["And a part of them, like Sofia, possesses self-awareness, and can act independently. They now have formidable strength and are no longer under my control."]

The Heroic Spirits with weaker abilities couldn't resist the passage of time, so they could only power down automatically and enter a state of dormancy.

Yet those Heroic Spirits who are powerful can self-recharge, gradually breaking away from the concept of Heroic Spirits.

Herbert had some speculation about this situation, and frowned: "So, you're saying we need to fight them?"

Is this implying I need to catch Pocket Monsters?

Win the fight, and drag them back?

What a primitive old tradition.

See a captivating person, knock them out, and drag them home...

["Yes, and no."]

Nenasha laughed softly, speaking with a tinge of melancholy:

["There are two options before you now."]

["The first option is to delve deep into the mist, arrive at the territory of the Heroic Spirits, and engage them in battle. After successfully defeating them, extract their Soul Core and soak it in the Wine of Oblivion."]

["Only when their will completely dissipates, becoming like Sofia now, can they be used by you."]

Herbert nodded.

Sure enough, it's like Pocket Monsters.

And it's the kind from the Evil Fall System!

First conquer with violence, then use mental hypnosis and reset their personality... it's really too dark!

However, even thinking it through with knee jerk reaction, he knows such a method is quite challenging.

Herbert doesn't know the current strength of these Heroic Spirits, but judging by Sofia who occupies the outer territory, the other Heroic Spirits are at least at a Legendary Level.

Rashly entering the territory unknown for how many ages worked on by Heroic Spirits, would entirely hand the geographical advantage to the opponent.

Yet Herbert wasn't in a hurry.

Since Nenasha mysteriously offers two options, there must be a better alternative.

"So, what's the other option?"

["The other option is much more convenient."]

Suddenly, Nenasha's voice turned ethereal, whispering softly in his ear: ["Herbert, have you heard of the Heroic Spirit Pool?"]

"Heroic Spirit Pool?"

Although Herbert was clear that the Heroic Spirit Pool mentioned by the other might not be the same as what he owed in his mind, he still couldn't help but ask:

"What do you mean, is there a current limited-time event? How many draws for a guaranteed reward?"

Nenasha:?

["What limited-time event? What is a guaranteed reward? What are you even talking about?"]

"Never mind, keep going."

Herbert shook his head expressionlessly and continued: "What does the Heroic Spirit Pool do?"

["You're such an odd fellow…"]

Harmonious God once again expressed awe, and continued: ["The Heroic Spirit Pool was the place of birth for Heroic Spirits upon entering the Divine Kingdom, and it's also the ultimate destination for all Heroic Spirits."]

Once led by the angels of the Divine Spirit, the souls of the believers entered the Divine Valley, where they first originated from, which was the Heroic Spirit Pool.

They would get their Soul Core there, and wash away their mortal memories, ultimately obtaining a new life to enter the Divine Kingdom and become a part of it.

And when they finally dissipate, they would return once again to the Heroic Spirit Pool, immersing themselves within.

Everything returns to the Heroic Spirit Pool, once more merging into the Divine Kingdom.

It's like a cycle.

["When the Divine Kingdom still existed, no one except for the Divine Spirits could alter the location of the Heroic Spirit Pool, but the current situation is different... heh."]

!!!

Herbert was taken aback.

He had thought of many scenarios, but had not anticipated something like this.

"Wait a moment! Are you saying…"

["Heh, you're guessing correctly, we can completely establish a new Heroic Spirit Pool."]

With a joyous laugh, Nenasha proudly said:

["In any case, since this place remains a part of the Divine Kingdom and we're residing in the Divine Kingdom, then why can't a new Heroic Spirit Pool be set up here?"]

After all, I am a Divine Spirit!

If I want to do something, is there anyone who can stop me?

By now, Herbert was already standing up, various thoughts flashing through his mind.

"So this means that once we establish the Heroic Spirit Pool, can we directly hatch new Heroic Spirits from it?"

"No, that's not right, as there are no new Heroic Spirits being born now. What we need is to find the scattered Soul Cores and grant them life anew."

["Exactly."]

"Hiss..."

Herbert understood immediately, now realizing what his next target was.

Collect Soul Cores in the Misty Mountains, then gather enough to merge them into a new Soul Core, and awaken them in the Heroic Spirit Pool.

Aren't we really pulling cards here!!?

["But that's not all!"]

After Herbert was stunned for a bit, Nenasha threw another curveball: ["You must note, I said that all Heroic Spirits will be under the control of the Heroic Spirit Pool."]

Herbert was startled for a moment, then thought of an even more extreme possibility: "That would include those self-awakened Heroic Spirits as well?"

["Of course, including them."]

["If it's inconvenient for you to fight them on their territory…then what if you shift them to a location you designate?"]

Gulp.

Herbert swallowed hard, considering a very unreasonable maneuver, he slowly spoke: "So you're saying we can directly force them to transfer over."

["Exactly~"]

Whoa.

Select the opposing Heroic Spirits, then forcibly fish them out of the pool.

Isn't this probability directional improvement!

It's like a single UP card pool!

However, even though there's still the step of knocking them out and brainwashing them, which is a bit imperfect, it's already quite outrageous.
