Chương 28: [Chapter:28][Absorbing the first Soul Ring (I totally didn’t almost forget to publish it)]
"This should be far enough…"
Al looked around to make sure nobody was present in the vicinity, and after making sure he was alone, whispered softly,
"[For Utopia]"
With a ripple in space, his figure vanished, reappearing in a completely different dimension.
The 'For Utopia' is a key phrase he had set in order to move to the personal dimension of his Spirit, [Garden of Eden]. It wasn't necessary, of course, but he thought it was quite cool. Kind of like 'Hail Hydra'.
As he opened his eyes, Al found himself in an utterly dark environment with barely enough air to breathe. Luckily for him, thanks to [Tireless Machine], oxygen was not necessary for his survival, or he wouldn't be able to stay here for long.
"Truly, a desolate place…"
The distinct lack of air caused his whisper to sound nearly inaudible, and he could only sigh before taking out a spherical jewel and imbue his Spirit Power into it, making it glow dimly at first, followed by shining brightly.
Imbuing into it enough Spirit Power to last a few days, and then doing the same to the other similar light bulb-like Soul Guidance Devices he had bought with Old Jack's help, Al looked around at the tiny patch of earth he was on and sighed.
This was his 'world', the famed Garden of Eden. In its infancy, however, as there was not even a natural source of light or enough air for a man to survive for a day, let alone life.
At the beginning, when he just entered the Garden, Al had almost died from the lack of air, light, gravity…lack of everything.
All that was present was empty space, a Void. Luckily, moments before he truly died, Ella took control of his Spirit and forcefully ejected him out, or he would have been reborn as a baby in another world already.
The Garden, due to lack of Soul Rings, was simply an empty expanse of space-time. There was literally nothing in there. Thus, Al had to spend enormous amounts of Spirit Power, not that that is much of an issue to him, to open large space gates leading to the Garden and let them suck in everything he could find his hands on, mountains, air, the sea, literally everything.
After a month and a half of hard work, during which he often left the Holy Spirit Village and wandered around remote places and pillaged the Douluo Continent's earth and water and air, he was rewarded with a 'planet' a hundredth the size of the moon. Basically a slightly large asteroid.
"At least there's some gravity and I don't have to worry about floating away to god knows where…"
Even the air would have disappeared into the vast and seemingly infinite expanse of space had it not been for the gravity of the asteroid, the 'only' matter in the dimension, holding it together.
Even now, Al could only remain within the 'atmosphere' of the asteroid, and leaving it would cause the insides of his body to rapidly expand until his insides become outsides, effectively causing a very, very painful death.
After he managed to make himself a 'safe heaven', he spent a couple days building a large warehouse, wherein lied many different kinds of herbs and plants and trees and seeds, another warehouse which acted as his 'Item Box' so to speak, where he could store things and extract them back with relative ease, and a small, yet cosy looking hut.
"Snorlax."
"Snor? Snor! Snor Snorlax!"
Al looked at the hut, at the small, fat yet adorable looking figure of Snorlax taking a nap to be precise, and smiled. As he called out to it, Snorlax woke up from her sleep and seemed surprised to see Al, before she jumped towards him in joy.
"Come on girl, it's time for you and me to get our first rings."
'Ella.'
((On it.))
A bright, sparkling red ring appeared before him, and Al sat down on the barren ground cross legged before closing his eyes, entering a state of meditation. After six whole years, even if most of that time was spent in playing around or taking care of the fields and other trivial yet entertaining activities, it was child's play for him to attain a period of selflessness within seconds.
((Beginning integration of the first Soul Ring now…))
The 100,000+ year old Soul Ring shone a brightly, and then…
*crack!*
It cracked, the cracks spreading all around the ring, before…
*CRACK!*
It split into two.
*weng!*
A wave of Spirit Power emanated from the broken ring, as a vague silent scream filled with pain and terror seemed to reverberate throughout the space. It was soon soothed, however, as a phantom of Al's body appeared behind his actual body, a glowing, translucent phantom, and small parts of him, his hair to be precise, extended from the phantom and sunk into the two semi-rings.
((Perk [Soul Sharing] activated…))
If one observed from far above in the air, one would see several other strands of his hair seemingly extending towards infinity, which were in fact connected to specialised jewels which everyone with Max relation with him have. Special rubies, emeralds, sapphires, and diamonds which each, thanks to the connection with him, provide endless Spirit Power.
At the same time, another strand of his hair extended towards Snorlax who had been silently watching the turn of events.
((Duplicating Soul Ring…))
The two split parts of the bright red Soul Ring floated away from one another, before a dim phantom of the other half of each ring appeared to complete them. The strands of hair, parts of Al's soul, extended towards the dim phantom, making it brighter and clearer.
At the same time, both his Spirits, the [Feather Quill] and the glass orb representing the [Garden of Eden], appeared next to each of the two Soul Rings.
((Beginning Soul Ring creation…))
Then the scene shifts to Snorlax, who rolled down and closed her eyes as snores began to emerge from her open mouth. At the same time, enormous amounts of Spirit Power emerged from the strand of hair connecting to Snorlax, and a vague white phantom of a ring appeared on top of her stomach, which slowly changed colour to yellow, then to purple, then to black, red, and finally…
((Unique Soul Ring [Blue Silver Empress Ah Yin] attached to Spirit [Feather Quill].))
((Unique Soul Ring [Blue Silver Empress Ah Yin] attached to Spirit [Garden of Eden].))
With a soft, yet distinct *kacha!*, the phantoms of the two rend rings materialised around the two Spirits.
((Million year old Soul Ring [Snorlax's First Ring] created and attached to Spirit [Snorlax].))
With another soft yet distinct *kacha!*, a bright platinum ring fully materialised on Snorlax's stomach.
((And we're done…!))
At the same time, a beautiful woman with long blue hair appeared behind Al, slowly opening her eyes before looking around in confusion.
"I…I'm not dead?"
