Chapter 2011 Deluded Inheritor
The very foundation of who Rui was had been shaken to its very roots.
The words of the Divine Doctor were more painful than anything he had ever experienced in his entire life.
Pure horror erupted from within the depths of Rui's heart at the revelation.
RUMBLE!!!
Heaven and earth shook as the world mourned alongside him.
A single quivering whisper escaped him.
"I'm not John Falken...?" The light of terror lit up in his eyes as his body shivered, entering a state of shock.
The very root of his identity had been ripped out.
Ripped out with apathetic cruelty. Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com
"Correct," the Divine Doctor grinned with amusement. "The soul transference ritual is a method created by the Beggar Sage, the Psycher, and, of course, the Divine Doctor. We each play an equally important role in the ritual. I handle all of the creation and production of the vessel with the goal of reducing the probability of incompatibility between psychology and physiology. I adjust all anatomical, physiological, and biochemical parameters to be close to that of the original's body. My skills are so supreme that the impossible becomes not only possible but plausible."
Rui stared at him with raw horror, frozen in shock.
"The Psycher handles the optimizing mental states for the vessels. Using his extraordinary understanding of mind, he puts both the donor and inheritor vessels into truly extraordinarily deep trances, certainly vastly deeper than this dungeon or Martial Artists do, without which extracting every memory is absolutely impossible." The Divine Doctor's tone was clinical. "The Beggar Sage is the greatest genius of information, knowledge, and epistemology. He handles the transference of information. You cannot even begin to fathom how extraordinarily difficult it is to transfer the actual information of memories. The soul transference ritual is an impossible miracle that can only occur when the three of us pool in our extraordinary prowess together. And yet..."
He stared at Rui with fascination. "...here lies an inheritor we never created."
He turned away from Rui as his eyes wandered about with curiosity. "It certainly isn't possible for this to have naturally occurred. If it was done by a conscious agent, then they either independently arrived at the soul transference ritual or..."
His eyes grew more intense. "...or stole it from us. Yet, just knowing the means and mechanics isn't enough; without our skills, the ritual would be impossible. Or so I thought..."
He turned back to Rui with curious eyes.
"This is impossible..." Rui whispered. "This cannot be. I am John Falken! There is absolutely no way that I'm not!"
The Divine Doctor laughed.
He laughed heartily.
He laughed heartily at the symphony of Rui's despair and denial.
At the very least, he needed to heal his father. Perhaps after that, he could kill him?
Yet, the thought of that simply brought him more misery.
It was a tantrum.
The man had simply told him the truth. The very truth that Rui had asked him for and negotiated for.
What was the point of getting angry at him?
Who was he to get angry with him?
Who was he?
RUMBLE
The world shook.
Horror, terror, rage, despair, and misery converged within the depths of his mind.
They converged into a singularity of extraordinary emotional intensity.
And then, they exploded.
"AAAARGRGRGRHAGRHAHRGRHRHRGARGRH!!!" A horrifying eruption of emotion washed over the entirety of the Mellow Manifold as the weight of the revelations of the Divine Doctor truly settled inside his mind.
And they were too much.
His condition had originally been very poor because of the battle with the chimera; he simply could not handle the emotional distress that had been brought about by the Divine Doctor's revelations.
His eyes rolled upwards as his body loosened.
THUD
He collapsed unconscious.
The Divine Doctor studied him for a moment before making the prudent decision to heal him to absolute perfection.
"This inheritor is of extremely high value to the Divine Doctor even if he definitely will never break through to the Sage Realm..."
