Chapter 1162: Doing Everything Possible
To touch an Origin Core, well, I've done that with mine already.
And even with Arachne when I freed her of her Sin.
Which means that it is possible now, I've done it already.
I just have to do it again, without any weird formation or ritual.
All on my own.
I concentrated.
Concentrated as much as possible.
My Soul extended into countless of hands, phantasmal hands.
They entered the crystalized soul core, entering a completely empty, black space.
Using my heightened phantasmal senses domain, I was able to see the interior, hear, and even taste it.
It was an endless black void, empty, devoid of anything.
"This is the interior of her necklace. There's nothing here..."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
As I looked around, I felt slightly disappointed.
And also... sad.
Veredorr had been destroyed to the point there wasn't even a single thing left of him?
How could this even be...
FLASH!
"Huh?"
But I was wrong, a flash of white light surged from very, very far away.
I could have missed it, but there was a spark, a white dot amidst the endless void.
I followed it with my soul, finally reaching it.
It resembled a tiny pearl, infinitely small.
Perhaps as small as a cell, or bacteria.
Indeed, Origin Cores were usually infinitely small compared to souls.
Only the highest of divine souls and necromancy levels could ever truly detect them.
"This is your Origin Core, Veredorr..."
It had several cracks all over its white pearl-shaped body, and a few of its smaller fragments floated in midair.
I gently grabbed them, manipulating them with my sheer Divinity Essence, and slowly repaired it all back together.
But the pieces wouldn't stay put, they would drift away the moment my divinity was put away.
"Hmmm..."
I tried using conventional Undead Healing, it didn't work. Any of its versions worked for that matter. Necromancy didn't work either.
This was something deeper than the surface level of Necromancy...
"What can I do to heal an Origin Core?"
I racked my brains...
And then, something surged.
This Divinity I had.
The combination of Yin and Yang, perhaps?
She glanced as the Origin Core shone brightly, all materials fused together, forming an humanoid body around it, alongside a phantasmal clone dissolving itself to become the
origin core's soul.
This is the hardest part, to reassemble everything from zero, and it has a high chance of
failing as well!
FLAAASH!
RUMBLE!
SPARK!
Things were going smoothly until black thunder surged and... Well, the origin core was
rejecting its new soul.
Dammit, is it not enough with my super strong soul?!
What do you want then- Wait...
I looked at Tear.
"Tear! Can you imbue your ice and your soul aura into the formation?"
"Eh?! Me?!"
"Quickly, it all depends on you!"
"R-Right! For Veredorr... I would do anything!"
With all her remaining strength and with her soul in her bare hands, Tear imbued it all.
Pouring her very emotions into everything else!
FLASH!
"Veredorr... Please, remember me!"
She kept pouring more and more of her soul, it reached dangerous levels where she was taking
damage now.
"Tear, wait!"
I tried to stop her, but it was working.
I quickly connected soul threads into her soul, realizing her resolve, I imbued Soul Essence to
heal her soul as she used it to form Veredorr's soul anew.
"And I... I love you! I love you so much! So please...!"
RUMBLE!
Veredorr's soul was forming larger and larger, it was actually working!
"Please come back, Veredorr! I want to talk to you; I want to tell you so many things! PLEASE!"
As she screamed at the top of her lungs, her tears mixed with the entire formation, fusing into
Veredorr's soul.
And they were the last ingredient.
"Tear..."
I heard the faint voice of a young man reverberating across the formation.
And then his body took his soul as its vessel.
And everything became one.
FLAAASH!
