Learning through Assimilation

Since Killian is not locked away within his own memory, I can speak to him freely when I am inside his mindscape. And I decide to speak to him directly because I am seeking to consume all of his memories and experiences.

This is only possible when I am possessing someone who is still alive. And being able to consume all of his memories and experiences certainly beats hitting the books. Save me a lot of time too, but even if I am successful, I still need to pay a visit to the Library and hit the books.

While there are some concerns in consuming memories and experiences of others, I highly doubt that his memories and experiences can overshadow mine, especially when the difference between our age is so incredibly vast.

My mindscape is also built like a fucking impenetrable fortress, preventing anyone or anything or more from messing with my mind. But of course, the best defense is prevention.

And that is the same reason to why Alex doesn't allow me or anyone to enter his mindscape regardless of the reason. I am the same in that regards, and if someone try to break into my mind, I can trap them within my mindscape for a very, very long time if not indefinitely, as I am God within my mindscape.

Likewise, Killian is a God within his own mindscape if only he knows how to wield his mind like me.

"Are you a God?" Killian asks weakly, and his consciousness is as sickly as his actual body, which means that his illness is not natural, at least from my understandings. But then again, there are things in this world that are completely alien to me.

"Yes," I answer simply. "I can grant you your wish if you let it go."

Killian does not quite understand, but under my influence, he slowly closes his eyes and enters a deep slumber, and as he does so, I obtain the complete control of his mindscape.

Within the next moment, I know everything that Killian had ever known, and I also experience all that he had experienced. His hopes and dreams and fears are all part of me, and the only thing that remains separated is his consciousness.

I seal that away and slowly open my eyes, looking directly at the ceiling of my cold and lonely room. It has always been so, considering that no one ever enter my room asides from the servants, and that is quite sad.

There is a great urge to cough and gasp for air due to the extensive damages done to my body due to my illness, and if I do not do anything soon, I will die a mortal death.

It would be a shame when I just acquired this living avatar.

As such, I summon Magneto along with dozens of Mana Crystals to power it, as I do not have any mana within myself. I do, but it is unusable as I have not forged it into a Mana Core or form a Mana Sea.

I am unsure which is better for Minasian, so I will just go with Mana Sea for now.

The spheres made of refine Mithril float around me, and with a thought, they cast a healing spell. Even if Magneto cannot cure me from whatever afflicting me, it can reverse the damage done to my body.

And I quickly notice I can breathe normally. Soon, I feel strong enough to pull myself upwards and into a meditated position. It is time to gather my mana and form my Mana Sea.
