Hun!

The merging was coming to nearly an end when it suddenly stopped.

I didn’t see any reason; it had just stopped.

Seeing that, my heart couldn’t help but skip a bear. For the past one hour and sixteen minutes, the merging had been going well.

Aside from the increasing pain, there was no other problem, but now it had stopped. 

It immediately made me worried. 

Anyone in my place had been worried because it was a bad sign. Over 40% of the breakthrough failed once the merging stopped mid-way.

As the merging never resumes and they die a painful death.

I may not be able to see or feel much, but I could still tell. It had stopped because of the forbidden power.

Right, I feel like. I shouldn’t have chased the limit in forbidden power and should have kept it at moderate, as some of the books have suggested.

This is enough that forbidden power wouldn’t get erased, but not enough that it will create extreme resistance.

Like it is happening in my case.

The most frustrating thing is, I couldn’t do anything. I could only watch, as my core applied more pressure, and more essence of the grand seal went to resume the merging.

As the seconds passed, my conditions began to get started. I even started to feel the instability in my core.

I am feeling scared, and despair, like I had never felt in my breakthrough, even when those big pores appeared on my core, like I am doing right now.

Hun!

A few seconds passed, and I reached nearly a breaking point when I felt the merging.

It is very tiny, far less than the speed it had been earlier, but it had started, and it didn’t break.

Seconds passed, and slowly, the merging started to pick up the speed again.

Seeing that, I finally felt some relief, but not all. I could feel the condition was delicate. Things could go wrong at any moment.

So, till I finish merging, I won’t take a sigh of relief.

I hope I succeed. Once I did; the next breakthroughs of this stage would be easier. Even with my circumstances, as long as I did everything right, this won’t be this difficult.

Things continued slowly but without any break.

Finally, nearly an hour later, the merging stopped, and it was finished. 

I have succeeded; seeing that, a bright smile couldn’t help but stretch on my face.

I have passed one of the most difficult stages of breakthrough, but it is far from over.

There are still one and a half steps before I succeed and both of them are just as difficult as the merging. The half step coming right next might turn even more dangerous than the merging.

Seconds passed and nothing happened before I noticed the change in the core.

A small part of it begins to inflate, and it is not tumors that are forming, but something expected.

Soon, around 7% part of the core separated from it and moved toward the satellite revolving around it, before touching.

Slowly the blob begins to flow over it, before covering the whole satellite with it.

My satellite is not a common thing. It is a blessing of the world, that extremely few could receive, and the world only gives when it is in danger.

It is part of the world itself, its core.

I am one of the lucky ones in the world who got it and now I am merging it with the part of my very core.

This part contains a huge formation. I had made it even more powerful, thanks to ancient rune links, which could bear the massive load.

While I may have made the formation of powerful. I don’t know how much of its power I will be able to use. I will be more than satisfied if I could use even 50% of it.

As the part of the core covered it; it had started to process to merge itself with it.

I could see the satellite was resisting, but it was nothing if not forceful. Not to mention, my core is providing it with the power to merge with its forcefully.

‘The resistance is much greater than I had thought,’ I thought, seeing the progress.

It is making me worried. It is the only thing I can do; I am powerless to do anything else.

Minutes turned to hours, and the process was still not over. I had not thought it would take more than half an hour, but it really taking longer than I had thought.

Another hour passed, and the process was far from over; it was still happening.

Though 75% of the satellite merged with it, giving me some relief. There is now a 90% chance that I would succeed.

Twenty-seven minutes later; I succeeded, the merger was complete and the third of it separated and returned to the core. 

With part of the satellite in my core, it will be able to control it more effectively. Most importantly, now my core has got a piece of the world core itself; it is going to make it even more powerful.

Both the core and satellite had stabilized, and now it is time for the last step.

The consolidation and, if it went well, then my breakthrough would succeed.

It took a second for it to start and, to my surprise; it is happening quite fast.

It took less than a minute for a solid layer to form on the core and the satellite and, to my delight. The satellite is taking a round shape, like a core.

And will be like a real moon, like how my core is like the real world.

I couldn’t help but feel joy seeing it. It is much better than having it look like a space rock.

Minutes passed, and consolidation continued. I didn’t sense the slightest disturbance or the pores appearing on the surface of my core.

Still, the consolidation hadn’t finished; I wouldn’t say anything before that happened.

Seven more minutes passed and the changes in the core and moon stopped. 

The consolidation is finished. 

The breakthrough is not over, but I have succeeded. From now on, there will be no problem.

I looked at my core, which had become even more planety than before and now it is not only looking like a planet but also feeling like a planet.

A thought had occurred to me and stuck. No matter how much, I tried to push it away, it wouldn’t go.

If that happened, it would be really amazing.

I pushed the thought as far as possible and shifted my focus from the core to the moon.

Unlike the core, which is blue and green. The moon is silvery with brownish spots. The addition of brown made it look like a real moon.

Buzz!

I was staring at it when the core buzzed, and runes began to come out and started spreading into my core.

These runes are even smaller than the past runes, but the space they are occupying is going to be bigger.

The Sovereign inheritance is much bigger than the Primary.

I focused on these runes and saw the fraction of ancient rune formation. I have done something amazing in using them and now I want to see the effect they will bring.
