Omega Summoner

Chapter 1108: Floating in the Subconscious

[Your body is being corroded by a strange miasma. Turn this power into your own or else your body will perish forever.]

Adrian could be seen observing his soul being destroyed from the inside as a black eerie flame is encroaching upon him.

Adrian is currently trapped in his subconscious as his body is currently being ravaged by the strange miasma eating away at his life. The only reason why he is not truly dead now is due to the fact that he is also a being of death. The Netheros cannot truly die as they are death themselves which is why the strange miasma cannot eat away at the remaining energy that Adrian has.

He might not be able to die from the effects of the strange miasma, but he is incredibly weakened by it. He cannot even wake up from this semi-conscious state as all his body is filled with this strange miasma. Just as he thought that dying would be the solution, he got a notification saying that death without cleansing out the strange miasma will not drive it away.

[The strange miasma has now started to bond with your body.]

[It cannot be removed even if you die from other sources.]

Adrian could not believe that this is happening to him right now. He has read strange reports of players being infected with some sort of virus or strange micro-organism that makes their characters wonky, but he did not expect that it would also happen to him.

Some of the threads that discussed this had most of the players deleting their characters but some managed to overcome this dilemma. The players are incredibly rewarded if they do manage to clear their bodies from this strange phenomenon get great skills in return.

One even got the extremely rare skill called Thousand Poison Immunity which is a mythical tier passive that negates any type of poison damage.

”The game will not give me something that will be impossible to clear.” Adrian thought to himself but he devs watching him are actually panicking as even they do not know how he would be able to clear himself of the strange miasma.

Adrian could see his inner subconscious area where there are three types of demons holding out their hands to create a podium. Two of the three statues are without features because he has only conquered one inner demon. The other statues will have features once he clears the conditions that his inner demons have given.

”I am already at an appropriate level, but I cannot get the last requirement which is master another energy.” Adrian muttered to himself as he watched his inner world be engulfed in the black flames that represent the strange miasma.

Adrian could almost clear the conditions to become an Archdemon, but his last hurdle is the most difficult for him. The last condition for him to become an Archdemon is to master another energy. Nether Energy is too domineering and powerful that it eats away any energy as even life energy is barely present in his body.

Adrian has so much time right in his hands as the only thing he could do is observe his inner world. He wanted to touch this strange miasma, but it actually hurt him when he did so. The feeling he got from touching the strange miasma is likened to touching fire as it hurt him, but it did not leave burn marks.

Inside Adrianʼs inner world, his time perception is actually six times compared to the three times that the game uses. This also means that he must not spend too much time inside his inner world, but he does not know that. Adrian is too focused on what to do with the strange miasma to even bother with the messages that the devs are sending him as warnings.

Adrian could see that the strange miasma has already devoured most of his inner world, but it could not touch the three statues. Adrian thought what he could do as he is the master of his inner world as he can do anything here which means he must have some sort of control over the strange miasma.

Adrian tried to think of extinguishing the strange miasma by thinking that it vanishes but that is not effective. He even tried to think that the strange miasma fizzling down but that is also an attempt that cannot be done. Since destroying or making the strange miasma is ineffective, Adrian thought of another way and that is to guide it.

Adrian might have thought that it is absurd that he could do so as his previous attempts have failed, but he has nothing to lose. He imagined the strange miasma like flowing water, and he is a water elemental controlling it in a fluid motion.

He thought that this attempt will fail but the strange miasma actually followed his will.  Adrian experimented a bit more to see if he really is the one influencing the strange miasma and he confirmed it. The strange miasma does indeed follow his will, but he cannot destroy it.

”If it now a part of my body then that would mean it is akin to something like blood to me. If I destroy it, then I will also lose a part of myself. It is scary to think that this strange miasma has completely bonded with my body.” Adrian thought as he is now left at an impasse.

He can now control the strange miasma, but he cannot make it leave his body. He thought that he might be able to do something like control it and keep it in one place but that is difficult. The strange miasma is not even showing signs that it could be pressurized or stored in one place.

Adrianʼs eyes roamed around as he does not know what to do next. He even played with the strange miasma while thinking of a way to harness it. Just as he is thinking of a way to deal with the strange miasma, a strange floating object could be seen inside his inner world. He did not notice this at first as he thought that it is an accessory, he thought of, but that thing is definitely familiar to him.

”Itʼs the Aether Reactor!” Adrian shouted as he flew towards the lamp looking thing in the middle of his inner world.

Adrian stared at the Aether Reactor that he created and even fainted doing so. He thought that he made a worthless item because it suddenly went inside of him instead of being an item he can store in his inventory. The Aether Reactor which is able to convert any type of energy into an energy that the user wants is present in his inner world.

------

Item Name: True Aether Reactor

Tier: Unknown

Type: Aether Reactor

Effect:

-Transform any energy into something called the Aether.

-Revert the Aether it converted to the previous energy.

Description: A True Aether Reactor that is said to be only made using forbidden knowledge and a miracle. It turns any energy into Aether which is a mysterious energy that is said to be the most potent life energy of creation.

-----

Adrian rejoiced as he could use this item to convert the strange miasma into this energy called Aether. The only problem would be is that it will be converted back to this strange miasma which he once again will not be able to use. Adrian thought long and hard on what to do but he did not think of another option for the strange miasma.

”What if I make the Nether Energy devour the strange miasma?” Adrian muttered to himself.

Adrian did not think that he can make the Nether Energy devour the strange miasma because his body is somewhat made of Nether Energy. He thought that the strange miasma has eaten the nether energy, but his current form has nether energy compressed in his Netheros Demon Core.

”Nether Energy is a potent energy that will devour any type of energy that it comes across. If this strange miasma is a weaker type of energy, then I might be able to make nether energy devour it. I just have to make sure that this does not backfire on me.” Adrian stated as he suddenly looked very determined.

Adrianʼs current form is that of his ʼnormalʼ demon form but not his true form. He immediately changed to his true form and the podium he is standing on immediately burst with nether energy. He must never let the podium get infected with the strange miasma because inside there is the Soul Chamber where all his soulbounds resides.

”Devour everything!” Adrian stated as if he is commanding the energy, he radiated to eat all the strange miasma.

The nether energy that looked like slow moving three colored mists started to touch the strange miasma. At first, the nether energy did not easily devour it, but it soon hungered. The nether energy actively devoured the strange miasma and turned it into nether energy.
