<h4>Volume 5 Chapter 71: Freedom is a hoax</h4>


    Green was essentially an advanced servant created through a part of Negary’s soul. He might not beparable to Killer J or Noah who each represented an aspect of Negary, but he still had his own personality while also inheriting the past Green’s consciousness.


    Both Sarmyte’s talents and capabilities could be considered top-notch, being able to rely on a bit of leaked Source Energy to eventually reach the third stage of release in a few decades. Even if he couldn’t advance any further, he was still quite impressive.


    If the circumstances were different, Sarmyte might have had a chance to achieve even more, but right now, he was too far away from anything considerable.


    〖 Within the records of the Sun Shadow church, you were only said to be capable of affecting the eyesight of others, but your abilities shouldn’t only be to affect eyesight, but rather to disturb the majority of means of perception 〗Green’s sword thrust straight towards Sarmyte. Sarmyte didn’t exist at all within his sight, but that didn’t disturb him in the slightest.


    Sarmyte nimbly avoided Green’s attack. Having survived for so long in the vicinity of the Unrepenting Abyss and became the leader of the Awakened Wicked Souls, his capabilities were naturally not limited to his [Origin] ability.


    Sarmyte had also practiced magic. By using his ability, he was able to make it so that certain information could not be observed, and thus resolving the issue of contradictory spell structures. A lot of magic that would usually adversely affect one another existed at the same time in his body simply because they didn’t recognize each other’s existence.


    This allowed Sarmyte to achieve a lot of contradictory feats.


    〖 It isn’t as if these informations don’t exist, they are simply being disturbed by your ability. And our normal systems of perception cannot discern information that you’ve disturbed 〗Green narrated: 〖 For example, normally when someone steps on the ground, no matter how lightly they tread, the ground would still react ordingly 〗


    〖 But you’ve applied your ability on the reaction of the ground and obscured this information, making it inessible and unperceivable. On the other hand, as long as I understand the essence of your ability, I can easily dispel your disturbance and perceive the information you’ve obscured 〗Green dered with absolute confidence.


    In reality, Green hadn’t inherited any of Negary’s ability, so it wasn’t as easy as he imed to formte a model for an ability at the 3rd stage of release. The reason why he was able to perceive Sarmyte was relying on a trick of Killer J’s ability to sense hostility.


    Since Killer J had obtained the Seed of Truth, all of his abilities surpassed the limit of Sarmyte’s obscurity, which allowed him to urately determine where every bit of hostility he felt originated from. He could even analyze the information contained within the hostility to give various hints to Green.


    Of course, Green would naturally not reveal this little secret, instead, he made up a story of seeing through Sarmyte’s ability to mess with his thoughts.


    Hearing Green’s words, Sarmyte’s expression was terrible. He refused to believe that his ability obtained through risking his life numerous times would be so easily resolved by someone else.


    The essence of Sarmyte’s ability was the capability of interfering with the information of other objects to make them unperceivable. If used well, this ability would be terrifying, but if used incorrectly, one would only be able to use it to hide or something simr.


    Sarmyte could be considered smart as he had used his ability to resolve the issue of contradicting spells, but that was also the extent of his capabilities.


    If Negary had this ability, he would be capable of so much more. At the macro level, he would be to affect the world’s Information Sea, regting and controlling the exchange of information in the world.


    The so-called changes in the world were mostly the derivative product of the world’s parts exchanging information among themselves, one could affect many, and many could cause the entire world to change, this was the so-called butterfly effect. One could have a perfect grasp over the future by having a perfect grasp on the exchange of information.


    In the past, Negary had always manipted the future through mixing either Impurity of Error into the world’s Information Sea; or personally entering the information flow to cause a quantitative change that affected the future. But with Sarmyte’s ability, his regtion and control of the future would be so much easier.


    At the micro level, he would be able to resolve the conflict of Impurity and Error. This ability was essentially an information regtor, capable of obscuring unnecessary information so that they wouldn’t interact. In the same manner, over 3000 of Negary’s current experiments would instantly bepletely resolved, as well as further develop into more types of research.


    And so, as soon as Green recognized Sarmyte, his future had already been set in stone. Or rather, he hadn’t got a future ever since a while ago, a result of Negary’s regtion of the future after discovering Sarmyte’s ability.


    He made it so that a certain upper brass of the Half Life church would ‘identally’ contact Sarmyte, then ‘coincidentally’ reach an agreement. Numerous factors within their lives thus far had stimted their actions and decisions, the other Awakened Wicked Souls might be able to survive, but Sarmyte’s future had already been determined.


    Within the curved aspect of reality, numerous golden beads were spreading, regting, controlling the world’s information flow. Any tiny disturbance would result in a change in the future, the change in information flow also represented the change in how matter would flow through Space-Time.


    The information flow of other people was continuously changing to represent countless possibilities, but Sarmyte’s future was growing increasingly narrower as any information that would interact with him had been tightly regted by the golden beads.


    At this point, Negary could already read the research report on Sarmyte’s ability, because the only future left for him was to end up on Negary’s experimentation table.


    When both of a person’s past and future had fallen into another’s grasp, they had already belonged to them. Sarmyte and Green’s current battle was nothing but a formality now.


    Just as Kunier had said, their souls had never been free. In Negary’s hands, their so-called freedom was nothing but a hoax.


    If they were able to escape this hoax, then their talents would be recognized by Negary, thus qualifying them to be Negary’s nutrients.


    〖 Chromie has exerted himself again, huh 〗Negarymented with some emotions.


    Among the 300 million future possibilities that Negary had observed, there was a less than 1% chance of Chromie breaking through his limit and killing the 100-headed beast that Kunier had turned into; in a majority of these futures, Chromie ended up using the world coordinates he had to ask Killer J for help. In another portion of these possibilities, he would fail, causing Eternal Heat to act. The sun’s radiation would abruptly grow dozens of times harsher and instantly kill the majority of the Moon Tree world’s people.


    Their souls would all drift towards the Unrepenting Abyss, forming into numerous rivers of glittering souls. It would have been a magnificently dreadful sight, but fortunately, that future would no longere to pass.


    Despite everything, Negary loved living beings. Thetent potential of living beings had surprised him time and time again, and such mass murder would only waste the majority of those living beings’ potentials. If it was up to Negary, he would gradually cause the environment to grow harsher, forcing them to have to exert theirtent potential and not waste their lives away.


    In the middle of the battle, Chromie chose to risk his life. By volunteering to be absorbed by the 100-headed beast, he entered its body. Relying on the unique life structure of a half-elf, he wasn’t assimted right away and instead fully triggered histent potentials while reaching Kunier’s soul within the beast.


    “I’vee to grant you freedom! My good friend!”


    Chromie’s sword severed Kunier’s soul shackles to disconnect his soul from this world, his [Origin] followed its unique connection to enter space, while Kunier’s soul waspletely destroyed by Chromie’s Fearful Spirit and didn’t enter the Decanter of God’s Offering or the Unrepenting Abyss.


    In space, as Negary looked at the distance, he saw Mequik reaching out with her tentacles to surround the flying [Origin] and enveloped it with vitality mana, quickly creating another fetus that would grow to be the perfect soldier.


    Negary then saw Chromie standing up from the body of the copsed 100-headed beast with a satisfied look on his face, as if he had just fulfilled some sort of wish.


    Negary couldn’t help but shake his head.


    〖 Freedom, has always been nothing but a hoax 〗
