Chapter 1428: The Power of Death's Aura, Morgana's Fall and the Doctrine of Freedom

The ability to harvest souls is not limited to humans. Any life with a soul can be harvested. In other words, the souls of livestock raised by humans, such as chickens, ducks, and fish, can also become nourishment for the [Death Halo].

The chat group themselves did not mention any words related to humans in their introduction to [Death Halo], but instead used the word life. Why are they focusing all their attention on humans?
Kasumi Shiko: "The reason why Daiko thought of monsters is because he has to face them every day, so when he thinks of the soul harvesting ability, he also thinks of the souls of monsters."

Kasumi Shiko: "The reason why we think of people first is probably because it's Conan who got this ability, and the deaths around him..."

Everyone couldn't help but fall silent. By the way, have any animals other than humans ever died around Conan?
Of course there is, but it doesn't seem to appear in the plot.

Conan himself didn't know what to say, because even he himself hadn't thought about the souls of life other than humans.

Is this reasonable?

Could it be that in his heart, he has really accepted the fact that he is the elementary school student of the God of Death!
The Richest Man in the Lighthouse: "After solving the problem of the soul, Conan seems to have no worries about using this ability anymore."

The Richest Man in the Lighthouse: "The only problem is that we need to purchase a large number of livestock, but this is not a problem for Conan."

Not to mention that Conan's parents were not short of money. After joining the chat group, real wealth was something that was within his reach.

He could simply buy a slaughterhouse, harvest the souls, and then continue to sell the slaughtered animals' bodies. It doesn't matter even if he suffers a loss. After all, his goal is the souls of those animals, not how much profit the slaughterhouse brings to him.

The richest man in the lighthouse: "You can't possibly say that you have to respect even the souls of livestock."

It doesn't make sense. Unless Conan is a pure vegetarian and hates meat eaters, it is impossible for you to disrespect life while alive and respect the soul after death.

Death Elementary School Student: "That's not the case."

Although he is not an absolute human supremacist, he does not advocate equality of life. As a detective, he understands the inequality between people better than the average person.

This is true even between humans, let alone between humans and livestock.

If he was to use the souls of livestock as nourishment for his growth, he naturally had no reason to refuse.

Ordinary group leader: "But if that happens, I feel like Conan's strength will skyrocket in a short period of time."

Ordinary group leader: "Even if the quality of human souls is much higher than that of ordinary livestock, as long as there are enough of them, they can be comparable or even surpassed."

Ordinary group owner: "It is not difficult for a large slaughterhouse to kill thousands or even tens of thousands of livestock every day. If it is fish, it will be even more."

Ordinary group leader: "Even among humans in war, there are rarely such a large number of deaths."

Ordinary group leader: "So even if Conan's world is an everyday world, Conan will collect souls very quickly, and his own strength will be improved to an extremely high level in a short period of time."

Ordinary group leader: "Hiss~, why does this [Death Aura] seem so powerful the more I talk about it?"

Ordinary group owner: "Is this really the reward for completing 1% of the tasks?"

The more Su Yunqing looked at it, the more he felt the power of [Death Halo]. If the original Conan world was just an everyday world with very few extraordinary abilities and a limited upper limit, then now relying on the ability of [Death Halo], Conan can completely surpass the upper limit and even be comparable to those in the truly extraordinary world.

Draw power from souls to strengthen oneself. There are no side effects, no upper limit, and it is not restricted to any species.

Conan may still need a slaughterhouse now to absorb souls. When his [Death Halo] gradually grows and the scope of its influence begins to expand, he may not need any slaughterhouse at that time, but passively absorb the souls of all dead lives in the entire island country and even the world.

Of course, based on Conan's character, he would definitely exclude humans. However, although the number of humans is huge, it is undoubtedly a very small number compared to the number of all species on the earth.

Take chickens for example. A province or city in China may consume hundreds of millions of chickens a year. If this spreads to the whole world, hundreds of millions of chickens may be consumed in just one day, not to mention other species that die of natural age or accidents.

This is just Earth. If one day Conan's Death Realm can spread to the entire galaxy, the number of souls he can absorb every day will be even greater.

The most important thing is that there is no upper limit, which means that Conan's strength will never have a so-called bottleneck. As long as the number of souls he absorbs is enough, he will be able to continue to improve. If he really reaches a bottleneck, it must be because the number of souls he has extracted is not enough.

Honestly speaking, even Su Yunqing felt that such ability was a bit exaggerated. If Conan's tasks accounted for a higher proportion, she could still accept it, but Conan's tasks only accounted for 1%.

Although Kasumigaoka Utaha's optical computer containing all the technological information of the second-level civilization is also extremely precious, it feels much worse than Conan's [Death Halo].

Death God Elementary School Student: "Although there is no upper limit to the growth of the [Death God Aura], just like there will be a bottleneck after practicing to a certain level, I think that when I raise the [Death God Aura] to a certain level, the number of souls required will definitely be an extremely exaggerated number."

Death God Elementary School Student: "Although there are extraordinary beings in my world, they are extremely rare. There is only one known true extraordinary being, a witch. So even if there are beings with special souls, they must be very rare. This should be true not only on Earth but also outside of Earth."

Death Elementary School Student: "When quality cannot meet the requirements, it will turn into a demand for quantity."

Death God Elementary School Student: "This is indeed a very powerful ability, but in my case, it actually slows down its development speed."

Conan did not deny the power of the [Halo of Death]. To be honest, after seeing Su Yunqing's idea, he could also feel how much the [Halo of Death] would enhance his future strength.

It can be said that even if there are few ways to gain points in his world, he can still rely on the [Death Halo] to quickly improve his strength and even reach the upper-middle level of the chat group.

However, although there is no upper limit to the growth of [Death Halo], after reaching a certain level, the demand for souls will definitely increase exponentially. Even on Earth, there are countless lives besides humans, and there are countless souls for it to absorb, but in terms of soul strength, the souls of these species are unlikely to be stronger than humans, and in terms of soul strength, it is impossible to compare with the extraordinary people in other worlds.

The gap in this aspect needs to be made up by quantity, so even if there is no upper limit to the growth of [Death Halo], he will encounter bottleneck-like obstacles.

The Oldest God Slayer: "Even so, it is powerful enough."

The oldest godslayer: "What a pity..."

Marquis Vauban shook his head, with a look of regret in his eyes. If he were to gain this ability, he would not let go of any souls of species other than humans on Earth, or the souls of humans he killed because they were his enemies.

But these are not the most important things. The most important thing is the souls of those disobedient gods.

Even though what descended were not their real bodies, as long as the strength of the [Death Halo] was high enough, what did it matter even if they were not their real bodies?
Their spiritual power can also be plundered by him and turned into nourishment for his growth.

However, in that case, even if these disobedient gods do not die, they can still be revived through faith, but it is estimated that they will need to recuperate for a long time.

In the past, he might have cared about this, thinking that the disobedient gods should not be exploited and sustainable development was the most important thing. But now, these disobedient gods dared not come to the world because they were afraid of his existence, so he could not find a disobedient god for several months.

At this point he no longer cared about these things. What he cared about was how to squeeze out as much value as possible from the God of Disobedience.

Demon Queen: "Tsk, what a pity."

Demon Queen: "If I had this power, I could harvest the souls of more than one planet in one day."

It's a pity for Morgana, because this ability is quite suitable for her. Although she, as the demon queen, advocates freedom and depravity, reaping the souls of the dead has no psychological burden for her.

Moreover, compared to Conan who is still on Earth, she has a vast universe under her command. Although it is only the known universe, her starting point is much higher than Conan.

Let’s put it this way, if she was the one who obtained the [Halo of Death], and got it in the morning, she would have harvested the souls of a planet in the afternoon.

Holy Guard Left Wing: "Then it's lucky for your world that you didn't gain this ability."

Holy Guardian Left Wing: "The executors of justice are in pain, and the enjoyers are happy. However, it is precisely because of your existence that we firmly believe in the correctness of the justice order."

Each main god has an order to implement his own will. Angels advocate justice, demons pursue freedom and depravity, and the scorching sun pursues peace and prosperity for the country and the people.

The freedom and depravity pursued by the demonic civilization are not wrong from the perspective of God, civilization, or the universe. The law of the jungle prevails and the fittest survive. This rule applies to any civilization, including human civilization on Earth.

In the presence of God, with the long time, the power of genes, and the freedom to enjoy and pursue, they are naturally unwilling to abide by the rules that bind them.

Rather than saying that demons stand against angels, it is better to say that angels stand against all powerful civilizations in the universe.

Because the just order of angel civilization is not in their interests.

When civilizations are weak, a just order is beneficial to them, protecting them and allowing them to continue to develop in a peaceful environment.

But when civilization becomes powerful, the just order becomes an obstacle to their development. Because of the just order, they cannot plunder civilizations that are weaker than them, and can only watch those civilizations develop and become stronger without being able to do anything.

But do they care about this? Any angel under Queen Kesha is willing to sacrifice their lives for justice and order.

That's right, the law of the jungle is the law of the universe. From the perspective of the universe, life, time, morality, and order are dim. They have experienced this, so they are willing to help those civilizations that were once the same as theirs.

Perhaps the order of justice will no longer be suitable for this universe in the future. Queen Kesha has always asked Yan to think about what kind of order she wants to lead the angels in the future, but from beginning to end, she has never doubted the correctness of the order of justice.

That is what they are willing to protect throughout their lives.

If it were not for the existence of just order, the known universe would be ten, a hundred, a thousand times or even more chaotic than it is now.

As she said, the executor of justice is miserable, while the enjoyer is happy.

Those who pursue freedom and depravity and regard everything as nothing will only appear special and happy when others abide by the order.

Ordinary group leader: "Speaking of which, what exactly is Morgana's fall and freedom? Is it simply doing whatever she wants?"

Ordinary group leader: "But if it is just doing whatever you want, wouldn't it be better to just advocate freedom? Why add a depravity? Is it because you call yourself a devil?"

Su Yunqing actually never quite understood Morgana's ideas, because there was originally an old version of Super Seminary, and there were some differences between the old and new versions in many aspects of the characters.

The ideas of teachers who graduated from the Super Seminary are easy to understand. Queen Kesha despises the ultimate fear. Angels are supreme but they also uphold the dignity of other lives.

Carl succumbed to the ultimate fear and conducted research in secret, because researching the void was not allowed by Kai'Sa, at least not in the open.

Liang Bing and the principal want to confront the ultimate fear head-on, but if they want to become stronger, they have to modify their genes and destroy life that is not naturally upgraded, which is the so-called becoming a demon.

However, in the older settings, Morgana was not as strong as she is now. She was similar to Carl and was very afraid of the ultimate fear. This made the conflict with Kai'Sa more clear.

It’s just that his research level is not as good as Carl’s, so he can only go with the flow.

But later, it seemed that due to the high popularity of Black Armor, the overall setting was changed drastically, leading to the current unclear free fall.

After Su Yunqing uploaded Morgana's past and present attitudes towards the fear of the void, Angel Yan couldn't help but laugh.

Holy Guardian Left Wing: "Morgana wants to fight the Ultimate Terror?"

Holy Guardian Zuo Yi: "You overestimate her. From the beginning to the end, her attitude towards the ultimate fear is to escape."

Holy Guard Left Wing: "Morgana's doctrine of corruption and freedom, in simple terms, means that you don't have to obey anyone except me, Morgana."
