Chapter 1022: The Earth and Sky Open Up In an Instant (Middle)_1

"When I first grasped the truth about magic, a thought kept haunting my mind, if it was a loan, could it not be repaid?"

"Even after coming into contact with magic, I maintained no reverence for the so-called gods and devils, I knew, they make deals with the human race precisely because they are weak and cowardly."

"If they were as powerful as they seem, why don't they barge straight into the human world and swallow up all humans? They don't because there's only one reason, they dare not."

"Since they, like us, must abide by certain rules to survive in this world, then these rules will become my weapon."

"I spent decades comprehensively investigating and researching, then created a crazy plan. This will be the only way for me to save this country."

"The fact that you are able to be here listening to my story, is because you've activated a piece of minor magic on the badge. It shows that you have already discovered the immense force deep within your soul."

"This tremendous force which can influence reality, is my achievement. You can consider this to be what I've borrowed from countless powerful entities."

"Saying borrowed isn't quite accurate either, because I've never intended to return it. The power I obtain belongs to me, no one can make me pay the price."

"I considered borrowing from one to repay the other, but that wouldn't allow me to accumulate enough energy. I must, within a short period of time, borrow from all potent entities, and default on the loan before they can react."

Shiller's speech started to quicken, Shiller unveiled an extremely mystical and astonishing adventure in his words.

"My talent for magic is strong, thus, there are quite a few powerful entities willing to lend their powers to me, but this is far from sufficient."

"In all the pacts I've signed, they are all obliged to keep my secrets, although this comes at a greater cost, I don't care."

"They think they've profited, therefore, they wouldn't disclose my short-term borrowing of enormous power to their own kind."

"In short, I concealed my borrowing history and fabricated my own credit history. I borrowed a colossal amount that can shake reality from thousands of banks."

"These so-called mysterious entities, clearly don't understand much about human finance. They firmly believe I wouldn't dare to default, therefore, they were unhindered when lending."

"Very soon, they paid the price for their arrogance, because I died, and you came."

"They wished to collect their debt, assuming they could capture my soul. I know they can find me no matter where I flee to in this world."

"So, I directly used the enormous energy borrowed from them, using my own soul as a fuse, igniting, detonating, and opening the passage."

"And thus, you came here."

"During the opening of the passage, my soul has been completely incinerated. At the same time, all the debts attached to my soul vanished without a trace. You, a fresh soul from a foreign world, aren't recorded in their debt history."

"The enormous energy you now possess, having mingled with too many differing forces, these forces collide, cut, shatter and regroup, shedding their original appearance completely. All creditors are unable to trace their power, meaning, no one can reclaim their money."

A deep malevolence resonates in Shiller's tone:

"I will make these self-proclaimed noble gods understand. In space, there are neither gods nor immortals. If they dare to lend their power to humans, they need to prepare for unbelievers to butcher them as pigs."

"The only loophole in the rules followed by these hypocritical deities is that these selfish monsters would never consider the possibility of someone willing to completely destroy their soul to realize a grander vision."

As he finished speaking, Shiller saw a soul, Shiller's original soul, burning in a whirlpool of colossal energy.

While he was destroying his soul, it's not as if no powerful entities noticed and reached out towards him.

Just like how demons always want to keep Constantine alive, those mysterious entities also wanted to keep the original Shiller alive to repay the debts.

But the gunshot of 1991 had determined that he would never give up."

"Moreover, I was born in an era earlier than you imagine. At the age of 33, I became the director of the Eleventh Bureau. However, soon, I found out that probably due to my rebirth's anomaly, I'm not aging. This would impede my survival in normal society, hence, I decided to leave the Eleventh Bureau."

"Before my departure, I used magic to place a medal I had once received, that is the Red Flag Medal that you are holding now, into a special file."

"I told my comrades in the Eleventh Bureau that if one day this medal returned to Moscow, they should follow my instructions, attach this message to the medal, bring it to find me and explain everything to the me with a replaced soul, that is, you."

"If you could follow various clues and find this file, it would prove that you were competent."
