Buzz!

The breakthrough formation buzzed as it covered my whole body and my core started to spin.

Immediately, a large number of essence begin to enter my body. So much that my core had increased the speed of spinning to absorb it as soon as possible.

Unlike the last time, when the process was painful. This time, there wasn’t even the slightest pain.

The formation didn’t only send the energy inside, but also reinforced my body and soul temporally, without harming them.

With that, I am able to send a large amount of energy into my core without straining my body, soul, and core.

My core is absorbing a large number of resources. Which I have carefully picked and processed.  Every resource is suitable for me and has a perfect synergy with my body and soul.

I have spent a large time managing every little thing about my breakthrough.

I need to see how fragile my breakthrough is. Every little thing needs to be perfect and efficient, that will be easy my breakthrough, instead of creating the problems.

For the Sovereign breakthrough, that will happen in the future. I will need to work even harder.

In my current estimate, my chance of succeeding in that breakthrough is around 25%. After I finish with this breakthrough, I will use everything, I have to take my chances of surviving the next breakthrough to 60%.

I shouldn’t be thinking about the next breakthrough when the chances of me succeeding in this breakthrough are 100%.

According to estimates, the chances of me succeeding in this breakthrough are about 80%.

These are, to be honest, are highest among all my breakthroughs since I started the treatments.

Half an hour passed, and my core had absorbed a massive number of essences, but it was far from finished. It had a huge appetite, and I have prepared a massive number of resources for it.

Hun!

A few more minutes passed when I saw a hint of something familiar in my core. 

A tiny blotch of golden brown, which would appear for an instant, before disappearing. I have been noticing them from the start, but I thought, it is from essences I am sending, but it seemed like that might not be the case.

Another source might be sending energy. 

I am not completely sure. It is it’s doing or it simply because of my resources and since my connection with my core was suspended, I couldn’t truly know.

I could only be sure when the breakthrough was finished.

Soon an hour passed, and my core was still absorbing energy. I don’t know how long it would continue; I have a few guesses, but they have gone wrong before.

Not to mention, if that thing sending energy, then I would end sooner. So, it is better for me to just observe.

Hun!

Eight minutes passed when something surprising happened. My core begins to slow down and, with it, its intake of energy.

If I wasn’t sure before, I am right now; about 70% sure, it had sent the energy. If not, then my core would have continued to absorb it, for another half an hour at the least.

My core stopped and the color begin draining from the runes and soon, all of them turned while, before they begin to rearrange themselves.

Some of the runes have gone back to the ring, while new ones came back, but it is less than 1% on my body and it finished within ten seconds.

For a second, there was no change, before the white ring changed the color. Blue, red, and pink colors appeared on the ring and soon, these colors spread into the whole runes.

Once again, the core started to spin, absorbing the massive number of energies from the runes.

These three colors are the colors of the energy cocktail I created for my breakthrough. It is powerful and suitable for me. My core has started absorbing it without any problem.

I watched my core carefully and once again; I begin to see the purple, brown spots appearing on the core.

I am now even more sure the energies are coming from that source.

A smile couldn’t help but appear on my face. Two steps of the breakthrough had been finished and now only two had remained.

In my last breakthrough, these two steps got combined into one and it was dangerous. If I had a choice, I wouldn’t have done it; it is better that they remained separate.

Like before, the color of the runes begins to drain away, and they rearranged themselves.

Though this time, another change had occurred; the runes begin to move away from my body into the air and stopped inches away. 

Buzz!

A second later, magenta runes came out of my body and covered it fully, before activating.

Immediately, massive energy begins to fill my body. It kind of becomes painful, but I bore it.

These energies begin to rapidly merge with my body, but not all of them merged. The majority of them remained out, sticking to my soul and body. 

Five and a half minutes later they are finished and disappeared back into my body, while the breakthrough runes, which were hovering inches away from me, came back and stuck to my body like before.

Buzz!

They buzzed and the last step begin, the consolidation.

In most breakthroughs, it is the safest stage, but in my breakthrough, it is the most dangerous. The tumors-like things and cracks scare the hell out of me.

I have prepared extensively, and I hope they didn’t appear this time, but nothing could be said.

Soon, a layer of solid appeared on my core and the core started to turn solid from the inside.

I didn’t see any tumors or cracks appearing, but they could appear at any moment, and I would be powerless to stop them. 

The only thing I could do was believe in my preparations.

Seconds passed and turned into minutes, and no cracks or tumors appeared before the consolidation finally finished.

I looked at my core and runes released from it and spread into my body. It had become even more world-like; I have never seen a core like mine. 

Even cultists have cores, much different from mine.

Buzz!

The runes spread and my core buzzed, releasing the thick breakthrough energy into the runes, which they realized into my body and immediately.

Immediately, they begin to merge with me, taking the energy, which the magenta runes released earlier. 

I could feel my strength rising rapidly, and all I could do is watched with a grin on my face. I watched with complete focus, noticing every change appearing in me.

Minutes passed and more and more breakthrough energy came into my body and merged with me, till I absorbed the last drop, and everything calmed down.

Though my heart is not calm; it is beating wildly, feeling the roaring power flowing through my veins.

I have completed the breakthrough, formally entering the Peak Level of Primary III.
