Chapter 1283 What Is The Great Mother.
The white motes contain information that he was in desperate need of so he spread out his divine sense with soul force to grab them and assimilate them. Some of them had already been destroyed with that short delay. The grey water is adamant about destroying everything. He now knows why the grey water is like that after absorbing the memories.
There were some difficulties in absorbing the memories but it is mostly good news. The white motes are pieces of information. They are not complete or orderly. He has to put them together to gain relevant information in a sequence. Unfortunately, some information were missing so what he got was not complete.
"I probably have less than 10% of the knowledge contained within the soul fragment. But that is already good enough."
He succeeded in assimilating the white motes at a rather high completion rate so he was able to preserve a lot of information. He would have gotten less than 1% if he didn't have soul force to compete with the grey water around him.
Now he knows what situation he has gotten himself in. He also knows what was happening to him when the bad effect of the white motes took effect.
He began hearing voices in his mind. "The great mother is kind. The great mother is pure. The great mother is good. The great mother is divine. The great mother is merciful. Join us. Become one with us. Become eternal within the great mother. The great mother..."
The sermon of the soul fragment appeared in an unending flow within his mind. What he consumed is the spiritual remnants of the soul fragments. It contains its memories and its beliefs. He has assimilated them so he can't get rid of them. They have become part of him too.
Its presence filled him with confidence about surviving in this grey world known as the spiritual dimension of the void universe. But he was still not confident about facing the great mother so he continued to run away immediately.
He used some of the knowledge that he acquired from the soul fragment to utilize soul force. Soul force extended out of him in fine long threads instead of in a single direction like he used to do. The fine threads were then rotated around him to propel himself. He shot forward and continued to accelerate. It is as if he could accelerate forever as long as he didn't stop. And he could change directions easily by twirling the filaments.
"This is great." He said in appreciation. "This skilled usage of the soul is exquisite. But it is also why I must not meet the great mother."
This movement technique is very good. It is a product of years of research by a spiritual entity about the use of spiritual energy and the soul. The great mother and every soul she has assimilated within her came up with it.
The soul fragment was right in that they can achieve greatness together. After all, two good heads are better than one. Even if they are half bad, a million of them have a good chance of achieving greatness.
So in a way, the great mother is a conglomerate of billions of souls. They are working together for survival in this hostile dimension that one might call hell. Their chances of survival has increased and they have even achieved some sort of immortality but it came at a great cost. All of them have lost their freedom.
One might say they have been enslaved but it is more than that. They have been brainwashed so bad that they think they are the great mother. This has made it so that they don't resist or try to escape. They won't escape even if they are liberated. After all, they are all the great mother. That's what the soul fragment was offering him. Eternal and blind servitude to the great mother and as the great mother.
