BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1270 It Is Imperative
"Absorbing the bead via your core will be inefficient in utilizing the energies. It will take at least ten more years for the master to fully absorb it should you do that. Meanwhile, integrating it into my capabilities will make it more seamless.
I will also be the one that manages the energy that will be absorbed by the master to make sure that your soul will not be shocked. It is imperative that I would be the one to do this or the master will have to absorb the initial burst of the energy now which will take at least five days." The Cube of Paradox stated.
"You already got me sold in me not doing anything. Do it." Adrian stated as he gave permission to the Cube of Paradox to absorb the bead in front of them.
Seeing that Adrian has given permission to his ego weapon to proceed, Mellite did not say anything and just observed. If Adrian were to fail, then she would just lead him to the other relics that they have not seen yet. But what Mellite found odd is the fact that Adrian\'s ego weapon could actually speak verbally.
A lot of ego weapons can only communicate with their masters and could not be heard by other people. Instances where an ego weapon could speak by itself or create an astral body are extremely rare. Instances like that only happens to ego weapons that have become Transcendent.
Mellite is looking at the Cube of Paradox as if it is one of the relics present in this treasury. In fact, if she were to assess it then she would even make it on the level of the relic in front of them now. The fact that Adrian has sole ownership of it means that the Cube of Paradox and the former have bonded to an unbreakable degree.
Since the Cube of Paradox has obtained its approval, it suddenly split into numerous smaller cubes and circled the bead in front of them. When the smaller cubes swirled around the bead, a powerful burst of energy is released from it. The bead is actually putting up a fight against the Cube of Paradox.
Adrian could feel that the Cube of Paradox and the bead are bonding but it seems that they are fighting for dominance. The ego of the Cube of Paradox and the ego of the bead are fighting for supremacy. The weaker ego will be absorbed into the other which will strengthen them.
The fight might not look intense but if Adrian were to look into his inner subconscious, then he would see a storm of powerful attacks. The ego of the bead took the form of a humanoid that has no features and looked like a body made of stars in the universe. The ego of the Cube of Paradox took the form of Adrian in chibi form.
Each of the egos could be seen slinging spells and energy blasts that only create shockwaves in the outside world. The ego of the Cube of Paradox could clearly be seen blocking and evading the spells that the ego of the bead is hurling. The two might look like they are at a tie but that is far from what is happening.
The ego of the Cube of Paradox is being gentle with the ego of the bead since it has already deteriorated to a degree where facial features are no longer seen. A more powerful ego will take a more human form which the ego of the bead is lacking. It must have been sealed in the treasury for too long that it could only attempt to block the attacks that the ego of the Cube of Paradox is doing.
Adrian did not meddle in this fight because he knows that he might actually destroy the ego of the bead should he attack. He would leave it to the ego of the Cube of Paradox that seems to have absolute confidence despite the fact that Adrian heard a robotic response.
"Surrender. It is better to be assimilated into the main consciousness than fade away into oblivion." The ego of the Cube of Paradox stated in a rather monotonous tone, but the ego of the bead did not yield.
Seeing that the ego of the bead will not yield despite knowing that it could not defeat the ego of the Cube of Paradox, the ego of the Cube of Paradox suddenly absorbed a lot of energy from Adrian\'s core as its chibi form suddenly grew bigger. The ego of the Cube of Paradox not only took Aether Energy but also Nether Energy which it then fused together.
Adrian observed the changes to the form of the ego of the Cube of Paradox. Adrian thought that the ego would have a combined form of his Aetheros and Netheros form but is actually shocked that the ego took the form of a jester. The ego of the Cube of Paradox took the form of a jester that exudes aether and nether energy at the same time.
The ego also does not have Adrian\'s face but a jester mask that showcased the Aetheros and Netheros side of Adrian. The ego of the Cube of Paradox then held aether energy into its right hand and nether energy on its left hand. The ego of the Cube of Paradox then fused the two together to create an enigmatic energy that was perfect and imperfect at the same time.
When the ego of the bead saw what the ego of the Cube of Paradox had done, it suddenly froze in place and stopped attacking. The ego of the bead then raised its hands as it turned into some sort of smoke and fused with the enigmatic energy that the ego of the Cube of Paradox has created. Adrian is shocked by this sudden turn of events and even more so with what the ego of the Cube of Paradox has done next.
The enigmatic energy is then eaten by the ego of the Cube of Paradox as a cocoon of pure energy wrapped around it. Adrian could feel something change within his soul, but it was soon condensed into something to make sure that nothing explosive will happen. Just like what the Cube of Paradox has stated, it perfectly controlled the increase in energy that Adrian has received.
[The Cube of Paradox has started to assimilate the Chaos Bead.]
Upon seeing the notification, Adrian returned back to the conscious realm as he no longer needs to monitor the ego of the Cube of Paradox. He actually learned something from the inner battle of the two egos. He now knows that a powerful energy could be created from the fusion of both the aether and nether energy, but it will not be easy.
The Cube of Paradox made it easy because it is inside Adrian\'s subconscious where he has complete control of his mental scape. Doing such a ting in the real world might spell disaster because those are two potent energies that cannot be easily mixed. Still, Adrian made sure to at least try and practice this.
"So, it was called the Chaos Bead." Adrian muttered as he now knows the name of the relic that he has gained ownership of or rather absorbed.
The Cube of Paradox has changed in form as it now has a core with it being the Chaos Bead. The Chaos Bead could be seen in the middle of the Cube of Paradox creating these kaleidoscopic lights while the smaller cubes created a purple lightning spark. The Cube of Paradox now looks like a more godlike looking weapon as it is in the process of enhancing itself.
Before the Cube of Paradox went into hibernation mode to assess all the energies it received, it gave Adrian the rundown that he could still use the skills with it being the anchor. The only downside to this would be the fact that Adrian will not be able to speak with the Cube of Paradox for a few days until it could assimilate the Chaos Bead.
"I did not expect you to succeed in assimilating it, but you are the favorite child of those elders. It seems that they are correct about you being peculiar. Anyways, I congratulate you for receiving a relic of your choice. Let me escort you back to the exit." Mellite stated as she helped Adrian out of the treasury.
Unlike the elders that just chuck Adrian inside the portal, Mellite let him walk out of the portal. He found it quite refreshing, but he still has the thought of getting dragged in the back of his mind which is why he scurried.
