As Qian Renxue stretched her muscles, faint golden ripples pulsed through the air. Her movement, simple and casual, was suddenly mirrored behind her.
The twelve-winged Angel Martial Soul, still summoned, raised its arms and rolled its shoulders in perfect synchronization with her.
Qian Renxue's eyes immediately narrowed.Her instincts sharpened; her expression turned analytical as she observed the entity behind her.
The blurred figure of the Angel was no longer the vague, radiant silhouette it used to be. Now, except for its face—still obscured by divine light—the rest of its form was visible with exquisite clarity.
It possessed the slender, graceful body of a woman, clothed in an elegant combination of holy garments and intricate golden armor. Twelve immaculate wings, each feather exuding faint threads of sacred flame, spread widely behind her.
With a slight wave of her hand, she dispersed her martial soul. The angel's figure dissolved into motes of gold and faded into her back, leaving the chamber silent once again.
She muttered softly, half to herself, half to the presence she felt within:
"So… it is the soul core of Light and Fire. Angel was considered the goddess of both light and flame. The faith energy really became a proper cornerstone of a strong soul core "
Her focus shifted inward. Hovering above her dantian, a radiant sphere pulsed rhythmically. The soul core, brilliant and pure, was woven not from ordinary soul power, but faith energy.
Qian Renxue could feel its nature, its structure, its density.Her eyes flickered with golden light as she whispered her own evaluation:
"At least eighty percent of my soul power has been converted… no, refined into faith energy."
Then she smiled faintly.Faith energy—denser, purer, and more potent than ordinary soul energy.
(Author's Note: In this hierarchy—Soul Energy < Faith Energy < Divine Energy, also called Immortal Energy, which exists only in the Divine Realm.)
But that wasn't all.
As Qian Renxue delved deeper into her senses, she suddenly froze. Her expression flickered with surprise.
"Another… Spirit Sea?"
Yes. Beyond her original one—a vast ocean of consciousness—another domain had appeared. A second Spirit Sea, shimmering faintly.
Qian Renxue's pupils glowed. She summoned her martial soul again to feel the abilities provided by the sixth soul ring, and instantly, she understood.
---
Sixth Soul Ring:
Fate's Gaze (Incomplete)
Can mark a person. Once marked, every significant change in the target's fate is reflected to the user through invisible lines of destiny.
Charm (Passive Skill)
Those without strong mental resistance are subconsciously drawn to her presence. Her words echo in their hearts like divine command, making obedience seem natural.
----
Qian Renxue stared blankly for a few moments before exhaling lightly.
"Huh… incomplete?" she murmured, her tone both curious and amused."This is the first time a soul skill feels… unfinished."
She tapped her chin, thoughtful.
"And this 'Charm'... tch. Useless. I don't need such a crude way to manipulate others."
Her disdain was evident.
Then suddenly, her indifferent face curved into a smile—slow, deliberate, and unnervingly serene.
"Manipulator…" she whispered. "Sequence 4."
And as the chamber brightened with silent radiance, her words echoed with calm certainty—a declaration not of arrogance, but of awareness.
"I… am a Demi-God."

Sequence 4 : Manipulator
New Abilities
Manipulation: She can now pass through the Spirit Sea and enter another person's Mind allowing them to directly change the target's subconscious and read their thoughts, silently Manipulating them to do all sorts of things.
She can bury psychological hints deep inside the target's Mind. From there onwards, her victims will orderly and accurately attempt to carry the hint out.
She can manipulate groups of people like this, as if it were a mass mind control.
Even after recovering, most victims will not realize they were manipulated.
Mental Plague: She can secretly implant seeds of Mental Plague in the target's Mind, which would quietly infect the Spirit Sea of the surrounding people, forming an environment of "contagious mental diseases" without anyone within the area noticing.
This causes countless mental illnesses and extreme madness. Moreover, the madness and mental illnesses from a Mental Plague can also be transmitted through Spirit .
Since Mental Plagues originate within oneself, it cannot be removed even by divine blessings. At best, the Mental Plague will be weakened, and their onset will be delayed.
This belongs to the erosion and infection of the Mind, it's not a direct attack, and it's difficult to offset .
Virtual Persona: She can create up to 13 Virtual Personas (at the start) that have a corresponding Mind. In this way, she can defend from a lot of influence in the Mind Domain and invade another person's Mind without any signs.
Mind Storm: She can transform their designated thoughts into a Mind Storm and sweep the surroundings, which would affect the Spirit Sea of all the surrounding persons, causing all sorts of negative effects to those within its range.
It can cause all the surrounding creatures to hear thousands of voices whose words contained corrupting knowledge.
This Mind Storm will hit the enemy's Mind continuously.
Strengthened Abilities
Mind Deprivation: A qualitative change in Awe causes it to become Mind Deprivation. When activated, all creatures within its range will inevitably experience all sorts of abnormal conditions.
Among such abnormal conditions include the following:
Varying degrees of losing control as their knees would buckle as they slumped to the ground.
Showing their fervent expressions and crowding around the Manipulator like attendants.
Standing rooted to the ground in a daze or attempting to blindly escape the area.
Some victims would even faint immediately and fall into a coma.
Psychological Invisibility: Now Its potency has been enhanced, allowing her to evade the perception of most Demigods, so long as she don't directly come into their field of view.
Mind Dragon Breath: This power that stems from her Mythical Creature Form as a Mind Dragons and is the upgraded version of Frenzy.
It is an attack that can directly stimulate and harm the target's Mind It deals damage in an area-of-effect manner.
Consciousness Stroll: As a Manipulator's Dream Traversal ability has evolved when it comes to its scope, becoming Consciousness Stroll.
It allows her consciousness and their Spirit Body to easily swim and wander in the anyone's Spirit Sea; however, she cannot bring their physical body into it.
She still has to use Dreams to traverse around areas.
Physical Enhancement: As Demigods, her physical attributes were strengthened greatly.
She possess extraordinary strength and exaggerated dragon scale defenses, enough break through a block of steel with one punch and run faster than a steam train.
Hypnosis: Her Combat Hypnosis ability have been enhanced.
Battle Hypnotism: Her Combat Hypnosis allows her to interfere with the thoughts passed through Spirit. It is closer to the interference of will than the Hypnosis of the mind.
Mythical Creature Form
As Sequence 4 Demigods she has received some level of Godhood, and with it comes an incomplete Mythical Creature Form. Disregarding all consequences, she can release her incomplete Mythical Creature Form to become an incomplete Mind Dragon.
Her incomplete Mythical Creature Form should be a Mind Dragon that has yet to fully evolve. her head remains in the form of a human and their back is covered in gray-skinned wings. The limbs and thick and the grayish-white Dragon Scales they possess will be engraved with complicated three-dimensional, mysterious symbols that extends into the flesh and out to the void. It appears that these symbols are a mesh of objects that didn't belong to the real world.
Anyone who lay their eyes upon her in incomplete Mythical Creature Form would suffer a form of mental confusion as their thoughts warped. Even one's Spirit and Soul would be tainted with all kinds of thoughts that came from deep within one's heart, eager to rip apart themselves.
As a newly advanced Manipulator she will be able to manifest and maintain full control over her incomplete Mythical Creature Form for about 1 minute before she suffers any negative effects
