My Weekly Refreshing Mentor Spirit

Number 8 needs to divide its soul into countless parts, thereby causing an undead apocalypse across the cosmos, so a tenth of its soul during its prime already occupies nearly half of its current power.

And these powers are thus lost in vain!

Damn it, damn it!

This is all a conspiracy, all traps set by Number 13 to kill me, and I really jumped into it!

But fortunately, although I have suffered great losses, the majority of my power has not been contaminated by the void.

By creating an undead apocalypse with the mark of eternal servitude, it has instilled its avatars throughout the cosmos, therefore when it comes to soul division, I am the most skilled!

So, despite the great danger, I still survived, at most I’ll be weakened for a few thousand years, which, to me, can be considered an acceptable loss...

However...

"No, no no! Why are my soul and everything still continuously being channeled elsewhere, being channeled to the unknown star system on the edge of the Milky Way Galaxy!" Number 8 realized in terror that even though it had sliced its soul, the eternal servitude endowed by that immortal authority continued to draw its soul.

"Because, you being devoured by the void along with me is just my first layer!" The young voice echoed in the subspace.

"How is that possible!" The Eighth Apostle was utterly stunned for a moment, this was its subspace, its domain, when did it become susceptible to invasion!

"I didn’t invade your subspace, simply our souls entwined with each other." Xue Dili smiled, gradually revealing his soul, upon which the engraving of eternal servitude prominently appeared!

"How is that possible! Didn’t the eternal servitude along with my portion of sliced soul get completely swallowed by the void? How can your soul still bear this eternal servitude!" The voice of the Eighth Apostle came in disbelief.

"This is the plan I devised after fully understanding your eternal servitude, because I never imagined killing you in one go, so I divided myself, and the eternal servitude engraved was not on my divided avatar, but on my original self." Xue Dili smiled, at this moment.

The Eighth Apostle froze, sensing something amiss but completely unable to comprehend why, now that eternal servitude which was clearly prepared by it is reversed, draining its power and soul.

"You can’t completely control the immortal authority, right?" Xue Dili smiled.

"Hence, the eternal servitude not only controls me but also controls yourself, the authority’s power is bilateral, affecting me as much as affecting you, isn’t it?" Xue Dili smiled.

The price of authority, this is the strength from the cosmic base code level, like its void, is both a trump card and a gradual eroder, devourer.

Like numerous patients at the masked ball combating the void with laughter, like even Hassan, one of the cosmos’ strongest, will be eroded by the void completely, heading toward the end.

The power of authority always affects any entity, and can’t only affect enemies but not oneself, those who wield authority merely utilize it.

So this immortal power both erodes and controls Xue Dili’s strength while in turn extracting the essence of the Eighth Apostle.

"So, what are you trying to say!" The Eighth Apostle’s tone lost its previous arrogance and conceit, instantly sensing a profoundly ominous premonition.

"I have simultaneously gained the support of two world consciousness levels, to them, as long as a tiny soul fragment of mine still exists, I can be pulled back to the real world from the void through the ’Summoning of Heroic Spirits’ ceremony, the price being merely deeper immersion in the void’s plea, while your eternal servitude is impressed upon my original self."

"Still don’t understand? Eighth Apostle, Undying King, from start to finish, you were fixated on my interest, but what I focused on is your principal!" Xue Dili grinned, immediately saying, "Susu, use ’Summoning of Heroic Spirits’ on me!"

"Brother Li, we are in this together!" Susu’s (Margaret’s transformed) voice echoed.

"Huh?!" The Eighth Apostle suddenly froze, recoiling at a terrifying thought—one only a madman, lunatic, most ruthless, most vile monster could conceive, "Are you saying..."

"Congratulations on finally realizing, I will let myself be devoured by the void, but owing to my arrangements, I’ll return through the authority of summoning heroic spirits after being swallowed by the void, reborn, carrying the original marks of your eternal servitude, and the power and cost of immortal authority will compel you to split the soul to control me! When your divided soul has sufficiently controlled me, I’ll be swallowed by the void once more."

Xue Dili smiled, and here the insoluble stratagem was fully displayed.

"Marching unerringly toward death, Eighth Apostle, I’ve now achieved infinite devouring that cannot be resolved!" Xue Dili chuckled, spreading his arms, and behind him, a violet-black fissure spontaneously tore through the subspace, twisting and collapsing light as it passed.

"In... Infinite!" The Eighth Apostle was left only with bewilderment and distortion.

At this moment, the void’s monster flickered madly between entity and void, bizarre sounds streaming in from all directions; as Xue Dili fell backward into it, the Eighth Apostle realized its soul was being drawn out by some power, trickling toward that monster like melting tar.

"So you understand, this is the power of authority, we are both wielders and... slaves of authority! Just as I can’t escape the void’s erosion, neither can you escape the immortal’s corruption, when we wield authority, we cease being ourselves, but become part of authority, becoming the true, eternal slaves of this mighty power!"

Once again, Xue Dili spoke, and on his body, the mark of eternal servitude continued to erupt, this force from immortal authority began for the third time to extract the essence of the Eighth Apostle!

"How can this be, how could it be!" The Eighth Apostle desperately resisted the power of immortal authority, yet the more he resisted, the greater the reflexive extraction of his soul to become a part of the eternal servitude engraving.

Even the soul fragmented out, those Witch Demon Kings are both his slaves and a means of revival; now one after another these Witch Demon Kings met thorough death, as their souls began to be extracted by immortal power!

What’s going to happen next?

The moment eternal servitude mark struck Xue Dili,

The void’s monster once again expanded, appearing, swiftly devouring him, the whole man became part of "nothingness" within that void monster.

Everything is identical to the scene before!

"No, damn it! Stop, immortal power, I order you to stop!" The Eighth Apostle yelled, resisting desperately the immortal authority’s erosion of his soul, by now, he was weak and nearly dying.

However, this is the power of authority, even the Apostle who wields authority can only walk the path designated by authority, if wanting to go against...

Authority retaliates even more vigorously!

"Ugh aaaaahhh!" The immortal power extracted the Eighth Apostle’s soul for the fourth time, marking Xue Dili’s body with eternal servitude’s insignia.

"No, no! Number 13, let’s reconcile, we don’t have mortal vendettas, we aren’t in a situation of mutual destruction, let me go! Allow me to retrieve the engraving of eternal servitude, I’ll give you all my planets, grant you all my fruits!" The Eighth Apostle shouted hysterically.

He had already had half of his soul swallowed by the void, even the memory of his own existence had been devoured, he recognized who he was, he’s an Apostle, he needs to survive!

Survive! No matter how to survive!

"I don’t need it." Xue Dili smiled, behind him, the void’s monster chased following him, opening that void-riddled maw fully encompassing Xue Dili.

"I will kill all the apostles, and today is your last day of free breathing, Eighth Apostle, Undying King!"
