"I can't say I have never had such a desire, " HAO said cunningly. HAO's answer had not brought much response.
"However, you don't really think I am and was so stupid that I really believed that I could eliminate human beings, do you? " HAO giggled shamelessly, and swallowed the last one of Anna's rice dumplings. "Well then, it's time to continue with the story."
HAO paused for a moment and spoke, "I couldn't believe it when I discovered that the body I have longed for so long was one of a pair of identical twins. Moreover, I could not believe myself when I discovered that this is going to be a both-side-win situation."
"Heh? " Ryu couldn not believe his own ears.
"Five hundred ears ago, my dream still could not be understood by most people. Due to the horrible experience 1000 years ago, I didn't tell my dream to anybody. When I know that that Asakura bastard from Japan was spreading the rumor that I wanted to eliminate human beings so to build a world with only shamans, it was already too late... I had tried my best to explain, but may be being one of the 10 druids made me look very suspicious, and that Asakura Yohken did really give people a very good impression, no one believed in the truth... Is it true that for most people, shamans aren't human beings? With extreme sadness and a tiny hope, I started preparing for my second reincarnation, " spoke HAO.
HAO looked around, and asked, "Don't tell me you guys really think that a baby just born could have the power I had when I was born, just by the work of genes. "
"At the beginning, I thought Yoh's body was better, and therefore starting from the fourth week after fertilization, I started working on his brain to transfer my character and wisdom to him. It was until we were 5 months old that I discovered that the fetus I chose was going to be the second one to be born, and if I did nothing, both of us would be killed definitely -- the body of a fetus and the body of a just-born baby was physically very different, and therefore their powers were very different too -- the unborn me wouldn't have enough power to protect the other half who would be born first, and the physical changes of my body when I was born would let me to have weak points, slight but enough for me to be killed because they would be sure that the second one was definitely me after they killed the first one and found that they had killed an innocent baby. Therefore I was forced to change my choice when half of the work was done. "
HAO considerately gave his audience 10 seconds of silence to digest his speech, then said, "Luckily the body of this elder brother also had got spiritual sight, and therefore the rate of transfer was sufficient for me to complete the baptism process before birth, and got back the Spirit of Fire which I got in the last life, so that people would think that I hadn't become the Shaman King and therefore enthusiastically joined the Shaman Fight. To me, 'getting back the better half' was my motive to join the Shaman Fight."
"But you were already the Shaman King. Why were you so concerned about getting back Yoh's body? Don't tell me... " Ren asked.
Obviously HAO had known what Ren was thinking, and therefore didn't wait till Ren completed his sentence and said, "Soon you will understand. At the beginning I really was only interested in Yoh's body, and tried to find a chance to secretly exchange my body with his."
The group was disgusted and looked at HAO unfriendly. HAO waved his hand mindlessly and gave a helpless smile, "I thought Yoh would enter the Chou.Senjiryakketsu alone, so that I could carry out my plan of body exchanging there. I didn't expect Yoh to bring all of his shaman friends into it..."
HAO gave a look of question to Anna and continued, "Because of that 1000-year-old rumor, I was sure that Yoh would participate in the Shaman Fight, and therefore had to learn the techniques of Chou.Senjiryakketsu, and therefore didn't pay any attention to Yoh's situation. The first time I met Yoh, I was proud and jealous of the fact that it seemed that Yoh was very welcomed by others. As I wanted to make sure that Yoh would manage to survive before he touched Chou.Senjiryakketsu, I didn't remove the wisdom which had accumulated for 1000 years which had been transferred to him."
The group listened with such an intense concentration that they had nearly stopped breathing. They had heard too much complicated things today. The digestion process had already spent all of their brain power, so that they could not produce their usual noisy fuss that would usually occur when they hear some unexpected news.
