After Ye Ling enveloped the aggregate of resentment with demonic energy, he did not immediately obliterate it. Instead, he used the demonic energy to sculpt a perfect body for the aggregate.
Soon, the aggregate of resentment became anthropomorphic, transforming into a handsome, long-haired youth.
Upon receiving the body shaped by Ye Ling's assistance, the aggregate of resentment finally realized that Ye Ling was not allied with Takamagahara. It immediately knelt before Ye Ling and pledged allegiance, saying, "Thank you, my lord, for the grace of rebirth. I shall repay your kindness with all that I have!"
Ye Ling spoke to the long-haired youth kneeling before him, "I have merely provided you with a temporary body. This body is sufficient for you to witness the downfall of Takamagahara."
"However, you were ultimately born from the resentment of many, an evil entity that should not exist in this world. Your vessels have all gone to be reincarnated. Therefore, after you have exacted your revenge, you will dissipate into the heavens and earth. Do you understand?"
The long-haired youth respectfully replied, "I understand… My lord, the opportunity you have given me is more than I could ever ask for. I desire nothing else."
"It is good that you understand," Ye Ling nodded. He then conjured a large amount of demonic energy in his palm and channeled it into the long-haired youth.
Following this, Ye Ling condensed several runes around the long-haired youth, acting as restrictions to limit his power.
The long-haired youth felt the surge of demonic energy within him, a flicker of shock crossing his eyes. He exclaimed to Ye Ling in astonishment, "My lord, this is..."
Ye Ling explained, "This is the power I bestow upon you. When you break the seal, the unleashed power will be enough to obliterate a Saint. However, this power is a one-time use. Once expended, it will destroy all the skills within your body, and you will perish as a result."
"You have only one chance, and the usage of this power is time-limited. Therefore, how you seize this opportunity is entirely up to you."
Upon hearing Ye Ling's words, the long-haired youth was stunned for a moment before understanding Ye Ling's intent. His eyes filled with ecstatic joy, and he immediately kowtowed gratefully to Ye Ling, "Thank you, my lord, for fulfilling my wish!!!"
He could never have imagined that Ye Ling would allow him to personally seek revenge!
He was born for revenge. If he could truly slay his enemies with his own hands, then he would have no regrets even in death.
The power Ye Ling bestowed upon him had, in essence, granted all his wishes!
Meanwhile, Mutou Masao was utterly bewildered. He stared blankly at Ye Ling, his mind turning into a complete mess!
He knew very well what kind of supreme beings Saints were. They stood at the pinnacle of the Three Realms, terrifying existences that transcended countless deities!
And now, Ye Ling casually bestowed a mass of demonic energy upon the aggregate of resentment, claiming that it could kill a Saint with that energy. To Mutou Masao, his first reaction was that Ye Ling was boasting!
This was simply impossible!
But...
Mutou Masao understood in his heart that both he and the aggregate of resentment were mere pawns, crushed by Ye Ling's power and ultimately forced to submit to him.
Given Ye Ling's status, he had no need to deceive them with lies.
In other words, no matter how incredible Ye Ling's words were, as long as they came from his mouth, they must be true!
Simply bestowing power that could slay a Saint... Mutou Masao could not fathom the true extent of Ye Ling's strength.
Was it beyond Saints?
Mutou Masao dared not even consider it.
At this moment, Mutou Masao felt as if he could not breathe just standing in the room. The pressure was immense.
To him, Ye Ling was like a mountain soaring into the clouds, its limits impossible to behold.
However, Ye Ling himself did not consider his actions to be particularly astonishing. The power he gave to the aggregate of resentment was merely a fraction of his own spiritual energy.
That power did not even constitute a consumption for Ye Ling.
After bestowing a portion of his power upon the long-haired youth, Ye Ling then said, "The power you now wield is already an extremely unstable factor in modern society. Any slight misstep could bring about a massive impact on human society. Therefore, you must remain by my side until this matter is concluded. Do you understand?"
The long-haired youth respectfully replied, "I understand. I will absolutely not cause you any trouble, my lord."
Receiving the long-haired youth's affirmation, Ye Ling nodded and then asked, "Do you have a name?"
The long-haired youth shook his head, "I am merely a consciousness born from the resentment of countless souls. Although I possess self-awareness, I do not have a name."
Ye Ling said, "You will be accompanying me for some time. It is inconvenient without a name. How about I bestow one upon you?"
The long-haired youth respectfully replied, "Please, my lord, bestow a name upon me. I am eternally grateful."
Ye Ling gazed deeply at the long-haired youth and said, "Since you were born from resentment and live to slay gods, how about I call you Twilight?"
"Ragnarok... I like this name. Thank you, my lord, for bestowing it upon me." The long-haired youth murmured the name and then bowed respectfully to Ye Ling once more.
After giving the aggregate of resentment a designation, Ye Ling then used his spiritual energy to cleanse the entire building, completely isolating the demi-spirit realm from the human realm.
After all, this place had been contaminated by resentment. No matter what, residual evil spirits would remain in the demi-spirit realm, and who knew what monsters might be born in the future.
If the demi-spirit realm were allowed to remain here, and someone accidentally stumbled into this place in the future, it might become another terrifying story.
Having dealt with everything here, Ye Ling then led Mutou Masao and Twilight away from the building and returned to the Dragon Division base.
While Ye Ling was dealing with Twilight's affairs, Wang Liren and Qi Zhuyue had also led the members of the Dragon Division base onto military aircraft and were orderly withdrawing to China.
The evacuation of the base members was coordinated by the official organizations of the Dragon Division and the Arame Division. The entire process proceeded smoothly, with both countries providing a clear path. It did not take long for all members to be evacuated.
When Ye Ling returned to the base, the vast base was already deserted. Only a few scattered Arame Division members were patrolling the outer perimeter of the base, monitoring the Dragon Division base's situation.
Mutou Masao glanced at the empty Dragon Division base and asked Ye Ling with some confusion, "Emperor, why are we returning here?"
There was no one in the base now, and most of the facilities had been thoroughly destroyed by Ghost Hand Jack. Mutou Masao could not imagine what value this place held.
Ye Ling asked Mutou Masao, "Why do you think Izanagi chose this place as the location for the ritual?"
Suddenly asked by Ye Ling, Mutou Masao was taken aback for a moment before shaking his head, "I... I don't know..."
Ye Ling replied, "It is precisely because we don't know that we must come here to investigate."
"Izanagi specifically ordered the four of you to target the Dragon Division base, and even had Ghost Hand Jack slaughter everyone in the entire base. His choice of this place for the ritual was definitely not a spur-of-the-moment decision."
Upon hearing Ye Ling's words, Twilight immediately said, "My lord, when I killed those three Takamagahara members, the three of them happened to be gathered together discussing how to deal with China."
"I might know what they were planning."
