Comparing my soul pathways and arrangements with the one in Twin headed ogre soul I concluded that my soul could also be mutated. But there was some complication like if my sould mutated similar to the Twin headed Ogre my mental strength and consciousness would split into two and that result would be good if I had two heads like the Twin headed Ogre. 

But I do not and I will end housing two consciousness in my body which is only meant for one consciousness. I may end up developing something similar to split personality disorder, which I don’t want. So I will have to thoroughly analyse the soul pathways and arrangements of the Twin headed ogre so that only my mental strength splits into two and I gain mutated soul energy. 

This was going to be hard because the purpose of the mutated soul is to lead to two consciousness for two heads of the Twin-headed ogre, as for mental strength splitting and mutated soul energy they are just the by-product of the mutated soul. 

Come to think of it, it is similar to discovering how to develop a nuclear bomb into a nuclear power plant. The original intention for the nuclear bomb was the weapon of mass destruction but later developed into the nuclear power plant to power a country.

The nuclear energy example may not be an appropriate example to describe the situation with the mutated soul but you get the drift. I am not saying it is impossible to make changes to mutated soul to fit my requirements but I am emphasising how much of a big a deal it is and how hard it would be to achieve the required results on my own. 

But still, I had to give it my all because the possibility of mutating the soul meant the discovery of a whole new power system, other than the existing grimoire power system and previously discovered Viltronian human core power system. 

One would say the mutated soul is a dead-end power system. At most, it can split mental strength into two and mutate the soul energy to become twice as powerful as normal soul energy. What is the next level? It can not compare to the 10 realms of the grimoire power system and the Viltronian human core power system. Mutated soul at best can only be an auxiliary power system, it is still far from being a separate and mainstream power system like the grimoire and the Viltronian human core power systems. 

Those people are right if they only consider the soul mutation in Twin headed Ogre which has only two heads so its soul underwent mutation only one but what if you consider the creatures like Cerberus who have three heads, Hydra who have nine heads or the Hecatoncheires who have a total of fifty heads. 

I do not know how the mutation of the soul in each of these creatures works but this proves the possibility of the soul mutation process in itself can become a mainstream power system like the grimoire and the Viltronian human core power systems. With enough research, I may even be able to come up with a proper and working realm division for the soul mutation process. But for now, the single soul mutation of Twin-headed ogre was enough to enhance my strength. 

I spent two and half hours trying to analyse and come up with a way to avoid the splitting of my consciousness during the single soul mutation process. Heck, I analysed every soul pathways and arrangement almost 14 times but still, I could not find the one soul pathway which leads to the splitting of the host’s consciousness. After another 45 minutes, I finally realised that it was not just one soul pathway or arrangement which led to the splitting of the host’s consciousness but a network of soul arrangements combined to lead to the splitting of the host’s consciousness.

Fuck! If it was just a soul pathway or arrangement I could have solved the problem within a few hours or a day but a network of soul arrangements would take me a year or decades at tops. My final findings were not optimal for my circumstance. I don’t have a decade worth of time to optimise the soul pathway and arrangements of single soul mutation to meet my requirements, by then maybe I would be buried next to papa and mama Wyatt. 

This was frustrating, not because of the time I wasted on optimising the soul pathway and arrangements of single soul mutation instead of sewing back my soul but because I have the opportunity to gain more right in front of me taunting me but I do not have the time to make it mine. It felt so damned frustrating!!!

Just when I was concluding to give up for now and sew back my soul, I suddenly remembered an anime character back in otherworld with a very interesting and overpowered ability which just so happens to fit my current dilemma. If I remember correctly, the name of the ability was Multi-Consciousness. 

Multi-Consciousness, This ability gave that anime character the ability to have multiple consciousnesses in a single body. The best part of this ability was that the main consciousness was deemed as the Master consciousness while the rest of the consciousness were deemed as slave consciousness. 

The Master consciousness has total and unchallenged control over the slave consciousness. Thanks to this the user does not suffer from a lack of individuality, thus presenting all the consciousness in the body as singular rather than plural. This also allows the user to see a problem in multiple circumstances within seconds as the other conscious complement what the rest of the conscious have missed. 

Due to multiple consciousnesses, the user’s control over the body increases to the point where he can control the production and supplement of proteins and hormones in his body allowing the user to freely alter and manipulate his proteins and hormones to achieve superhuman strength, regeneration, immunity, heightened senses etc. 

All in all this ability was one overpowered ability that I could also achieve if I found a way to control the resulting consciousness during the soul mutation process. Which was easy thanks to the basic artificial beast will creation of this world. 

The consciousness formed after soul mutation will be in the infancy period just like the consciousness of a newborn baby and it will take at least 4-5 years for it to fully gain wisdom and start hindering my main consciousness. But during this period I will program the consciousness to form an artificial intelligence that will be a slave to my main consciousness and follow all my commands and control. 

If in future I can make more consciousness with the advancement of the soul mutation power system I will also program the new consciousness to be a slave to my main consciousness before they mature and gain wisdom. This way I finally decided on a perfect solution for my problems with the single soul mutation of the Twin headed Ogre. 

With all the problems solved all I had to do now was to decide on a perfect way to mutate my soul without harming it. The most efficient and painless way I can think of is by allowing the small part of the soul which is sliced by William to grow into a full soul in itself. since the sliced soul is not completely torn from the original soul, this way the new soul and original soul will remain connected and afterwards I can use the make use of my soul pupils and surgically fit both the soul to form a single mutated soul following the soul pathways and arrangements in the soul of the Twin headed ogre. 

Finally deciding on the way to mutate my soul I got off the bed and headed to the Cardroom but before heading in I turned to look at couch and side, “if you adultery couple disturb me then Ronnie we will be visiting the Vet to get you fixed for once and for all and be done with it.” Warning the fornicators I headed into the cardroom.

Sitting in the card room I took out a soul jade to help the torn small slice of my soul to grow into a complete soul. Finally consuming 2 soul jades the torn small slice of my soul had fully grown into a soul. Both my soul were connected but the soul pathways connecting them would not hold much longer which could lead to the separating of the two souls, which would be very disastrous for me cause my body is barely holding on to the weight of two souls right now but ones the two souls separated my body may completely collapse unable to house two souls within it.

So I had to be quick and surgically combine both the souls following the soul pathways and arrangements in the soul of the Twin headed ogre.
