Inside the facilities laboratory.
Manasi could be seen sitting in the chair. His hand is limped down, while his eyes are closed tight.
Manasi is mumbling something, as if having a hallucination.
Suddenly, he was jolted awake. Covered in sweat, he raised his head and looked around in confusion.
As if remembering something, memories start to appear in his mind, about how he was forced into a corner by that homunculus beast and the heavy injuries that he received.
As the memories continued to flow inside his head, Manasi raised his hand to hold his head while gritting his teeth to endure the pain.
It took him a couple of minutes to adjust himself, not even realizing that his cold sweat was dripping from his forehead.
He mumbled something.
"So that's what happened."
Only now did Manasi realize how dangerous the situation was.
Just a single lapse of judgment would result in his death. Had the homunculus Beast Tiger struck at him, without the help of [Guide], he wouldn't be able to react before his life was taken.
If the system did not use the guide to its fullest. He would be dead for sure, and "death" would be happy to torment his soul.
Besides feeling worried, he also felt excited. Who would have thought of facing a monster with a rank of A or B, with his ordinary strength?
All through, he did not see the stats of the homunculus beast since the fight.
He is thankful for the spirit system, as it always guides him in every decision he makes.
Manasi suddenly touched his left hand. He felt strange when his right hand made contact. He felt as if it was not his arm, but he could fully control it. He just felt that something was added.
He knew that the system had used the power of the star crystal on his left hand to absorb the Homunculus beast's lower part. That is the only way to restore him.
But still, he was confused.
'Didn't the system say that he wouldn't interfere or control me without authorization, that every choice that I made, I would have to face the consequences?'
As if hearing Manasi's thoughts, the system suddenly sends a message.
'Contractor, when your life is in danger, the spirit system will directly take control if necessary, but if the situation is beyond the spirit system's capability, it will not. The spirit system can only say BYE, BYE Contractor.' Spirit System
'...' Manasi
Manasi then ignored the system and motioned his fingers in a gripping manner. He then clenched his left hand into a fist.
He felt power in his hand. His hand became the color of red. The veins inside his left hand became deep blue.
It's like a blue liquid is trapped inside his veins. As it appeared, his arms were covered by a red aura.
"Wow! "It looks very cool," Manasi thought, as his left arm looked awesome.
"Spirit System, Open my stats for me"
'Affirmative. Contractor''
Statistics
[Name: Manasi Shalom] [Species: Human] [State: Healthy/Calm][Rank: D-Apex-Tier ] [Battle Power: 95] [Elements: None ] [Aptitude: Combat Specialist] [Physique: Mutated arm-Abnormal Energy Manipulation, Abnormal Energy Devourer][Additional Information: Hiding]Manasi did not know what "other details" meant and why they were hidden. But he knew that opening it would require the Spirit System's energy.
However...
Before Manasi's eyes... [0000/1000] Energy System.
Without even asking, he knew that the system had used all of its energy when merging the star crystal with his arm.
"Hey, Spirit System, what should we do next? Where can we find the energy?" If Manasi did not find the necessary energy to return to earth, he would be stuck in here forever.
"That's a scary thought. I don't even know how many days I have been here, with no more food and water!"
'Gulped' as I'll be dead if I don't find energy for the Spirit System.
'Contractor, there is a battle happening between the homunculus and an abyssal Abaddon at the entrance of the underground city. If you manage to absorb some of their energy, it would suffice to [Teleport] back to earth.' Spirit system.
'How am I going to face them?' Manasi thought while sighing in frustration.
'I could only try my best then.'
"So I have to participate in those battles.....I'm familiar with the homunculus, but what about the Abyssal Abaddons? I found their names quite familiar... Abyssal Abaddon sounds like a monster from hell, ahh! I know the bible book of revelation." Manasi said, while realization hit him.
'Why would there be an abyssal Abaddon in the bible?' Manasi then slowly stood up while thinking.
"So I have to absorb some of their energy then." Manasi said with consideration.
'Yes, contractor.' Spirit System
Then Manasi observes his surroundings, 'the Orb is still in the lab, but the tube that contains the hadem contract beast is gone...'
He then becomes extremely vigilant.
'Contractor, there has been no contract beast inside the lab since I arrived, and the tube containing the contract beast has long since broken, considering it is full of dust. You do not have to worry.' Spirit System.
Only now did Manasi realize that the tube was quite dusty. The Spirit System should already have scanned the surroundings for any danger.
Then Manasi sighs in relief, while slowly walking toward the orb that contains Sage Hadem's daughter. When Manasi stood before the orb, it was covered in dust.
"It's too blurry."
Manasi touched the corners of the orb to find an opener when he finally found it. He slowly opened the glass cover.
Finally, he could see her face, but he was quite stunned. His eyes widen.
Before Manasi's very own eyes, an almost perfect beauty, she's like a piece of art.
'It was a pleasure to see her flowing, Ocean Shappire-blue hair. When I came closer, I noticed her scrolled ears and her elegant nose. Her Amazonian figure sat well on her wafer-thin body.' He thought.
"Unbelievable" Even though Manasi knew that she was not human, he would still be tempted.
'I'm just being a real man. I'm a healthy, hot-blooded youth. The girl looks like she might be 19 years old, but maybe older. I'm not sure about the Sage race's age. She's wearing a moon-light gothic.'
Manasi was considering how to wake her up.
'Creek'
"?"
Manasi thought for a moment and saw that the girl moved a little. His finger poked her. He was thinking of poking her shoulder but ended up poking her cheeks.
'I have to admit she's stunning. I need to be careful not to be a creepy maniac. "
Self-control, self-control, self-control.'
'I'll meditate to control my innermost desire. The same as the hermits who secluded themselves for a dozen year's while smashing their eggs should have an iron will and self-control. I should learn that skill'
"Hello?" Manasi said.
Suddenly, her eyelids quivered.
Her enticing, constellation-blue eyes gazed at him, over her puffy, heart shaped lips. Her eyes were full of confusion as she tilted her head cutely while looking at Manasi, and a smile formed on her sweet lips.
"Abba~."
"..?.." Manasi
'Abba? what?'
"Spirit System? Can you translate Abba? I feel like you two have the same Hebrew language that you are using. " Manasi said.
'Yes contractor, it is the Hebrew language. Abba means "father" in Hebrew.' Spirit System
'Eh????' Manasi was dumbfounded.
"What do you mean, father? Do I look old? spirit system?" Manasi said with a huge question mark on his head
'...' Spirit System
'I'm only 24years old.... now a girl that can potentially become my wife is calling me father! How tragic.' Manasi said.
The girl still keeps calling Manasi 'abba' while smiling and reaching her arms at him.
The way she smiles does 'blossoms'.
'No wonder, Hadem Sage called her Blossom.'
"Abba!" Blossom exclaimed cheerfully.
Manasi held her arms and helped her seat.
"Why do you call me Abba?" Manasi asks
The girl tilted her head cutely as if saying to Manasi, "Why not?"
Manasi was about to say something when he saw a word from the system.
'Contractor, Blossom had a trauma in her brain, because of the star crystal merging with her. She is considered a little child without her former knowledge.'
'Her father, Hadem Sage, submerged her inside the homunculus gel, turning her original body into an artificial body.
'Apart from her soul, her blood, heart and brain are artificial. She cannot be fully considered to be alive.' Spirit System
Manasi looks at the Blossom that is still smiling brightly. Deep in his heart, it saddens him. All he can do for her is help her escape from this place, this planet.
'That's why she called me her father. She's just a child. I can not blame Hadem for what he did. Sage Hadem must have his own reasons. I have no right to judge.' Manasi thought as he smiled at Blossom.
Because of the experimentation, the young girl still has a chance in life. Hadem Sage wanted his race to survive and even more for his daughter to live on.
Maybe that was what Hadem yearned for. Blossom raised her arm as if telling Manasi to hug her, so Manasi could only hug her.
Even though she was covered with the homunculus gel, he did not feel disgusted.
"What's your name?" Manasi looked at her in the eyes.
"...?.." Blossom tilted her in confusion.
She smiled back at Hadem, not knowing what Manasi meant.
"I will call you Blossom, okay?"
Manasi taught her the name her father gave her. He then repeated the word "Blossom" to teach her. Manasi teaches her in English.
"BLOSSOM! Hehe!"
She shouted "Blossom!" as she learned her name. She even lifted my hand to let me pat her head.
Manasi could only pat her head and smile at her. 'I would shower her with love like a father would, and not let her see her life's dark history.'
The End of Chapter 13
Manasi helped Blossom to stand up because she was not yet able to balance herself. Who knows how long she was locked up in this place. "Hm?" Manasi raised his head at Blossom, who was much taller than him. Blossom stared at Manasi with her bright eyes. She then grabbed his hand and put it on top of her head. She giggled. Manasi looked at her while smiling. 'It would be perfect if her height was a tad shorter and I wouldn't look awkward trying to pat her head. Blossom's height is two meters, while I am only 1.8 feet tall.' 'I was even thinking of piggybacking her. I'll be crushed if I do that. ' Manasi thought while sighing with a heavy heart. 'Spirit System, can you scan Blossom's statistics?" Manasi said "Yes, Contractor STATISTICS [Name: Blossom Ironforge] [Species: Sage] [Status: Healthy/Cheerful] [Rank: B-intermediate-Tier] [Batt
"Boom!" A large collision can be heard. The Abyssal Abaddons' mothership stops firing for a moment as it appears to lean sideways but soon regains its flight. Due to the gap that the Homunculus Beast Tiger King had created, there was a chance that the Homunculus Beasts would not let go. The other homunculus beast tigers bite at the rocks as they fill them with their auras, handmade into projectiles as they shoot towards the Abyssal Abaddons mothership. 'Boom! Boom! Their target is the mothership's weapon system as it explodes. The Mothership manages to withstand the attack and begins to stabilize as it is about to resume its firearms system. 'Rumble!' When something unexpected happened, the ground began to shake. In the great desert, a huge beast came out of the sand. It is the homunculus hadum dragon. Manasi, who was watching the battle, gasped at the Homunculus Hadum Dragon.
As the battle raged, Manasi grew restless."Hey, spiritual system, you know we can't just sit here doing nothing. We have to find more bodies to absorb energy. Any ideas on how to get more energy?" Manasi said he wanted to absorb some of the corpses. It is such a waste.Earlier he had been lucky to have a paralyzed beast near him, but Manasi didn't expect that to happen again. He knows that he needs to do something.'Contactor, we will have our chance. Be patient. ' Spirit System'For the Spirit System to prevent me from moving, the spirit system most likely has a solid reason. I will observe for now.' Manasi pondered over it all.He decides to keep looking at the battlefield with Blossom. Maybe he can find something good, or let the system record some techniques."Spirit system, can you copy some of their battle techniques?" Manasi said.The spirit system was silent for a moment.'Contractor, advanced and sup
"Did you just translate the Abyssal Abaddon Commander's words, Spirit System?" Manasi said.'Yes! Contractor.' Spirit SystemManasi observed the Abyssal Commander's warlord-like presence is quite threatening."Spirit System, use [Guide]," Manasi said gravely as his eyes turned gray.Then continue to look at the Abyssal Commander, who was looking at them with contempt."Human, that's an interesting power ... But am I more interested in how you got here? " The Nether Commander said, as his body began to turn red and black flames surrounded him.Manasi did not respond, as he is waiting for an opportunity to strike. The Abyssal Abaddon, on the other hand, has a thoughtful expression. His expression started to harden as he looked at Manasi."Tell me, human, did the prophets send you?"Manasi has no idea what the Abyss Commander is talking about. In Manasi's hand, an appeared as he quickly drew it.<
Sage Planet's Desolation The moment the Abyssal Abaddon Commander raises the gemstone, it shines in rainbow color. As its shine reflects on top of the Mother Ship, where the Homunculus Metal Dragon is being shackled and curbed. When the Homunculus Metal Dragon at the top of the Mother Ship was being scanned by the rainbow light, its sleeping eyelids tremble for a moment, then it opens wide. As it awakens and slowly arouses. When it was completely up, it shook the chains for a moment, then it heaved the chains that locked it up. It then forcefully yanked the chains that are connected toward the Mother Ship pillar of irons. It uprooted the base of the four pillars. As the four pillars collided with the Mother Ship frame, they exploded. The Homunculus Metal Dragon moved its legs slowly, as the metal chains connected to his ankles started to form cracks as they dropped. "Bang!" The chain lock
In the desolate planet's desert, two figures could be seen entering the huge Mother Ship. The figure at the front is carrying a gun. While the other figure is wearing a white gown and carrying a huge snowy axe, the same height as she is, about two meters high. The two of them are slowly advancing inside the Mother Ship. The passages of the mother ship are all destroyed as many ax marks and claw marks are on every side. Blood keeps flowing on the metal floor in this dim passage. These two figures slowly proceed in this passage. As they walk, the one at the front is very vigilant. He would only enter a passage when it was fully secured, as he kept touching the surface walls and putting his ears into them to listen for any movement. The lady, on the other hand, is very relaxed while grabbing the hemp of his shirt while dragging her ax that keeps creating friction on the metal floor. "Papa, where are we
Inside the system space Manasi could be seen in a seating position while looking at the peacefully sleeping blossom, he strokes her silky blue hair while her eyes tremble slightly. 'Looking at her face, really calms my mind, it's been days running around I don't even know what is happening on earth if the church is okay or little Autumn that child is okay.' Manasi thought. “Spirit System, can you check on little Autumn and the church?” Manasi said. 'Contractor, Autumn's parents died in the earthquake, and she is now in her relative house. The church is mostly okay, but they have a conflict with the bishop, for the time being, they're safe.' Spirit System. When Spirit System finish its words, Manasi could see a [-10 energy] on the corner of his eyes. Manasi touch his cheeks in thought, as he did not expect that the church would have a conflict, and also the little girl Autumn lost her parent at a young age, it was un
The Abyssal Abaddon's Mother Ship starts to slowly collapse and explosions are happening inside and outside the Mother Ship.Inside the Mother Ship's main engine, below the dim light that is irregularly turning on and off, a naked person with burns on his body could be seen unconscious and in a kneeling position with his head hanging down.However, there's something unusual about this person as his left hand is only left with bones that are made of red crystal.Opposite the naked person, there stood a three-meter-tall humanoid monster with a scorpion tail.Because of the dim light, it is now visible that the humanoid monster is dragging a half-dead bloody wolf that has a red crystal on its chest.Step by step, the humanoid monster stops in front of the naked person.The humanoid monster turns its head to see the destroyed engine room, the star devouring crystal, and the beast deity heart that stopped pulsing.The hum
After that great battle against the Calamity Tortoise and the Leviathan, Manasi suggested using the shell of the Calamity Tortoise as material to reconstruct the Amber City.As Ben had found out, the shell of the Calamity Tortoise was the hardest material he had seen.Even the materials on his home planet paled in comparison.When Empress Shenna and Princess Anna heard the decision, they also suggested changing the name of the Amber City, and to Manasi's dismay, the new city would be called by his surname, "Shalom City."The Shalom City would be the very center and safest stronghold of humanity.Hence, he planned to expand the Shalom City ten times more than the Amber City, and the walls would reach a hundred meters tall.A wall that would be purely made from the Deity stage Calamity Tortoise.It had to be mentioned that Ben had used the combination of the Leviathan's thick skin and the shell of the Calamity Tortoise
They had used everything they had. They had run out of options to stop the Leviathan from wreaking havoc on Amber City.Despair could be written on the faces of the civilians."Manasi, where are you..." Blossom could be seen with a pale face as she uttered that while clenching her fist.When everything seemed so hopeless, there was always a light that shone in the darkness.From the carcass of the Calamity Tortoise, its back abruptly erupted, then there was a flash as a silhouette of a man arrived right before the Leviathan charge connected to the Amber City defenses.Little Autumn and Blossom were the first to recognize Manasi, as they were the ones with the highest level in the group.Then, at almost the same time, they shouted."Manasi!""Brother!"......Manasi had just finished absorbing the Calamity Tortoise
Seeing the pitiful action of the second enormous being that was pushing its head toward the huge tortoise creature.As if waking it up, made Ben and the others understand that the battle was far from over."Ben, how many more charges can the Sky Arc fire?" Don Alfonso asked solemnly.He could predict what the octopus-fish like creature would do next.Hearing that, Ben gritted his teeth."Three... No, at most four charges... before the weapon system shuts down."At this very moment....."Rwwrrrr!!!!!"The Leviathan let out an earth shattering roar, filled with rage as it discovered the Calamity Tortoise was dead.The Leviathan's green eyes gazed at the Amber City with animosity.Then the surrounding waters start to rise, wave after wave coming bashing at the walls of the Amber City, crumbling it apart.Seeing that the Amber City was about to be submerged by the waves, Little Autumn, in her
"Hmmm?"Manasi saw the sky blue and brownish clouds of what seemed to be elemental energy that was gathering.Because of its density, it was about to liquify.[Contractor, hurry up and absorb that energy before it disperses, as it came from the final heart of the Calamity Tortoise.]With that being explained, Manasi deactivated his buffs.As his body strength returned to normal, he could then start absorbing the elemental energy with peace of mind.Although that elemental energy was not suitable for him.However, because of the Spirit System that was filtering that elemental energy and converting it into a non-elemental form of energy.Manasi could now easily absorb that energy into his pours.He then took a meditative position, as he had to concentrate and, at the same time, he was submerged by the cloud of energy.His power was noticeable, being raised to its full potential. He could even sense
From the birds' eye, a shockwave that was way bigger than the mountains that were stacked together could be seen heading toward the Amber City that was enveloped by the lightning barrier.At the same time, Ben had positioned the Sky Arc in hopes of preventing the shockwave from passing through, and Little Autumn was already ready to give her all to defend the Amber City.Ultimately, the shockwave arrived as the banging sound of the impact as it struck the lightning barrier, as cracks emerged like glass and scattered into the air.At that very moment, no one knew that a miracle would happen when the lightning barrier collapsed.While the parents were covering their children in their arms while foreseeing their impending doom.However, there was only silence, as the second enormous shockwave that they expected did not come.The little girl in her father's arm peeks out her head."Father, there's no more "waves"..." She
The Calamity Tortoise had no more options left. It had to quickly restore its life essence before the being that was destroying his insides found his heart.With that, the Calamity Tortoise charged at the lightning barrier of the Amber City, at the same time being bombarded by projectiles.However, it did not stop the Calamity Tortoise's desperate charge.Seeing that, the people of Amber City gasped nervously. Even the Empress that was watching from her palace couldn't help but crush the armchair she was sitting on.At that moment, the Calamity Tortoise head connected to the lightning barrier.'Boom!'The impact almost shocked the foundation of the Amber City, but fortunately, the Calamity Tortoise's second attempt was futile, as there was no apparent damage to the barrier.The Calamity Tortoise staggered backward while shaking its head from the impact.It was confusing how the thin barrier was abl
A series of explosives echoed in the air, and the moment the missiles hit their target, the blue liquid inside of the missiles boiled.As it released an intense ice element, causing the left side of the Calamity Tortoise's face to freeze.Making it impossible for the Calamity Tortoise to open its jaws.At this time, a group of rangers came out of the groves, dashing like lightning toward the caravan.Rolf was shocked to see this. He had no idea if these guys were enemies. He was about to fire a warning shot.Just then, he caught a glimpse of a logo of the Amber City on the man's chest.The man then grabbed Rolf's shoulder."We don't have time." This man was a Ranger of the Amber City. He then dropped a disk that created a diagram.Before Rolf could understand what was happening, they were about to be teleported away.He also saw men with the same logo of the Amber City setting a disk on the pe
The red trees of the forest start to violently shake, and smaller hills collapse. Cracks can be seen forming on the surface."Screech!!!""Rwwwrrrr!!!"The hawks and wyverns that lived in those red trees and caves flew away as they sensed a horrifying monster was heading in their direction.Behind a mountain gorge, a gigantic foot came crashing down, flattening the red trees while leaving a massive pit in place.Finally, the Calamity Tortoise was fully revealed.The Calamity Tortoise's tired eyes shone as it saw the hawks and the large wyvern flocking together as they flowed away.The Calamity Tortoise stretched its long neck and opened its maw, as a whirlpool emerged, sucking the air in its throat.At this moment, the frantic hawks and wyvern sensed the airflow was drawing backward.Then, out of nowhere, a strong suction force came out, pulling the hawks and wyvern t
Looking at his daughter, Rod displayed a slight smile. Beside him was an old woman with grey hair.She was wearing a lovely dress. This was Shiela's grandmother.He was also beaming as she witnessed her granddaughter's bravery.The camp's wooden, metal plated door was suddenly pushed open as a man raiding a muscular horse, a breed of warhorse, came rushing in while his forehead was covered in sweat.He was heading to the center of the camp. There was a large tent with golden lines that could be seen.At this time, the new recruits that were training halted their movements as they looked in confusion at the man that was riding on his black horse that was passing by them."Stay focus! Stay focus!" Rod shouted at the new recruits."Yes, sir!" The new recruits resumed their training.Then Rod and Shiela gazed at the man who was heading towar
