Chapter 186

"The birth of evil spirits stems mainly from two aspects."

"First, it is unwillingness toward fate."

"Most evil spirits are born from being killed, all based on unwillingness toward their own death."

"Intense unwillingness becomes the negative energy that births evil spirits."

"Second, strong obsessions, hatred, jealousy, and love before death that cannot be forgotten."

"This also causes the birth of evil spirits."

He briefly explained the situations where most evil spirits are born.

"Of course, there is a third special situation."

"Extraordinary beings possessing extraordinary characteristics can become evil spirits with self-awareness through special means."

"However, this situation should not exist here."

Here, Fujiwara Chika suddenly raised her hand.

"Teacher Amamiya, why does it not exist here?"

"Because there should be only me, an extraordinary being, in this world."

Ren Amamiya immediately cut off any further questioning with that answer.

No other extraordinary beings exist in this world.

Since no other extraordinary beings exist, naturally there is no situation of an extraordinary being becoming an evil spirit.

"Therefore, the third case almost does not exist."

"Combining the above situations to explain, what I need to tell everyone is that evil spirits are not terrifying."

"Moreover, the power you have obtained can also deal with evil spirits."

Ren Amamiya paused briefly.

"Correction: the elemental power obtained by Sanzenin and Young Lady Maria can counter evil spirits."

"But the Ice-Ice Fruit obtained by Student Kaguya Sigong cannot yet achieve restrictions on evil spirits."

"However, Student Kaguya Sigong can incorporate more training into the abilities of the Ice-Ice Fruit."

"Evil spirits, put simply, are also a form of negative energy, and energy involves a certain kind of motion."

"So..."

"Absolute Zero."

Kaguya Sigong nodded, understanding.

Evil spirits also require negative energy to move, and since energy is a form of motion, there exists a situation where that motion can be stopped.

Therefore, Absolute Zero can achieve the effect of stopping energy motion.

"Student Amamiya, this should not be easy to achieve."

"Indeed, it is not easy."

Ren Amamiya confirmed this point.

Absolute Zero is absolutely the limit the Ice-Ice Fruit can reach.

According to his speculation, at least the negative energy of evil spirits can be frozen.

However, with the addition of mystery, besides the motion of the energy itself, the variable of status must also be added.

Therefore, below the level of Demi-God, Absolute Zero should be effective.

But if it is at the level of Demi-God or above, then the effect of Absolute Zero might not be that great.

However, no existence above Demi-God exists in this world.

Ren Amamiya was very certain of this point.

Including King Midas as a Heroic Spirit.

Therefore, when Kaguya Sigong can utilize the Ice-Ice Fruit to its utmost, at least facing existences below Demi-God will be no problem.

Of course, this also counts as the maximum upper limit of the Devil Fruit.

"The power of the Devil Fruit also includes one's own training and application."

"You cannot do it now, but there is at least the possibility of achieving it."

"This also counts as the direction for your future efforts, Student Kaguya Sigong."

After finishing the matter regarding Kaguya Sigong, Ren Amamiya turned to Mao Li Lan.

"The only one who is relatively troublesome is Student Mao Li."

"The power obtained is entirely physical in direction, plus Student Mao Li is also very unskilled with supernatural things."

When facing the supernatural, Mao Li Lan can be said to be all weaknesses.

Her power can almost not affect evil spirits, and combined with her own discomfort with the supernatural, one could say it is all problems.

Regarding this, Mao Li Lan herself knows how much of a weakness she has in this matter.

"I'm sorry..."

"You do not need to apologize, Student Mao Li."

Ren Amamiya did not have any blame regarding this.

"Everyone has their own weaknesses, and everyone has things they are not good at."

"Being afraid of evil spirits is not a problem either, because I was afraid before too."

"Even much more severely than you, Student Mao Li."

"Having problems is normal, but since it is a problem, it still needs to be faced."

This is the key.

Mao Li Lan being afraid of evil spirits is not the problem; the key lies in whether she is willing to overcome this problem.

With a simple deep breath, Mao Li Lan knew she could not carry this problem with her forever.

The number of times she would face evil spirits in the future might be many; if she remained unable to face them due to fear, she knew well that she herself would become a burden.

So, she needed to continue improving.

"I... will try my best."

Seeing a trace of pallor still on Mao Li Lan's face.

Ren Amamiya knew this should be a huge challenge for Mao Li Lan.

After all, everyone subconsciously keeps away from things they fear.

He did not expect Mao Li Lan to adapt to the existence of evil spirits in a short time, overcoming her greatest weakness.

However, having this mindset was indeed far better than complete avoidance.

"That is good enough."

Ren Amamiya offered a word of comfort.

"Mao Li Lan, you do not need to think about overcoming your fear of evil spirits in just a few attempts."

"Each of us present has our own weaknesses and problems."

.... 0

"We can strive together in the future to overcome our weaknesses."

"Things you fear will certainly bring fear, but trying to restrain that fear is what you need to do now."

"Mm."

The mission's rank had dropped, and Mao Li Lan's complexion looked slightly better.

She truly had no way to adapt to the issue of evil spirits within such a short time.

"And then there is the situation of the evil spirits on this island."

"Although their numbers are very large, as I mentioned just now, evil spirits do not possess self-rationality; their actions are driven entirely by instinct."

"And because the people who killed them are all on the island, from the moment they were born, their instinct confined their activity range to the entire island."

"But precisely because the confined range is too large, the impact evil spirits can have on humans is actually the smallest."

"Causing a nightmare, affecting one's mental state—that is their greatest function."

"So, this is a very good opportunity."

"Mao Li Lan, do you want to act together with me tomorrow?"

The evil spirits on this island have weak aggression; this is a good opportunity to come into contact with evil spirits.

Mao Li Lan hesitated for a moment, but then took a deep breath.

"Mm, tomorrow I will act together with Ren Amamiya."

It was just that after making the decision, Mao Li Lan became even more timid.
