Psychic Parasite

Chapter 151: Brain Crystal Fusion

The consciousness of a human and the consciousness of a Wisdom Parasite were linked, giving each other two different points of view. Jyorta's base perspective was omniscient, capable of observing the brain in its entirety, with the focal point being the Brain Crystal. Through his shared senses, he was also able to take in the first-person perspective, one experienced by the Wisdom Parasite.

The white fragments converging upon the Brain Crystal were the individual parts of the Wisdom Parasite's body.

The Wisdom Parasites were created to possess two traits, the Trait of Dissociation and the Trait of Convergence.

It was due to these two traits that the Wisdom Parasite remained alive through Phase 3 and Phase 4Parasite Absorption and Parasite Assimilationof the Induction Ceremony, despite its body getting dissolved in the host body.

A similar phenomenon occurred now, with the body of the Wisdom Parasite fused into his brain extricating themselves as white particles, heading towards the Brain Crystal. They were then compressed by the psychic energy pulses and attached to the Brain Crystal, applying pressure on it.

The Brain Crystal emitted a suction force, attracting only the white fragments, applying pressure on itself as a result of the collision. The Brain Crystal began to swell in size, constricting the surrounding tissues, causing many internal injuries.

The Wisdom Parasite exerted its will, controlling a part of its bodyin the form of the white fragmentsto form an external layer, forming a barrier to dissipate the damage. It also retained a trace amount of parts in the brain, retaining the brain's ability to function in the presence of the Brain Crystal.

If not for them, the Brain Crystal was akin to a tumour that would have killed Jyorta by now. Except for the fraction retained in the brain for the safety of the host, the remaining white fragments arrived before the Brain Crystal.

It was time for Jyorta to act now, having comprehended the process through Atika Light's memory bestowment. He exerted his will, possible only during the breakthrough process. It was like he had grown a pair of arms, one that could affect physical matter through mental actuation.

In response to his will, the brain tissues surrounding the Brain Crystal began to pulse, constricting the Brain Crystal, applying pressure on it, seeking to compress it. The Brain Crystal, sporting a tough molecular structure showed zero signs of getting compressed.

The arrival of each white fragment required copious amounts of psychic energy to be compressed and attached to the Brain crystal. Now, the Brain Crystal turned unstable, due to a lack of psychic energy, allowing its volume to increase without restraint, unable to be compressed.

In unison, the two consciousnessesbelonging to a human and the Wisdom Parasiteactuated a process, allowing the Brain Crystal to shine with a resplendent hue, enacting a command on the body.

Immediately, the energy stored in the bodyin the form of carbohydrates, protein, fatwas consumed, the flesh burned to initiate the necessary chemical reaction. It was then steadily converted into psychic energy, allowed to course into the Brain Crystal through the connected blood vessels.

Despite the consumption of the flesh to impend the psychic energy, Jyorta's body didn't show any signs of thinning up. It was in fact slightly gaining mass, thanks to the stream of pale blue light coursing through his body, actuated by a Transformer using a Tier 3 Relic.

The quality and quantity of energy present in the pale blue light outclassed Jyorta's requirements, soon supplementing the needs of his Brain Crystal. Thanks to the abundant psychic energy, the Brain Crystal attracted the white fragments with greater intensities.

The two consciousnesses controlled the process, watching the fusion with trepidation. A batch of white fragments touched the Brain Crystal, wrapped around by psychic energy, turned into refined objects due to a lack of resistance.

They were then pressured from all sides, raising their densities, reducing the volume they occupied. More and more white fragments were attracted, enacted by the same process; the quantity compressed soon initiating a qualitative change.

The psychic energy acted as both the adhesive and the force that interlinked the white fragments on the atomic level. It weaved the fusing white fragments over the Brain Crystal, forming disjoint clusters all over its surface, creating connections with the related spots on the Brain Crystal.

Jyorta and the Wisdom Parasite worked in sync, their thoughts falling onto the same track, actuated by the mystical process that occurred at the start of the breakthrough.

A section of the Brain Crystal shone with white light, emitting a spike in psychic energy before bursting into pieces, dispersing condensed white fragments. The fragments collided into the surrounding brain tissuethe one the Wisdom Parasite had erected as a barrierand damaged it, burrowing into the cellular structures.

Due to the disharmonious balance between the psychic energy, the white fragment cluster, and the connected Brain Crystal, it led to a failure in the fusion process, creating a minor explosion, the scale smaller than a blood vessel.

In another area, the while light condensed, forming a tiny sphere, resulting from a successful fusion. It burrowed into the Brain Crystal, like a knife cutting into butter, arriving at its centre, taking charge.

Similarly, the successfully fused parts burrowed into the Brain Crystal while the failed parts exploded, damaging the brain tissues. The white fragment cluster that failed the fusion process turned black, becoming solid, losing its gelatinous properties.

The presence of the Wisdom Parasite in it had died, now no different from a hardened substance, a dead cell cluster. It meant a permanent loss in the Wisdom Parasite's body, which meant a drop in Sync Rate.

The pulsing of the Brain Crystal, the brain tissues, and the thumping of the heart; they synchronised with one another, with the heart speeding up beyond acceptable bodily limits, putting a strain on the cardiac muscles.

If the process spanned any longer, it would result in his death. Espers possessed a weak body, no different from a normal human, despite the Tier. Even the body of Psychic Ancestor Marble was no different from a regular human.

So, the breakthrough process had to be completed swiftly, consuming the least time possible while executing maximum efficiency in the fusion process, minimising the losses, and preventing the Sync Rate from dropping below 50 percent.

The breakthrough process for Warriors and Espers were different, despite the principal concept being the samefusing the white fragments into the Heart/Brain Crystal. Warriors experienced limits in consciousness while Espers experienced bodily limits.

Based on his experience as the blue soul, having actuated and controlled many factors through the soul tendrils, Jyorta could affect the fusion process better, directing his consciousness in multiple places at the same time.

The swollen Brain Crystal began to shrink in size, with the older parts replaced by the new, fused parts. Time passed in such a manner, the influx in psychic energy giving Jyorta some leeway to minimise his losses.

Standing beside him, Atika Light watched in silence, sporting a poker face, seeping the condensed pale blue light into his body. Having activated her Tier 4 and Tier 5 Skill, she kept control of the situation.

Finally, she sensed the breakthrough process approach a preliminary completion, morphing her expression into one of solemnity. She emitted blinding light, creating a massive dome that wrapped the entirety of the headquarters of Grapple Force within it.

The light was transparent, lacking a presence, unable to be sensed by even Sky Controllers, not to mention fellow Transformers. The dome didn't affect the surroundings, its presence lacking the physicality to contend with the environment.

It actuated a mystical change, the efficiency low, weak to the extent that even Atika Light wasn't assured.

"The domain of the mind is as mysterious as the soul. Moreover, unlike the domain of the soul, there hasn't been a precedent of an expert comprehending it." Atika Light sighed, showcasing a solemn expression.

"This is a major obstacle in the breakthrough process, one that destroyed countless geniuses at higher Tiers, the reason it is so difficult to produce Tier 6 these days." She controlled her tone, the volume of her voice akin to a whisper, inaudible to even her ears.

In the head of Jyorta, the Brain Crystal had turned into a patchwork, showcasing innumerous fused clusters, lacking any binding substance. The first fused cluster, one that had taken the centremost position emitted a gentle flux, attracting the subsequent clusters.

Soon, the effect traversed over the entirety of the clusters that made up the Brain Crystal, creating a phenomenon that began to absorb energy from the body, directly converting it into psychic energy.

Thanks to the two streamsone from the soul tendrils, and the other from the muscle mass regenerated through Atika Light's actionsof psychic energy entering his Brain Crystal, the phenomenon could initiate without trouble.

The psychic energy turned into miniature strands, beyond the control of the two consciousnesses as they interlinked each fused cluster, connecting them all. A flash of psychic energy erupted forth, washing over the Brain Crystal, attaching all the fused clusters into a whole.

There were still signs of their individuality, forcefully held together by the miniature strands seeping into them, coursing through the pores in them, forming circuits. The psychic energy began to flow, seeking to fuse the parts into a whole, the process alarmingly slow, facing major hurdles due to the lingering hard clusters, black in colour.

The single pattern on the Brain Crystal had long since disappeared, the pink surface now lacking any patterns.

The Brain Crystal hummed once, shrouded by a white glow, forming links with the entirety of Jyorta's body, the strain turning it unstable, the effect apparent on the edges. The surface turned soft, beginning to disintegrate at a very slow pace, but one that was definite. As time passes in such a manner, it would continue to disintegrate until nothing of it remained.

This concluded the first part of the breakthroughBrain Crystal Formation!

Immediately, the two consciousnesses severed their connection, brimming with killing intent. It was time to decide the ultimate victor, one that would take charge as the host.
