Worldly Overlord - Chapter 52

“Uhm, Uhm…. Kid, I’ll be imparting all that I know about souls to you, including both the skills, technique, and abilities that come with it.”

“I prefer not to brag but any child who’s capable of soul ability is destined to be very unique among his peers.” The sovereign said with a proud smile on his face.

Devon’s mind was somewhere else the entire time. He wasn’t even paying attention to the sovereign due to him not being able to concentrate.

“Why do I feel like there’s some missing gap in my memory,” Devon mumbled those words in a tone that only he could hear?

“Voice, what had just happened?” He immediately questioned the voice.

And just like he had anticipated, the voice made up some words that did not seem to go with his reasoning. He could tell that there was something the voice was hiding from him.

Besides, this wasn’t the first time something like this had happened. It also happened when he was at all the heaven alliance, but during that time he actually believed the voice words.

It was now that things were beginning to become clearer to him. No one would be in this situation and wouldn’t find it disturbing.

“Kid, is there something you don’t understand?” The sovereign said, staring at the youth, who appeared to be dazed at his words.

“No, I’m good,” Devon stated.

A deep furrow appeared on the sovereign’s forehead, though Devon didn’t notice anything strange from his voice, the sovereign felt a big difference in it.

His voice had become colder, while his eyes seemed to have become duller. The sovereign sighed, thinking it must be because of the stress he had been through lately.

Devon wasn’t yet aware that anytime he feels that memory gap, he also loses something else.

“Before I begin teaching you the abilities a soul powerhouse can possess, I am going to explain what soul itself is.” The sovereign said.

The soul is the spirit or essence of anything. In any of the worlds, the soul is supreme. The soul is said to be the most mysterious existence in any being’s body. It was also profound and difficult to understand.

That was part of the reason why those who were born with strong souls were capable of stepping into a higher level than those with a normal type.

All things in the world had a spirit. The aspects of souls couldn’t ever be comprehended fully as it was shrouded in layers of mystery

It even had the secret of life and immortality in it.

The stronger the soul of any being, the greater one’s talent. It was then up to the person which aspect he or she would like to pursue. One either specializes in soul or becomes a battle-type powerhouse.

Throughout history, there was no one capable of becoming both. Over the years many had tried, but they had all suffered severely.

“If becoming both was impossible, then why are you teaching me?” Devon inquired.

The sovereign laughed at Devon’s words for a good five minutes before giving him a reply to his question. “Kid, that’s because you’re a monster.”

Soul could be divided into seven stages namely, Red soul stage, orange soul stage, yellow soul stage, green soul stage, blue soul stage, indigo soul stage, and lastly the violet soul stage.

Each soul stage bringing several significant changes and increase in power.

“Soul powerhouse were blessed with celestial energy right from birth. As they were known to possess a tremendous amount of energy.”

“However, nothing comes without a cost.” The sovereign then sighed deeply.

Soul powerhouse was known for having a short life span. Each stage only receiving a boost of one thousand years to his or her life span. Compared to the life span a battle-type powerhouse possesses, that was very short.

“So, how many lifespans do you have left?” Devon asked.

“Hehehehehehe……. That rule only applies to” The sovereign was about to say something when he felt a change in the surrounding.”

The sovereign felt a change in the environment asif someone telling him to keep his mouth shut. He then remembered the words his master said to him before he got here.

“In this world, someone is preventing that kid from knowing about souls, which is

why I want you to take him to your world and teach him everything he needs to know.”

A frown appeared on the sovereign’s face, never in his wildest dream did he expect the person to be able to reach out to him here.

“Forget about that, let’s move on to soul techniques.” The sovereign said.

“It’s a good thing that you’re learning from the very best, and I can proudly say that in this world no one can claim to be the best in front of me.” Though he managed to change the topic, the sovereign couldn’t hide how shock he was.

Devon didn’t fail to notice the change in the sovereign. He just stood there, folding his hands across his chest.

“Unlike the dominator styles of teaching, mine is entirely different because I’m going to be doing soul impartation.” The sovereign said, pointing his index finger at Devon.

Soul impartation was one of the long-lost techniques that were lost during the ancient days. If any soul powerhouse in the underground world sees this, he or she would be deeply stunned.

During those days soul, impartation was one of the best ways of passing information, skills etcetera. It is efficient as the knowledge is always stuck in the person’s memory.

This was how children who were born into the royal family and important families were mostly trained.

Later, soul Impartation began a forbidden technique as some evil soul powerhouse began to convert people into a memory seed.

The memory seed would then be sold out or absorbed by them. He or she would acquire all the knowledge of the latter. It was indeed true that everything that had an advantage would have the disadvantage

Devon felt like his head was about to burst out due to the amount of information that was rushing through him. Different skills and techniques were flowing through his head at a very fast rate.

Soul absorption, soul creation, soul shield, soul possession, soul resurrection, soul creation, soul destruction. Various type of abilities was being absorbed into his memory.

Devon could tell that most of the abilities could only be used till he reaches at least the green soul stage.

That alone could show how terrifying the techniques were. And a few minutes later, Devon fainted from the overload.

The sovereign walked towards Devon who had already fainted, he then crouched down and placed his palm on Devon’s forehead.. He seemed to be passing some sort of energy to the kid.
