章 297: Soul Transfer

Transferring a soul, Daedalus had never attempted to do it before. He had of course read a few books on the theory behind it, however the act of transferring a soul was considered taboo in most cases. Taboo in a way that the heavens would smite you.

Luckily as a heavens chosen it was an unlikely occurrence unless he was taking and occupying the body of an innocent person. Even better he was doing the least taboo of all versions. He was transferring a fragment of his own soul into a new host, Daedalus had considered doing this with Icarus but chose against it.

So for the few weeks that Ultraun was working on his new body, Daedalus was researching soul transfer. It was incredibly similar to adding a fragment of his soul to a weapon or golem so Daedalus didn't take long. However just to be safe Daedalus did hundreds of tests, of course done with consent, with the Golem race's population.

Daedalus had gotten consent by offering to make their bodies stronger if they help him prepare for there leaders transition. This had easily gotten many Golems to come to him so Daedalus had quickly learned and mastered basic soul transferring methods.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eventually Ultraun had finished creating his body. Daedalus of course selfishly asked to take a look over the new body under the guise of making sure that it was safe. Ultraun knew his real reasoning but didn't mind too much.

So Daedalus began his observation. From his initial glances Daedalus could see that it was mostly made out of Adamantite. The frame of the body was built to mimic a humans skeletal structure, although with several upgrades, mainly being connection ports for extra limbs, wings and such items.

After getting permission and taking a closer look Daedalus was able to see that there where lighter green lines running throughout the body. Daedalus as the creator of the metal immediately made the connection and said "So you are using the living metal to strengthen the Adamantite smart. You know, you're really lucky that Adamantite shares some properties with living metal."

Daedalus then continued with his observation. The tendons, or their equivalents where made using a softer version of living metal as well. Daedalus had been experimenting on living metal for years now so of course he figured out how to do that. A side effect was that the living metal became more durable quickly compared to the rest of the body. Further observation showed that a lot of the inner workings where made using that type of living metal.

With his observations complete Daedalus commended Ultraun on a body well done. Ultraun acted all flattered for a moment before getting all serious saying "Alright I need to connect the body to this chair then we can start work on the transfer."

After a minute Ultraun stood back and said "Okay, let's do this."

As he had control over his soul fragments Daedalus simply took control from Ultraun for a minute and began to pull his soul from his body. Within moments Ultraun's soul was floating in front of Daedalus. Daedalus immediately got to work putting Ultraun's soul into his new and improved body.

The process was amazingly smooth and eventually it was complete. Ultraun then stood up and gave Daedalus a hug before saying "I can feel now, everything feels so interesting."
