Reborn as an Extra

Chapter 866: Soul of an Anomaly. Part-5.

After absorbing Ahankar’s memories, Rio’s ability to control and use his soul and mind powers increased tremendously, and the speed of analysis picked up the pace.

But still, Rio was not satisfied.

"To think that analyzing my own soul would prove to be so challenging..."

If it were anyone else, Rio would have just forcefully invaded their consciousness and gouged out all of their secrets from the depths of their soul, even if it meant shattering their soul in the process.

But Rio could not do something so violent to his own soul, as that would be tantamount to committing su*cide!

’If only my soul was simpler to analyze and understand...’

While trying to analyze his own soul, Rio realized that this task was actually hundreds of times more difficult than even suturing a shattered soul!

Even when Rio had to reconstruct Ellie’s soul and create a new skill out of nothing, the difficulty level was still not as high as it was now!

"The main difficulty in analyzing my soul is not just its sheer strength and vastness, but the fact that it can constantly change and adapt!"

Usually, this nature of fast adaptation was a plus point for Rio, as it helped him in many ways, but now that he was trying to analyze the secrets behind all this, he only felt helpless and frustrated by this trait.

’It’s insane how quickly my soul adapts and strengthens itself... whatever analysis I had done in the past few days was completely fruitless, and all my efforts have gone down the drain!’

Flying through the dark skies of the demon continent under heavy snowfall, Rio felt a headache coming when he realized that his soul had become stronger again after he absorbed Ahankar’s memories and all the parameters had changed!

In other words, all the previous calculations were now useless data, and Rio had to start the soul analysis from scratch once again!

"And this isn’t even the most annoying part!"

What annoyed Rio the most was the fact that his soul behaved in an extremely irregular manner!

It could easily change its frequency and parameters in an instant and become completely different in essence on a whim!

For the first time Rio finally realized why every powerful individual gave weird reactions whenever they saw him.

Rio’s soul was like an ever-changing ’Anomaly’ that had no real shape or form; it could be anything and in any form at any moment of time!

It was so ’Bizarre’ and irregular that it could disorient the intuition and mind power of Rio himself, let alone others!

"No wonder whenever I meet those powerful SS rankers, they always end up asking the same question. ’What kind of bizarre creature are you?’... I used to think they were all referring to my presence..."

"But it turns out it was actually a matter of intuition and soul..."

In this magical world, many kinds of superpowers existed, and there were certainly many people who could change their physical looks and body shape at will.

Thus appearance alone was not the perfect method of identifying someone.

Many SS-rankers often used their intuition and mental power to sense the frequency of a person’s presence and soul to analyze the target’s identity.

If used on normal people, this technique was a perfect method with no chance of mistakes, as everyone’s soul frequency was unique!

Once an SS ranker memorized a person’s soul frequency, they would never mistake the other party’s identity!

But Rio was different!

Rio’s soul was bizarre and extremely weird! It changed shape, form, frequency, and even soul energy signature randomly as if it were some kind of unstable nuclear reactor going completely haywire!

From others’ perspective, Rio looked like a person whose soul was going absolutely bat-sh*t insane! And it felt like his soul was unstable and could go out of control at any moment!

’No wonder I was already so stealthy, and it was hard for people to notice my presence even back when I was still just a low-ranker and didn’t have much stealth skills!’

’It wasn’t just because I had an ordinary face and a weak presence. It was because my soul frequency was twisting and jumping all around like a crazed eel, causing others’ intuition to unconsciously not recognize me as a living being at all!’

For the first time, Rio realized the first bit of weirdness in himself that everyone else was unconsciously aware of but could not pinpoint.

’So this is ’The Soul of an Anomaly’.... It has no proper form or shape and can change at any moment.’

’No wonder the ’True Immunity’ skill that was much weaker in Fade’s hands became so much more powerful when I got it...’

’The already powerful abilities of this skill got boosted by my own ’Anomaly’ like existence and became several times stronger and more versatile...’

True immunity evolved into a higher level after coming into Rio’s possession and boosted the weirdness of his soul even further, causing his talent as an ’Anomaly’ to become even stronger!

’I wonder why I didn’t analyze my own soul in this much depth before... was I unconsciously avoiding it?’

Rio’s own mental power and soul energy were weaker before, and it was entirely possible that his own mind was unconsciously avoiding the topic of analyzing his own soul because it was protecting him.

If Rio had observed his soul when his mind was still weak, it was possible to cause some kind of an irreversible change in his mind.

’In simpler terms, from the very first day I got into this body... my soul has always been like this?’

’Is this somehow connected to the reason why I am losing emotions?’

Rio could already feel that he had made some kind of progress and was now starting to get a bit closer to the ultimate truth.

’I have a feeling... My soul has more insane secrets buried in it than I seem to realize...’

’Hehe... this is getting interesting now.’
