1037 Death By Digestion

Date- 4 April 2321

Time- 02:29

Location- Southern Region, Blossom District, Sun blossom city, Sewers

After I shut down all my senses to pretend to be an ordinary pebble such that my curious sense would not attract the attention of the card apprentice hiding in the Empty beast as they explored the sewer tunnel, I realized that with all my senses gone I would have no idea of what was transpiring outside. Which meant I would not know if the empty beast left or not. I could continue to restrain from using my senses for a day or so but that would not be a productive use of my time. Considering that my life was at stake here I could compromise and pretend to be a pebble for a day, a week, or even a month but just playing dead would not guarantee my safety would it now?

Yes, it was true that as long as I do not show signs of spirituality n.o.body could see through my disguise as a pebble but what if something unexpected happens? For example, one of the famished sewer rats swallowing my pebble body finding it appetizing, or one of the enemy semi-demiG.o.ds deciding to blow the entire sun blossom city sky high as a desperate resort.

In this world, sewer rats were a lot more tenacious than seen on earth, for survival, these rats' stomach acid had been enhanced to digest stones and other natural minerals. So if my pebble body were to come across a hungry sewer rat I would become rat food without me realizing it. As my soul would be asleep trying to disguise myself as a regular rock with no spirituality. If I were aware of my surroundings I would stop that from happening by scarring away the rat with a little show of might. Even though it would have the risk of exposing my whereabouts to those looking still it was better being digested by a sewer rat.

As for one of the enemy semi-demiG.o.d detonating the entire sun blossom city as a desperate measure was more likely than a sewer rat feeding on my pebble body, it only proved that I had to get out of the sun blossom city as soon as possible. I could not afford to waste time hiding in the sewers pretending to pebble.

Yes, I do feel sorry about the citizen of the sun blossom city being implicated in all this, with my strength I would be kidding myself if I thought I could help them or with the semi-demiG.o.d battle, the only way I could help was by making it to sky blossom city. Only that way I could put an end to this semi-demiG.o.d battle.

Considering the importance of Mike's origin card to the supreme leader, the circle's semi-demiG.o.d would stop at nothing to get his corpse back. Me telling them that I had already used Mike's corpse would not help, first, they would not believe me, second, even if they did believe me then I would only give them more reasons to come target me. Nothing I did would help here, the best solution was to return to Sky blossom city. This way Anna could officially come out and mediate between the circle's semi-demiG.o.ds and my bodyguards into calling it quits or they would suffer her wrath. For that to happen I could not waste time pretending to be a pebble without spirituality.F

Now that was a dilemma, so I decided to risk it by freeing one of my senses, the basic sense of the touch, which in the case of my pebble body would mean sensing the influence of the surrounding on it through the vibration. I was willing to do this because the soul energy utilized in this was no more than the existence of the pebble itself. So the soul energy activity here was negligible and not noticeable unless you were a very strong array master that is.

As a human, I had no experience in interpreting the vibration input I gained from my surrounding through my pebble body thankfully I had Hive AI which converted the a.n.a.log data collected by the sense of touch of my pebble body into something that I could understand at negligible soul energy activity. Allowing me to actively monitor the changes in my surrounding. Though this did not allow me to directly see the empty beast like the soul pupils or the soul radar allowed me to it made me aware of the anomaly in the s.p.a.ce from where the empty beast was peeking into the real s.p.a.ce. The presence of this anomaly and its movement made me aware of the presence of the empty beast and its movements.

Thanks to this I was able to deduce that the empty beast had not left my vicinity yet and instead it seemed to have stopped at the hole through which my calamity daughter clone had burrowed into the sewer tunnels from the surface. This I found peculiar as the empty beast seemed to be very interested in that particular spot more than exploring the sewer tunnel. Seeing the empty beast's fixation in this place I could not help but find it odd and wonder.

Soon the anomaly in the s.p.a.ce that made me aware of the presence of the empty beast in my vicinity was no more as the empty beast had entered the real world. It seems unable to find any clue about my whereabouts the empty beast seemed to have decided to come out of the empty s.p.a.ce into the real s.p.a.ce to scrutinize that spot of the sewer tunnel more thoroughly.

But by doing this I could not only feel the vibration of the empty beast in the surroundings but also the minute vibrations of the sound it was producing. When I focused on these minute vibrations it turned out to be the conversation of the people hiding in the empty beast.

"Isn't this where one of the Clones of the boy got picked up by the circle's semi-demiG.o.ds?" one of the card apprentices in the empty east spoke.

"Yes, it is. But this also happens to be the location where the B-rank clones of the boy transmitted the information of their death to."
