Chapter 66: The Soul-Eater Blade

The ordinary attack of the Soul-Eater Blade comes with a one-meter-wide blade aura, which increases in range as the user's ability level rises.

**Soul-Eater Slash**: Consumes the user's mental power to quickly unleash a three-meter-wide blade aura. For each soul consumed within the blade, the skill's range doubles.

This was undoubtedly a divine weapon, but it wasn't enough yet; Ye Zian still had the ability of the Goddess of Luck to utilize.

As Ye Zian held the card, he activated the Goddess of Luck's ability.

The golden-quality Soul-Eater Blade was instantly enveloped in a strange red glow, resonating with the blood moon in the sky.

Crimson energy gathered in the air, intertwining and merging into the card, imprinting a blood-red long knife onto it.

**Soul-Eater Blade**: Upgraded from the Soul-Eater Knife, Current Soul Count: 0/20.

The ordinary attack now comes with a two-meter-wide blade aura, which increases in range with the user's ability level.

**Soul-Eater Slash**: Consumes the user's mental power to quickly unleash a four-meter-wide blade aura. For each soul consumed, the attack range doubles.

**Soul Piercing**: Pierces through the enemy's brain, gradually destroying their soul while the enemy's memories are presented in the user's mind.

Truly worthy of a legendary weapon of red quality, it not only has area damage with ordinary attacks but also possesses a powerful area-clearing skill.

If Ye Zian unleashed a Soul-Eater Slash consuming 20 souls, enemies within an 80-meter radius would be instantly wiped out.

This was double the range of the previous 40-meter blade.

Just as Ye Zian reveled in his joy, a faint sound suddenly emanated from beneath the ground.

Something was there?

Ye Zian unleashed a Soul-Eater Slash, and the already shattered ground from the Hammer of the Heavens was completely upheaved.

**Ding ding ding! Detected S-Class Mutated Zombie - Night Demon.**

As the ground was torn open by the Soul-Eater Slash, a mutated zombie that appeared ordinary at first glance but bore bat wings on its back emerged before Ye Zian.

Ye Zian's expression turned strange.

Why did this zombie's clothing and face resemble that of his second uncle?

The system's prompt chimed in:

"That's Ye Er, who must have been infected by the Shadow Walker's blood and has now become the mutated zombie Night Demon."

"I see."

Although his uncle had become a mutated zombie, Ye Zian felt no murderous intent emanating from it.

The two stared at each other in the flames.

Ye Er's subconscious loyalty to Ye Zian outweighed his bloodthirsty nature as a zombie. His murky eyes gradually regained clarity, and he muttered, "Young Master."

Ye Zian was surprised that Ye Er still remembered him. After a moment of thought, he said, "Go to the urban area of Xiacheng and keep an eye on the Liu family."

Ye Er didn't seem to fully understand but flapped his wings and soared into the distance, quickly disappearing into the night sky.

Ye Zian felt a mix of emotions, realizing that even as a zombie, his uncle still remembered his identity and was determined to fulfill the task he had assigned.

Perhaps this was the influence of Ye Zian absorbing the main character's halo, granting his steward Ye Er the ability to become a mutated zombie.

"Speaking of which, the will of heaven won't cause any trouble, will it?"

"Rest assured, the will of heaven is currently in a weakened state. Previously, every time it intervened directly in Su Chen's safety, it forcibly raised his early strength to Ye Er's level, which consumed a significant amount of its energy."

"Yesterday's Shadow Walker was also created out of thin air by the will of heaven to save the main character Su Chen, while also eliminating the traitorous heroine to restore the story to its original course. It simply didn't anticipate being disrupted by Ye Er."

Ye Zian pondered over the system's words, realizing their truth. In the original story, there was no Shadow Walker at Xiacheng University; its sudden appearance was indeed very strange, and the card it dropped was unexpectedly golden, a rarity in his meticulous calculations that allowed Su Chen to hold his own against Ye Er, which contradicted the book's plot.

The drop rate for golden cards from S-Class mutated zombies was less than one in ten thousand, and for Ye Zian to encounter it was certainly a testament to how far the will of heaven was willing to go to save Su Chen.

"Once Su Chen dies, the will of heaven will fall into slumber, and this world will operate independently without the emergence of another main character. However, host, do not let your guard down; the heroines in the story are not to be trifled with."

Ye Zian deeply agreed. These recent encounters had made him realize that without the main character's halo, Su Chen would be nothing but a lamb to the slaughter, and the end of the apocalypse in the original story was primarily due to the efforts of those heroines.

Not to mention other countries, aside from the fated daughter Shangguan Yu, the Great Summer also had three powerful female ability users.

Aside from the Yanjing base currently controlled by the supreme commander Ouyang Zhen, which had not yet fallen into Shangguan Yu's hands, there were Qin Yueyao from the Chang'an base, Shen Mengnan from the Tianfu base, and Shen Xue from the Modu base. Each of these three women controlled one of the three giant bases in the Great Summer, all of which had populations exceeding one million and dominated their respective regions.

"After the apocalypse ends, you can live with your beloved while I return to climb the corporate ladder. We both deserve a bright future."

Ye Zian understood the system's words; the world he was in was merely a small one, not the so-called vast world. The will of heaven had limited resources to cultivate another main character. As the only surviving remnant of the will of heaven, Su Chen was exceptionally fortunate.

The will of heaven would soon return to chaos, and it would take hundreds of years to nurture a new main character. This period would be his chance to seize control over the will of heaven.

Ye Zian tightened his grip on the Soul-Eater Blade. With this weapon, he would be more than capable of facing the later stages of the apocalypse, and no other ability user would stand a chance against him.

Having thought through everything, Ye Zian rose and headed back to the fortress.

With the fortress just 40 kilometers away, Ye Zian pressed down on the gas of his Hummer, reaching the fortress in under 20 minutes, just in time for dinner.

"Greetings, City Lord."

As soon as Ye Zian walked into the cafeteria, the new team members eating on both sides immediately stood up and bowed respectfully, which made Ye Zian feel quite pleased.

The veteran team members, seasoned in the field, quickly rose to greet the new recruits.

After a lifetime of fighting, it was time for them to enjoy themselves.

The survivors from the girls' dormitory were now witnessing the life in the fortress truly reflected Ye Zian's words. Not only was there an abundance of food, but also a warm place to stay, requiring only daily work in the fortress.

Thanks to the influence of the Tower of Heaven, they now regarded Ye Zian with reverence.

Voices rang out in unison from afar:

"Brother Zian!"

Lin Qianqian and Liu Qinghuan fluttered towards Ye Zian like two butterflies, rushing from their spots to leap into his embrace, each linking an arm with him and casting playful glances at each other.

Being of the same age, the two found it especially easy to start comparing themselves, vying for his attention.

Of course, as long as it wasn't malicious competition, Ye Zian was more than happy to witness such scenes.
