11 Chapter 11- Acedia (2/2)

”HAHA, believe me, Jack will become a God. We are an existence that can predict the future, instead of rebelling against our creator why don't we help him?” His voice started to get stronger.

”But right now, his power was so weak that we need to wait until he releases us. If not for our fear that his body will collapse due to our power dominating this world is not difficult at all.” Jack lazy face turned excited as he said. ” I am called Acedia, one of his servant, we seven swear that we will serve the ruler of the universe!”

Acedia turns his head and looks Marie. ”Protect him, don't let him die. His power is still insufficient, the power that this world hold is many if he encountered a dangerous situation, one of us will come out to protect him. But we don't wish that to happen as it involves a lot of risks.”

”Protect him.” After saying that, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

”Arg.” Jack opened his eyes and saw his aunt looking dumbfoundedly at him. ”Big sis, what happened?”

'How come I was here, didn't I lose my consciousness inside the cave?' Looking at the familiar living room, Jack felt that something was wrong, so he activated his status window and found out that he stepped to the First Stage of Body Tempering;

He thought that he failed his breakthrough as the psychic power stored within his body is insufficient. Feeling the strength circulating within his body, Jack was eager to test this newfound power.

'I don't know, what happens when I lose consciousness, so I have to ask Big sis about it.' he thought.

Looking at his brown eyes, Marie knew that her nephew came back, but her thought was still on Acedia. 'That personality of Jack didn't develop an eighth-grade syndrome, right?'

'And furthermore, he said seven, so there are more six personalities in his body?' Her thought was in disarray, as she grabs her hair in frustration.

'What the hell happened to Jack, did his school mistreat him?' Marie cried as she thought of Jack pain.

Oblivious to her thoughts, Jack stared strangely at her aunt and thought. 'Is she under menstruation?'

Jack controlled his psychic field around his body, so he was naturally ignorant about her thought.

If Marie knew his thought 'Menstruation your dad, I am worried about you, but you didn't even appreciate it!'

Marie hugged Jack who was staring weirdly at her. ”Aunt promise that she will never leave you.”

She didn't say her Jack multiple personalities in fear, that Jack will disappear and replaced by that psycho.

Jack didn't understand her at first, but when she made contact in his psychic field, his emotionless face turned pale. 'Acedia, one of the deadly sins!'

'How did he take over my body!?' Jack didn't know that when he exhausted his psychic force, his soul was affected and entered a dormant mode. His body turned into the empty shell without a soul, so to protect him from harm, Acedia, one of the seven souls decided to take over his body.

The seven souls reach the agreement to send Acedia as he was the weakest among them. If any of the other six take over, the probability of destroying his body is quite high as they possessed much more understanding of the Dao.

Dao is a comprehension of the universe, so absorbing the dao with a weak body will lead to destruction. Jack was not aware of the seven souls are his subordinate, so he treated them as an enemy that will influence him.

When he thought, that those seven can freely control his body, a shudder run through his body. Marie felt Jack was acting strange, so she looks at him notice that his face was pale. Suddenly, a thought struck her, if that psycho can read her mind then.

”Jack, can you read other's mind as well?” Her aunt seriously asked.

He trembled slightly.”No.”

Marie sigh in relief, she didn't want to feel transparent to her nephew as she will no longer hide anything from him.
