Chapter 2547 Clone The runes continued to come out of me without stopping; since I had decided to burn my soul, I would not hold back anything till I finished up what I began.
One minute and twenty-seven seconds later, I am finished. The whole stainless blood runes are covered in tiny silvery roses that now the blood-red color of it could barely be seen through the covering of the silver runes.
My soul had been injured, but the injury was not big; still, it would take a few days and precious resources like the pure soul water to heal it. I now just hope the efforts I had put in will be worth it; it would be a huge disappointment if the whole thing had collapsed.
As the comprehended runes came imprinted on the stainless blood soul lotus, I gently put it down in the vibrant green water.
”Activate!” I said as I activated the formation of the lotus and of the pool; whether I succeeded or not will now be known in the next few minutes.
As I activated it, the whole pool, be it the clay boundary or the liquid inside, had turned into runes, tens of thousands of runes and envelopes, and began to link with runes that lotus was transforming in.
There was resistance, but the resistance did not last for more than a few seconds before both of the formations began to link together. If I had a week or two to furnish the formation further, there wouldn’t be even the tiniest resistance.
It did not take even a minute for the runes to link together, and when they did, all of them came at me and began covering me.
Buzz!
The green clay square I was sitting on lit up, and the formation covering me began to link up with my body and soul at an even faster speed.
If I had followed the exact procedure of connecting crystalized minds formula, I would have used only stainless blood soul lotus and had been practicing outside instead of inside my core, but I did not.
The one thing I like most about the formula is the freedom it gives, though not as absolute as rule-bending power, but far more than any other method I had seen. As long one follows the basic steps in practicing the formula, one adds many things of their own.
Other methods did not let one do that.
I think the author had intentionally given such freedom so that one could find their own ways around the restrictions this method have.
It is the complexity and restrictions that make this method difficult to practice; one might comprehend the complexity after some time and effort, but not everyone can find a way to go around the restrictions or use them to fix the flaws that the method have.
This method was supposed to be the soul method, but I had added little elements of the body, like using a Stainless Blood Soul Lotus, which is not a pure soul resource. It is the same with resources and formation that had formed the pool.
Still, three parts of this method are the soul, while a single part is attributed to the body, which I think is an approach more suitable for my needs.
Within a few minutes, the runes have merged into me, and I begin to feel the tingling in my body and soul. The tingling in my body is light, but it is quite intense in my soul, and if I did not have immense control over it, I wouldn’t have helped myself twitching around.
Still, the tingling got worse, so worse that I began to twitch all over; even with all the control I had over my soul and body, I couldn’t stop twitching, no matter how long I tried.
The twitching continued and got even more intense; those looking at me might think I was having seizures.
Nearly an hour passed when suddenly everything had stopped; the intense twitching of my soul vanished, and with it, the seizures. The formation had also disappeared, and I was about to look for it when I felt it, something I had never felt before.
My whole body shone up, and white marble shade liquid began to seep out of every part of my body, and a shape began to form in front of me.
Drops after drops came out of me; they were not just of white marble color; some tiny number of them were black, brown, and green, but the majority were marbled white.
While the drops came out of me, I was lost in a completely different world, feeling something that I had never felt before, and this feeling increased as more and more drops came out of me.
I don’t know how much time passed and when I came to myself, I saw myself sitting in front of me.
I had a marble stone skin, brown eyes, and black hair; everything about it was the same for me, to the minute detail; the only difference it has with me is it is made of marble.
”Hello,” I said with a smile, “Hello,” It replied, bearing the exact same expressions and speaking in the exact tone as me, seeing that a smile couldn’t help but appear on my face.
I moved my hand, and it moved its hand at the same time, and soon our hands touched. At first touch, it felt like marble, but one could feel softness like skin the next second.
If I had practiced the concentrated crystalized minds to the word, it would have been translucent, but since I have made the modifications, it has become like this.
This could be said to be my clone, but one that is far more efficient than me. It had a complex algorithm that could run the soul energy far more efficiently than I; from studying to working on formation, it would be able to do anything and would never sleep or rest even for a second.
One might consider it is akin to my avatar in the core, but it is far better. For one thing, I do not have to supply soul energy constantly to maintain it; it is independent but still connected. I will instantly understand what it learned as if it is studied by me, as it is me.
Like I had said earlier, it will not need sleep or rest; unlike my avatar, it will not disappear when I sleep. It will remain.
The most amazing thing about it is that it made me compare its usage near rule-bending energy is; that it will not be the first clone. I could create more as my level and soul energy progressed.
In just the first level, there are three clones; I have already created one clone, and I will create two more as I advance in the levels.
Now, I did not have to fear it disappearing when I entered my core; unlike my avatar, it will not.
I have been waiting for it since the day I read the method, and now that I have got it, I will be able to accomplish many things. It will be like three or four of me working in triple time; unlike me, this clone is designed for pure computational work and utilizes soul power at pure efficiency.
