When I started to test again, I was shocked by what I saw.
"These bombs… They could evolve my bones!" It was a shocking discovery, one that went beyond my wildest imaginations.
I thought the bones were just affecting the bombs, dissolving their structure and storing up their energy. At most, the amount of energy stored inside was going to get elevated by a notch or something.
But it didn't just stop on the amount of energy stored inside, but the grade of the bone itself! At the same time, the lower the grade of the bone was, the faster absorbing the bombs became!
The fastest were the green grade bones! They only took less than one hour to absorb the bombs, turning from white, shooting all the way up to a dark gold grade!
What a miraculous and crazy way to evolve them was! What a great chance I got right here!
As for the blue and silver bones, they evolved into black and red bones respectively. It was such a nice way to evolve bones, but these two took at least a couple of hours to absorb the bombs.

This task, the one that started out to save the universe, turned into such a great chance to evolve my bones.
It seemed doing good deeds would come back to repay you generously by the universe. It was Karma, and I was grateful for the universe's generosity and its Karma law!
Starting from there, this task didn't become a burden on me. Instead, I began to enjoy it the most! I kept moving around, hunting all the bombs I could find, letting my bones absorb and get evolved, before replacing them with another batch of green bones.
I tried to take more out, but ended up getting fine gold and even silver grade bones. I didn't like the result, even if it came at the cost of lowering the time by ten minutes.
It wasn't worth it! And soon I lost myself in doing this, collecting the tens of millions of bombs from the dark planet, then jumped off to the dark moons as well.
As I got done from here, I moved fast, heading towards the light side and started to do the same. In total, I spent close to six months here, and lost all feeling with time.
But it was worth it! All the bombs got dealt with, and I ended up having a great harvest of high grade bones.
Saying that my low grade bones made the most of my wealth right now was a wrong statement. And that was just the harvest of one world!
"Tsk! I wasted a lot of time here," I cancelled my ability, to get shocked to see Real still waiting for me at the same spot I vanished from.
I thought I'd appear at the light side, having to jump back where I left using my staff. But it seemed I didn't need to do so.
"So, how did it go?" and when I was feeling puzzled, I got more confused by his words, "did your first attempt succeed?"
"First attempt?!!" I looked in a weird way towards him, and he seemed to get that something was wrong.
"You just went into that mirror world of yours for a week now! You should have found these bombs, brought a few out with you… What? Don't tell me you didn't find any, got lost in there or something?"
"Hold on a second, did you just say I stayed there for one week?!!!" I asked while feeling my heart thumping violently inside my chest.
I stayed there for an entire six months or even more! I lost track of time, and felt great blame and regret for wasting such a long amount of time inside.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Yes, you took one week… Don't tell me you felt it shorter! Damn! That time ability of yours is quite unpredictable!"
"I can't agree more," without the need to correct him, I slowly nodded, agreeing totally on his last statement, "now I got to leave you here. Can you handle defending this world for me?"
"L… Leave? Come on! You just tested the first attempt to defuse these bombs! There are tons out there, way beyond you can count or imagine! You can't leave…"
"Easy there," I had to interrupt him or else he might get a heart stroke or something, "I already defused everything. This world is now safe. All the danger remaining here still comes from the fiends and their forces. So, can I depend on you to handle the situation here or what?"
"This…"
"Just accept it," I didn't want to waste more time explaining such things. I still got nineteen other worlds to visit, twenty zones, not to mention the ten enemy homelands as well.
I didn't know if the enemy got enough of the angels or not, or when they were able to trigger these bombs. So it was better to start moving out right away, not delaying for a single moment.
"Now tell me, can you handle things here or what?" This was the most important question right now. I got to leave, and if he couldn't keep this place under control, then things would end up quite bad.
"Well… are you sure you diffuse everything? There are tons of bombs scattered everywhere!"
"I just told you, it's all safe right now," I paused, moving my eyes around, "but you got to know how important this dark planet is. If the enemy managed to smash it, then everything done here is going to end."
"No need for that," he suddenly waved his arm, "I already spoke with the higher ups. And it seemed our ancestors were prepared for the day of your arrival."
"What do you mean?!" I was confused, and didn't know what he meant by this.
