Monster Integration

I took a slow, but deep breath as I got my head out of the tub, made of dense liquid.

While I have learned to hold my breath for long. It is difficult, especially when I pushed myself harder. Artificially strain my body, to take it where I need it; it saves me hours.

Now, I don’t keep holding my breath for hours to read myself for seven aurora waves.

I could do it within a minute. It is uncomfortable and painful, but worth it seeing I only need to keep holding my breath during the treatment, not before or after.

Buzz!

It took a few minutes for my breath to turn to normal, and when it did. I got out of the tub and sat in the formation beside it before activating it.

I closed my eyes, and a moment later; I am at my core and turned to my clone. It is working on the workshop.

It may look normal since it is doing it daily, but it is not. Today, he will be testing himself. If it succeeded, then I would become a true Grade 4 artificer.

If I were to apply the standard of places I had been. I had become a Grad 4 artificer, weeks ago, but this test is not of that standard or even the highest standard of the prime world.

No, this test is of realms standards, the highest ones.

A success and it would become a Grade 4 artificer; I would be a Grade 4 artificer. There is no difference between it and me since we are the same.

I had practiced a few times and produced the same result with variation, which was a not defect, but style variation. My clones maybe me, but they are clones. They don’t have feelings or other things.

Which makes them best at what they do and there is a conflict with the core, which is me.

I hope it succeeds and there is a good chance it will. Once it is done, I am going to make it work on my breakthrough formation.

It is not efficient; I have used many resources on it. Precious resources, like bubbling tar soil. It also has some part of the resources; I have used in the native world.

I want to reforge it, so it would show all its powers. I also want to add a thing. If I succeeded, it would make things quite easy.

I summoned the chair and sat down before a nook appeared in my hand. I begin to read it; I didn’t have to watch what it was doing. I could feel what it was doing, and it is imprinted on my mind, every moment.

It is happening with all my clones.

An hour passed and then another, when I finally closed the book and turned to watch my clone.

The test on which it had been working for six and a half days was coming to an end. While I could feel what it is doing, which is much better than watching. Still, I decided to watch.

It had made all the pieces, and now it is connecting them together, which is the task itself. 

I wanted to join him, but I didn’t. Since it had done it from the beginning, I decided to let it finish it.

Minutes passed, and finally, my clone had connected with the last piece. 

The thing is a perfect square of red and green. It looked like it was made of metal, wood, and stone. 

All those things have been used in the making and a few others.

It finished crafting it and now, only one thing remained. Which is to test it; if it had passed all the parameters, then I will become a Grade 4 artificer.

Buzz!

I looked at the beautiful house before entering inside it.

Yes, my clone had crafted an abode, and from the looks of it. It is a damn good one. From what I could see, it had passed the test. I could see there was no flaw in it; it is better than most of the Grade 4 abodes I have.

I have many of them in my core; more than I know what to do with them.

I have also collected quite a few spatial abodes. It is easier to get them when you fight against the Peak Sovereign; those bastards are rich.

I have gotten an insane number of resources from them.

This place had really given me a lot. So much that I won’t need to be worried about the resources for a long quite a while. 

This is great once I got out. I will be able to focus on inheritance only.

A few minutes later, I opened my eyes and got out of the formation, and went to my room for a shower. Fifteen minutes later, I walked out, and changed into comfortable clothes, before stepping into the kitchen.

I made myself a meal and ate it alone since Nero is outside.

Once I sleep for four hours, before waking up, but I didn’t get out of bed. I have two hours before I have to leave, and treatments couldn’t be done in this short time.

I have designed the treatments in a such way; I need them with sets. Only then, they will work.

The increased strength had brought many benefits, but there is also some drawback.

Like, I could stay long in the night and get out early. Which took hours from my time, that I could only practice treatment once and that of forbidden power and not strengthening ones.

I could only practice twice when the nights are long. Today is not that day.

I closed my eyes again and entered my core. There my clone is already standing in front of the large white table. It is big that even Grimm could comfortably sleep on it.

It is a song of Sar, and it is mainly an alchemical tool; it could also be used for the artifice.

It is not good as it is alchemy, but it is the best artificer artifact I have. Others I have been at a much lower level.

“Let’s begin,” I said as I appeared at my core a moment later. A small multicolor crystalline ball appeared in front of us.

My breakthrough formation. I am going to reforge it. It will be a costly process and going to take a lot of time and while I am doing that, I won’t be able to use it.

Not that I could make a breakthrough quickly. 

I am making progress, but it would take time. I wouldn’t be able to make a breakthrough before I leave this place, and this should finish around that time.

I think a month inside should be enough to reforge it and add a few new abilities.

“Unravel,” I said gently, and the entire sphere begin to unravel rune by rune. Within a minute, its runes have covered the whole table.

“Let’s begin,” I said and begin with my clone.
