Chapter 55 Perseverance in the Frozen Land
Returning to the present, fortunately, after nearly a year of adjustment, Greymon has been able to control this power that is contrary to his original nature.
The conflicting spirit rings didn't cause Agumon to evolve into SnowAgumon, or even Snowmanmon later on.
Apart from being slightly grayish-white in color, it was otherwise fine. Otherwise, my first soul skill would feel like it was useless.
The conflict caused by the age limit of the Soul Ring and the opposite attributes, apart from the initial uncontrollable rage of the Tyrannosaurus Beast, can be considered to have no side effects.
Xiao Yan even wondered if, had he not absorbed the ice and snow attribute soul ring, the Tyrannosaurus Beast's flame temperature, enhanced by his first soul skill, might have reached 3000℃.
Although the Snow Demon Ape granted him the defense and power of the Titan bloodline, the attribute bonuses from an ordinary Titan might have been higher.
But what can you do? They've practically stuffed the Ice Emperor's Claw into your mouth. You can't just not absorb that incompatible soul ring.
Thinking of this, he secretly glanced at Hyotei with a hint of resentment in his eyes.
But Hyotei caught him again in an instant. Fortunately, this time, Hyotei seemed too lazy to bother with Xiao Yan and slowly stretched.
"I'm in a bad mood today, let's finish this quickly."
"We're doomed." Hearing this, not to mention Xiao Yan, even if Sheriff Gordon were here, his heart would skip a beat.
What had I done to offend her this time? Or was this woman on her period? Seriously, do spirit beasts have relatives?
"I was having a nice chat with my friend when I sensed the commotion you caused, so I came over," Ice Empress said casually. In reality, it was her consciousness remaining in Xiao Yan's body that sensed the intense fluctuations in his soul power.
Worried that Xiao Yan might have offended some kind of spirit beast, she bid farewell to the Snow Emperor and rushed here.
"Alright, let's finish this quickly. I have other things to do after I'm done with you."
Xiao Yan slowly stood up and nodded helplessly to Agumon beside him.
"If you can hold out in my domain for ten seconds, I'll spare your lives, but you're forbidden from ever entering this far north again. If you can hold out in my domain for thirty seconds, I'll bestow upon you a great fortune." The Ice Emperor's emerald eyes stared at Xiao Yan.
Using only the domain? Xiao Yan was overjoyed. If the opponent didn't use their killing move, the coldness of the domain alone was nothing compared to the Tyrannosaurus Beast's flames. Even if the temperature inside the domain reached absolute zero, so what? The Tyrannosaurus Beast could spew out flames of 2000 degrees Celsius.
"However, I will not accept your cultivation. Whether you can survive depends on your abilities." As soon as he finished speaking, the Ice Emperor's domain, the Eternal Frozen Domain, quietly unfolded.
Under the illumination of the Digivice, Agumon evolved into Greymon once again, cradling Xiao Yan in its arms and exhaling an intense burst of flames towards the oncoming blizzard.
Despite this, Xiao Yan felt he had been overconfident. A domain isn't called a domain because it doesn't attack you unilaterally; rather, it's an overwhelming, chilling force. The pervasive cold wind even made Xiao Yan want to burrow into the Tyrannosaurus Beast's flames for warmth.
At first, he was seriously counting down the seconds in his mind, but after just three seconds, Xiao Yan started trembling uncontrollably.
"Greymon, this can't go on!"
Despite the fact that Greymon has ample ability to withstand the cold, he is still a human after all. Hyotei's test is clearly aimed at him.
"Oh, not bad, you've lasted for 4 seconds." Hyotei counted in her mind expressionlessly, but to Xiao Yan, it seemed as if that time had not passed at all.
"If this continues, I'll get hypothermia." Xiao Yan could feel himself getting sleepy, and he had to find a new way to deal with it.
"What a pity, they still fell in 9 seconds." In Hyotei's eyes, something unexpected happened to the man and the beast.
Seemingly due to the Soul Skill's resistance to the ice, the Greymon was exhausted and regressed into Agumon. The human and the beast had no other choice but to embrace each other and be frozen into ice blocks.
Hyotei looked somewhat regretful. She wasn't in a hurry to withdraw her domain, but instead turned her gaze to the other side.
"Why did you follow me, sister? Didn't I say I'd only be gone for a little while?" Hyotei felt a little uncomfortable that her little actions had been discovered by the only king of the far north.
A woman dressed in white appeared in Hyotei's domain at some point. Her white hair cascaded to the ground, and she was barefoot, staring blankly at the ice sculpture in the center of the domain.
Unlike Hyotei, whose body didn't feel somewhat ethereal, she clearly arrived here in her true form.
If Hyotei's eyes still held a hint of indifference, then Yuki-tei's were devoid of any emotion, as if she had long since severed all such feelings.
"You actually care so much about a human. We were having a nice chat, and then you just pulled your own spirit over here." Xue Di stated her judgment.
"What are you saying, sister? Don't you think this human child is special?"
"Special? I remember a hundred years ago a child trespassed into your territory, and the next day you returned the ice sculpture to the parents. You've never been a soft-hearted person."
"Of course I'm not the older sister. Some titled Douluo thought they could hunt down older sisters, but after the older sister defeated them, she still let them go."
"But they died at your hands before they even left the Northern Territory. This young man, you actually let him live for another year."
"As expected." Hyotei smiled. "In this Northern Territory, nothing escapes my sister's eyes."
The spirit beasts of the Northern Territory have always been united. How could the Ice Emperor let a human leave so easily if they dared to touch their spirit rings?
"We've lived for far too long, not just ten or a hundred years, but hundreds of thousands of years. In another ten thousand years, that damned heavenly tribulation will descend again. Do you have any confidence?"
Snow Empress's tone remained calm, but to Ice Empress, it sounded like she was being scolded for having the leisure to think about amusing humans.
"But this kid is the one who helped my sister kill that guy Atai's clan, even though he's just a brain-dead monkey who's only a little over two thousand years old. Who told that guy to try and pursue you before?" Hyotei muttered.
"What love and affection? In front of us, it's just a fleeting moment. Unless we become that kind of being, even if the heavenly tribulation doesn't fall, we may still die in the next second."
"And it wasn't because this human survived your killing move that you spared his life; stop making excuses."
"Has my sister already made up her mind?" Hyotei wondered what Yuki-tei was thinking when she heard Yuki-tei mention "existence," and she cleverly avoided Yuki-tei's question.
She herself didn't know why she let Xiao Yan, this human, go.
Perhaps they were too surprised that a Soul Master could survive.
Perhaps it was just too boring; for hundreds of thousands of years, there was only one expressionless Snow Emperor with whom one could have a heart-to-heart talk.
Perhaps, it's just because I'm too lonely.
"Since we didn't choose to take human form 100,000 years ago, haven't we only had one path left?" Snow Empress denied Ice Empress. "If you really care about that boy, you might as well express your feelings. Humans don't have long lifespans, but if you can really become a god, perhaps you can have a new way out."
"Sister, what are you saying?" Hyotei's face flushed slightly.
She was really only slightly interested in Xiao Yan. A level 30 Soul Master was actually able to withstand her icy killing move, even though she regarded him as an ant at the time and did not use her full strength.
But this human was indeed different from other humans; I was just a little curious about him.
I'm genuinely curious.
"Alright, I just heard you say that if this boy survives for thirty seconds, you'll give him a great opportunity. You mean...?"
"Don't even think about it, sister. How could a Soul Venerable possibly survive in my domain?"
Ice Empress's expression turned cold. In the few minutes she had been talking with Snow Empress, even if Xiao Yan hadn't died just now, he should be dead by now.
"But what if you didn't use your full strength?"
