Wholly Undead 107 His Angels In The Ligh

From time to time, small winged golden skeletons with scythes would come before him leaving a small floating blob. Jack would reach out and absorb it before going back to his meditation. There were at least a hundred of these Cherub Angels of Death.

These Cherubs were small baby looking skeletons with large heads, and small bodies. Each of them had a pair of skeletal wings on their back that flapped in flight, and carried a small version of the same ccythe that the Angel of Death weilded. The were cute in a creepy way, as they s.h.i.+ned with a golden radiance.

[It was pure genius to think up these Cherubs. Twos the results with half the effort.] Jack thought smugly at his own genius. Using the voices within the power he absorbed previously, he was able to make synthetic souls and form these cherubs, through a heavily modified Angel of Death spell. They had not freedom of choice and no personality, but they could execute simple commands... Such as find pieces that look like this and return them to me.

Thus, Jack sent out his Cherubs to collect himself, while he sat on his pelvis and ponder the great mysterious of the Light.

As for why they were Cherubs. They were based on the Angel of Death spell. Jack had wanted to model them after some game monsters he use to collect in a small game in his previous like, where he could hold a bunch of them in his pocket... But his dreams were shattered when he could model them, but they were nothing but constructs without thought... It seemed that the Angel of Death spell had some deeper meaning to it, that Jack was still learning.

[I guess Cherubs are cool... I'm suppose to be a G.o.d, after all...] Jack shook his head, as another Cherub brought him another piece.

[At this rate I should be complete within a few more days... Perfect! I think the first thing I'm going to do when I get back is get Tux to make a spell to refine this power, and then bone Leslie until I must be entombed for another thousand years!] Jack laughed within his mind.

The Cherubs in the light were darting around looking and collecting. They worked like a hive of bees, continuously dropping off bits and pieces they found.

A Cherub brought back another piece, dropped it off, and rushed back to the south again. Jack reached out his hand to absorb this, when he felt something was off.

He opened his vision to look at the thing in front of him. [What is this?] It was a small sparkling sun. Unlike the ma.s.sively large suns he had seen in this strange plane of light, this one was the size of his hand. The smallest he had seen.

Jack thought for a few moments, and decided to try to pick it up, based on that it was picked up by one of his Cherubs.

He held it and felt bit of understanding dawn on him. As he held it, it seemed that some of the things he was wondering earlier unraveled in his mind.

[HOLY f.u.c.k, THIS IS A COMPERHENSTION ORB!] Jack shouted in his mind. He had read in his Library, where he was deathly bored while waiting for his laptop to finish its progress on his Throne about these!! Just by holding it, it could provide the soul with better understanding, at the same time, the essence of the orb would be absorbed by the soul. It wouldn't increase Cultivation level or rank, but it would increase understanding of the Cultivation, in question.

[!!! I know what I better thing on! Light speed... I need to cultivate speed! Speed reigns supreme in this world...!!] Jack held the orb in his hands and began his comprehension of the Light.

He would ask questions, and he would answer his own questions with a bit of understanding. It was like being his own teacher with this...o...b..

[What is the Light? The Light is a state of matter, but a wave... Where does the Light come from? It comes from the creation of the Omniverse. Why is Light so fast? Because Light is the first source of creation and blessed by the Creator... Light is simplest of all forms of matter. I see, I see!]

Jack continued to question and answer himself, until he asked an unexpected question even to himself, as he was on a roll, [...Can the Light be destroyed? No, the Light merely changes to a different state...!! A different state? What is the different state of Light? Void... The Light and Void are two parts of the whole. Void becomes Light and Light becomes Void... The Void is anti-matter, where the Light is Matter. The Void is held in a different but connected Plane, while the Light is done the same. Both filter into the plane of reality, as designed by the Creator to form the cycles of eternity, like the cycles of life and death or the cycles of time and s.p.a.ce... These are the Laws left by the Creator!]

Jack's flaming eyes burst into flames upon his golden form in the realm of light, as the first time they had done so since he took over this new form.

[...I can't believe it.] Jack held the Orb in his hand... [Where do these Orbs come from...?] But when he asked this question... He couldn't draw an answer... These orbs were the things of legends, and he just so happen to have one.

[I need to keep this... Maybe I can give it too.... NOOOOOO!] As Jack held the Orb, it defused into light and dispersed. It seemed to have used all that was held within it.

[d.a.m.n it! Man d.a.m.n it! I needed that.] Jack shook his head, but it was already gone. [I had other things to a.s.sssssk!] But it was too late. It had already pa.s.sed into Oblivion.

Jack mourned for his new-found toy, until he seen in front of him a small collection of his soul. He tossed the sadness of his onetime use treasure to the side of his mind, as he absorbed his pieces that were brought back by his Cherubs, [I guess I will just have to treat those Orbs like one-time power ups... Life is cruel.]

If any other Cultivator of the WHOLE nine realms heard Jack speak in this way, they would run up to him immediately and beat him, even if they were just Grand Master Rank Cultivators!!! These Orbs were something you could only get by chance. These were the true treasures of the Cultivating world. In ancient times, they were known as 'Soul pieces of the Omniverse,' though that name had been lost to time.

[Oh, well. Let me study on what I know already.] Jack closed his vision, and so did his flaming eyes in the plane of light go out, as more Cherubs brought back more pieces of his soul.

[I wonder how the girls are doing... I hope I p.i.s.sed Verruca off enough to move on... I can't see someone as proud as her to submit to anyone, in a relations.h.i.+p. Haaaa~ I wish I could have done better by her. Maybe that Warmarshal Ken, Leslie was telling me about, can do good by her.]

Jack pondered as he moved his mind back to his task... [The Law of Light.. Speed of light... Speed...]
