The scheme

"It's a waste of throwing this subject away. It did complete the experiment, but there was a big problem. It has consciousness and it's a mortal... But I can't let this chance pass. I also don't want to wait for another long time."

Yo-han has a question mark above his head. He doesn't understand what this man is saying.

"Oh well, I'll just have to do that."

[Suggestion: Mortal assimilation is not recommended. ]

"Bah! Do I look like I wanted this opportunity to pass by? No way! I'm already bored in this place."

The man protested to the voice. He was quite agitated.

"Boy, there is a reason why you're here. I will tell you about it. You and I are the same but at the same time, we are not. How should I mortally say this?... Doppelganger? Clone?Parallel self? Now that I think of it, it's hard to explain this situation to a mortal. Either way, you'll know soon. Though, I doubt you'll find this information useful. If you will not exist anymore."

'What do you mean?' Yo-han asked in his mind.

"Long story; I was chased by powerful enemies, you see. To get away from them, I trapped myself in this place. If I get out of this place, only death awaits me. I don't want that to happen!

So more or less, I created an experiment to get out of this place. But, I did not expect all my work to be a failure for many light years.

Failure after failure, I was on the verge of giving up. But you came!

But the problem is, you're a mortal and has still consciousness left. Although you are me, but I'm not you. So I have to remove you to become you. Your body has completed the experiment but your consciousness remains.

I know you still don't understand my explanation. I can't blame a mortal like you for understanding.

Right now, My only choice is to assimilate with you. Don't blame me for this... Don't worry boy, I will take care of everything. Just rest for now and let me handle everything. Your grudge and dreams, I will do it for you."

Yo-han listened to the man. He was in disbelief. He is not stupid enough to not take a hint of what's going on. Either way, he already died.

If what he guessed is right. Assimilation will make him a memory and this man will take over control over his body.

That thought was horrifying but what can he do? Nothing. There is nothing he can do...

[Sequence start...

Mortal assimilation is in progress...

Time assimilation 75:1999:364:23:59:59

Divine energy reserve in use

Time acceleration activated

....]

"Huh? Ugh, My head." Yo-han's body moved. Clutching his head in pain. "What's happening?"

[Scanning: Error! Mortal consciousness dominated. Warning! Warning! Protocol activated! Memory generating!]

Yo-han felt sharp needles stabbing in his brain. He crouched on the ground, hugging his head, rolling on the ground. Gritting his teeth, eyes bloodshot and Ears ringing.

He was just closing his eyes but when he opened his eyes. He can still see and control his body. He was puzzled. He thought he would disappear.

Memories of the man appeared in his mind. Yo-han's soul and that man's soul merge. The man's soul should dominate him but it did not.

[Miscalculation: The subject soul is a God-Celestial Rank.]

"Ugh... So his name was Lucas, The God of Lust and Love?"

Lucas was an infamous god in God Realm. He was notorious for his ability to steal wives from men. What's more terrifying is that this man gets stronger as he beds women. He became one of the most powerful individuals in God's Realm.

Only a handful of gods could stand against him. Even the God Emperor cannot take him lightly.

Gods are higher beings that possess godly powers. They can reach the power of absolute being in the universe. The God's goal is to reach the level of the creator.

Unfortunately, No one was able to reach that level. Even Lucas wasn't able to reach that level.

Now we will talk about the soul. Even if Gods are higher beings, they possess souls like every living intellectual. These souls are ranked

From Low to High, Mortal, Royal, Immortal, and Gods. Every major rank has 3 minor levels. Mortal to Immortal is categorized, as low, mid, and top.

The God-rank soul is exclusive to the Higher beings, it has also 3 levels. Lord, Divine, and Celestial.

In other words, Yo-han has a God-Celestial rank soul. As Yo-han recalled, Lucas has a God-Divine rank soul. He was able to swallow Lucas's Soul making him the dominating party.

Lucas miscalculated the result. He thought, Yo-han who was a mortal had a mortal soul. Because that should be it. No one would believe a mortal having God rank soul. Because God-ranked soul is only applied to Higher Beings.

Humans are mortals. It would be already surprising to have a Royal soul. Nonetheless an Immortal? The Royal soul appears in one in a billion human beings. If Earth has an 8 Billion population, it should have 7-8 Royal souls.

Now for the scheme that Lucas concocted.

Lucas planned to create a body that could host him. This body will be able to trick other gods. But Lucas failed so many times that he doubted if such a thing could be done. But his tenacious self would not give up.

Lucas found hope when Yo-han appeared. Unfortunately, as if fate mocking him, he was swallowed... He waited patiently, in the end, all of that for naught.

Yo-han felt an indescribable feeling within. He was prepared to disappear. He already accepted his fate. However, fate gave him a chance.

[Assimilation Completed!]

After the Assimilation, Yo-han acquired the power of Lucas. This power, if he returns to Earth... He would be out of rank. No one would be able to touch him.

Yo-han scoffed. To think he easily acquired the strength for his revenge. Shaking his head.

"Navi, What's the status?"

Yo-han called out the voice. This voice is the thing that supervises space isolation. God doesn't use the concept of buildings like Humans. They use dimensions of different places such as homes, workshops, stores, etc.

Space Isolation is also known as Laboratory. Gods can use this kind of place to create things unimaginable to mortals.

Lucas created space isolation in one of the forbidden places. Even gods would have second thoughts of navigating this place.

Navi is a system that supervises the dimension.

"Hmm, I see."

[Name: Kim Yo-han

Rank: X-Rank(Mortal)

True Rank: Divine God (God)]

"What's the difference between the Rank and True rank?"

[Rank: Mortal rank in Mortal plane. Immortals and Gods cannot descend the mortal plane, their rank will be suppressed by the will of heaven.

Mortal rank has 9 Levels; E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS, and X.

True Rank: Your True Rank.

Warning: Kim Yo-han's rank has been suppressed by the will of heaven. Recommend to ascend...]

"Wait! So I'm still on Earth?" Yo-han exclaimed in surprise.

[Answering: Yes, Kim Yo-han is true body is still of a planet you call EARTH. Hence, you are restricted to the will of the heavens. I suggest ascending]

"Can I get out of this place?" Yo-han ignored its suggestion. Navi does not have emotions. However, it acted like it had when Lucas and Navi were conversing. Lucas ordered to do so... Despite that, Navi is still emotionless.

[Yes: The assimilation has been completed. Kim Yo-han is free to get out and in this place.]

Yo-han knew that. He had already seen Lucas's memories. Dimensions can be accessed anywhere in the universe as long as you have the coordinates.

Lucas plans to use this body so he can assimilate to escape from this place. If he got out of this place using his original body, he would get out into a place where countless gods were waiting for him. That would be his doom.

Also if he succeeds in assimilating. The Gods will not be able to recognize him who he is. In other words, Lucas wants to change his identity. But it's hard for gods to change their identity because every god has a distinct mark that other gods can recognize.

Lucas, once he succeeds in assimilation. He can teleport to the place where the body he assimilated came from. Unfortunately.

"Take me back to Earth," Yo-han said. His eyes squinted scarily. He will have his revenge.

[Affirmative.

Generating Portal.]

Yo-han steps into the portal. His heart was beating in excitement. Yo-han experienced the time of assimilation. For 75000 years, he watched the memories of Lucas.

Thankfully, the time was accelerated. Only a day or so had passed since the start of assimilation.
