alex looked at the most mysterious lotus bud curiously moving his focus to it the once again touched it and the red display popped up however he was disappointed
[ ding]
[ soul form discovered... ]
[dsecripiton ?????]
[function ???]
[ablities ???]
[upgrading ...]
alex was unable to obtain any useful information from the display except that the fact that it was a unique soul form of his similar to the soul flame
it was atthis moment alex understood his uniqueness
although he had no abilities and his CGM was nothing but a glorified communication module his soul was another matter entirely it was simply overpowered existence standing head and shoulders taller than the soul of any known expert
summarising the changes within his sea of conciousness alex released a strip of intent generated from the mind core
a pure strand extended from the surface of the core reflecting the light it appeared like a silver wire flexible yet unbreakeable looking at hte new state of his intent alex smiled his earlier thoughts were accurate
immediately alex took action
reetutnig his atention to the outside world alex focoused on the stone door again
on using realm eye he noticed the sharp decine in mental energy requireed one of the side benefits obtained from the risky condensation of a mind core
looing at the haughty hex imprinted on the stone door ale sterached out his intent from the core reaching out from the sea of conciousness out of the barrier and passing it into the replica outside the sea's barrier with the intent stilll connected to the main mind core he coilled the intent like a high tention spring easily within the replica before releasing it at the hex's origin particle behind the restriction
like a beam of light the intent flew otu of alex's body piercing through the web like restriction like a piece of paper instantly shattering it instantly the silver wire like intent connected with the origin particle the intetn directly transmitted the frequency of origin into alex's mind passing through the replica then ending at the barrier of the sea of conciousness
instantly the reflection of that hex appeared in its own region and recorded the frequency instsntly achiving resonnance and activeting the hex on the stone door
alex was shocked bby the speed
as from the monent he activated the relm eye to the activation of the hex it took him no more than 5 seconds
afterall it was easier to copress a thin wire like intent than to compress the rod shaped intent he relied on earlier
overall the condenstaion of the mind core was a net positive action
sigh the sct of sharpening the axe does not delay the work of cutting down the tree however it is necessary to use the right wheatstoone to sharpen the right axe for the job alwx saind reminicing slowly absorbing the benefits of the upgrade
al though it seemed the main changes had only occoured on is intent alex could feel tha thte changes were all rounded
from the clarity of hiss pthysical sensess it went wiihiiut sayingsthat there was an upgrade to this preeptiion in genral and his mind was flilled with a strange felling of coolness making him calm within him he felt the shrpp diffrence in his mental state when he felt the aura of impending doom he normally felt when he delayed on the labyrinth floor now he no loonger felt the panic within his mind he only felt the need for him to hurry up and leave the labrinth riise on his priority list the feeling of anxiety gone from his toughts
moving on to the next hex alex instntlyy activated it leaving the imprint on the replica and recording thhe frequency of origin on the refected hex on his sea of consciousness
instantly falling into a steady rythmn alex soon activated all 81 hexes on the stone door
slowly the door glowed brightly and began to dissolve just like the others laving only a simle barrire of light in its place
the moment alex activated the both doors a relaxing wind escaped from both doors wafting out towards alex it was another wave of pure mental aura
immediately alex sat crosslegged and began to absorb the enregy
wihin his mental space the energy flooded in alex directly merged the energy into the replica
the mentel energy condensed on the replia=ca as though it was its second nature
not a speck of this pure energy touched the barrier of the sea of conciousness taking this massive amount of energy in the replica of the mind core continued to grow in size growing from its previous 2 centimeter diameter into 5 cm then 10 cm it continued to expand as it gatered more of the energy into its self buliding up its mass however this decreased its concenteration this quick dilution made it teether on the edge of instability thinking quickly alex sent out a thick strand of intent from the main mind core into the replica the intent directly merged into the replica and the golden replica began to contract drawing in all the it could like a massive tornado suckinig in the mental energy released from the two passageways
this furious absorbtion from alex's body stimulated a change in the hallway the two opposite doorways began to approach each other drawing nearer to the midpoint of the chamber
alex was not paying these changes any mind and focused all his attention inwardly trying his best to make optimal use of this opurtunity
with the formation of the tornado the replica began to transmit the purified energy from its innermost area into the main mind coore expanding the outer hexagonal area of the mind core
alex continued to observe tehse change he finally understood what the function of the outer layer of the mind core was
taking the opportunity where there was abundant mental energy around him alex began to use the third ability of the mind core replica manipulation
releasing his will alex reached out into is body feeling for the sppot within his mental body that connected to the realm eye slowly drawing that compoment into the tornado of mental enegy merging it directly into his replica that spot was actually a primary componnet of his percetion
yes alex wanted to manipulate his mind core projecton into a percepton organ using theis ooprtunity
like a western withch creating a potin within her black calulron alex began his concotion process merging vast amounts of intent into his realm eyes he slowly drew the realm eyes he had constructeed into the eplicaa merging them into one single eye
unlike the other components of the concoction alex didnot destery and merge the eye but left it in a soliid form while he merged the central core of the replica into the eye colouing the deep purple iris of the realm eye with a beutiful golden edge before spreading out innto the outer layer of the replica
slowly alex felt his mental perception merging smotly undre the influence of his will and his intent as a catalyst integrating seamlessly with the eye now alex felt he would no longer be required to use his eyesto be able to sense the sands of reality
using only his intent the mental image of the surroundung free particles would brcome visible
alex was satisfied with his upgrade with this his next plan wouldd become much sipler
to alex's suprise the mental energy was still surging into his body
oohh well then lets make some more adjustments then,
alx was motivated to make the mot of this opportunity drwaing in even more energy alex released anotheer stream of intent from the main core to the replica drawing in even more energy
slowly uilding up the dilution of the replica alex focused fully on the replica waitnig calmly for the chance
soon the repliac's outre area began to ripple unsttably
now
alex immeduatly used the second chance to use replica manipulation and focoused this time on the outer layer of it
using his will to direct alex spread out the outer area f the replica like the white of a egg spread out on a pan streach ing it out while absorbing energy into it
alex spread out the layer straching it ovre the entire barrier of the sea of consciousness by increasing the area it covered while absorbing the abundant energy alex was able to maintaiin itts structural integrity s
slowly it covered the ebtire barrier however it did not have direct contact with it leaving a distinct seperation between them
only the inner purpl area of the replica that had merged with the realm eye technique and alex's percption touched the surface of the barrier creating a channel connecting both barriers
with the aid of the overflowing mental energy the new barrier slowly started stablizing alex continued his manipulation drawing in more energy and extracting vast amounts of intent from the main core alex passed this intent which was so thick it coulld only be called a silver rod out of the sea of concoiusness and through the pupil of the realm eye
then spreading the intent in between the new barrier and the inner core of the replica
stimulating the outer layer with the pressure from the new layer of intent alex compressed the thin barrierlayer starting from the new location of the realm eye slowly turning the transprent outer layer more opaque adding a rapidly spreading gloden hus to it
the more gloden it was the more solid it became spreading out from the middle alex continued to manipulate the replica imubuing more mental energy into it afterall it was free
without wasting the slighteset effort alex used the mental energy to increase the thickness of the outer barrier turning it from a fragile mental barrier to a solid golden mental wall.
