Scene change

Inside the spiritual space, a slightly transparent, illusory, humanoid creature resembling a human hovered. The features of his body were blurry, the only noticeable detail were two glowing blue circles, divided in half and located in the eye area. It was Ernes, whose illusory silhouette consisted of pure spiritual energy.

Not far from Ernes, a sphere filled with white fog hovered. Ernes stretched out his hand and pulled the sphere towards him. Taking it in his hand, he examined it carefully, thinking to himself.

"The yellow rashu has destroyed the surface part of the personality, it will save me some time. At this stage, it will take me a couple of years to completely get rid of the remnant of Franz's personality and process this pure spiritual energy. During this time, I will be able to partially stabilize my soul, this will increase my spiritual energy and the processing time will be reduced."

Having stopped thinking about the sphere, Ernes put it a few meters away from himself. After that, he focused on himself. Scanning himself over and over, he thought.

"The damage caused by the will of the planet has been largely repaired. Although now, I have to be in a physical body. According to my calculations, I will be able to get rid of him forever only when I move into super dimension."

The control of the beam, during the attack on the planet, was led by a small consciousness. It does not have full consciousness and can only execute pre-prescribed commands. As the beam approached, the surrounding aura of the beam affected the planet, thereby awakening its consciousness. The consciousness perceiving the aura as an attack on itself, began to resist it. The problem was that one of the teams in the small consciousness responsible for protection also perceived the action of the will of the planet as an attack.

Thus, a conflict was unleashed between them. Only when the reserves of spiritual energy began to run out, an emergency command was triggered, its function was to awaken Ernes. After awakening and assessing the situation, Ernes used most of his pure spiritual energy, activating the law card, which destroyed the will of the planet for a while. Over time, the will of the planet will have to be restored.

After an exhausting battle with the will of the planet, Ernes needed an abundant amount of pure spiritual energy to heal the damage. Due to certain reasons, he couldn't make up for it himself. Not finding a way out, he came to a more productive way out, to parasitize the soul of the nearest weak being, with a reasonable soul. Fortunately, he landed near the settlement of intelligent beings. Quickly finding the nascent soul, Ernes integrated into it and, after giving some commands to the small consciousness, fell asleep.

Even wounded, Ernes was a powerful accumulation of spiritual energy. This affected the creature in which he was parasitizing, increasing intelligence and spiritual component, and also slightly changed his appearance. Due to this, the creature showed faster development compared to its relatives.

But the advantages ended there, when the creature reached a certain threshold of development, the small consciousness began to send a small suggestion for the prolongation of the genus. At the same time, starting to absorb the pure spiritual energy of the being and direct it to the treatment of Ernes.

Due to the fact that Ernes was embedded in the soul from the very beginning, his powerful spiritual energy directly affected the pure energy of the being, which facilitated its absorption in the future. When there was little pure energy left in the being, the suggestion of a small consciousness reached a maximum and forced the being to prolong the race.

When the creature mated, Ernes, under the control of a small consciousness, passed into the nascent fragment of the soul. This process lasted for millennia, until at one point, due to the death of the carrier, a small consciousness awakened Ernes.

If the killing of the carrier occurred earlier, when Ernes' injuries have not yet healed. That small consciousness, without awakening the main personality, using the pure energy of the dying carrier, moved to the nearest weaker being, and continued the cycle until complete healing.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"During all this time, I was not discovered, which means that the main part of the backup plan was successful. After all, a fragment of the will of the universe can limit the vision of powerful beings. The main thing is that this fragment does not turn me into a servant of the universe."

After stopping the analysis, Ernes took control of the body and looked at the corpse lying on the floor in a pool of blood. Franz's eyes were empty, without signs of life, and a grimace of pain froze on his face. Ernes took the healing capsule in his hand and approached the corpse.

"Need to change the scene a little in the right direction."

Directing a channel of spiritual energy to Franz's wounds, Ernes broke the capsule. After a while, the wounds on the corpse healed. Ernes used his spiritual energy to remove the remnants of the healing rashu in the corpse, leaving no trace of its use.

After that, he dragged the corpse closer to the door and took the dagger and made several holes in his suit. He tried to make them look like a hole made by Franz. Cutting a vein in his arm, he spilled blood on the holes in his suit. After painting it with blood, Ernes went to the place of Franz's death and mixed the blood left on the floor with his own, spilled a trail of blood to the table. When he was done, he used another capsule to heal the wound.

After throwing all the fragments of the capsules he used near the table, Ernes approached Franz's corpse and wiped the dagger into his hand. Moving away from the corpse, he looked around the room. After making sure that everything was in order, Ernes went to the table and sat down, leaning against it with his back, hugged his knees and put his head on them. Feigning a blank stare, he stared at Franz's corpse. At the same time, using his spiritual energy, he used up a significant part of the rashu in his body, bringing him to exhaustion.

"The only drawback is the holes in the butler's suit, which I won't be able to clean up in a short time. But that doesn't apply to me."

A few minutes later, the sounds of blows sounded and the door swung open with force, causing Franz's corpse to fly away. Two people dressed in full, black, light armor ran into the room. Traces of damage and blood were visible on the armor. The face of the warriors was hidden by helmets pointed to the chin, with vertical stripes. On the armor, in the area of the heart, an emblem with the image of a shield was visible, on which the infinity sign was located.

One of the warriors had a thinner and more feminine outline of the body, in his hand was a rapier covered with a layer of frost, from which a frosty mist was coming. The second with a more massive body, held axes with a long blade in both hands, which was covered with a transparent layer of wind.

After a quick glance around the room, they saw the prince sitting near the table. His clothes were covered in blood, and he stared blankly in front of him. The war immediately appeared next to the child and one of them with a thinner build, knelt down in front of Ernesam, touching him with his hand, let a small amount of rashu.

After checking that the prince was not injured, but only severely exhausted, the warrior breathed a sigh of relief to himself. After that, a worried female voice was heard from under the helmet.

- Are you all right, sir?
