Time Chamber 2

I enter and see a giant room, the ceiling floor and walls are all made out of stone, the ancient looking kind. The room starts lighting up, orange Eldritch energy keeps moving through the floor into the array.

The Time stone glows in a green light and the array starts to devour the Eldritch energy, and now i see the problem.

It was the same one I had when I was making 'Gilgamesh'. Eldritch energy can't be sustained without being in some sort of contact with the sorcerer.

If this place had a battery full of Eldritch energy it would be a lot easier to power and use. But that's currently impossible.

So the only choice they have left is to manually put more energy in the array, and people will tire easily. This method is not full poof, it actually is kinda dangerous and stupid.

They have an infinite source of power that they can't distribute properly, all they are doing is acting like living breathing cables right now. Not the most efficient way to do it.

This is actually very concerning. They have the Ancient One and several Grandmasters yet they still haven't made Eldritch batteries with runes after all this time.

Considering they have internet and electricity here there's no way they haven't thought it before. This means they have given up on trying and declared it impossible.

Sighh.. If it Existed i could have used it to power the Grimoire when its making Artificial Stones, I'm going to have to scrap that idea. At least until I figure out how to do it. There must be something in the system that can help me with this.

Never mind that, that can be done later on. Now lets check on what I have to do, my previous training regimen should do the trick.

..Hmmm.

First of all putting on Resistance and Gravity Seals is a must. For grinding physical stats that I haven't touched in ages.

Second is Eldritch magic training. Which means practicing 'Para-scythe', 'Gilgamesh', and other spells for combat. Further increasing the Efficiency of my combat skills. This will also include combinations with my other skills.

Ice make Magic. Mostly working on improving the Ice 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva, i can form it but it has no force, no strength. I need to put more magic power in it. Magic power that i don't have, i just have to practice to the point that it grows to the amount that i need.

When I'm left with a little magic power I'll make Ice sculptures like Ice Ape, Ice Knight or other small ones, and try to carve Eldritch Runes on it, to make them stronger and more durable. This way i make my constructs stronger and i get to practice my Runes. I hope I'll make some progress on 'Enkidu' this month, my Runes are good but they are not Grandmaster good.

Now for the Grimoire.

Now there is a loophole for the 5th Condition as well. A small one but still a loophole.

5. Once a stone has been placed on the book cover, no other stones may be placed until the process is completed, the process will take a minimum of 2 months of constant charging under 'Nen' or 'Eldritch magic' or 4 months of automatic charging by taking Eldritch energy itself.

-Releasing your 'Ren' an holding it for a prolonged period of time will slowly increase it, they say it takes one month to add 10 minutes to your Ren stamina.

But instead of just releasing my Ren and letting my 'Nen' go to waste, I will be releasing it but it will all be going inside the Grimoire acting as a boost to speed up the forming of the Artificial Stone. So i will be training my 'Nen' while i boost the Grimoire at the same time.

I put it so it takes 4 months to make on its own. Once the stone has been put in the Grimoire, it will immediately start to gather Eldritch Energy from empty dimensions on its own. With me putting 'Nen' and the eldritch energy i gather i just speed up the Process.

A 'Nen' ability that doesn't have loopholes is not a good one. I put several in mine.

When i finish all of that I'll be left exhausted. So I'll meditate on the Mind Stone and see what i can comprehend while i rest. When I'm full power I'll just repeat it all over again. I'll change things up with Astral State, and drugs from the Shop to keep me energized and going.

I hope I don't die from this. Yeah right, I'm too good looking to die. So that means only victory is left

General Pov (5 hours in the charging)

"This is more taxing than i imagined" One of the Grandmasters beside the Ancient One spoke out

"Haha, what's the matter Wakar? Feeling old?" Joked the grandmaster next to him

"We are the same age Wilson. Stop being a smart ass and let me focus, we have many opportunities to study the Time Stone, but we have never had the chance to look at it when it is this active. So stop yapping and focus!" Grandmaster Wakar growls

"Grandmasters I think we can all agree that both of you are too old for childish squabbles. I suggest you prepare yourselves, the new and weaker students will start drooping from mental exhaustion right about now, so we will have more pressure to deal with. Oh and Grandmaster Wakar iIsuggest you try to relax a bit, you wont be able to comprehend anything by pressuring yourself." The Bald One delivers words of wisdom

"Yes. Ancient One" "Thank you. Ancient One" Wilson and Wakar say at the same time,

The rest of the Grandmasters start snickering at them for being scolded like children. While the Masters watch with gaping mouths at their Teachers, never have they imagined that they would act like this.

The Bald One sighs 'This will be a long and tiring day'
