155 The Soul Empress Arrives
A pink-coloured spaceship moved with speed appearing at the entrance of the EIA base before slowly descending towards the port.
The rumbling engine slowly quieted down and the door of the spaceship opened, sending out pure white gas into the air.
Emerging from the spaceship was a young lady, around twenty-three years old, standing at a height of 1.85 meters tall.
The most catching thing about her was the color, the color of her long pink hair that reached down to her waist and her pink pupil, letting out an illusion of pink stars shining within.
“Welcome back to the EIA training base, Soul Empress…” A voice rang out, as the space before her suddenly shifted and turned, and from within a figure emerged, clad in an EIA uniform, showing him to be an official.
“I was told there was an emergency,” Antarra said, the haste in her voice clear for all to see.
“Yes, soul Empress, if I may show you the way…” The EIA official said as the space behind him morphed, causing a blue-colored door to appear behind him.
Antarra slowly walked towards the door as her hand clenched open the knob, her figure quickly disappearing within followed by the EIA official who respectfully followed behind her.
But why was an EIA official so respectful towards another person just like him?
It was because of her reputation. The Soul Empress was an unbelievable genius in the EIA, having quickly been promoted through the entire EIA rankings and now even at the Major Ranking at an age below 25, making her the youngest person to ever arrive at such a position since the beginning of the EIA.

The room was completely quiet, the only sound being that of the beeping monitor, gently echoing throughout the small room.
A large tank was present in the middle of his room, made completely of white glass, with huge pipes linked from below it to another glass tank filled with strange blue liquid at its side.
In this tank, the figure of a person could be seen, humanoid in shape, with strange tattoos covering their entire figure.
If Zeras had been here, he would have immediately recognized it to be Mumba Zumba.
In front of the large tank, two scientists could be seen, clad in a very strange suit that encompassed their entire figure.
“Thankfully, the last remnant of his soul has been successfully stopped from blowing outside to the world…” One of the scientists said, the happiness and tiredness could be felt.
“That’s true. It’s already a miracle, that small wisp of his left can still fully power his entire body. But if he doesn’t get attention immediately, I’m afraid even that last wisp will fade away, causing him eventual death…” The other scientist replied.
“I heard the higher-ups already summoned the soul empress, she’ll be here in any minute. Then she would be able to fix him back to normal…”
The air around the place suddenly shifted course Fri a minute as both scientists quickly turned behind them where a door was slowly materializing.
The door fully formed, and a figure soon emerged completely from it…
“We pay respect to the Soul Empress…” The two scientists said, with their heads bowed down to her.
Antarra paid no attention to the two scientists, instead her pink eyes were staring directly at the large tank where Zumba’s figure could be seen.
“Get him out immediately, his soul has been greatly damaged. A minute more and it will completely fade away…”
The two scientists were numbed by the information as according to the Machine, it said his last wisp had been completely secured.
Nonetheless, they immediately obliged. After all, the figure before them was called the Soul Empress.
The machine was deactivated, and Zumba’s body was brought out of the tank and placed on a bed.
“Guard us and prevent any distraction, no matter how important, at all cost…” Antara said to the EIA official who brought her here as she focused on Zumba Mumba, her eyes knit in confusion.
‘No one should be able to cause such a great amount of damage to a soul. Especially not in a school competition…’ Antarra thought before she took a deep breath and prepared to check what happened by herself.
She moved behind Zumba, arriving at the back of his head before her hand clasped his head together at the sides.
Pink energy flared from her hands into the head of Zumba as her eyes closed in concentration before suddenly she remained completely still as if no longer present in the room.
“Soul Reversal Art, Time Of Antarra…”
The world seemed to go completely still once those words were said and Antarra felt herself being pulled towards a place, a normal pull she had experienced too many times.
The pool stopped, and she looked at where she was, a completely dark space, the entrance of a Soul Space.
But she wasn’t alone, in front of her was Zumba who had a nefarious smile on his face as he looked at the golden door in the distance before slowly walking towards it, the sinister smile on his face.
“Tch, idiot, with one look I can tell this Soul space is strange. There are strange cosmic particles in the air and the space is darker than usual…” Antarra muttered to herself but she also quickly followed after Zumba’s figure and entered with him into the golden door.
As she watched Zumba focus all his attention locking the door, she watched as he finished and turned to the place before suddenly he stood rooted in place.
“GASP…”
A shocking gasp escaped Antara’s lips as she looked in front of her, the dark and blood-red steps, the abyssal-looking throne at the top, but most shocking of all was the figure seated on the throne.
An inhumane devil with extra-long abyssal claws. Strange dark scales covered his hands and some part of his space while his left eyes were an endlessly rotating black hole of nothingness.
“You raise your head a little too high don’t you think…”
Antarra witnessed the entire exchange between Zeras and Mumba and was shocked and speechless looking at the gigantic palm that was formed mid-air and slowly crushing Zumba and even witnessed Zeras purposeful only leaving the remaining wisp of Zumba’s soul for the sake of not Killing a student.
The entire place stopped after Zumba got reduced to a wisp the only thing left moving was now her.
“This is serious. Just what is this boy, to possess so much power and absolute control of his Soul space at such a young age? Most important was the amount of demonic intent he was oozing and his incredibly pure demonic bloodline. This is among the top ten purest demonic bloodlines I have ever witnessed…” Antarra said looking at Zera’s demonic form.
“Well, I’ll ask all my questions once I’m done with this shit. Perhaps, get him to owe her a favor…”
“Soul Reversal Art, Wiping Cloth of Antarra…” Antarra used her second genetic ability wanting to completely wipe out the memory of this place from Zumba’s Soul but was shocked by what happened in the next second as her face turned pale.
