Gail is not in the clan at that moment.

So, Sam had to wait for the night.

When Gail came back, Sam directly asked about the information he needed.

"It is indeed possible to get the information. I am visiting Mari Clan tomorrow anyway. So, I will ask him."

"Will he really just tell you? You are going to kill someone in the Mari clan, right?"

"Yeah, he really doesn't have much connection with the Mari Clan though. He grew up with his Maternal Grandfather most of the time and inherited his values.

The only reason he stays with the Mari Clan is because of the principles that his grandfather taught him. Otherwise, he would have cut himself loose a long time ago.

Even now, he spends most of his time in Divine Graveyard.

It won't be much of a problem to ask such a simple question."

"Alright. Thank you then."

After the conversation, Sam went back to his research.

The next morning, Gail started out and went to Mari Clan.

He trapped a Grand Elder and killed him.

Sin who was within the clan estate went to check the body and knew the instant he saw it that its Gail's handy work.

But after a bit of closer inspection, he found something. A message.

He understood the message and went out of the city. A bit far away from the city there is a large tree that is as tall as the cliff that is beside it.

Under that tree, Gail sat down as he munched on a large fruit of that tree.

"There should be a monkey guarding the fruit. Where is it?"

Sin asked as soon as he saw him.

"It ran away," Gail answered nonchalantly and threw fruit at Sin.

Sin caught the fruit and sat down beside him on one of the roots.

"So, what do you want to talk about."

"How is your son's progress with the soul absorption?"

"Why do you want to know?"

"Not me, the owner of your son's current body wants to know."

"You came to ask this from me, upon his request."

"Yeah, why?"

"You are the sonic prince Gail. Half the Divine Graveyard would get nightmares with just your name. When did you become information for a little kid?"

"When you became the guardian to your little kid. Saving from all of his pathetic shenanigans."

"Can't help it. He is my son after all."

"You should have thought of that when he was still growing up. He could have turned out to be a fine young man. You should have taken him out of that hell hole filled with backstabbing hyenas."

"What else could I have done? The whole marriage was a sham, to begin with and you know how my wife used to behave? She made him into this and died peacefully. Now, he is beyond changing with my words and I am beyond helping him.

He has committed too many things that even I can't bring myself to forgive."

"Don't give up. He is his son after all. As long he learns a big enough lesson, there is still a chance to bring him back."

"Enough with your advice. How is your daughter doing? I saw her a few months ago. She is beautiful."

"Of course, she is. Just like her mother."

"Indeed. Just like her mother."

"So, are you going to answer my question?"

"Yes. The soul absorption. Why don't you come with me? I will show you directly."

"Into Mari Clans estate? I am not going into that shit hole."

"Not to Mari clan. My son's stray dimension. A new one. He recently discovered it himself and for ten days, he is not coming out. He is making some massive preparations. After you watch that, I will answer your question."

"Alright, let's not waste our time here then."

An hour later.

Sin and Gail walked into the stray dimension.

It is completely different from the stray dimension of Grivon and Giyon. Instead of neatly constructed buildings or some wild life. The whole dimension looked like one large plot of land spanning for as long as they could see.

In that space, in various spots, large scale structures are being constructed.

Not a single one of them is completed. They are all in their skeletal stages. But they could see the faint shapes. Some looked like towers, some looked like large blocks and some looked like they are weirdly shaped skeletons of animals.

They walked in as they looked at different things many artisans, inscription and formation masters working their asses off.

But even more surprising thing is the equipment they are using. The equipment looked completely weird. They are wearing different kinds of exoskeletons that could help them glide. The welding machine could make two pieces of completely different mental stick.

A furnace that doesn't need anyone's constant supervision to burn.

A machine that could cut the metal without any excess spiritual energy injection into it.

There are many things that absolutely blew his mind.

"What are these things?"

"I don't know. But I am pretty sure even my son barely knows them."

"Then who came up with these ideas?"

"Who? The original owner of the body. These are all the ideas manifested from Sam's dormant soul. All inventions, half inventions, ideas, thoughts, designs, experiments. It has been a while since I saw information that is so valuable all hidden in one person's head.

But when I consider the strength of that soul, I can only say this is expected.

The soul absorption speed of course increased with every attempt Sivan made, but every time obtained a small part, he learned the secrets of Sam more and more and he started a project.

He slowly stopped caring about whatever that is outside. His powers, subordinates, he almost gave up on everything. The only reason he is clinging on them is because of the money they provide and how useful they are."

As they are talking, they finally arrived at the barracks. There Sivan is sitting in an office as he talked to artisans instructing them about various projects.

"This is made by a guy whose age is less than half of your whole experience. If you cannot crack it, then you better be off cutting your heads off. Do you understand?"

He yelled at him and threw the blueprint.

Sin and Gail entered the room as the artisans walked out.

Sivan looked at them and frowned. Soon his frown turned into shock and as he was about to panic, Sin said.

"you better shut your mouth."

As if he is a puppet, Sivan closed his mouth instantly.

"He is Gail. I think you already know of him. He has a few questions. Why don't you answer them honestly?"

Sivan held the armrest of his chair tightly and wanted to break it. But his father's stare kept him in check and he held his attitude back.

Gail looked at Sivan's face and body.

"No wonder Sam is so pissed that his body is gone. He indeed looks great."

Sivan didn't reply and just let him see. Gail took walk around the table as he scanned the body with a spiritual sense and said.

"That coat, is it also Sam's?"

"Yes."

"A great one, the spirit is extraordinary. What is with so many scars on the body?"

"That sick headed bastard did it himself. He has a twisted mind. His insane logic is to remember the wound through the scar so that he wouldn't make the same mistake again."

"From the density of the scars, I say that he didn't do that bad of a job. But the arms seemed to be way too clean."

"He has a habit of cutting his limbs of now and then. Even when I was stealing the body, he did the same."

"So, how is the soul absorption going on?"

"I am almost there."

"What do you mean almost there? Can you be a bit more direct about it?"

"I cannot reveal all the details. I will tell you what I can and you have to find out the rest from Sam." Sivan answered as he took a deep breath.

"Why don't you answer it completely?"

Sin asked from the side.

Sivan looked at him hatefully and said.

"Don't you feel any shame? You are asking me to give information to an enemy after bringing him to the stray dimension? What kind of person are you?"

Sin looked at Sivan coldly with his aura raging. When Sivan was about to feel the pressure, Gail used his own energy to block the effect and said.

"Don't worry Sin. He is way too young to understand our situation."

He paused and turned to Sivan before saying.

"Tell me what you can. I will get the rest from Sam."

"Sam's soul is linked to something very powerful and superior to any of the realms that I know of.

Because of that link, Sam and some other chosen people are to finish some tasks. When I was about to absorb Sam's soul completely, that small link stopped me from finishing it.

So, apart from that small part, I absorbed everything that is related to Sam.

Everything about his childhood. His journey, his sick thoughts, his twisted craziness.. I absorbed everything apart from that small part."
