Chapter 1253: Forging The Strongest...(8)



"Fractional Territory Expulsion?"

Skullius and the other phantoms were surprised, but not particularly confused. The name the phantom had suggested made it rather easy to understand what it was getting at: partially expelling a Territory.

But was this possible?

Could a simple skill issue be the one hurdle in the way of developing this?

"How exactly would we go about doing that? We can't slice a Territory into thirds now, can we?"

"That's exactly what we need!" the phantom with the idea exclaimed. "Of course, rather than tactlessly dividing our Territories, we'll split the effects and even the Imaginary GeoScape for good measure and infuse the parts into the Phantasmic Retainer!"

"Oh, that's brilliant actually. The Imaginary GeoScape has a mass of its own. If we divided the effects of the Territory, but kept the Imaginary GeoScape as is, the Retainer probably wouldn't be able to hold it still."

"I see. But if we are cutting up the GeoScape as well, we are going to need a lot more than just skill here, right?"

"Oh, absolutely."

Skullius once again felt like he had to butt in.

"My brothers in Somanda's demise, aren't you forgetting something here? If we temper with our Territories like this, won't it affect them when we actually need them whole?" he asked.

Skullius was still relatively new to Territories.

He had indeed created one, which taught him a lot of things, like the reason behind why a Territory was 'expelled', for instance: A Territory - after one decided how it world work and what it would look like - actually existed in a metaphysical form within the user's body before they cast outward.

The two Territories that had been isolated from Skullius because of the process facilitated by [Restless Storm Companion], were in their metaphysical states.

It was this bit of enlightenment about the state of Territories in one's body that made Skullius apprehensive about tempering with them. Wouldn't that damage them?

"Prime, relax. That's why we had you duplicate all our abilities. We don't intend to experiment with both the duplicates and the originals, you know?" a phantom answered Skullius' concerns.

And indeed, earlier, Skullius had been told to use Creeds to duplicate all of his skills and abilities. This had applied to everything including the Seeds of the Fruit of World Myths and the Majestic Territories.

"I see. If that's the case then alright. I assume we need Creeds to enable this ability to fractionally expel our Territories?" Skullius said.

"I have an idea," Skullius said. "Maybe we don't need it, but someone else might."

Right then, both Skullius and the phantoms looked at one of the few things remaining in the space around them.

It was a consciousness which had been isolated from the Hybrid Luman body.

It was rather weak, so weak that it couldn't express itself like Skullius. How hazy it was, barely showing signs of solidity, demonstrated its pitiful nature.

Skullius drew close to it. If he had hands, he would have cradled it gently.

"It's time you had some autonomy, Sila. You've earned it," Skullius said to the Tower

General.

Indeed, the Tower General deserved a reward.

He had gone from attempting to steal Skullius body all the way back then, to helping him

reclaim it today.

Because of the other set of memories, Skullius now had vivid memories of Sila sacrificing his soul to restore Skullius' own, which had been breaking apart after his battle with Rayn, and how the General had tried to save Skullius from Fulgardt's influence. The Tower General had never ceased being the voice of reason in the possessed-Skullius' mind, nagging him constantly, hoping he would come to his senses.

It was for Skullius' sake that Sila was in this state - strange as it was that he was still kicking

in such a form.

For this, Skullius couldn't be stingy.

At once, he activated [Graceful Monolith of the Eminent] and added the Stolen Angel and

Sila's consciousness into one seed.

"Hopefully, this will work for you," Skullius said.

Once this process was complete, Skullius turned away.

It was time to taste Divinity and its benefits!
