Seizing up his own soul world felt weird because Jason wasn't even aware of what his soul world really looked like.

Everything was enveloped in a golden hue and an uncountable number of elements floated around the world, which he was already aware of while he didn't even know what some of them meant.

Jason knew that elemental variations and so on existed, but he never heard of someone having a few rarer elements in their soul world.

Maybe it was confidential or a private matter that nobody reveleat this, but it was the first time for him to feel weird looking at his own soul world.

'What the hell is this? Or what am I?' Jason asked… He was curious about himself, Not only did he possess special eyes but also an extremely unique soul world which was definitely not normal.

He wasn't scared of himself, but he was aware that some classmates feared him and his abilities, even though he did nothing to hurt them intentionally.

Even if his soul world made him curious, there was nothing for him to do at the moment, because he could neither ask his masters or anyone else.

And he was unsure if they could even help him, as his gaze followed a mana flow that looked similar to magma, causing him to shake his head.

'One step after another!' He told himself, as he left his soul world, to tell Artemis when she should enter his mana core through the gigantic golden gate that was the connection between the soul world and his mana core.

Standing up within the cave, Jason scanned through his body to take a look, only for him to notice that his physique and mana core size almost reached the peak of the 8th Adept rank, which was more than he expected.

The baptism he received was only extremely powerful when he was at the early Adept ranks, increasing his mana core and physique by three levels, while the effect lessened the higher levels and ranks he reached.

But even if that was the case, achieving a mana core size and physical amplification of four levels was extremely large, which Jason would never achieve solely from Scorpio and the black Origin flame's baptism.

'Did I finally receive Artemis' whole amplification?' Jason wondered.

Before Artemis' amplification was drastically reduced, because he couldn't take her inside his soul world while the soul energy he possessed was too shallow, but this small problem was fortunately not there anymore.

Smiling, Jason wondered how much his strength would increase if Scorpio were to enter his mana core in order to fuse with him.

But even more interesting would be Artemis' fortified soul conjunction, because Jason was now fully connected to both Artemis and Scorpio, even though Scorpio's fortified soul conjunction was thinner compared to Artemis'.

Waiting for Artemis to fly through the gigantic golden gate, he expected a sudden change within himself any moment.

However, even after five minutes passed nothing happened and Jason was about to enter the soul world, as Artemis transmitted him a teasing laugh, causing Jason to frown deeply.

'Hahahah...fuu-nn..y' He thought, before his sight blurred for a short moment, as Artemis finally entered his mana core, causing a tidal wave of energy to spread through his whole body, shaking him violently.

"S**t

" Jason shouted out through his gritted teeth, as his legs gave in, by the overwhelmingly large amount of mana that entered his body unhindered.

Around his mana core, appeared an illusionary enlarged mana core, which indicated Artemis' increase he could receive from her, while his physique was forcefully amplified by 100% instead of her normal ⅓ strengthening which astonished him.

He never thought that Artemis amplification would be so tough to endure, but thinking that she was roughly at the 2nd Evolved rank explained everything.

Receiving a 100% amplification meant that her whole strength was converted to him, increasing his mana core and physique immediately to the 2nd Expert rank, before it began to slow down at the 3rd Expert rank.

Artemis 100% amplification could be compared to a power boost, but Jason couldn't feel any happiness as his pores involuntarily opened, with blood oozing out of his orifices and pores, without stopping.

Taking a look within his mana core, Jason only saw Artemis jumping around happily, curiously looking at everything, while he tried to find a way to decrease her amplification which burdened his body too much.

'Sweety….can you somehow decrease your amplification? My body can't take your full strength!' Transmitting the thought to Artemis, she halted her steps before trying to restrict her amplification, as she felt his pain.

However, it seemed as if she couldn't do it and Jason entered the soul world in order to take a look at the golden gate.

Maybe there was something to restrict Artemis amplification.

Looking at the gaze, his eyes widened, as a faint smile appeared on his face.

'Jackpot!'

The gigantic golden was fully opened once a beast entered his mana core and with Scorpio fully converting its strength to Jason, there was no problem, while Artemis was in a completely different league.

Maybe this would also change, but Scorpio was barely at the late-awakened rank which was somewhat close to his current strength, while Artemis was almost several levels above him.

Increasing his physique from the 8th Adept rank to the 3rd Expert rank, suddenly without any warning was not something his body could handle, and Jason began to close the gigantic golden gate, leaving only a small opening.

Leaving the soul world, Jason immediately noticed that his body was freed from the heavy pressure, as he could move around freely once again.

Artemis amplification was restricted to roughly 34% which was barely more than he would initially receive, causing him to wonder what exactly this golden gate within his soul world was.

Subconsciously opening the golden gate further, Jason felt his physique and the illusionary mana core around his own increasing.

Testing it for more than ten minutes, he already felt exhausted, but a bright smile appeared on his face.

"So the 1st Expert is my limit, huh?

" Mumbling, while he averted his attention back to Artemis, connection.

With a smile on his face, he transmitted Artemis his thoughts, as he himself imagined her wings to manifest on his back, as his shoulder blades began to itch, with 1.5 meter long wings slowly developing.

'Fortunately, I took off my leather armor' Jason thought sweating heavily due to the focused mana circulation in addition to the fast decreasing nutrition he had to use up to develop them.

Once Artemis' wings were manifested on his back, Jason felt extremely exhausted, but he didn't want to end it here, as he tried to flap with them, only to notice that they were completely asynchronous.

Losing balance, he fell on the ground with his face first.

'It's even harder than controlling Scorpion's stinger!' Jason noticed and controlling Scorpio's exoskeleton and stinger took him already some time, while his small scorpion soulbond supported him for the whole time, helping him out.

Without Scorpio helping him out to control everything, Jason would already be dead by now, because even manifesting the stinger within an extremely short amount of time was impossible for him alone.

With enough practice it would be possible, but not now!

Sighing, Jason noticed that he had too many things to take care of while increasing the proficiency with his affinities and fortified soul conjunction were definitely one of the most important things.

There was only one disadvantage he noticed about the fortified soul conjunction and he wasn't sure what exactly the reason for this was.

'My mana core is limited to a single beast with a fortified soul conjunction?'
