Chapter 62

As the dean of the Wizard Tower and second only to the master of the Hyperdimensional Tower, Victor had enough authority to make his laboratory independent of the Wizard Tower's monitoring system. Everything that happened in his laboratory would not be sent to the monitoring system but to him first.

When the alarm sounded in the laboratory, Dean Victor instantly appeared in front of Adam. He reached out his hand and tapped on Adam's floating naked body. The projection of the Soul Sea appeared in front of him.

The observation instrument in Dean Victor's laboratory recorded all the changes that happened to Adam's soul. This kind of data was very valuable for the research of mutated souls and mutated creatures. This was also the reason why he tolerated Adam's existence.

Time had different standards in different frames of reference. For a powerhouse of Victor The Mage's level, he had already grasped the relative time of his own body. Therefore, time in a broad sense did not mean much. He had infinite patience to wait for the results of anything that interested him.

The rational Adam did not care about the passage of time. He was immersed in the battle between the two monsters of despair. The virtual persona did not care either. He only wanted to eat the other monster.

This kind of battle was very clear at the beginning. The two monsters kept tearing information from each other to strengthen themselves. However, later on, the battle became unclear and the two monsters showed signs of merging.

Now, such an evil scene was unfolding in front of Dean Victor. The two monsters' bodies merged together. The only thing that could be distinguished was their heads. They were still tearing at each other. One of the heads was at an absolute disadvantage and was about to be completely devoured by the other.

"Even if your doppelganger wins, how will you deal with the energy of despair? Rely on despair to advance on the path of ancient magic and become an Anti-Mage? Or be destroyed? " Victor The Mage stood aside and muttered to the rational persona hiding in the dark. He then quietly waited for the final result.

The two monsters fought for the same purpose. They both wanted to become the leader of this soul's despair. In Victor The Mage's opinion, if there was no miracle, no matter who won, Adam, the 'existence', would not be accepted by the mainstream.

About five hours later, one of the heads tore the last bit of information from the other and obtained the final victory.

Adam's soul had completely become a monster of despair, and it was beginning to become abnormal.

The distortion and chaos had never been as clear as it was now. This kind of abnormality even affected his body. In front of Victor The Mage, Adam's withered body became plump, and a dark gray color began to spread out. The strength of his soul became stronger and stronger, gradually surpassing the threshold of an apprentice and climbing towards the level of a mage.

Victor The Mage did not stop this process. He wanted to see the final result. Regardless of whether Adam evolved or mutated, a mere Level 6 Life Rating was like an ant in front of him. He could easily crush him.

A dense grey color spread out from Adam's soul and entered his brain and every cell. The higher level of energy rapidly improved Adam's life essence. This energy was so tyrannical that it instantly tore apart the restraints on Adam in the laboratory.

Adam floated in the air, and after letting out a roar, his soul overflowed from the top of his head, releasing an aura of despair into the surroundings.

Dean Victor shook his head regretfully. "He actually managed to complete his advancement with just a single spell. Such talent is truly terrifying. It's a pity that this path is not accessible to the world. " The advancement of ancient spells would only be completed after the soul completely left the body and absorbed the Ether to replenish the body. The current situation was already irreversible.

However, when he was about to completely destroy Adam's' existence ', something strange happened. The rational Adam suddenly entered the soul of despair.

The overflowing soul was forcefully dragged back into the Sea of Soul by a weak but tenacious and clear consciousness. The comprehensive transformation of the body was forcibly stopped. The cells and tissues that had been transformed by the negative energy were cut off by this energy and expelled out of the body through the pores. Adam let out a painful scream under the extreme imbalance of his internal system.

This was really a pain that no human could endure.

Victor The Mage was stunned and stopped his action. Even with his experience, he did not expect something like this to happen. Forcibly stopping the advancement?

"The transformation of the body can be stopped, but what about the soul?" Victor The Mage was still not optimistic.

The light screen appeared again, showing the shocking scene in Adam's soul.

A little light swayed and rose from the gray soul of despair. The light was weak but incomparably firm. Under the illumination of this faint light, the gray aura of despair kept retreating as if it had met its natural enemy.

This was the purest and coldest reason. It had no emotions and would not be affected by any negative emotions. It only had the belief to take back control of the body.

Even though the monster of despair was already a part of his soul, in his logical thinking, Adam was Adam, and the monster was just a monster.

What he needed to do now was to scan the monster, isolate it, and then completely kill or eliminate it.

The light rose into the Sea of Soul, and the gray aura faded away like the tide. The message of despair in the soul was shaking uneasily, fearing the weak but incomparably powerful reason.

The light fell back into the soul, and the gray aura was like frost under the sunlight, melting little by little and being forced out little by little.

Victor The Mage actually clapped his hands in admiration. "Amazing wisdom, amazing belief. But your soul has already fallen to a lower level. How are you going to completely eliminate the negative energy?"

Indeed, although the negative energy was forced out of the soul, it still stayed in the Sea of Soul. Adam's life essence had also fallen to a lower level. Facing the energy of an official level, he did not have the ability to eliminate it at all. The situation seemed to have returned to how it was before.

When Adam once again took control of his soul, he could not help but let out a comfortable moan. Even his broken body stretched out. His ferocious and twisted face also showed a comfortable expression. It looked very strange.

The soul's expression was not serious, nor was it panicked. Although the current situation seemed to be the same as before, it was completely different.

It was no longer a magic spell cast by Peter Amu. Instead, it had become a promotion energy that Adam had voluntarily given up. Its' master 'had changed from Peter Amu to Adam.

"It's my thing. Of course it should be controlled by me." Adam looked at the restless negative energy and calmly transmitted a message.

Energy was conserved. Perhaps there were some errors in this law in the Mage Plane, but it could not be completely contrary. Since this energy could be absorbed by Adam, it could definitely be absorbed by other things.

The other humans and creatures had no connection with Adam's soul. It was impossible for them to be willing to accept this inferior energy. However, Adam still had a card that he had originally regarded as trash, the Devil. With the characteristics of the Devil race, it would definitely be easy for it to accept this garbage energy.

It did not matter even if it was not enough to support the promotion of a lifeform with pure will. Adam only regarded the Devil as a trash can.

Adam summoned the Devil into his Sea of Soul. For the past year, the Devil had been trembling in a thread that was on the verge of collapse. Now that it saw Adam, it actually cried out loud and threw itself at Adam.

"Master, master! You're still alive, you're fine! Great, I don't have to die, and I don't have to stay in that narrow place! "

Adam swept it aside with a kick and bound it through the contract. Then he said to the Devil, "Do you want to become stronger?"

The Devil was stunned. This sounded like something a Devil would say.

It looked at Adam and then at the negative energy beside it. It instantly understood what Adam meant. It struggled violently. "No, master, you can't do this. I'll die. I can't withstand this energy. I'll explode."

Victor The Mage's eyes lit up. So that's how it is. A Devil?

Adam was unmoved. "You're a lifeform with will. Your promotion originally relied on the negative energy and your soul. Now that there's an opportunity for you to evolve, why would you refuse?"

Adam was completely lying to it. Although it had lost its inherited memory, it knew that its promotion could not rely on the energy that others had refined. The Devil struggled even more violently. It felt that Adam was constantly adjusting its frequency of consciousness through the contract, so that its waves and energy were compatible. "Master, I can't. I really can't. Please think of another way. I'll really die."

"Cut the crap!" Adam violently pulled the Devil and stuffed it into the negative energy.

Despair found an outlet. It felt the presence of a soul of the same origin. Suddenly, it crazily poured into the Devil's will.

The Devil let out a short and tragic howl. Its chaotic form was constantly shattered and reformed by the violent energy. It was destroyed and reborn thousands of times in an instant.

The howl only lasted for a second. The Devil's will was on the verge of shattering. Adam separated a part of his soul power and transferred it to the Devil through the contract, helping it to stabilize its existence.

The energy outside became less and less. The Devil's body became more and more condensed. It was gradually turning from a lifeform with pure will into a physical body.

Soon, the energy completely entered the Devil's body. Adam threw it out of the Sea of Soul as fast as he could, and then took the initiative to cancel the master-servant contract.

"Smart way." Victor The Mage praised.

The purpose of canceling the contract was to cut off the negative energy's connection with his soul and transfer everyone to the Devil. From then on, the energy would no longer have any connection with Adam. It had completely become the Devil's power.

Adam's soul finally returned to his body. Suddenly, a great sense of weakness hit him. He could not help but fall to the ground.
