"Did you succeed?" Kylia asked.
"Yup, my body completely disintegrated into atomic fragments. However, it seems that STU-1 can only construct 25% of all the cells in my body. I still have to construct the remaining 75% and reassemble my body," Del replied.
"How much time do you have?" Kylia asked with a deeply concerned expression.
"Not much," Del said, gazing at his fading soul.
Fortunately, he had hidden his consciousness in the Root Link. Otherwise, Del would have already felt the strong pull of the afterlife. A strong soul could resist this pull for a while, but not indefinitely. He had to form a new body and enter it before the pull grew strong enough to tear his soul apart.
"Is there anything I can do to help?" Kylia asked, her face filled with worry.
