God's Eyes (Web Novel)

Upon feeling the vibrant connection with the Spiral Spirit egg, Jason couldn't help but smile brightly.

Nothing had happened after binding the Spiral Spirit, and his soul world had slowly calmed down, seemingly accepting the fact that Jason made a decision.

Testing if his new soulbond was restricted in doing anything, Jason let it enter the soul world before taking it out a few moments later.

There were many things for him to do, but testing the bare minimum functionalities that the Spiral Spirit could or couldn't access was still important.

With his soul connection, Jason tried to decipher the entire situation of the Spiral Spirit.

This was not difficult, and using both his senses and Emperor Eyes, he clearly understood that the soul energy he provided had nurtured it, giving the Spirit more energy than it had ever absorbed until now.

Jason found this to be a little bit sad, but faintly touching the Spiral Spirit with his hand, he didn't hesitate for a single moment as he used a fraction of Solaris' flame to let it enter the egg's innermost parts.

Without burning its way through the shell, it was extremely difficult for Solaris to enter the egg, let alone maintain a steady flame with the accurate amount of heat.

Nevertheless, by using all kinds of means in addition to the fully released Celestia aura and the additional amplification of all activated Stigmas, whose effects were overlapping, this was possible.

Even if he had to burn the shell, Jason was sure that repairing the shell was much better than allowing the spirit to never hatch, and die before it was truly born.

In the end, the egg's of spirits were not made out of chalk or similar materials, but in fact, they were the bodies of the Spirit itself.

It was the solidified mass of the Spirit, and Solaris liquefied it to a certain extent, allowing itself to emerge inside the fully liquefied part of the body.

While Solaris was searching its way through the chaos of a Spirit's insides without injuring anything, Jason was feeling the Spiral Spirit's pain and emotions.

The degree of pain the Spirit felt in comparison to before, increased only slightly.

Yet, at the same time, it was releasing a distinct sensation of joy, feeling that its body was slowly heating up.

Solaris was causing this subconsciously, but instead of burning anything, it soothed the tension coiled up Spiral veins that were malnourished and too thin to allow a large amount of spirit force to circulate through it.

At the same time, the Spiral veins were already overflowing with spirit force, but it was unable to move a single inch.

Under normal circumstances, this was not problematic, but if unannexed energies remained at the same location for a long period, imprisoned, and were rendered incapable of movement, they would become more destructive, slowly damaging the surroundings.

As such, the small amount of spirit force within the Spiral vein was not advantageous to the Spiral Spirit, but instead, were damaging because the clogged-up mana veins were preventing it from moving.

'Is the deteriorated and damaged Spiral vein the reason for all kinds of potential hues I can see?' Jason suddenly wondered, only to shake his head.

The reason for him to see all kinds of potential hues around the Spiral Spirit was not important.

Important, was in fact, the joy radiating from his newest soulbond that was slowly being nurtured by the soul energy Jason provided.

A Spirit would hatch once it was able to liquefy its entire body, and from Jason's point of view, this would take an eternity to happen naturally.

The Spiral Spirit had barely liquefied the most basic functions, allowing them to work. However, they were already liquefied the moment it was detached from the mother Spirit's body.

As such, it hadn't been able to liquefy anything on its own.

But that was nothing out of the ordinary in Jason's opinion.

He hadn't expected anything else, to begin with.

There had been a reason for the other powerhouses to not even bother reconsidering to bid for the Spiral Spirit egg.

Meanwhile, Jason, who was now fully aware of the Spiral Spirit egg's condition, couldn't help but label them foolish.

With enough time, the Grand Spirit he had purchased would become stronger than each of the other Spirit eggs that had been auctioned!

That was something Jason was confident about.

However, rather than focusing on competing against the other Grand Spirits, he wanted to give more attention to the Spiral Spirit's well-being and nurturing it properly.

Rushing its growth process would only injure it.

As such, he would have to expel the mana from the veins slowly so as to prevent an overflow of spirit force within the Spiral Spirit egg.

If too much spirit force were to circulate through the deteriorated Spiral veins, they might rupture.

This was something nobody would want to happen.

With that possibility in mind, using more time to allow the Spirit to gain the ability to cultivate and hatch properly was the most important.

While Jason thought about that, Solaris had already arrived in the center of the Spiral Spirit, where the rotten, dead mana veins were located.

Through his Emperor Eyes, he could see that they were nasty, but feeling them through both Solaris and the Spiral Spirit caused goosebumps to erupt all over his body.

Despite that, Jason smiled lightly as he allowed Solaris to increase its temperature by 0.1 degrees.

Not knowing how sensitive the body of a Spirit was, he could only act carefully as he didn't want to hurt, let alone injure his newest soulbond.

It was rather easy for even the slightest contact with a flame to lead to deep and permanent injuries, and Jason wouldn't be able to forgive himself if a mistake were to occur.

Taking a deep breath, he adjusted the position in which he sat in front of the egg before fully focusing on Solaris, the dead mana veins, and the Spiral Spirit's pain sensors.

After he slowly increased the flame's temperature that had been extremely low from the start, Jason's Emperor Eyes detected every single change within the egg.

Because of that, it didn't take long before he was able to see something that caused his eyes to gleam lightly. It made him believe that only a minute increase in the flame's temperature was required to untangle the messed-up chaos of the dead mana veins.

However, at the same time, Jason sensed that he couldn't increase the temperature of Solaris' flame anymore.

As such, the first plan he had in mind was immediately rendered useless, which forced him to resort to his second plan.

Slowly splitting up the finger-tip-sized flame within the Spirit's body, Jason spread all of them along the dead mana veins, evenly heating up everything, and using the highest possible temperature without injuring the Spirit.

This caused a multitude of emotions to radiate from the Spirit because it sensed that faint traces of spirit force were able to circulate through the places that were not clogged up anymore.

Simultaneously, Jason noticed that the parts of the Spirit vein that had been clogged up were in a bad condition.

Even though he was frustrated about this, there was nothing for him to do against it.

Nurturing the Spiral Spirit with his utmost efforts would probably solve this issue, and he would only be required to put in a lot more time and funds to make it happen.

With that in mind, Jason began to insert his own mana into the small Spiral Spirit egg.

He led it through the tangled up chaos of the Spiral veins before it arrived in front of the dead mana vein as he mumbled.

"So…now the 'fun' will finally begin!
