When Constantine saw the end of Ruger's life, he was incredibly shocked...

He could not believe that in the end, what he had actually been seeing all this while in his dream was the life of an actual person, and it was this person who was responsible for him being struck by lightning.

Actually, it was more accurate to say that Constantine and baron had been struck by the souls of the two evolvers. it was only because of the nature of their power that their souls had appeared in the form of lightning.

At the end of the day, there was nothing Constantine could do about it. Now that he knew that what he was seeing was really the life of another powerful being who really existed and not the wild musings of an overactive imagination that was created by his feelings of being trapped and wanting to break free from his fate... once Constantine realized that everything was real, he started to worry.

In the end, because he was experiencing Ruger's life as if it was his own, Constantine understood that Ruger had sent his soul into his body in order to possess him. This meant that Constantine's life was currently in danger.

Constantine had read before about the theory of soul possession from various sources. Whether it was journals on the scientific study of soul possession or fictional theories coined up in novels and animation, Constantine had at least learned a few things about the topic and he knew that no matter which version it was whether real or fictional, the first step of possessing another person was to first assimilate their memories into your own.

This meant that in order to become another person, you first had to accept that person's memory and assimilate it into your own. Only when this is done would possession of another person's body be successful.

There were a lot of mentions of this fact everywhere, but the best example would be in all those cheap transmigration novels when the protagonist of the story would suddenly find themselves in a foreign place with the memories of another person in their head.

Although Constantine felt that those novels only glossed over the entire fact just to begin the story of the main character in another world making the overall progress of the story seem like a cheap rendition of an author's fantasies, Constantine had no choice but to refer to those novels since his situation was almost like how it was depicted in those stories.

Right now, Constantine did not know what his current situation was like...

Had he transmigrated to another world after being possessed, or did he make a comeback and actually assimilate the soul of Ruger Whitebrook into his own?

Constantine did not want to believe that. He felt that the chances of that happening were like that of the earth suddenly awakening spiritual energy like in the novels... almost impossible!

After all, the person in question was a powerful revolver with unmatched talent. even in his homeworld, the ascended firmament star Ruger Whitebrook's power was almost invincible, and not many people were a match for him.

The number of years Ruger Whitebrook had lived was a thousand times more than how long Constantine had lived... it should be noted that Ruger was more than a thousand years old. If Constantine was supposed to reverse possess Ruger, he would first have to assimilate thousands of years of memory from Ruger. It was not something his little undeveloped brain would be able to handle and it would sooner fry like a piece of overused hardware than bear all that memory.

Constantine was more inclined to believe that he was already dead from bearing the weight of Ruger's memory, and he was nothing but a lingering thought, a will that tried desperately to hold on to his own existence.

In the state Constantine was in, he didn't know how much time had passed.

Everything seemed to have only happened for an instant, but it also felt like years had gone past. During the time Constantine had been experiencing Ruger's life, he definitely felt like he was being assimilated little by little and his consciousness became heavy and laden.

Gradually, Constantine was not able to hold a single thought long enough to remember what it was about and it was as if he was going to vanish and go into a deep and long sleep anytime soon. But despite all this, Constantine never once forgot who he was...

He was still able to clearly differentiate his own memories from that of Ruger's memory.

Even though Constantine could not bear the weight of thousands of years of Ruger's memory, his own memory of his life never disappeared. Instead, it was as if it was surrounded by a bubble at the center of those thousand years of memory, like a small reef surrounded and battered by ocean water on all sides...

Eventually, Constantine could no longer keep himself awake and he slowly drifted into a deep sleep.

Before Constantine fell asleep, he suddenly caught sight of a blinding silver-blue light that exploded in his mind, causing the thousands of years of memory that were bearing down on Constantine to break into countless tiny individual pieces.

These broken pieces of memory were then connected together by a thin streak of lightning, preventing any of them from being lost. Eventually, the thin streak of lightning penetrated the bubble surrounding Constantine's memories, and it connected his memories to the memories of Ruger Whitebrook.

Eventually, with the aid of this thin streak of lightning, Constantine's memories were constantly nourished by Ruger's memories, filling it little by little with pieces of Ruger's memories that had been broken into different pieces.

This sudden development immediately relieved the stress on Constantine's memories, causing the weight on his consciousness to lighten. The fear that once assaulted Constantine finally subsided, and he fell into a warm and relaxing sleep like he was in the cozy embrace of his mother.

Before Constantine's consciousness fell asleep, he suddenly heard an exclamation of surprise from somewhere.

"Eh!"

Constantine didn't know where this sound had come from and he didn't care. Instead, with a calm mind, Constantine quickly slept.

The next time Constantine would wake up would be a year later and he would wake up to find that the world he knew had gone through incredible changes straight out of his imagination.
