Chapter 1598 Kate's Status
1598 Kate's Status
-----
The next morning arrived rather nicely, after having hunted a lot of creatures last night, my inventory was full of Soul Beast materials. However, this wasn't enough, if I wanted something truly powerful, I think I needed even more. Today we were going to visit the Dark Dragon Realm with my family to seek materials from there now. However, as I woke up today, I had another thing in mind.
I was still thinking about the incapability of using Soul Gear by those that weren't Titans. And how unfair it seemed to be in the long term. It made me wonder what made the soul specifically capable of wearing Soul Gear that others soul couldn't? Maybe the creation aspect can be scratched away, but there should be a way for other souls to be able to equip it!
So, while my family was sleeping soundly, I moved to my Alchemy Workshop and started to experiment, using the souls of divine monsters as test subjects. The first test was one without any changes. When I tried to force them to wear it, the Soul Gear simply rejected their souls and hurt them if I tried doing this too much.
"Hmm, alright, so simply trying to equip it won't work, I was guessing that already."
I then tried something else, imbuing the souls with Azure Ice Essence. It was what made my titan soul special after all, right? So I tried making the soul like I wanted it to be. Although there was less resistance than before, and the soul almost managed to equip the Soul Gear, there was another rejection again, though with less backlash than before.
"Almost there… What else can I do then? Azure Ice Essence is essential but… Something else is needed. Maybe the shape of the soul itself?"
Remembering the trial, my very soul was shaped like the soul of a Titan. Could the shape also hold the power of Soul Gear? The almighty shape of a Titan, bulky, humanoid, tall, gigantic, almighty. "Perhaps if I take some of my Soul Ether like this and…"
After having used Mimicry on that Fox Divine Soul Beast King, I was able to easily copy its own Soul Ether Wielding Arts. Using that technique on my own soul, I weaved Soul Ether from my own soul and imbued it into my test subject.
Slowly, it took the shape of a slightly humanoid half-beast soul. And then, when it was full of Azure Ice Essence, the Soul Gear…
"It works?!"
It was able to equip it, without any issues!
"Well, that wasn't as hard as I imagined… Ah!"
However, before I could calm down, the soul suddenly gave a loud agonizing scream, shattering into pieces. The Soul Gear exerted such a powerful pressure on it that even with all the transformations it underwent, its weak power was unable to hold it.
"It was a rather weak soul; I suppose they'll need to increase their Soul Ether Stat a bit before anything else." I sighed. "System, how much Soul Ether do you think is necessary so… that doesn't happen to a soul?"
"After a lot of calculations, I've deciphered that A+ Rank at Minimum. It won't be easy, but Kate's soul is developing rapidly. Do you want to see her Status?"
"Oh? Sure."

"Also, I had no idea she had an Affinity with Thunder! Where did that come from?" I wondered.

"Hmm, I see! She has less Soul Ether than I imagined. We'll have to feed her a lot of Divine Soul Beast meat then! That increases Soul density a lot, isn't it?" I asked.
"Indeed!" Nodded System. "Also, I had no idea she had an Affinity with Thunder! Where did that come from?" I wondered.
"It must be a derivation of Technomancy, after all controlling mechanical parts and fueling them with energy requires to naturally conjure electromagnetic forces." Said System. "She can conjure such power through those abilities, but not alone yet."
"Interesting… it might become an amazing trump card, I haven't heard of the existence of Thunder Dragons, I think Wind Dragons come into that category as well." I said. "We might have to ask Emerald to help her with that, I've seen him using thunder magic. Oh, also Charlotte too."
"Well, for now, I think you've got this, Drake. We must help Kate get to A+ Rank on her Soul Ether and then somehow make an item that could imbue her soul with some sort of imprint of a Titan's Soul, and also Azure Ice Essence." System said.
"I know, it shouldn't be too hard, let's do that for now." I smiled.
I spent the next couple of hours working tirelessly. I tried a few things, some failed, others barely worked. I continued using my Alchemy and Blacksmithing Skills to their maximum efficiency. Until finally, I made something.
A blue colored pearl, made of the crystallization of thousands of units of Azure Ice Essence, imbued with Titan Soul Ether. I named it the Azure Pearl, it was an SSS Rank Item I created using a lot of very powerful materials, some including even the materials from Soul Beasts, but without making it a Soul Gear in the process.
"This might do it…"
I imbued it into a silver-colored ring, and it was finally done! I felt exhausted though, my soul lost some of its energy and essence after making all of that, so I quickly ate some more Divine Monsters Souls to recover it quickly.
"Let's go."
