The Witch Hunter System

Chapter 1052: Jade Soul King’s Death

Hades Realm, Jadesky Territory

Within the solar system of the blue supergiant, the Hades Star, and at the heart of the jade-green planet, the fourth celestial body from its star, a tiny wisp of green soul fire materialized from the jadeite core before transforming into a miniature, green flame-covered skeleton.

"THANATOS—!!!" the miniature Jade Soul Sky howled, full of rage and unwillingness.

Thanks to his partial connection to the Jadesky Territory, his life was ultimately preserved. However, he had lost all of his power and had to start over again.

How could the Jade Soul King accept such an outcome?

Unfortunately, no matter how unwilling he was, the reality of his situation would not change. He no longer wielded the power of a Peak Rank 6 Divine Being. Only his connection to the Jadesky Territory was kept, which was also proof of his status.

However, status without power was like a chest without a lock; it could be opened by anyone and have its content robbed.

As such, although the Jade Soul King wanted revenge, he was also afraid of seeking out the other Soul Kings of Hades. If his situation were spread, the Rank 6 Divine Beings would start aiming for the Jadesky’s core.

"Jade Soul King, are you here?"

The raspy voice of another Soul King suddenly resounded in the verdant sky of the Jadesky Territory but was clearly heard by the Jade Soul King deep in the center of the planet.

The Jade Soul King couldn’t help but curse the Pyrite Soul King’s impeccable timing after recognizing his voice.

The Pyrite Soul King was the Realm Lord of Hades.

"Are you going to pretend you are not home, Jade Soul King? Are you sure you want to ignore me?"

After several minutes of waiting, the Pyrite Soul King’s voice resounded again, carrying a hint of threat and impatience. The Jade Soul King’s expression soured, knowing he couldn’t escape this meeting.

Although the Pyrite Soul King wasn’t a Rank 7 Divine Being, Hades had a unique inheritance that allowed him to bind the Hades Star.

Naturally, it couldn’t compare to the binding of a genuine Rank 7 Divine Being. However, it still allowed the Pyrite Soul King to command some of the realm’s power. As such, he could sense the Jade Soul King’s presence to some extent.

The Jade Soul King had no choice but to invite the Pyrite Soul King into his territory with his limited control over the Jadesky Territory. He couldn’t even manifest his consciousness outside; he could only produce a slight weather change as a signal.

Because of that, the Pyrite Soul King’s doubt strengthened.

At the same time, he did not head to the Jadesky Palace but headed to the Jadesky Core, where he sensed the Jade Soul King’s presence. Utilizing the unique ability of his crystal soul race, he phased through the crystalline earth and arrived at his destination within minutes. ℟ά𐌽𝖔ＢÈṨ

"Jade Soul King, you... lost your true body?" the Pyrite Soul King frowned at the Jade Soul King’s pitiful form.

"That’s right, Pyrite Soul King."

The Jade Soul King admitted with a sigh, knowing he was completely at the Pyrite Soul King’s mercy. If the latter wanted to end him, there was nothing he could do.

"What happened? You left the realm not that long ago. How could you have lost your true body so quickly? Who killed your true body?" the Pyrite Soul King interrogated.

The Jade Soul King was immediately displeased by the Pyrite Soul King’s change in attitude, but he wasn’t in a position to refuse his questions.

"The Great Devil Thanatos of Gehenna killed my true body. Moreover, he did very decisively without caring for what I had to say," the Jade Soul King answered.

"What’s truly shocking is that he actually possessed genuine Realm Lord authority despite being a Peak Rank 6 Divine Being. There’s definitely something strange about him."

"I don’t think he is what everyone thinks he is," the Jade Soul King doubted.

"Oh? There was such a thing?" the Pyrite Soul King uttered with surprise before his gaze suddenly sharpened. "But Thanatos wouldn’t have killed your true body without a reason, right?"

"This... What are you doing, Pyrite Soul King?!" the Jade Soul King cried in panic after the Pyrite Soul King suddenly grabbed him with a phantom hand, restricting his movements.

"What am I doing? I’m punishing a stupid fool, obviously. Why? Do you think I don’t know why you headed to Gehenna in a hurry? Isn’t it because of the rumor about the Demigod Soul Master?"

The Pyrite Soul King glared at the powerless Jade Soul King in his grasp and said, "Without consulting all of the Soul Kings, you arbitrarily rushed to Gehenna to secure the Demigod Soul Master for yourself!"

"It wouldn’t have been a problem if you actually brought the Demigod Soul Master. However, not only did you fail to do so, but you exposed your intent to Gehenna and got your true body killed!"

"Now that you are a completely useless piece of shit, why the hell should we still keep you? It’s time to step down for someone more capable!" Pyrite Soul King stated, eyes flashing with killing intent.

The tiny Jade Soul King was immediately horrified.

If he died again in his current state, he would not revive again—not unless he completely fused with the Jadesky Core and became one with the green planet.

However, with his movements restricted by the Pyrite Soul King’s phantom hand, would the latter still give him the opportunity to do it?

Definitely not! He was going to be killed!

"I’m not useless! I still have some information! Please don’t kill me! I don’t want to die—Ahhhh!"

The Pyrite Soul King did not heed the Jade Soul King’s desperate plea.

He clenched his phantom hand and crushed the tiny Jade Soul King into soul powder. Breaking his soul body was equivalent to shattering his soul; it caused his consciousness to scatter into the death of nothingness.

Shortly after, the Pyrite Soul King swallowed the soul powder remains of the Jade Soul King’s existence, absorbing whatever little soul power they had to offer.
