BXBX NOVEL Chapter 475 - Calm Before The Storm
Jason had expected that this would happen, but he was still sad.
Now, the only thing reminding him of his masters were his memories, their lifestyle occupation tools, Byakur, his mana sphere, and the minimized conservatory, that had long since been watered.
When Jason awoke after cultivating for more than a month in which he had used every means to increase his mana absorption rate, he flew towards the nearby river to fill the water tank of his minimized conservatory.
Artemis\' wings had increased in size and their wingspan was more than 12 meters if unfolded completely.
Her entire length had increased to more than 4 meters and Jason was glad that she was able to switch between her small form and the large state.
Otherwise, he would have quite some problems squeezing her on his broad shoulders.
Since the Blood eclipse, two and a half months had passed and it was already summer.
It had already been around two years since Argos was overthrown by the foreign races but mankind had yet to be defeated!
However, what astonished everyone was that nothing had happened since the Blood eclipse!
Not even a single foreign race was seen fighting against each other, and even the news about the islands in the archipelago was too good to be true.
This state was known as the calm before the storm, and the expected storm was said to be the worst possible!
If Jason\'s thoughts were not completely wrong, there would only be one last, yet, gigantic fight of the Argos alliance against the Drake alliance!
What would happen afterward was an unknown and blank future.
Nobody knew whether the foreign races would leave Argos, or only Canir, if the Argos alliance were to come out victorious, while the worst case was the Drake alliance\'s victory.
At the same time, Jason couldn\'t be sure how useful the Elvyr embassy would be if they came out victorious.
Would they support mankind to rebuild the destroyed cities and everything else until the six months they\'ve promised to support mankind elapsed, or would they simply leave?
Even if the war would be over that didn\'t mean all problems would magically vanish into thin air.
As such, Jason could only hope that the issues were not as problematic as visualized them.
Despite that, his strength had increased by a large margin too!
While Artemis had liquefied her 100th drop of mana, Jason\'s had been able to liquefy his 38th drop of mana, which was an increase of 10 drops in the last one and a half months.
At the same time, his liquefied mana drops were more compressed than the others and had the amount of mana others would require for three drops of mana within them.
Thus, solely from the number of mana drops within his mana core, Jason\'s strength reached the threshold that other prodigies with more than 100 drops of liquefied mana in their core had!
Other than that, his physique had been further enhanced.
While his primal bloodline awakening had enhanced his physique by around 80 drops of mana, he received a strengthening in his physical strength from the Netherworlds fort technique equal to 21 drops of liquefied mana.
Meanwhile, his soul world\'s amplification increased the size of his mana core and strengthened his physique further.
In the end, Jason\'s pure strength was comparable to that of someone with more than 250 drops of liquefied mana in their mana core!
This was without him utilizing his stigma that was the main reason for his high mana absorption rate, the Celestia aura, his mana eyes, the curses he had, Solaris\' powerful ability, or his weapons!
To put it simply, Jason was the most powerful human prodigy, who was soon to become 17 years old!
His strength had increased so rapidly that not even his friends had been unable to cope with him!
Thus, he was subconsciously drifting away from his friends, in fear that they would be implicated in his mess, and in the end be killed too.
Their strength was insignificant to the foreign races\' most basic soldiers, and they were unable to face a single opponent!
After he had filled the water tank, Jason decided to take a look at Mike, and how much ammunition he had manufactured.
It was more than Jason expected, and only then did he find out that the young citizens he had hired to copy the neutral body refinement manual, had continued to work during the last two and a half months.
The copies had been sold to Merl Arths and the exchanged goods were brought to Mike, who became popular as Jason\'s weapon manufacturer.
Others had asked him to manufacturer a weapon for them to, but Mike simply said that Jason\'s situation was special and that it was better to focus on the youth\'s weapons and ammunition.
He stated certain requirements that had to be fulfilled before he would manufacturer a gun for those who want it.
Unfortunately, only a few fulfilled the requirements, yet Mike had also told everyone clearly that Jason would remain the top priority to manufacturer weapons and ammunition for.
Thus, Merl Arths had sent the ores and other goods that had been used in exchange for the neutral body refinement techniques to Mike, who gladly used everything he could grasp!
When Jason received the astronomical number of mana stones and other goods, Mike didn\'t need, he couldn\'t help but smile drily, thinking that it was much easier to make money by selling copies of the translated refinement manuals than expected.
However, what wondered him, even more, was the fact that nobody tried to copy his copies and sell or distribute them!
This was something Jason had expected to happen after some time, but nobody seemed to have figured out what exactly he had done to the translated manuals!
As such, he lowered the price for the copies further, while paying his copywriters more to work even harder.
Exploiting either side for too long would be bad and not what he should focus on.
Furthermore, the more powerhouses refined a stronger physique, the less pressure he would have on the battlefield.
As such, it was a win-win situation, and Jason could only hope that everyone was diligently increasing their strength as he did.
Mike had asked him whether he was able to increase his flame\'s strength further before the Blood eclipse had happened.
It was only three months later that Jason had returned to Mike, who had painstakingly tried to increase the impact of his weapons and the bullets he was manufacturing for Jason\'s desert eagles!
Jason\'s soul energy had reached around 840,000 units which was extremely high, considering that he was only 17 years old.
Even this that, Jason was still not content.
If Solaris were to absorb all of that, without being nurtured by the Ifrytor\'s Creato flames, its soul energy would only increase by 150,000.
The highest known soul energy for beasts at the peak of the Lique stage was 10 million units!
Thus, Jason didn\'t bother distributing a single soul energy unit to Solaris as it would burn three units in order to annex a single one!
This was too wasteful and instead of bothering about increasing Solaris\' strength right now, it was much better if he were to do that while devouring the Ifrytor\'s life force and Creato flame!
Petri, who had already been evolving for several months now, was still not done and it looked as if the petrification serpent was waiting for something.
At the same time, Petri had transferred lots of mana from Jason\'s mana core into his own, and Jason could only hear a faint voice transmission complaining about the lack of life force he provided.
With that in mind, it was obvious that Petri required Solaris to absorb life force for him, while Solaris itself had to absorb the Creato flames to nurture its mana core, allowing more soul energy to inhabit it.
The black origin flame was still too difficult for Jason to comprehend, and he was always wondering how much of a miracle it must have been to find Solaris!
Nevertheless, the complexity of his palm-sized flame was what made Jason believe that there are more secrets left behind on Argos than one might think!
Otherwise, how would it be possible for Solaris to appear on a newly awakened planet, in an unawakened state at that!
