Monster Integration

Each of my steps felt heavy as I got out of the tower.

This is nothing serious, just temporary. What is serious is that I wouldn't be able to use my full power for four hours and there is nothing I could do to expedite that.

There are things that could help me, but all have side effects and I rather not use them unless it is really important.

Hun!

I was moving toward my abode when suddenly a smile appeared on my face, and I sat down on the bench near me.

My seed had returned, and it was not from one of the five palaces, but the person who returned from one of four decrepit one.

It had been six days since I had come here, and I had gone through all the five treatments from all the five palaces. Thanks to the preparations I had made; I hadn't suffered side effects from any one of them.

Instead, my strength rose enormously.

I would have been more than satisfied with the increase if I had not noticed one thing. There is a reason why there are nine palaces with each palace giving different treatment.

According to the information, it is said that going through the nine treatments, one would receive the greatest benefits. It is just a line to bait people to take the risk, but also the truth.

I do not need nine treatments because of my unique advantages, but I need six for the complete benefits.

The sixth one needs to be Yigon Palace; the palace from which the Sky Sovereign returned with heavy injuries. He will need at least two weeks to recover from it.

Though, it might be worth it, seeing the benefits he had received.

He is not the first one, I had inserted the seeds. I had kept them at yigin palace's door; they would seep inside them the moment they stepped inside.

Till now, six people entered inside, five Sky Sovereigns, one Earth Sovereign. Two died and their death was horrible, that I don't want to go there, but I need to increase my strength.

I looked at the data, which had the result of over a hundred tests.

The seed wasn't only to collect the data; it had a hundred and thirty-seven kinds of tests in it. If I want to take a risk, then I will do it with complete preparation; I don't want to bet my life on incomplete preparations.

I stayed on the bench for a few more minutes, before I went to my abode and didn't get out for a day.

Usually, I get out twice a day to go to the market. With the Sky-Sovereign, there are a lot of amazing things and I bought a lot and want to buy more, but the treatment is more important.

Since I sent most of my clones to study the data, of cultists and work on inheritance, I only have two clones with me to make the preparations.

I have first analyzed the data and now crafting a method. I am preparing for every emergency that might occur and don't care for the resources; I need to spend to achieve that.

The resources are for the progress, and I am using them for it.

A day passed and woke up, feeling refreshed. I got up and freshened up, before cooking myself a simple breakfast.

I finished it in fifteen minutes and washed the plates before walking out of the abode.

"Yigon palace," I said as I stopped in front of the broken building. It is so broken that one couldn't determine its shape. The records state, that it was a palace-style building with two huge bronze statues in front which are now all but disappeared.

I looked at it for a second more before walking inside.

I avoided the rubble and broken formations that had killed the Sky Sovereigns. I don't think that to happen to me when they could be easily avoided with slight caution.

It took a few minutes, but I reached the central chamber, which had been magnificent in its day, but now it was all broken.

In the center of the grand chamber is a huge piece of copper, covered in golden runes with hundreds of cracks in it. It is around twenty meters long and five meters thick and looked like someone had found it on the ground and brought it here.

Around it are discs, which are floating in a strange patter.

There used to be thirty-two discs, but now only seven had remained and even among seven, five were in bad shape, that nobody sits.

Only two are in good condition.

People could sit on any of the discs since their bath will be unpredictable, the same as the amount of energy taken from the huge copper lump.

It could be tiny and diluted, that even a Sovereign could bear, and huge and concentrated, that it would vaporize a Sky Sovereign in an instant.

It is unpredictable and if not for the amazing benefits it offers, I wouldn't have taken the risk.

I looked for a few seconds, before taking out the things. I am going there with maximum preparation; I value it so much that I had even used a cloud tar soul for it.

The first thing, I took out was a bottle; it was a glass bottle, that seemed to contain the red liquid. I opened it and poured it on my naked body.

It was hot as oil, but it spread quickly across my body, till it covered every part of it. As it happened, I opened the wooden box, took out a fistful of silvery ash, and began to cover my body with it.

I needed the eight fistfuls of ash to cover my whole body.

The last was a bottle with a blue solution and like the first, I poured it cover my body. Within seconds, it covered my body whole and a moment after that, it began to inflate.

Thirty-nine seconds later, six inch thick blue crystal was covering every part of my body.
