We all time-traveled at the same time, but why isn't anyone human?

Chapter 6 The Holy Spirit, eternally immortal, whose glory is everlasting!

"Name?"

"Jiro Yamada."

"age."

"Twenty-two."

"What spell have you awakened?"

Lu Ping controlled the soul of a blond biker named "Yamada Jiro" with his right hand, making him reveal all the information he had gained after awakening as a sorcerer.

"I don't know what it is either. It seems to be a shikigami called [Onifire Motorcycle]. Ah, I'll show it to you."

Yamada Jiro's eyes were vacant as he released his spell as instructed by Lu Ping.

Rumbling--

A motorcycle flickering with ghostly blue flames, accompanied by a faint fluctuation of magical energy, emerged from behind Yamada Jiro. The motorcycle was poor in size, magical energy intensity, and stability; its hardness was probably less than that of tofu, and it had virtually no combat capability.

Looking at the blond-haired good-for-nothing who had awakened a useless ability and was even inferior to a level four sorcerer, Lu Ping was not disappointed. Instead, he showed a look of great interest, observing the ghost fire motorcycle and analyzing it to himself.

"Since you're a biker gang member, does that mean your awakened technique is also related to 'motorcycles'?"

"In the original work, most of the spells awakened by sorcerers seem to be closely related to their personality and preferences. For example, Kinji, who likes gambling, awakened the gambler's exclusive spell, 'Sitting Killer Gambler,' and lawyer Hiromi Himura awakened the spell 'Judge' because of his inner sense of justice."

"However, it's not that liking something will automatically awaken a powerful corresponding spell; the sorcerer's own 'will' seems to play a significant role as well."

"This biker gang member has a weak will and a very weak soul flame. They have no real obsession with their goal, so the power of the spell they awakened is also very low."

As a cursed spirit specializing in attacking human souls, Lu Ping can clearly perceive the strength of each person's soul. In his view, the biker gang member Yamada Jiro's will is very weak, and the quality of his soul is far inferior to that of the likes of Kenji and Hiromi.

Therefore, even if his soul was modified and the spell was forcibly awakened, only such a weak shikigami could be awakened.

"Interesting. I need more samples to verify my hypothesis. If I can follow this logic, I can save a lot of time and magical power, and greatly improve the average quality of my awakened sorcerers."

Lu Ping's lips curled into a slight smile. Then, with a flick of his right hand, he erased all the memories from the biker's mind and casually tossed him aside by the roadside.

His spell power is too low; he'll likely never reach the level of a second-level spellcaster in his lifetime. Spells below the second-level spellcaster level have virtually no effect on him, so keeping such a guy around is just a waste of time.

Now, he's going to start finding people to conduct experiments to see if his theory is true.

……

A week later.

Inside the sewer pipe where the cursed spirits gathered, Louhu looked at the dozen or so humans of different ages, appearances, and professions, and asked Lu Ping with a puzzled expression.

"Master, why did you capture these humans? Didn't you say you wouldn't eat people for the time being?"

"Besides, we cursed spirits don't need physical bodies to devour souls, they take up too much space. I might as well burn them all to death."

After speaking, Louhu flicked a spark from her fingertip, intending to burn all the humans in front of her to death.

But Lu Ping stopped him.

Lu Ping looked at the dozen or so carefully selected humans in front of him, a smile playing on his lips, his face showing an expression of utter rapture. He waved his hands like a conductor and spoke.

"Louhu, don't be in such a hurry."

"Once you've seen the performance of my 'Apostles,' you'll understand my intentions."

apostle?

Louhu, Huayu, and Tuogen looked at each other in bewilderment. They knew that the real people had been in contact with humans and had been having some strange conversations with them these past few days.

What do you mean, "Mr. Victim, you don't want to live such a miserable life, do you?"

What? "Hey gunman, don't you want to get revenge on the culprit who caused all this?"

What do you mean, "Detective, that woman who ruined your life, don't you want to drag her down to hell with your own hands?"

Such words.

I can't understand it at all.

With his real strength, he could easily kill those mortals a thousand or ten thousand times, but he insists on going to great lengths to have an equal dialogue with them.

He neither directly uses "non-action transformation" to turn them into obedient puppets, nor does he directly devour their souls. I really don't know what he's up to.

Only Lu Ping knew that everything he did was worthwhile.

After the experiments conducted by the blond biker gang member "Yamada Jiro," he made a preliminary deduction about the awakening method of the technique and, following this logic, searched for many potential "Apostle candidates."

Furthermore, after several failures, Lu Ping improved his awakening method, gradually perfecting it into a complete system.

The specific rules of this system are as follows:

First, the age of the awakened one should ideally be between fifteen and fifty years old. If the age is too young or too old, the power of the soul will weaken, and even if a powerful technique is awakened, it will be difficult to have room for further advancement.

Second, it is best to choose humans who have experienced a major life turning point but have not yet collapsed as the subjects of awakening. Such people are more likely to have their souls give birth to powerful spells, and their soul strength is generally stronger.

Third, only make minimal soul modifications and do not apply any changes other than the necessary backup plan (rebellion means death). The human soul is a very fragile thing. Too many modifications will cause the soul's potential to drop significantly, or even directly turn it into a monster like a modified human.

After adhering to these three principles, Lu Ping continued to search for promising sorcerers, and after some persuasive speeches, he finally developed the business to its current scale.

Don't be fooled by the fact that there are only a dozen or so "apostles" in front of you.

However, each of them has the potential to surpass "Sanwa Kasumi" and is expected to advance to the second level of sorcerer in a short period of time, or even break through to the first level, thus providing Lu Ping with a source of sorcery power.

Swah——

Returning to the present, as Lu Ping's conductor-like right hand gently swept across the room, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties, honest and unassuming, stepped forward with a calm gaze.

A shattered dark ring appeared on the ring finger of his right hand, radiating intense magical energy.

"My spell is called [Shattered Wedding Ring]. Anything that is touched by this wedding ring will shatter and disintegrate."

"Just like that woman and her lover, I used this wedding ring to shatter them into ten thousand tiny pieces of flesh, fulfilling the vows I made at the time of our marriage—"

"Those who betray me will be torn to pieces."

The honest sorcerer spoke the most ruthless words in the calmest tone.

"Twenty years ago, when they absconded with all my assets, framed me, and imprisoned me, leaving me isolated and abandoned by everyone, I had already made my decision."

"Whoever can grant me revenge, I will dedicate the rest of my life to him, even if it means making a deal with the devil."

As he spoke, he looked at Lu Ping with awe, knelt on one knee, and said in a trembling voice.

"We are all beings redeemed by the Holy Spirit, and for the Holy Spirit, we are willing to give everything!"

Behind him.

The group of humans draped in black robes all stepped forward and unleashed their spells, their faces filled with admiration and gratitude for Lu Ping.

Among them.

Some were the culprits whose families were destroyed by the evil cult, but after being given a spell by Lu Ping, they turned the tables and killed the cult leader's deadly gunman.

Some were retired police detectives who had been oppressed and humiliated by the daughters of politicians who had used their power, but who finally regained their dignity after Lu Ping bestowed upon them the magic formula.

There are also laid-off employees who were abandoned by their companies after falling ill, firefighters who were burned while saving lives but were falsely accused, and genius researchers whose research results were stolen, and so on.

Beneath the glamorous surface of Tokyo, darkness and crime are never in short supply.

Compared to cursed spirits, the one who hurts humanity the most is always humanity itself.

"The Holy Spirit will never perish!"

"Holy Spirit, your glory is eternal!"

Someone shouted something, and soon everyone joined in the shouting.

Their gazes toward Lu Ping held a newfound fervor, as if they were looking not at a devil who made deals with humans, but at a god who had saved them from their dark lives.

Louhu was completely stunned by what she saw.

"You...the Holy Spirit?"

Is this world truly at its peak, or is it just a dream?

The most evil cursed spirit, "Zhenren," was conceived from the evil thoughts of humankind.

It's unbelievable that a group of humans would worship it as a holy spirit!
