Spiritual Power extended like countless fine threads into the interior of the puppet, guiding the Bloodline Energy to flow along the pre-set paths.
During this process, Ron could clearly feel every change the puppet was undergoing:
The Rune network started to merge with the Bloodline Essence, creating a new energy circulation pattern;
The material structure was rearranged at the molecular level, gaining greater flexibility and Magic Conductivity;
Most importantly, a complex network akin to a nervous system began to form within the puppet...
"Successful... Bloodline fusion completed."
Ron wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling the new feedback coming from the puppet.
Now it was no longer a simple Alchemy creation, but a composite entity with certain life characteristics.
As power was injected, the repulsion between Soul Steel and Crystal began to alleviate.
Under the directional reconciliation of the Bloodline, the two completely different materials started to produce a subtle Resonance.
But the most critical step was still ahead—Soul Splitting and Sealing.
This was the most dangerous yet important stage in Master Sword creation.
"A portion of the Soul Fragment must be separated and sealed within the sword core... to give the weapon independent will..."
Ron gazed at the Magic Power Amplification Crystal on the puppet’s chest, which would become the container for the Soul Fragment.
He thought of Adrick and Morgan’s state at the final moment, their determination to leave a part of themselves forever in the weapon.
"Their experiences have already pointed the way for me... now it’s time to surpass my predecessors..."
He closed his eyes, diving deep into the soul’s deepest level.
"My situation is different from those Magic Swordsmen... The Stand-In Puppet itself is an extension of my consciousness... This division is more like... a re-integration."
In the depths of his consciousness, he could feel his soul vast and complex like a galaxy.
There, he could see the essence of his composition:
The profound wisdom from the Hermit Star, dark like the deep sea;
The rational analysis from the Scholar Star, as transparent as Crystal...
"Which part to choose?"
After careful consideration, Ron decided to separate the parts related to "exploration" and "adaptation".
These traits suited a weapon that needed to fight in various environments, aligning with his pragmatic principles.
The process of Soul Splitting was accompanied by intense spiritual turmoil.
He felt his consciousness being sliced apart by a sharp blade, a part of himself being stripped away.
For someone with a "Dual Soul" like himself, it was relatively less difficult, and the splitting process went fairly smoothly.
And at the moment when the separation was completed, a miracle happened.
The Magic Power Amplification Crystal erupted in brilliant light.
The Soul Fragment seamlessly fused with the Crystal structure, creating an entirely new core.
The puppet began to breathe autonomously.
Its chest heaved rhythmically, and the runes on its surface brightened and dimmed with the "heartbeat".
Ron gazed at his creation, feeling an unprecedented sense of achievement surge within him.
"It succeeded..."
He looked at the strange creation radiating the light of life before him, overwhelmed by a sense of immense accomplishment:
"This material now has the life affinity of Soul Steel and the Energy Conversion ability of Crystal."
With the complete integration of consciousness, the material began its final Transformation.
It was no longer a static block of metal but began to flow like a living liquid.
Under Ron’s conscious guidance through the Soul Fragment, the material began to take shape.
Sword hilt, guard, blade... each part was formed under precise Control.
What finally appeared before his eyes was a weapon the likes of which he had never seen before.
The sword’s blade exhibited a flowing luster like mercury, with the surface’s Rune network pulsing like veins.
The hilt retained some features of the puppet, smooth as jade, offering excellent hand feel.
Most striking was the "eye" in the center of the blade, which was the core of the Magic Power Amplification Crystal.
This eye would change color according to the user’s emotions, currently emitting a gentle blue light.
