The Soul System in the Apocalypse-Chapter 538: Soul Restriction

Henry did not get the answers that he wanted about what was so unique about the next rank that enabled the creatures that he was fighting against to be so strong that he could not compete with them at all.

So, for the past few days, he had been trying to investigate as much as possible. But just as he was about to get the results, he suddenly felt like there was something that was staring directly at his soul.

No matter how much he tried, he felt like he was completely helpless in front of the entity that was looking at him. That was the reason why he had sweat all over.

At this moment, he took a deep breath, and realized that no matter what, he had to get stronger. But it was going to be impossible for him to be able to get any stronger than he currently was, considering the fact that there was a limitation to the power level that he could reach within this world.

That left him with only a single solution, and that was to break through the barrier that was surrounding this world in order to go to another world, so that he could find a method that he could utilize in order to get stronger.

He was not sure if he could actually get stronger by killing monsters after he left this world, but even then, there was no use for him to continue staying in this world at all. After all, he would be completely limited by the mastermind of the apocalypse in this world. That was something that he did not want to experience at all.

After taking a deep breath, he decided that the first thing that he would do was to make sure that the humans would be the dominant race within this world. And to do that, they would have to deal with the other races within this world. Since they were not supposed to be in this world, then he would make sure that they were completely eliminated.

As for the matter of trying to break through the barrier by himself, that was something that he did not even consider. According to the system, it seemed that the barrier was extremely steady, and if he attacked it, he was going to receive a counterattack from it. And with his current capabilities, he was definitely going to die if he received a counterattack from that barrier.

That was the reason why he was restraining himself from trying that out. The system was something that understood his capabilities quite well. Since the system had claimed that it was going to be impossible for him to survive if he was to be attacked by that barrier, he was definitely not going to survive if he did something reckless.

Left with no other choice, he could only deal with the matters as slow as possible, but at the same time, make preparations just in case anything untoward happened.

Since Henry had made the decision, immediately after stabilizing the situation within the country, he began in increasing the influence that he had over this continent. His current plan was to make sure that within the blazing continent, he eliminated all the other races, leaving only the human race behind.

Of course, had it been anybody else, it would have definitely been impossible for them to be able to do that. But for Henry, that was something that was quite easy to do. Not to mention about the fact that the current power level of his territory was extremely high, it was also due to the fact that his summoned creatures were extremely strong. freёwebnoѵel.com

Even though he was not required to personally take action in order to be able to subdue the other nations that were currently being dominated by the members of the other races, he decided to do so, just to make sure that everything was done as soon as possible.

Olivia and the others were quite surprised about the reason why Henry had decided to do something like this. But nevertheless, despite the fact that they possessed their own suspicions about the reason why Henry had decided to suddenly increase the influence of the Domination Star territory, they decided to take action nevertheless, subduing the members of the other races.

Subduing, yes. That was what they were doing. They would get rid of the divine rank experts of that particular race, before taking in the members of the other races as their own slaves. That was something that the members of the other races had been doing before, and that was just what Henry was doing in return.

Of course, none of the high ranking members of the other races were taken in as slaves just like that. Instead, each and every one of them was forced to sign a contract that bound them to the human race. And if they tried to do anything that was against the human race, they would immediately die.

The members of the other races who had already seen the supreme beings of their own race being killed had already lost their own spirits, and had decided not to even think about fighting for domination anymore.

It was impossible for them not to think about taking revenge, but even then, what could they do if even the strongest people in their own race could not handle the human race? Additionally, those that had signed the contract could not go against the human race no matter how they wanted.

As expected, it was definitely impossible for Henry to be able to make every member of the other race to sign the contract to bind them to the human race as slaves. But even then, those that did not want to sign the contract either killed themselves, or they were killed.

Henry was not afraid of losing many members of the other races. In any case, in this entire world, there were many races, and it was not impossible for him to be able to get so many races to work for the human race.

Henry had realized that although he could get things from the system store, that was definitely not the best solution in the long term. That was simply because he was planning to go away from this world. If he was not here, where would the humans get the resources that they would want to use?

That was the reason why he was taking the members of the other races as slaves, so that they would be in charge of looking for the resources that would be utilized by the humans in order for them to get stronger.

Currently, due to the fact that Henry and his entire faction had already gotten many divine rank experts, the level of the materials that could be found in this world had increased by a large margin. And for that reason, those materials could be utilized in order to build stronger walls, and improve the technological level of the territories through research.

That was the reason why Henry had decided to have all the resources that could be found to be brought over. So, each and every time that the members of the other races were subdued, they would be immediately asked to do that job. And since the majority of them were extremely strong, it was not that difficult for them to be able to get the resources.

Of course, Henry had thought about purchasing something from the system store that could enable him to be able to break apart the binds that prevented him from reaching the next rank, but there was only a simple response from the system.

[The host is currently incapable of reaching the next rank no matter what he does or what item he utilizes. That is simply because there is a restriction on the host’s soul, something that prevents him from advancing further.]

That was something that had been troubling Henry for quite a while. He was not sure about what kind of restriction was placed on his soul, and to what it was related to, but nevertheless, he had to take care of it at some point in time.

Of course, he had thought about the entity that had stared directly at him. The one that had given him extreme despair, and a feeling of being looked upon by a supreme being, while himself being an ant. But he thought that perhaps it was also possible that the reason why there was a restriction on his soul, preventing him from advancing any further was simply because of the fact that the apocalypse was limiting him.

The only problem was the fact that the system had claimed that no matter what item he utilized from the system at the moment, he would definitely not be able to break through the restriction.

But, did that imply that if he actually managed to access high level items from within the system store, they would be able to enable him to break through the restriction and reach a higher power ranking?

Of course, that was a possibility, but the system never gave him a response on whether that was possible or not. In any case, it seemed that it was definitely going to be impossible for him to be able to access those items for the time being, considering that the currency that he possessed at the moment was level 9 divine rank mutation crystals. But that was not enough to be able to get the items that could break through the restriction.

Leaving all of that aside, Henry simply focused on conquering the entire blazing continent. And that was something that seemed to take a little more time, and from the looks of it, it was going to take an entire week for him to be able to conquer the blazing continent. But that was not that bad, as according to his plans, he wanted to complete everything within a month or two.
