[I found traces of spatial engineering!]
Lee halted his steps as he heard D. His pupils dilated and a wave of goosebumps went over him. The ladies stepped forward, leaving the statue behind.
"Wut?"
Instead of ntally delivering the reply, Lee unconsciously spoke out his thoughts and the heads turned to him. The unseen expression on Lee's face made the ladies curious. Gauthama noticed a slightly increased pace in his heartbeats.
"I will be right back."
Lee turned around and stepped towards the shades of the trees. The long green leaves of the densely packed Coconut trees casted it's shadows on the ground and Lee found a seat beneath them. The Perrafin and Fero ca near Lee and sat close to him. Cross-legged, he saw Gauthama teaching the ladies a set of gentle evasive movents.
'D, speak.'
Lee rubbed Perrafin's forehead as Fero placed it's head on his lap.
[It is as I said. I have detected very extensive spatial engineering from the soul and the scythe. It took a while to identify and piece together the clues. If I am not wrong, then the soul and the scythe cooperatively manifested the livable sub-space.]
Lee withdrew his consciousness into the chamber, while keeping an eye on the surroundings. As Lee materialised, he saw D standing next to the prison seal while rubbing his chin.
"Do you need more Mana?"
D took a glimpse of him over his shoulder and focused back to the cube.
"It would be helpful if you can provide so. The Life and Nature affinities you refilled before, has almost completely faded away. The soul is no longer fighting back or resisting the Mana."
D opened a small hole on the upper right portion of the cube face. Lee increased the Mana usage and created a highly compressed and denser construct with Life affinity. Like a lab rat which had realised it's situation, the ghost glanced at the small hole and saw a much denser Mana construct flowing in. A painful moaning arose from the inside, but it did not slow down the refilling process.
The one-way transparent surface of the cube viewed Mana filling the insides of the cube. The fading reddish hue left the apparition almost colourless and translucent. The previous aggressiveness and hostility was non-existent. The Light-Splitter fragnts were retracted and did not poke on the ghost anymore.
"Slowly, we would be able to put up an intelligible conversation with the apparition. But how long will it take to achieve that stage, is a mystery for us."
Lee nodded at D's statent. Then he rembered about D's initial statent that froze him in his tracks.
"How did you detect the traces of spatial engineering?"
"Oh that..!"
D replied, and waved his hand. A table rose up from the floor, and the scythe appeared on it.
"Do you see any difference from how it looked before releasing the seal?"
Lee took the scythe into his hand and observed it from every angle. He couldn't find any changes, except the blade had a red hue.
"The blade has a tinge of red colour."
D nodded with a smile.
"Exactly. The blade's colour was previously grey. That change is of great importance, as the souls were trapped to the blade." (D)
"So the colour change and spatial engineering are related, right?" (Lee)
"The Sinorite is actually a pale red coloured tal, and has an innate characteristic to induce dreams. When corrupted, it induces nightmares and turns grey." (D)
"So the spatial engineering you ntioned was to materialise the nightmare into a reality, and the corruption was the apparition." (Lee)
"Yes. And coincidentally I detected Space law from the ghost in prison. It was dim, but well hidden. The concealnt fell off when it beca weak after reacting with the Life affinity imbued Mana."
Lee shuffled his sight between the apparition and the scythe for about a minute.
"How do you know about spatial engineering?"
Lee doubted the sovereign's intellect. In fact, he was curious about the boundless pit of D's knowledge.
"Rember a bunch of books you acquired while looting the slave trading facility in Alls city?" (D)
"Yes, one of them was Codex Fero. Why?" (Lee)
"After becoming a system, acquiring knowledge beca much easier. So I digested those books, except Codex Fero." (D)
"That is good to hear. Did you pick up anything about how to do spatial engineering?" (Lee)
"I have acquired deep knowledge about it. But the faint chances of success and its unpredictable consequences cannot be taken lightly. A slight mishap and we all will seize to exist." (D)
"Then we can only wait and communicate with that soul." (Lee)
The ghost was slowly turning translucent as it sunk in the Mana. Lee noticed the change of air around it. The nacing atmosphere had been replaced by tranquility. The amorphous figure was slightly moulding itself into a aningful form. Sensing Lee's intense observation, D assured him.
"I will let you know when anything happens."
Lee nodde without looking at D, as his focus went on to the scythe.
"D, upgrade the scythe to Mid Iron grade, and change its na to Reaper."
Lee vanished from the chamber as he placed the scythe on the table. His consciousness ca back to reality, and he opened his eyes to see An and Mia sparring. The Perrafin sensed Lee moving slightly, and it raised the head to look at him. Noticing his stable and immovable physique, the Perrafin deduced that the slight movent was unintentional.
[I don't know whether you need them or not, but there are a lot of spikes and clubs in EsGen. You can sell them to the Shop, if they are useless.]
'Then sell them please.'
[47 spikes and 53 clubs sold. A few other things were also present. Total 146 Essence earned.]
Lee was silent for a few minutes, as his mind went into deep contemplation. His eyes went beyond his companions and stared into the horizon.
'D, calculate the probability of successful spatial engineering, and creating a stable habitable sub-space.'
[Currently, it is far too low to even think about it. But that does not an that it is impossible. We have a spatial ring made of Vixen Phoenix's bone and Gargantua Rock. It is Lower Silver graded and can barely sustain such an intense operation. The Sinorite tal from the scythe is far from being enough to successfully manifest a habitable sub-space. The demand of the tal will increase exponentially for even an inch of space. And most importantly, without the knowledge of the soul in prison formation, I will be inadequate to execute such a dangerous mission alone.]
Lee was focused on the possibility of creating a livable sub-space. Though the chances are small as a sliver, he wanted to grab onto that strand of hope. His thinking capability has proved that the existence of a subspace will only do benefit for him. In any way the EsGen can be fused with that sub-space, the harvest of Essence can be upgraded to good extent. The Perrafin and Fero will have space to move, while it needs to be suspended in EsGen. In much simpler terms, the friendly units can be inhabited in the subspace, while hostile beings can be stored in the EsGen.
