What would happen if one were to gain the ability to affect souls and manipulate them.
With such overpowered ability, if one were thrown in a world filled with beings that don't have the ability to touch the soul and elevate its existence to a higher dimension, would you have a chance against these great beings who cannot destroy souls?
With flesh as a container, would it even have a chance against these mighty beings that treats humans as flies buzzing before their presence?
Manipulate and absorb souls to elevate your existence to become the only energy being that wraps itself into the fabric of reality into fooling you were part of it? With the power of souls anything can be achieved through, summoning demons, soul attack, soul manipulation, sacrifice for higher dimensional entities.
An overpowered ability like this is not enough, your body is weak to physical contact, your in need of constant food, with a body of flesh all forms of weakness arise before you even achieve to become an energy life-form.
You chose the best option. Abandon the flesh, embrace the machine and technological advancements, releasing your soul when the goal is reached becoming the peak of power.
