Supreme Lord: I can extract everything!-Chapter 1019 Mike in the Untamed Jungle

It didn't take long after his body formed before Mike entered the Origin Expanse. He was still Michael, only in a different body ….that looked just like Michael. In fact, even calling himself Mike wasn't necessary. It only helped Michael separate the bodies. Mike was the new body whereas Michael was the old body.

The new body would stay in the Origin Expanse and take care of all issues there, whereas the old body was slowly but steadily transformed into a weapon powerful enough to fight the Primal.

Only a few minutes passed after Mike emerged in the Untamed Jungle when he felt odd. Something was missing.

"Why does it feel so weird without the God Curses? My body feels so clean…so pristine and flawless," Mike murmured, wondering if every Awakened felt like that. Mike doubted that was the case, but if it was… then everyone would have to be a lot stronger than they are. But the reason he doubted everyone to feel like Mike was simple. Mike might have an empty and unrefined War Rune, but his Energy Pillar never formed. An Energy Vortex formed instead of the Energy Pillar. The Energy Vortex would help him advance quickly, especially without a single proper Soultrait Symbol residing in his Soul Sphere. Perfect Soul Vessel and Second Body disappeared when they merged with Mike's Living Soul, leaving Mike with an empty Soul Sphere.

Well, the dormant Divinity Seed of Extraction was still there. Michael provided his second body with enough SoulStar Fragments to unlock the Divinity Seed once he entered the Origin Expanse too. That was what Mike did while checking on his perfectly purified body.

'My Soul is already refined. All I have to do is expand it a little bit more. My mind is also the same and thus perfectly refined to the Peak of the 8th Tier. In fact, given the benefits of my Soultraits and the four Divinities, my mind should be considered God Tier. That only leaves my physique which is perfectly purified and thus easy to refine.'

Mike smiled. Even without death energy, energy shares, and mountains of resources he would reach the 1st Tier within hours. Mike's War Rune would progress rapidly thanks to the surrounding energy density and the Energy Vortex working rapidly and tirelessly. Activating the Divinity Seed of Extraction didn't take long either, but some things changed upon triggering the Divinity Seed. Mike quickly noticed the difference between the Seeds in Michael and the Soul Sphere forming from the Extraction Divinity Seed.

'The Divinity Seed in Extraction is a replica and can never blossom. All it can do is use Extraction at the same level as Extraction in Michael's body. But the replica is also a little weaker because it can only be used on energy and corpses. That is a shame, but I guess it makes sense. The Soultrait belongs to Fenrir and is bound to the Beast God. Fenrir is not here with me. Therefore, I cannot use the full extent of Extraction.'

Mike was fine with that. He didn't need Extraction's full power to become the strongest. All he needed was the power to procure Soultrait Symbols and SoulStar Fragments. More than that could be considered a luxury.

Mike sat down on the ground and checked his access to the Links of Loyalty, the primal root, and how much control he had of the Untamed Jungle. The Nature Heart was located inside Michael, but since Mike and Michael were the same, Mike could tap into the Nature Divinity as well. The only 'issue' was the delay. Since the Nature Heart was not located in Mike's heart, it would take a few seconds for the Heart to sense Mike's wishes and orders. While that could turn into a slight problem, Mike could ignore it since he was now aware of the delay. As long as he didn't try using the Nature Divinity, or his other Divinities, in a fight, Mike would be fine. That also meant Mike would have to come up with new tactics, acquire new Soultraits, and possibly alter his combat style. Others would be annoyed about that, but Mike found it rather intriguing. He had been busy creating Soultrait Symbols with perfect synergy for his Super Awakened and studied for months to improve their Soultraits and combat style. Mike was confident when it came to Soultrait Symbols. No one was better than him. Except for himself, maybe!

He chuckled lightly but got up after reassuring me how easy it was to access everything Michael had access to. It felt a little bit weird to share his consciousness with two bodies, but since his Fates were separated yet still combined into the Twin Fates, Michael/Mike didn't think it would be an issue. If anything, it was a challenge they had to overcome to generate the best results.

"Are you…Michael?" A young Forest Elf, an Awakened the Forest Elven Tribe had sent to the Untamed Jungle a few years back, asked Mike hesitantly. The Link of Loyalty connected the subjects of Michael's territories with him, which was also why they could sense something similar about Mike. Mike also looked the same as Michael, and their presence wasn't unfamiliar either. However, the wildness in Michael's presence wasn't the same, and he was only a Tierless Awakened. After all, his body was reborn, and the influence of the God Curses' Essences didn't affect his new body either. It was only obvious that others were confused about his identity.

"I am Michael, yet not really," Mike responded lightly, "It's a Doppelganger I created to be in the Origin Expanse since my original body will be busy and unavailable for a few decades."

The Forest Elf looked at Mike, trying to grasp the situation, but he gave up and nodded merely.

"I am also busy with something. Do you need my help, or can I leave?"

Mike waved dismissively and turned in the direction of the wooden manor.

"Go your way. This is my fight."

Mike didn't think about it thoroughly before but he hoped his friends would accept him just like they accepted Michael.

'What if Alice and Lucia reject this body? What if they think it's weird?'

It was already too late for having second doubts. Michael would be busy for years and Mike was the one who could be present.

At the end of the day, Mike and Michael looked the same, and they were the same. The only difference was their power level.

'It will be alright!'
