{People from different worlds, like myself, are here too?}
[Yes. I know it's very unsettling to hear-]
{Well...shit}
[That...was a far more reasonable reaction than what I expected. Aren't you concerned?]
{Oh, most definitely. There's just so much shit to juggle now, I can't even afford to waste my ti freaking out about it-!?}
WOOOOO!
The very embodint of the late "Rei Sano's" will nad Notitia, who now assud the forr's form in this white space... His ethereal body had begun to flicker and fade even more now!
[Can't stay here much longer]
{Why are you fading exactly? All you ntioned was that my lding Rei's and Isshiki's chakra into one was the cause}
[I was created through you and Rei, the latter of whom has already ascended to the "Pure World". Now that his chakra is being consud as materials to create a unique one just for you, there's nothing left to anchor
to this plane. I need to finish things before the Black Gem swallows
whole]
{Wait--What? It's...gonna eat you? Now you've lost ...again}
[Let
get to main point. Raymond, we need to temporarily sever our connection to the others]
Looking out into the distance, the reborn engineer gazed at the galaxies above him. The dazzling sight, representing the worlds of those unaffiliated with him, consistently srized him
{By the others, you an all those people with "Soul Spaces" of their own, working for the--um, Interloper?}
[When the Black Gem, your subconscious given form, consus ...it'll take over my role. Inheriting everything that I am when I'm gone, just like with Isshiki's soul. Only when that's done can we-!]
{Ti out! Y-You just glossed over sothing kind of important. How in the hell did I ever obtain Isshiki's soul? I get having his chakra due to incorporating his DNA, but there shouldn't have been anything else}
With this query, the ever-disappearing Notitia stepped away from Raymond, shooting a quick glance at the swirling lights dwelling outside the Soul Space
[Do you know how or why these foreigners, like the Interloper, are so powerful? What makes them different from this world's citizens on a fundantal level?]
Thinking back to his initial studies of chakra and its relationship with matter, energy, and people... Raymond noticed those untouched by the Sage of Six Paths were different due to one single factor...
{Their souls. We never received the gift of chakra, of Spiritual Energy from Hagoromo ??tsutsuki}
[A half-right answer. What makes you different is indeed your souls, but it's not about chakra. Foreigners like you, your souls are of, shall we say...higher quality. Especially yours in particular, compared to the those out there...it's like a massive black hole]
{...Did you just take a shot at ?}
[Haaa...focus please. Let's start with Isshiki's soul. First question, how did you even manage to obtain it at all?]
{I can only assu it has sothing to do with my body's remodeling, via his machines and DNA. Right after I killed him}
[??tsutsuki digitize their genetic information into others, correlating to their parasitic nature. When the host's geno is completely changed to their liking, the alien takes over the body. When you entered that machine, altering your form for the first ti, the process was the closest thing to a-]
{That damn stigma...Karma. But still, it's just
incorporating his genes to make myself stronger, I shouldn't have served as a reciprocal for him. I don't have any marks or seals on
either...}
Due to Isshiki having yet not t his future head of R&D, Amado, he attempted to use the giant centrifuge chamber in his lab to forcibly create potential "vessels"
All in hopes of increasing their compatibility with Karma, and hasten his transference
[I never said he used Karma on you]
{Huh?}
[The machine never worked for him since he lacked your technical expertise, hence all the failures he had. Its primary purpose was to create an imdiate, compatible host, therefore bypassing the waiting process for Karma. It only worked for you due to the tweaks you made, albeit with my instruction]
{In other words, I beca a perfect "vessel" for him...but how did he remain in this plane? Especially after what I did to him? So things aren't adding up...}
Raymond remained skeptical at Notitia's claim. Wondering how Isshiki, after having been decapitated and reduced to nothing but dust and ash... could possibly be alive in such a state...
[Is it really so hard to believe? According to your knowledge of the future, isn't Obito Uchiha set on doing the sa when he died? The last bit of chakra he had, bestowed upon his best friend...Kakashi Hatake]
{Ah! You an...?!}
[His body may have been reduced in pieces, but the lifeforce of an ??tsutsuki is more tenacious than a cockroach. Their chakra and souls can linger in the real world for so ti, even after their bodies have been destroyed]
{His chakra sought
out, even after I destroyed him...!}
[Which wasn't hard considering you took in his flesh, also containing his chakra. Desperate to latch on to the nearest living thing that could contain him, you were the obvious choice. His soul was instantly drawn to you, but sothing unexpected happened in the process...]
{Does it have sothing to do with what you said earlier?}
[Yes. Outsider beings like yourself possess incredibly powerful souls of higher quality. Greater than any human or ??tsutsuki. Judging from the information the Black Gem has provided, I'd say the place you hail from is on a higher scale. Like comparing a two dinsional being to a third...]
{If that's true, Isshiki definitely got more than he bargained for}
[Isshiki doesn't exist anymore. Instead of taking over your body, your soul easily managed to devour his, in its entirety. His "Will" completely eroded into oblivion, leaving nothing but his mories...mories your "Will" now contains]
{Everything?!}
Raymond smiled as if he won the lottery, for clarity had finally co at last. He always wondered how "Neo-Rei
