Chapter 2513 Fake Memories
Rean noticed something strange from that. "Wait! You said that they were different from the first time. Does that mean during the first time you feel one thing, and from the second onward, it is a different sensation?"
"Yes, master!" The Light Beast quickly nodded. "That's exactly how it feels. The second, third, fourth, whatever... they all had the same kind of feeling. Yet, the first time I killed the angels, the sensation was different. Their bodies were definitely different during the first times."
Rean began to create an idea in his mind. 'Sister Orb, what do you think?'
[Probably the same thing as you,] Sister Orb answered while hearing the conversation. [The first time the young angels are brought inside, they come with their real bodies... and those bodies truly die here unless they find their way out before that. That means...]
'That means the bodies that these angels acquire when they reappear outside aren't their original bodies, also...' Rean felt things were getting really weird.
[Yes,] Sister Orb continued. [Something tells me that the souls that appear outside aren't the real ones either. Instead, they are the copies...]
There was a reason Rean and Sister Orb thought about that. If the original souls had been sent outside and put inside a different body, the owners of those bodies most likely would have noticed something wrong. It would be okay is just one or two angels now and then felt like that, and no one would pay much attention.
However, if every single angel's Soul was put in a different body, then you would have a huge amount of young angels feeling something wrong. After all, the Light Beast said that their bodies weren't the same from the second time he killed them and onward.
That brings us to a single conclusion. Both the bodies and souls that are teleported outside are fake. They are created to match each other perfectly while keeping the original bodies' memories. Let's not forget that there is a thing called Soul and Body compatibility. Rean and Roan were even tested back in the Dalamu Sect. If the degree of compatibility between them is too low, several side effects could appear, especially the loss of talent.
Since the original bodies die in this Dimensional Realm, it would be a very bad idea to put those original souls inside new bodies. Instead, it was much better to make a copy of the Soul and body at the same time and send the copy out. That way, whoever was making the copies could guarantee the compatibility between souls and bodies.
'Of course, this is all just a conjecture based on this Light Beast's words. To be honest, I find it quite likely to be wrong. I mean, just how incredible must the system that makes the copies be? To make a body, Soul, and memories copy to send outside in the span of time they spend inside this place seems just too ridiculous,' Rean commented.
[Indeed,] Sister Orb completely agreed with that. [Yet, such powerful systems do exist. Don't forget that what the Soul Gem System did to you and Roan was even more ridiculously difficult than creating some copies. Now, we are pretty sure there is a Fragment of the Universe Foundation here. Do you think it is impossible when such an item is involved?]
'No,' Rean agreed with Sister Orb. 'If there is one thing we know, it is that the Fragments sometimes have different powers. Perhaps this fragment has some capability that allows one to achieve such a result.'
Rean then looked at the Light Beast and sighed. If he was right, then this Light Beast is, in fact, the original Soul, not a copy as it thought.
Yet, it was at this moment Rean felt like he was struck by lightning. 'No! Wait! This is wrong! This is completely wrong!'
[What problem?] Sister Orb asked.
'The compatibility of Souls and Bodies!' Rean began to explain. 'If compatibility is such a huge issue when you send the angels back outside, then what about the souls being used by these Light Beasts? These Light Beasts' bodies are obviously not their original ones. Wouldn't it be even more of a problem?'
[That...] Sister Orb had to admit Rean was right. [So you are saying that the Soul in this Light Beast isn't the original one? Instead, it is truly a copy?]
'Even if it was a copy, that would be terrible!' Rean continued. 'I understand if a copy of an angel's body was used to receive the copy of the angel's original Soul. In the end, those copies were very close to the original Soul and Body while they were created to fit each other. However, if a soul, even if it is a copy, is sent inside these Light Beasts, that will only end up in disaster! The compatibility will be absolutely trash, making any talent that the original Soul first had pretty much useless!'
Rean began to feel that everything he and Sister Orb thought was wrong. Most likely, they were completely wrong.
[Then... what are these Light Beasts?] Siter Orb wondered.
Rean pondered about the issue for a moment and suddenly, faintly smiled. 'Don't forget we are basing all our theories on the words of this Light Beast alone. Who said it is telling the truth?'
[Ah!] Sister Orb felt like an idiot. [Then this beast had been lying to you all this time!]
'No, it is not lying,' Rean immediately denied that idea.
Sister Orb was taken aback. [Wait, but you just said-]
Rean cut Sister Orb's words right there. 'What I said is that the Light Beast's words were probably not true. I've never said it was lying.'
[Eh? Then... Ohhhh!!!] Sister Orb finally understood. [So that's how it is.]
'Indeed, hahaha!' Rean continued. 'This Light Beast is not lying. Or, to be more specific, it doesn't think it is lying. All the information it thinks it has is fake. It's just that this Light Beast doesn't know they are fake.'
