Sea Experiment

Luther summoned the Tide in his mind, then imagined the Tide appearing outside his body and engulfing him.

"Whoosh--"

Soon, a thick, ethereal liquid surged in from all directions. This liquid was deep black, yet it seemed to contain all other colors, and it directly submerged Luther's body. A noisy, frenzied roar echoed in his mind as he plummeted into the seawater until the surroundings suddenly became light, and the sound of the Tide rang out with unparalleled clarity.

Opening his eyes, Luther found himself on that illusory sea. He and M were standing on the surface of the water, the tide lapping at their feet.

Although it wasn't his first time here, he was still awestruck by the strange scenery.

"Whoosh--"

This is a vast sea, its horizon and overhead obscured by a white mist. Beyond the Fog, in a place currently unseen, stands the True Creator. If that's the case, what lies on the other side of the mist above?

Luther looked around and couldn't help but have this thought in his mind.

Of course, he hadn't forgotten the purpose of his visit. He reached inside his body and extracted Katie's soul.

"Where is this?"

She said, confused and terrified, and Luther tightened his fingers slightly, so she just kept screaming and stopped asking questions.

"How do you do it? Just soak it in seawater?"

Luther looked at M.

Upon returning, he suddenly felt that what the other person had said wasn't very reliable. This seawater was murky, dark, and viscous, looking extremely dangerous. If a human soul were placed inside, it would likely quickly become tainted with something strange.

"You can't soak it directly; this sea is still very dangerous."

M replied.

"Since seawater is so dangerous, do you still believe it can nourish the soul?" Luther asked coldly. "Are you kidding me?"

You tried to convince me with those words, but now you're saying it's dangerous here. You've said everything you could want!

"Haven't you noticed yet?"

M's expression remained unchanged, but he pointed to his feet, "Of this sea area, only a small section is under your control. The sea area under your control is safe."

Upon hearing this, Luther couldn't help but look down.

Sure enough, just as she said, the seawater beneath his feet was different. Compared to the seawater further away, the seawater beneath his feet was calmer and clearer. Although it hadn't completely turned black, it wasn't as murky either. It was as if some impurities in the seawater had been removed.

This area of sea is not very large, only existing within a radius of three to five meters around him. As he walks on the water, this area of sea will move with him, keeping him always in the center.

Indeed, this seawater is somewhat different.

Luther thought to himself, and opened his arms.

The seawater beneath his feet rose and fell with his thoughts, transforming into a stream that he controlled, sometimes rising and sometimes falling. As the seawater filled his body, he sensed the abilities of other Sequence and grasped the corresponding authority.

When his Spirituality extended towards the distant sea, the chaotic waters only gave him a dull response and did not accept his control. It was like a dog he didn't know very well; it wouldn't pounce and bite, but it wouldn't cooperate with him much either.

"Does this mean I don't have enough control over this place?"

He seemed to be talking to himself, yet also as if he were asking M a question.

"Very likely."

How to improve control?

"Continue with promotions."

M replied, "Once you're promoted to 'Black Knight,' you should be able to control a much larger area than you do now."

"Um."

Luther nodded slightly, agreeing with her point of view.

The difference between Sequence 5 and Sequence 4 is enormous. The former is at most Mid-Sequence powerhouse, while the latter is known as a "Demigod, half-human," with a completely different level of life. Ince Will is Sequence 4, and with Luther's current abilities, he probably cannot defeat him. But it is precisely because of this that he has such a strong obsession with advancing to the next level and achieving revenge as soon as possible.

Back to the present, Luther looked at the sea, but was somewhat troubled.

How do you purify your soul?

When he exists here, this independent sea area can form, repelling other seawater. However, when he leaves here, this seawater will likely mix with other seawater, completely diluted, not only having no effect but also harming his soul.

This area is quite similar to Mr. Fool's Gray Fog Castle. It would be nice if there were a table like there.

He thought to himself Consciousness.

"Boom!"

A dull thud sounded from beneath his feet, startling him, and something surfaced. It was a ring of gray stones, clustered together, resembling the edge of something, rising above the water. The object that made it up looked smooth and warm to the touch, yet was incredibly hard.

What is it?

Luther examined it closely and discovered that the gray stone was Sealing below its edges, resembling a pool. Much of the object was hidden beneath the surface, obscured by the murky, dark water, its full form obscured.

"What's this?"

He asked M.

"I don't know, I've never seen it before."

The latter shook his head, equally puzzled. "Is it related to you?"

Yes, I was thinking before, it would be great if there were something similar to the Gray Fog. Luther also had some doubts. He looked at the gray thing and silently thought about making it rise or fall. However, after it appeared, the thing stopped responding to Luther and remained completely still, as if it had always remained in that state.

"No, I can't control it."

Luther abandoned his attempt to control it. He circled the edge of the gray stone but couldn't see anything more below. He could only instinctively guess that it might be part of some kind of structure.

However, although it is unknown what it is or what its relationship is with this sea, it provides a place for the soul to rest—it rises from Luther's feet, and the pool-like structure is filled with seawater under Luther's control.

"This thing should stay put. Even if I leave, it won't go down," Luther thought to himself, before placing Katie's wisp of soul into the pool's seawater.

"Gurgle, gurgle."

The soul was as Feather Fall as if it had no weight, while the seawater was viscous and heavy. Luther Ze had thought that Katie's soul would float on the surface of the seawater, but he did not expect it to sink to the bottom. He took a step forward and saw Katie's soul lying at the bottom of the pool through the not-so-deep water, enveloped by the seawater. Her blurred face did not show any pain, but instead became peaceful.

Her previously damaged soul seemed to be nourished and was slowly recovering.

It seems like that would work.

Luther thought to himself.

However, this is only a temporary solution; we still need to continue observing.
