Chapter 31: Timing
Layton who watched zero leave breathed a sigh of relief, he did not want to waste more energy continuing the charade. Although he could really influence the plane he couldn’t do the kind of large scale precise manipulation he had shown before zero, he had only been able to achieve this because of zero, when she had used her mystery in the red lotus headquarters the planes will by instinct collected and gathered the traces of the energy she had used there and then.
Layton taking advantage of the opportunity siphoned most of the energy.
The unique mystery gave him the idea of executing a drastic plan, after all, he was not going to escape from the plane anytime soon he might as well use the opportunity to try and achieve some of the crazy plans and theories that he had thought of during his days of boredom when connected to the will of the plane.
Using part of the energy he had managed to create an incarnation, he himself wasn’t really sure how he did it, he just made use of the mystery’s reality twisting property to make the plane will agree to his request of creating an incarnation, although he was temporarily free and could wander around the plane to experience various things himself Layton did not plan on doing so, after leaving zero he appeared back in the centre of the plane where his body was still restricted, the body making use of his enhanced computational power quickly understood the martial cheats zero had developed before and then modified it some more to perfectly fit the characteristics of the plane.
The first cheats zero had modified was simple it was simply a bunch of movements that would make the body attune to the same frequency as that of the spirit particles thus making it possible for the practitioner of the cheat to be able to use and strike harnessing the spirit energy in their moves, making it able to directly deal fatal damage to the spirit creatures, strengthening the body was mainly a side effect of the practice.
Reading the cheat Layton could quickly infer that zero was mainly aiming at the non-bender population of the plane, although benders could be seen everywhere the fact was that the ratio of bender and non-benders was unequal, in every 100 humans there were basically no more than 10 benders, by giving this practice zero was mainly hoping for a revolution or civil war between benders and non-benders and the practice cheat was to be the fuse if she was successful she would have created enough influence for her to be able to leave the plane normally by the dimensional eroder.
Although with some pushes and influence her plan was likely to come into fruition but ultimately it would end in a crushing defeat by the benders, what she did not know then was that as the spirit plane got closer and more connected to the material world the benders who are more attuned to the spirit world would easily harness the spirit particles and their powers would undergo a drastic increase, even with the increase of the spirit energy concentration more benders would be born making the war she planned become a short-lived and fruitless one.
.....
This knowledge was part of the information he had sent to zero which had further convinced her to join his plan and give up her scheming.
Although zero’s plan was not going to be used she still needed the practice to spread to create her mystery, which would be good both for her and him, the more times she used it the more traces she would leave and the traces would help Layton in manipulating the plane and researching the spirit world and his rune making his wizarding path more complete.
Layton modified the cheat a little and used the remaining of the scarce mystery traces he had to embed the information of both the cheat and his clone who had been turned into spirit particles in the plane will, from now on through a series of coincidences various non bender martial artists would ‘discover’ the unique way of using spirit energy and it would soon spread around the world, the newly discovered practice would contain fragments of Layton’s spirit which would be embed in them granting them similar powers and access to his domineering rune giving them more chips that would enable them able to fully threaten both benders and spirit creatures, the more people practice the more zero memetic information would spread and the more insights and applications of his rune Layton would get, it was equivalent to millions of people researching and practicing for him. as soon as this was done Layton turned his attention back to his rune and the arduous task of fully combining the spirit and material world while delaying the awakening of the plane consciousness, if his plan was to be successful both worlds needed to be successfully combined in a year, which was also the amount of time it would take for the plane will to become awake and take full control of the plane.
During this time, it was zero’s job to make sure all preparation that needed to be done in the material world was achieved, and she also needed to keep an eye on the arrogant vampire wizard making sure he didn’t turn the whole too many humans to his kin as doing so would greatly increase the time for the plane will to become conscious.
