The white motes contain information that he was in desperate need of so he spread out his divine sense with soul force to grab them and assimilate them. Some of them had already been destroyed with that short delay. The grey water is adamant about destroying everything. He now knows why the grey water is like that after absorbing the memories.
There were some difficulties in absorbing the memories but it is mostly good news. The white motes are pieces of information. They are not complete or orderly. He has to put them together to gain relevant information in a sequence. Unfortunately, some information were missing so what he got was not complete.
"I probably have less than 10% of the knowledge contained within the soul fragment. But that is already good enough."
I've started a new book titled DESTINY GAMES. Please check it
