This was what Finn had feared. He had succeeded in forcing them to open up to him, but now faced the barrage of their wills.
Yet he did not have enough time to calmly force a reasonable soul debt. And they could sense that.
In his time with Isis, he had learned that by instinct, chaotic soul masses always demanded a total corrosion of the Ossuarist body during every assimilation. The resultant soul debt at the end was simply the compromise forced by the Ossuarist to lower that risk.
But Finn had no time to lower the total corrosion the soul masses demanded. At most he could force some minor changes that would prevent a total corrosion from the onset.
But there was no mistaking the fact that he was coming out of this with a terrible deal.
To minimize the risk, Finn quickly locked onto the single soul mass that felt the least chaotic, hoping that could help him at least enforce some of his will in the short few seconds that were left.
