Chapter 2250: Chapter 2243: What If I Could Become Light?

“Consultant, what… what is that sound?”

The ghostly sound echoed, sending shivers down the spines of the special operations team, who immediately huddled behind Zhang Menglong.

“It’s the Evil God I told you about,” Zhang Menglong said with a smile. “Actually, it’s about time I tell you, after my investigation, this slab contains a Soul Shard of that Evil God. These Quantum Ghosts exist to devour large amounts of Soul Power and help the Evil God regain its strength!”

“What? So that’s the Evil God?”

“Using the souls of so many warriors from our Moruo Holy Nation to resurrect, it’s utterly unforgivable!”

“Consultant, should we send him a Quantum Impact Nuke, see if he stays arrogant?”

“It won’t do much to him,” Zhang Menglong replied, “this guy is just a soul now, but he was at least at the Peak of a Dominator in life, possibly even beyond it!”

“What? Beyond a Dominator?” Everyone was shocked; they had never heard of anyone reaching the Peak of a Dominator, let alone surpassing it.

For countless generations, it was concluded that the limit of a Dominator was the ultimate point of human evolution, and it couldn’t be surpassed.

Now the appearance of this Evil God undoubtedly overturned their understanding.

“He’s not human,” Zhang Menglong chuckled. The Ancient Humans were the first batch created by the Ancient God, and they naturally differ greatly from the concept of humans today. You see, New Humans forsook power during creation, retaining more emotions, while these Ancient Humans kept a large portion of their powers.

“Then how do we defeat it?” Dapura and others asked timidly. Could they handle something that surpassed a Dominator?

“I don’t know, let’s see!” Zhang Menglong had never faced an Ancient Human’s Soul Shard head-on. He only knew that last time, the Ancient God and the Ancient Human’s two souls nearly turned the world upside down. If the Ancient God hadn’t protected him, the fight’s aftermath alone could have devoured his soul.

His soul is now incredibly strong, and facing this Ancient Human Soul Shard, he might not be powerless; after all, he still has Gou Dan, who has countless ways to deal with souls.

“Human, do you know the price I paid to create these Soul Puppets?” The Ancient Human’s voice was filled with anger.

“I don’t care what price you paid. I’ve already taken them down. If you’re not satisfied, come at me!”

“Our consultant is truly bold even in front of such a creature.”

“Will he be killed?”

“Consultant? He’s like a god; even if the Evil God surpassed Dominator in life, he’s probably not very powerful now.”

“Exactly, we should trust the consultant!”

“You all stay back!” Zhang Menglong instructed, “Once the fight starts, I might not be able to protect you!”

After saying this, Zhang Menglong realized nobody responded. He turned around and saw that the special ops team had already hidden miles away.

“A bunch of disloyal guys,” Zhang Menglong muttered, scratching his head.

The slab vibrated with a hum, and Zhang Menglong could clearly feel a massive Soul Power awakening.

This Soul Power was as immense as a mountain. Even though this Soul Shard had slumbered for billions of years, the remaining power was still beyond ordinary New Humans’ comprehension.

“It’s much weaker than the last Soul Power,” Zhang Menglong estimated. This one was just awakening, whereas the last one under the Blood Pond had devoured many advanced Spiritual Beasts and human souls, thus recovering more power.

A golden phantom emerged from the slab, coalescing into a gigantic golden Giant of Light before Zhang Menglong.

Compared to the previous Giant of Light, which stood hundreds of thousands of meters tall, this one was only about five to six thousand meters high, clearly indicating its weakened state.

“Finally showing up? I thought you planned to hide on that slab forever. If you hadn’t come out, I was considering peeing on it just now!” Zhang Menglong knew he couldn’t lose his aura first.

“Are humans of this era all so fearless?” The Ancient Human’s Soul Shard showed little emotional fluctuation, viewing Zhang Menglong’s challenge as merely an ant’s provocation. Would a male lion care about an ant’s taunt?

Clearly, it wouldn’t, it would just stomp the ant to death!

The Ancient Human’s soul had no desire to communicate with Zhang Menglong. From the information brought back by the Quantum Ghosts, he knew this young man had found a way to deal with them.

If he killed him, the Quantum Ghosts could continue their revival plans in the Moruo Holy Nation and easily expand their control to surrounding countries.

At the normal pace, in 2000 years at most, he would regain his Peak power!

In an instant, a massive Soul Power pressed down on Zhang Menglong. Even a Realm Breaker Peak expert would instantly perish under such pressure.

But Zhang Menglong’s Soul had long since transformed. Although his Attack Power was far less than this Soul Shard, his Soul’s strength matched that of an Ancient Human!

His soul now resembled a Divine Iron—unrefined into a sharp weapon, but impossible for ordinary forces to destroy!

At this moment, Zhang Menglong was like a small ship braving the waves in the ocean, bearing immense pressure, yet holding his head high.

“Huh?” The Ancient Human’s soul voiced a puzzled tone.

In his eyes, this Soul Power should have crushed Zhang Menglong’s soul instantly, yet he withstood it!

“Wait, why does your soul have the scent of another Ancient Human? Has your body become someone’s vessel?”

“No! It’s just a familiar scent, without any soul remnants… you’ve refined an Ancient Human’s Soul Power!”

This was an absolutely transformative revelation for it!

Such a weak New Human had refined an Ancient Human’s soul!

“No, not just an Ancient Human soul, you have also… inherited the power of an Ancient God!”

This time, its tone shifted from astonishment to fear.

The Ancient Humans never feared anything, except the Ancient God who created them!

“Oh, you’ve found out!” Zhang Menglong slowly raised his head. “I can sense your fear. You’re afraid of me, aren’t you?”

“Afraid? Me, afraid of a mere human?” The Giant of Light roared with hysteria. “You’re just a New Human who got lucky with some opportunities. Even if you have the Ancient God’s legacy, what of it? You can’t currently utilize it. You’re not fully grown. How dare you challenge me?”

“Oh, really?” Zhang Menglong chuckled. “Indeed, my current power isn’t enough. But what if I told you I could become light?”
