Chapter 220: Settling In The City (5), Visit & Tragedy
Aleron sat atop a tree's branch.
'Thank you for coming after me,' Aleron said as he looked at four souls in his sea of consciousness.
'I will be using your territory and the stash of chaos coins you've hidden. It was nice to put a stash since even if a couple of your group dies, the remaining can use it.'
'But foolishly, you've all come after me.'
'Thank you. And I will also be using your soul to try and create something that will aid me in my endeavors.'
'So, thank you again.'
[Gachapi: The new version is ready, Master.]
[Astral: Woohoo, let's see what kind of monster Mastah creates this time! Unlimited Cooking Works!]
[Gachapi: Calm the fuck down! You're already months old now.]
'Alright, kids. Let's start,' Aleron grinned.
The four souls appeared in perfect appearance as their physical counterparts floated before Aleron.
'I've gathered tons of knowledge of body path, and I've used Geno Mods and infused them in a product made using Genome Pulse and Vigor Force. The structure I envisioned, traced, and constructed is perfect.'
'And lastly, I added Chakra energy to make resonance with their power source. Chakra energy is the most powerful anchor to create new vessels of their source power.'
[Astral: Eh? Do you plan to wipe out their memories?]
[Gachapi: Duh, we have to kill their active consciousness, which will erase their memories and everything. A clean slate for the new Genome structure filled with newborn information. We are going to see a mutation evolution of a natural soul aided by a self-created genome structure with selected geno mods to construct their new body with a seamless connection to their source.]
A dreamy bubble formed around Aleron as he used a Mystic Skill to isolate himself from the space outside.
The four souls floated a meter away from him.
His eyes glinted with a colorful hue as he pointed his finger ahead. The tip of his finger lit up with a creamy glowing blue and red color bearing purple and black sparks.
The tip released that same cream in fluid motion and form as it infused within the four souls simultaneously.
After a few minutes, four colorful cocoons formed after the process, each one the size of two meters long and a meter wide, like an egg.
'Lastly, the brand of the owner,' Aleron drilled a tiny hole in his thumb using a bit of Magilore.
He consumed his Bloodline Essence and formed a symbol of ownership before branding it to their soul within the cocoons.
'It's happening,' Aleron's eyes gleamed as he looked at the four cocoons.
[Gachapi: Their bodies and new foundations are being constructed...I wonder about the result, haha. It's going to be awesome.]
'Yep. But this will take a few days at least,' Aleron wryly smiled and waved his hand, putting the cocoon in a separate spatial storage with a spatial layer connection to Chaosverse so that the time would continue to flow normally within the storage.
'Now then, I also want to summon something. The maximum I will get is a Transcendent powerhouse if I summon, and to get a natural banner, we have to make a move,' Aleron stood up and removed the isolation bubble around him.
[Astral: Mastah, are you planning to touch a Chaotic Beast to get it's banner?]
[Gachapi: That's the plan, but Master, before we do that, how about contacting Cosmos Will Rexian and getting the juicy pure soul essence from our Hell that he is handling?]
Aleron's eyes shone. 'There must be a huge amount of pure soul essence by now!'
[Gachapi: That's true, but don't keep your hope high, Master. There's a massive qualitative difference between a Paragon-rank lifeform's soul quality and an Ascension-rank lifeform's soul quality.]
'Gotcha.'
Aleron executed a Mystic Skill: Voidless Wormhole.
The only reason Aleron had a connection to his Midworld was all thanks to his specialty and the foundation of powers he built for his Mystic Path.
The path from Chaosverse to his Midworld or Lower Cosmos realm wasn't direct. Normal powerhouses would have to use portals established by forces of the upper cosmos to even arrive in Chaosverse.
To leave, they must return to an Upper Cosmos and then access their Midworld if they have any.
But Aleron had a high mastery of space-time, and his Mystic Path was also fully integrated with the power of this field in advanced forms according to his Mystic Path's awakened traits.
He had created a Mystic Skill capable of connecting to his Midworld from Chaosverse and gained free access.
Although he wasn't alone in having a Mystic Skill like this, this was still an exceptional advantage.
Aleron entered through the wormhole and arrived in his Midlworld.
It had been a while since he met his people, so he spent a couple of hours with Alfred and the leaders of sub-forces under him.
With no conflict and everything in full development, the Loushak Cosmos was thriving. Ardential Planet became the center of the cosmos and universes under the Loushak Cosmos. When new powerhouses rise and reach the peak of Ascension rank, they could gain access to a special area in his Eldertide Archipelago Midworld, especially for training and meditation. People could achieve a breakthrough to Paragon-rank here and then directly join Aleron's organization in the Chaosverse!
By now, 1 s Midworld was most massive territory under Aleron. It was bigger t the biggest stars and planets in any cosmos since it was fed more cores of secret realms by the Cosmos Will Rexian.
Aleron's relationship with Cosmos Will Rexian was solid!
But as he met with Rexian after spending a couple of hours looking around, a dire message was delivered to him.
"What?!" Aleron frowned. "Radrata Cosmos was enslaved?!"
"Yes. I got Cane's message. We've been in touch since you made a connection between us,' Rexian said, his avatar appearing like a white sun with a cartoon-like facial structure that displayed worry. "I feel strange. There's something going on in the lower cosmos realm." "I can visit Radrata cosmos after I seal my power to the level of Ascension-rank, right?"
Aleron asked.
[Gachapi: Difficult, unless Rexian helps us and uses its genesis energy. This energy is the purest and most potent form of creation energy possessed by a cosmos core. If any lifeform comes into contact with it, that energy disperses like a dream after waking up, so it's unobtainable and unusable for all except for a Cosmos Will.]
[Astral: So that's why it's a must to enslave a cosmos will if someone wants to do use a lower
cosmos to their advantage.]
"You can go with my help, Boss Aleron," Rexian said with a determined expression. "Let's
save Cane and his cosmos."
"Great," Aleron smiled. "Also, bring me pure soul essence. I'll absorb it and let it process while I've sealed my powers to Ascension-rank level, so I don't have to waste time on it
later."
"Understood. It's coming in three seconds."
Aleron nodded and prepared himself.
Three seconds later, a direct stream of pure soul essence flowed into Aleron by Cosmos Will
Rexian.
Aleron absorbed all of the soul essence and stored it in his source space. It strangely compressed and turned into glittering transparent milky crystals from its dreamy liquid-like
state.
[Gachapi: Since your source space is stronger now, the pure soul essence is into a higher version of pure soul essence, matching your current soul's quality by compressing.]
'I see. This is good. That ocean-like pure soul essence turned into a small pond of crystals. But
it seems that I'll be full with it and will have some leftovers,' Aleron grinned from ear to ear. His Soul State would be maxed! This was a massive advantage that not many could have.
The pure soul essence that Aleron just fully absorbed came from trillions of souls or more!
No normal powerhouses of Paragon rank could attain this much progress unless they also befriended a Cosmos Will enough to make it act like this.
It was a massive purge in the multiple universes under this Cosmos as all black and red marks were now in a massive hell constructed by Cosmos Will Rexian and designed by Aleron!
But there was no time to be lost in this glee.
Aleron quickly sealed his powers, becoming a peak-stage Ascension-rank powerhouse.
Without further ado, he created a portal to Radrata Cosmos and entered.
'W-What the hell?' Aleron was shocked!
[Astral: Why are there such scary holes here?]
Gachapi gulped, even his avatar appeared outside, which he rarely did.
Gachapi's expression was bewildered at first, but then it gradually turned somber and then
dark.
"Master...this cosmos is dead, all universe within are sucked and destroyed," Gachapi said, his big eyes glinting darkly. "There's not an ounce of Genesis energy or a speck of life present
except for their residual prints, which created these holes."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"It seems that this event just happened recently."
The vast expanse of blackness had giant holes colored white and gray with black in their
centers, still and silent.
There was no intact planet or glowing star.
Aleron felt true emptiness looking at this expanse of space.
[Astral: What will happen now? Does this mean everyone in this cosmos is dead?]
"Wait..." Gachpi frowned as he sensed something. "Master, release a bit of your soul
presence."
"Alright," Aleron nodded and did as told.
A second later, he suddenly received something in his mind after a flicker of light that briefly appeared before vanishing.
That something was fleeting but firm, and it just released a voice in his head.
A familiar voice.
"Hi, friend. Trouble has brewed here, and as you are witnessing now, a tragedy has fallen
upon my world and its inhabitants."
"I only had this much to leave before my demise, so heed my words. Something sinister is brewing in the Upper Cosmos realm. Power was used on us, a device of extraordinary capabilities. It sucked the entirety of my Genesis energy and sucked the essence of life out of everything and everyone."
"I was enslaved forcefully, and this happened immediately after that. I only regained my consciousness for a bit before losing it all. In that brief time, I could only send some selected warriors to the Chaosverse before losing it all."
Cane said as his voice expressed anguish despite trying to mask it and as he smiled, one could
see it filled with sorrow.
"I hope you can meet with them and guide them...and perhaps even thwart the sinister plot
brewing above. I sensed something extraordinary in you, and I wanted to aid you, but alas, I have ceased to exist now."
"I wish, and I hope you succeed in your endeavors, Aleron. Our meeting was brief, but your impression is eternal. May your hand be the one that becomes the umbrella of our existence."
