Monster Integration

I didn't heed his warning, and I closed the absorption of the life force.

The reaction from him was immediate.

The white gem flared in power, while he tried the same with the red gem, but there was no reaction. I too have the authority in there and I stopped, which made him shift his focus to the green gem.

"Bastard!" he cursed loudly, which shook the whole dome.

I think he is angrier at himself than me. Why? Because, in his overconfidence, he overlooked the green gem. He didn't even imprint it, which wouldn't have taken him more than a few seconds.

I repelled his attempt at the green gem; I didn't even let him enter inside.

He might have been able to do that forcefully. It had complete access to two gems, but he didn't; he shared the access of one gem with me and thus couldn't use the force of one gem to forcefully imprint.

While he is trying, the cultists and people are looking at him, with different emotions, from hope to worry.

They also looked for the person who had made the shaman angry, but there was not an answer, there was no way I would reveal myself.

'It is done,' said my clone several seconds later.

Buzz!

'Lets begin,' I said, and the green gem lit up. Immediately, the eyes of the shaman widened, as he understood what, I was trying to do.

"Don't you dare!" he shouted and tried to stop it, but he couldn't.

Our access isn't similar; I have higher access than him, thanks to the stonewalling thing he did. It made the tree give me the higher access.

So, he couldn't stop me.

As for what I am doing? I am taking back the life force that belong to me and others. It is mixed and formed the eleven fruits, but now the tree had begun to suit suck the life force from the first fruit and return it to the people.

It won't be the life-force they have stolen from us.

They have purified it and mixed it with other things. I have looked and while it is not perfect, it will merge back.

It is not a perfect solution and won't be without problems, but we will have to bear them because leaving our life force isn't a solution. We are all weak; they have taken nearly 30% of life force, which would take people months to recover.

In those months, they will not be able to use all their strength.

This way, they will need a few days to weeks to adjust to it and won't be as weak as they should have been, if not gaining the life force back.

What I am doing is really dangerous and I wouldn't have done, it if this tree wasn't really good. Mixing life forces and other things is extremely dangerous, but this tree, removed, almost all the harmful things from it.

It doesn't make it safe and there is also the energy that runes had sucked, and the cultist added, but it is safe as it could be.

I wish, I could make it safer, but I couldn't.

Lifeforce didn't come back immediately, some changes began to appear on the roots and the needles. It was painful, but much less than when our very life-force got sucked out of us.

The runes may seem like a problem, but they are not.

I have broken their connection with the core at the white crystal; the rest could be dealt with the people. It won't take them, more than a few minutes to deal with them after I remove roots from their bodies.

A minute and a half passed, when finally, life-force came in.

It was hot and heavy; it was not just the life-force belonging to the Earth-Sovereigns, but also the Sky Sovereigns. I would have liked to separate it, but I couldn't; it simply mixed too well.ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novelenglish.net . Firᴇ(.)nᴇt

Also, that separating function is being controlled by the white gem. So, even if I wanted; I couldn't separate it.

Hun!

As it inside my, body turned ravenous and began to absorb it crazily, surprising even me. I had expected some reaction, but not this.

It is too strong.

It seemed like, my body wasn't special to that. All the people's bodies are behaving like this. Not only the Earth Sovereigns but also the Sky Sovereigns.

'What is it?' I thought and focused on the clone, who was testing the life-force.

My clone is looking, but such things are complex.

Still, my clone is looking while I focus on the crystals. I need to be vigilant at every moment; that shaman is constantly trying to wipe my imprint from the red gem.

He understood that if he wanted to gain back control. Then erasing my imprint is the best way and he trying to do that and using every method he could think of.

He has many methods, and he is using all of them.

While nothing was working, I remained careful. I didn't want to get overconfident and make a mistake as it would be deadly.

I was only handling it myself, but also had one close in case, I had missed something. Till now, I didn't, but I didn't want to take the chances.

Minutes passed and the life force continued to flow into the people.

I am seeing everything through my seed and till now, I am not seeing any problem, aside from those I had been expecting.

Which made me relieved; I don't want them to face any problem.

A few more minutes passed, and another fruit disappeared and the life force inside returned to the people, while Shaman continued to try to wrest control for me.

BANNNG!

Suddenly, he stopped, and I was wondering why when I heard a loud bang that shook the whole dome.
