"What? You want her to do an experiment on my body?" Agnez took over the body again from Mazikeen. "I have seen her do it, I don't want to," Agnez sounded nervous and it was the first time for her to feel nervous.
"Even if that will make you twice or even three times stronger than you are right now?" Mykel asked.
"No, those slimes and that Homunculus, I don't want them inside my body. I have more than enough," Agnez shook her head and she really hated the idea. "I would do anything, but not this," Agnez said.
"We haven't even heard what kind of method Devi is going to use. Why don't we listen to her first?" Mykel asked.
Agnez looked at Deviatris with her eyes squinted because she already knew it wouldn't be a pleasant method. On the other hand, after she heard the warning that Mykel said and the risk of failure that would end up with her being punished by Mazikeen and Agnez, it terrified her.
Deviatris sat down in her lab coat and crossed her legs as she tried to think of a way to maintain both bodies and at the same time work on each other. A current body of a Demi-god and the vessel of an Archdemon body, she would need a way to combine both of them.
"(You're asking the impossible here, Mykel)" Lucifer said after he tried to find a way to combine divinity and impurity.
"(What makes it impossible?)" Mykel asked.
"(What makes a demon a demon isn't their physical body, but the damned soul inside that's forged in the depth of hell. I know you know, and Mazikeen's body is indeed an embodiment of an Archdemon, but Both Agnez and Mazikeen have become one soul, just as you consumed my soul)" Lucifer said as he kept thinking. "(Get me out of here, I need to be in a comfortable state to be able to think clearly)" Lucifer continued.
Mykel let Lucifer out, and he immediately walked to the operating table. He took a deep breath and exhaled deeply as he observed the body from up close. He was indeed admired for Behemoth's ability to create such a masterpiece of a body.
"Let me bring in someone else who might be able to solve it," Mykel said as he summoned Gaia into the room.
"Oh? What do we have here?" Gaia asked as she looked at every who had troubled expressions.
Mykel explained what he wanted to do with Agnez and Mazikeen's body. Gaia who had only heard that much already knew what he was trying to do and what for.
"Summary, Mazikeen's soul is basically nonexistent because Agnez consumed her when it turned into a skill. Now even Agnez could use Mazikeen's power, she wasn't an Archdemon. Their power can only be switched from Agnez to Mazikeen and combined into one, is that what's happening?" Gaia looked at Mykel.
"Yes, it's like water and oil or two sides of a coin that can't be mixed together. I want both of them to exist at the same time just like how I managed to get all Lucifer's powers," Mykel answered.
"But that's because you're a powerful God and the skill that you possessed is different from Agnez, right?" Gaia asked.
"Yes," Mykel nodded in agreement.
"But Mazikeen has the ability to move her soul out of her body which means if she used it, Agnez's soul would be out with her as well," Gaia said as she looked at Mazikeen's body.
"No, because my soul has been consumed by Agnez's soul, I have no power to move anymore. If that's the case, it shouldn't be that hard," Mazikeen answered. "But even so, that won't solve the problem that Mykel wants which is to make Agnez able to use my power," Mazikeen continued.
"So the first problem is to extract the power of the consumed soul? That would be impossible," Gaia said as she sighed.
Mykel tried to Modify [Demonic Manifestation] in Agnez's skill tab, but the list didn't have [Demonic Apparition] or [Demonic Possession]. He then thought of something, what if he removed the [Demonic Manifestation] skill from Agnez's skill tab? Would it make Mazikeen's soul separate herself from Agnez, or would it erase Mazikeen's soul from existence?
"Lucifer, come with me for a second," Mykel said as he left the room with a troubled expression.
Mykel warped away with Lucifer and went to his office.
"What do you think?" Mykel asked.
"That's..." Lucifer didn't know what to say. "We won't know if you didn't try it," Lucifer continued.
"The only one who has this ability is me and Agnez only, unless we try to let an Awakener be possessed by a demon, just any ordinary demon would be fine," Mykel replied.
"Use the Chimera then, let's go from there and see how many will survive the process," Lucifer said as he stood up.
Mykel nodded in agreement and then they all went back to the lab. He decided to postpone the experiment, and so he explained to them about using someone else in the experiment.
"That would be the best option," Gaia said. "While you both were away, this beautiful child and I were talking about the way of making two souls not consume each other. Instead, they will live together inside," Gaia continued.
"And? Did you find a solution for that?" Mykel asked.
"With my experience of creating lives. As long as a soul doesn't have a vessel, they're easy to contain and control. They won't try to devour one with each other unless they're given a working vessel, a body," Gaia explained. "But, that won't be the case here if we put their souls in a vessel that they can't control. They both will stay still and won't devour each other," Gaia continued as she looked at Mykel and hoped he would understand what she was talking about.
Mykel looked at Gaia judgingly staring at him, and so he thought about what she said.
"Wait, isn't that like what the Soul Catcher sword does? Thousands of souls trapped but none of them devouring each other," Mykel asked.
Gaia smiled and proudly nodded her head. "Exactly. That's why we both are thinking if we could put their souls in a small vessel. Like a stone, a powerful one that can contain an Archdemon soul and a Demi-god soul. Once we put their souls inside, we will find a way to put that stone inside the body and control the body with those two souls," Gaia replied. "There's only one thing that I'm a bit unsure about," Gaia continued.
"That it won't work?" Mykel asked.
"No. I believe this plan will work without a problem. What I'm unsure about is, how will two souls live in a single body? That's something you have experienced before. When Shelly possessed your body and let her control both your body and your subconscious. How was it?" Gaia replied as she stared at Agnez.
"It was weird, but at that time I didn't control my own body since I let Shelly take control of everything because I wanted to know how she used magic," Mykel answered as he remembered how it felt. "I did the same thing to someone else's body, and that time I was the one who was in control," Mykel continued.
"Now imagine if two souls wanted to take control of the body. Isn't that going to be difficult?" Gaia asked.
"Let's talk about that once I've managed to separate their souls. We will figure it out, or to be exact, let them figure it out themselves," Mykel answered and looked at Agnez.
"With that, we will be able to create a new being, a powerful one that has no limitation!" Deviatris was thrilled and she couldn't hold her excitement.
"Even among us Gods, we call this a taboo," Gaia said and she didn't like the idea. "One who can possess the power of demons and Gods. Such a being is can be considered a threat, even you don't have the power that the demons possess," Gaia looked at Mykel from the corner of her eyes. "I only have one question, Mykel. Do you really want this to happen? To make a taboo?" Gaia asked seriously.
"Of course. Why did you ask the obvious?" Mykel asked back and stared Gaia in the eye.
"You're right, why did I ask that question to you," Gaia replied as she stared at Mazikeen's body.
