Monster Integration



Buzz!

A complex formation activated and breached the consciousness wall and enveloped it.

I watched the slime shudder, but the projection of data remained unchanged. Such a change would have instantly alerted two sovereigns, but they remained oblivious to it.

There is an illusion around the slime that those two couldn't see through.

I watched the formation tearing through the consciousness of the slime and with thin a second, covering it fully.

Slowly, the shaking of the slime slowed down, till it had stopped.

It had been three and a half months since I had been here, and one thing had become clear. These slimes couldn't be tamed conventionally; they have bred this way.

They don't have the things they need to be tamed.

So, I decided to use the formation to control it; whether I would be able to do it, I would know in the next couple of minutes.

I took a deep breath and began to control the formation.

The first command is simple; I made it jiggle, and it did. I controlled the direction, and it did as I commanded through the formation.

I performed more than a hundred commands and each and every one of them was performed with complete accuracy. There is not a single fault I was able to find.

Seeing that, I moved to the real stuff; the tentacles.

This time, I am a lot more careful; the slightest mistake and I could mess up the whole thing, but like its body, the tentacles have moved as I had expected them to be.

I performed command after command and with every command; it did as I had expected.

I had only stopped when the Earth Sovereign came and removed the illusion.

I hid inside my core and looked at the data from an experiment.

Yes, it was an experiment as I had not cast the formation on my slime. Of course, I wouldn't do something like that, when there are so many people around me.

However, I am not as cruel as these cultist bastards.

I had chosen the person who had given up. He is nearly brain-dead and in a coma, through which he is unlikely to wake up.

He is not the only one, there are several who are similar state as him.

There is one thing common among them; all of them have been here for a century or more. 

Which is a long time.

People could keep hope for a month, year, or even a decade, but keeping hope for a century is hard. Especially when you are frozen in place and alone, without anyone to talk to or anything to do.

However, there are some people who are still in fighting for survival, even after a century.

Their future is bleak, even after they are saved, but they are still fighting.

For two and a half days, I have studied the data from the controlled slime. Refined the formation further, making it better.

Buzz!

So, when the Earth Sovereign left; I activated the formation again and this time, there was barely a shake before the formation spread into its consciousness.

I began to test the control, and the result was even better than the other slime I am controlling.

It couldn't make me ecstatic.

Buzz!

With the slime in control, I brought out another formation and activated it and it took a couple of seconds before the formation seal got in my control.

It was the easiest one.

I didn't remove the seal; I got it under my control. If they checked, they would see that the seal is still covering me, just like Sky-Sovereigns power is still blocking my veins.

It is not. The forbidden power is faking it.

I took a deep breath and controlled the veins. They moved as I wished them and slowly; I felt my power coming back before finally; it became free of any restrictions.

I want to scream loudly and blast my power, but it is sure a way to let these cultists know what happened.

I controlled my emotions and focused on the tasks at hand.

I have removed the seals, and now I have to replenish my lost essence and take my body and soul to limit in forbidden power and strength.

Thankfully, I have found a way to deal with all three problems.

Three and a half months is a lot of time to find a solution to things. When you have decades of data in hand and healing knowledge, very few could compare with the library, which has nearly everything.

I have to do something risky again and I have to do it with my slime; I couldn't test it with others.

I decided and began to act immediately; the first thing I did was to divert the resources coming into the slime directly into my core.

I don't want resources entering my body from outside.

Once I did it; I began to change the tentacle; it is not a painless process. 

Especially when I am moving the tentacles so fast. If I go slow, I might be doing it without any pain, but I don't want to waste any time on a simple pain.

Seven minutes and thirteen seconds later, the veins moved where I needed them to.

Seeing a formation came out of my core and started to spread across the veins, covering them fully in two and a half minutes.

Buzz!

I didn't waste time, activated the formation inside my core, and the one covering the veins at the same time.

The formation inside the core released the energies into the tentacles, and they began to spread into my body. 

Leveraging their special abilities, which these slimes are bred for, and these abilities are amplified by the formation covering them.

Ehhh…

I grit my teeth as hard as it started.

It is painful, more painful than I thought; the microscopic needles from these tentacles begin to send the energies into very cells and soul particles, in a particular way.

I watched the process for any adverse reaction, but there was none, and I couldn't help but take a sigh in relief.

Though there is no reaction, there are freaky things happening to my body and soul faster than I had thought.

The energy I had sent to my body was common. 

The biggest ingredient inside it is my own true essence, which I had mixed with the sap of a necrotic tree and other precious resources.

I want this solution to not only replenish my true essence, but also create more.

The extra true essence is not a good thing, but when it is being extracted. It would balance out things.

Though it needs to work and currently, there is no adverse reaction.

As for when will I know whether it will work or not, I will know in around two days, and till then, the formation needs to keep working.

A few hours passed, and Earth Sovereign returned. Like every day, he begins his work. 

I continued without any fear; the projection showed what he needed to see even if he used the soul's sense. As he does once a week, randomly, he will not find anything strange.
