Chapter 335: Completely in His Shape

Chapter 335: Completely in His Shape
The Nightmare Butterfly tells Saul that the reason it suddenly hatched was because Saul brought something back from outside.

That thing is actually the Nightmare Butterfly’s dream, the core of their race’s heritage.

“In fact, all of us Nightmare Butterflies were born in the dream world of a high-ranked sorcerer. After that, our numbers only decreased. By the last hundred years, even many full-fledged sorcerers don’t know of our existence anymore.”

“The egg is not our child; it is actually a new body. When our current body dies and dissolves, the body of consciousness is transferred to the new egg. And the medium of transfer is a dream. Only, not all eggs complete the metamorphosis, most are just dead eggs. This time, the past Penny secretly hid the inheritance dream in your dream, but …… she didn’t hold back her curiosity to observe you after awakening.”

Saul lifted his chin, signaling the Nightmare Butterfly to continue.

“At first, it was probably just to observe your recent history. But your history is too peculiar, and there are always some fragments that are hidden …… This made my curiosity grow heavier and heavier, and I couldn’t help but see the day you came over ……”

“Ahem!” Saul suddenly coughed lightly, interrupting Penny.

This was his subconscious reaction, as he didn’t want others to hear Penny’s words.

But then he realized that Penny only appeared in his own vision, and didn’t really exist within the wizard’s tower. It could not be seen or heard by the foggy people hidden in the room, nor by the black silhouettes that appeared from time to time.

And at that moment the algae was ……

wrapping and unwrapping Saul and the chair in a circle like a python.

It’s very boring to watch.

After gently patting Little Algae’s head to keep him honest, Saul continued, “You do realize …… that I’m the later? You know exactly what I mean, right?”

“Yes, I know exactly what brother Saul means.” The Nightmare Butterfly’s wings fluttered gently, like a person cowering their shoulders, “It was precisely because of seeing that scene that Penny at that time couldn’t help but continue to look …… forward and then became what she is now. I lost almost all of my power, and became owned by brother Saul.”

“Do you really not remember what you saw at that time? Even a little bit.” Thor leaned forward and stared intently at the Nightmare Butterfly.

The other party trembled even more and begged for mercy, “Brother Saul, I really don’t remember. And my dream told me that if I remembered, I would die, really die, the kind of death where the number of Nightmare Butterflies is reduced by one.”

Saul slowly leaned back, leaning against the back of the chair, the compelling pressure that was just on his body was disappearing.

He actually wasn’t too keen on knowing that history right now.

Especially since in his dream, he almost broke down because he saw a part of the image that Penny had seen.

Now that he thought about it, it was the explosive feeling of having a world suddenly shoved inside his head.

Not even the diary could pull him back from the brink of collapse.

Luckily, at the last minute, the self-protection function of Saul’s body took effect, shielding his senses and allowing him to pass out.

As for the Nightmare Butterfly, it was most likely because Saul had called its name and acknowledged its existence at the last minute that the other party had the opportunity to enter the diary and hide.

Now it seemed that the Nightmare Butterfly had indeed seen something, and should have seen a bit more than Saul, which caused even an existence as powerful as it to nearly collapse.

“Let’s keep the Nightmare Butterfly then.” Saul thought to himself, “I will one day explore my own history. At that time, the Nightmare Butterfly’s past memories should be able to help me.”

He smiled, relaxing more and more, “Even if I can’t recall it. I remember after I fainted, your first words were ‘this won’t work’, what does that mean?”

“Well ……,” Penny began to slowly flap her wings as if she was thinking back.

Saul just watched it quietly and didn’t rush it.

“I remember. Brother Saul, the body of consciousness you channeled into that corpse was so clean. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a body of consciousness stripped so cleanly. But such a body of consciousness can very easily become a medium for powerful spirits. When he entered that female corpse, he happened to bump into the remnants of a certain idea and was seized of his consciousness almost instantly.”

“A remnant of an intention?” Saul nodded thoughtfully.

Half of the corpses in the corpse room were containers that Lady Yura had prepared for herself during her lifetime. That female corpse might have once carried Lady Yura’s spirit body. But if this is really the case …… then it is basically certain that the owner of “kill me” is Youra.

As Golza’s mentor had said, Mrs. Yura’s soul independence experiment had failed.

Not only that, Saul also suspected that Mrs. Yura had suffered a rather serious contamination.

He could not hear the presence of reason in the phrase “kill me”.

“Even if the resurrection experiment can create a suitable container so that Mrs. Yura’s spirit body can survive safely and for a long time, is the still contaminated Mrs. Yura still herself?”

When he thought of Mrs. Yura, who considered herself to be “Vinnie” and was just a substitute, Saul couldn’t help but ask a question.

“Is such a resurrection really a resurrection?”

Had Mentor Golza ever considered this question?

“Definitely!”

Sol suppressed his own complicated feelings and continued to ask Penny, “But I need to conduct an experiment on spirit body transfer, a task that involves my life. Do you have any way to make the body of consciousness in my hand resist the manipulation of the residual thoughts within the corpse?”

Saul looked at Penny, his eyes narrowed, this was sort of the 1st test for it.

Penny seemed to feel this pressure as well, it couldn’t help but is vibrating its wings to fly in a half circle and then hurriedly fall down again.

“That body of consciousness is completely controlled by you, it is your warrior, you need to arm him with swords and armor.”

Saul hadn’t thought about this, he got a little interested, “A body of consciousness can be armed too?”

Penny said carefully, “Conscious bodies cannot be changed at will of course, their form is as pure as it can be. But you can arm them with a layer of energy on the outside, those soul fragments from your reserves will do.”

“I see what you mean, wrap the protected person in energy to resist outside intrusion. Hiss …… And can I solve the problem of rejection of the container through this method?”

“This …… I’m afraid not.”

“Also,” Thor thought of the explanation himself, “the physical body would aggravate the rejection reaction by the layer of energy attached to the outside of the conscious body.”

Using a human body as a container was quite a problem! A soul consciousness that wasn’t its own original just didn’t fit.

Herman said he also felt a slight repulsion when he entered his own body, and that would be because his body was faceless and his spirit consciousness body had been modified by Saul’s diary.

So now the two have created irreconcilable contradictions and can only temporarily live in superficial harmony in the same bed.

“Now it’s back to the original point. Why was my soul able to be accommodated by this body with no repulsive reaction at all.”

Not only that, after going through the ordeal of having his soul leave his body, Saul was now getting more and more comfortable using this body.

However, through Penny’s hints, Saul also had a guess: the unrecollectable history he had gone through had attached a protective film to his soul, and this protective film made it impossible for others to probe into his past, and also made it impossible for the body to tell if this soul was original to itself or not.

In the beginning, this body agreed to the entry of souls from other worlds in a twisted way.

At a later stage, it also tested Saul, the new soul, from time to time.

However, such temptations also made Saul alert.

After undergoing two witch body transformations, this body was now in the exact shape of the new Saul!
