Seed of Chaos

*Hmm…, calm down Arthur let's figure out what's going down*

Talking to himself, Arthur began to think back to what had just happened before appearing in this strange space

"If memory serves me right, I was in the middle of awakening my mana"

"However, if that's the case then why am I here? Sylas never mentioned anything like this happening during awakening."

"Could it be because I'm not from this world, so some accident happened during the awakening!?"

Murmuring under his lips, Arthur began to think of all kinds of possibilities that could have led to the current situation unfortunately none quite hit the mark making him at a loss for what to do

It wasn't until a few minutes passed that he suddenly remembered the only thing that could have caused this situation

"The seed of chaos!"

As he said this, Arthur recalled the feeling just before he reincarnated and he could be sure it was exactly the same

If there were to be any difference, is that this time he is more aware of his surroundings unlike last time when he was still at a loss from his sudden death

And as if to prove his point, just as Arthur was thinking of the seed a change occurred in the surrounding space gaining his attention

*Boom! *

Followed by a loud sound, a giant golden version of the seed suddenly appeared before his eyes lighting up the surrounding space

However, even though it was completely covered in pure white light, Arthur could make out faint lines on its body

Judging from its looks alone, it seemed like some sort of black technology product strewn with circuits over it

"However, why do I feel like it's calling out to me for some reason?" said Arthur who had unknowingly reached out to the seed at some point

*Boom! *

*Boom! *

*Boom! *

Following his contact with the seed, explosions seemed to occur simultaneously throughout the whole space making it seem as if the whole world was about to collapse

"Damn just what in Elias is going on!"

Feeling the breath of destruction ever so close, Arthur couldn't help but curse out loud as he felt that this might be the end for him

Fortunately, things weren't completely done for yet as just as Arthur was about to give up, the seed that had caused all this trouble suddenly turned into a wisp of light and flew in his direction completely merging with him

And with that, the surrounding explosions stopped just as quickly as they started.

Now that was left was Arthur floating again in the empty void, only this time his eyes were bright and clear

Completely devoid of the confusion that he had displayed earlier

"ha-ha, so that's it!"

"Su Ming, you're more and more making me confused if I should hate you or resent you."

"After all, without you not only would I have not been able to come to a new world such as this, but I might have never gotten my hands on such a precious opportunity" 

Laughing hysterically, Arthur couldn't believe the information he had just gotten from the seed of chaos just now

Yes, in the process of merging with the seed, it also transferred some knowledge to him regarding its functions

Unfortunately, some of the information isn't complete as it was slightly altered and damaged in the process of reincarnation

"The seed of chaos, although I don't know which civilization created such a powerful artifact but it is truly an amazing thing''

"An artifact capable of creating multiple sub-seeds while also having the ability to completely control the hosts of those sub-seeds"

"Not only that but the genetic structure of the sub seeds can be completely read and the advantages are taken to help the chaos seed owner grow"

Thinking of these functions alone, in Arthur's view this seed alone was equivalent to creating an army of completely loyal soldiers where one would easily grow and perfect itself with each seed addition

"However, thanks to my accidental reincarnation and the mana of this world the functions of the seeds have slightly altered"

Talking to himself, Arthur waved his hand and turned the surrounding void into a vast and empty grassland with blue skies

"It turns out that the seed merged with my soul and some time and space matter in the process of transmigration creating this small soul world which is completely in my control"

"ha-ha at least that solves the question of where I am, it turns out that I'm in my own soul"

Laughing at himself, Arthur began to think about the other changes in the seed of chaos

"Another thing is that while it may have completely merged with my soul but the function to create sub-seeds still retains, not only that but the growth of sub-seed holders can in in turn feed back to me be it knights, mages, or whatever"

"However, I feel there might be some restrictions on this ability"

Although Arthur said this but he couldn't find what it was at this moment, it seems he needed to test it when he got back to the real world to figure out what it was as well as find out the other functions of the seed

"Oh right! Now that I think about it the others outside should be waiting by now"

"Especially Mum, she must be very worried at the moment"

Thinking of Sephrina's character, Arthur was sure she must be overreacting right now after witnessing him fainting after being injected with mana

Not only would she be worried out of her mind, but Arthur felt that even Sylas might not be having the best time right now

Luckily, thanks to the merging of the chaos seed, Arthur instinctively knew how to enter and exit the soul world at any moment

So, with that in mind, Arthur took one last glance at his surroundings before slowly disappearing from the soul world leaving only complete silence where he once stood.
