Ruler's Awakening: Inheritor of the SSS-Rank Dimensional Talent-Chapter 156: Supreme Soul Features

"Lucy? But how?"

"She planted her soul consciousness when she gave me her talent," Aaron replied.

He tried to get up from his sleeping position on Aerith’s lap. Aaron sat on the floor of the Dark Dimension, his eyes focused on Isabella’s body lying there, the wound on her stomach had disappeared and closed.

"Isabella!"

Aaron responded by stepping closer to the woman, but he fell back to his knees with his head throbbing dizzily. He held his head and continued to grimace in pain, Aerith came to calm him down.

"Calm down, Aaron. Your mind is unstable and Azazel’s power seems to be affecting your mind a lot."

The man cleared his throat in agreement, taking a deep breath to ease the symptoms of pain in his head.

His eyes opened, seeing Isabella lying dead with her eyes closed. Aerith noticed that Aaron was about to walk over to the woman.

"She’ll be here with me," Aerith replied.

To ease the anxiety in Aaron’s heart, Aerith showed her palm and brought out a maroon orb that looked transparent. What was inside the magic orb was surprising to Aaron.

"T-That... isn’t that Isabella’s soul?" asked Aaron, curious.

"That’s right. But, since Isabella’s soul is classified as a white or pure soul, I can’t resurrect her," said Aerith.

"What do you mean?" asked Aaron.

Aerith explained there are two types of soul categories when someone dies, more of an attitude scale. If the scales are heavier to the left, then the soul is categorized as an evil Dark soul.

Pure souls were obtained if the scales were heavier to the right, it was beyond Aerith’s power. There are many things affecting the scales, one of which depends on the attitude of the individual when they were alive.

Doing a lot of good, being a wise leader, being generous, charitable, forgiving, and so on can make one’s soul Pure.

If, however, the person does a lot of evil such as stealing, lying, killing, betraying, and so on, his soul becomes Dark.

A distinctive trait of the difference between the two categories of souls was the color of their souls when taken from their bodies: White was the color of the Pure soul, while Red was the color of the Dark soul.

"Then what should I do?" asked Aaron, curious.

"A mage must have a high soul level to perform reincarnation or soul transmigration," Aerith replied, stepping closer to Isabella who lay on the floor of the Dark Dimension.

Aaron remembered one of the features that had been unlocked as his individual level rose. He opened the system panel and saw that the soul feature was at the very bottom, the last feature in the panel’s menu.

[Soul Panel]

[Name: Aaron]

[Level: 325]

[Soul Essence Level: 1]

[Soul Essence: 0/100000]

[Soul Power:]

[1. Soul Intervention] [250000 MP]

[2. Astral Force] [500000 MP]

[Soul intervention is taking over or creating a clone of the host soul in the target’s body. The target’s soul falls asleep when possessed]

[Astral Force is a method to kill the soul of a living being without physically harming the target]

[Soul Awakening opens when Soul Lv. reaches level 3]

[Planetary Ascend opens when Soul Lv. reaches level 5]

[Soul Reincarnation opens when Soul Lv. reaches level 7]

[Soul Transmigration opens when Soul Lv. reaches level 7]

Aaron clearly saw that he could also perform the soul awakening, planetary ascend, soul reincarnation, and soul transmigration instructions. For Soul Intervention and Astral Force, Aaron could tell the usefulness of both.

"Since you’ve surpassed the 300 level, then the last feature on your panel will be unlocked. The soul feature is the most powerful among the other features, but the MP consumption will be huge, exceeding the MP consumption for talents and servants," Aerith replied.

"What is Soul Awakening? Ascend Planet? Reincarnation and Soul Transmigration?" asked Aaron, wanting to know what the four powers were for so he could determine other objectives.

Aerith smiled. She explained that Soul Awakening was a method to allow someone to use their soul abilities, even if they hadn’t reached level 300. Aerith gave a simple example.

"If Sara wants to control someone when she has no astral projection ability, then you can use Soul Awakening to trigger Sara to be able to control her soul out of her body."

"However, that’s limited. Her soul only lasts for an hour after leaving her body. If it doesn’t return soon, she’ll fall into a coma," Aerith replied.

Aaron understood, it was quite dangerous for him but he was sure it would be useful in the future. Aerith continued to explain about Ascend Planet.

There are several ways to Ascend Planet, but the safest one was to use planetary teleportation or soul power.

"Since Earth has not joined the universe’s magic ring, interplanetary teleportation magic does not apply here. With the Ascend Planet ability, you can go to other planets easily."

"You will fly through the atmosphere at the speed of light. Don’t worry, the power of your soul will protect the mass in your body, you won’t die from the pressure between space and time," Aerith said.

"I understand."

The woman before Aaron put Isabella’s soul ball back into storage, she stepped quietly towards Aaron with a smile. Aerith explained the last two abilities in the supreme soul panel.

Reincarnation and Soul Transmigration allowed Aaron to send the soul of someone who had died to a new life or take over someone’s body for good.

Reincarnation only applies to newborn targets, a maximum of 60 days of infant age before the main soul has formed. By the time it happens, the memories of the previous life are erased.

Soul Transmigration applies to all targets, including infants, children, teenagers, adults, and the elderly.

There is no time limit and no requirements. The memories of the previous life will remain in the new body and synchronize with the memories of the new target.

"So, the best option is to perform soul transmigration for Isabella?" Aaron asked, Aerith agreed.

"That’s right. But, there isn’t a single person on Earth who can reach the highest soul level, which is level 7."

"Why?"

"Soul Vials are not found on Earth, even though the resources are so abundantly provided. I suspect that the Great Ruler doesn’t understand the extraction of soul essence," Aerith replied.

"Then if the Soul Vial isn’t found, how can I level up my soul?"

Aerith said the only way was to crudely consume the souls of living beings. Monsters, mythological races, or slain humans still kept their souls before disappearing. When that happened, Aaron had to take their soul essence and consume it.

The woman showed him the way to perform soul essence consumption. She took out one piece of soul essence and held it in her right hand. Aerith summoned magic light at her fingertips, then directed the magic at the soul essence ball.

As Aaron watched closely, he saw the orb crack and shatter. Aerith directed the soul essence inside into her body through her forehead. Aaron saw how easy it was to do that.

Aerith handed the soul essence of Luke’s red snake dragon to Aaron and asked the man to perform the soul essence extraction. Aaron said yes.

He did exactly as Aerith had shown him. The magic pressure was quite strong when he did it, even though the orb had not been completely destroyed.

[Soul Extraction Process]

[Contacting a pure evil soul can affect the mind and heart]

[Name: Blood Red Dragon Snake rune]

[Form: Soul]

[Soul Lv: 5]

[Starts the soul extraction process]

The soul essence orb cracked and shattered, revealing a small-sized red snake dragon form above Aaron’s palm. Guided by purple magic, Aaron directed the soul towards his forehead.

[Soul Extraction Successful]

[Soul Essence gained: +15]

[Soul Essence: 15/100000]

A soul essence panel appeared in front of Aaron, a sign that he knew how to obtain soul essence from living beings. Still, the soul level of the living creatures raised questions in his head.

"What’s the difference between soul level and soul essence level?" asked Aaron.

"The soul level is determined based on their individual level. Before their level reached 300, the highest soul level they could receive was level 50."

"This means that for every 30 increase in individual level, they get 5 increases in soul level."

"Does that mean my soul level is useless?" asked Aaron.

"Your soul level has been upgraded to soul essence level, of course, so that you can use the abilities in the supreme soul feature," Aerith replied.

Aaron nodded in agreement, fully understanding every sentence Aerith explained. The woman tried to calm Aaron down by saying Isabella’s soul was safe with her, she had no time limit until getting her soul transmigration.

"Even so, don’t keep her cooped up too long in this ball of soul essence. You have to do a lot of soul extraction to increase your soul essence."

"I understand."
