Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 335 is completely his shape.

The Nightmare Butterfly told Thor that it had suddenly hatched because Thor had brought something back from outside.

That thing is actually the dream of the Nightmare Butterfly, the core of their racial heritage.

"In fact, we Nightmare Butterflies were all born from the dream of a high-ranking wizard. After that, our numbers only decreased and never increased. In the last hundred years, even many formal wizards were unaware of our existence."

"The egg is not our child; it is actually a new body. When our current body dies and disappears, our consciousness transfers to a new egg. The medium for this transfer is a dream. However, not all eggs can complete the transformation; most are just dead eggs. This time, the past Penny secretly hid the inherited dream in your dream, but... after waking up, she couldn't resist observing you out of curiosity."

Thor raised his chin, signaling Nightmare Butterfly to continue.

"At first, I might have just wanted to observe your recent history. But your history is so peculiar, and there are always some parts that are hidden... This made my curiosity grow stronger and stronger, until I couldn't help but see the day you came into this world..."

"Ahem!" Thor suddenly coughed lightly, interrupting Penny.

This was his subconscious reaction, because he didn't want others to hear what Penny had said.

But then he realized that Penny was only in his field of vision, not actually inside the wizard's tower. He couldn't see or hear the mist-like figures hidden in the room, or the black silhouettes that appeared from time to time.

Meanwhile, Xiaozao was...

Like a python, it coiled around Saul and the chair, then unwrapped them again.

Looks really boring.

Thor gently patted Xiaozao's head to calm him down before continuing, "You know... I'm a latecomer? You understand what I mean, right?"

"Yes, I understand what Brother Thor means." The Nightmare Butterfly's wings trembled slightly, like a person shrinking their shoulders. "It was because I saw that scene that Penny couldn't help but keep looking ahead... and then I became like this. I almost lost all my power and became Brother Thor's possession."

"You really don't remember what you saw back then? Even just a little bit." Thor leaned forward, staring intently at the Nightmare Butterfly.

The other person trembled even more violently, pleading repeatedly, "Brother Thor, I really don't remember. And my dream told me that if I remember, I will die, really die, the kind of death that reduces the number of Nightmare Butterflies by one."

Thor slowly leaned back in his chair, the oppressive pressure he had just felt gradually fading away.

Actually, he didn't really want to know that period of history now.

Especially in his dream, he almost broke down because he saw part of what Penny was seeing.

Looking back now, it felt like an explosion of a whole world suddenly being crammed into my head.

Even his diary couldn't pull him back from the brink of collapse.

Fortunately, at the last moment, Thor's body's self-protection mechanism kicked in, blocking his senses and causing him to faint.

The Nightmare Butterfly likely gained access to the diary and hid because Thor called its name at the last moment, acknowledging its existence.

It now seems that the Nightmare Butterfly did see something, probably more than Thor, which is why even such a powerful being almost collapsed.

"Then I'll keep the Nightmare Butterfly," Thor thought. "I'll explore my own history someday. At that time, the Nightmare Butterfly's past memories should be of some help to me."

He smiled, becoming increasingly relaxed. "It's okay if I can't recall it. I remember your first words after I fainted were, 'This won't do.' What did that mean?"

"Hmm..." Penny began to slowly flap her wings, as if she was recalling something.

Thor watched it quietly, without urging it on.

"I remember now. Brother Thor, the consciousness you transferred into that corpse was too clean. I haven't seen a consciousness stripped so cleanly in a long time. But such a consciousness can easily become a medium for a powerful spirit. When it entered that female corpse, it happened to run into a remnant of a certain thought, and its consciousness was taken away almost instantly."

"A remnant of the will?" Thor nodded thoughtfully.

Half of the corpses in the morgue were containers that Mrs. Yora had prepared for herself before her death. That female corpse might have once housed Mrs. Yora's spirit.

But if that's the case... then it's almost certain that the one who "killed me" is Yura.

As Gorsa said, Mrs. Yora's experiment on the independence of her soul failed.

Moreover, Saul suspected that Lady Yora had suffered from considerable contamination.

In those repeated cries of "Kill me," he could not hear any rationality.

"Even if the resurrection experiment can create a suitable vessel for Mrs. Yura's spirit to survive safely and for a long time, is Mrs. Yura, still corrupted, still herself?"

Saul couldn't help but wonder about Mrs. Yura, who saw herself as "Winnie" and merely a substitute.

Is this kind of resurrection truly a resurrection?

Has Professor Gorsa considered this issue?

"Definitely!"

Suppressing his complicated emotions, Thor continued to ask Penny, "But I need to conduct experiments on spirit transfer; this is a life-or-death mission. Do you have any way to make the consciousness in my hands resist the control of the residual will within the corpse?"

Thor looked at Penny, his eyes narrowing. This was its first test.

Penny seemed to feel the pressure too; she couldn't help but flap her wings, fly half a circle, and then quickly landed.

"That consciousness is entirely under your control; it is your warrior, and you need to equip it with swords and armor."

Thor hadn't considered this yet, but he became somewhat interested. "Consciousness can be armed?"

Penny said cautiously, "Consciousness cannot be changed at will; their form should be as pure as possible. However, you can coat them with a layer of energy—your stored soul fragments will suffice."

"I understand what you mean: to envelop the protected object with energy to resist external attacks. Hmm... Could I use this method to solve the container's repulsion problem?"

"This... I'm afraid that won't work."

"That's true," Thor himself came up with an explanation, "The physical body will have a stronger rejection reaction because of the layer of energy attached to the outside of consciousness."

Using a human body as a container is really troublesome! It's just not suitable for a soul or consciousness that isn't one's own original self.

Herman said he felt a slight sense of rejection when entering his own corpse, which was probably because his body was unrecognizable and his spiritual consciousness had been modified by Saul's diary.

Therefore, the two have now developed an irreconcilable conflict and can only temporarily live a superficially harmonious life of sleeping in the same bed but dreaming different dreams.

"Now we're back to square one. Why is my soul able to be contained by this body without any rejection reaction?"

Moreover, after experiencing the ordeal of his soul leaving his body, Thor is now becoming increasingly adept at using this body.

However, thanks to Penny's suggestion, Thor also had a guess: the unforgettable history he had experienced had added a protective layer to his soul. This protective layer prevented others from exploring his past and also prevented his body from distinguishing whether this soul was his original self.

At first, the body reluctantly agreed to the inhabitation of the soul from another world.

Later on, they would occasionally test Thor, this new soul.

However, this probing also alerted Saul.

After undergoing two transformations of the body, this body is now completely in the shape of the new Thor!
