Earth's Alpha Prime Chapter 26

[Merging with [Personal Soul A.I] requires splitting a minor portion of your soul to create a personalised soul A.I and once that happens, you will not be able to use any of the Tamer type Skills.]

[Upon merging, the personalized Soul A.I will follow you for a lifetime. Do you wish to merge with [Personal Soul A.I]?]

I didn't worry much about it when I found that once I merge with the [Personal Soul A.I], I wouldn't be able to use Taming type Skills but what bugged me was the part about splitting a minor portion of my soul.

I pondered over and weighed the pros and cons by thinking about the [Harmony] and [Centauri Kavach] that I received by causing Universe level Achievements, and each time, I was rewarded according to what I needed the most in that exact situation.

In the first case, I received the Rare Grade Skill, [Harmony], because when I entered [INVERSE] mode, I wasn't able to adjust to the sudden Stat increase in the Attributes of my [LOOTED STATUS] and [Harmony] complimented my weakness then.

If not for [Harmony] I would have been in trouble during my clash with Dire Wind Wolf.

Secondly, I received the Growth type armour, [Centauri Kavach], because I lacked in defence and once again it complimented my weakness then.

Moreover, [Centauri Kavach] has incredible potential as it can be increased to higher grades, and that shows the usefulness of the rewards that were obtained from causing Universe level Achievements.

Since I already experienced a hellish amount of pain while undergoing [INVERSE], I didn't think much about the pain I had to experience during the process of merging with [Personal Soul A.I].

With that, I accepted it, and that was when I knew how wrong I was to look down on the pain from splitting a minor portion of my soul.

The pain I began to experience was not physical, but a mental one and the sensation I felt resembled a headache except its scale was countless times higher.

I fell onto my knees as I clutched my head from the soaring pain. With my Endurance Attribute in [LOOTED STATUS] having 62 Stats, my body weighed near half a ton and a few cracks formed on the floor as my knees smashed into the floor with a heavy thud.

Low growls started to escape my mouth, and the mental pain continued to soar, and meanwhile, notifications regarding a new type of Resistance kept on appearing.

[Lv.1[Mental Pain Resistance] (Common) obtained.]

[Lv.1[Mental Pain Resistance]: Resistance towards Mental pain increases by 1%.]

[Lv.1[Mental Pain Resistance] ➝ Lv.2[Mental Pain Resistance]]

[Lv.15[Mental Pain Resistance] ➝ Lv.16[Mental Pain Resistance]]

[Lv.16[Mental Pain Resistance]: Resistance towards Mental pain increases by 16%.]

Once the [Mental Pain Resistance] reached Lv.16, the pain reached a saturation point where it stopped increasing and slowly faded away.

From the process of splitting a minor portion from my soul, my complexion turned a little pale, and while breathing in ragged gasps, I got up from the kneeling position.

Even with all the mental pain I experienced, the [Mental Pain Resistance] only reached Lv.16, and that made me wonder about just how high the physical pain did I experience for me to reach Lv.50 in [Physical Pain Resistance].

As I was thinking about that, all the light in the room started to converge into a yellowish ball of light in front of me and just in a short second; it reached the size of a basketball.

Its size stopped growing anymore, and it burst with a bright flash and light in the room returned to normal.

But in the place of a yellowish ball of light, a 1-year-old chubby baby was floating in the air, and the chubby baby slowly opened its eyes, and when it saw me, its eyes opened wide with happiness and shouted in glee, "Master!!!".

After looking at the floating cheerful baby, I was a bit taken back, not by the sudden baby's appearance from the blob of light but because of how identical the baby was to me when I was 1 year old.

Back when I was a year old, I was chubbier than most of the babies and overly cheerful as well.

Whenever my family and I go through our family photo album, my younger sister, Qew used to burst out into laughter whenever the photo of me as a 1-year-old chubby baby comes up, and she used to show that to me whenever she was about to lose an argument with me.

So, I remember the appearance of my 1-year-old self clear as a day, and I understood that it was my personalised Soul A.I.

I looked at the baby, and before I could ask anything, the baby understood my intentions and started to give a self-introduction.

"Master, I am your Personalised Soul A.I. I was created by the System using a part of your soul. That is why my appearance looks like Master's younger self."

"With me being a part of Master's soul, my emotional state and attitude also resemble Master's younger self."

My personalised Soul A.I introduced itself while cheering and jumping around me in the air.

If I weren't in the state of harmony, I would have facepalmed myself after looking at my 1-year-old look-alike.

My personalised Soul A.I continued to blabber in his baby voice, "As an Epic Grade Personalised Soul A.I, I have access to Tier-4 System Information, and at this point in [Trial Program], information is the most useful aspect."

"Master, prepare yourself, there are 3 seconds left before the duration of [INVERSE] mode ends."

With my personalised soul A.I giving a beforehand notice, I was mentally prepared for the sudden decrease of stats.

Once the duration ended, I was assaulted by a wave of weakness and exhaustion as steam started to pour out of my body with whistling sounds, similar to when I first entered [INVERSE] mode in Trial World.

My silver-coloured eyes and hair returned to their original black colour and my [LOOTED STATUS] tab appeared in front of me. The word 'Primary' reverted to 'Secondary'.

With a mental command, the [LOOTED STATUS] tab flipped as the [STATUS] tab appeared with it becoming my 'Primary' tab along with a few notifications.
