Chapter 480 Real Goal
The whole inner world began to shake. Alex felt something in his soul being torn, but he ignored it and kept pulling."S-stop it! If you do this, you'll also hurt yourself."
"Hurt me? So what if my soul tears a bit? I'll just recover as time passes," Alex replied calmly.
His soul wasn't something that could be easily extinguished. Alex calmly judged that if he didn't do this, Byakhee would keep infiltrating even further. Seeing the situation in his inner world, he suspected Byakhee's goal was not just to disrupt the balance but to become the human part of Alex without him realizing it.
Then, it would slowly corrupt his soul, turning him into another of Byakhee's avatars.
'My emotions, he's doing something to them.'
Alex knew humans had done many weird things because of emotions. If Byakhee had manipulated them from the soul, he might as well have been better off without any.
He had read many cases of humans, even after amnesia, still having the same emotions toward an individual, whether hate, love or even disgust.
If Byakhee made Alex hate humanity or something similar, the result would be catastrophic.
Cracks started to appear in the world as Alex exerted more strength.
Outside, MingYue frowned as she saw Alex's situation.
His life force became unstable, and his qi flowed backward. It was like he was a demonic cultivator about to start a rampage.
Worried, MingYue touched his shoulder. She entered his inner world.
The sky was cracked like a shattered mirror, the island split in half. The crimson sea churned high like a storm was brewing.
It wasn't as bad as a fractured world, but MingYue could tell the inner world was being split apart. She leaped down,
At the end of the chain, deep inside Alex's consciousness, passing through many of his memories, was a black slime covering a few large spheres.
Each one was larger than those she had seen before. It was part of his most important memories that made Alex who he was.
MingYue stopped and started observing the situation. If she acted carelessly, there was a risk of destroying these memories.
'Vesa! Tell me you have a solution. How could you not even realize this?'
'I'm sorry, Queen, but I don't peek this deep into either of your souls. Those memories surrounded by Byakhee are the main ones that build up King's personality.'
'Do you mean right now he's forgotten all this?' MingYue asked in disbelief.
There were a few memories she recognized, one of them being their first meeting. There was also one where Alex was backstabbed by his friend. Each was a pivotal memory; if he really forgot them, many things wouldn't make sense.
'King doesn't forget them, but Byakhee's influence has removed the emotional attachment impact from them. And it seems it's trying to manipulate the memories.'
'Is that possible?'
'Manipulating memories is very possible, but manipulating one from the depths of the soul is something new.'
Memories in the brain and memories in the soul were two different things, and what MingYue saw now was the latter.
For example, if only the memory in the brain was manipulated to see MingYue as an enemy, Alex would still feel something was wrong deep inside.
It would be like the memory wasn't his, and something would bug him until he realized the truth. But if it was one from his soul, then he would never feel anything weird or strange.
He would have zero suspicion.
'Their methods are becoming more sophisticated,' Vesa said with worry.
This was something even the progenitor of that time hadn't achieved. It made her realize their preparation was nowhere near enough—they needed more.
