Rebirth in the Soul Street: Becoming a Demon King in Another World

"So, I'm just a replica?"

Diarmuid looked at his hands in confusion.

After the battle with the Knight King, he accepted the suggestion made by Cao Yanling and signed a contract with him. Diarmuid has officially become one of Cao Yanling's research subjects.

After signing the contract, Cao Yanling directly used the incomplete soul source magic to sever the connection between Diarmuid and the Holy Grail. Although the creativity of the Holy Grail could be described as unparalleled perfection, the contractual connection with the Heroic Spirit was not very strong, and Cao Yanling easily severed it.

From then on, Diarmuid was no longer a Heroic Servant of the Holy Grail War, but became a truly independent individual, an independent magical undead.

Of course, Cao Yanling also explained to him the origin of the Holy Grail Heroic Spirit, which was also the reason why Diarmuid was a little confused.

"So, the meaning of our existence is just to finish this war?"

Diarmuid murmured in confusion again.

What is the obsession in his heart? Is there any meaning? It is just a product of a twisted mind!

Not only him, but even the bold and unrestrained King of Conquerors, who also heard Cao Yanling's explanation, showed a rare trace of confusion.

There is also the Knight King who already knew the truth. Although she firmly stated that she was not a replica, only she could understand her inner struggle. Under the influence of the other two heroic spirits, she was gradually stained with confusion.

"Are you confused?" Cao Yanling spoke at the right time.

Confused? He had seen this kind of thing many times. When he was still in the Science Army, he saw such people almost every day. No matter how determined they were when they walked into the laboratory, no matter how determined the warriors were, when they completed the blood transformation and walked out of the laboratory, when they became inhuman beings, without exception, they had fallen into confusion.

In the magical world, there is no such discipline as psychologists, and of course there are no people engaged in this discipline. Therefore, as researchers and blood editors, they not only have to transform the human body, but also comfort the minds of the experimenters, which is also their indispensable task.

“Confused! You don’t have to feel confused.

The soul is a very wonderful thing. What is a real soul? It is not the power of the soul. The key to the soul is memory. Only a soul with memory is a real individual! "

Cao Yanling was talking nonsense seriously. He had only just started to learn about the soul! No one must understand it. Who would know what he was talking about?

As a person who has guided many lost lambs, Cao Yanling summed up a method of guidance. If you want to guide confused people, the most effective way is not to comfort them, but to fool them, no, it is to state the facts!

The guide should state a fact, a definite fact, a fact that confirms the confused.

This fact should be as profound as possible, so profound that confused people can hardly understand it, but they will feel that this fact is reasonable and think that it is a theorem, a theorem that cannot be changed!

Confused people are like drowning people. As long as they see a glimmer of hope, they will hold on to it tightly. Even if they do not agree with this point of view subjectively, they will agree with it in their subconscious desire to survive.

The fact you state, whether correct or not, must be logically sound. Then, as you continue to guide them, the confused person will believe it more and more under the influence of his subconscious mind.

"…So, you have souls, independent memories, and independent thinking, so you are not copies of others. Compared to copies, don't you think you are more like the counterparts of those people in this time and space?

You have similar appearances, similar experiences, and similar abilities as them, but you are completely different. You are the heroic spirits from another time and space, aren't you?

......"

Cao Yanling is still talking nonsense.

However, Diarmuid and the other two nodded in agreement. Upon seeing this, Cao Yanling sighed inwardly, realizing that his ability to... comfort people had not declined!

Moreover, these knights and emperors are more easily guided by researchers like him. They have the habit of independent thinking and will not be completely led by Cao Yanling's words or subconscious. They will think about whether the statements in the words are true, but there are a lot of correct remarks in Cao Yanling's words. After thinking about it, they will approve of it, thereby deepening his identification with these words.

"...and this isn't a materialistic world! Right?"

Cao Yanling placed his right hand on his heart, as if to put an end to the conversation.

"This is a world of idealism, heroic spirits! You all have hearts!"

Diarmuid and the other two subconsciously stroked their hearts, and the confusion in their eyes gradually dissipated.

Yes! I have a heart!

Seeing the changes in the three people's eyes, Cao Yanling knew that his goal had been achieved, and he quietly took back the magic circle in his left hand behind his back.

——Mind Magic·Subconscious Guidance

After all, I am the chief spiritual guide master of the Science Army. How could I not know some little spiritual magic?

The next moment after Cao Yanling took back the magic circle, Diarmuid suddenly knelt on one knee in front of him and performed a knight's salute of allegiance.

Diarmuid wasted time searching for a suitable monarch and wandering in a daze. He was afraid that he would become confused again and eventually lose himself. Instead of doing that, he might as well choose a monarch now.

I think a person who consumes his soul to the point of near-dispersion in order to ward off evil spirits cannot be a bad person!

"I am the magical undead soul that walked out of the Holy Grail, the loser of the war, the determined lost man, the nameless knight of the spear. I offer my loyalty to you, my Lord!

Ask my Lord to give your knight a name!"

Diarmuid Odin, this name has nothing to do with him at this moment. From now on, he will abandon this name and the memories of the past. He is no longer the legendary heroic spirit. He is now just the monarch's guardian knight!

"Um?!"

Cao Yanling was surprised for a moment by Diarmuid's loyalty, but he quickly came to his senses and said happily:

"I accept your allegiance."

Diarmuid Odina, the surname and the given name are each taken from the same pronunciation.

"Then your name is Ao Mu now!"

"Thank you, Lord, for the name."

Finally, Cao Yanling also had loyal knights in the Soul-Suppressing World. Recalling the faces of the Kezi Army that he would never see again, he suddenly felt sad. Those Kezi Army knights were the only memories worth cherishing in his mind.

After seeing Dilumu, no, Aomura's loyalty, Kayneth couldn't help but feel happy. Finally, his wish had come true!

After Ao Mu found his monarch, he felt that his fate had changed and he would not die with regrets.

This was obviously a strange, absurd and sudden idea, but he firmly believed in it.

"So, who won the duel between you and the king?"

After the loyalty ceremony was over, Xiao Mo suddenly came up and curiously asked Ao Mu the question that everyone had in mind.

In the final battle between the Knight King and Ao Mu, they jumped to the top of a tall building. By the time everyone arrived, the battle was over, so only the two of them knew the result.
