Apocalypse Gachapon - Chapter 1829: Soul Gatherer

At a certain location, Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins suddenly stopped.

“Kuma is dead.”

“Ye Zhongming!”

The two spoke almost simultaneously, then rapidly ran in one direction.

They wanted to see if their guess was correct and simultaneously notified the others to converge on them.

Guessing this wasn’t very difficult; they were constantly monitoring Ye Zhongming’s points and were also fully aware of their teammate’s points. When Kuma died, Ye Zhongming’s points increased, and the amount added was exactly one-third of Kuma’s. Even a fool would know what had happened.

Both Hawkins and Aimusi felt that with their strength, they should be able to reach the place where Kuma was killed very quickly and then track Ye Zhongming.

This might be a way to kill the Cloud Peak King today.

At the same time, Ye Zhongming’s name should appear on the novice kill leaderboard shortly, as he had already killed three lives.

He was red-named now.

Also, today was the second day of Naka’s curse; Ye Zhongming should have lost another of his five senses. As long as they found him, killing him would be easier.

They quickly rushed to the scene. Indeed, the distance between them and Kuma wasn’t very far; they just needed to go straight ahead.

Then they saw Kuma’s head on the internal heat stone. By now, after about a few minutes of roasting, the head had carbonized considerably. The headless body leaned against another internal heat stone. Although nothing was visible from the front, the sizzling sound told them this was a level-nine expert who had lost his life—otherwise, even a hundred internal heat stones piled together couldn’t harm Kuma in the slightest.

Hawkins looked around, briefly examining the traces in various places, and quickly simulated the general situation at the time.

“Kuma didn’t die unjustly; he was completely outmaneuvered. From psychology to strength.”

Hawkins pulled up his wife, who was squatting in front of Kuma’s body. He felt a bit regretful; although Kuma’s strength was the lowest in the squad, his tracking ability was irreplaceable. His death would cause great inconvenience for implementing a series of plans in the future.

“Today, the sense Ye Zhongming lost is still not sight.”

Aimusi had just been examining Kuma’s wounds to determine what Ye Zhongming had lost from this curse.

From the neat cut on Kuma’s neck and the fatal wound, it could be seen that if Ye Zhongming had lost his sight, it would be impossible to achieve such precise kills.

Hawkins nodded, then suddenly wondered, “Why haven’t Wade and the others arrived yet?”

Even if they hadn’t come at full speed after receiving the notification, they should have arrived by now after such a long time.

“Damn it!”

This time, the couple’s faces truly changed dramatically.

They turned around rapidly, glancing at the red dot representing Ye Zhongming’s location while rushing back the way they came.

…………………………………………

The Netherrealm Star Domain native actually really liked others calling him “Hun” (soul). Because on his planet, this word represented purity and uniqueness.

They were special energy entities; the purer the energy, the stronger their power.

After reaching the top level, this yearning for “purity” became increasingly important.

It could allow them to make up for many weaknesses of their race.

Because Netherrealm Star Domain natives were energy entities, they possessed many powerful abilities, such as controlling various elements—not only for attack but also freely for assistance—and could multiply the power of elemental and energy-based skills.

However, they also had weaknesses, including a lack of advantage in movement speed, the inability to use normal weapons (only those with soul power), and a fatal weakness: very poor resistance to mental attacks.

Only when the energy composing their bodies and lives was extremely pure would these weaknesses become less obvious. Even when purified to the extreme and becoming physical, they would have no more weaknesses.

His ideal was to purify to the extreme!

Just now, after receiving the message from the Hawkins couple, the Netherrealm Star Domain native also sped up, though not too quickly. Going too fast might mean encountering that Cloud Peak King from Earth, like Hawkins and the others. That guy could use mental attacks, which were very fatal for him now. Better let them deal with that guy; he would just coast along.

So he moved unhurriedly in one direction.

But halfway there, he suddenly felt a sense of foreboding. Slowing down a bit, he suddenly looked up and saw a person holding a spherical object descending from the sky!

The speed was fast, and the timing was sudden, but for the Netherrealm Star Domain native, he had ample time to avoid it.

Even in this time, he accurately guessed how this person managed to descend from the sky.

It was the spherical life form in his arms that launched from afar, drawing a parabolic arc to bring him over.

Wait… The Netherrealm Star Domain native suddenly swayed.

This spherical life form seemed to be the one Ye Zhongming had summoned from the black energy gate earlier.

He didn’t care about anything else, instantly creating a layer of lightning net around his body. Then, while fleeing, he prepared to launch a lightning attack towards where Ye Zhongming was landing.

Lightning element was his most proficient, most powerful, and fastest ability.

But before these lightning bolts could fully leave his body, a black shadow suddenly appeared beside him and exploded.

The violent mental impact made him scream, his body out of control. Both the lightning attack and the lightning protection net lost their effect and disappeared at this moment.

Then, Ye Zhongming reached his side and slapped a hand on his body.

To be honest, Ye Zhongming wasn’t entirely sure whether killing him required continuous mental impact or if it was the same as normal—slashing with blades or stabbing with swords. He needed to test it.

Fists and feet first, then weapons. If that didn’t work, he would directly use a large dose of mental impact. Anyway, such an experiment would only take a moment.

But as soon as his palm smacked this person’s body, both Ye Zhongming and the target froze and fell from the sky.

Even though Ye Zhongming’s left arm had recovered a bit, it was only limited to slight movement; the wounds from Wade’s stabs hadn’t healed at all. When killing Kuma earlier, fortunately, he only needed his left hand to pull an ankle before the fight ended slightly. If that strike hadn’t succeeded, Ye Zhongming would have definitely given up. He could overcome hearing difficulties, but one arm being somewhat inflexible really affected combat power.

But when his right fist hit the Netherrealm Star Domain native’s body, Ye Zhongming felt a chaotic energy surging into his body.

He started to feel terrified, thinking it was over, but then discovered that, in fact, his body was absorbing this energy, not that the energy was actively surging in.

“You are a Blue Soul Gatherer! Impossible, your kind has perished!”

Amid such terrified screams, the Netherrealm Star Domain native and Ye Zhongming fell to the ground together. Then, his body visibly shriveled.
