Chapter 1017 Michael 2.0
Loki was still unsure what Michael was going to do. He had never been an Awakened, which was not uncommon among the Rebels, and never visited the Origin Expanse. He had heard enough about either, but his knowledge of Soultrait Symbols wasn't as extensive as Michael's. In fact, not even Fenrir's knowledge about Soultrait Symbols was as great as the knowledge Michael had acquired. Fenrir might be the source of all the knowledge Michael acquired through Extraction, but the Beast God was born a God. Fenrir had been as strong as a Beast God since birth, yet it took aeons to shapeshift his Divinity and create exactly what he wanted. Jormungandr and Hel had been more fortunate. Hel was the incarnation of Death and had thus no problem acquiring the Death Authority, while the World Serpent easily acquired a decent mastery of the Poison Law and the Power Authority.
Still, it was interesting to know that Jormungandr and Hel had sealed and forsaken their Divinities for thousands of years to enter the Origin Expanse. However, it wasn't that the two godly siblings were fleeing from the Primal to consider escaping into the Origin Expanse. No. They started looking for Fenrir in the Origin Expanse. Interestingly enough, Fenrir found them instead.
One way or another, Michael's knowledge of Soultrait Symbols was so extensive that he could easily decipher the powers of Soultrait Symbols according to its presence and the details unraveled by True Vision.
That was also why Soul Cutter, Implant, Prehistoric Vessel, Second Chance, and the Extra's Body were the perfect Soultraits for Michael. He didn't waste much time but used Insert on the Soultrait Symbols while also infusing Fenrir's Essence and curse power into the Soultrait Symbols. He also added the Essences of Jormungandr, Hel, and the Nature Heart with a trace of his purest energy into the fray, yet he didn't overdo it. There was no need to insert too much of the God Curses' Essences into the pair of Soultrait Symbols he formed for his grand plan.
[Second Body – Stage of the Split Consciousness] and [Perfect Soul Vessel] were created.
Michael was unsure how exactly he managed to create a Soultrait Symbol with such a long name since no Soultrait Symbol was longer than three words before, but that was also interesting. He was curious how different a long name would be once added to his Soul.
Well...a part of his soul.
"Yes!!!" Michael exclaimed, his fists shooting into the air.
He made a victory pose and chuckled like a little child. His plan was working out. No, it was even better than he had planned because the consciousness of the Living Soul was born within Michael. It tapped into Michael's mind, where everything was shared. After all, the consciousnesses were one and the same.
THe new consciousness was just like Michael, but it had only recently been born. Differences were bound to appear, but Michael was confident the changes wouldn't affect him negatively. If anything, the older consciousness would be positively affected by the newborn mind in his head.
They were the same, though alike, and felt the exact same as well. The only difference was that they could control different bodies.
Precisely, Michael could control his body, whereas Michael 2.0 couldn't control anything. Other than the Living Soul, of course.
"That is perfect," Michael mumbled before throwing Mike – which he decided to call Michael 2.0 – into the Spring of Abundant Life.
In the meantime, Loki could only stare at him in confusion, shock, and a mix of various other emotions, including anger.
"What...the hell did you just do?!"
