Chapter 2598 Â Devour
[Hint: The playerâs current mission guidance has been updated-Temporary Artifact.]
Mission guidance: The Empressâs will is scattered across the world. Since the mausoleum has been destroyed and there is no container to hold the Empressâs will, you are required to temporarily serve as this container. (Hint: This guidance may carry risks. The player may choose to find another container and transfer the Empressâs will.)
Fang Heng glanced at the mission description.
Risks?
That wasnât a concernâŠ
At this point, the damage to his soulâs will when he first devoured the Empressâs will had completely healed.
He wasnât afraid to do it again!
In fact, there was a part of him that felt a hidden excitement.
Letâs see how this mission plays out.
If it doesnât work, then he could just try again!
He turned to Sirius and said, âAlright, letâs begin.â
âI canât guarantee success, but Iâll do my best,â Sirius said, letting out a deep sigh. He focused his energy, then solemnly added, âBe careful, Fang Heng!â
âWhoosh!!!â
Sirius quickly formed a seal with his hands in front of him.
Immediately, several black shadows surged out from his body, rushing from all directions toward the Empressâs will.
Chi!!!
The black shadows immediately entangled and locked the shattered will of the Empress tightly.
Within a few seconds, a layer of cold sweat had already formed on Siriusâs forehead.
The situation wasnât looking good!
Fang Heng could see it clearly from the side.
The broken will of the Empress, sensing Siriusâs control, was attempting to break free from the restraints.
If Sirius had been at full strength, it would have been easier, but now, with most of his body already on the brink of death, it was clear he could not control the Empressâs fractured will.
He couldnât let the Empressâs will escape!
Fang Heng quickly pulled a large, shattered blue crystal pillar from his backpack.
This blue crystal had once been the central pillar of the mausoleum, a piece he had obtained when the pillar exploded and shattered.
He hoped it would be useful!
âWhoosh!!â
Fang Heng rapidly poured his mental strength into the blue crystal.
âBuzzâŠ!â
In an instant, the blue crystal reacted, rapidly emitting ripples that spread outward.
It worked!
Fang Hengâs eyes narrowed.
Under the influence of the blue ripples, the shattered will of the Empress no longer resisted violently. Instead, it slowly began to drift toward Fang Heng.
Sirius stared at the blue ice crystal in Fang Hengâs hand, a look of astonishment appearing in his eyes.
He actually had a fragment of the ice crystal pillar!
This was fantastic!
As the Empressâs will slowly gathered around the ice crystal, Sirius suddenly unleashed all his remaining mental strength.
Boom!!!
The next moment, the Empressâs will surged violently into Fang Hengâs body in an overwhelming rush!
Siriusâs gaze fixed on Fang Heng, his focus sharp.
This was the crucial moment!
The power he had just used to suppress the Empressâs will was all that remained of his strength. It was his last chance!
Injecting the Empressâs will into Fang Hengâs bodyâŠ
The Empressâs will was not something an ordinary person could bear. It would certainly devour Fang Hengâs will.
If only the Empressâs will hadnât been shattered.
At this point, the most likely outcome was that the Empressâs will would fuse with Fang Hengâs, both sharing control of the body.
This way, the Empress would regain at least a small portion of her power, while Fang Heng would be able to retain his remaining will.
However, over time, as the Empress gradually absorbed more willpower, her will would eventually dominate the body entirely.
This was the only chance!
It was his last opportunity, just before his death, to help the Empressâs will revive!
Fang Hengâs eyes were tightly shut.
As the shattered will of the Empress surged into his body, it immediately rushed toward his sea of consciousness.
Tch!
It was happening again!
Just like last time!
The overwhelming will of the Empress invaded his sea of consciousness, immediately attempting to seize control.
Fang Heng snorted coldly in his mind.
Exactly what I wanted!
Letâs have a real fight!
After absorbing part of the Empressâs residual will last time, Fang Hengâs experience in battling wills had improved significantly. His efficiency in using his own will in combat had also increased.
This time, he even felt that the Empressâs will was weaker than the shattered force she had sent before.
This was doable!
He could handle it!
From the depths of the sea of consciousness, the power of the demonic seed surged forth and began to merge with Fang Hengâs will.
The two forces collided immediately, battling each other with ferocity!
They devoured each other!

Outside, Sirius watched Fang Heng stand motionless, a growing sense of unease swelling within him.
Whatâs going on?
Why hasnât it ended yet?
With the Empressâs powerful will, shouldnât it be easy for her to obliterate this kidâs willpower?
Could it be that somethingâs wrong with this broken will?
What if the Empress loses control after taking over the body and goes mad?
For a moment, countless thoughts raced through Siriusâs mind.
Kotal and the others, who were following closely behind, also began to grow suspicious. They couldnât help but glance at Sirius, silently seeking answers from his expression.
Hmm?
Sirius raised an eyebrow.
Itâs happening!
Fang Heng, whose brows had been tightly furrowed, began to relax them.
Then, thick, dense black mist started to pour out of Fang Hengâs body, swirling outward in waves.
Itâs the Empressâs power!
Siriusâs heart pounded wildly.
[Hint: The player has successfully shattered part of Empress Persephoneâs remaining will.]
[Hint: The player has obtained high-tier holy spirit crystal*20.]
Two red game prompts flashed across Fang Hengâs retina.
With the Empressâs shattered will completely destroyed, the energy of the Empress exploded, flooding the sea of consciousness!
In the sea of consciousness, the ice crystal that had been shrinking began to release its power, rapidly absorbing the vast energy pouring in.
However, since the ice crystal had already reduced in size over the past few days, its conversion efficiency was much lower than before.
A significant amount of energy leaked out, escaping from Fang Hengâs body.
Damn, what a waste!
Fang Heng couldnât help but feel regret over the energy that had escaped.
Thereâs nothing I can do now.
All he could do was control the energy, trying his best to prevent any more from leaking out, while also accelerating the absorption rate of the ice crystal.
[Hint: The player is currently absorbing death strength. The player gains experience points for God of the Underworld Bloodline: +1,121,000.]
[Hint: The playerâs God of the Underworld Bloodline has reached Level 21.]
[Hint: The player continues absorbing death strengthâŠ]
The conversion continued!
Meanwhile, outside, everyone watching Fang Heng remain motionless began to sense something was off.
âPriest Sirius, do you think somethingâs wrong?â someone asked, concerned.
Sirius kept his gaze fixed on Fang Heng.
Everything happening before his eyes made no sense. He was completely unable to understand the situation.
Why was the Empressâs power leaking out of Fang Hengâs body?
Wait!
Sirius racked his brain and finally came up with what seemed like a reasonable explanation.
It must be that Fang Hengâs body could not bear all the power!
To prevent the body from being overwhelmed, the Empressâs will must have been forced to expel some of its strength.
That must be it!
Just wait!
This was his last chance!
As the aura leaking from Fang Hengâs body gradually diminished, everything seemed to return to a calm, almost serene state.
