Monster Integration

“I have never said, but thank you for saving me,” she said as she sat in front of me. 

She had been silent for several minutes before speaking those words.

“There is nothing to thank me for. I did it as much for me as I did it for you,” I replied. It surprised and then confused her, and she looked at me without question, but I just smiled.

It had been more than a year; one and a half since I had come to this world and done little healing.

I missed it and felt my skills going rusty. While I don’t wish for others to get injured and heal them, I miss it. Especially the challenging situations.

This is a challenging situation; unlike the normal situation here, healing them wasn’t much of a challenge, but recovering them to their health would be. 

Unfortunately, I am not going to be with them, but I will make enough preparation, that even the worse affected would make a full recovery.

It will take time, years, but they will be able to do it.

“You should go back to the tub. The longer you stay here, the more recovery you will make,” he said to her. She nodded a moment later and gently got off the stool before walking away.

I had covered her with my energy. She is weak and her powers are sealed; they needed to be sealed for the recovery.

It is not a strong seal. I had designed it in such a way that she could break it for a moment’s notice. It is with everyone. They have complete freedom here. If they wished to leave, they could leave.

Though it would be hard for them to survive; even for a girl with the luminescent skin, who is least injured.

Even the strongest of them and the least injured would need at least a week before they become strong enough to go out.

The parasites had done something nasty. They had sucked their essences, turning some of them into mere husks. The worse affected would take years to recover to their peak.

A little more than half an hour passed, and I finished. I started adding food to the places.

I have cooked twenty-seven types of food. While the food is made of a thing that every species could eat, at least digest; They wouldn’t affect the same to everyone. 

Soon, all the one hundred and sixty-two places are filled, and I took them to the patient.

“Lunch everyone,” I said as I woke them through the formation, before sending the plates to them, through their privacy screen and activating another formation.

This one will be given them a temporary boost in strength. Enough that some of them would be able to move their limbs to eat dinner.

“Eat slowly,” I said.

Not a single one rejected the food, and many started to eat ravenously. They hadn’t eaten for months. So, one could imagine their hunger for food.

“Can I have a second?” asked a stone-skin woman. “No, the portion is perfect for you; your body won’t be able to handle more,” I replied, and could see the disappointment flashing in front of her eyes.

A few minutes later, I collected the places and came back to the kitchen, where I served myself a meal, before laying on the couch.

A few hours passed, and I checked on the patient before taking a nap myself and when I woke up. There was a smile on my face.

Nero had reached the city and now, the most important part of the job. It is complex and dangerous, but I have complete confidence in Nero that he will be able to do it.

If executed well. These people would be safe, and they might help them recover, due to the public pressure.

Power is not everything. While you could dominate the public, the public also has power. The most important of them all is providing the seeds for their organization.

If the organization’s reputations took a heat; they suffer consequences. Especially related to the forbidden things.

As it could not bring pressure from the public, but also from another terrifying entity. 

I once again entered my core and looked at the meta-scan of one and sixty-two people. They are active, recording every change appearing in their bodies.

I have my strings on them; it is little straining since I had spread around them and created a formation.

The little strain I could bear when I get a live detail and mage adjustment in the formation covering them. Earlier, I had needed to make a lot of changes, but in the past four hours, only one.

It means I am on the right path. 

I checked all the meta-scans before turning to the library and working on my inheritance for a few hours.

I didn’t get out and instead walked out of the library and looked at my clone, which was practicing alchemy. In the few months, I have put a little less focus on alchemy, and I want to change that.

I also need to focus on the artificing. It is imprinted on me, which means I would need to practice it and it will be mine, but I couldn’t spare two clones.

So, I decided that for seven days, four and a half of which will be for alchemy and two and a half of it will be artifice. I might make the adjustment, seeing how it goes.

I need to keep progressing on the alchemy; it had become vital for me. Thankfully, I have collected enough resources that my clones could keep practicing for years.

I looked around for a few minutes, especially the plants. They have filled the whole island.

So much so that I had to have that green building floating in the sky. There is no space. I have used what I have to grow the plants.

Everywhere one looks, one will interconnect invisible domes. Creating an artificial environment. The plant needs an unfamiliar environment, fertilizers, and supplements.

Alchemy is helping a lot in that.

I also streamlined the process further. Like I had streamlines, planting, and harvesting. I have also decided to streamline this artificial environment.

I am going to add it to my inheritance. 

Though designing such a vast formation would be a great task, I will have time. After I reach the Peak of Primary III; the only task I have will be focusing my everything on the Sovereign inheritance.

I am going to spend a lot of time on it.

Unlike all the inheritances I had created, and breakthroughs I have made. The inheritance and breakthrough of the Sovereign Stage is going to be the most important.

I am going to get a lot of my old abilities back and will also be able to get new ones. 

There will also be changes in my core and not to mention the power. With it, I will be able to go to the more dangerous areas, where are big-grown opportunities.

I already know where I have to go, but before that, I have to become a Sovereign and that is going to take time.
