Devil's Core

►The core's possessor goes through 4 stages to fully transform into a devil, the first two stages are called the trail stages:

♦1. Rejection Stage

•The core awakens but doesn't recognize its possessor as its owner.

•The core absorbs anything foreign except the Soul Essence which prevents its possessor from cultivating at this stage.

•The core absorbs foreign life force and releases dark force.

Although dark force could heal, absorbing it is lethal due to its addictive nature and negative proprieties.

•The core absorbs the souls of victims the possessor devours and shoves them into their Sea of Consciousness.

♦2. Madness Stage

•The souls begin to interfere with the possessor in various ways.

•The souls merge eventually and wrestle the possessor for control of his body.

•Either the possessor gets drowned in the souls he absorbed and becomes a total monster or rejects them and gets the core acknowledgment.

►After the core's approval, the possessor goes through two more stages, Growth & Transformation.

♦3. Growth Stage

•The core accepts the possessor as its rightful owner and allows them access to all of their abilities.

•The absorption of the remanent souls results in their Soul Essence getting converted by the core into the Devil's Essence.

•The core's outer shell begins to crack the more Devil's Essence it devours.

♦4: Transformation Stages.

Initial:

•The core's outer shell collapses entirely.

•Thin hollow roots start to spread from the core throughout the possessor's body

Intermediate:

•The core stops absorbing the Devil's Essence for itself.

•Devil's Essence is fed to the possessor's body, which slowly transforms it from the inside.

Final:

•The possessor's body is fully transformed into the Devil's Body.

•Totally dependent on the possessor as they need to find a way to destroy the outer shell formed by absorbing the dark force in the early stages.
