Chapter 4: Thought Marble
Four days straight the ant with a great soul had been constantly feasting and refining liquefied thought's from the weak, injured and old ants. Removing the times were he is eating or sleeping, he had mostly used his time to refine both from other and himself.
And on the fifth day, he had discovered something new. That being, after he had had refined his twenty fifth ant he couldn't add more to his mind space no matter how much he tries. Forcing it instead courses his body pain and his mind space to crack lightly.
Twenty five droplets, each made up of five smaller droplets. Meaning they are about one hundred and twenty five smaller droplets, when I first tried to use this droplets I only used four drops but this time I have so many. I'll probably be able to manifest a natural phenomenon even if it's as little as small shake in the air or a small light or even fire— he thought.
When he was ready he quickly returned to his hidden cave which he had stuck piled with food and locked the door.
After eating his share, he quickly prepared himself as he wanted to start.
But he Suddenly had a thought, a stray and pervasive thought.
He suddenly start merging all his liquified thoughts droplets yet after merging seven droplets, it felt as though the newly formed larger body of liquified thought had a mind of its own and it started attracting all the other droplets as though a black hole. Very quickly, they Merge yet it wasn't enough as the newly form larger liquid body continuously sucked.
'this.... ' he was surprised at the sudden changes yet at the very next moment his ant eyes shone with a certain glint, one of his larger tentacles stretched forth, the tip of that tentacle transform into a slimer and slender straw like tube . He connected it to his mind space and the tentacle started squeezing itself and while it was doing so, liquefied thought's were sliding down from the tubes.
'luckily even after my mindspace refused to except more liquified thought's I still starked up as many as possible in the small space I made in the outer space of my soul, storing up to forty two large liquefied thoughts. Though only thirty six remains as my souls aura constantly purifies all things to close to it's radiance'
He assumed a serious expression as he remembered the large liquified thought wanting to devour his reasoning and send him into depraved madness.
The larger body of liquefied thought was consuming all the smaller droplets and was growing in without restraints, not long after it was already large enough to be pushing against the boundaries of the mind space.
Not long afterwards, It was already making crack in the spherical boundaries of the mind space. Sensing the danger the growing liquified thought poses and feelings the pain from his mind as though his head was being struck by hammer constantly, he quick sent forth his soul force to empower the mind space boundaries.
Yet it keep growing and wasn't showing signs of stopping soon. So he to had to adapt.
'I'll try to compress the liquefied thoughts as much as possible, or if I let my guard down even for a moment my souls force could either shatter my mind space and turn me to an idiot or the large liquefied thought could flow out with great force the moment I release my soul force enforcement on the mind space boundaries, that would directly shatter my mind and cause my head to explode like those other ants I experimented on.....but mine would be bigger and more concentrated, strong enough to probably shatter not just this my little cave but also small half if not more of the entire nest' he thought
this the nest is one belonging to a supercolony, meaning this nest could possibly be as tall as a grown man standing upright and would be as wide as two to three grown men standing shoulder to shoulder
And the fearsome part is that it's underground, with this cave being in between the lower middle floors.
An explosion that large could kill a man if detonate close to him.
Making up his mind, he sent another piece of tentacle and transformed it to another sphere but this time Instead of enforcing, this one started compressing the liquified thoughts.
But it wasn't easy as the liquified thought constantly resist against the compression by the soul force. Yet he couldn't use more force as it could lead to more harm than good.
he simply had to struggle his way through, constantly fearing and walking on the lines of life and death.
After a whole day of constantly fighting against the repealing force of the liquid thought, he had managed to overpowered it and conquered it. Compressing it continuously until it became a tiny blue marble at the center of the spherical space known as it's mind space, with grey fog constantly swelling and twirling around inside.
Yet non of the grey fog attempted to near it at all, instead the marble constantly shone blue purifying light which constantly refined and purifies the mind space. Not only that, the blue light also shone on the spherical boundaries of the mind space constantly healing and strengthening it.
This light was different from the soul force as it was less aggressive than soul force and was more suited for purifying the mind fog. See it as this, if he used the soul force he would inevitably waste away many of the fog as the soul force was too impurity hateful but while the marble lights used the similar method it is able to refined twenty to thirty percent more liquified thoughts.
Not only that but few minutes later when he was completely settled down. He started noticing changes to his sensory abilities.
'this are energy particles and other elements....this is different from my soul gaze, it's more like my mind can see them instead. Not only that, I can also feel most basic changes in the air. Is this the results of solidifying ones thoughts? ' he thought yet he quickly notice that the amount of burden his ant like mind could withstand had increase and he could somewhat think in his ant brain more complex thought with worrying about it.
'but that's not what's important now...'he thought as he sent his consciousness into his mind space to observe.
'I don't need to use my soul to get excess to my mental space now, I can do it with a little bit of concentration and if my thoughts are correct I'll probably be able to control the power derived from the thoughts marble without the help of my soul as well' he thought as he could see his now clear and clean mental space which has changed largely in just few minutes of him not observing it.
The small space know as his mind space is like a realm of it's own now, although it was similar size outside it had become bigger on the inside. The original greyish boundaries had turned transparent and light blue with the small marble at the center and small blueish water body surrounding.
'the mind fog have all been dried out in my mind space but I didn't fall into depravity and insanity this time, is this also an effect of the thoughts marble? Well it probably is' he thought.
'then let me see how I'll do this time' he thought.
In the next moment he opened his pincers and with a single commanding though,the marble started glowing brightly and the water body below him started flowing towards his outer being.
A light blueish light was gathering at its mouth, this light was brighter than the first one he had originally tried.
Yet it didn't stop there as he continuously poured more mental power into his pinchers as he compress it more.
He keep pouring till he felt he couldn't release more mental power as he body couldn't handle anymore.
At that moment light particles started getting attracted and attached to the gathering mental power making it turn whitish gold from its light blueish color.
Looking at a certain corner of the cave, one of the places where he had kept a ant corpse to feed for later. A large worker ant corpse was present there and in a shot flash, he shot out the energy blast.
And in the next moment he witnessed a large hole as big as a soldier ants head appears in the workers body when the light came in contact with it.
It didn't stop there as it landed on the cave corner and opened a hole in the cave corner. This new hole surprised all the passing ants as a beam of light opened a hole in the wall killed one of the worker.
The proprietor was looking at this even in shock and awe.
'this, this is marvelous.... But it seems as though this body can only release that much energy' he said as he looked at his mental space,the thoughts water had reduced by half.
'I still have about half of my thoughts liquid left. should I try again, after all the marble is protecting my mental state and I'll probably not fall into madness' he thought about it but at that moment he suddenly felt like all his strength was leaving his body.
HUNGER
'Im hungry, very hungry' he thought as he crawled little by little towards the nearest corpse.
Upon reaching the nearest corpse he started feasting like a starved beast. After sometime, he finished the worker's corpse and still felt hungry so he quickly ran to the next corpse.
After eating three whole corpse's only then did he feel satisfied,then he left the cave as the ants were coming in and disturbing his peace. But they can't be blamed as they considered it an new area and have thought to explore it in case of danger.
Well it's not like he can tell them in ant language 'get out, it's my space'
After he left, he first found a honeypot and drank his full then he went about his own business.
Suddenly a big commotion started at the main entrance of the nest.
Looking towards the entrance with his soul gaze instead of going to see it personally was a reflexive reaction from his end.
With soul's gaze he could see a large group of ant's with larger and more old looking armored exoskeleton. This ant were matching in and they were surrounding as group of flimsy looking honey ant which were carrying lavae and pupae of ants.
'Those seem to be the first generation of soldiers and the ones in the middle are probably captives of war' he thought
At the very front of the ant army was a false queen.she was no mere false queen, as she was a general and was the leader of the first generation army.
Normally the first generation wouldn't listen to a false queen as they were not true queens and lack the abilities of a queen but this false queens were probably around third generation and was two generations below themselves. Almost humanlike I'll say.
But again I repeat this false queen was no mere false queen. She was favored by the queen and was granted a gift during birth.
The ability to command.
She was releasing a soft and not so noticable pheromone, a ability which a queen would never allow any other than herself to have yet she was granted such gift. Though she those not have the ability to reproduce like the other queen.
Coupling with her stronger armor, larger build,powerful pinchers,her ability to fly and the ability to lead. She was the perfect general and figurehead in case an invasion comes that they wouldn't be able to escape, the enemy would tear her apart as the queen hides.
She released her blessing granted by the Queen in full force, she had probably used it to take control of the colonies they had raided along the way.
'isn't this queen ant a little too smart? If I couldn't see her soul I would have probably thought she was also a reincarnator' the ant thought.
But at that moment the ground started shaking and vibrating badly.
'an earthquake?' He thought as he looked high above his head and what he saw frightened him.
