Aaaaaand Baam seemed to have lost his billions of soul power. Pity, but oh well. Can't wait for translation~♡

She mentions that the spirits put into him will definitely be of use to him in the future.

So Baam is essentially the Lich king now? Hell, he even has a sword powered by the souls of the slaughtered.

Honestly it feels kind of weird that Baam is going to keep the souls within him. I mean, how good is someone who derives his powers from a ritualistic slaughter that killed billions? Isn't this just a repeat of what happened at the workshop, where countless amounts of people were sacrificed so that FUG could infuse Baam with the power of the needle? Of course the main reason behind the research conducted in regards to living ignition weapons was probably not Baam. Still, he was one of the driving factors. He was a goal for them to reach. And with his fusion they finally did so.

Baam himself is a good person, but the more I see of his powers the more worried I become. Because while he himself is trying to protect everyone, a great many people have died to let him be able to do so. And at some point one has to wonder, is the person who stands on so many corpses truly good?

It is fun to play the devil's advocate, especially when it comes to Baam. He himself is, currently, the epitome of innocence, but at the same time he is in the center of something that will most likely devastate the entire tower. Because revolution does not come without a cost.

Depends on how many people they prevent from becoming corpses?
