What Bai Yi thought of was what her Avatar was researching before her ascension, and it was also strengthened during this ascension.
That is her soul armament!
Although the soul armament is currently housed within a living organism and must have a carrier to exist safely and function effectively,
this is because, essentially, a soul armament is just a soul; it cannot exist independently and must be housed within a network or placed inside a living creature.
The former means it cannot perform any function; it truly just serves as storage.
Only when it leaves the network and truly interacts with reality can it fulfill its intended function. To achieve that, there is only one way: give it a physical "body".
Bai Yi’s solution is to create a small organism that can absorb Magic Power independently to sustain itself, then give it a sturdy metal shell.
This would allow it to mimic a genuine Abnormal Object and serve as equipment for her or any other race to use.
Its functionality is very limited, merely equivalent to a Low-tier magical item.
But that was before, back when she hadn’t devised the appropriate means or hadn’t thought of the corresponding methods!
Now, after her ascension, she has gained better carving techniques, enough to let her effortlessly carve soul armaments at a superpower core level.
New gene entries have brought new possibilities to soul armaments!
Why can’t soul armaments be genuine "soul armaments"?
Souls are no longer just describing their form of existence, but are actually armed on and used by the soul?
If in the past, a soul couldn’t leave her care without a physical vessel, network support, and real-world interaction, it was indeed impossible.
After ascension, she expanded the application scope of her superpower, and from the oddity in the Weird World, she acquired a crucial gene entry!
It is the hallmark of Tier Three anomalies, called the resilient soul, allowing the soul to sustain in the real world!
This gene entry is foundational for Tier Three anomalies to reside within non-biological forms or even briefly exist as wandering spirits.
Although this gene entry similarly cannot achieve long-term sustenance, don’t forget, Bai Yi can enhance it!
Even though it no longer resembles a gene, her superpower can indeed take effect on it.
Her Avatar in the Weird World was originally conducting experiments to acquire another gene entry from the oddity
—the theoretical "emotional anchoring" that allows her witch network to perpetuate.
Since the resilient soul was not very useful at the time, it was casually used as an experimental subject for upgrading and was discovered that, after enhancement, it added soul defense and prolonged soul sustenance in reality.
At that time, she hadn’t thought about the practical use of this gene entry, just treated it as an interesting entry.
After all, the most crucial aspect of enhancing soul defense to weaken Spiritual damage was of no use to her.
With the immense racial spirit network, millions of spiritual power concentrated in one body, it might be limited by physical endurance for usage, but perfectly fine for defense.
Unexpectedly, the effect that was added as a bonus turned out to be the most useful.
Although soul armaments have already been used as weapons, their essence is still a soul!
Under the judgment of superpowers, it is still considered a living being, and this ability can be applied to it!
Thus increasing the strength of the soul armament, allowing it to exist independently in the real world without a vessel, is simply ideal!
"With this gene entry enhancing the soul armament, and now that soul carving after superpower ascension is much easier, it’s entirely feasible to carve the superpower core onto it.
If the theory holds, I might truly be able to create a unique ’superpower core’ armed on the soul and move with the soul!"
This way, she can use it without occupying the body and let the superpower effect reach the level of an Abnormal Object, or even rival the effect achieved through Power of Faith!"
Bai Yi made a simple estimation in her mind and found the possibility of success to be quite high!
Even if there might be some special limitations hidden within this soul armament, it is still very much worth a try.
At least, this method can expand the superpower limitations that her subordinate races can bear.
Moreover, more importantly, this superpower has additional significance for herself!
Her superpower inherently relies on the soul; as long as the soul exists, she can use it freely. However, those abilities unique to the body, like Space superpower, cannot move with the soul.
But if this soul armament can indeed achieve the desired effect now, then she can completely craft these common-use superpowers into "equipment" and arm them on her soul.
Enhance these superpowers to a degree where they can move with the soul!
As for how to achieve mass production of these soul armaments, Bai Yi already has a plan.
Having the witches conduct research on soul armament carving has been scheduled, and there have been preliminary results proving the potential of Telekinesis for Soul Cutting.
The production steps might be intricate, possibly requiring coordination among multiple witches and spending far more time than creating ordinary magical items to complete.
