Chapter 997 - - 646 Precision Strike on Duge_2

—————✧✧✧✧—————

Once Duge mastered the ability to break through cosmic barriers, that universe, including its derived parallel universes, would all belong to Duge alone.

After all this effort, it turned out they were just preparing a bride for Duge, and no one was willing to accept that.

Finding another Main Universe with associated parallel universes would take an unknown amount of time!

The key issue was that the executives at Pan-Universe Entertainment really coveted the body Duge had with twenty-one skills; even without mastering all the keywords, Duge’s current abilities were enough for their use.

If it weren’t for some concerns, the Regent really wanted to personally enter the fray to wrest control of that body from Duge.

That had been his initial plan.

But later, as Duge became more and more mysterious, he didn’t dare to easily try possessing Duge…

Instead, use someone else to possess Duge and forcefully eliminate his main soul.

Without any mishaps, he would then take over Duge’s body, bringing along the executives of Pan-Universe Entertainment, and use the technology of that universe to rebuild a survival base.

Then, by deploying souls, they could move all their people and complete a true mass migration.

It would be even better if they could thoroughly study the secrets of Duge’s Soul Fragment, use the parallel universes of the Main Universe, and create a perfect body with more keywords and skills.

…

Ultimately,

The person Pan-Universe Entertainment chose for possessing Duge was called Locke.

He was the Regent’s Guard Captain, the person the Regent trusted the most, and Locke’s spiritual power reached six hundred and seventy billion.

Ten days ago, when Duge lost control, his spiritual power was shown to be over three hundred billion.

Possession was a battle of spiritual power levels.

Theoretically, six hundred and seventy billion was more than enough to overpower Duge.

But just to be safe, the Regent specifically approved an additional one hundred billion in spiritual power, boosting it to eight hundred billion.

The people of the Pan Universe had no physical form; their spiritual power determined their social status and was also their universal currency.

Spiritual power was gained through cultivation and could be transferred or granted, but the total amount of spiritual power was limited. Even the Regent couldn’t allocate more for his own use, nor was it necessary; after all, he needed a stable race to help him, rather than having absolute control.

Pan-Universe Entertainment’s live shows were meant to centralize the spiritual power of the populace for unified management and use.

The citizens and gamblers of the Pan Universe were also happy to trade to increase their spiritual power, adding some fun to their dull lives.

Initially, Pan-Universe Entertainment had a lot of stored spiritual power.

But after several encounters on the Alien Battlefield, due to various cunning maneuvers by Duge—such as compensating gamblers, placating public disgruntlement, and reallocating spiritual power to help Duge through tough times—

the company’s reserve of spiritual power decreased significantly.

Moreover, the stored spiritual power had to be ready for some emergencies. If they pursued a mass migration of races, all the stored spiritual power would be evenly distributed among the executives of Pan-Universe Entertainment.

At this moment, allocating over one hundred billion in spiritual power to Locke was already the limit.

Of course, to the Regent and others, eight hundred billion in spiritual power was already more than enough to overpower Duge.

Compared to his own power, Duge’s spiritual power wasn’t growing fast; ten days was not enough to double it.

…

In the expectant gaze of everyone,

Locke lay in the transmission capsule, targeted Duge, and underwent a precise teleportation.

The moment the transmission capsule was activated, everyone spontaneously shifted their gaze to Duge on the screen.

…

At that time,

Duge was discussing with several civilizations’ Main Gods about how to share achievements among civilizations, how to break through cosmic barriers, and how to enter the Semi-Alive Universe, among other matters.

Suddenly,

Duge’s expression changed, showing a look of pain, but it was merely a moment before his expression returned to calm.

Then, Duge opened his personal panel and looked at the data, his face showing confusion.

“Supreme God, what happened?” the King of Heavenly Gods asked.

“Just now, the people from Pan-Universe Entertainment attacked me,” Duge responded after removing his gaze from the panel, “They directly tried to possess me, but unfortunately, the soul that tried to compete with me for control of my body wasn’t as powerful as mine. At the moment it entered my soul, it was shattered by my soul.”

Duge spoke lightly, but only he knew how dangerous the moment had been.

Originally, the method of possession on the Alien Battlefield was chosen by them.

He had once possessed an indigenous person; just by invading their bodies with a soul and crushing the original soul, the possession was deemed successful.

Later, Pan-Universe Entertainment changed the method of possession, directly pushing their souls into indigenous bodies. The souls would compete, and the one with higher spiritual power would take over the body while the weaker one was eliminated.

But the process of this contest had disappeared; often, Duge would open his eyes and already have a new body, unaware of what happened in between.

This time, when the people of Pan-Universe Entertainment targeted him for possession, Duge realized how dangerous the process was for the indigenous people.

In the Immortal Martial World,

Those with high Cultivation Levels could directly see souls, and before possession took place, they could directly strike at the opponent, since souls are relatively fragile.

The possessions by Pan-Universe Entertainment were unannounced, and they forcefully delivered the opponent’s soul into the indigenous body.

The competition was all about the strength of spiritual power.
