Bruce exhaled slowly, a thought taking shape in his mind.
'With my Life Glance and Death Glance title, affecting the soul isn't something farfetched…'
And then,
His breath hitched.
A wild, dangerous smile crept onto his face, eyes lighting with sudden realization.
'Why haven't I thought of this before?' he wondered. 'Why did I keep limiting myself to physical structures, to flesh and organs, when everything I manipulate has always gone deeper than that?'
The more he followed the thread of thought, the faster his heart began to beat. Excitement surged through his veins, not reckless, not uncontrolled, but sharp and focused, like a scalpel finding its mark. This wasn't power-lust.
This was discovery.
'The soul isn't untouchable, he realized. I can heal damaged soul if I wanted. Stabilize it. Repaire it.'
His lips curled slightly. 'So why shouldn't I be able to destroy it the same way?'
Bruce turned toward Ash, eyes glinting with something cold and eager.
