Will of chaos

I decided to explain what I was going to do with the Phantom Orbs in detail to Hela and High Priest Henry.

It was no secret, I just hadn’t told anyone yet because I didn’t want anyone trying to stop my plans like when I tried to summon Ragnar and Hela.

The three of us were sitting at the table inside the hut, Henrique served tea, it was a tea made from a Poisonous plant, but it was very tasty, as we all have resistance to poisons we could enjoy this delicious tea that few dared to drink.

“When I first entered this land full of Undead and saw the Ghosts, I had an idea, so I started gathering the cores of the defeated Ghosts.” (I)

“My plan was to summon a Ghost or a spectral monster as a new Familiar or Minion.” (I)

“I can see a lot of problems with that plan.” (Henrique) 𝙗𝒆𝙙𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎

“Synthesising so many items would take a lot of time, plus the cores would have more than just spectral energy.” (Hela)

“Exactly as Miss Hela says, it could have been any Undead monster.” (Henrique)

“I didn’t know that, but it seems I did the right thing in changing my plans, but I did it with efficiency in mind.” (I)

“When Hela first managed to create the Phantom Orb in front of me, I was surprised by the item description I got of my skill and the things Hela told me about its uses.” (I)

“I realized that I could use the Phantom Orb for summoning, it would save me a lot of trouble with synthesizing Phantom cores.” (I)

“Master, the Phantom Orb contains spectral energy far more pure and condensed than any Phantom core.” (Hela)

“This will be excellent for your plan, so the chance of another type of Undead being summoned has become null.” (Hela)

“Yes, I also realized that I could synthesize with Phantom Orbs when you weren’t able to continue accumulating spectral energy in the same Phantom Orb.” (I)

“I was very curious about what kind of creature would be summoned using an Orb containing the spectral energy of all the Ghosts in this place.” (I)

,m “…” (Henrique)

As I told my plans I felt that Henrique spoke less, in the end, he seemed thoughtful about something.

“What are you thinking about, Henry?” (I)

“You know, a summon could be a bad idea.” (Henrique)

“Because?” (I)

“Because the Soul requirements would be too high for what you want to do.” (Henrique)

“There are two types of summoning, the first is summoning creatures that already exist elsewhere until you.” (Henrique)

“The second is for you to summon a soul to inhabit a body built by your energy and materials at that moment.” (Henrique)

“It would be like creating a first generation monster, you would create that body using the soul and any compatible material if you want.” (Henrique)

“Yes, I am able to do both types of summoning.” (I)

“The second type is quite rare, it looks like you have talent as a summoner.” (Henrique)

“But what you want to do would only be possible with the second type of invocation anyway, besides you made a mistake.” (Henrique)

“Like this?” (I)

“The bodies of spectral-type Undead, even if they don’t look like it, are still bodies, they contain a Soul inside.” (Henrique)

“You thought a lot about the potential, quality, and power of this spectral body that would be created, but you left out the Soul.” (Henrique)

“For most beings having a Soul weaker than the body is not a problem.” (Henrique)

“But Spectral-type Undead need to have Souls as powerful as their body, that’s because their bodies act as an outer layer for their Souls, the body and Soul bond is much closer.” (Henrique)

“What would have happened if I had summoned a Soul Weaker than the Phantom Orb?” (I)

“The summon could have failed causing the Phantom Orb to be destroyed in the process in a burst of energy commensurate with the power stored within.” (Henrique)

“Or in the worst case, it would be creating a first generation monster completely controlled by your instincts, which would compel you to kill him.” (Henrique)

“So if it’s a strong Soul, will it be able to maintain consciousness like you or Ivan?” (Hela)

“It seems that our studies together are being useful, Miss Hela.” (Henrique)

“You were right, but that doesn’t mean you would be the same person you were when you were still alive, maybe you just have the emotions of your previous life or the memories, but most likely you don’t have either.” (Henrique)

I close my eyes to review my plan, I think I made a mistake making this kind of plan without talking to an expert first.

“(A high level Soul? Where will I find one like this?)” (I)

I look at Hela, the only high level Soul I had was the one from Farus that I used to create Hela months ago, all the others are very weak.

“Talking to you really made me understand my Goddess’s message better, she sent this message before coming here but it was the biggest message I’ve ever received, I was unconscious most of the trip because of it.” (Henrique)

“It must have been difficult.” (I)

“If I hadn’t been dead before, I’m sure I would have died at that moment.” (Henrique)

“But my Goddess said…” (Henry)

“(How hard is it to receive messages from the Gods?)” (I)

“(Vanessa makes it look easy, plus I’ve met some Gods, I think I might be misunderstanding what can be considered difficult or normal.)” (I)

“(Am I losing my common sense?)” (I)

I look at Henrique and realize that I got lost in my thoughts and didn’t hear what he was saying, but from the look on Hela’s face it seems like it was something important.

“Sorry, I got lost in my thoughts for a few seconds and didn’t hear what you were saying earlier.” (I)

“Okay, it must be a lot for you to understand, we can leave this conversation for another time if you want.” (Henrique)

“I’d rather talk about it than act while I get my mind in order, it makes it easier for me to organize my thinking around the best solutions.” (I)

“If you prefer it that way, then continuing with what I was saying earlier, my Goddess said that she sent a suitable Soul in her direction, do you know anything about that?” (Henrique)
