Monster Integration - Chapter 3971: Drink of Gods
“The soreness in the soul is easing rapidly; the only problem is the changes made by the mist,”
“Lord Iloh had said, they won’t be a problem. So, I should say, you are clear,” said the woman with icy-blue horns.
“Thank you, healer Akris,” I said feeling relieved.
It had been three weeks since I had returned to the organization.
Since then, there hasn’t been a single day passed by, where I didn’t go through the probing of Prime or any device. I had got tired of it and wanted to stop.
“Though I would say, keep an eye on your soul. If you notice something, inform me immediately,” she added.
“Don’t worry, Prime Akris. I will keep a tight eye on my soul,” I replied to the woman.
“Good luck, Micheal, and do think about the offer,” she said, looking expectantly. “I will,” I replied.
“Thank you for everything, Prime,” I thanked and bowed before walking out of her office.
Buzz!
I had just taken a few steps out of the office when I badge buzzed. I immediately opened the message and when I read it, a big smile appeared on my face.
They have unblocked my access and nearly all the restrictions.
However, for two weeks, I won’t be able to accept any missions or get out of the organization.
It is for my own benefit; it will take two more weeks for the soreness in my soul to be healed.
I came out of the building with a big smile on my face.
Now, that the tests are over and access has returned, I am feeling quite relieved.
Though, I know, they will keep an extra eye on me due to the changes. It didn’t affect me much as in organization, I always behave like someone is watching me.
I immediately made use of my access in buying a few things, that were restricted to me before.
I need them for experiments and new formulas for the methods, I am working on.
In these three weeks, I did nothing, but study after I was done with tests. I have gained so much knowledge about the soul, that I hadn’t gained in a year.
My knowledge of the space had also deepened.
The egg is a massive library of space. It is vast and complex and if I didn’t have a prior familiarity with space, I wouldn’t have the tools to even read.
I am barely able to scratch the surface of it, but what I am able to gain is truly amazing.
I have also made good progress on my inheritance. Especially the soul formations, which I begin to work on heavily thanks to new knowledge, I am getting.
I am not a soul practitioner, but I have a powerful soul and am proud of it.
The things had shattered that confidence.
I still remember the smiling faces of people, while their souls got torn.
The only reason, I was safe was because of the being. I don’t want to depend on the being when I come across such things again.
I want to defend against them with my own power.
However, I know me expecting to defend against things was unrealistic given the difference in our power.
I am not trying to bridge the difference.
I know it is impossible, even with the forbidden power, but I want to create defenses, that nobody of the same power as me is able to breach, no matter how powerful they are.
I want to have create powerful defenses, I have against the energies.
It won’t be easy and will take a lot of time, but I will be able to achieve it eventually as long as I start walking toward it today.
Fortunately, I had already started a few weeks ago.
Click!
Soon, I reached my building and entered my suite a minute later.
I had been offered an even better place than it, but I didn’t want to change and this time, I had straight up told them, I was changing my place.
Last time, it didn’t work, but this time it did.
The Sky Sovereigns have greater autonomy. Especially seeds like me.
Still, I continue to receive a message about it every week. Which I cannot stop.
I freshened up and began to cook myself a lunch.
Since I had dedicated a clone to the culinary, my culinary skills had taken a jump. I had also started learning a lot of new recipes.
Nearly every recipe, I cook is new.
There are a lot of them to try, even after cooking thrice a day. I wasn’t able to try them all.
I might have, if I continued to cook, in the Avros, but I didn’t.
Little more than an hour later, I was finished and set up a table, before eating alone.
There is no one. I had a few friends, but I didn’t disturb them. Especially when I had already invited them to my birthday, which is in four days.
Hun!
I finished dinner and washing the dishes, when I suddenly stopped and closed my eyes.
I appeared in my core, before walking underground immediately.
There I saw the barrel, which had been absorbing the energies high, but steady pace had accelerated the absorption.
It has already reached three times, that of before and increasing.
Heavy smoke is coming out of the barrel as it absorbed the energy and its density increased with the pace of the barrel’s absorption of energy.
Hun!
I looked inside and was shocked by the changes that were happening in the mead.
I have brewed hundreds of types of liquors over the years, but this is the strangest one. I had studied the simple recipe, which is not simple at all.
I had given it quite a time and despite that, wasn’t able to understand, more than a surface.
Hun!
The one thing, I am sure about. The one who created the recipe is not a normal person.
The understanding of things seemed to be beyond Prime’s. It could be a Silver Prime or above; I am not sure.
I might be when I unravel its mysteries, but that is going to take time.
Seconds passed and the pace kept increasing, till it stabilized at eleven and a half.
There are thousands of crystals around the barrel, and it absorbs the energies from a seventeen. Only three were part of the original recipe.
A minute passed and turned to that hour, but it continued.
Usually, I would have walked away, but the process happening inside the barren fascinated me. So, I watched it carefully.
It was past two and a half hours before finally, the process slowed down.
It took over half an hour before it finally stopped. I mean, really stopped, the mead is finally finished crafting.
However, if I am seeing it right. I don’t think, it could be called a mead or even wine.
There is a special word for it. It is scarcely used, because the conditions are so tough.
Many think it couldn’t be made in Sky Grade.
It usually only found Prime Grade, whenever it is found. The Prime fought to death for it, which seemed preposterous, but not, given how valuable it is.
It is nectar.
The drink of gods. That I had unknowingly ended up crafting.
