Chapter 77: Weird Kid (Rewritten)
"Um... Hello, Mr. Sunny."
Sunny’s eye twitched at the unusual sight before him. A child who happened to be a Transcendent was crawling around in the corpse of an Ascended Fragmentum monster. He found it ridiculous.
Transcendents — also known as Saints — were the pinnacle of power in the modern day. Unlike Awakened — who’s souls gained the capacity to control Soul Essence — and Ascended — who’s bodies have merged with their souls — the soul of a Transcendent had a mass that couldn’t be contained by their bodies. As such, their souls had a connection to the very world itself, granting them an Aspect Ability that allowed them to transform into something that better accommodated their newfound strength.
As beings who transcended the limits of humanity, they were often compared to demigods. Some were able to slice a mountain in two by complete accident, while others could unleash devestating attacks that could destroy planets.
Not that it was easy for them to do so. Not only would their Aspect need to be oriented for mass destruction, but they would need to expend practically all their Essence to accomplish such a feat. Either way, they were realms above Sunny’s level of strength.
Clara just happened to have that strength.
He wondered what her Transformation Ability would be? Assuming that she was the one who had given the automatons their strength, then maybe it had to do with robots. Some Transformation Abilities weren’t a simple change in physical form, and were more complex in nature. The possibilities were practically endless, so it would be difficult to figure out what Clara’s was.
Sunny looked down at his slightly burnt hands before smiling at Clara.
"Hey. Could you get out of there? I think there’s quite a bit to talk about."
She meekly nodded, crouching down as she picked up the Ascended Soul Shards. She crawled out of the carcass, unperturbed by the heat of the previously burning specter.
Before he could say anything, Clara blurted out:
