Monster Integration (Web Novel)

It had been a day since I woke up in the cult facility and I have realized how deep in double I am.

They have me sealed in three layers; forget me. If a Sky Sovereign had been in my place, even they would have had a hard time, getting out of the predicament.

These people are very powerful, with incredible resources and knowledge in their hands.

They have created a facility that could extract the true essence and also process it.

So, anyone can use it without any problem.

A day was enough for me to see the core of the slime connected to my chest. Doesn't only extract the soul's true essence from me, but also processes it, which is as hard as extracting it.

This slime that I am under is not a true monster, but something they have created.

My clone had looked at things and what little data I had been able to gather. I was able to make a conclusion, that slime is something they have made for this purpose.

They seemed to have done it thousands of years ago, as it seemed very stable.

Though, I will need more data, to be sure of that fact.

Not everything, there is one good news: a sort of good news.

This place I am in is not in a world, but a realm. It took me some time to find it out, as till now I have refrained from using a forbidden power.

I want to be completely sure before I use it, and I am right now, or sort of sure.

There are a lot of things I am uncertain about here.

I will become certain after I use the forbidden power. To be honest, I don't want to take the risk, but I need to.

Once they get my true essence, they will know many of my secrets. My true level and even forbidden power, if someone is among them, looks too deeply.

From what I noticed; it will take around eight to nine days for it to harness the drop of true essence.

It might seem low, but it is not; the body has less than a hundred drops of true essence. If they go too fast, they will drain the body.

They move in a balanced way; they harvest the true essence, and at the same time, send resources into the body. By doing that, they replenish the body, and at the same time, they extract the true essence.

This way, they could do it for decades and centuries.

I take a calming breath before releasing the forbidden power in the soul element. It came out faintly, before slowly spreading into my body; into the tentacles which are covering every part of me.

If I had been using a soul sense right now; I would have been discovered by those seals.

Hell, its tentacles would have absorbed it.

They couldn't do that forbidden power, as they couldn't sense it. One couldn't discover a thing, which they couldn't even sense.

Soon, my forbidden power spread into every part of me, and the meta-scan became ten times clearer.

Usually, I don't need to scan everything or use forbidden powers to know what is happening to my body in absolute clarity, but they have suppressed everything in my body and soul.

If not for my core, being special, I wouldn't have been able to see what I had been seeing.

Now, with the forbidden power, everything had become clear.

I looked at the meta-scan and what those tentacles and core were doing to me in more detail. The more I looked, the worse my expression would become, but there was also a hint of amazement in that horror.

I have to give it to those cultists; they have really some something shocking.

The slime is a work is art; the resources it is sending into my body and soul. Making it absorb quickly and more efficiently, I have never seen something like this.

I take back my earlier conclusion.

If what I am seeing is right, then these cultists could continue to harvest the true essence, not for decades, but for centuries.

Even after they have done with it, the person remains a valuable resource. Though, I will have to look at older subjects to be sure of what I am thinking.

Time passed as I moved the soul sense into every inch of me, before started scanning the tentacles more deeply. The deeper I go, the more amazed and horrified I would become.

It took over three hours before I was finished, and I slowly moved the forbidden power out of my body gently.

I know it will not sense to me, but I want to remain careful. I don't want to make a mistake in my carelessness.

Within a few minutes, the forbidden power has covered the whole slime and, like all the slimes. It didn't have a particular shape; it could meld into whatever it wanted.

Like my body, I begin to scan the slime deeply, and with every scan; its meta-scan in my core becomes more detailed.

Finally, I got the detailed meta-scan of the slime. I could be able to get the scan even more detailed, but I have to use the formation.

I will do that, but not now. What I have currently is enough for purposes right now.

My clones studied the scan with me and, as I concluded before; this slime is especially bred for specific purposes. They have wiped away its every instinct, except for what they need.

They must have needed thousands of years and countless resources to get something like this.

I am not surprised; the cult that kidnapped me is really powerful and old. Only will dare to do what they are doing.

I let my clones study the meta-scan, while I turned my focus on outside.

I am going to spread the forbidden power out. It is going to be extremely dangerous, but I need to know my surroundings and people working here.

It is risky, but I know it will be only Earth Sovereign at max. The ruin they have created this facility in is an Earth Sovereign-grade ruin.

So, if I am careful enough; I won't get discovered.

The soul sense spread, and within a second, it touched another slime, which was in a metal pool, with pipes connected like the slime containing me.

Hun!

My soul sense went inside and immediately, I couldn't help but become surprised.

The person inside is familiar; he is one of the Sovereign, that came out through the Ibun gate, but unlike me, he had decided to stay in the city.

He had accepted an invitation from the Governor's man.

If he really stayed, means the cultist bastards have gone after the city.

Which is quite daring of them.

It will bring the wrath of the city and organization it belongs to and also of the realm.

My soul sense moved in all directions and to my right, I saw a completely unfamiliar person. Though, scanning his body and soul, I know he is as recent as us.

There is a high chance. He also came from the gate.
