Chapter 616: Chapter 461 Freezing Power_1

"Haven’t encountered a Boundary Breaker yet, have they no sense of ambition??" After clearing another area, Zheng Yichen gazed into the distance. Till now, the enemies he encountered were all Evil Spirits, which probably hadn’t received any substantial information.

Upon seeing him, they became particularly agitated, always wanting to come over for a bite, only to be thoroughly consumed by him. Zheng Yichen had also been to Hell, where the situation remained similar to before, with newly spawned Evil Spirits and Mental Aberration creatures being the most prevalent.

Compared to what he had seen before, this was much cleaner.

"BOSS, you must understand that those Boundary Breakers aren’t fools; if they know they can’t win, they certainly won’t seek their own deaths," Lilith seriously explained this fact to Zheng Yichen, having already helped him analyze some situations.

It’s highly likely that the Boundary Breakers have joined forces with the Evil Spirits. By now, they should be aware of the ’Proxy Agent’s arrival, and might even know of Zheng Yichen’s identity...

"That’s really lacking in ambition; by killing me, they would achieve fame and success," Zheng Yichen said as he took out the white ball and squeezed it. After being fed by him in large quantities, the white ball had undergone significant changes; its texture had greatly improved, and after being flattened and rolled, no fragments inside could be felt – it seemed as if the fragments had been completely digested.

He tried to take out the previous fragments again, but the white ball showed no interest at all.

"You’re picky now, huh? Do you really want me to use this in a summoning ritual?" Tossing the fragment in his hand, since the white ball was so uncooperative, then be it. The souls he had collected were already plenty, not to mention the accumulated heaps of soul fragments and debris.

Fragments and debris couldn’t be used for soul control; besides storing them, they offered no enhancement to him. In contrast, complete souls brought him considerable improvement.

Up until now, the souls had provided him with a 22% base enhancement. He realized that with each increase in the rate of enhancement, he needed more souls to advance further. Otherwise, with the number of souls he had now, he could have increased his base enhancement by at least 35%...

The pathway of quantity wasn’t blocked, but going for volume required vastly more souls, similar to how the number of Dusk nuns corresponded to this world’s population. As long as life continued to multiply, the number of Dusk nuns would always increase and not remain fixed.

It was just that the ratio of increase would significantly spike, and in the future, the number of intelligent beings required to add one Dusk nun in other worlds would allow the number of Dusk nuns there to surge from zero to more than ten.

"While pursuing quantity, one must also maintain a sufficient quality unit." Arriving in Hell and releasing bait, he attracted all the Evil Spirits and Mental Aberration creatures he could. After a battle that didn’t last very long, the summoning ritual Zheng Yichen had prepared began to take effect. The still-alive Evil Spirits and Mental Aberration creatures attempted to escape in terror, but ultimately became part of the ritual.

Zheng Yichen threw all the useless soul fragments and debris into it. Inside the White Light summoning ritual, a brief torrential downpour formed by Soul Power took place. After completing this, he tossed the Great Evil God fragment, now devoid of soul, into the magic array formation.

This time, the light bursting from the summoning ritual wasn’t a sky-reaching white light; within the brilliance, hints of ice blue were also visible.

"What will it be this time?" Zheng Yichen once again awaited expectantly, while Lilith, perched on his shoulder, appeared calm.

She said, "BOSS, the summoning ritual has a high degree of randomness. Introducing some guiding materials will affect the result, but if you’re looking for beautiful women or cute girls as summoned spirits, it’s difficult to achieve. Based on my analysis, if you want to summon that type of spirit, perhaps by inserting one or several strong and resilient young female souls, you might get what you wish for?"

"Let’s discuss that when I encounter a powerful and evil sorceress," Zheng Yichen waited for the summoning ritual to end, while the fire dragon rambled on about how summoning rituals in this world are prone to issues. Zheng Yichen dismissed the possibility with a ’Pff’.

So far, the summoning rituals he had used always went smoothly... cough cough.

Alright, except for the summoning rituals released through the fishing rod, they did tend to go awry, starting with environmental distortion. Summoned spirits born out of such distortion were anything but normal; Evil Spirits turned eviler, Heroic Spirits no so heroic, or worse, they might not appear at all.

Moreover, the environmental distortion caused by those rituals could affect nearby individuals, leading them to willingly become part of the ritual and turn into sacrifices.

With a bit of luck and no intervention, if Zheng Yichen threw an out-of-control summoning ritual into the city center and gained a stable start, then it was only a matter of time before an entire city fell. The more input a summoning ritual received, the greater its impact, and the higher its intensity would become.

Zheng Yichen didn’t know whether summoning rituals inherently had this effect, or if it was a manifestation of ’growth potential’ within this world’s special environment. But anything that exhibited growth potential was always interesting to delve into.

The summoning ritual ended, and the chill spread across the ground. Zheng Yichen, feeling the final form of an ice crystal, had an odd expression on his face; the object before him resembled an ice block but was quite stylish. Its shape reminded Zheng Yichen of the Fifth Angel from an anime.

As he approached, he could feel the cold intensifying. However, this chill didn’t bring a physical sensation of cold, but rather a cool feeling. It also gave Zheng Yichen a peculiar sense of déjà vu—was this cold similar to that of the Ice Heart Mantra?

Well, if the silhouette Evil Spirit that became a shadow after being burned to ashes had the Flames of Rage, then this ice crystal Heroic Spirit, resembling the Fifth Angel, possessed... lazy freezing.

No, it was in its Heroic Spirit form now, not an Evil Spirit. Given the multi-handed Heroic Spirit as a reference, even if the attributes were the same, some aspects would be inverse. So what effect did this kind of freezing power have?

Zheng Yichen decided to test it out and found that this freezing power was different from what he’d previously experienced. The most straightforward comparison was that the Great Evil God’s freezing made people first feel lazy and depressed, and the more they indulged in it, the stronger the freezing power became.

The freezing exhibited by the ice crystal Heroic Spirit, on the other hand, was ’stability,’ still related to ’laziness’ but manifested in a different form. The Great Evil God released an energy that made people depressed and lazy, a surrender to all, while this energy made people positively ’lazy,’ to better ’slack off.’

When using this power on one’s allies, it could stabilize their positive mental state. For instance, when one’s spirit of struggle against evil and disorder ignited, peaking and about to decline.

The ice crystal could freeze this mental state, keeping it stable at its peak for a long time. However, once this was done, it would become difficult to improve upon the existing foundation due to the stable freezing.

Correspondingly, the effect of this stabilizing freeze was ’damage’ when applied to chaos and disorder, including demonic thoughts. The more chaotic and disordered something was, the stronger the feedback from the stabilizing element of the freeze, enhancing the freezing power.

Overall, while the power of the ice crystal wouldn’t make people more active or hard-working, it could keep those who were positive and diligent in their optimal state without change, whereas chaos and disorder were constantly undergoing dramatic changes.

The power of the ice crystal could ’lazily’ freeze them, preventing them from changing with the chaos and disorder.

"Is this not too bad?"

"...Boss, in many ways, this power is already very buggy. As long as the force it exerts doesn’t dissipate, the enthusiasm of the affected person in that aspect will remain forever. That’s very powerful," Lilith observed the octahedral crystal floating in mid-air, one meter in diameter and two meters tall.

This Heroic Spirit and the silhouette Evil Spirit had opposite attributes, but their modes of attack were similar; the flames or ice they generated spread from the inside out.

The ash-like silhouette Evil Spirit carried the Flames of Rage which required anger as fuel. The ice from the ice crystal became stronger with the stimulus of chaos and disorder. When used on allies, since it’s a buff and not considering damage, it was irrelevant whether the stimulation would lead to improvement—it was key for the mental state to be frozen.

Under this frozen state, if an ally was subjected to a chaotic and disordered type of mental attack, it would instead stimulate this freezing power, further stabilizing and maintaining the person’s mental state, forming a unique kind of protection.

Zheng Yichen, a being with multiple attributes, quickly clarified the characteristics of the ice crystal’s power.

He wouldn’t be able to use this kind of freezing during the Demonic Abyss Seven Kills; even though the Heroic Spirit was linked to Zheng Yichen in a master-servant relationship, this wasn’t enough to distort the characteristics of the ice crystal’s power. If he forced the freezing power of the ice crystal on himself, because of the ice crystal’s presence to avoid harm, he would indeed be frozen.

Zheng Yichen considered it a novel idea. Since it could avoid self-inflicted damage, he could attempt to create a specialized ’refrigerator’ form to resist external attacks. By using the demonic thoughts capable of deploying the Demonic Abyss Seven Kills to stimulate the freezing power of the ice crystal, he could surely form a very solid ice block.

"It’s weaker compared to the silhouette Evil Spirit; it needs to be strengthened," Zheng Yichen remarked, patting the body of the ice crystal Heroic Spirit. The object looked like a large ice block, but touching it still only brought a cool sensation, not causing frostbite from continuous contact like holding an ice block.

It would be perfect for sleeping with on hot summer nights.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t some Frost Queen or an expressionless cute girl, which Zheng Yichen found slightly regrettable as he stored away the ice crystal Heroic Spirit. Having used up most of his rare materials and the Essence of Life almost filling his bones, he didn’t need to hunt extensively anymore. He could gradually fill up the gaps with daily indulgences in food and drink.

It was time to get back to serious business!
