Monster Integration (Web Novel)

It took two hours and seventeen minutes for my core to absorb all the resources; more than I had thought.

The resource my core took is also more than I had estimated.

I had thought it might happen. The treatment is expanding the forbidden energy into my body and soul. Which is changing my body, making it work in a way that surprises me.

The effects are still minor, but if I can level up to Sovereign; these effects will begin to show their real power.

The core stopped spinning and for a couple of seconds; it remained as such before finally moving again. As it did, it begin to pull the energy from the breakthrough formation.

The energy is coming from twenty-three different sources.

To be honest, I wanted to make a breakthrough with the energy of the ruin. Which is suicide; Sovereigns would be torn within seconds if they tried that; I think only Earth Sovereign would be capable of doing something like that.

The core moved faster and faster with every second, taking more and more energy.

In a few minutes, it had become quite painful, but I was quite used to the pain and saw it. Watching how energies enter my core and, like the previous big breakthroughs, the satellite begins to take some of the energy.

It is not what I am looking for; I am looking at my body and soul, which is taking a small amount of energy.

Like it did with resources.

Since I got to the core, this would not happen. All the resources and energies first will go into the core, and after the breakthrough; it will release breakthrough energy.

Now my body and soul taking it and they are not absorbing it.

They are at the limit, they could not do that, instead, they are holding it to themselves. As for what they will do and how it will affect my breakthrough; I don't know and couldn't do anything against it.

An hour passed and raging torrents of energy came into me, but those looking from outside will only see glowing runes on my body.

There is no energy, whirlpool, or anything; it is very calm and silent.

It is likely why there is mocking in the Grimms' eyes whenever I looked at it. It is waiting and looking at its expressions; I think it will wait till I am finished with my breakthrough and get out.

I had hurt its pride. When I didn't get killed by its attack. Now, it wants to fix that mistake.

I am not worried about it; I am more worried about my breakthrough and strange things happening during it, but as I had said. There is nothing I could do about it, other than bear it.

I hate being powerless by this; the emotions felt by nearly all people.

The breakthrough means celebration, but it is also the period when one is at their weakest. Many people do it in safe spots, where no one could disturb them; some do it in the company of family and friends.

Those are rare; at this time, people like to be alone. They do not want others to see them at their weakest and do something they couldn't defend against.

Another fifty minutes passed when finally, my core begin to slow down and with it the energy.

A minute later, my core stopped and so had the energy.

My expressions become serious as now, the most difficult part begins. I had just thought that when the brown-green formation covered it covered all the empty space that had remained on my body.

Last time, this had come out at starting, but I had made changes and now, it will third stage of my breakthrough.

As it came out, it started to shine, and I started to feel pain, powerful enough that I needed to grit my teeth. This stage will be short, but extremely painful; I had charged this formation for months and now, it will do what I designed to do it.

It started to release its energies and cells and particles of the soul begin to absorb them; the more they absorb, the more painful it will become.

For the forty-two minutes, the pain lasted, before it started to lessen.

My whole body is drenched, but there is a smile on my face. I could see the Grimms looking at me weirdly, but I do not care.

I passed the first dangerous stage. It had put an extreme strain on my body and soul. There was a very high chance that it would collapse; I do not want that.

The pain stopped, and the formation seeped back into my skin.

A second later, the consolidation begins, and I shuddered. I didn't forget the lumps that appeared on my core; they had scared the hell out of me and this time too; I am scared.

My core had absorbed a lot of essences and energies, and now it had to digest it all. I truly hope no lumps would appear this time.

A few minutes passed, and the consolidation was going smoothly. A solid layer had formed on the core.

Hun!

I was happy when suddenly, one side of the core begin to inflate.

A horror appeared on my face as I saw the thing I had feared most happening. The lump begins to form.

It is cracking the solid layer on the core and expands.

It grew and grew until it become big as the biggest lump appeared on my core last time and still kept growing for a few more seconds. It looked ugly at my core and I want to destroy it.

I bore it and waited with trepidation for others to form.

Hun!

I was waiting when a surprising thing started to happen. The lump, begin to get smaller, instead more lumps appearing beside it and soon, it disappeared, with solid cracks healing.

It is like it had never appeared.

I heaved a sigh of relief, but still watched with cautiousness as minutes passed, but no other lump appeared till the consolidation finished.

I watched my core, and it became more beautiful, more realistic. I wish I could see what had changed, but I couldn't till the breakthrough energy came out and I absorbed it all.

Buzz!

I had thought that when my core buzzed, runes came out like a tired and they spread everywhere.

I had made great changes in this inheritance. I knew the power; I would be able to harness it here and make changes according to it.

Just thinking about it made me excited, and this time, I did not calm myself. I am in a safe zone now. No matter what I do, nothing will affect my breakthrough.

Soon, the inheritance runes spread all over my body.

Buzz!

A moment later, they buzzed and shone as the thick breakthrough energy, released from the core and into runes, before entering my body.

"Ahhhhh…"

I screamed loudly, feeling more pain than I had felt in the third stage. There, I only greeted teeth, here I was screaming as loud as I could.

My cells and soul had absorbed some of the essence and energies. They had also absorbed the fertilized forbidden power that came out from the brown-green formation.

Now, the cells and my soul, using some of strengthening energy to burn it, to god knows what and I couldn't do anything against it. The pain is too much, that I couldn't even think straight.

I just hope whatever is happening is for my benefit; I really don't want to deal with any problem, with Grimms waiting to eat me.

It would feel really bad, after all the pains I took for this breakthrough and feeling this one right now.

Time passed as I continued to feel pain. I am still screaming, as there is no way I would get used to this pain. I just hope it will be over quickly, as I don't think I will be able to bear it for long.

I don't know how long passed when I felt the pain lessening and a couple of seconds later; I stopped screaming.

It took little more than a minute for the pain to stop and another for me to become mentally stable to look at myself.

The first thing I felt was immense strength. So much that I could feel like I could do anything.

It took me a couple of seconds to calm myself and I entered inside my core, where I received an even bigger shock.
