317: law of cause and effect

As the two words "Strip Away" left Adolf's mouth, Tang Ku's expression froze on his face instantly, as if he had been immobilized by someone; his entire body could not move, and even his consciousness ceased to exist.

Adolf finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That was too dangerous. This person's power is far too strong. My final ability actually drained all of my energy just to barely control his Soul... But, at least it was a success!"

He watched as faint golden light continuously emerged from the top of the bald head before him, and a humanoid phantom was slowly crawling out from his crown, gradually taking shape... This was precisely the Soul he had extracted from Tang Ku's Physical Body.

"In my past life, I heard that the Buddha Dharma was boundless, but I had never witnessed it. Now, however, it seems it is nothing more than this. Apart from a strong Physical Body, there is nothing special about it. As long as you use your brain a little, you can easily subdue it!"

Adolf caught his breath and then said, "However, I need to find some other creatures to replenish my energy..."

Swish!

A golden figure appeared before him, hovering in front of Tang Ku's Physical Body. Its face and figure were identical to his, only now, it had its eyes tightly closed, as if sleeping.

Adolf smiled: "The Soul is also very strong, but its defense is a bit lacking... After I replenish my energy, I will completely control it and turn it into one of my trump cards..."

Saying this, he stopped paying attention to the floating Soul and looked around, searching for other creatures to serve as targets.

However, the moment his gaze left the golden Soul, it suddenly began to expand, and the golden light on its body continued to brighten, becoming even more dazzling.

Adolf froze entirely. In fact, from the moment this Soul began to mutate, he had sensed something was wrong. When he turned back, he already understood what had happened and exclaimed in shock: "How can this be... You... You weren't controlled?"

"Hehe, for a split second, I was indeed controlled by your ability, and my Soul and Physical Body were separated..."

The Soul's eyes suddenly snapped open. In an instant, it transformed into a golden Buddha, the legendary Guangdu Xin Buddha, standing alive right before him.

"However... you do not know just how strong a Buddha Disciple's Soul can be, nor do you know what kind of Soul a Buddha possesses, right?" The golden Buddha statue, standing sixteen feet tall, said to Adolf before it with a calm smile. "Therefore, the moment my Soul was controlled by you, I simply gave up resistance and let you extract my Soul... Hmm, in fact, the shock this Buddha statue can bring you is far greater than the strength of a Physical Body, isn't it?"

Adolf's mouth twitched. He really wanted to slap himself right now because the Buddha statue before him was simply not something he could contend with. In fact, he even felt that even those few Great Leaders might not be opponents for the person before him.

"I... I admit defeat!" Adolf smiled bitterly.

The golden Buddha statue laughed heartily: "Actually, your final ability is indeed very interesting, and if it were against ordinary practitioners or other people, it should have worked... Hmm, are you unconvinced? Then let me tell you, I have already figured out the essence of this ability of yours, haven't I?"

Adolf couldn't help but tremble, and then stuttered: "You... What did you say?"

The Buddha statue said with a smile: "Well, from the moment we made contact until now, you have asked me three questions... haven't you?"

After being stunned for a long while, Adolf finally revealed a bitter smile: "So you had already seen through it... That's right, the activation condition for this ability is exactly that..."

Adolf's ability to strip away others' Souls was his hidden final trump card. To activate this ability, one needed to ask the target three questions. These three questions could be on any topic, and as long as the opponent answered any one of these three questions, they would be hit by the technique. Of course, when casting this technique, the target could not be too far away; it was only effective within a range of at least ten meters.

In the villa, Adolf had asked Tang Ku two questions. They were: "'Who are you?' and 'What kind of person are you exactly?'"

Tang Ku did not answer these two questions directly. It was not until just now that Adolf asked the final question: "Their Great Leader once faced a monk from the Great Tang named Tang Sanzang; could it be you?"

Tang Ku answered this question, and he answered it very straightforwardly. Furthermore, Tang Ku was not far from Adolf at the time, almost within a range of two meters, so this easily fulfilled the conditions for casting the technique. Seeing that the time was right, Adolf quickly activated his ability and stripped away Tang Ku's Soul!

It was just that, besides the very harsh activation conditions, this ability itself consumed a huge amount of energy, especially when dealing with people with stronger Souls; the consumption was even greater. To deal with Tang Ku, he had almost instantly consumed all the remaining energy in his body.

This was the entire process of activating the ability; it was very strange, but also very simple.

Adolf had never thought that someone could see through all his abilities in such a short time, after having been in contact for so little time. No, to be precise, the other party had seen through him as a person.

Recalling what had just happened, he still felt as if he were in a dream. It took a long while for him to finally recover his consciousness, and when he came to his senses, he found himself already held in the hand of the giant Buddha statue.

"I must say, your final hidden trump card has already touched the edge of the Dao. It is a special ability similar to the Law of Karma; it is very Heaven-Defying and very powerful. You first determined the result of the Soul being stripped away, and then used asking questions as the cause to activate the ability. Honestly, it seems only a powerhouse at the Saint level could achieve this kind of power!"

Tang Ku narrowed his eyes and smiled, "So I am very curious, how did you obtain such powerful strength? And in this world, I have never seen anyone who possesses twelve different special abilities. In your past life, you were just an ordinary person; although your speaking ability was good and your command ability was very strong, your personal combat power was negligible. Who was it that allowed you to possess such powerful abilities?"

Adolf smiled bitterly: "Is your curiosity that heavy? Now that I am 'held' in your hands, killing me seems to be your best choice!"

"Hmm, you don't want to say? Actually, I also know that your master should be an existence that has surpassed the power of a Saint, but for some reason, he cannot directly attack Earth, which is why he sent you to deal with the most powerful nation in this world, the Great Tang that possesses the Luck of the world, right?"

Tang Ku said in a deep voice, "After this steel city is built, do you intend to wage war against the Great Tang?"

Adolf kept his mouth shut, seemingly determined not to speak. Tang Ku, however, was not in a hurry; he had plenty of ways to persuade this devil from his past life. But, before Tang Ku could open his mouth to speak, he suddenly heard a roar in his ears.

Boom... Roar! "Adolf Hitler, you coward, get out here!"
