It took two hours and three minutes for my core to absorb all the resources it needs. 92% of what I had placed in the formation. It is more than I had thought, what my core would take. Which will directly increase the risk of my breakthrough, but the boat had sailed long enough that there was no point in worrying about it. After the resources, my core begins to slow down before it stopped. It stayed there for several seconds before it started to spin again. As I did, the formation begin to shine brightly and begin taking energies from the combination of eight energy crystals. This time, I had not used the energy from one source, but eight in different quantities. It would be best for what I am trying to achieve. Though, I would have very much preferred it. If they were a little less expensive. Eight of the five crystals were brought from the store, and they had cost me a lot. They were one of the most expensive things I had brought from there. The energy begins to enter inside me, while the pain remained constant. During these two hours, I have gotten little used to it than now; I am not gritting my teeth as tightly as before. The core absorbs the energy fast, but it would still take some time before the core, to get filled. As with the resources, my core is going to take excess energy than it needs. An hour passed and then another and my core is still absorbing the energies like crazy. I am kind of became scared as it should have stopped minutes ago, but it is still absorbing the energies. I am thinking about stopping the process, but that would bring its own consequences, but if it continued, I will have no choice but to do it. If I did not, then my core could blast into the pieces, and I do not want that to happen. Nine minutes passed and the core finally started to slow down; seeing that, I took a sigh of relief. As a minute more, I would have stopped forcefully, bringing consequences that I do not want to face. The core had finally stopped, and immediately the consolidation has begun. I watched it with bated breath as the real danger starts now. My core had accepted more resources and energies than it should, and it destabilize it. I have made preparations that it would not happen, but something could always go wrong. I would be powerless to do anything if that were to happen. Hun! I sensed the problem a minute after the consolidation begins. The lumps begin to appear around the consolidating core; the core tried to stop them, but they kept forming. My expression turned bad seeing it, but as I had said, I could not do anything. It had gone out of my hand; the only thing I could do is trust my core to handle it. I hope it does. Two more minutes passed and lumps kept appearing, that they now covered the whole core. I felt like I was dying and it would happen. If these lumps remained. I could sense the violent energies from these lumps, and if a single one of them had exploded, even the smallest one I will die, without a doubt. Hun! I was panicking about death when one of the smaller lumps absorbed back into the core and core. It surprised me, but what happened next was shocking. The moment the first lump disappeared, another one disappeared and then another, and in just a couple of seconds, all the lumps disappeared from the surface of my core. I took a sigh of relief and watched it with bated breath, but did not see any problem as my core consolidated. Over fifteen minutes passed, and my core finally consolidated. My core had turned into a beautiful world again, which had become even more beautiful. Usually, this is the phase where I smiled. As the breakthrough succeeded, now, the runes will come and the breakthrough energy will release, advancing my strength rapidly. The same thing will happen, along with a few other things, if go bad. Then, will mess me up for life; it will be worse than death if things did not go as I had planned. After a second of silence, my core shone, and the runes came out, spreading into every inch of me; going deeper than before. Buzz! In less than a minute, the runes spread inside me, and my core buzzed, releasing a massive amount of breakthrough energy. It is so much that my core begins to shake uncontrollably as it did it. Ahhhhhhh… The energy entered my body, and I screamed. As it begins to fill me and millions of small fissures of brownish-green formation created on my body and soul. They are extremely small that they wouldn't collapse me by turning my puddle, but they are at that limit. Something goes wrong. Then many parts of my body would turn into puddles and that damage would be permanent. It wouldn't be healed by the potion or the healer. The greenish-brown formation is just created by the fissures, but it had also released the special mix of forbidden energy I had created. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎 This way, I will merge with more forbidden energy. I will do this until I had reached the Sovereign stage. The energy poured into my body and was absorbed by it and fissures while I screamed in pain. It is a good thing; I had silenced the wards, or it would definably wake up, all my neighbors, that would have been bad. Minutes passed and my throat have become dry from screaming, but I still kept screaming, without care for the world. It felt like years have passed, when I felt the pain slowing down. It is happening very slowly, but I do not care. All I care, it is finally happening. The core had finished releasing the energy a while ago, but I was still feeling the pain and it would take a while before the pain disappeared. Though the danger had disappeared. It was present until the core was releasing the energies. It had stopped, which also means I have reached the Peak of the Primary-II stage.
