85 Chapter 82 - Golden Core
Having spent a whole quest with Mavis who were happy running around the children and using her magic to cast illusion. While Caelum used his Ice Magic to cost a snow causing the children to play snowball and throw around the place. The event was extremely fun where Mavis with Caelum was silently taking a break when Mavis threw a snowball at his face making her giggle but stopped when he threw one at her.
It was an exciting day since Caelum never had the chance to have a snowball fight for quite some time since the climate of his region where his old city was located never had snow. The last time he had an exciting winter was when he was just a kid like the orphans.
He smiled when Mavis became exhausted and fell asleep in his lap while Caelum stroked her hair. She seems to be having a wonderful dream while her hands seem to tighten, not wanting to let go of whatever she is holding. Caelum tried to remove his hand only for her to catch it and place it back.
'How cute. Sleep well, Mavis. I won't go anywhere.'
Caelum took the opportunity to remove her curse yet unfortunately she had already become immortal because of him. Though, her body would eventually grow and mature.
[ A/N: Send any Adult Mavis or someone with similar looks. ]
After a while, Mavis started to wake up feeling groggily, then she soon realized that she fell asleep on Caelum's lap and became embarrassed to even try to wake up.
"Did you enjoy your nap?"
"Eek!"
"Relax, no need to be embarrassed. Hope you didn't feel uncomfortable sleeping in my lap."
Caelum already notices that she woke up causing her to make a weird noise in surprise but quickly calms her down not wanting to tease her only chuckling a bit. However, Mavis still feels flustered to even try to answer him.
"N-No, It's fine. I was comfortable-I mean I enjoy-No! I mean-"
"Calm down, I understand. Just...take the moment."
He gave a calming smile as Mavis got up from his lap and sat next to him. Mavis tried to calm herself and stayed beside Caelum who remained looking at the setting sun.
Eventually, the two spend the night in the orphanage and return back to fairy tail to find Yuri feeling defeated.
"Yuri! Are you alright? Why is he like that?"
"What the hell happened to him?"
"I-I can't believe it...."
Mavis tried to cheer up who had an expression as if life had been drained from him. Caelum confused turned to Warrod who went closer and whispered to his ear.
"He almost got laid only to find that the woman was actually a man and a member of the dark guild."
"....my condolences."
"We got the reward but….for what cost."
'Everything, I guess."
Caelum thought while giving a small prayer for his friend couldn't help but inwardly laugh.
============
Caelum was now within his Grimoire dimension. After having spent exactly a year in the fairy tail guild and finally completing the stabilization of his new form.
"Guess let me have a taste of this fruit."
He grasped the fruit before biting down into it. Caelum instantly felt a surge of energy flowing through his abdomen throughout his body and then soon his pupil changed producing a unique golden yin yang symbol that had a third addition.
[ Image here, just imagine it gold ]
All of the energy within Caelum's meridians had been poured into his dantian. All of his energy was constantly forming into tiny grains, slowly spinning into an energy cyclone. The more it spun, the closer they approached the center, finally settling at the center of the cyclone and condensing into a spinning crystal core.
This was… the Revolving Golden Core.
The reason that the Revolving Golden Core was called 'revolving' core, was because the core was always spinning.
When a martial artist was in the Houtian or Qi refinement realm, their dantian had just opened and their energies were in chaos. With no regulations at all, the efficiency of this true essence was naturally low. When a martial artist reached the Xiantian realm, the true essence would form a stable true essence cyclone in their dantian, increasing the efficiency by another level.
However, the total amount of true essence wouldn't increase by too much. Finally, when a martial artist arrived at the Revolving Golden Core realm, the energy cyclone in their dantian would condense into a revolving energy crystal core, with their total amounts of energy increasing by a large margin!
The spinning energy turning into a crystal core was just like some celestial bodies of the universe turning into a rotating form. The human body essentially became a miniature universe.
Caelum began to recite the [ Sacred Scripture ] and the effect instantly caused a rupture of energy within his body to violently spin around like black hole. It greedily absorbed the energy that started to endlessly gather energy. He was akin to bottomless abyss and constantly absorbed it into his abdomen. The size of his Golden core was only the size of walnut yet that alone had more energy than any other people.
Normally, the faster a Revolving Core spun, the more volatile and active the energy was within, meaning that when it erupted all at once, it would be much more terrifying.
At this time, the Revolving Core in Caelum's dantian reached the finale of its condensation process. The Revolving Core no longer changed in size, instead beginning to take its final form. The surrounding energy within the dantian completely gathered onto the Revolving Core, continuously streaming onto this crystalline core.
The Revolving Core became increasingly round. When it was around 99% formed, the energy within the dantian began to suddenly accelerate!
At this time, the energy crystal core became the incarnation of a voracious monster, completely and recklessly swallowing all of the energy in Caelum's dantian, leaving it empty of energy. This caused every single bit of Energy in Caelum's body to converge into his dantian like an ocean falling into a sinkhole.
Caelum's dantian became a powerful bottomless pit of suction. It set off a massive whirlpool of Energies, sweeping in all of Caelum's energies.
He witnessed the appearance of his Dantian. It was just like when a star of the universe collapsed into a white dwarf star or neutron star. Once it collapsed, the mass would stay the same and the size would decrease but the gravity would experience a massive leap upwards!
When the cyclone within a martial artist condensed into a Revolving Core it was also a similar process of collapsing. The instant that a Revolving Core formed, because of the intense suction, it would completely condense all energies into the dantian.
Within the void of the dantian, the newly condensed crystal core would cause a massive whirlpool, sucking in all the surrounding energy and leading the total true essence amount to have a massive leap.
This sort of leap would bring doubled or even quadrupled strength. Not just that, but after the Revolving Core formed, this sort of true essence crystal core would continuously maintain this attractive force. This was the reason that a Revolving Core martial artist far surpassed a Xiantian martial artist in condensing energy towards their dantian. Whether it was cultivation speed, endurance, regenerative ability, everything would rise.
Caelum knew exactly that the Dantian would give birth to a universe once he reached the nascent soul then his going through the transformed god to face tribulation then he would reach the Nine Divine Shift.
However, in order to do so he would need to learn laws to understand the foundation of maintaining a world. He kept reciting the profound words of the [ Sacred Scripture ] until his Golden Core once again violently erupted expanding his Dantian into an endless void having been blessed by the Incorporeal Void energy that had a core made from Primordial Chaos with other energy orbiting it.
'So this is the Golden Core huh?'
Caelum having completed the progress that took him a whole real time month having collapsed the time dilution that was placed. It ended up being absorbed by his core in the process. He had grown a significant amount where a simple thought could kill someone if he wanted them dead.
His eyes shimmer, having different pupils quickly use the [ Illusionary Essence Art] to hide it where only visible for him. He could feel the subtle change of control flowing through his eyes. The Yin and Yang release was the perfect technique that would help in using his energy.
[ You have gain Chakra energy ]
[ You have gain Tensei Rinne-sharigan ]
'Oh a fusion of Tenseigan and Rinne-sharigan huh…I wonder if I have a chakra cloak.'
Caelum tried channeling the chakra that began to shroud itself into his body forming a halo like ring behind him with truth seeking orbs.
'Cereza, are you dare?'
[ Always and I know what your going to ask therefore I made the list of what power you acquired after obtaining Tensei Rinne-sharigan. ]
[ Tensei Rinne-sharigan ]
[ Abilities:
All known Tenseigan, Mangekyo Sharingan, Rinnegan and Byakugan abilities.
Chakra mode
Mandala - Ignored defense. As long the user see the enemy with their eyes then it will always hit. ]
'Interesting…'
He muttered knowing full well what the powers that he's been given are capable of. There are the Six paths, Tsukuyomi, Amaterasu, Susanno, etc. It gave him an edge in battle, especially the Mandala that allowed him to ignore defense.
'Does it include my spiritual sense and the near 360° ranges of a Byakugan?'
[ Yes, the only defense you can't fight is those that have defense capable of distorting space and time. ]
'Still that's a bit extra…that aside let me try something.'
Caelum tried using a combination of skills and energy to instantly create another chakra fruit within his hand having contained the same energy as before. He used Izanagi that contains both [ Dream ] and [ Incorporeal Void ] energy that was able to create something that shouldn't be possible.
The eyes act as conduit for his energy to flow outward without any blockages or wasting any of the energy. At the moment, he was able to draw out at least .80% output of energy than the .10% that he's been using.
He could farme the chakra fruit and give them to his wife to make them stronger. Furthermore, the Tsukuyomi would be useful in casting illusions and helped him spend time with his family in different dimensions for numerous years in a fraction of second.
His ability with illusion could be viewed as real since he can flip fantasy into reality. Caelum was pleased that the power flowing through his body was unfathomable. Caelum went to look into his spiritual Sea and found that the [ Soul Warming Lotus] was nourishing his Golden Core. It wouldn't take long for him to acquire the primal infant and gain physical soul.
Caelum finished up training by consolidating his energies that constantly spinned around his Dantian. Once everything was over, he headed back to his family and shared the great news.
"Woah, your eyes look…Odd?"( Noelle )
"You said this came from a fruit?" ( Irene )
"I don't need no weird eyes, I'm content with my strength and didn't want to get power that I didn't earn."(Mereoleona )
"Me too, I have to pass for now."( Charlotte )
"Alright, but my offer is still up. Anyway, does anyone want to spend years with me?"
They were eager to learn how the Tsukuyomi works and soon cast the illusion where he was able to see everything at the same time without sharing a clone. The illusion could be considered within a different dimension of a false world where he was able to spend more time with his family for exactly several hundred years.
Caelum was content with his newfound power having gained the benefit that could help maintain his relationship with his wives. Though, it felt cheating but that's how things are. The power given to him was no different than a tool to satisfy a woman.
For a normal person to have is not impossible but difficult to maintain since the girls would feel jealous and neglected as time goes. That's the last thing Caelum wants.
