Seated in an auditorium, Jyorta looked at the ongoing lecture with attentiveness, scribbling notes in his notebook. He tapped the pen on his chin while in thought or lightly drumd it on the notebook when the lecturer took a break. It was his usual in a lecture.
Suddenly, blue radiance exited from his blue soul, taking a corporeal form, turning into the figure of the creepy-haired man. Jyorta didn't seem able to detect his existence, continuing with taking his notes.
When the lecturer took a break, after having taught for an hour without rest, Haesha leaned closer to his ear, whispering, "I heard so people on the back talk about Laila leaving the academy for the sa reason as you today."
"Really?" Jyorta was surprised, unable to comprehend the reason before he thought of their identities, realising that Psychic Ancestor Marble might have sothing to do with it, "Did they say anything else?"
"No," Haesha shook her head, "What they said might very well be rumours. Still, they claid a couple of staff had been conversing about it this morning. It does seem surprising since she's not from an Aristocratic Family. So, there doesn't seem any possibility of her undertaking a dangerous experint that might have incited trouble in her body right at this ti."
"No, the possibility is not slim," Jyorta shook his head, "Her father is a Transforr. And from what I know, he has a powerful administrative position in our 7th Ring."
"I see," Haesha nodded, "Still, it is surprising that this is the second ti soone has left the military academy."
"Ancestor Marble, if you really cannot say, just say so. Please don't lie to . I feel my intelligence as a Sky Controller is insulted every ti you do so." Madam Mary frowned, gazing at a corner of the principal room where the marble figure had appeared.
"Fine," The marble figure sighed, "It is just to curb my worries. On the off chance, Jyorta goes ballistic, and none of us are around, we need soone to keep him in check. And, the only candidate perfect for this is the sole individual who had outperford him every month in this military academy."
The marble figure folded its hands, "So, I am just implanting a thod of Mind path in her body that would activate in tis of necessity."
"Why a Mind path?" Madam Mary frowned, still expressing her doubt.
"It is to prevent anyone from finding it out," The magenta figure laughed, "Also, the Mind path is the only path that can significantly affect the Soul path. And, we have Deific Inference to achieve it."
"Fine," Madam Mary massaged her brows, sighing, "A Cadet leaving the military academy has been unprecedented ever since its establishnt. But last year, Jyorta was the first to break it, and now Laila does it again."
"Unprecedented only ans no one has done it before, not sothing no one could accomplish." The magenta figure said its final sentence before disappearing, "In the silicon era, superhumans were unprecedented."
The creepy-haired man glanced at Jyorta for a mont, heaving a sigh after sensing that he hadn't noticed his existence. He then gazed towards the north-east, frowning, 'You really have an endless appetite, Gajara. But, I hope you don't interfere with my plans any longer.'
He then looked at Jyorta, sighing, 'But, the mont I take action, it ans I would have to expend most of the arrangents I placed in him, save for the final arrangent. Nonetheless, Gajara is targeting my final, most important arrangent. So, I have to take action or my plans would fall short.'
He inspected Jyorta's state, heaving a sigh of relief, 'Thankfully, Jyorta's developnt exceeds my expectation ti and again. Even without my arrangents guiding him, he would still grow to surpass my expectations. Jyovic Bone, Mary Veera, Atika Light, Strongest, Marble, and even Light; with such individuals taking care of him, I don't need to fret. He'll definitely grow up to beco a force that would stand against Parasite.'
'What else have I missed?' He tapped his chin, 'I already destroyed Gajara's arrangent in Heima, and Jyorta defeated Ehara Gobi in the ntal Realm. Alright, there doesn't seem to be anything else that needs my intervention.'
His figure broke down into specks of light, turning corporeal as they vanished, appearing in the sa place but in the ntal Realm. It travelled at the speed of light, seeping into a giant that was walking through a corner of the ntal Realm, its destination being the humanoid-serpent.
The mont the radiance entered its form, the giant stopped moving, turning around as it headed towards one corner of the ntal Realm, away from being detected by any beings that would arrive during their breakthrough. It then lay around the edge, assimilating with the landscape to avoid showcasing its existence.
This giant was a condensation of all the creepy-haired man's experience fragnts. Of course, Gajara Rahi would never forget about them. So, she had also sent a subsoul to collect it. Moreover, it was her first target.
After a century, all his experience fragnts in the ntal Realm had been collected and condensed into the giant. The creepy-haired man ca to know of her plans and used it to make an arrangent to help Jyorta.
Though, he didn't try to affect any of the other giants, only stopping his giant from facing off against the humanoid-serpent.
In the battlefield, the place in the ntal Realm next to Dawn City, the humanoid-serpent panted, having just finished devouring the experience fragnts of the final giantthat belonged to an Ancestor.
It frowned, thinking, 'The tubed freak's form, and Strongest's form hasn't arrived. Or maybe sothing happened to their forms.'
It then looked at the smaller giants that looked no different from a Tier 5 Cogent Phrenics, frowning again, 'Atika Light's form is absent too. Just what is happening?'
It was worried, unable to obtain the experience fragnts of three individuals it had looked forward to the most. It then slamd with its tail, flattening all the Tier 5 Cogent Phrenics that had arrived, destroying their Will before starting to absorb their experience fragnts.
"Woof!" Followed by a dog's bark, the Mind Hound appeared at the scene. Even though it was far away, the humanoid-serpent panicked. Without any hesitation, it stopped absorbing the experience fragnts of the Tier 5 Cogent Phrenics, only taking the ones she had obtained till now, not showing even a fragnt of greed or pity.
Near its tail, there existed a tiny serpentine form, possessing a core in its centre. The tendrils constricting its form moved, destroying it completely. The tail moved a little and swallowed its experience fragnts, including the core.
The mont the core touched its form, it disappeared from the ntal Realm, returning to reality. Before disappearing, the humanoid-serpent gazed at the Mind Hound, watching it teleport before its face from beyond the horizon.
Before its canine mouth could clamp on it, the humanoid-serpent disappeared, sporting a smile while hearing the resounding barks from the attacker.
Of the subsouls Gajara Rahi had released into the ntal Realm, targeting the experience fragnts of the Ancestors, one of them was allotted to her ownthe experience fragnts she had lost in the ntal Realm during her five breakthroughs.
But, unlike the others, her experience fragnts contained the essence of hera Psychic Parasitethat subtly changed it. It didn't build up strength and bulk up in size like the others but slowly enriched its own existence, turning sentient over the decades.
It had beco the first sentient creature of the ntal Realm. Moreover, the ego of the subsoul forming it had long been assimilated by the ntal Realm. And, when it gained sentience, it established a connection with the ntal Realm, inheriting its ego.
It was the ntal Realm's consciousness, a manifestation of the entire Realm. That was why the humanoid-serpent didn't hesitate to retreat, unwilling to encounter the Mind Hound. A battle would an its defeat. After all, its opponent was the entire ntal Realm.
If Laila had the confidence to go against the ntal Realm, she would have attempted this process during her breakthrough to Tier 6. At that ti, she would have developed to even greater heights. But, since she made use of the loophole in the ntal Realm laws, it showed she didn't have the confidence in going against them.
The Mind Hound barked a couple of tis, turning around to see a large stream of experience fragnts floating around, the Will in them having been extinguished. It was what Laila's humanoid-serpent form had left behind and escaped without absorbing.
It sniffed through the stream, uninterested in the Tier 5 experience fragnts. It continued to sniff for a while, finally barking in joy as it dug through a pile, pulling out an experience fragnt that it swallowed. It seed to have originated from Laila's form.
Even though she tried to prevent losing any of her experience fragnts, the battle was insanely tough where she almost lost her life nurous tis. So, there were situations where so of her experience fragnts flew away before she could pull them back.
The Mind Hound scoured through the pile and barked in joy every ti it found one of Laila's experience fragnts. Once it swallowed a certain quantity of them, a change enveloped, subtly affecting it.
The Mind Hound barked, causing the sound to be transmitted throughout the ntal Realm. It was the sa technique the humanoid-serpent had used the mont it entered the ntal Realm. It was how it could summon all the giants towards it. It was a summoning call of sorts, one that would make the target approach it.
Now, after absorbing enough of Laila's experience fragnts, it gained this ability. The Mind Hound barked in joy, wagging the serpentine tail attached to its head, in place of the neck. It then barked again, watching so Cogent Phrenics slowly move towards its location.
It ant so of Laila's, or to be precise, Gajara Rahi's experience fragnts were in them, no matter how little. The Mind Hound barked once before jumping onto the nearest Cogent Phrenics, attacking it with its lick attacks. It corroded their Wills, destroyed their forms, sniffed out Gajara Rahi's experience fragnts in them, and devoured them happily.
