My Ability Is Role-playing-Chapter 404 - 397: Emotional Tribulation Binding! Earth Ark Crew +1!
Since there was no other choice, Eldest Prince Li Tang wasn’t pretentious and handed over a worthy pledge without hesitation.
He summoned something resembling a pyramid from the interstellar battleship and cast Seventh Princess Eve’s soul into it.
The technologically advanced device began to operate, slowly wearing down and crushing Seventh Princess Eve’s soul, until it turned into nothingness, dissipating into the universe.
A thick aura of resentment and hatred emanated from the remnants of the Seventh Princess’s shattered soul.
Yet to all of this, neither Eldest Prince Li Tang nor Third Prince Adam paid any heed.
Since it wasn’t their own lives at stake, they didn’t care.
Seeing the Seventh Princess’s soul gradually erode away, a slight smile appeared on Ma Ran’s lips.
Although the more than fifty thousand people Seventh Princess Eve killed in the City of Angels weren’t Chinese, they were still lives from Earth.
Some deeds, once done, demand a price to be paid.
It was a matter of attitude, taking a stand.
In the future, anyone wishing to strike against Earth must first ask if Ma Ran allows it.
Li Tang, who personally destroyed his seventh sister’s chance of resurrection, wiped the sweat from his forehead yet dared not look directly at Ma Ran.
Unknowingly, he noticed the distance between himself and Jin Yina, always a mere ornament, seemed less than a meter.
"You’re too close."
Firmly believing in the existence of another timeline, Third Prince Adam found this world’s Jin Yina didn’t quite match his expectations, yet he was still slightly jealous upon witnessing this, prompting him to speak up.
Eldest Prince Li Tang was normally rational, but now, though he didn’t know why, Adam’s words caused his blood to surge with slight anger, his expression unchanged, yet his words were laced with sarcasm: "Oh? What business is it of yours if I’m talking with Ms. Jin Yina?"
Between the two princes, Jin Yina showcased her talent for manipulation masterfully, provoking their tensions skillfully, embodying a pitiful demeanor that escalated the conflict.
The clash between Adam and Li Tang, seemingly over jealousy, was in reality something else entirely.
Not far away, Ma Ran and Su Qiangwei exchanged a look.
Everything was understood without words.
The combination of "Enchantment" and "Emotion Manipulation" was perfect, easily yielding results greater than the sum of its parts!
Su Qiangwei utilized her Pandora ability, retrieving a bag of beef jerky from her fingernail, ready to enjoy the show.
What did "your ability doesn’t work on me" even mean?
Despite Li Tang’s previous display of superiority and rationality, as if confident and prepared, he couldn’t resist "Emotion Manipulation" once Ma Ran dismantled his defenses.
Ridiculous superpowers, you think just by understanding them, they can be easily countered?
How laughable!
The "Emotion Manipulation" capability of an S-level, placed on the Romantic Goddess Shana, was like casting pearls before swine.
Even though Su Qiangwei hadn’t wielded this power long, she sensed it had enormous potential beyond simply romance and charming people.
Shana, the traitorous Romantic Goddess, Ma Ran was right to have killed her!
The most crucial point is...
Su Qiangwei discovered a highly compatible synergy between "Emotion Manipulation" and the "Enchantment" ability Ma Ran learned from Zhang Kuang, which, when combined, could indeed produce results greater than simply adding them together.
Turning foes into friends?
That’s basic training!
Su Qiangwei’s "Emotion Manipulation," combined with Ma Ran’s "Enchantment," could prompt the seemingly idle Ms. Jin Yina to activate her "Emotional Tribulation" ability and recruit a powerful "Alien Mercenary Force"!
Could an enemy truly demand the use of such unscientific superpowers to be ceased at their whim?
Where would the dignity of the Martial God be?
Master Qiangwei insisted on using them!
The truth was, Ma Ran truly was Su Qiangwei’s most understanding ally.
The invisible bond between them allowed them to execute a perfect collaboration without any spoken or visual communication!
In their dispute, Eldest Prince Li Tang seized Jin Yina’s hand, seemingly in retaliation.
At the next moment, "Emotional Tribulation" activated!
Until now, S-level ability user Jin Yina had only played the role of "audience" since her introduction, without any impact.
But now, everything changed in an instant!
Eldest Prince Li Tang’s strength, realm, aces, talents, and knowledge base...
Everything was shared with Jin Yina!
Instantly, Jin Yina’s aura soared, swiftly reaching the Surface Level, completing a dazzling transformation.
In stark contrast was Eldest Prince Li Tang of Chuanke.
His vigor waned, and his power fell to the same level as Third Prince Adam.
Realizing the changes happening to him, Li Tang was stunned for quite a while before finally swallowing the word "despicable" with some difficulty.
After becoming bound by "Emotional Tribulation," Li Tang’s mind filled with intel and material related to this power.
The "Emotional Tribulation" ability can only activate once in a lifetime, binding one individual, unconditionally sharing all abilities, talents, and knowledge regardless of distance, and updating in real-time.
If one of the binders perishes, the survivor suffers a backlash, leading directly to death.
The superpower erosion manifests as a "relationship-obsessed" mindset, viewing love as the ultimate "meaning of life."
After his power fell below the Surface Level, Li Tang snapped to clarity.
His gaze at Jin Yina no longer held fascination, replaced with disdain and contempt.
Yet, he had no reason to lash out.
The reason was simple—if Earth’s powerful forces desired, they could kill him outright.
They willingly tied him to Jin Yina out of interest, akin to signing a contract or an agreement to ensure his commitment to their cause, nothing more.
Yes, in Li Tang’s eyes, Jin Yina was like a "Soul Contract Scroll," a tool unworthy of independent personhood.
How did he ever see such a person as "charming"?
Did he suddenly become foolish?
No!
It was the Martial God’s doing!
Despicable!
No matter what happens, Li Tang refused to be miserable like Seventh Princess Eve, perishing on Earth with his Divine Soul erased.
As they say on Earth—"As long as I’m useless, no one can use me."
They did this because they deemed him valuable.
At least he wasn’t a completely useless "waste."
Understanding this, Eldest Prince Li Tang felt somewhat better.
A decline in power was no big deal.
Despite being bound by "Emotional Tribulation," his soul talent remained intact.
Returning to the Chuanke Star System and indulging in resource and energy infusions, he could rapidly reach the Vacuum Level, without wasting centuries like other low and mid-level civilizations, slowly cultivating back his strength.
Thus, through the tacit cooperation of the Martial God and Prophet, Eldest Prince Li Tang of Chuanke was directly bound by Jin Yina and forcibly pulled onto Earth’s warship.
This meant that the colonial plans of the Chuanke Civilization, powerful enough to easily destroy Earth Civilization, had been punctured with a massive gap.
Li Tang, mask-like face, reluctantly admitted his defeat: "You... win."
His gaze swept over Ma Ran and Su Qiangwei, finally landing on Adam: "This guy’s pledge isn’t worth as much as mine."
"How do you intend to handle him?"
For Eldest Prince Li Tang, the best outcome would be Adam’s immediate execution, erasing his Divine Soul.
Such a contrast would ease his stance significantly.
After all, being bound by "Emotional Tribulation" wasn’t truly a slave contract without hope of salvation.
In the vast cosmos lies endless possibilities.
In other words... 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
In the sea of stars, no ability is unsolvable—at least that’s what Li Tang believed.
