Chapter 39: Aftermath
Acting quickly, Sage checked if the Twin Ringed Soul Serpent was still living in the most simple way he knew of. Running close to its body he held out his hand and tried to scoop it into his Storage Ring. Things with souls or a consciousness could not get pulled into his Storage Ring so when the body suddenly disappeared from the ground, Sage knew it was no longer a threat. At the same time, the Twin Soul was still inside his Spiritual Sea and trying to distract him with sudden attacks and wary circling.
Wait this serpent can be reborn when its body dies!
Recalling what hed read in the description of the serpent, Sage had a sudden thought and ran back towards the spot where hed first entered battle with the Twin Ringed Serpent. He had been digging a hole there and that was when the physical body struck at him. The Twin Soul must have inadvertently led him to an important location. The Twin Soul in his spiritual sea intensified its attacks as Sage got closer to that spot. Not even bothering to fight the Twin Soul anymore, Sage divided a small bit of his attention on simply staying within the light of the Seed of Life and floating away from the Twin Soul. The ghostly snake would constantly burn and sizzle as it flew into that green light. Each time it attacked it would lose soul matter and grow smaller. After the many exchanges it was already half the size it had started at, not longer looking like an anaconda and instead the size of a large python.
In the outside world, Sage pulled out his spade again and started to dig like he had been before. Sending his Spiritual Sense down to find the blank spot from before and keep watch on the space that didnt exist. This sort of technique, that rendered one invisible to Spiritual Sense, was pretty useful, but since this thing never moved it had little chance to hide from him. Finally, he excavated the little burrow deep enough to expose the place his spiritual sense couldnt feel. I knew it! An Egg!
Almost instantly, Sage felt resistance. He was surprised, every other time in the past, when he activated the Merge technique it was like slipping a key into a keyhole and all he had to do was give it a turn to form the link. The Spirit Insect would then be completely under his control as if hed just grown another body part that had its own instincts and robot like brain. It felt like he had a little autonomous drone that he could give orders to. Amazed at the difficulty of performing the technique this time, Sage tried again, sending the Qi into the little egg with a bit more energy than usual, trying to overwhelm the resistance. Failing again, Sage was a bit discouraged. Maybe it really only works on the little things?
Pondering for a moment, Sage banished the thoughts of giving up and instead smiled. He was doing this with the spirit of science, right? What sort of scientist gives up after only two trials? He wet his lips and gathered his will, focusing intently on the little egg to watch for variations. Staring closely, he suddenly chuckled at his ineptitude and then started pulling tools out of his Storage Ring. A scientists best tool is careful observation! The more things I can measure, the more changes I will uncover.
In his past life hed only been a computer scientist, which wasnt much of a scientist after all, but hed still learned the basics of the scientific method in school. He wasnt an expert but he had more than a few tools for the different professions and within minutes he had set up an impromptu lab. Measuring the density of the energy around the egg, along with its temperature, mass, volume, and a couple other specialist tools that he wasnt sure what they measured. The tools certainly worked and were used by different professions but they werent professions hed practiced so he wasnt sure how they worked or what they measured.
After a quick check of all the readings, the final step was to focus his spiritual sense upon the egg and delve inside to watch the effect as he formed the seals with his hands and Qi again before sending the Merge technique inside. As the technique passed into the egg, Sage watched as a ghostly soul snake suddenly extended from the tiny embryo and slapped away the Qi technique. Pushing back against it till the energy of the technique was exhausted and it once again faded away.
It was at this point that the Twin Soul finally gave up its attack on Sages soul and slipped out of his body, swimming rapidly into the egg and wrapping itself protectively around the embryo. Sage was surprised, and also intrigued. Does the Insect Immortal Index only work on small creatures because their larger and more powerful ones have stronger souls and consciousnesses that fight back? Was it possible for him to subdue the pair of souls and complete the link?
