Chapter 1168 Cap 1166: The Only Truth



It's been two days since we've been at Astrid's people's main base, during which time Caitlyn has prepared magic on a large scale using her blood and Authority to influence everyone within established range.

Right now I was inside the Dungeon, more specifically on the top floor where I spent almost half of my DP that I gathered over the years and it still wasn't finished when the points ran out.

I was going to a colorful crystal castle in the middle of a large meteor, and it was in a similar environment to the universe, on each side of the castle there was a large sphere half its size containing the captured half-ship creatures.

I enter the castle and am greeted by Hades kneeling in front of the door.

"I already told you that you don't need all this formality around me." (I)

"That is my duty and honor to you, my lord." (Hades)

Sigh

"Alright, now get up and tell me how things are going." (I)

Hades stands and stands a step behind me going over the report as we walk through the crystal castle, the thick scent of blood still in the air.

"I smell more blood, did Lyra purify the blood of insects?" (I)

"Unfortunately no, the blood was no longer the same, it was one and only substance, but by combining them while she processed the blood, she managed to burn the worst parts leaving only those that were more connected to vitality." (Hades)

"Did you find out what that disgusting thing called blood was?" (I)

"There were several types of languages just like the master described, but there were also several alchemical substances mixed in, Lyra seems very interested in her studies." (Hades)

"Can the blood be consumed now?" (I)

"Miss Lyra and I believed so, but her sister appeared less than an hour ago and took all the blood that was refined by Miss Lyra's alchemical process." (Hades)

"Was it Elizabeth or Natasha?" (I)

"It was Lady Elizabeth, she left a message for you to meet her at the Common Temple in the Imperial Capital." (Hades)

"..." (I)

I can't understand my sisters, each one of them doing things on their own without showing the slightest respect for everything I'm always doing for them, Elizabeth must have her reasons as always, but she could have warned before doing something.

"The prisoners, how are they?" (I)

"Miss Lilith tried to keep the prisoners entertained while they were waiting for Miss Caitlyn to do the interrogation." (Hades)

"Let me guess, she didn't get anything right?" (I)

"Yes, none of them spoke and each was properly healed after she was done with them." (Hades)

"For some people, the pain isn't such a bad punishment and I'm not even sure their bodies can feel pain." (I)

With so many changes in their bodies, it would not be surprising if they found a way to deactivate the sense of pain.

"Where is my sister?" (I)

"Miss Caitlyn was seeing one of the prisoners and asked you to..." (Hades)

"Come on you idiot, I'm here." (Caitlyn)

Suddenly a small Caitlyn with fly wings appeared as if her body had been created at this moment, this was a Lesser Familiar of my Sister.

I followed her to a room at the top of the castle, there I found Caitlyn floating on top of a crystal bed where one of the prisoners Hinata captured was lying.

If I'm not mistaken she never woke up since she was captured, but she wasn't hurt by Hinata or me.

"What are you doing, Caitlyn… I mean big sister." (I)

"I'm glad you corrected yourself... I'm taking care of this one, I find your mind very interesting." (Caitlyn)

"What's interesting?" (I)

"She didn't wake up from anything we tried, Lyra used potions, Vanessa tried to use holy magic to heal and I finally got called in to take a look into her mind or in other words kick her conscience from the inside out to wake up." (Caitlyn)

"But your mind is broken in a very rare way." (Caitlyn)

"What does it matter?" (I)

"Because it wasn't just the mind, the soul is fragmented, I don't know what it went through, but it seems that the mind broke first so badly that it started to hurt the Soul." (Caitlyn)

"She doesn't seem to be dead, her Aura doesn't seem broken either." (I)

"Her Soul of hers is fragmented, but those fragments are still together, the same Soul chains that bind their bodies together in this disgusting way are also tying her Soul fragments together." (Caitlyn)

"Is that why she's unconscious?" (I)

"No, your mind as I said before is broken, there is more than one personality in your mind, actually there are 6." (Caitlyn)

"A crazed personality, a personality full of sadness, a personality full of pain, a personality full of fear, a personality full of loyalty, and a personality full of love." (Caitlyn)

"..." (I)I think you should take a look at

I didn't know what to say, I had already heard about cases of multiple personalities in my old world, but I hadn't heard about it in this world until now.

I looked again at the woman on the bed, her hair was long wavy, her skin was blueish, she had horns on her head one of each color being black and white, she looked as fit as Diana and had 4 arms.

"What do you plan to do with her?" (I)

"I nothing, I want you to do something." (Caitlyn)

"I want you to use it in your project." (Caitlyn)

"No, her mind and Soul are broken, she won't be useful." (I)

"I'm not saying shrink her over your other prisoner, I'm saying use them together." (Caitlyn)

"What do you mean? You want me to merge the two?" (I)

"No, I want you to create twins, that will be even better, listen..." (Caitlyn)

I spent almost 2 hours talking to Caitlyn about my project, all my sisters already knew what I wanted to do and how I was going to do it, and that's because I needed her advice on some things, after leaving that room asking my sister to try to get something out of other prisoners, I went to see Elizabeth who had meddled in Lyra's work.

Looks like I'd have to look for her in the Communal Temple.

--------------

Pov Caitlyn:

Looking into the minds of these people is very interesting, the woman fall from earlier with the various personalities, all focused on one thing, the source of her love, pain, madness, sadness, and fear.

The same prisoner that Zenos wants to investigate, she is at the top of the list he passed to me, it seems that this woman I am interested in was captured along with this other prisoner, image of her is also all over the fragmented mind.

I was very interested in how this all happened, I could clearly feel traces of changes in the mind, but it wasn't a direct change like entering someone's mind reshaping everything, it wasn't the smooth way I'm influencing people through dreams either.

It looks more like the mind is trained over and over again and memories are put into the mind, but the way it's done is weird.

I couldn't help thinking about these things, they are different subjects from those I encountered in the past, and it's been a while since I found something so interesting.

When I arrive at the prison where my first target on the list is being held, I find the young woman sitting in a corner poking a hole in her arm with her other hand.

"Your Necromancer magic won't help here." (I)

"So you know..."

"Your Aura control is laughable, to say the least, to me it's like you're walking around with a sign that says Flesh Abomination and Necromancer, hit here." (I)

"How do you know our language? Did Astrid teach you or Miriam?"

"Neither, I learned it myself from the minds of the people of your Universe." (I)

"What is your name?" (I)

"What do you want my name for? Do you think you can get some information out of me? I don't fear pain, like many other sensations pain is a gift of the flesh to us."

"I don't need to torture you to get what I want, there are other ways to get what I need." (I)

I simply walk through the bars and before she realizes I'm in front of her, her eyes are really interesting, I've never seen that kind of eyes before, it's definitely not natural, after looking into her eyes I turn to the wall that has something very large writing.

"That wasn't magic, was it?"

"Haku... is that your name?" (I)

"How do you… wait! Like my this…" (Haku)

She looks at the wall in surprise and then at me, after which she starts to look around in surprise before bursting out laughing.

"Hahahahahahaha... a dream... hahahahaha..." (Haku)

"When did I fall under your spell?" (Haku)

"From the beginning, but I congratulate you for discovering so quickly, most people are slow to realize that they are dreaming." (I)

"Entering my mind wasn't a good idea..." (Haku)

"Hahahahhaha..." (Haku)

"The only truth... for the only truth... we all seek to understand the only truth." (Haku)

"The only Truth is the Meat!!!"

"..." (I)

Suddenly all the walls started to soften and change to a redder color resembling flesh, even the prison bars became made of bones as a new voice sounded as if coming from far away.

I only had time to see the source briefly before I broke my spell and opened my eyes.
