Soul Of Negary

“Can we really all become Authority Holders?” various discussions and doubts were being voiced in the lecture hall.

The bulk of [Survivors] members were ordinary people, they existed all over the 7th domain, or perhaps even the entire country.

They knew what happened in the Yue Bu earthquake, they knew that the Yue Bu earthquake was caused by the government and the D.E.R division for the sake of the process on the Apocalypse Stone Tablet.

And they also knew the majority of the stone tablet’s content.

As the survivors of Yue Bu, they were distrustful of the government and the D.E.R division, but at the same time, they were worried about the approaching Apocalypse, because of these factors, a seemingly great idea started to circulate within this organization.

Both the government and the D.E.R division were those in power, those who held resources in their hands. They were untrustworthy, foolish idiots who only looked after themselves while disregarding ordinary people.

Since this was the case, why not let us replace them? Why can’t we replace those leeches who do nothing for the betterment of this world?

From this idea, a plan was hatched, which everyone willingly strived to accomplish.

The reason why the leather jacket man managed to use [Survivors]’s ideology impression to take control of them was due to his [Origin] ability: [Grand Ideal].

His ability is to set a grand ideal that as long as a person agreed with and openly vowed to an set oath, they would be marked by this ability, then encouraged to strive towards it. Everything regarding this ideal would be protected by the ability and made it so that no matter what kind of severe interrogation one was subjected to, even if the interrogated person spilled every word about who they peeked on in the bath when they were young, they would still keep the grand ideal an absolute secret.

Furthermore, as long as it was for the sake of the grand ideal, a marked person would not hesitate to do anything.

Naturally, there were also limitations to this ability. For example, Authority Holders couldn’t be marked by [Grand Ideal], which was also how Luo Ping almost got hypnotized by Chang Xia.

Another limitation was that, if not for the sake of their grand ideal, the marked targets were nothing but ordinary people.

Furthermore, if someone didn’t agree with the grand ideal that he set, this ability couldn’t mark them either.

In hindsight, it was quite ridiculous that the true goal of a person who had such an ability was nothing but revenge.

Perhaps, a long time ago, the leather jacket man also had his own grand ideal: to either follow that great man, or become a person like he was. For others, that goal might be insignificant, but for the young man of 16 years ago, that was his lifelong ideal, and yet it was destroyed.

“Everyone gathered in this lecture hall are those marked by my ability” the leather jacket man laughed: “Many of them are spies from other forces, some only wish to enjoy the benefits of being in [Survivors], but once they’re marked by my ability, they no longer had a choice but to strive towards the grand ideal”

“Let’s go, let’s pronounce our target” the leather jacket man turned and spoke to the man behind him: “The target is here, and that traitor as well. The Source Pool’s power has begun to become active”

“Understood, leader” the two people who stood behind the leather jacket man replied. One of them was Wang Zhao, previously a special agent under the government. After using his Authority to drive Wang Heng Yang to ambush Fang Ze, he once again returned to the shadows.

The other person was another agent under the government, Liu Bian, Liu Shi’s senior brother. Just like her, he was a survivor of the Yue Bu earthquake, and the holder of the [Cut Wounds] Authority.

And both of them were now standing behind the leather jacket man.

Liu Bian was found and picked up by the leather jacket man in the aftermath of the earthquake. Although an Authority Holder couldn’t be marked, Liu Bian was still only a child who just received his Authority. With the trauma of the disaster still fresh in his mind and the leather jacket man’s brainwashing, the young Liu Bian became half-marked.

After which he was taken to the official disaster relief shelter and left there. The leather jacket man knew that due to his Authority, Liu Bian would definitely be chosen to become either a member of the government or the D.E.R division.

As for Wang Zhao, this person actually came to him instead of the other way around. At the time, the leather jacket man had even thought that he was exposed, but Wang Zhao actually claimed that he wanted to join him, as he liked the feeling of spreading crime.

While the leather jacket man wasn’t convinced, Wang Zhao actively offered to have his heart implanted with a bomb, the remote detonator now given to the leather jacket man to keep.

If he couldn’t even accept Wang Zhao into his ranks at this point, then the leather jacket man would be too much of a coward. When a person couldn’t handle even the slightest risk of betrayal, he would most likely not be able to amount to anything great.

As he came into the lecture hall from the hidden room below, his face finally came into view. He had almost the exact same appearance as Yu Guang Ming, if only a bit artificial. As one observed him carefully, they would find that this was achieved through cosmetic surgery.

“Ladies, gentlemen, you should all know of the content of the Apocalypse Stone Tablet by now. God distributed his Authorities to people of the world, but that was not the case at all. This is because those despicable bastards are keeping the Source Pool that contains the Authorities that were supposed to be given to everyone to themselves”

“They’re keeping the Source Pool within their hands, only granting Authorities to the very few” the leather jacket man explained: “But now, I’ve led the key to the Source Pool to us and made the preparations for him”

“As soon as he arrives, he will open the Source Pool for us, the Authorities of God will finally be distributed, all of us here will become Authority Holders, and together with the hidden cards we planted, we shall overthrow those bastards and become the true people in power!”

The leather jacket man stated it plainly and simply, as if victory was already right in front of their eyes and all they needed to do was reach out to grab it.

While every member of [Survivors] present felt excited and enthusiastic, Killer J was sitting barefooted with both legs on top of a chair, licking a tube of powdered sweets as he sighed: “How unfortunate, I’m not wearing a white long sleeves shirt right now… wait, I actually heard that guy became a fatty later on, it’s better not to cosplay him after all”

“What exactly are you saying? Don’t act up now” the fatty who was next to him was first enthusiastic to hear about being able to become an Authority Holder, but felt a huge headache as soon as he heard Killer J’s ramblings.

This guy claimed that he was a Yue Bu native, so I brought him in to undergo the oath ceremony and even confirmed that he had been marked. Only after that did he officially become a member of [Survivors] and was brought here.

But is someone with this kind of shifty behavior and mental state really fit to become an Authority Holder?

The fatty was beginning to question his own decision of helping his guy join [Survivors].

“I’m saying that your boss’ action plan is too simple” Killer J answered the fatty right away: “Using secret information to lure that guy’s maid over here, then using the maid to lure that guy into his trap. What kind of second-rate novel cliché of a plan is that supposed to be?”

“What do you mean ‘yours’, it’s ‘ours’…” the fatty couldn’t help but retort: “And what maid are you talking about…?”

And then immediately, the fatty saw Liu Shi who was tied up on top of the podium.

“This is totally the plot of a p**no isn’t it? Miserable classroom maid.avi?” Killer J’s expression was full of excitement with that thought in mind.

…

Outside the university, many people were trying to convince Fang Ze against his actions. They knew that it was a trap, and Liu Shi decided to go there on her own, she was the one who abandoned the King, so wasn’t it fitting for her as a subordinate to sacrifice herself for the sake of her king?

“A subordinate sacrificing themselves for their king is one thing, but a king who sits by as his subordinate dies is another matter entirely. It might be a foolish decision, but this is MY decision, as a Disaster King” Fang Ze ignored all the persuasion as he continued forward.
