437. Split Soul Persona [Available for Free on Patreon!]

Chapter 437: Split Soul Persona [Available for Free on Patreon!]

The Fiends stared at Zeix, whose manner of speaking made him seem like a completely different person.

Lying in his own blood with all four limbs gone, ‘Zeix’ looked at them and spoke in a calm voice, completely devoid of the earlier pain and weariness from the torture.

“Unlike Zeix, I can tell you everything you want to know about the Holy Son of Fate.”

Krag'Thul narrowed his eyes at the sudden change. The way Zeix referred to himself as someone else made his suspicion rise even further. He grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up.

“If you're not Zeix, then what exactly are you?”

Even face-to-face with a Fiend, he showed no trace of fear.

“You must have heard of a Split Soul Persona. I am the dormant one.”

Krag'Thul's expression didn't change. He knew about Split Soul Personas. They were rare, but not unheard of. Some were born with that condition and housed multiple personalities within a single body.

Even so, he didn't believe it immediately. Something was clearly protecting Zeix's soul, and without breaching it himself, he had no way of confirming whether this was truly a Split Soul or something else entirely.

For all he knew, this could be the Holy Son of Fate directly controlling Zeix's body from behind the scenes.

While Krag'Thul remained suspicious of everything ‘Zeix’ said, Jay already knew exactly who had taken control of Zeix's body.

It was Urzo.

The moment the Origin Sigil detected an anomaly within Zeix's soul, it reacted of its own accord. Chains of Origin Energy instantly wrapped around Zeix's soul, ready to obliterate the intruding presence.

But Jay had intervened and stopped it. Through the Sigil, he could tell that the two souls were entangled so deeply that they were almost indistinguishable from a single soul.

If the chains destroyed Urzo's soul, Zeix's soul would be destroyed as well.

Even now, Jay could barely pull himself out of the shock of learning what Urzo had done.

After learning that Urzo had put some kind of hidden plan in motion and then erased the memory of it from his own mind, Jay had personally combed through the souls of all his faction members in search of any trace of Urzo's possession seeds but found nothing despite searching for so long.

If he had uncovered what Urzo had planned, he wouldn’t have settled for imprisoning him inside a Void Crypt and would have killed him outright instead.

Now, through the Origin Sigil, Jay could finally see through Urzo's soul and understand what that hidden plan had been.

What Urzo had prepared wasn't some elaborate and hideous scheme like Jay had feared, but rather a contingency in case of his own death.

The one currently occupying Zeix's body was only a portion of Urzo's soul. At some point, Urzo had torn off a part of his own soul and implanted it into Zeix's soul without Zeix ever realizing it.

Stolen story; please report.

He had hidden it so deeply that it couldn't be detected without damaging Zeix's soul itself.

The price of that concealment, however, was that Urzo's soul couldn't take over whenever it wanted. It could only resurface if Zeix was pushed to the brink of death.

Had Zeix gone on to live out his life and eventually die of old age, the Soul fragment would have remained buried forever and died alongside him without ever resurfacing.

But Zeix's current condition had created the perfect opportunity for Urzo to take over.

Hey Folks, sorry for the inconvenience. I wanted to give a small update regarding Volume 4 and future chapter releases.

To be honest, because of piracy concerns, I seriously considered not releasing the remaining chapters of Volume 4 publicly anymore. But at the same time, I don’t want the current readers who have been supporting and following the story consistently to miss out either.

So from Chapter 401 onwards, I’ll continue doing weekly releases here, but only around the first one-fourth of each chapter will be posted publicly.

To read the full chapter, you can simply join my Patreon’s free tier. The complete chapters will be available there, and it doesn’t cost anything to access them.

You can give it a try if you’d like. And honestly, more people joining the Patreon, even through the free tier, would really encourage and support me to keep going consistently.

Thank you for all the support so far. I truly appreciate everyone who’s been reading the journey until now.
