GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?-Chapter 35 Small Chunks Or Big Chunks.
He reached his house successfully. It was a small place at the top of a giant tree. Even though he was determined to achieve his dreams he couldn't help but look at what he would be leaving behind. He looked back fondly at his naive, ignorant, and lazy self. All his family has gone to the upper realm. They were probably waiting for him or not, but he wouldn't make it.
The fact that he had long detached himself from irrelevant things that won't foster his quest for power made it easier for him to let go. Then he suddenly laughed out loud, his voice resounded through the entire forest. It was a voice full of resolve and resolution, but there was no one there to witness it.
He wiped his face of his tears and began to put his plan into action. Even though the difficulty of a true reincarnation almost stifled him back in the tower of heaven, he didn't give up. He continued his research and was able to formulate a fail-safe plan that could achieve his goals.
Then he had exchanged his remaining points a divine core from a celestial god, 1 empty domain, 6 top-grade origin stones, 10 empty divine vessels, 10 sovereign seeds of power of various concepts, he had spent about 10 points in the library, he used the remaining to acquire divinity points, about 30,000 points of them.
Divinity is special, it is usually used by gods but it can also be used by other beings apart from gods. Those on the path of perfection and demons can absorb divinity with their soul and bodies to various effects. Divinity enhances the body and soul but it has limited use to those that aren't gods.
Also, it cannot be absorbed casually, or else the person absorbing it will lose his or her identity and think he or she is the god that the divinity belongs to. Divinity is to gods what origin essence is to origin gods, except it is relatively easier to refine divinity compared to origin essence.
There is also a limit to what people that aren't gods can absorb, it depends on the soul and body strength but even origin gods with immortal souls can only absorb a maximum of 1210 points of divinity. This circumstance makes divinity almost useless to a sovereign to those on the path of perfection.
As a high elf he had never absorbed divinity because it would reduce his sensitivity to laws, which will reduce his magic affinity, so he doesn't know the effects of absorbing divinity but he plans to find out in the future.
He entered his house and sealed it so as not to be disturbed by any external factor. He set up the defensive and camouflaging arrays so that no one would be able to pinpoint his location even if they sense energy fluctuations.
The house looked like a single room from outside, only on entering will someone realize that the space contained within it is too big and has reached exaggerated proportions.
For the first step, he had to separate his soul from his body. This step was part of his original plan, it would be a difficult endeavor for him but not impossible. It is just too painful that it will deter most people.
On the path of perfection, the requirement to become a transcendent is to fuse the body and the soul to form a soul body. The effect of this accomplishment is amazing, the soul body breaks the shackles of the mortal physiques. The energy levels of the body and soul will then be able to reach absurd levels and lifespan will be increased exponentially.
This makes the soul interlinked with the body, it makes the creation of clones easier, it makes healing and regeneration of lost body parts inherently possible, but it also makes it near impossible to separate the soul from the body.
He prepared a magical construct that is used to punish vile criminals to achieve the separation of his body from his soul. This magical construct is employed when transcendent and above criminals are punished with soul dissolution. It is a terrifying punishment that promises pain as the body and soul are disintegrated little by little.
This pain will make the criminals run mad even before they die, it is simply because soul pain is several times more painful than the pain of the body, but the pain they will suffer is from their soul rendering and being pulled apart bit by painful bit. 𝗯𝐞𝗱𝗻𝐨𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝗻𝗲𝐭
He has changed the magic construct and formulations within it so that it would only target the body instead of both the body and the soul. He had to spend some time studying the magical methods of constructing equipment and runesmithing. The pain would still be unimaginable but he would be able to keep his sanity and endure the process with his soul intact.
He stretched his hand and it disappeared into his personal dimension, then he pulled a large cylindrical vat out about 2 meters tall. This vat is the magical construct that will separate his soul from his body. He checked to make sure it was functioning perfectly then he placed several mid-grade origin stones into it as a power source.
He took out the special alcohol he had prepared. This alcohol is special, it affects the soul and the senses, it will make him numb to the pain to a significant extent. He drank the alcohol in one straight pull and then he quickly put away his clothes into his personal dimension and stepped into the vat naked. When he was done settling himself in, he waited for a little for the alcohol to take effect before he switched on the vat.
A special destructive wave permeated the inner space of the vat. This wave targeted his flesh and started stripping it away. He screamed in pain even with the alcohol numbing his senses. It was already difficult for any type of alcohol to make him drunk, but now the alcohol had to keep him drunk as something went away on his flesh with a hot knife.
He could reduce the pain by lowering the intensity of the destructive wave but that would only prolong his suffering. There isn't truly a difference in the palatability of either removing small chunks of flesh at a time as against removing bigger chunks.
