"Once you've recovered from your injuries, we'll send you back to Silvermoon Tree Garden."

As Yinla said this, he released the hand of the elven girl who was recuperating in bed, nodded to Senata who was watching the treatment from the side, and said, "Her injuries will be left to the flower fairies."

Flower fairies are close relatives of the little fairies. They usually sleep inside specific flowers and then emerge when necessary to provide healing... Yes, they are rare doctors among monsters.

After all, given the monsters' self-healing abilities, they usually don't need doctors.

Yinla covered his head and left the room assigned to the elven girl. Ever since the previous massacre, he had been hearing some strange sounds in his head. What he didn't know was that his eyes were also constantly switching between black and scarlet.

Upon exiting the room, he saw Satan Ye talking to Sirina about the situation. He didn't seem inclined to interrupt, but instead shook his head as he walked down the corridor of the Demon King's castle.

Yinla is going to find Wolf to help her familiarize herself with the environment of the Demon King's territory, arrange her future work, and also let her try to mentor some apprentices to help the Demon King's territory start mass production of magic equipment as soon as possible.

As she walked, the voice in Yinla's head began to become clearer...

"..."

Then, in that instant, the chaotic sounds in my head disappeared, replaced by a faint connection, an extremely peculiar feeling, as if something had appeared out of thin air.

Yinla knew what that was... it was the consequence of alienation.

After the Archon is corrupted, a portion of the Mana will develop its own consciousness, and then separate from that portion of the Mana, just as the owners of those Manas live within the Archon's body. This consciousness is permanent.

In other words, a meaningless consciousness belonging to the monster he killed will permanently appear in the governor's mind, interfering with his combat and rationality.

They'll definitely go crazy eventually.

However, it might not be so bad for Yinla now, since when Yinla was mutated, all of Mana's masters had a pretty good impression of her.

"Alienation... it really has come after all."

Yinla muttered to himself helplessly, casually connecting to the link in his mind and saying, "Let me see whose consciousness has appeared in my head."

[Huh? Is that Lady Inra's voice?]

Tikkap's voice appeared out of nowhere in Ira's head.

Yinla nodded knowingly. His previous allocation of Mana was [Crimson Dragon], [Succubus], [Vampire], and [Headless Horseman], which seemed to have mutated the consciousness of the succubus.

Moreover, when there were two succubus manas at the same time, he randomly abandoned one of them, which was Sirina's mana.

"Hmm, so it's Tikkapu... although you're not the real Tikkapu."

[Tikkap: ???]

As Yinra conversed with the Tekkamane in his mind, the voice of the Tekkamane in his head seemed puzzled. He said, "I'll deepen the connection, and you'll understand... You are an independent consciousness created by your own Mana."

[Tikkap: Hmm? How amazing! I can see what Lady Inra is seeing right now, and I can feel you touching the wall. Am I inside Lady Inra's body right now?]

Yes, this is the sharing of consciousness and senses in the brain. If permissions are granted, this consciousness can also help control mana or limbs, although it doesn't have much significance.

[Tikkapu: But what does independent consciousness mean? I am Tikkapu!]

Yinla smiled helplessly, preparing to go to the terrace where the real Tikkapu usually stayed. He said, "I'll understand once I find your true form. Your current situation... is probably somewhat similar to a clone, isn't it?"

This situation does indeed sometimes occur.

Yinla remembered that one of the governor's subordinates had a similar situation... When the alienation occurred, the alienated Mana master was still alive, and at that time, the [Mana consciousness] also felt that it was the original body.

Then, when the governor actually went to see the true form of that Mana consciousness, that Mana consciousness collapsed, constantly refusing to accept the fact that it did not actually exist.

That governor almost drove me to despair.

However, in the few cases of "alienation," this situation is rare. Usually, Mana's master has already died, leaving only a malicious consciousness that opposes the governor.

After all, those Manas are usually enemies killed by the governors on the battlefield. After they develop consciousness, they have memories of their previous lives, so they don't have any goodwill towards the governors.

"You may find this hard to accept, but there's nothing we can do about it. From now on, you'll only be able to live inside my body. I'm very sorry, Tekap's Mana consciousness."

As Yinla said this, he slowly went downstairs, preparing to find the real Tikkapu.

[Tikkap: Huh? But...but...Lady Imra, I'm practicing my punches right now?! I should really be Tikkap, just someone who's connected to you on a telepathic connection, right? I should...right?]

The Cycle of Reincarnation

[Tikkap: Or rather, my consciousness has actually been replaced? Huh? But... I don't feel any difference? Huh? What does this mean?]

Upon hearing Tikkapu's confused and self-doubting voice, Yinra tentatively assumed it was a hallucination of Tikkapumana's consciousness, and could only apologize somewhat embarrassedly: "I'm sorry."

"However, if you still have doubts, you can try using your ability to come to my side. You'll find that you can't control your own body at all, and you can't do it at all..."

Tikkapu: ...

"..."

Yinla looked at Tikkapu, who had gradually become a fixed gaze from the illusion before him, having traveled directly to him through the void. He exchanged a puzzled look with Tikkapu.

Um, it must be a coincidence, right? It's just that the real Tekkamanpu happened to be looking for me... that's all?

"Tikkap?"

[Tikkap: It's me... So, what exactly happened?]

Looking at the silent Tikap in front of her, and listening to the voice of Tikap in her mind, Yinra, still somewhat doubtful, deepened the connection between her consciousness and Tikapmana's, and gave the command in her mind: Raise your right hand and try.

[Tikkap: Uh...]

Amidst such a sound, Tikkap, standing before Illa, raised his right hand.

"..."

Yoonra: "Huh?"

Tikkapu: "Lady Inra... I'm the one who was going to say 'Huh?' What happened? Why are our consciousnesses connected?"

...

Wait a minute, why is this mutation different from what I remember? Is it because the World Spellbook is on my neck that makes the symptoms of mutation more unusual?

Finally, Yinla fell into deep confusion.
