Kapitel 164: The Shattered Pieces Part-3
"The Pill has restored a greater sense of self within you", Coral spoke to the Ashen haired child who nodded slowly.
"But you are unable to speak -probably a quirk of your Soul Wound", She sighed
But the child lifted his index finger and a string of Glowing words formed above his head.
*Who are you?
"Coral", Coral rubbed the little boy's head as she let out a light smile.
The memory faded but it left an indelible mark- the first communication 'He' had since the Shattering.
-----------------------------------------------------------
A New memory surfaced,
The child was growing- now a teenager, still no recollection nor speech ability but his physique and energy had recovered to the point of normality- even his soul substructure had a better integrity now despite the cracks.
The Archeotech ship "AMRIT" was his home and he grew up under Karna and Coral's care- along with a certain Female Spectre as well.
Aavesh gazed at the different weapons before him, A sword, sabre, staff, a club, Gauntlets, knife, a bow, a Pistol, a shield, etc.
There were all kinds of weapons in the Super Arena Sized Training Room.
"What is a weapon?", Irolin's voice sounded in his head.
*Tool of offense and Defense?
"More"
*Intimidation Factory?
"Even More"
*Guarantee of Strength?
"All that and More"
"Your bare hands can be weapon if you want", Irolin's voice sounded again.
Aavesh gazed at his hands intently.
*Is it a feeling of Determination? To kill? To protect?
"You are getting there"
"People focus on one weapon or 2, few choose to specialize in multiple weapons "
"I gained the first piece of my divinity because I saw Everything as a Weapon - The World, the in Between and Myself ", Irolin spoke and this statement sent a shockwave into Aavesh.
"It was a hard long path, but the Path of Honing requires you to explore yourself - Practice with one weapon a Million Times, Practice Everything as a Weapon a Billion Times- do it till you are satisfied with the feeling you want", Irolin's voice faded.
Aavesh picked up a Heavy Black Sword.
*I'll start with you.
*Swish
-----------------------------------------------------------
"You can't improve? You know you can't cultivate beyond Stage 0 because of your soul", Karna spoke as he gazed into the Void, his eyes a bit somber.
*But I've learnt all weapons here - what can I do next? I want to improve!
"Learnt- you didn't learn anything kid", Karna chuckled and shook his head.
Aavesh tilted his head in confusion.
" Experience", Karna spoke while drinking a mouthful of a Glowing Drink from a burning Mug.
*What are you drinking? , Aavesh asked curiously.
"Do you see what's in this mug? Devil Blood- Infernal Devil Blood of Khorramzadeh - the one who shattered your Soul", Karna spoke quite calmly , as Aavesh stared at the mug sharply.
*How'd you get it?
"It was a long time ago, he killed my wife and I sliced a Part of his Demigod Origin - His Left Arm, he was my Twin you know... The Rage he's filled me with, the pain and the bitterness - Since he's parading the corpse of my clan before me, I think it's just right to make Bloodwine from his arm and consume it- Besides He feels the Pain of his Origin every single day"
"As long as he lives, The Arm will be in my Demiplane and the day he dies I will brew one last batch of Infernal Blood Wine and send my family off- Haaaah", He sighed.
*That's pretty brutal, he said -but inwardly he couldn't help but think that the reason was simply payback - that enemy of theirs probably had done something unforgivable to Karna.
"Yeah"
*Can I have a sip too
"Become a Demigod First", Karna replied back in amusement.
"Kid - I'll save a Jug for you- don't worry but now I'll take you to the Myriad War Plane- The Humanoid Races have set up a Kill Zone in this Plane to prevent a full scale incursion into the Material Universe ", Karna spoke as he then grabbed the teen and stepped into Space.
*ZIIIP
*Cries
*Explosions
*Crunch
*Sounds of mangled flesh and bones
Aavesh stood besides Karna gazed at the endless expanse of Brutal Warfare.
Thousands, Millions, Even Billions os Monstrosities from horrifying races and varying Power Levels were duking it out here.
Some brought intimidating Weapons, others brought colossal machines that ripped through different races like a gardening tool.
Karna simply smiled leisurely at scene.
"Well- we are the outer Edge, everyone here is Stage 5.0 and below - So I am not going to save you, I want you to survive a month here and then I'll come and pick you up"
"Oh and you don't get a weapon from the ship, you want one take it yourself from these battle maniacs ", Karna spoke, expecting rejection to the plan.
Aavesh turned his head and simply nodded to his surprise.
'Looks like his instincts have not returned yet, well then it seems we must hone it again, but this time it will be stronger than everything - Train child', Karna then launched Aavesh into the Chaotic Battle scene and simply left.
Aavesh felt the heat of the battle glaze his skin, every breathe tingling in his body as 2 Orbs flew out of his body - white and Black.
One Eye glowing with Blue, One Eye Silver, His Third Eye opened as the Flame Mark on the Forehead glowed Crimson.
He dodged a spear attack by a Purple demon, sidestepped a Dark Breathe attack by a Black Dragon Hybrid of some sort, landed a Punch on dog sized greenish centipede and while stealing a Skinning Knife from a frenzied Hag.
*Battle tactics and Techniques won't cover such a Chaotic Situation.
*Improvisation is required, Chaos is here, Order must be wrought.
*Vitality is sufficient enough to activate all Augmentations
*Augmentation Natural Synchronization at 10%
*Objective- Understand the Meaning of a Weapon as The World, the In Between and the Self.
*Solution - Learn the Meaning here.
Rapid Tactical information flowed into him with assistance from all of his Augmentations - the Marrows Hardened and supported his Vorpal Limbs, his Power Core greedily Refined the Chaotic Energies of the Plane to Nourish his Unopened Meridians.
His Spinal Augmented began to light up like fire crackers as he stepped into the fray again and began to learn the essence of Weapons that had found their way into his hands.
He fought, lost and won,- day after day- Time didn't matter in this Plane - There was only carnage of war.
But Aavesh didn't forcefeed morality into his mind neither did he let the plane influence him.
He focused on one thing Learning the Meaning.
He began to switch to his bare arms, use the environment and even himself in to understand what Irolin meant.
After a long carnage of war did he began to understand.
Everything had the potential to become a weapon.
Everything was a weapon.
He calmly contemplated as he began to see the 'Truth' behind the concept of the Weapon.
The Weapon was a necessity.
It had to be anything anytime.
*Snap
After days, he understood and knew his journey on the Path of Weapon had just begun.
*Boom
A shockwave erupted from his body, as if a mental block had been broken...
Instincts began to kick in and now his fighting had become incredibly Fluid.
Dynamic.
He had become a big headache to the Overbosses of the Planet due to his obstinacy to not die and survive as commanded.
"Kid, I'm here", Karna's voice arrived and Aavesh fainted from the accumulated mental fatigue.
Memories of Battle and Weaponry now faded again.
-------------------------------------------------------------
" Your friend Chu Feng is in trouble", Coral spoke to him as she controlled the AMRIT and read messages on her Visors.
*Huh?
"You don't remember but you made a promise to help him"
*How?
---" A Mythic Crystal filled with Legend Mythic Essence I suppose"---, Aug Sys suddenly spoke in Aavesh's mind.
*Who are you?
---" Aug Sys, I am part of you- A Manual, an Assistant for Augmentation Evolution, speaking of which I will help you condense Evolution Crystals as well"---
*Alright, I assume you react when my soul integrity is high enough.
---"Exactly, And I would also like to report something, Of you want access to unlimited resources - I have found Shattering data caches hidden in the Augmentations and assembled them- They were the inheritance Lord Perseus had given you to distribute to Humanity, I also detect that you are in Possession of an Archeotech Ship that has Technology that Outclassed the Data Cache"---
*What is your suggestion?
---"Use a Psuedonym and open a Tech Vault, with a Universal Bank Account - Strategically and Periodically Release the Technology to the GRATU in exchange for Galactic Currency- Not Patents but Currency and Reputation to protect yourself "---
*Intriguing Idea, you want me to sort out these Karmic debts, I assume Perseus and Chu Feng are acquaintances of mine?
---" Chu Feng saved your life and Perseus was your First Master"---
*I see, Let's refine the Idea First and get Karna to help us
*Also- you were awake the whole time weren't you? You are the one who helped modify the Bio Nano Cells during my Gene Replacement Operation- that's why the changes are comprehensive.
---"Yes, but not to the point I could initiate conversation, after all I am part of your soul, I hid within the Augmentations, you have sufficient Soul integrity for intelligent conversation"---
*You are hiding something from me, I can tell but I'll stop here, you have your reasons - I am not going to ask
---"Acceptable"---
