Chapter 972: Alter Ego’s weaponization
Cain felt the power of the Alter-Ego, the gargantuan beast the size of a city capable of setting the sky ablaze. The massive serpentine creature could fight on its own, and its power would be nothing short of extraordinary, matching half of the strength he could unleash with his body and Laws.
Of course, it took nearly every iota of Ego Wave to materialize such a gargantuan creature in the real world. The most practical use of the Alter-Ego's power would be to keep it inside the Soul Dimension, the realm within Cain's brain, where it would increase his mental and spiritual defenses even more.
When inside the Soul Dimension, the Alter-Ego's power could run through Cain's body and energy. It was better to have an extremely powerful entity than two average ones.
Cain stared at the Alter-Ego with a smile. It carried a sense of immense purity and warmth that could help people rise and grow stronger.
The five-thousand-meter-tall serpentine creature carried the sun's warmth, its power capable of healing the soul and mind of those who bask in its might. That perfectly represented the most basic state of Cain's personality and ego.
However, that majestic warmth and sense of empathy would not last for long. A cold and sharp light appeared in Cain's eyes as he adopted a meditative position in the sky.
According to the Codex of Infinite Pathways, the Fourth Realm of the Ego Eternal Path of Power was known as Mind Over Soul. This stage represented the ultimate mastery of the soul, integrating it seamlessly with the mind, body, and energy.
It was extremely important as it would not only allow your willpower to fuse into your soul force, increasing the strength of your Inner World and Rebirth Heart. If that was not enough, it would also improve your cultivation speed as it would enhance the development of the Sacred Organs.
The key to advancing past the Third Realm of the Ego Eternal Path of Power was through the weaponization of the Alter-Ego. You needed to evolve its power, channeling the power of the Concepts into the psychic energy that formed its flesh and blood.
Once you do that, your Alter-Ego will not be just a metaphysical manifestation of your ego and willpower but will evolve into what you seek to become.
This was a very important decision in the cultivation path of power. It would reveal what the powerhouse sought to achieve and what their journey through the first three Realms of the Ego Eternal Path of Power had taught them. They needed to be true to themselves and no longer rely on insight and instincts.
