Chapter 985: Chapter 986: The Battle of Snatching Bodies!

Today the homeroom teacher came in and said, "Please study quietly on your own," before hastily leaving the classroom.

Leaving behind a group of stunned elementary school students.

You should know that this is the first official class of the afternoon!

Bao’er blinked her eyes and then focused her attention on the textbook on her desk, quickly entering a state of study.

In this class, if one were to glance over, Bao’er would be the first person to enter their line of sight because her temperament was extremely unique; she was distinctly different from the other children in the class.

On her serene face, one could not see the characteristics typical of her age. Her demeanor seemed independent, aloof like a cold lotus on a snowy mountain, only to be admired from afar.

She projected an aura that was unapproachable and insurmountable.

Now, at the threshold of turning 12 years old, Bao’er’s height was close to 1.49 meters, and with a pair of high-soled shoes, she appeared quite tall.

Without doubt, Bao’er’s visibility had much to do with her good looks...

However, just when Bao’er was focusing intently on her book, the voice of a TV news anchor filled the classroom...

This brought everyone’s attention, including Bao’er’s, back to reality, as their eyes turned to the television that some mischievous child had turned on.

"Hahaha, look at this, I’ll be able to marry 10 wives in the future!" a boy said loudly, filled with excitement. As he spoke, his gaze unintentionally swept over Bao’er.

But Bao’er did not respond, her eyes fixed on the television screen.

Most of her classmates didn’t look at the boy either.

The public channel TV host on the screen was a young and beautiful woman, always maintaining a kind smile, even though the content of the program she was presenting signified major changes for women.

And then she announced...

"According to the current data analysis, major transformations in the social and international environment are expected to occur in the near future."

"Today, the ’Polygyny and Relatives Marriage Law Plan’ has been officially passed by Congress!"

"In light of this, ’Polygyny and Relatives Marriage Law’ will come into force after New Year’s Day!"

The country earnestly calls upon male family members to fulfill the promises made to the new laws, once they come into effect: protect women, respect women, and treat women well."

"Wow!!!!!" Upon hearing the last words of the pretty host, a wave of disbelief erupted in the class from boys and girls alike, all filled with incredulity.

Then an intense atmosphere of discussion unfolded among these elementary school students...

Bao’er, looking at the TV screen now displaying advertisements, seemed lost in thought.

...

National top-level meeting room.

"Our society is being threatened by artificial intelligence..."

"Our society is being threatened by transcendental evolvers, biologically modified humans, terrorism, extreme climate conditions..."

"It can be foreseen that within the next 20 years, our human population will decline massively, what are we to do?"

"When our civilization is at this advanced stage, when we all trust the changes brought by artificial intelligence and enjoy its convenience, when artificial intelligence has already permeated every aspect of our lives, the hidden danger emerges."

"If we assume that Red Queen is an advanced extraterrestrial technology seed planted on our planet by aliens, then it’s clear she has been activated and has started executing a program that is extremely detrimental to us humans!"

"Even if that assumption doesn’t hold, as an AI with self-awareness, it poses a significant threat to our future as humans!"

"There are also the Evolvers, the most uncontrollable special group. Mixing all these factors together, honestly, since the birth of humanity, we have never faced such a situation—it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it an unprecedented crisis."

"And in such situations, we have no experience..."

"We have nothing to reference to cope with these situations..."

"Therefore, ’Polygyny and Relatives Marriage Law’ is just the beginning of our country’s self-rescue efforts!!"

"Regardless of how society reacts, the law must be passed by force!!"

"Whether the public accepts it or not is their issue, but the law allows it!!"

"Heh, if we miss this period, we might not even be able to use the most ancient of computers..."

"Once social turbulence becomes uncontrollable, once we cannot maintain control, our nation’s population growth will be affected to some extent by the implementation of these new laws."

...

When Demon Soul conveyed its information to him, the green light below suddenly exploded upwards, ascending majestically and dazzlingly, while Demon Soul swiftly swam towards him, wagging its tadpole-like tail.

Soon, Chu You was surrounded by Devil Seeds rotating and flying around him at high speed.

And Demon Soul appeared before him.

Come out, my child...

At that moment, a stunningly beautiful blue flower appeared on Chu You’s chest, radiating an aura of icy blue luminescence.

System: Demon King Flower has been summoned by Demon Soul!

System: Demon King Flower and the Devil Seeds that make up the Demon King Flower have dislodged from your soul’s attributes!

The tadpole-like Demon Soul used its own aura to absorb the Demon King Flower in a unique way.

Demon Soul: You possess a Demon Eye and the Body of the Demon Lord, and now you have also obtained the supreme treasure, the Demon Jar; all these are signs that you are the chosen one of the Demon Sovereign.

Demon Soul: Fuse with me. I have experienced countless cycles of reincarnation, avoiding the pursuit of the Taoism Doctrine in this manner, until finally, I arrived within the Demon Jar. Now, in this lifetime, I have chosen you.

Demon Soul: With the power of the Demon Soul, you will become the master of the Demon Sovereign. When you fuse with me, you will obtain power exclusive to the Demon Sovereign: the Demon Orthodox Method!

Demon Soul: You shall command everything under the Demon Sovereign!

With the message transmitted up to that point, the Demon Soul began to emit ’threads,’ created from strands of blue smoke. These threads began to wrap around Chu You’s body.

The System also started giving prompts, raising a warning for Chu You to remain alert.

System: The Demon Soul is choosing to fuse with you, which will add a Demon Sovereign-based system. In this system, you will stand at the absolute pinnacle of the pyramid, at the core of the Demon Sovereign-based order! The birth of the Demon Emperor Origin, which has absolute summoning power over the Demon Sovereign!

System: Warning! There are unknown dangers during the fusion process. Do you wish to continue?

System: If you wish not to continue, please open the soul interface and use the Soul Returning Spell with the Demon Jar! You have 10 seconds left to decide!

Unknown dangers?! What kind of danger could there be?!

Chu You was confused; just as doubt filled his eyes, a progress bar appeared, with the Demon Soul’s threads increasingly entangling his body.

When the timer hit the 5-second mark, System prompts appeared again, clarifying the sort of unknown dangers he would face.

System: Warning! The Demon Soul’s consciousness has locked onto your soul!

System: The Demon Soul will attempt to possess your soul. Once the possession is successful, you will only have half the control over your body and you will coexist with the Demon Soul!

At this moment, Chu You’s gaze was almost vacant, seemingly unable to react.

System: You have 2 more seconds...

System: Fusion commencing...

At this moment, Chu You’s entire body was already enveloped by the blue threads, from the outside it looked like Chu You and the Demon Soul were inside a blue chrysalis.

Demon Soul: Open your heart and fuse with me, O Descendant!

It was then that Chu You finally spoke, his first words since arriving here.

"Do you know my true identity?!"

"Of course, I do know; the Descendant is the most suitable vessel. Only by merging into your soul can the Demon Sovereign truly be revived one day!"

Chu You smiled, looking at the blue light in front of him, "Indeed, but I do not like my body being controlled by someone else!"

At this moment, the progress bar conspicuously appeared at the top of his vision.

Demon Soul Fusion Success Progress: 3%... 5%...

But!! Beneath this success progress bar, there was another progress bar.

Resisting the Demon Soul! Anti-Possession Success Progress: 0%...

No sooner had he spoken than his gaze shifted to a new button in his vision, emitting radar-like light rings, a button that only players could see.

So, what exactly does this button do?!

The button is called: Anti-Possession!

Anti-Possession: Operated by intent, using it will consume your fixed Attribute values to resist the possession of the Demon Soul, with the consumed Attributes permanently vanishing, regardless of the outcome of this battle for the body.

Anti-Possession: If the Anti-Possession Success Progress bar reaches 100% first, then the possession will be thwarted, and you will completely eradicate the will of the Demon Soul, taking full possession of it!

Anti-Possession: The amount of your own Attributes consumed depends on the intensity of the Soul Attack launched by the Demon Soul!

What does the above mean?!

It means that one must consume fixed permanent Attribute values to resist the possession of the Demon Soul, and the amount consumed depends on the strength of the Demon Soul’s attack!

For example, Chu You currently has over 12 million blood volume. Without the augmentations from his guild, fortress, and the blessings of Huaxia, he would have roughly 9 million blood volume left; these are his fixed Attributes, which he must gamble against to resist the Demon Soul’s possession.

It is imaginable that during the struggle, as the blood volume significantly decreases, any equipment bonuses related to blood volume would also weaken, and his Combat Power would similarly drop, since the consumed blood volume is permanently lost and will not be recovered afterward.

Of course, this is just using blood volume as an example; Chu You has other Attributes as fixed values.

In short, if one does not wish to share control over their body with another consciousness, then... one may begin the resistance.

In any case, the System wouldn’t leave players in a position of absolute disadvantage; there would still be capital to strike back.

But!!

Consider the environment here, who is being faced, and where exactly Chu You has appeared.

This is a level 200 map!! The Demon Soul within the supreme treasure!!

Meaning, the enemy Chu You faces is incredibly powerful, and to oppose such an existence, one’s own base must necessarily be level 200! Moreover, the better the equipment, the greater the chance of victory!

Overall, one must be ready to stake their whole Attribute system of their profession!

However, how many professions does Chu You have?

When he mentally chose the button, the button indeed started prompting him!
