The knowledge of my 3rd Innate Exclusive Skill that was transmitted to my mind from awakening was even more detailed than the information shown in the notification tab.

There were still two hours before I could enter the [INVERSE] mode.

However, even if I removed those chains of Origin Energy, Olivia would still be in a near-death state since the majority of her [Innate Talent], the golden sphere, was destroyed.

On top of that, there was a permanent loss in her Stats, and all there left was 3 Stats each in her 5 main Attributes.

With her body condition, she could barely move, much less defend against any monsters.

According to MJ, the size of one's Innate Talent in their Spirit Space determines its Grade.

Within a person's Spirit Space, The size of a Grade-1 Innate Talent would be 10 meters. For Grade-2, it was 100 meters, and for every increment in Grade, the size of the innate talent gets 10 times bigger than that of the previous one.

In the case of Olivia, the golden sphere at the centre of her Spirit Space, which represents her Innate Talent, [SOUL EYES], should have a diameter of 100,000 km, which is nearly 8 times the size of Earth.

However, the golden sphere's diameter has shrunk to the length of a football field (100 meters), and it would now be considered a Grade-2 Innate Talent.

So, even if I remove those chains, she would lose her potential and with how dangerous the Alpha Program is, her death would be an eventuality.

As compensation for MJ's blunder, I decided to grant Olivia a Minor ORIGIN SIGIL. However, for that to happen, Olivia should be willing to accept the sigil.

But the problem was that due to her near-death condition, her consciousness was hidden deep within her subconscious memories.

For that, I need to go into the golden sphere in search of her hidden memory and with the chains of Origin Energy looming over her Innate Talent, trying to disintegrate it, I couldn't move my consciousness into the golden sphere.

Unlike me, MJ could divide his consciousness into several parts because of his racial trait.

So, I sent a part of MJ's consciousness into the depths of Olivia's Innate Talent.

Through MJ's consciousness, I could watch what's happening within the golden sphere.

There were fragments of memories scattered as they floated within the pitch-black space in the form of videos, and MJ went through each of them in search of the memory that her consciousness hid in.

It didn't take long before he found the memory in which Olivia's consciousness was hidden with MJ's processing speed.

As it played out, I was able to tell that her consciousness was stuck in her childhood trauma, which gave her nightmares her whole life.

In that memory, it was Olivia's 5th birthday, and her parents gave her a teddy bear doll as a present, but she protested that she wanted an even bigger teddy bear.

Then another memory scene played out, and it was a year from the previous scene.

The 6-year old Olivia hid in a closet as she cried while holding the teddy bear doll that her parents gave as a birthday present before they died in a car crash.

In the following scene, Olivia's grandma, who brought her up, tried to console her, but she didn't stop blaming herself since the car accident happened when her parents were on their way to bring a new doll at Olivia's insistence.

These three scenes continued to play as a loop, and her consciousness was stuck within her younger self as she went through her trauma over and over again.

Soon, MJ entered that memory loop and his consciousness turned into the 1-year-old baby form as he neared the closet in which the younger Olivia cried.

He tried to open the closet door, but her consciousness didn't allow him to open it.

MJ could forcefully open that closet door by pulling out her consciousness from that memory loop, but that would damage her soul, which was already weakened by the chains of Origin Energy.

Because of that, the only safe way to get her to accept the ORIGIN SIGIL was to make the 6-year old Olivia's consciousness, that doesn't have any of the future memories, accept the sigil.

Standing beside the closet door, MJ explained everything that happened after she went unconscious and emphasized that she was in a near-death state, and her consciousness was hiding in that memory loop.

But her consciousness within that memory loop was not her 25-year self, instead, it was that of the 6-year-old Olivia.

So, listening to something that the younger Olivia couldn't understand, she did not trust MJ and shut the closet door even more than before.

MJ realized that, and after a sigh, he began to share his feelings, "I know that whatever I say now can't rectify the fact that you nearly died because of me. But I will try my best to make up for that. From your memories, I could see that you don't have any siblings; coincidentally, in that aspect, I am the same."

MJ's baby voice continued, "Are you willing to take me as your little brother. Even if you don't accept it, I promise to protect you."

Hearing MJ's words, Olivia opened the closet door and wiped her tears asking MJ with her innocent face, "Can I really be your big sister? Pinky promise?"

MJ cheered and nodded his head. Then, she stepped out of the closet and showed her pinky finger to MJ for the pinky promise.

Once the pinky promise was made, both of them played around with toys for a few minutes.

As they were resting, MJ took out the Major ORIGIN SIGIL that I gave him before entering the memory loop.

When I decided to give her a Major sigil instead of a minor one, MJ was baffled since there are only 10 of them.

But I had my own reason for it and didn't explain it to MJ yet.

When MJ offered the half-moon shaped silver sigil, the 6-year-old Olivia accepted it since she trusted him now.

Then, with a bright silver light, the memory loop ended as both MJ and I were sent out of her Innate Talent into her Spirit Space.

The Origin Energy from the SIGIL repaired all the cracks and fractures that were spread across Olivia's Golden Orb within seconds, and I was able to sense that Olvia regained her true consciousness.

Just like MJ and me, she was also present in her Spirit Space.

MJ approached Olivia's consciousness and explained everything to her in detail.

Unlike her subconsciousness (Younger self), she was able to get a hold of the events that occurred after she lost consciousness from using her [SOUL EYES] ability to control Hobgoblin MJ.

Even though her consciousness had returned to normal, she still had memories of what happened in her memory loop.

So, she remembered what happened in the loop and even forgave MJ for what happened.

Olivia consoled MJ, who was feeling guilty, that it was also her fault for attacking without analysing the situation.

On the other hand, she feared the presence of my consciousness in her Spirit Space.

I could tell that she feared me because she could sense my connection with Origin Energy.

It was the same energy that put her in this position in the first place so it caused her to dread it instinctively.

After that, the Origin Energy engulfed the golden sphere that was only a 100-meters in diameter now, and her Innate Talent started to recover to its original size.

She marvelled as she watched her almost depleted Innate Talent return to normal.

Then, she gathered her courage and thanked me for saving her, but before she could complete her sentence, MJ interrupted, "This is just the beginning, with Master's Major ORIGIN SIGIL, you will gain power that many would give their soul to get."

By the end of his sentence, the golden sphere representing Olivia's Innate Talent, [SOUL EYES], reached the size of a Grade-8 Innate Talent, but it didn't stop there as it continued to increase in size.

The golden sphere's diameter increased further from 100,000 km (62,000 miles) to 1 million km (620,000 miles), the size of a Grade-9 Innate Talent, and it didn't stop increasing until it reached a diameter of 10 million km (6 million miles).

Once her [SOUL EYES] reached the size of a Grade-10 Innate Talent, Olivia was flagstabbered from the notifications that appeared because of the unbelievable event that had transpired right in front of her eyes.

Then I heard and saw a notification that indicated a Trial Galaxy wide announcement.

[#Congratulate 'Olivia' of the Planet 'Earth' for awakening as an Omega-Chosen of the Milky Way Galaxy Tutorial Program!]
