have needed to study for a while how to use these powerful high-level abilities.

But not anymore.

The wizard's exceptional comprehension allowed him to quickly grasp how to use these powers by drawing on Soter's experience, and even achieve a relatively high level of proficiency in a short period of time.

In fact, the character cards that possess such powerful additional abilities are not limited to 'City of Loop'. In the past, in addition to dealing with the divine powers within these character cards, He Ao also had to spend time studying the power of the character cards.

This eliminates the need for further study.

In a sense, the arcane wizard is indeed the most suitable talent sequence for him.

It can not only help him solve the problem of comprehension, but also help him quickly master those powerful character cards.

The intense flames around him surged even more violently, like a seismic storm, enveloping He Ao in all directions and even obscuring his world.

He Ao raised his hand, and the crystal that enveloped his body suddenly expanded, forcefully pushing open the flames to reveal the huge skeleton behind them.

"Your talent sequence is 'Hell Manager'?" Heo asked thoughtfully, looking at Dester's body.

The skeletal remains of Dester, now engulfed in flames, bear a striking resemblance to Hawke's activated Hell Manager state.

As he spoke, the crystal around him continued to expand violently. Any flames and mist that touched the crystal trembled rapidly, then formed intricate geometric shapes, falling in all directions like scattered snowflakes.

Make more flames and mist form similar shapes.

As they were constructed, the flames inside the massive doorway began to dissipate at an increasingly slower rate.

These geometric mists also floated below the door, obstructing the view below and separating the distorted and terrifying presence above from the ordinary people below.

The panicked crowd below, under the direction of Christos and others, has regained some order and is 'evacuating' through several passages.

In the hazy mist, the blonde woman directed the crowd to leave while glancing back at the fog in the sky. A faint light flickered in her eyes, as if she had pierced through the thick fog and seen figures floating above it.

"Don't try to compare yourself to me with that kind of low-level power." Enveloped in surging flames, Dester glanced at the scattered geometric shapes around him, sneered at Heo, and then raised his hand to grab at Heo.

In that instant, He Ao's body suddenly stiffened.

At the very bottom of that world, there seemed to be an invisible hand that passed through the translucent crystal barrier and seized his soul.

A surge of power erupted from that arm, attempting to tear He Ao's soul from his body. That invisible force tried to seep into He Ao's body and completely dominate his soul.

At that moment, Dester's face, which was burning with flames, paused slightly. He looked up and asked Heo with some surprise, "How can your soul be so strong?"

However, before he could finish speaking, a faint purplish-gray light burst forth from He Ao's soul, rushing towards his soul in an instant along the arm he was reaching for it.

The enormous, flame-encased skeleton trembled for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, one after another, illusory bodies enveloped in flames unfolded behind his body.

He Ao raised his head and looked at the illusory figures. He slightly opened his eyes, and a faint purple glow covered his pupils.

Just now, what he saw of Dester's soul was a huge sphere enveloped in purple light.

At this moment, as his power surged into Dester's soul, the deeper aspects of that soul unfolded in Heo's vision.

The radiance enveloping the sphere was directly unraveled, revealing countless cracks beneath, which divided the enormous spherical soul into numerous tiny fragments.

Each of those small pieces seemed to be an empty soul.

Dester's soul is not the soul of a single person, but rather a collection of countless souls pieced together.

"What are you doing?!" Dester roared, seemingly provoked, and reached for Heo with his other hand.

The illusory arm pierced through the bottom of the world, seized Heo's soul, and suddenly exerted force.

Heo's body swayed slightly, and in that instant, Dester almost dragged his soul out of his body.

However, He Ao's actions did not stop at this moment. His gaze quickly pierced through the cracks in Dester's soul and reached the deepest part of Dester's soul, the most core position.

It was a fragment of a soul.

In that instant, Heo suddenly recalled the spirit of 'Des' that he had killed in Ains.

Des's soul also seems to be incomplete, only able to function properly thanks to the power of divine grace.

The fragmented soul of Des and the fragmented soul of Des at this moment seem to be able to be pieced together to form a complete soul.

The two names differ by exactly one syllable in the pronunciation of "Federal".

Some incredibly powerful force split a person's soul in two.

He Ao's mind raced, comparing the differences between the two souls.

Dester's soul was clearly less, but more core; Des's soul, on the other hand, looked like a 'scraped' 'waste'.

He Ao's gaze swept quickly over the blank souls, each of which had a 'dot' connected to Dester's soul.

The reason that being that manipulates souls cuts open Dester's soul is to connect these empty souls.

It's like that classic federal joke: how do you give a whole person a prosthetic arm? Just cut off one of their arms.

Only by cutting off most of the soul can it be used to connect these empty souls.

He Ao could vaguely sense that these blank souls were currently connected to some powerful high-level force, as well as to the powerful divine grace spreading outside.

The reason Dester can wield this powerful force, control angelic objects, and harness the divine grace around him is because of these blank souls.

However, these blank souls do not seem to belong to 'Dest'. Although they are connected to Dester and driven by him, there seems to be another aura entwined within them, an aura that truly controls these blank souls.

Clearly, the true master of these spirits is the high-ranking being who cut open Dester's soul.

Above the sky, the enormous reflection of the city seemed to be getting clearer and clearer, and the two beams of yellow and purple light entwined in the reflection seemed to be pressing down rapidly at this moment.

The God of Order and the Witch of Desire seemed to have lost patience and were rapidly pressing down towards Heo, while the orange light swirled around them, as if all of this was irrelevant to Him.

"How can your soul be so powerful?" The surging flames enveloped Dester's body as he angrily exerted force with both hands, a faint purple glow emanating from behind him. "Great Lord, grant me strength!"

He Ao's body, suspended in the air, began to shake violently like a falling leaf. A surge of purple light flickered, as if some terrifying power, with an eerie gaze, was trying to fall from countless dimensions.

Deep within the world, He Ao's soul was almost completely torn off by those hands, and dense purple light also tried to surge into his body.

The orange glow in the sky lingered in the city's reflection, as if watching a good show.

At this moment, Heo's power had also penetrated deeply into Dester's soul.

From the very beginning, he noticed that the blank spirits within Dester's soul seemed somewhat familiar.

Only now did he realize where this sense of familiarity came from.

That is the power of the Hell Manager. These blank souls were all once holders of the Hell Manager talent sequence and were tainted by the Hell Manager's aura.

Moreover, their talent sequences are probably the same, otherwise their auras wouldn't be so similar.

These spirits are those who were once members of the Church of Death, possessing the talent sequence of Hell Manager, and who ultimately disappeared mysteriously.

Hawke likely possesses the same talent sequence as them.

Their souls were extracted, their individual characteristics were washed away, and they became a kind of 'structure' connected to Dester's soul.

He Ao had not expected that there would be so many souls of the Hell Manager here. The high-ranking figure behind the scenes seemed to have been preparing for this day for a very long time.

Countless pieces of information converged in He Ao's mind.

Judging from all these signs, Dester, and these souls, seem to be nothing more than components of some intricate scheme, 'foundations' that bear certain powers and wills.

That high-ranking figure behind the scenes has certainly put in a lot of effort.

The yellowish-purple light in the sky was pressing down at an even faster speed.

He raised his hand and looked at Dester in front of him, geometric rays of light unfolding at his fingertips.

The more exquisite something is, the easier it is to destroy.
