Kyle spoke hesitantly,
"Devin, please stay away from him. I don't know why but I don't want any of you to be near him and the aura around him. It's creepy."
Devin smiled softly when he heard that. He looked at Kyle and cupped his cheeks. He spoke in a soft tone,
"You don't have to worry about such matters, leave them to us?"
Kyle looked at Devin and he spoke,
"But I don't want to be in your shadows all the time. What if there will be a moment when none of you will be present with me. What if…"
He didn't dare to go further. Devin understood him. He embraced the omega and spoke softly,
"Okay then. Soon, we will start your training."
Kyle buried his face in Devin's broad chest and nodded. After sometime, he spoke,
"I am preparing for tier 3. I have been suppressing this but I don't think I can do that anymore."
Hearing this Devin was surprised and asked,
"But a few days ago, you were just in the third stage."
Kyle snorted and spoke,
"I have been in the water."
Devin looked at Kyle speechlessly and there was nothing for him to say anymore. In the end, he sighed and spoke,
"Just let me know when you are going to do that. I want to observe the changes in you."
Kyle nodded when he heard that. After that, he hugged Devin and closed his eyes. Seeing him sleep, Devin sighed but then his eyes closed and he recalled all the words that Kyle told him but there were two things that stuck him.
'Miles was not simple from the very beginning. Otherwise, if he truly loved Kyle, he could have come in front of everyone but he did not. And then the strangeness that Kyle told him about that.'
The other thing that struck him was Kyle. He looked at the omega with complicated eyes. The continuous use of Kyle Arther when talking about the actions that he committed and saying that he was not Kyle Arther.
How could Devin not understand the meaning behind those words but he didn't speak them. To be honest, he liked this Kyle more than the one before him. And he felt that there was something different about this Kyle that made it impossible for Devin to hate him.
This might also be the reason that Torin did something he didn't want to. He didn't care about the opinions of others at all. Devin thought to himself.
After some hesitation, he called someone and his cold voice sounded to the other end. He told him everything about Miles. The other side became silent after hearing that. Then a snort sounded and a majestic voice appeared,
"That disgusting thing is nothing in front of me. But tell me, what is happening with this omega…"
Before he could speak anymore, Devin cut the line of connection between them. He is going to make sure that these guys will die of jealousness when they learn the truth. He then continued to hold Kyle and started cultivating.
Time passed and three days passed like nothing.
It's been more than a week since Kyle arrived in this world. He was sitting in water and closed his eyes. He was preparing to break into the third tier. Not far from him, Devin looked at Kyle.
He muttered to himself,
"I want to see what is strange about you. There were many secrets that even you might not be aware of about yourself."
With that, he continued to observe Kyle.
Kyle was in his sea of consciousness at this moment and he was observing the changes in his surroundings. The entire sea of consciousness was filled with various thoughts and intents that belonged to him. They were like threads that were attached to his soul and his spiritual essence.
Kyle looked at those threads and he knew that these threads represent his consciousness. He activated his cultivation technique then all the threads started to become one. The process was slow but stable.
Kyle continued to observe the threads. From the threads he observed the emotions that Kyle Arther had.
The thread of loneliness.
The thread of despair.
The thread of pain.
The thread of anxiety.
With each thread, Kyle felt his heart drop. He looked at the threads and observed the emotions that were appearing in Kyle Arther before he arrived. These were the threads that belonged to Kyle Arther.
But Kyle frowned slightly because in these threads, he didn't sense the thread of love anywhere. If Kyle Arther claimed to love Miles, then why is there no thread of love?
As he ventured into the sea of consciousness, he became alert from what he saw in front of him. There was a dark thread. A thread that was severed slightly but all the threads of pain, despair and such passed through it and connected to somewhere but there was no soul of Kyle Arther to connect.
Kyle seemed to realise something and his expression changed slightly.
He didn't go near the thread of darkness because he felt familiar from this thread. He receded his senses and appeared at the origin of the threads where the threads were slowly merging.
He looked at them who passed through his sea of consciousness to his soul. The threads are cultivated by the spiritual energy and there needs to be more than eighty-one such threads that define the consciousness realm and laid the foundation for the sea.
Kyle looked at the threads and there were more than hundred and fifty threads. Half belonged to Kyle Arther but the later ones were cultivated by himself. They were the thread of gentleness, love, passion, ambition, admiration, determination, and such.
He can control these threads and he used his threads to condense his own form in his sea of consciousness. Unknown to him, the system was surprised when it saw this and it spoke,
[condensed the projection in the sea of consciousness before entering into the spirit sea realm.
Achievement reward: Triple bond]
Kyle was not aware of that. He looked at his phantom and then he moved his gaze at the origin of threads that belonged to Kyle Arther. He spread his hands and made a wrapping motion and the threads that belonged to Kyle Arther appeared in the phantom's embrace.
Kyle looked at them and he spoke softly,
"Everything is okay. Kyle, you must let go of such emotions. And I am sorry that I occupied your body but I promise that I will never let this body face the same as you. Since I absorbed your essence, I know that somewhere inside me, you might be present or not, I don't know but still.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity and sorry for what happened in the past."
With that, his own thread of gentleness, love, passion and such shone of his phantom body and they all hugged the threads of Kyle Arther. The merging of the threads deepened and the origin of the threads flashed and they all shone.
At the end of the sea of consciousness where the thread of darkness resided and corroded, the threads of Kyle Arther slowly dispersed like a black gas and the threads became free. They were the parts of someone else but they started to connect to Kyle.
Kyle embraced everything and the threads started to melt and convert in a vast sea. The sea was so vast that even Kyle couldn't sense it immediately.
As the threads merged completely, a blinding light shone and it slowly entered in the vast sea. If the sea was moist before, then water started to rise from the moistness and the level of water increased.
This water was the conversion of spiritual energy and his overall transformation of the sea of consciousness for the spirit sea realm.
…
Devin continued to watch over Kyle and after three hours, he sensed something and he looked at Kyle with a frown. He sensed a disgusting aura rising from Kyle and Devin narrowed his eyes slightly.
A martial avatar appeared behind him and an oppressive aura appeared in the surroundings. Just then, black smoke arose from Kyle and it started to escape but Devin snorted and the martial avatar behind him slapped the black smoke.
The black smoke extinguished and Devin also retracted his martial avatar. He looked at Kyle whose body began to shine and then he sighed in relief when he felt the faint energy tremors around him.
This means that Kyle has entered in the spirit sea realm. But then he widened his eyes when he saw that all the water around them entered in Kyle and it was absorbed by Kyle.
It was not water that was absorbed. The water transformed into the spiritual energy and entered in Kyle. The elements were the spiritual forms and water is also the embodiment of water elements.
When Kyle absorbed the water, his glow increased and Devin saw something that widened his eyes.
