The soul of Aster was at a loss, hearing Eren call him a Transmigrator. Other than the real Aster, no one knew that his soul wasn't sothing that ca from another world.
He didn't understand how this man knew about it. Was it because of so ability that allowed him to see through the mysteries of the universe? Or was he also...?
Just the possibility alone was enough to scare Aster. If Eren was also from his world, that ant he was also a Transmigrator.
He wanted to ask Eren why he was doing all this?! If he was also from earth, that ant they were on the sa side. Why was he trying to enslave him instead of working together? Did the world already corrupt him?
Unfortunately, he could not say anything. He could not even open his eyes as his body wasn't completely healed yet.
Eren also didn't know if the two souls inside Aster's body could hear him, but it didn't matter either. As long as the Seal was successfully casted with the help of the Ghost Queen, he was going to get another helper.
One of the goals before him was to kill all the Transmigrators. However, it was easier said than done, especially if he was all alone.
Moreover, Aster's ability itself was poison for him which he didn't want to drink. Instead, he would rather use that person until he ran out of uses.
As for killing Aster, it was sothing that he could do even in the future. With the Seal, it was as easy as snapping his fingers.
He needed Aster, it was an undeniable reality. Aster was the Vice Dean of the Academy. After Mist, he had the most control over the Academy.
Placing his puppet in the position of the Vice Dean was so lucrative that even he couldn't reject it. He also needed soone to keep an eye on Eldric and the Prophet after all.
Instead of finding ways to deal with the Prophet and risking exposure of his identity, he would rather use Aster in this ga of chess.
"You were right! There are two souls inside him! Even though I was trying to find it following your words, it was so weak that I wouldn't have noticed it." The Ghost Queen returned after preparing the necessary arrangents.
"Fortunately, for so reason, it beca more reactive suddenly which allowed to locate it."
Thanks to Eren's words, Aster's soul beca more reactive which allowed the Ghost Queen to locate it and plant an enslavent seal.
Eren had no way to confirm if she was telling the truth. He couldn't see through souls, let alone confirm the seals planted on them.
At that point, he asked the Ghost Queen to explain the chanism of the seal. While the Ghost Queen explained, Yelen confird that the sa changes had occurred in the soul of Aster.
"It was supposed to be my greatest creation, but in the end, it will only benefit you." After finishing the explanation, the Ghost Queen said in a grumpy and dissatisfied manner.
"More than Aster, I believe you will benefit ," Eren answered, not lying either.
If the Ghost Queen could actually bring people back to life as long as their souls weren't destroyed, her uses truly surpassed Aster in the least.
"Flattery won't work on ," Ghost Queen rolled her eyes. "Create a soul mark and place that over Aster's body and the seal will be completed."
Eren didn't argue with her either. He simply followed her instructions and created a soul mark which had his unique signature that couldn't be forged.
It was sothing that was connected to his soul, sothing that only he could sense and control. He used the soul mark to connect with the slave seal that was placed over the two souls in Aster's body.
With the Soul Mark being imprinted over Aster's body and soul, the process for the enslavent was finally completed.
"Now that you control him, you can erase all his mories or leave them be. It depends on you," Ghost Queen told Eren while suggesting him to leave the mories behind.
Without his mories of the Academy, it was almost impossible for Aster to successfully take control without being caught.
Eren also didn't plan to erase Aster's mories. One soul belonged to an earthling. If he erased the mories, there was no use of this Transmigrator. The second soul belonged to real Aster who was even more useful.
With real Aster being enslaved, he could ask him a lot of questions regarding the past. With others, he still had to be hesitant as he was worried that his identity was going to be exposed. With a slave like Aster, he didn't have to worry about it.
It was especially the case as Aster was also involved in the disappearance of the real Devourer, possibly even knowing the past of Ren Necroline that had always evaded him.
If things worked out as he planned, he wouldn't need to chase after the mory Fragnts. He could also have more information to deal with the Author when using the Question Voucher which was already in his inventory, waiting to be used.
He left the mories of these two souls intact, only making them serve him while still carrying their thoughts and mories.
With that, his role ca to an end. All that was left was for Ghost Queen to complete the healing process and bring Aster back to life.
For now, Eren could only stay back and watch.
He walked back to a distant table and sat on it, observing the body of Ancestral Elder Yang drying up as his life force was being forcefully sucked dry.
He didn't feel any pity for that person who had blackmailed him into coming here. If anything, he was quite pleased with it.
"That's what you-" He opened his lips to speak, only to stop abruptly as he felt a familiar aura spread across the entire academy.
"She is back?"
