Chapter 702 Congregation of the Divine Senses! Part 8.5

"I might not know the truth about the Divine Sensory Organs, but I have a feeling that as long as I kill another Divine Sensory Organ user, I can take their Divine Sensory Organ for myself!"
"How I should do this process is vague to me, but as long as I follow my instincts, everything will work out…"
When Alina first saw Beatrice earlier, she felt the desire to obtain the latter's Omniscient Skin, as if it was the natural thing for her to do. This desire was the reason why Alina exerted a little more effort on her fight today, something that made her feel both disappointed and satisfied.
Well, Alina is swaying more on the satisfied side today, as she's about to take her desired organ for herself.
"So how I should do this? Hm…. Should I just hold the skin and then 'absorb' it? Sounds pretty vague to me…."
___________
ALina might be inexperienced in terms of the Divine Sensory Organs, but this doesn't mean that she had no substantial knowledge about them.
After all, Alina had already met 3 other Divine Sensory Organ Holders prior to this day, so even she has an idea on what these organs could be.
"In actuality, the Divine Sensory Organs are just normal sensory organs. What makes them special is the 'essence' that resides inside them." Alina thought to herself as she gave Beatrice's corpse one more inquisitive look.
Alina then adjusted her hold on the corpse, with the corpse's skin now displayed like a bare chicken.
"In my case, my eyes should have been just normal eyes, but once my eyes had been inhabited by a special kind of 'essence', my eyes had transformed to become the All-Seeing Eyes…."
"That b***h Astria and Delia said before that they experienced the same thing too, with their nose and tongue respectively being transformed into Divine Sensory Organs through some kind of 'essence'…
Alina's additional words turned into murmurs as her face wore a serious look, with her eyes never going off from the corpse in her hands. She seemed to be highly invested on the body that she held, and her next actions had just confirmed it.
"So in short, it is the essence inside the Divine Sensory Organs that make these organs special. It is the essence that gives the organs their special abilities, and without it, the Divine Sensory Organs will just be a normal organ…"
"This might seem like a normal consequence, but trust me, it is not. Because the presence of this 'essence' inside the Divine Sensory Organs changes everything!"
"If there is 'essence' inside a Divine Sensory Organ, then there is a possibly that someone can take that 'essence' for themselves. Of course I do not know if that is possible, but I FEEL that it is possible!
"After all, my body is telling me today that I can do it here against Beatrice! It seems like I can take the essence of her Omniscient Skin and infuse it to my own skin!"
After exclaiming these words, the excited Alina seemed to be unable to stop herself anymore. She continued to treat the corpse on her hands with more care, creating a creepy scence that forced t her allies to back away.
"Let's see if this 'essence' theory does work. If it is, then I will be leagues stronger compared to how I was before…"
Alina appeared to be a hungry lion this time, someone who seemed to not hesitate to cut down anyone who tries to interrupt her 'meal'. She even looked close to assaulting her allies if they try to disturb her.
This kind of ferocious look had effectively warped ALina's face, to the point that she did not seem like her normal self anymore.
The current Alina seemed to be filled with greed, the type that nobody has a way to quench….
"Hehehe, having two Divine Sensory Organs will surely give me a lot of special abilities, and maybe I can develop a new killing technique from it! Hehehe, the combination of my eyes' penetrative observation and the Omniscient Skin's powerful defense should provide me with a useful ability!"
"But what if this does not work? What if this 'essence' fades away once a Divine Sensory Organ holder dies? And what if I don't have the power right now to even absorb this 'essence…"
"Wait, why am I even worrying? Of course this will work! Since your body says so, then you can do it! The problem that I just have right now is time!"
________________
With her opponents already dead, Alina has no worries about anyone attacking her for now. This allowed her to make a move against Beatrice's corpse, with her hands now clinging to the dead body without any reservation.
"…."
Ignoring the blood that still spurted from the bisected head, Alina just nonchalantly ran her hands over Beatrice's corpse, with the former doing whatever she can in order to obtain the 'essence' that she had been talking about since earlier.
"'Absorb', 'absorb', 'absorb'. Hmm.. why is it not working? 'Absorb, 'absorb', 'absorb'…. 'Absor- yes, there it is!"
Alina's first few tries with her attempted 'absorption' did not work, but to her delight, something different had happened a few seconds after she started.
"Hom!"
Out of nowhere, the sensitive Alina suddenly felt a suction force coming from her own hand, one that was powerful enough to suck almost anything on its vicinity. She could feel that any nearby object will surely be absorbed by this force, and that only a black hole can outperform it.
With such kind of power, this suction force should have introduced distortion on the area around it. But instead of that happening, the suction force seemed to have not affected anything at all.
It just continued to suck and suck without any effect, making it look like an ineffectual failure.
This made Alina irritated on what she saw, to the point that she had thoughts of removing her hand from the corpse already.
But before she could do that, the suction force eventually showed its effect, which is enough to calm down the agitated Alina.
"Hula~"
From within the skin of Beatrice's corpse, an ethereal, energy-like substance was slowly being dragged out, presumably caused by the effects of the suction force.
This substance seems to have no material or form at all, but under the power of the suction force and Alina's observation, it has turned into a small clump that inched closer and closer to Alina's hands.
"Glug glug glug."
This ethereal substance felt both foreign and natural to Alina, who was now laughing as she strengthened the suction force from her hands.
"Hahaha! Yes, this is what I am looking for! Now come to me and assimilate with my skin! Your owner is already dead, so you have no more use for her! Just stay with me, and I promise you, we will achieve a lot of things together!"
There is no way that she cannot laugh right now, as she knew that this substance was the one that she was looking for.
"So this is the essence of the Omniscient Skin… Will I have any problems fusing with it? Well, there's only one way to find that out…"
Now that she had seen the evidence of the 'essence' that exists in the Omniscient Skin, Alina's next move was no-brainer for her. Since she seen the essence already, her next move was to of course absorb it.
"Hah!" And she absorbed the essence without any hesitation, with her skin greedily sucking the ethereal substance before it could dissipate to the surroundings.
