Chapter 262 261: Surprise, Shock, Bafflement & Fear

The moment Corey went unconscious, his vision changed. He was no longer in the Evolution Center, but was now in a very familiar place.

"My spiritual sea of consciousness."

Corey mumbled as he looked at the vast sea that seemed to possess no end.

His memories of this place was not pleasant. From what he could remember, 'he' was chained up by the second personality, and he spent a very long time in his spiritual sea of consciousness.

Remembering the slight opportunity he had to escape the bindings of the other personality, he could not help but wonder about the condition of the other personality.

Was it dead?

Was it alive?

Was it chained up like it?

It did not know, and he wasn't too curious about the condition of the other personality.

Corey looked around, and a baffled expression appeared on his face.

'Now that I think about it. I should not-'

The moment Corey was about to have a certain thought, Corey's eyes turned blank, and his face grimaced in slight pain.

A second later, his eyes returned back to normal.

He then furrowed his brows as he looked around, and his gaze was instantly drawn to the foreign presence that was in his sea of consciousness.

He saw the finger floating some meters away from him, a hazy figure that was covered in a black mist hovered beside the finger.

When Corey saw the hazy figure, Corey knew that the figure was the source of the creepy voice from the finger.

Corey squinted his eyes as he tried to discern the details of the hazy and misty figure, but no matter how much he tried, he got nothing.

It was more like the figure was far beyond his understanding, and senses. Despite this, Corey tried to think of ways he could defeat this figure.

Previously, when Nina told him that he had a way of defeating the figure, he thought that he would have to fight a finger with unknown abilities. But, now that the fight was in his sea of consciousness, he finally thought of a way he could defeat the figure.

His mind went to one of the new skills he learnt- Soul Entropy.

[Soul Entropy: A forbidden skill that accelerates the decay of a person's essence, shortening their life span. Has the potential to affect an individual's soul.]

Soul Entropy was a unique skill due to the fact that it could affect the soul.

Skills that affected the soul were considered extremely dangerous, and some top tier forces even called them forbidden skills.

Corey did not know much about the soul.

Heck, his knowledge on the soul was barely up to 1%.

His knowledge on his sea of consciousness was also extremely low, but he had a feeling that the only way he could defeat this mysterious and strange entity was through the forbidden skill.

Corey was not wrong in his assumption at all.

Nina knew that Corey's chances of defeating the fragmented spirit in the finger was low, but if he could fight properly while using Soul Entropy, and a lot of other skills, he could defeat the fragmented spirit.

Heck, if Corey was talented in battling in his sea of consciousness, he would be able to give the fragmented spirit a run for its money despite its immense strength.

After observing Corey's entire being for quite some time, she knew some things about his body he did not know.

[Battling this thing as his first fight in his sea of consciousness should be a very valuable experience for him in the future.]

As Corey was observing the hazy figure, he noticed the figure look at him.

Although, he could not see the face of the figure, Corey could sense a tinge of surprise from the figure.

[How do you have this?]

[Why is your-?]

Once again, the instant the hazy figure said some words, Corey's eyes became blank, and a second later, his eyes returned back to normal.

The figure did not notice this slight change in Corey's eyes, but Nina did.

Though, she did nothing nor said nothing.

[-this large?]

Corey frowned as he looked at the figure which kept on speaking with a nonchalant tone. He felt like some words of the hazy figure were missing in his mind, but he naturally pushed such unimportant matters to the back of his mind.

Not bothering to notice the oddity.

Corey's remained calm, and his gaze looked like that of a predator waiting to strike with an uncanny accuracy.

The figure tilted his head as it looked at Corey, then a second later, its 'eyes' widened in shock as it observed Corey.

Obviously it had noticed Corey's strange gaze, but what its attention was drawn to was Corey's dual colored eyes.

[A Walker!]

[You're a damn mortal Walker!]

[HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!]

The grating and spine chilling laughter of the strange entity shook the sea that was in his entire sea of consciousness. The hazy figure's laughter was much louder than when it found out that Corey was a Demi-Paragon.

And why wouldn't it laugh?

It had just found a unique specimen that was a mortal Demi-Paragon and a damn mortal Walker at that!

Something which was extremely rare.

All his previous plans be damned!

He wanted this ant's body for itself!

He could use it to improve itself, overcome its peak, destroy certain individuals, and cause chaos in the material verse, and the immaterial verse!

HE WANTED THIS ANT!!!

The greed and ambition that was radiated by the hazy figure shook Corey, and Corey involuntary took a step back.

Sweat dropped from his forehead as he looked at the raging black mist surrounding the hazy figure.

Countless eyes and mouths appeared in the black mist, and Corey felt his scalp go numb at the aura those eyes, and mouths emitted.

Just as Corey was rapidly thinking of how to go about this predicament, a stunned expression appeared on his face.

He blinked once.

Then he blinked again with a baffled expression.

"Rhea?"

Corey subconsciously spoke as he looked at an immense figure that towered over everything in his sea of consciousness.

Except for the large white orb that seemed so far, and yet so near in his sea of consciousness.

The figure was a familiar titanic black bird with six wings- Rhea!

The hazy figure and the black mist trembled slightly as if it subconsciously noticed the presence of a creature that sent shivers down its spirit.

[What?]

The hazy figure turned, and its eyes widened as it saw the black eyes of a creature it could not recognize.

[What is-?]

PECK!

POOF
