Looking helplessly at Gaia, who fell into a deep sleep in an instant, Ilia simply let it go, letting her use herself as a comfortable pillow.
"Well... let's quickly fuse the remaining soul fragments."
After thinking for a while, Ilia decided to complete the soul fusion first.
After an unknown amount of time, Gaia woke up. When she looked up at Ilia, she found that her eyes were blankly staring into the void, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Well? It turns out that it's soul fusion. But this soul is really incomplete. How on earth did she exist until now?"
Looking at the numerous soul fragments floating and merging deep in Ilia's soul, Gaia was a little confused.
"Normally, if the soul is damaged to that extent, shouldn't it collapse immediately? ...Eh, eh? What's going on?!"
At this time, in Gaia's eyes, Illya's posture suddenly began to change.
He has grown slightly in height. His long silver-gray hair has gradually transformed into light gold from the roots. His red and blue eyes are also uniformly moving towards the change of light blue.
"Ah... there is only one last step left..."
When all the changes were over, Illya's dull eyes regained their radiance, and she stretched out comfortably.
"Huh? What's wrong? Little Gaia, why are you staring at me like this?"
When Ilia came back to her senses, she found Gaia, who was coiled in her arms like a cat, staring at her with a strange look.
"Your appearance has changed."
Hearing this, Ilia casually pulled up a bunch of hair hanging in front of her body and began to think in a trance.
"...Well, this should be the true appearance of this body. After being alchemized, this body not only shrank, but the hair also turned into a dull silvery gray. Now that my soul has been fused, I feel suppressed in my soul.
After disappearing, the body will of course return to its original posture."
"This body? Body? What are you talking about? You are in a soul state now!"
Gaia revealed the error in Ilia's explanation.
"What?! The state of my soul... that's right! I don't have a body at all now. What's going on? My soul shouldn't be like this! Could it be that I am still dead? The one who is in charge of this soul now is still
The original soul of Illya? I’m just an extra memory?”
Ilia scratched her hair in a panic.
"Hey! Gaia! You can see the structure of my soul, right?"
"Well, yes. What's wrong?"
Gaia doesn't understand Ilia's situation.
"Can you help me see what the main soul that exists in the center of my soul looks like?"
"Oh, the main soul in the center... is two soul fragments fused together, and the surroundings are all spliced together soul fragments."
What Gaia saw was a large puzzle of soul fragments spliced around two fused soul fragments.
"Two soul fragments fused together?... So that's it, are they soul fragments... No wonder I have wondered why a complete soul can fuse with other soul fragments. It turns out that I had already
Part of my soul is missing... No wonder there are breakpoints everywhere in my memory..."
Only then did Ilia understand the reasons for all the changes that had occurred in her body. For example, a complete soul is like a hollow glass ball filled with water, and you want to add more to it.
It is impossible for water to do it. And the incomplete soul is a broken glass ball. As long as a section is repaired along the break, the volume of the glass ball can be increased and more water can be added. It's just that compared to
For a broken glass ball, the incomplete soul is even more fragile. Illya can maintain her soul until now. It can only be said that she is lucky and lucky.
"However, if this is really the case... Ilia must have been too stupid. She actually chose to leave her body to me and died with that lunatic who wanted to create a god..."
There are many reasons why the current soul appears in the form of the girl Ilia Allen Stein Trenbel. First, when the soul fusion was first performed, the girl's soul accounted for
More. But the girl gave up her independent consciousness and chose to die, following in her father's footsteps and passing away, leaving her body to the current Ilia. Secondly, the soul itself does not have a specific form, but because it has
The body, so the soul appears according to the posture of the body. Ilia has owned this body for more than a thousand years, and its influence is considerable enough.
"Forget it, it's useless to talk about this now... let's melt the souls together completely first. Then maybe I will be restored to my original appearance."
As mentioned before, soul fusion is like simply expanding and filling the cracks in the glass ball. Small cracks will inevitably exist between the spliced soul fragments. So what Ilia has to do
The last step is to thoroughly smelt these soul fragments that are simply spliced together to form a complete soul individual. Otherwise, if the current state continues, within a thousand years, Ilia's soul will be destroyed by the soul.
The mutually exclusive factors between the fragments continue to expand and completely disintegrate.
The figure of Illya in the soul state began to become blurred and unstable, constantly fluctuating and distorting. Gaia was so frightened that Gaia jumped out of Illya's arms.
"Uh...ah..."
Painful moans overflowed from Ilia's mouth. Gaia, who was helpless, could only look at Ilia with a wrinkled face and worry. Because Gaia understood that for Ilia now, she was in the most difficult situation.
The critical moment must not be disturbed. Once Ilia's soul fusion fails, the final outcome will be to disintegrate into multiple soul fragments and then be absorbed by the source. Ilia's existence can be said to have completely disappeared.
The world is gone.
The pain that Illya is suffering now can be said to be unbearable that she has never experienced before in this life or in the past. Compared with the pain of dividing the soul to create the origin-logic management AI, it pales in comparison. However,
, in order to continue to exist, Illya can only choose to persist to the end.
"ah!!!"
After an extremely painful roar, black and white light suddenly emanated from Ilia's body. The "good" and "evil" that had been lurking finally found an opportunity and began to act.
"Oops! Why did you run out at this time...what should I do..."
Gaia was able to understand the seriousness of the situation, and became a little at a loss because she could not help.
"Ah! That's right, that's right! Just let her finish the soul smelting first!"
Gaia thought of some feasible method, and she reached into Ilia's soul. Then, a vast force from the planet instantly suppressed the activity of "good" and "evil".
"Hurry up and finish the soul smelting! That's all I can help you with. Although you don't have much "good" and "evil" in you, I can't always suppress it!"
Although she didn't get along with Ilia for long and was teased by Ilia, Gaia still developed a considerable affection and closeness to Ilia, so she chose to help without hesitation.
"I...get it...thank you...thank you..."
After a difficult response, Illya once again devoted herself to the twists and turns of soul smelting.
"It's not okay yet? It's troublesome now, I can't suppress it anymore...ah! Not good!!!"
After resisting for a long time, "good" and "evil" finally broke out from Gaia's suppression.
"Go away!!! Don't try to taint my soul!!! I am myself!!! I will never be influenced by you!!!"
Just when "good" and "evil" were about to erode into the core of Illya's soul, a sudden burst of thought from the core of the soul drove them out completely in one breath and could not be refused. At this moment,
Ilia's soul smelting is finally completed.
The "good" and "evil" that had been driven out of Illya's soul unwillingly circled Illya's soul several times and stubbornly attached themselves to the surface of her soul.
"Tch! It's such a nasty thing. Can't you get rid of it no matter what?"
Illya, who had no way to stop her, could only let "good" and "evil" continue to occupy her body.
"Little Gaia, it's all thanks to you just now. Otherwise, even if I could complete the smelting of the soul, I would definitely lose myself and become a puppet of one of the "good" and "evil" parties."
Ilia put Gaia back into her arms and stroked Gaia's little head gratefully.
"hey-hey!"
Gaia smiled proudly, and once again curled up like a cat, stroking Ilia's body comfortably.
