After surveying the area again, Reign realized that only the most recent kills were present, leading him to assume that they could not exist here permanently.
And his assumption was correct; dead corpses could not exist permanently inside his body.
Instead, they were transformed into nutrients for Reign and the system to utilize.
With this in mind, he hurriedly searched for the person he deemed worthy of being turned into a puppet.
"You're quite the treasure trove, aren't you? Even in death, you continue to give me a lot of things," Reign chuckled aloud, relishing in the sadistic pleasure of exploiting the deceased.
If he had the chance, he'd award Jayden with the "Kill of the Month" prize for his unwitting contribution to Reign's power.
Unlike the other souls, Jayden's soul remained indifferent and expressionless, devoid of any signs of pain or anguish.
