Monster Integration (Web Novel)

"This is a part, but not whole," I said as I looked dense purple liquid.

It is thicker than the honey and smells terrible. It is also extremely powerful; that I had manipulated my defenses before I was able to come so close to it.

The solution in front of me is a fertilizer; not one fertilizer, but a mix of several. The pipes transporting it had leaked, creating it.

I collected some samples and got the results. Its confirmed that it had been used to make the poison, but it was not a poison. It is dangerous energy, that could kill me within a few minutes, if entered inside the body sufficient amount

It worked openly while the poison was sneaky. I could survive, even if I ingested a fatal amount of it with my methods, but I am powerless against the poison.

I didn't stay there for long and moved away with the disappointment in my heart. I had thought, I would find the source of the poison, but I had only found one part of it.

Seeing how the fertilizer is coming from the underground and with formation covering it. It will be hard for me to reach the source of the poison through it.

If the energy had been weaker, I might have been able to do it. Sending the trackers inside, but it is powerful enough to kill even Peak Sky Sovereigns. All the seeds I had sent inside had evaporated.

It also has some elements that mess with artifacts as nano-drones have survived, but they are not sending the signals to me.

Still, I sent a lot of them inside pre-programmed instructions to come out every few seconds. As long as I am close to them, I will sense them and get the information they have collected.

I might be able to find something useful in them.

"What is there?" asked a human man with a long mustache, seeing coming out of the place where fertilizer is.

"A very dangerous substance. Be careful of it," I said without stopping and like I had expected. The man had entered inside; that is why, I had not warned him to not go inside and only warned about the danger.

No matter, what I had said, he would have gone inside sensing the intensity of the energy the fertilizer produces.

This place is great, and I would be the luckiest man. if I found the central storage of this place, but it is unlikely to happen. This place has powerful defensive formations and there are a lot of them.

If I were to try, it would take me months, if not years, to unravel it all, unless, of course, I found a way through this broken mess.

Central storage, as its name suggests, is a place where all the resources are stored.

The vast formation running this place plants the seeds and collects the resources. It also used these resources to collect the seeds for planting and create the fertilizer for them.

I know it because I had created something like this. Though, it is not as self-sufficient as this one.

In my core, I just didn't plant things. I also create the special environment; they need and the fertilizers.

After years, I had created a large collection of fertilizers that work on almost all plants, but now and then. I needed to create a specific fertilizer for the plants.

It is one of the reasons why I started to learn the alchemy.

Every time, I needed a specific fertilizer that wasn't present in the market. I would go to the alchemist and while I had enough clout, that any alchemist would finish my order as quickly as possible, I still hated the wait and dependence.

I pushed those thoughts away as I stopped and released my string toward the plant.

Within a second, the whole plant had moved into my core, along with the soul it had been on and the resources.

Most of the time, I couldn't do it. As the formation covered the ground, it had been, but sometimes, I do. It made me especially happy when the plants were as rare as the one, I had just taken.

I moved, with my soul sense moving in every direction.

Searching for the source of poison and also the thing that could help me deal with the Sky Sovereign, once I get out of the garden. I have a few things in my core, and they are dangerous, but using them will kill me as it will kill the Sky Sovereign.

Though, I won't be using those measures unless I really don't have a choice. I hope, in the next eleven days, I find something that will give me a choice.

A few hours passed, and I found nothing, but the plants.

I kept sending my soul waves further and further, but I found nothing, till I reached, the end of the path, I had taken.

So, I had to go back and walk to other paths.

Those paths were not as bountiful as the ones I had chosen. Others had already harvested everything they had and only left the plants, that were in the difficult place.

Though plants were not my target. It still made me a little sad, seeing many of them have been harvested before me. sometimes, I wanted to loot the people, a few had already started doing it, but I controlled my impulse.

I have not come here for the plants. I am here to find the source of the poison. So, I could discover the cure and something that will help me deal with Sky Sovereign, without dying first.

Over ten hours passed, and I have looked through over 90% of the space. Less than 10% had remained.

If I don't find anything, I will have to move to another section.

This broken place isn't all connected. There are multiple sections, and I will need to go out and enter through another place to go to those sections.

It is too much, but there is no other choice in front of me. I have to look through them and do it fast because I don't know, in which section I will find what I am looking for.
