The slightly illusory light blue body floated quietly in the air, looking at the gorgeous scene around him, Gray seemed to be here as an outsider.
He can't do anything except that his body can float around freely without restriction.
Whether it's the colorful fragments floating in it or the ball of light that makes people feel warm and comfortable, they are all his untouchable existence.
Whenever Gray wants to get close to the light ball or debris.
There will be a mysterious force that will bounce him or the fragments away.
This is an irresistible force.
No matter how he tried, everything was bound to be in vain.
But Gray was not without other discoveries.
He discovered that the space he was in had a very magical place.
No matter which direction you go, keep moving forward.
It's floating upward.
Still floating downward.
Or it floats sideways.
Eventually he will return to where the giant light ball is.
After trying dozens of times, Gray gave up on this waste of energy.
Even though he cared about his wife and daughter, he was helpless.
Gray, who had no way to leave, could only float in this gorgeous scene.
Time seems to have lost its concept here.
Gray didn't know how long he had stayed here.
one day?
Ten days?
Or a month?
If it weren't for the colorful fragments around him that were constantly changing positions, Gray estimated that he would have been driven crazy by such an environment.
But he vaguely remembered one thing.
I don’t know when time will start.
The huge light ball that has been surrounded by debris, or this mysterious space, seems to have undergone some changes.
Although Gray doesn't know exactly what changed.
But he could clearly feel the changes that had taken place in those colorful fragments.
Originally, those colorful fragments were like carefree little fish swimming freely in the stream.
But from the moment of change.
These "fish" have become a little different.
They always want to get into that huge ball of light.
It's just that the results don't seem ideal.
The huge ball of light also resisted the entry of fragments, and all the colorful fragments that tried to get close to it were bounced away.
that's all.
Time passed as Gray watched the pieces that kept trying to enter but were constantly being bounced away... Ten hours.
"Wow~ It's really comfortable!"
Zoro, whose mental energy was once again full, let out a comfortable groan.
But when he opened his eyes and saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but froze for a moment, and then he cursed.
"Damn it, why am I here?"
Inside the huge light ball, the originally filled smoke began to rapidly shrink and close, and a naked human body slowly appeared in it.
Unlike Gray's illusory body, Sauron's body looks extremely solid.
A thought came into my mind.
The surface of Chi Guo's body was magically covered with a piece of clothing.
Being inside the ball of light, he could easily see everything outside.
certainly.
Even without looking at Zoro, he can clearly understand everything in this space.
As the master, he has the ability to absolutely control this space, which of course also includes Gray mixed in the colorful fragments.
"Hey! Isn't he dead? Why is he here?"
After being shocked that the tree nest took the initiative to pull himself back into his body after sleeping, Zoro easily discovered the strangeness hidden in this space.
A thought in my mind.
A streak of colorful light disappeared into Sauron's body without leaving a trace.
The reason why Gray appeared here suddenly appeared in Sauron's consciousness.
It turns out that everything was an instinctive reaction from the tree nest.
Just early yesterday morning.
The tree nest, which has grown significantly, has captured a wave of "ownerless" souls within the scope of its own control.
Unable to actively contact Sauron, whose spirit was active, the tree nest made the most instinctive choice.
capture!
It was very easy to capture this soul that would completely dissipate if left unchecked.
Seeing this, Sauron's face couldn't help but reveal a strange expression.
What is this?
Inviting people to your home?
From this Sauron also saw some problems about the relationship between body and soul.
In his opinion.
The relationship between body and soul seems a bit like the relationship between a house and its residents.
When a living being is first formed in the mother's womb, it means that the soul conceived in it has obtained the real estate certificate belonging to this physical body.
What's a little special is that most of the creatures in this house cannot be replaced in their lifetime.
in their lifetime.
Houses may collapse due to various accidents.
Although the souls who live in it all year round and cannot go out can temporarily go out due to the collapse of the house, they will eventually dissipate in the wind and rain.
This also includes intelligent humans.
Of course, this does not include Sauron, a freak who owns two properties.
A luxurious ancestral home covering a vast area in the countryside.
An office villa located in a bustling city.
No matter which one is lost, there is another one that can provide shelter from wind and rain, but the value of the ancestral house is obviously higher than that of the office villa.
But those ordinary creatures who are different from Sauron are not so lucky.
A resident who has lost his house is a bit like a servant who has lost his master.
Without the military protection provided by the master, the thin servant will eventually perish due to the arrival of danger or attract other powerful enemies.
obviously.
The reason why Gray's soul can appear in Sauron's ancestral home should be due to the latter's coveting of the other party's existence.
Simply put it is.
The house is too big!
There are many things!
The master doesn’t care!
Servants needed!
A very simple and pure motive.
After clarifying the thoughts in his mind, Sauron no longer hesitated.
A thought in my mind.
His figure slowly disappeared into the ball of light.
And in the colorful sea in the distance, the expression on the face of the pale blue illusory figure is far from being described by the word surprise.
Looking at Zoro who suddenly appeared in front of him, Gray was shocked like never before.
Naturally, he knew Gray, the lord he was loyal to.
"Baron...Baron!"
"Why are you here too?"
"Gray, did you know? You are already...dead..."
When the word "dead" came out of Zoro's mouth, Gray's expression was completely stunned.
The scene of death at the last moment of his life flooded into his consciousness like a tide at this moment.
After Sauron's suggestions and some mysterious operations behind the scenes, the scene that Gray had originally forgotten resurfaced.
"Yes! I'm already dead."
After learning the truth, Gray felt unprecedentedly disappointed, and his whole person became depressed.
Dots of blue fluorescence floated out uncontrollably from Gray's eyes and dissipated into Sauron's soul space.
The already illusory figure became a bit more transparent under this change.
