Monster Integration

I looked at the door for a moment, before placing both of my hands on it and pressing it further.

The door begins to open, and soon they opened wide. I looked ahead and saw the stable space; a wide smile couldn't help but appear on my face.

I did not waste any time and stepped inside a large white hall. It is completely intact, and the space here is so stable that even Sovereign wouldn't be able to create a ripple inside it.

I looked around the hall, is bare aside from a few art pieces which were placed in strategic places.

I only look at them for a moment before turning into a silvery text in front of me. 'Cloudsor Palace,' written on it.

I don't know what it is and nor do my clones. They read through every word of information and did not find a single text about it.

It did not faze me, instead; it had excited me. It is unknown, and that is building great anticipation in my heart.

I looked around the hall and saw there was nothing other than the artwork. I walked toward the hallway. I will first explore this place before coming back to collect the pieces of art.

The hallway is huge, but there are only doors in it. These doors are big as a white stone door.

They are also made of stone, but each is of a different color. The door in front of me is made of grey, with an emblem of a fiery ring on it.

"Cauldron," I read and white energy released from my hand. A moment later, the energy turned slightly pinkish and the runes on the door became visible to me.

I sat down and closed my eyes, and the next moment; I was at my core.

I stayed there for nearly two hours regular time, before opening my eyes and getting up.

Buzz!

As I got up, the runes came out of me and stuck on the door and a few seconds later, the door buzzed.

I pressed both of my hands on the door and pushed it till it opened. Feeling the space stable, I entered inside and found myself in another huge hall, and in the center of the hall was a green stone disk.

"A cauldron," I said with shock before I moved with my highest speed and appeared beside it.

"Fuck, I can't believe it," I said as I reached the cauldron. It is not a normal cauldron. If I am right, then it is one cauldron of Raan.

There are one hundred and one cauldrons, with each one being more advance than another.

The two floors of the library had few blueprints, and I know how difficult to craft them.

One needs to be an extremely skilled artificer and a minimum of Earth Sovereign to craft the easiest one. I wonder which one this is. I do not mind, even if it is first among the one hundred and one.

It is every alchemist's wet dream.

It is a titan who devised a method to craft them and now I have come across one and I couldn't control my excitement.

It is a fortune of life, and even a half-baked alchemist like me desires it. The one who designs them is no ordinary person. He is said to be the greatest artificer in the world.

He is a titan, a Great Titan.

It took me a while to get control over my excitement before I begin to look around the cauldron. Checking each and everything very carefully, as will help me identify which cauldron it is.

The library had a book that had a way to identify the cauldron. The first twenty-four cauldron.

A little over ten minutes later, I had stopped with my eyes becoming wide and my breath ragged.

It is the No. 5 named song of Sar.

It is crafted expertly as those burst-like patterns formed only when it is crafted correctly. What made it even more amazing, is that is crafted by a Sky Sovereign and above powerhouses.

The first two could be crafted by Earth Sovereign, and the three after that by Sky Sovereign. The one who crafted it is Sky Sovereign or even Prime.

I don't care who crafted it. What I care about is that I have got it. It will help me tremendously with alchemy and also practice. It is not used for alchemy, but also for practice.

"The Song of Sar," I said and energy released from my hand.

Looking at the formation that is binding it to this hall and seeing the formation, my expression couldn't help but turn somber.

It is an extremely complicated formation, more complicated than the door itself, and with a very dangerous trigger.

The people who had it seemed to have been loved too much as if there was the slightest mistake. Then, the formation, which is maintaining this expanded space, would turn off and immediately, the entire space will collapse.

Even the Earth Sovereign would die as they would be at the center of spatial implosion.

The formation is tough, so much so that I do not have any confidence in whether I could solve it. Usually, I have an idea when looking at formation, whether I could solve it or not, but this did not give me any confidence.

It did not matter. What mattered is I had to solve this formation and get this cauldron, no matter the price I need to pay.

So, wasting no time, I had recorded the formation before sitting down and entering my core.

"Merge," I said to three of my clones and three of my clones merged, turning into a prime clone. Now, three people are sitting at the table instead of five, prime clone, clone four, and I.

It had been quite a time since I had used the prime clone. I did not like to use it, fearing I will grow too dependent on it, and dispute it being part of me.

It is one of the irrational fears.

Three of us begin, and in seconds, the prime clone shows its superiority. I did not focus on that, as the formation is more important than my petty emotions.

Now and then, we would get up from our chairs, and bring the book from which the shelves. Within a few hours, piles had accumulated near our chairs, and the table got filled with them. Not even an inch of the table could be seen.

No one cares about that, what matter is solving the formation.

Soon, fourteen hours passed, thirty-eight inside, when I stopped. We have barely scratched the surface of it, but I could not take it anymore.

My head is giving me migraine, not only because of formation but also due to my stomach. I am hungry and it is distracting me.

So, I walked out of the library and into the kitchen I had set up before starting to cook. One and a half an hour later, I finished cooking and brought it out, and ate with Nero and Ashlyn.

For once, she is awake at the time of dinner.

Though she won't be able to remain awake for long. I could already see the sleep in her eyes. I don't know whether she would even be able to finish the meal before falling asleep.
