676 They Are Eating My Arms Up!
“Phew! Let’s do it!” I took a deep breath before starting to do this task. I first led the one above into the hole before letting the second heart fall freely into that hole.
In less than a minute, the two hearts were placed at the deepest point of the holes I dug.
“Now my blood,” I already prepared lots of arms around me and started to let them take my blood over. I had to wound myself again, as the previous wound had healed a long time ago.
My blood felt a little weird. Previously, it was dark red, seemingly close to purple. But right now it changed to show a faint blue lustre while the redness became fainter.
I knew it was changing as it affected my energy. However, it was becoming closer to my energy colour, not like any colour of human blood at all.
I didn’t have time to worry about that. Once I started to gush out my blood, I circulated my spiritual energy to replenish the loss.
As for my arms, they started taking out my blood and delivering it to the holes up and down. I controlled them to act like a basin, having a deep groove at each one of them.
One by one they kept taking my blood and placing it over the basins of other arms. As two arms got filled with blood, they started moving to deliver them to the two hearts.
*Rumble!*
*Rumble!*
In fact, I didn’t know how much blood was needed for this process to start and finish. But when my blood touched the hearts, a loud rumbling occurred both up and down below.
It felt like two violent earthquakes happened, with the focus being the hearts.
[It’s enough!] just as I was about to collect more blood, the sound of Sith came to save me from such torture, [Now just wait until the two hearts start the connection, then release your technique]
“What connection?” I didn’t get what he said, but he never answered. Before long, I realised what he was speaking about.
As I didn’t need to deliver anymore blood, I just focused on the changes happening at the two holes.
The rumblings and quakings weren’t the only things that happened from the hearts. The two hearts seemed right now more like seeds of great trees, more than just two pieces of beautifully looking ores.
They dealt with my blood as if it was water! Those rumblings and quakes were nothing but an aftermath of the grand roots that started to spread fast from these two.
In a span of a few minutes, the roots grew thick enough to be pillars holding the sky itself! They stretched everywhere, spanning and fanning out, branching in every direction without any sign of pause.
And when that happened, I started to feel something.
There were still few arms there in the two holes. Just as I was inspecting the changes using these arms as sensors and eyes of mine, I felt sudden blackness as if I got blind and cut off all my senses!
“Damn! They ate up my arms!!” I opened my eyes and looked up at the hole above and the one below. Both got my arms nearby, not even stopping at the ones inside the holes.
It felt like they were acting like black holes, sucking up anything near them. But they only sucked my arms, and weirdly enough they didn’t destroy or crush them.
They just attracted and pulled the arms towards the holes, making them go towards the hearts directly. Each arm I was using to see what was going on had to sever the connection with me.
In return for that, a new type of connection started to develop. It felt like I had a pet, breathing warmly by my side, closing up his eyes, and leaning his head over my lap.
It was weird! But that connection grew stronger the more arms got sucked into it. In ten minutes, all the arms I had were sucked towards the two holes, before the big black sphere I left inside the upper continent started to slowly come out from its deep place.
It felt like something was pulling it out, slowly yet steadily. I watched in awe my fierce technique coming out before it got slashed by an unseen sword, cutting it into two halves.
One fell slowly down towards the hole at Earth, and the other went up towards the hole of the continent.
I looked using my Hawk Eye skill at the two hemi-spheres moving in such slow motion towards the holes.
They looked all black from the inside, with nothing special about it except for a few dancing arcs of black lightning that appeared every now and then.
“Is this… Normal?!!” I never expected such a thing to happen.
[It’s not expected I have to admit, but it’s not that bad] even Sith never expected such a thing. But as he said that everything was fine, then there was nothing to worry about.
I thought that I had to cancel my technique once the merge would start. But weirdly enough, these hearts seemed to have an appetite for my technique and arms.
I had to wait until the two hemi-sphere would get to the hearts to see what was going to happen.
That weird connection was another thing I had to think about and explore further. When I looked, I couldn’t find anything that caused that connection.
Yet it was growing stronger with each passing minute, as if it was coming up from my soul itself.
This… Was really weird!
[It’s normal. The connection is one that comes from your blood. So stop looking for its source, as it’s you the one who is forming that connection]
Sith’s deep voice came to shed away any fog in front of my mind. I got what was happening right now. And he confirmed my guesses with what he added next.
[That’s why having a kingdom heart meant the kingdom won’t fall except if its lord is killed… ]
