God's Eyes

"Is it only me, or are you also confused about why nobody can find the Soul Monarch and his guards?

Isn't it weird? Like where the hell can he and his Guards hide so well that not even traces of them can be found??"

Listening to the woman in front of them, Jason furrowed his brows.

He understood her concern because nobody was able to find the Soul Monarch.

Nonetheless, her wild guess that they had to be able to change their form back to a normal Yinar was weird.

It was not even reasonable to make such an assumption, which caused him to eye the woman for a little bit longer.

His eyes began to glow lightly as he inserted divine energy into them.

Jason just wanted to figure out who she was to make such a weird prediction, but there was nothing special about her.

But the moment he felt deathly glares upon him, he quickly lost interest in the woman.

Pulling Jennifer closer to himself, he mumbled sweetly.

"Don't act like that, Jen. You know, I have eyes only for you!" 

Afterward, he wanted to say more to pacify Jennifer, but he could tell that the ears of the woman in front of them had perked up.

Thus, he decided not to elaborate further as he waited for her to leave.

This didn't take long as the woman felt noticeably uncomfortable with Jason and Jennifer behind her as she shared her doubts.

Handing over the missions to the young receptionist, Jason simply smiled, allowing her to take a few deep breaths as he mumbled,

"Is that even possible? Shapeshifting between two forms?" 

Hearing this, Jason's smile stiffened for a moment.

Initially, he didn't think much of the woman's comment and discarded it as a fantasy, but after giving it another thought, Jason was unable to think of anything else.

'If…just if devouring their wandering soul changed something in their genetic model, it should be possible for them to actively fuse with their wandering souls, and to revert to their original form…just like any Agran can do as long as their connection with a soulbond is deep enough…it's like a soul fusion…'

The impossible thought seemed to become more plausible than the Soul Monarch and his Guards leaving the Ninad beast realm in order to figure out what their next steps would be.

In fact, they were strong enough to openly stay in the Ninad beast realm.

Yet, nobody had found even a single clue about them for an entire year.

This caused Jason to think a lot about the woman's words which Jennifer noticed.

She had only planned to tease him by acting jealous, but when Jennifer understood that he was seriously considering the woman's words, she was a little bit dumbfounded.

'Isn't it obviously impossible?'

However, even Jennifer could slowly comprehend some of the truth behind the veil of things that seemed to be impossible.

After all, both Jason and Jennifer's existence was also deemed as impossible, to begin with.

Yet, instead of never receiving a chance to be born, they were still alive, and far more powerful than many other existences at their age or cultivation base.

Taking a deep breath, Jennifer figured that there were lots of things she would have to discuss with Jason once they left the mission hall, which happened not long after.

Sharing her opinion about the words of the woman, moments after they left the mission hall, the two had a long discussion that lasted for hours while they flew through the air before they came to a conclusion.

It was very likely for the Yinar that devoured wandering souls to change their shapes just like shapeshifters such as werewolves.

In fact, there might be quite a few requirements to completely transform themselves, but that was not something either Jason or Jennifer could know.

They only figured that it was very likely.

Being able to change their shape while being able to hide even the slightest clues that would reveal their identity also meant that their shape-shifting had multiple functions.

One of these functions would be that their energy fluctuations would have to change completely!

Even the slightest trace of their Wandering soul's form would have to disappear and be completely shielded, only to be replaced by the fluctuations of a Yinar that they had once been.

However, even that was something Jason was sure not to be the case.

After all, there were simply too many people that knew that Soul Monarch and the Guards' looks from the old days before they had betrayed their race.

The entire situation that had seemed to be quite simple at first glance, frustrated Jennifer and Jason.

They had hoped to solve their issue with procuring Soa crystals relatively easy.

Unfortunately, everything occurring around them was always complex.

Thus, their frustration quickly subsided as they looked at each other with a slight smile.

"I guess we can be happy because it will never get boring with the two of us, right?"

Trying to ease the situation, Jason said just anything that came to his mind which caused Jennifer to laugh out as she nodded her head.

"At least you can see something positive in this mess." 

Adding this, her smile turned even wider.

Yet, it was not long before they became serious.

The area they were going to approach was rather dangerous and ruled by Ascendion stage beasts, even those which Jason and Jennifer didn't want to face anytime soon.

Thus, they had to avoid them, while only attacking the wandering souls they were supposed to decimate.

Other than that, killing wandering souls would be quite wasteful as they were precious resources to the Yinar race.

In fact, catching wandering souls might as well be much better than killing them.

Yet, in order to catch a wandering soul, it had to be a rare one to make it truly worthwhile. Additionally, it required lots of equipment, time, and the necessary skill.

Jason was pretty sure to have the required skill, but time was something that was not on his side.

He was better at killing than catching too, which might seem cruel.

Nevertheless, it was the truth.

Thus, instead of getting information about how to catch a wandering soul, Jason recalled the advice on how to kill a wandering soul in the fastest possible way.

In the end, this was quite easy because one had to simply cut the major intersections of the soul veins.

However, being invisible in the form of the wandering souls, only Jason was able to see them properly.

Others would have to search for the affinity seeds of the wandering souls or something that resembled a grain-sized seedling.

That was, in most cases, the area in which the majority of veins were connected and joined together.

There were also wandering souls that could heal their soul veins and others that had specific protective traits such as being able to divide their body in an instance.

With that in mind, Jason was quite intrigued about the wandering souls he would encounter.

Yet, even more important to him was to find out how his body would react to different types of wandering souls.

Would his soul world core vibrate once again, or would it stay silent?

This was something he wanted to find out, and it was only shortly after they entered the large territory where he and Jennifer were supposed to decimate different types of wandering souls that he found something.

Unfortunately, the answer Jason received confused him a lot.

'How can that be possible?'
