The Flame Queen shouted angrily: "You invited me in, and now you resist? Once your defensive barrier takes shape, it won’t dissipate for a short time, rendering my soul infusion ineffective."

Simultaneously, she was secretly shocked by the power of Gaven’s soul consciousness, which far exceeded the norm.

If it were a proper contest of Will, she might not win against him, and the soul infusion would naturally be ineffective.

"Sorry... instinctive reaction!" Gaven replied to the Flame Queen while grimacing, forcibly suppressing the Road Divine Power within his body and voluntarily allowing the Flame Queen’s Strength to enter.

This invisibly increased Gaven’s confidence; even without War Ravager’s absolute control over the Flame Queen, he could still repel her with his own Strength.

Ah...

But the pain was real; even though Gaven thought his Will was strong enough, he couldn’t help but cry.

This kind of soul fire burning the soul created pain a thousand times greater than physical pain.

Once this pain began, it was hard to perceive the physical.

Under this soul-rending pain, Gaven felt his soul consciousness beginning to scatter.

The Flame Queen didn’t slow the influx of fire into Gaven’s body but rather increased the speed further, reaching an extreme.

If Gaven couldn’t bear this soul infusion attack and turned completely to ashes, she wouldn’t mind taking all his inheritance.

But when she truly entered Gaven’s Consciousness Sea, the Flame Queen realized she had underestimated the opponent.

In front of her wasn’t a person’s Soul but a Soul Tower with twenty-one layers, adorned with dazzling patterns, each representing a powerful ability.

The Flame Queen’s gaze was instantly drawn to the dark red abilities at the base, though she’d never seen them before; she could be one hundred percent sure they were Gaven’s Power of Revenge, the key to her contemplating revenge Path of Ascension.

Her heart was aflame with uncontrollable desire, and she lunged toward the Soul Tower, preparing to ignite it completely and extract what she wanted.

"This is my Soul, and I should decide!" A solemn voice sounded from the Soul Tower.

The Soul Tower rose, charging toward the Flame Queen.

Now, the Flame Queen discovered the Soul Tower was merely a facade.

It was hollow inside, allowing a view from the bottom to the other side, where a unique flow of power was constantly circulating.

This power, in its cycle, generated a strong attraction, pulling the Flame Queen’s soul consciousness inward.

This was somewhat bewildering.

The Flame Queen had used her soul infusion ability countless times to ignite and burn the Life around her.

Encounters that could directly expel her were not too many nor too few.

But someone like Gaven, who turned the tables and tried to control her, was the first, using methods unseen before.

This completely triggered the Flame Queen’s stubborn nature, pushing her power to its extreme, transforming into a vast sea of flames, surging towards the Soul Tower, enveloping it, intending to ignite it from top to bottom.

She succeeded.

The entire Soul Tower was engulfed in raging flames, becoming a fiery Soul Tower.

Yet she didn’t fully succeed.

As she had not completed controlling him, this meant the Soul and body’s ownership remained in his hands.

Simultaneously, the Soul Tower’s power surged stronger, to the point where the Flame Queen couldn’t resist entirely, with some soul fire being drawn in, flowing with it.

During this flow, the Flame Queen distinctly felt her power being extracted piece by piece, while an equivalent power injected into her soul consciousness.

Although the power was extremely tiny, it was like seeds entering her soul consciousness, quickly gathering similar nature and expanding.

With each cycle, this unique power grew stronger, deepening her understanding and insight of it.

This was precisely the Power of Revenge Gaven had promised her.

Upon realizing real benefits could be obtained, the Flame Queen immediately abandoned resistance against this attraction, wholeheartedly joining it.

She performed soul infusion on Gaven not to harm him but to acquire the Power of Revenge.

Since his promises were genuine, why would she stir up needless trouble?

With the Flame Queen’s cooperation.

The Soul Tower’s flowing speed immediately reached a new level, transforming into a massive fire barrel, continually circulating.

In a trance, the Flame Queen seemed to see how Gaven had stripped the Undead Goddess of Revenge’s powers of Undead and Revenge, integrating them into his Soul.

Meanwhile, Gaven’s soul consciousness seemed to drift back countless years, watching helplessly as the Corpse King performed a series of cruel experiments on a delicate girl, twisting her Soul entirely, finally igniting her body and Soul with raging Abyssal fire.

At that moment, Gaven suddenly understood why the Corpse Burning Flame Spirit was so persistent, liked occupying other creatures’ bodies.

Because that flame burned pain always followed them like shadows, even though they possessed Fire Immunity; this Soul memory was engraved within them.

Only by occupying other bodies could they temporarily transfer it.

Burning others was a painkiller.

He also understood why the Flame Queen hated the Corpse King so intensely.

This soul pain served as a constant reminder never to forget Hatred.
