Monster Integration (Web Novel)

"No wonder you wanted to come with me," I said nearly half an hour after entering the mist valley.

He just glanced at me while I smiled.

I had already guessed it. The moment I stepped inside, but now through the tests, I have become sure.

There is not one grand art in the play here, but five of them. It is not just art, but also the laws that are in work here, which even suppress his advantages.

Normally, it is extremely hard to suppress the power of Grand Art, but it is happening here. Though one would be mistaken to consider him powerless; his art had only weakened, and I am sure he would have a way to lessen the suppression.

He could be said to be at a better advantage than others; just like me.

The only disadvantage he had here is his low level. Still, that does not mean killing him will be easy.

A few minutes passed, and we have come across another marvel.

A ball of dense fiery liquid, big as a house, is floating in the air and releasing immensely powerful heat, that every few seconds, the tiny drops of red-hot liquid would fall down from it.

These drops would fall till they are an inch away from the grass, before moving up in the curse and merging back with a house size ball.

"I would love to get a drop from it," I said, and glance at him, but he just gave me the look and keep walking. I sighed in disappointment as I followed him.

I had not lied; I would have really liked to get my hands on it, which had the power of art and the laws. These things are very precious and hold immense research value. Unfortunately, I am not powerful enough to get it.

Even Earth Sovereigns would think about it hard, before trying to take that drop.

It contains so much energy that it could wipe them out with a mere touch.

It is the place where the Prime's have fought the final battle. Even after hundreds of thousands of years, it still contains the power of their laws and arts, which created such dangerous wonders.

These wonders are everywhere and mostly harmless as long as you stay away from them.

Hundreds of years were enough for them to stabilize.

"Monster coming from the nine o'clock," I said and immediately the mist covered us. The whole place was misty, and now, even when we hide from it, he keeps the mist visible.

The bull monster was small, but it had well-defined muscles, as if it exercises daily for hours.

I have seen thousands of monsters in my life, but never seen one with such muscles as this one. I wanted to capture it and keep it to my core, but the beast is powerful.

It is a Peak Sovereign.

Thankfully, it is more than a mile away and even its soul sense couldn't reach that far. Though, it is still bigger than native and Grimm Peak Sovereigns, who couldn't spread their soul sense for over five hundred meters.

I looked at it with great interest, while Ragas had his expression neutral as if it was the most bland thing for him.

A few minutes later, the Grimm left our range, and we kept moving.

We are moving fast with the aid of Nero; his range is nearly unaffected. Making him a perfect scout who could even spot Earth Sovereign before they spot him; he did, and we hid in the closest hole covered it in the mist.

"Give me a minute," I said to Ragas and slowly move a few hundred meters away, where a Mid-Sovereign Grimm walking among the thick trees.

Fifty meters behind it, without getting discovered, before leaping at it, with full power. To my surprise, it took a little longer to discover me compared to Grimms; I had killed through stealth.

Puch!

It acted immediately, but I was easily able to dodge its attacks and pierced its heart. Freezing it on the spot before taking it inside me.

A moment later, it disappeared in my core, and we resumed our journey.

"You seemed to hate the spawns a lot?" asked Ragas. I wanted to say my world had been infested by them, but it will once again give him the information, which I don't want him to have.

So, instead.

"You don't?" I asked back. "I do, but killing these is a waste of time. They would never reach high enough to be trouble for the universe," he replied.

It couldn't surprise me and made me and made me think deeply.

Perspective.

Environment shape perspective. Where I grow up, every Grimm is dangerous. To him, it is killing the most dangerous that matters; as they pose the greatest danger, not to the world, but to the universe.

So, one could only imagine, at what level, he considered them truly dangerous.

"Every Grimm had potential as every native has. I only need to keep killing them."

"Most would never reach a true height, as you had said, to be truly dangerous to the universe, but we need to keep killing them, as one of them might reach that level to be dangerous,"

"Not to mention, their storages are filled with the resources, and I want them," I said, and he smiled.

The resources I have collected from the Grimms are immense. The repository is getting bigger and bigger with every storage I get and even this I had killed quite a number of resources.

Still, what I had collected was nothing in front of Nero. Over 90% of the stuff repository is gotten from his hunts.

Even he is killing the Grimms.

The Grimm is completely harvested, and growth energy is released from it. It went to the plants, making them produce more resources.

A minute later, a small smile appeared on my face. As once again, the spatial tree matured and the moment my clone plucked the seeds, it turned into dust.

My clone had removed the planting seed from the fruit and buried it while storing the cut friend and complete fruit, which had spatial seeds in the different boxes.

I have been constantly harvesting spatial seeds. Till now, I have finished harvesting six of them. As for why, I am constantly harvesting, despite only needing one.

Because they are extremely precious.

People will pay hundreds of times more for the natural spatial seed and, since I have continued growth energy. I am harvesting them in large numbers; I might need them one day.

Such precious resources are in very high demand and could you do many things.

Hun!

I was thinking about that when Nero showed me something. "In the west of us, a lot of Grimms are gathering," I said before there was not the slightest bit of interest on his face.

"Nothing matters, other than the target," he said and I nodded.

To be honest, I want to check it out, but I will not. As he said, what he wants is most important. Only then I will get what he has, the exits.

I moved us a little away from the gathering of the Grimms; there are over a hundred of them, staring something down; with over nine Peak Sovereigns. It would be terrible if a single one of them had spotted us.

A few minutes later, we come across a contained windstorm, which is moving in a contained space.

It is a work of art, wind moving at speed, that would tear even Peak Sovereign and those wind crystals. I have loved to get my hands on them, but it would be suicide for us to do it.

Though one native is trying to do it. It is a native Earth Sovereign, not the one I had seen entering.

There are many Earth Sovereigns who entered inside before us and entered after. Exit is not the only way for them to gain the information; there are artifacts and powerful methods, which could send back the information from inside.

If they had that, it would give them enough information to make the decision to send more people inside.

It will be good. If they do that; there are too many Grimms here, and even if the organization is bad. It is a hundred times better option than Grimms unless they are traitors.

We passed through the windstorm, and a few minutes later, saw something that had finally made Ragas stop.

A giant sphere made of mist; it is big as a hill and completely white, but inside it, I could see blood-red lightning flashing. Even after three miles away from it, all the hair on my body stood up.

That thing is extremely dangerous; even Earth Sovereign would think hundred times, before anywhere near it.

"That red lightning inside seemed dangerous," I said, and he nodded. "It is. Hosts of that lightning are one of the most dangerous things in the entire universe," he said, before looking away from it.
