Chapter 39: How About Raising a Hellhound?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Roy now knew that there were several types of souls.

The first type was the low-quality souls or the ordinary souls that existed everywhere. According to the creatures’ intelligence and emotional richness, there were different sizes and soul power values. In the system, these ordinary souls were usually used to draw, create static objects, and even Roy’s modifications. When Roy’s definition of items involved extraordinary power, the consumption of such souls would increase substantially.

The second type was the high-quality souls. Fallen souls and noble souls could be understood quite literally, and they should be of the same quality. Fallen souls were easy to produce. Noble souls were more difficult, so Roy guessed that even though they were of the same quality, they might have differences in energy values. Noble souls would contain more positive energy, while fallen souls would have more negative energy. Of course, this was just his speculation since he had yet to obtain a noble soul.

No matter whether it was fallen souls or noble souls, the system used both to create dynamic derivatives, which were skills. For the system, it did not matter whether the energy was positive or negative, and it could use both. The only difference might be an increase in the consumption of souls for the creation of skills if Roy used an incorrect soul. For example, a noble soul might be completely consumed to create Bloodlust, unlike the fallen soul that had some remaining.

As for the third type of souls, it was the holy soul that Roy now had in possession. If the first two types of souls were low quality and high quality, then holy souls would be superior-quality souls. It was possible to deduce from the soul name that other than holy souls, there would probably be evil souls that belonged to this category. If holy souls were obtained from angels, then evil souls would be obtained from high-level demons.

The one Roy obtained might only be a soul fragment, but no matter what, it was a shard from a superior-quality soul. Other than it having too little soul power, it did not have much difference from a complete soul.

He could basically use all of the system’s functions now that he had obtained the high-quality fallen soul. Therefore, Roy was also curious about what this superior-quality soul could do, and he began communicating with the system.

Most of the time, the system was mechanical in nature and responded based on inputs, so if he did not ask, it would not take the initiative to answer him.

After a series of careful inquiries, Roy had a weird look on his face.

According to the system, superior-quality souls were extremely rare. Under normal circumstances, if demons could contaminate holy souls and erode them with dark power, these souls would eventually degrade, and fallen angels would then be born in the Abyss of the Demon World.

Fallen angels were not a natural evolutionary result of the Abyss of Hell, but they also belonged to a race of demons in the Abyss.

At the same time, if angels obtained the evil souls of high-level demons, they could also give birth to angels after purification.

Was this not wonderful? Angels and demons could actually be transformed into each other. This was why Roy had a strange look on his face…

However, demons could choose to devour holy souls if they were unwilling to transform them into fallen angels, and their demon power and resistance to holy power would greatly improve. In turn, angels could also choose to destroy the evil souls of demons and then transform them into pure holy power to absorb.

Although Roy had only obtained a small piece of soul fragment, he could try to head deep into the Abyss and use the rich dark and chaotic power to erode it. Due to the special connection between soul fragments and the main soul, the soul fragment might transmit this contamination to the main soul and cause it to fall. However, the probability was small, and it might take a very long time.

This was why this soul fragment was of great value. If Roy were to offer this soul fragment to the demon kings, it was an absolutely irresistible temptation to these rulers of the Abyss because it could possibly lead to the fall of Archangel Gabriel! Being able to add such a powerful fighting force to the Abyss was worth a shot even if there was a high price to pay.

The above was just the normal use of holy souls for demons. There was only one way to use it in the system.

Creating and making life!

Yes, under normal circumstances, it was impossible for Roy to use low-quality and high-quality souls to materialize things like fish, cats, and dogs. Only by using superior-quality souls would he be able to achieve this.

The creation of life! Suddenly, Roy felt that the system’s usefulness rose to a new level!

Ordinary people could also create life through intercourse with the opposite sex. However, the creation of life by the system was not referring to this, but the creation of life according to Roy’s settings!

He could freely customize not only the appearance but the personality, power, and abilities to create as many creatures as he liked.

This isn’t just a system anymore but a creator! How can the power of the system be so heaven-defying?!

Should I call it Daddy System from now on?

Roy did not want to follow the usual treatment method for this holy soul fragment. Offering it to a demon king was not in his consideration at all. Putting aside whether or not he could go deeper into the Abyss now, demons were temperamental, and Roy could not be sure how the demon king would reward him. Maybe he would get something, but getting nothing was also possible. The demon king might even stab him to death with a finger so that he would not need to reward him…

Therefore, Roy currently had only two options. One was to devour the soul fragment and enhance his strength and resistance to holy power. The other would be to create a life.

Roy hesitated between the two options. The first option was the best, but Roy wanted the second as well.

Needless to say, the so-called customized life was akin to giving the player in a game a pet or mount. To be honest, he had been in the Abyss for almost half a year. Killing and harvesting souls to strengthen himself dominated his days, and Roy had no one to communicate with. Even if he was summoned to other worlds, humans did not treat him as their own, so the loneliness within Roy was unimaginable.

If he created a pet to accompany him, it might alleviate some loneliness for him.

After returning to the nest, Roy finally made his decision.

He could improve his strength and resistance to holy power as long as he had Daddy System and a lot of souls, so it would be better for him to use it to create a pet or a mount!

Moreover, who said that pets and mounts did not bring enhancements? They could also help Roy fight!

Therefore, Roy opened the system interface and started drawing.

What kind of pet is good? While pondering, Roy unconsciously drew a dog …
