This guy was like a ticking time bomb. If the Soul Ring exploded accidentally, not only would he not get anything, even his own Soul Ring might be damaged.
So Garon knew that he had to be as careful as possible.
"There's another way, which is to engulf the Soul Rings as a whole. This is the fastest but also the most dangerous. Natural Soul Rings have no conscious control, but my Soul Ring has consciousness and can engulf as a whole. It's like two armies, one has ten thousand people wandering around without a leader. The other only has two thousand people, but it has a strong leader. As long as the strategy is right, I should be able to engulf it. It's just that I must not be disturbed in the process. Otherwise, both Soul Rings might explode at the same time, and all my efforts of several lifetimes would be for naught. "
Garon roughly estimated the time needed with the Energy Machine Imprint. It would take about forty-five days.
"In other words, this risk must be taken …"
Looking at Mind Reader in front of him, Garon's eyes flashed with determination.
"If that's the case, then I'll go and solve all the hidden dangers first, then I'll absorb the Soul Ring."
In this world, the only one who could pose a threat to him was the Slayer. Since he did not plan to absorb the Soul Ring immediately, Garon simply sat cross-legged beside Mind Reader and absorbed part of the Soul Power that escaped from him.
Even if it was just a little bit of absorption, Garon could clearly feel that his body was strengthening at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Endless energy kept surging in his body. Garon slowly closed his eyes and felt the comfortable feeling of the Soul Power flowing into his body.
Mind Reader's face was obviously pale even though he was unconscious.

"Negotiate with Garon immediately. Ask him to release Mind Reader. The Four Great Cornerstones cannot be monopolized by a country or a group. He can't! No one can!! "
The highest political organization of the Black Federation – Stone Giant Building.
On the top floor of the black building that looked like a giant sculpture, a few chairmen were having a heated discussion.
"Lord Army Flag has been killed. Now our strongest force is only Lord War Flag. The Black Federation has lost one of the world's top generals. We can't afford any more losses! Otherwise, national security could be threatened. "A speaker represented the interests of the northern states and spoke in a calm voice.
"But we have to take revenge. This is a national humiliation!" Another person said coldly.
"We want Sword Saint Garon more than anyone else, but what can we use to pressure him? This is the key. " The supreme leader of the Black Federation was a dark-skinned black man with his hands behind his back and shoulder-length black hair. His body was strong and burly, giving off a strong and majestic feeling.
"We can use the resource import policy to curb Slann's resource exports and target business."
"You can deploy security forces and set up bases in the region. Carry out military restraint. "
"Warflag, what do you think?" The highest leader looked at Warflag, who had been silent all this while.
War Flag was silent for a moment, as if he was trying to organize his thoughts. After a while, he spoke.
"Slann's internal affairs are not monolithic. Capturing Mind Reader doesn't have any substantial benefits to them. I think we should be able to force Garon to hand him over by putting pressure and threats from various parties."
"Indeed, Vulture is just a branch of the Slann National Security Department. It's equivalent to our Special Operations Department and doesn't have much say. This possibility is very likely to be realized. "The highest leader nodded.
"Then who will implement this plan?"
"Me." War Flag said in a low voice, "Since this matter was started by our Special Operations Department, it should be ended by us."
"The new Army Flag has been chosen?"
"Yes, King Thunderclap will be in charge of Army Flag's position." War Flag responded.
"King Thunderclap …? That's good too. "The highest leader and the rest of the speakers were silent when they heard the name.

"What! Mind Reader has been captured!? And Minister Garon personally captured him?!! "Yuria exclaimed.
Looking at the mysterious woman in front of him, he had a few interactions with her and knew that she had always been working with Mind Reader. However, he did not expect such a big thing to happen when they met this time.
He had met Mind Reader during the day and heard this bad news at night.
He came all the way to the Ocean Capital because he wanted to borrow Mind Reader's ability to look for his sister and mother after he could not find them. Mind Reader had also agreed to his request without hesitation. Both of them had not known each other for long but they could feel each other's sincerity.
He could feel that Brother Mind Reader was not a bad person. He was just an ordinary person whose life had been distorted by fate.
"I came to you because I hope that you can get in touch with the Sword Master. What is his purpose? You used to be his disciple so you should know his character better, "the woman said in a low voice.
"Minister …" Yuria could not describe Garon's character. Now that he thought about it, he felt that the other party was always shrouded in layers of fog and he could not see through his background.
The number one genius in three thousand years? The strongest existence in Sword Dao martial arts? The number one expert in Slann?
These titles came one after another. However, other than these dazzling titles and terrifying battle results, he suddenly realized that he did not understand Garon's character at all.
"He … is always calm, as if nothing can baffle him. He does things with confidence and will never do anything meaningless." Yuria felt that the situation was getting troublesome. "Since the minister decided to capture Mind Reader, he must have his own purpose. He does things normally and no one can change or stop him. "
"Is there a way to find out the Sword Master's purpose?" A hint of worry flashed through the woman's eyes.
Yuria had interacted with Mind Reader a few times and felt that he was just a pitiful person who was dragged down by fate. Both of them were considered friends and now that his friend was captured by his own teacher, he felt a little depressed.
"I'll try. I can't guarantee anything," he muttered but still agreed.
*****
"Master Slayer! I'm afraid that only you can solve this matter personally. "
In a submarine in the deep sea.
A blurry head was displayed on a transparent glass screen and a voice was heard.
There was only one person in the submarine. Slayer was sitting alone in front of the screen while holding a long black scythe in his hand. This was the most advanced weapon he had just obtained. It could unleash 80% of his strength.
"The Sword Master is very powerful," Slayer was unmoved. "The reward you gave is not enough."
"I know it's not enough," the figure on the screen replied in a low voice. "But this time it's Jean's order."
"Jean?" Slayer's expression changed slightly and his lazy posture suddenly straightened up. "Are you sure?"
"The written notice will be sent to you soon. It'll be by tonight at the latest, "the figure replied.
"When do we leave?" Slayer did not hesitate.
"A week later at noon on Wednesday. You need to change your appearance to get close to the Sword Master. Be careful, he's very vigilant. "
"I know," Slayer nodded.
"And the Sword Master is even stronger than a year ago!"
Slayer remained silent and closed his eyes slightly as if he was taking a nap.
*****
Five days later …
"Why do you have time to visit me?" Garon looked gently at Yuria in front of him. "Any news about Xiaojie and Light Path?"
The two of them sat on both sides of the coffee table in the room and someone came up to serve them tea.
Yuria looked a little awkward.
"No, not yet. It's just that I heard that you've captured Mind Reader and wanted to come back … "
"Mind Reader is doing very well now." Garon smiled. "He's being provided with good food and drinks. Other than not being able to go out casually every day, the base has everything and anything can be provided at any time. Why? You want to borrow Mind Reader's ability? "
Yuria felt that he could not say it out loud so he lowered his head and pretended to drink tea. Borrowing was just an excuse. His real purpose was to see if Mind Reader was alright. After all, they were friends.
"It's not impossible." Garon did not refuse. Mind Reader was now under house arrest and he himself was under a lot of pressure. He finally understood why other countries, organizations and forces would rather monitor people than capture them directly.
"Mind Reader seems to know a lot of inside information and we can get a lot of valuable information from him. But … "
"But what?"
"But your matter may be a little complicated," Garon chose his words carefully.
"Complicated?" Yuria was a little excited. Obviously, he knew that Garon must have found some new clues. That was why he said that.
Garen had indeed obtained some new information, some of which even he was slightly surprised by. He looked at Yuria in front of him and did not know how to start talking about the Devil.
"I got this information from Mind Reader. I didn't expect the truth to be like this. That's why I didn't have time to tell you … "
"Master, Nine-Tailed Fox and the others are here," Twin-tailed Scorpion's voice suddenly came from Garon's invisible earpiece.
"Wait a moment, your Master Nine Tails has arrived." Garen paused mid-sentence. "Master Nine Tails has arrived."
Yuria calmed down a little and nodded to show that he understood. His Adam's apple bobbed as he suppressed his emotions and stood up.
"I'll leave for a while."
"Okay."
Garon nodded.
He knew the purpose of Nine-Tailed Fox's visit.
Mind Reader had the original Four Great Cornerstone Sacred Sigil. At the same time, it was also one of the most desired Sacred Sigil for the ability to read minds. Kong Xinxue was one of them. Therefore, they must be here for Mind Reader's Sacred Sigil Imitation.
"Sacred Sigil Imitation should be a technique to strip the Sacred Sigil. If I can master it, I might be able to gradually separate the natural Soul Ring and achieve the goal of safe absorption," Garon guessed.
Recalling the few Soul Crystals that he absorbed earlier, he was vaguely certain that his guess was probably correct.
After a while, the waiter took away the tea and served a new cup of coffee.
Nine-Tailed Fox, Kong Xinxue, Li Hua, and two other Transmigrators walked into the room in large strides. Each of them looked at Garen with a complicated expression.
"Welcome."
Garon stood up with a smile. (What a good event for free. Cool phones waiting for you!
