The shaman's soul had remained completely unmoving within Noah's Nexus Eye for a long time now.
The endless void had already erased its consciousness. Every soul Noah had absorbed eventually reached the same fate after enough time passed within the Nexus Eye.
Some, faster than others.
Its sense of self disappeared first. Then, eventually, even the awareness of its own existence faded into nothing.
What remained afterward was usually little more than a hollow spiritual remnant to be used as Noah pleased.
But this soul was different.
Its consciousness had disappeared just like the others. But the emotional attachments that kept it "alive" didn't disappear until its consciousness faded.
The fear, the hatred, and most of all, the despair.
This was the first time Noah had encountered such a thing.
There were souls whose personality traits carried over. Souls like the Ant Queen or the most recent soul, Ethaniel's.
