Armipotent

Chapter 1560  Thatʼs Him, Simplistic

This was not the first time he heard such notifications. It was when he integrated with Zaneos and turned himself into a demon, and had three hearts. With the evolution of Chaos Energy, he finally only had one heart.

ʼWill I have two hearts again?ʼ

If Tang Shaoyang had a physical body, he would shrug. It did not matter if he had two hearts or one heart as long as he was alive and healthy.

ʼAnd of course, I am still a Tang! Why would I change the name?ʼ

[The name is taken! Please choose a different name!]

Tang Shaoyang stumped for a moment, realizing the previous was different from him now. He could not use the same name for two different races. However, the issue was that he did not really have anything in his mind to name his new race. He would not name the new race with his actual name, Shaoyang. That sounded weird to him.

ʼHmmm…. Letʼs see. Since I evolved because I consumed a Calamity then… Calamity Tang?ʼ He threw away that idea immediately. If he put Calamity before his race, then people might hunt them down, thinking they were descendants of a calamity.

ʼC-Tang? CaTang? Caltang? Nah, thatʼs so bad,ʼ He wanted to keep the Tang in the name. Since he created the race, then he wanted his family name on it.

ʼTanga? Tange? Tangi? Tango? Tangu?ʼ

From those five random names, he liked Tange and Tangu. He had heard about tango even though he did not know what it was. It was not original. Spelling Tanga and Tangi sounded weird, so he did not put them into candidates. He liked Tange and Tangu, keeping those two names in his mind.

He was not looking for a name with a meaning. As long as that name had his identity and sounded pleasant in the mouth, he would pick them. Before he could find another name, his vision returned.

Tang Shaoyang was still in the same position when his body was burned. The difference was that the domain had lost its fire, and it seemed the Ethereal Frost also broke apart along with his body. He laid down on the empty space, watching his lower half regenerate.

The crimson-purple flame was gone along with Artrus. It was just an empty space with bare ground.

[Are you okay!?]

[What happened, Master!?]

He heard a real voice aside from Artrus, and it was all his spirits. His connection with them returned. It seemed like Artrus did something to cut off his connection with the spirit.

Then he heard their stories and his Spirit World was cut off from him as soon as he integrated with Artrus. Not only were they cut off, but the Spirit World was slowly crumbling. It was like a doomsday, destroying the world.

”That was quite a scary experience, huh?” Tang Shaoyang let out a chuckle. He was getting distracted from choosing a name after hearing his spiritʼs story.

But that was indeed a scary experience as a spirit almost took over his body. At least, that was what he got from Artrusʼ rambling earlier. The lionʼs plan was to take over his body and get out of this dimension. It seemed like Artrus was in the same position as Avyn. A living being who made a contract with the System to be a spirit while they were isolated in a world.

The spirits asked where this Artrus was. They were certainly angry at the lion for what he tried to do. They wanted to beat the lion, but they could not find the lion in the Spirit World right now.

”Ah, I consumed him somehow. I donʼt know how, but yeah, he died after he tried to take over my body,” Tang Shaoyang explained, ”Thanks to him, I evolved my race again.”

From the summoning, meeting, and forming a contract with Artrus. Not even half an hour had passed since, but he felt it was too long. Of course, he knew why, it was because of the pain he had to endure. In that short time, he almost lost his life for the third time.

[Thatʼs interesting, taking over a body? Can we try it, Master? I donʼt want to take over your body, but I want to know more about what I can do during the integration.] Vandir was more interested in Artrusʼ method of taking over the body.

”We can do that, but can you survive? I am telling you that I donʼt know how I consume Artrus, a peak Archaic Spirit. I canʼt control whatever consumed Artrus, and that thing might consume you as well. Do you want to try?”

[I want to, but unfortunately, I donʼt have the time. I am still researching your body. Maybe on other days.]

After saying that, Vandir did not speak anymore.

”So guys, do you have an idea for a name? I have to name my race.”

Tang Shaoyang still remembered the name. He had not gotten the name even though he had two on the lists. It did not take long for someone to give a suggestion.

[What about the King or Emperor? A race that means to rule.] The idea came from the former Demon Prince, Orlean.

Even though he was not necessarily looking for a name with a meaning, he liked the idea. The emperor was also his identity, and he liked it when Orlean explained why the Emperor was a good choice.

The other spirits also gave their suggestions. Even Avyn recommended taking part in her race. She told him that he could use Kankara or Xeo to be his race. But of course, he would not choose them.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, rubbing his chin while considering the names. The top three were Tange, Tangu, and Emperor.

”Haish, we are wasting too much time just for a name. Letʼs go with Tangu! I chose Tangu.”

Tang Shaoyang remembered Ophelia and Ophelius. He had wasted more than half an hour in this space. Then he chose one of the three, which was Tangu. It sounded pleasant to say, and his identity was in the name. That was just him, simplistic.
