I Am Your Master, Assimilation Of The Physical Body

“Rise!”

“Yes, my Lord.” The giants responded.

“Now tell me everything about your race.”

///// A few minutes later. /////

'Interesting. This confirms my theory, there are races on other worlds apart from the 7 seven realms.'

'The giants are part of a species called [Planar Giants]. They are a race that have a high connection to the Nature of their world. This is to the point that the giants are born with a high talent to a specific element that they're aligned to at birth. This is decided by their bloodline.’

‘This allows them to wield that element to their command at will.’

'Moving on, the purpose of this scripture was to pass on their powers to a capable individual of their world so that he/she can stop an ongoing civil war between all the clans that may result with their extinction. This method is done a lot in their race to pass on either abilities or teachings.’

‘A shame, it ended up in my hands and I’m sure as hell not going to fight to stop some war.'

[Achievement Gained: One man > An entire race.]

‘Seriously?’

[I mean…]

‘Whatever.’

'The giants said that are alive and at the same time not. They exhausted their time in their world but were able to escape death just to pass this scripture on. After doing so they plan to return to death.'

'But the most important piece I got from them is that there’s another scripture, ancient. In that scripture resides giants that have control over space, gravity, time, etc.’

‘If I can get that scripture and rewrite them, it’ll be a major power boost.’

‘But I may not even get the chance if they are as powerful as they are said to be. However, If I approach them as the successor of this scripture. I may be able to get them to give me their inheritance in a smooth way.’

Done going over the information he had collected. Vincent was about to exit the space but the thought of something brilliant made him stop.

“System?”

[Yes?]

“What if I use The Word to replicate the skill Devour.”

[I’m sorry.]

“You see in my original world; I have read a lot of manga where there is a skill called Devour. It’s a skill that eats the enemy and absorbs all their skills and memories for the user more or less.”

“If I replicate that with The Word. Shouldn’t I be able to not only gain their skills but also their memories, experiences and martial arts.”

“And with The Eidetic Library of Knowing, I wouldn’t have to suffer from a memory influx. It can simply compile them for later review.”

[That… is actually brilliant!]

“I know! I’m only skeptical that disrupting death, and the cycle of life as a whole would lead to adverse effects.?''

[Don't worry, a few souls absent from the reincarnation cycle won't tip the balance. After all this is not the first-time souls have been taken.]

[Since the dawn of time, many souls have been removed from the reincarnation cycle either by curses of binding, divine beings, or just getting lost. But this doesn't usurp the balance.]

[Because the number of souls going through reincarnation is almost infinite. 1 million souls would not be noticed missing talk less of 7.]

[Nothing will happen if you decide to take the souls of these giants. Just a little bad karma a bit of good will fix.]

[Nonetheless, don't try to devour them all at once. Start with two and let your stronger soul crush and absorb theirs. Doing them all at once would be quite troublesome even for your kind of soul]

''Stronger soul?''

[Yes, your soul has not only been through reincarnation, The Fruit of Eden has also tempered it. In lame men term, they are fodder to you.]

''This really wouldn’t affect me like it does in the movies?''

[That would have happened if you didn’t make them obey you and love you as their master. Your command is now embedded into their very soul. They won't even put up a fight as they would love to be one with their 'eternal master'.]

“I see, so it’s settled then. The only thing left is which element I am going to take.”

'The best choice to pick would be two elements that complement each other rather than oppose, so fire and ice are a no go. I should pick from the several elements that complement each other, like;

Fire and wind, this should give me an even stronger fire.

Fire and Nature, it could lead to lava. But in reality this is not that impressive since an airborne enemy will make it useless.

(AN: When I refer to Nature, I mean Earth and Plants. So, I may use them interchangeably from now on.)

Fire and Lightning, effects unknown, I don’t have idea what would happen if I fuse them.

Water and Nature, effects unknown I have no ideas.

'Wind and lightning, it’s possible that I’ll be able to create an even stronger lightning and maybe even the weather

Vincent continual of various simulations of different elements. Their pros and cons led him to a conclusion he supported.

'I'll absorb fire and lightning for now. I don’t know how possible it is for them to fuse but the pure offensive power of both elements is simply too high to ignore. Even if a fusion is not possible, I would still have two very strong elements at my side.' He concluded

‘But first, to recover my Ether.’

///// 20 Minutes Later /////

“Lightning and Fire come.”

“Yes, my lord! x2” They responded and stepped forward.

“It’s now or never.” He braced himself.

“[Devour]”

Reliving the familiar feeling of the massive dip in Ether, He used The Word.

The two giants exploded into millions light particles brightening up the void.

They floated around and like a metal attracted to a magnet they rushed into Vincent.

These light particles contained millions of information and memories of the giants. This was then automatically sorted and stored by the Eidetic Library.

Here the first assimilation process began

It applied the muscle strength, density, and flexibility of the giants into Vincent’s own muscles. The blood of the planar giants also assimilated with his blood.

This caused a minor hiccup as when the blood of the planar giants met with the blood of the Cadmean. It begun to fight for dominance. However, The Cadmean was a stronger bloodline and won that battle with a single roar.

After all, how can an impure bloodline like that compete with the purest and direct bloodline of the Ancestral Cadmean.

Soon, the implementing of the body was finished next was for the soul.
