My Soul card is a Reaper

Azzy couldn't gauge its expression as it lacked any proper features but the eruption of its aura clearly showed that it was angry.

"Good…" He nodded to himself and charged forward.

The Shadow Being also charged forward toward him. However, this time, it was Azzy's turn to get hit.

With a powerful punch to his abdomen, Azzy crashed onto the wall and fell into the adjacent room.

"Ugh…"

Letting out a groan of pain, Azzy tried to get up but the Shadow Being didn't give him any opportunity to resist. It gave another punch.

Of course, his reflexes are fast enough to dodge its punch even at such close range. But, Azzy didn't do it and got punched.

This time, the force broke the floor and Azzy fell into the chemist's lab, the room below the one he earlier fell on.

The liquids spilled on him, melting a bit of his clothes and giving a bit of tingling pain to his skin.

The bruises were now clear on his skin but for the first time, they were healed.

Azzy couldn't help but become confused, "Are they rebelling or are they truly disconnected? Never mind, it is here…"

His eyes met with the Shadow Being looking at him from the top of the hole in the ceiling.

"Should I take this matter into my own hands?" Azzy thought about whether he should fight back as its attacks didn't seem life-threatening.

However, he still didn't get any confirmation that it was a cosmic jewel. It was the first time he was witnessing that a cosmic jewel in the form of a monster, and not a stone.

As it jumped down with its fist, Azzy got another crazy thought and he evaded at the last second.

Rolling to the side and then jumping a few meters away, Azzy held his footing and looked at his opponent, "With such meager attacks, you aren't going to kill me, weakling. Unless you kill me, you aren't going to see your siblings either." He taunted it.

"Grrrrr"

A growl escaped from the Shadow being and its aura got much stronger than before.

The Shadow Being charged toward him once again but this time, it was blurry even for Azzy.

Just like he planned, he didn't try to block the attack.

Little did he expect it to disappear right in front of his eyes and appear behind him before piercing his chest with his hand from the back, or more precisely, his heart.

Just like that dark creature's attack, his 9-tier divine physique couldn't block its piercing attack.

*Puchi*

He spat a mouthful of blood on the floor and his vision became dizzy.

Since he already experienced a near-death experience just a while ago, he didn't have any illusions in his head this time.

On the contrary, his head was quite clear and there was no fear of death in his heart that now had been punctured.

His blood pressure dropped dramatically, his chest was bleeding uncontrollably, and his breathing became too heavy; without any surprise, his consciousness was seeping away as every second passed.

As the Shadow Being took back the hand, Azzy started falling onto the floor at a slow pace.

Before he lost the last bit of consciousness left in his body, He roared in his mind, "As your master, I command you to appear and save my life. Now."

Meanwhile, in the mindscape;

The three cosmic jewels were seen floating in the sky.

They were glowing as brightly as they could but their movements were completely restricted by Death energy bubbles. They were trying their best to escape it but couldn't do so.

Even the glowing gem on Vajra's forehead was imprisoned by the bubble.

The Reaper, who was watching everything, let out a smile as he mumbled, "I guess, this kid will finally learn his lesson that the cosmic jewels aren't mere weapons that he could use and throw away as he wish. Nevertheless, if I don't help him now, he is going to die."

He took a glance to the side, "Well, you can now go and help your master." He raised his skeletal hand.

Just as he snapped his fingers and released the energy bubbles, the four of them shot toward the barrier around the mindscape.

The Beam of Protos energy beat them to the race and enveloped Azzy.

"Eh? What is this?" The Shadow Being took a step back while shaking in fear as Azzy slowly floated in the air with his skin turned pitch black.

With his entire body covered by the Protos energy, Azzy himself now looked just like the Shadow Being before the appearance of a galaxy-like drawing appeared on Azzy's abdomen region. It looked like 3D wallpaper on a smartphone, but the Shadow Being wasn't in the mood to care about his appearance as it was already enveloped by fear.

"How dare a mere fragment threaten my master," Words escaped from Azzy's mouth as it stretched its hand.

"St… stay away you evil fiend… Ack…"

The Shadow Being's chest was pierced by Azzy's hand that stretched like rubber string. It was so fast that Shadow Being couldn't even see it.

Azzy's hand was then moved back and came out of its body, only that there was a small black crystal in his hand now.

*Thud*

Upon falling down, the Shadow Being slowly disintegrated into specks of light, and the large dark creature that lay unconscious on a floor transformed into a naked young man.

Meanwhile, far away from Shengzen City, on the other side of the world;

At Mansion Wu, Aclor City;

A bald man in traditional clothes was having tea with a middle-aged person who looked like he was a high-ranking soldier.

The military man looked like he wasn't pleased at the moment.

"The casualties are increasing at a rapid rate, Mr. Wu. But, you have yet to give us the vaccine," The General furrowed his brows.

Wu Weibao, the chairman of Omnisphere Holdings, calmly took another sip of tea, "It's only been a few weeks since the virus began to spread. You cannot expect a vaccine to develop in much less time."

"You think I'm not aware that your people are secretly getting vaccinated?" The General slammed the table in anger. "Don't take me for a fool. It's best if you release the formula and cooperate with other pharma companies."

Wu Weibao wasn't intimidated by the other party and calmly replied, "Releasing the formula will get you nowhere. The vaccine's main ingredient is the blood of an individual. We are diluting the serums developed from his blood and making the vaccines.

Since we are allowed to only take 100 ml of his blood every time, the rate of production is merely 200 per day at most, which is clearly not enough to even vaccine our own people, much less take care of the world."

"Oh? Who is he?" The General suddenly became curious.

Wu Weibao shrugged his shoulders, "Sorry, it is confidential."

"You need me to influence the government to sanction you that 12 billion Yenzos, Chairman Wu. Think about it once again," The General tried to press him.

Wu Weibao firmly shook his head, "Still no."
