Chapter 1291 A Rare Law.


    ??He has gone from saying maybe his situation is "not so bad" to saying "maybe it is not bad at all." He may not be in an unenviable situation but he is making the best of it. He even has the confidence that he will grow strong enough to match a Supreme Origin god in the aspect of the soul.


    The great-mother has already reached that point since she can leave the spiritual dimension. So he very far behind. But he stole her life''s work and he has something she doesn''t have so he is sure that he can catch up to her in time.


    The major reason why he is optimistic is because of the information he stole from the great mother through her soul fragment. The soul grafting method which is a way to assimte souls without going mad, is just one of the things he stole. He also stole aw that he couldn''t haveprehended on his own from her.


    He said with admiration for the great mother and an equal amount of pride in himself. "The great mother is great. Herw of the soul is unparalleled. But she will be my stepping stone at the end of the day."


    She deserves his praise because she has great experiences in the spiritual dimension. In a ce where soul prowlers struggle to survive, she excelled. She was so excellent that she managed toprehend thew of the soul. This is aw that just not anyone can learn. It is more mysterious than highws in that only those with special soul rted talents or divine abilities can learn it.


    Unfortunately, he stole thew of the soul from her. He now has thew of the soul, soul force, Origin essence, soul sphere, and the other clones to rely on who can help him. If he can''t ovee her with everything he has, it will be too shameful for him and Legion.


    He has to admit that thew of the soul is great and the great mother that came up with it in this barren world withoutws is even greater. But her life''s work will only help Legion to achieve perfection. Thew of the soul is already paying dividends.


    Aeternus is using it to modify his soul into a concept-like structure that can protect him against Chaos energy. So he is not praising thew of the soul for nothing. Thew of the soul is aw that most people in the void universe do not know exists much lessprehend.


    "Let''s get to hunting. Talk is cheap. Action in the sole pursuit of power is the best way to achieve perfection."


    He continued hunting and eating souls. He made sure to digest them externally before he added them to himself. The soul fragments formed into a hexagonal structure around him like a beehive. He is the queen while they are the workers. Whenbined with the tentacles of soul force that extends out of him, it makes him look like a jellyfish. The soul fragments in the cocoon around him also produce different soul lights so he looks like a multicolored jellyfish.


    This look is different from how the great mother looks. It is partly because he is not as skilled as her in soul maniption and because his soul grafting technique is different from hers. She is so skilled that she can modify the soul fragments into feathers before grafting them onto herself.


    She chose feathers to create her current form because she used to be a one-eyed raven when she was alive. The memories she used to brainwash the soul fragment made it easier to turn them into the feathers that she lost. It reduced the rejection between the soul fragments.


    Her true soul or the core of her form is the single eye on her head. Her body, wings, and feathers are made from grafted soul fragments.


    As for him, his memories also transfer his obsession to the soul fragments so they maintain their difference while also empowering him. Then he used Origin essence to cement the grafting between them. This will ensure that they can never be removed from him.


    It is like so because his obsession is perfection throughbined effort. His aim to achieve perfection is bybining different strengths to ovee the weaknesses of the whole. His obsession is Legion.


    -


    Legion-7''s n for freedom from the spiritual dimension has be feasible now that he has found a hunting ground. His hunting went without a hitch for a long while until he encountered other soul prowlers.


    He was at the edge of the expanding gravitational field so the soul prowler he met was weak. It has a small zone of safety. That''s why it didn''t go further in to hunt more efficiently.


    The soul prowler is spherical. It looks like a white gem-


    encrusted spherical rock. It has learned a perception method. That is the minimum requirement to survive in the spiritual dimension.


    You can''t be blind and hope to survive anywhere much less the spiritual dimension. But awareness only means you will be aware as you are attacked and digested. If you fail toe up with a way to fight, then you will die.


    This soul prowler isn''t dead so it must be talented or lucky. It shot its spiritual energy like arrows in every direction. The arrows return to it when they hit an obstacle. The arrows bring information about the obstacle to it.


    This method of perception is simr to the spiritual echo method but it is much worse. It is highly inurate because it can''t form a 3-dimensional view of the world. The spiritual sense is unidirectional after all.


    It is like a blind man groping an elephant. He can only get a little information at a time which might cause him to misidentify the elephant as something else.


    The technique also isn''t continuous so information is not updated in real time. There is arge period of darkness between each arrow which makes it very difficult to assess position, speed, and direction urately. It can''t do any one of these urately much less more than one.


    ----


    A/N: If you have a fear of the dark or nyctophobia, you won''t survive in the spiritual dimension.
