Monster Integration (Web Novel)

Seconds passed and turned into minutes, while we watched with bated breath for the third stage to start.

I am nervous, but there is also excitement. I had seen the data on the last breakthrough, and it excited me. The Grimm and Titan blood awakened, vying for dominance, calling their forces.

It wouldn't usually happen without a bloodline or corresponding inheritance, but here, these opposite sides are in such fierce competition for dominance that they are calling those forces.

It might not happen at all; the last twas the first tit had happened. It didn't happen during the small breakthroughs.

Even without it; it would be exciting. The merging of corrupted would be a thing to see.

Four minutes and fifteen seconds passed, and finally, the merging of the body and soul began. I saw him gritting his teeth and making things hazy and wanted to turn things hazy for the young girl.

I nearly did before abandoning the plan.

There is a big chance that she might suffer what he is suffering. It would be better, if she saw, no matter, how traumatic it seemed.

I focused on the meta-scan where I saw the unique body and soul trying to merge. Both body and soul contain the opposite element, and they are repelling each other fast, but it is also this repelling force, that bonds them together.

'It is as bad as mine,' I thought, looking at the merging.

My problem is completely different, but I like him. If anyone finds out the cause of that; I would never see the light of the day. It will end for me.

They repel and squeeze as the body and soul merge with the core as the center.

Hun!

Seconds passed when I noticed something. It shocked me; it shouldn't have happened. There is no mention of it.

I was about to stop it, when I paused when I saw; that it seemed to be helping him, instead of making things worse.

"What is that?" Sarena asked.

She also noticed something coming out of the breakthrough formation and mixing in the merging.

"The residual of merging," I answered, and a surprise flashed in her eyes. "You have that?" she asked in shock.

"Yes," I replied, stretching the word, before arching my brow at her. It is clear, that she knew something about it, and seeinglooking, she hesitated, before opening her mouth.

"It helps us with our breakthroughs," she replied finally.

"Then why there is mention of it in the notes?" I asked with a frown. Feeling angry; is such an important part, and they have kept it from me, even when I had asked them to telleverything about their breakthroughs.

"It is not something we tell others and not important either; seeing how hard it is to get the residue." She replied defensively.

I can understand why she hid it. It is one of the things, that could catch them. These people are nothing if not careful.

"How much do you have it?" she asked a moment later, and I waved my hand. Her eyes widened seeing it.

"You were not lying when you said you had helped thousands of people make a breakthrough," she said with shock.

It is from hundreds, not thousands, but I am efficient in my collection. I barely let; any speck goes to waste. It is useful to me, but in a small amount; I used it in forging the breakthrough formation.

The rest is there, and I thought, it wouldn't be of any use other than research, till I reforge my breakthrough formation again.

I was wrong. It is being useful now. Very useful, seeing how tiny the amount of it is making the process less painful and smoother.

"Are you willing to sell it to us? We will pay any price for it," said Sarena. Her eyes are desperate.

If I had been to her place and I had seen something like it, that made the merging smoother and safer, I would have been desperate as well. It is a dangerous stage, and I would pay any price to make it as safe as possible.

"We will talk after the breakthrough is over," I said, and she nodded, albeit with a little unwillingness, and turned toward the breakthrough.

I am feeling a little angry at myself. This residual energy from merging may have stopped the things for which they had asked for my help. It madehappy; it also madeangry.

Minutes passed, and the merging continued.

Hun!

Soon, half of the process was complete, and I had nearly lost hope that it was happening when I noticed the chance.

"Ahhhh…"

It csuddenly and made Ven scream, while the two bloods inside him began to blaze.

"It is happening," said Sarena shuddering in fear, while there is excitement in my eyes. Finally, is happening.

The Grimm blood and titan blood inside him started the war of dominance and it is making a mess inside Ven and I could do nothing. I am already doing everything with my breakthrough formation, and it is helping him.

If it was not that, he would have been on the floor with his skin and soul beginning to tear apart; it had happened last time.

This time, he is much more stable, but the strain of the clash is messing with him. If it continues; it will happen, and I won't be able to do much of anything against it.

Seconds passed and his condition becworse.

The blood started to cout of his orifices, and the skin began to tear apart. The soul isn't in much better condition, either.

Hun!

A few more seconds passed when suddenly, his body blazed like a torch. Half of it was silver while the other half was gold.

From them, an oppressive atmosphere spread into the room.

It is coming from both sources, and it is powerful. Soon, I am going to test my preparations against the energies that will cout of these two sources.

If they worked, he would live. If they didn't, he would die.
