Monster Integration

I appeared back in my room and fell down on my bed; I did not even have time to take off my shoes before I fell asleep.

I have been awake for days, and then I burned my blood twice in a single day. All of it had made me very tired, and if it were not for my extreme desire to see Marina, I would have directly come home and slept; I really needed it.

I don't know how long I slept, but when I woke up, I felt refreshed. There is only a slight weakness that remains in me, which will disappear in a few hours as the recovery formation inside me keeps working.

I looked at the holowatch and saw it was afternoon; I had slept for more than twelve hours. I lay on the bed for a while before I got up and went to the bathroom; if I had time, I would have stayed on the bed longer but after more than ten days of absence.

I freshened up and showered before walking out of my room.

In the living room, I found my sister playing with her friends under the supervision of a nanny. My father seemed to work in his lap, and mom had once again been sent to the mission.

I played with my sister for an hour while my avatar read through the reports I had received from Marina. These reports are complete, stating the progress of each and every participant in the project, and so far, everything seems to be good.

Though there were some hiccups, they are natural. Such a vast complex project could not run smoothly, hiccups are bound to happen, and it is on us to deal with them.

After spending some time with my sister, I went back to my room and opened the door to the conference room. I took my usual seat and tapped a few buttons on the control panel, and in the next second, tens of screens flashed around me.

Now and then, I would close my eyes and connect the seed inside the subjects to make the further assessment. While the reports are extremely clear, I still like to do my own assessment, so everything can work smoothly.

Two hours passed, and I was finally done with the assessment; I am now completely up to date with what happened in the past twelve days and know what I have to do before I do that; there is some thing I have to do.

If I did not do it, I would not be able to concentrate on my work fully.

I closed my eyes, and a moment later, I appeared in my core, and in front of me was a silvery tome and scroll. I looked at them for a moment before taking a tome in my hands.

The tome is named transcendence of soul, and that being said, it is one of the best books on soul efficiency. I hope it did not disappoint me, I said in my mind and opened the cover to begin to read.

Thud!

Before I knew it, two hours had passed before I stopped myself and closed the tome loudly. The tome begins with simple concepts that even a regular knight would understand, but within an hour of reading, they became so complex that even a knowledgable Grandmasters would have thought for a while before understanding them.

With each page, concepts became complex, and thank god there is a detailed explanation about each concept, but even with it, the knowledgeable ones would find their heads spinning.

The tome is a treasure, and I could already feel the immense help it is going to provide me. It is my luck to meet with the being and obtain such wonderful treasure.

I gently put the tome down and took the purple silver scroll in my hand; the tome had already given me a huge surprise, and I wondered what it had stored inside it.

"Collective Crystalised Minds Formula," I said the headline as I unfurled the scroll. It only has those words written and nothing else in the scrolls.

"It Is Good One, Practice It."

I was searching for a way to bring out the content of the scroll when the voice of an ancient being rang out in my mind, which shocked me, and I looked at the scroll even more clearly.

The ancient being hid in me rarely says something, but when it says it, it is super important.

I looked at it for a few seconds before inserting a tiny bit of energy inside it. I would have inserted more, but I don't want to destroy the scroll accidentally; it is even more important now that the ancient being spoke about it.

As I inserted the energy, the whole text lit up and transformed into millions of runes, so tiny that they could not be seen through the eyes; I even tried my abilities but still could not see them clearly.

Buzz!

A moment after the text transformed into the runes, it buzzed as its activated, and in front of me, a gigantic projection of silver stele materialized. As it did, it froze me for a moment with a faint ancient aura coming from it; it was the majestic, and only time I felt it when the hidden being revealed some of its abilities.

The stele was about a hundred meters long and fifteen meters wide; it was totally silver in color and had bright purple texts carved on it.

Thankfully, the language that is carved on it is universal, and the runes are regular; if it had been ancient runes like the text that transformed into, I could forget about understanding the scroll.

I placed the scroll down carefully before flying up and began reading it, and within a few minutes, my expressions began to change; sometimes, they would become confused, but soon the enlightenment would cloud them.

I read it for more than an hour before I flew back down.

The method is strange as the being had said with many restrictions that even those who could practice would not practice due to restriction, but to me, these restrictions did not matter. It could be said those restrictions that shackle others will empower me.

"I am practicing this method," I said, and I will. It is extremely complex that it will take me months to understand the first level of it. Not to mention the resource required for it; though I have some things that could be used, I feel they are inadequate.

I need something better.
