Chapter 129
When my vision reciprocated and send information through my brains, it send me awareness of where I am.
I am currently standing alone in a dark space, the void is lacking of colours and light.
Boom!
Suddenly, the booming sound created a violet light around the me, it provides violet light throughout this domain of void.
Bum! Dum! Bum! Dum. Bum. Dum.
A beating sound echoed into the void domain. I look to the center and what I saw surprised me, It is a wisp of purple gem.
This seems like the cosmic energy where the power gem resides. I don't believe that a literal Infinity gem will be formed inside my body. This is more like a trace of it's cosmically elemental object tying the universe.
Only beings of immense power can directly wield the Stones, even me had to deal with its consequences. Unlike Mad Titan and the Celestials wielding its power expertly, I only held it for a couple of seconds and resulting in burning my whole arm.
Fortunately, it has a will on its own even though I'm not sure how I know it myself.
Dum. Bum. Dum. Bum.
A beating effects rhythmically echo as I stared at the center. I have no idea what am I suppose to do at this place. Being in here without any explanation while worrying what is happening to my real body.
'Wait, am I physically transported or it's just my consciousness?' I turned the clog of my brain as the beating sound continues.
Bum. Dum. Bum. Dum. Bum. Dum
I explore the void as I tried to fly or walk but the space seems to be not going along with me. I'm stuck on my place noticing that the sound of beating constantly changing the frequency of its light and sound.
' Is it communicating?' I asked myself since no one is around me.
Dum. Bum. Dum
" I can't understand your language, I don't even have an expertise on morse code."
Bum. Dum. Bum. Dum. Bum. Dum.
' Wait, morae code? Really?'
Dum. Bum. Dum. Bum...….
My eyelid is literally twitching, I have said I have no expertise in morse code so I'm having a hard time understanding what those beats means.
Bum. Dum. Dum. Bum. Dum. Dum....
" I only understand tidbit of whatever that beats meaning is, but I have an idea of what your telling me. You're saying that you will help me get stronger as long as I let you have a little control over my body?"
" Yeah, No way. I have patience and I don't have to immediately get short cut way of gaining strength. I rather train and get control over my power than being a walking destruction like you."
DUM! BUM! DUM! BUM! DUM….
" I don't mean you are literally taking control, I know you are not built that way. I don't want anything from you yet right now, but there will be time in the future. Don't misbehave or else I'll just cut off my whole arm and grow another one."
Bum. Dum. Bum. Dum....
" And really, stop using my insides as your playground. It still hurts since I have insufficient bodily strength to handle your power." I also told him a critical information as even just a wisp of its energy made me sweat combined with my mental power in controlling the circulation.
Dum. Bum. Dum. Bum. Dum...
' It is saying that it's not it that is releasing the energy but it is my body who wants it. My body? Is my body unconsciously absorbing the cosmic energy release by the power gem? '
It is not impossible but in my case, too much power gained in a quick manner will only results in miserable conditions.
I believe that taking step by step process is a necessity since knowing the state of Wanda and Pietro every time they lost control of their emotions.
" Power gem, since you're not a person and you don't have a complete consciousness. You can't have awareness of some real entity so I'll just call you, Egogem."
Dum! Bum! Dum. Bum...
'It did approve. Ego gem it is.' The Ego gem didn't reject its given name, so I'll just call it Egogem.
" Egogem, can you tone down the release of your energy so that I can have a relax time with my family and not worry about own state anymore."
Bum. Dum. Bum. Dum. Bum. Dum. Bum. Dum....
'It did mention that it can do that but only when I have stronger physique, the more I can handle all of its energy. ' Egogem warned me also about losing my own emotion at a critical time while having an insufficient strength may lead to me changing the handler.
It's meaning about changing the handler is stepping onto the Overload State which is it would prioritise my instincts instead of rational thinking.
It's not like another being will control my body per se, but it is another topic if that instincts is influenced by my emotions.
" Egogem, how did I get here by the way?"
Bum. Dum. Bum. Dum. Bum....
It said that I concentrated too much on moving along with the circulation that those energies lead me to its void domain.
" How can I go out and head back here to converse with you, maybe someday you will learn some real words."
Bum. Bum. Dum. Bum. Dum. Bum....
' I just need to do what I did before and my body and mind will remember it by themselves.' It is convenient doing just that instead of learning many skills in order to learn something new.
" Okay Egogem, I'll get going now. Don't forget your promise. I'll visit you again soon."
Bum. Dum. Bum. Dum. Bum....
I focus my mind on 'waking up' and my image inside the void domain blurred at first before scattering into countless light fragments.
Bum. Dum.
I only heard two beats before opening my eyes again. I am not sure if the Bum. Dum was from Egogem's sign of goodbye or that is my first two heartbeats after coming back to real world.
