Chapter 7 - Chapter 7 - Raising Spirit Power

A day passed, and Rema only managed to perfectly control three arms with ease. If she will try doing four arms, she will only manage to do it by doing simple moves with her four spirit arms at the same time.

She only stopped practicing when she started to hear a cracking sound beside her. Soon she felt a connection with the seed. It was like her brain and consciousness was being split into two.

Rema felt incredible pain from that, and screamed inwardly. She tried her best to stay conscious, and the pain lasted for 5 minutes before subsiding.

'Congratulations you have successfully created a clone, host.' Psyche said while Rema was resting her mind from the pain she felt.

Rema then felt like she was having another extension of herself.

'Hello, main Rema.' Suddenly Rema heard a voice which sounds like her own.

'What? Who?'

'I'm you and you are me. You can just think that I'm a minor version of you. What you learn, I will learn and what I learn, you will learn.' The other voice replied.

'I'm so hungry. I'll eat first while you talk with Psyche.' The other Rema then started to eat the ant.

'What's happening, Psyche?' Rema asked.

'Just think that the other Rema is another you, and what she said earlier pretty sums up what is happening. You don't need to manually control the other Rema since it also has a brain of its own, and the good thing about this clone is, what she learns you will learn, and vice versa.'

'The other Rema won't harm me, right?' Rema asked anxiously.

'I won't as I have said earlier, you are me and I am you. Killing you will only be a disadvantage to us. And besides you can manually control me if you want.' The other Rema said while munching on the ant's leg.

'What she said is true, host. You don't need to be anxious.' Psyche said to give further assurance.

'Alright.' Rema said while continuing to practice her control on Spirit Arms.

'Oh yeah I'll call you Rema1 from now on.' Rema said to the clone.

'Alright.' Rema1 said while munching on the last piece of the ant's body.

'Your Spirit Power increased by 0.05, host.' Psyche said.

'How did my Spirit Power increase?' Rema asked.

'It increased since the other Rema ate the ant. Usually you'll get 0.1 increase when eating an ant but since you have two bodies it will be divided by 2.' Psyche explains.

'Okay, anyway let's move now and try to possess the two ants earlier.' Rema said while moving. Rema1 followed while staying silent.

After a few hours of crawling silently, they manage to come back to the room while being unnoticeable by the other ants.

The two ants was still there taking care of the antlings and ant eggs. While the other ant that is bringing the eggs is not here.

'Let us wait for the other ant to come here. We'll first observe how long will it take for the other ant to come here.' Rema said while hiding. The other Rema copied her.

They observed the ant that was carrying the ant eggs for an hour, and Rema concluded that the ant returns here every 15 to 20 minutes.

She didn't attack immediately but planned to attack after the ant arrives to give the ant eggs and leaves.

After waiting for a few minutes the ant arrived while carrying three ant eggs. It then gave it to other ants, and then left afterwards.

Rema waited for a few more minutes before signaling Rema1 to attack. They separated, and attacked the two ants at the same time.

Since Rema practiced her control of Spirit Arms, she managed to wound the ant easily compared to before. She then quickly entered through the wound and possess the ant.

Rema1 did the same to the other ant with the same efficiency.

Once they both controlled the ant, Rema experienced another headache since she was bombarded with a lot of information. She rested for a little before proceeding to control the ant.

She learned that there are 19 more rooms that are like this with the same amount of ant workers. She also learned that the other ant usually brings 100 to 150 ant eggs daily.

The two ant workers she is currently possessing will also be changed by other two ant workers after 2 days. This changing of ant workers always happens every two days.

'Alright, we'll be consuming 10 ant eggs every day so that we won't be noticed by the other ant. I'll be the first one to eat the first five ant eggs while you'll be guarding this place. Call me when there's an emergency.' Rema said while the clone's ant nodded.

Rema then moved the ant towards a place that is unnoticeable, and then got out of the ant's body. She then ate five ant eggs before returning to the ant worker's body.

She gained 0.25 Spirit Power from eating five ant eggs. She was full, and went back to her other clone to change positions.

'It's your turn.' Rema said while guarding the place. The clone left, and proceeded in eating ant eggs. After her clone was finished eating, the other ant worker arrived while carrying another batch of ant eggs.

"Here is the ant eggs." The ant worker said while passing the ant eggs towards her.

Rema controlled the ant to nod while getting the ant eggs. The other ant worker then left afterwards.

---

Two days passed and Rema managed to increase her Spirit Power by 1.5. She now has a total of 6.55 Spirit Power.

The past few days she only practiced her control of Spirit Arms, and she now managed to control 4 arms perfectly.

Today was the day where another two ant workers will replace both the ant workers she was possessing.

She planned to possess the other two ant workers when they are trying to replace them. She'll be wounding the other two ant workers while using the ant workers she was possessing. This way the other two ant workers will have there guard down.
