Chapter 402 - Awakening
From his skin to the tendons, eyes, bones, mana core, mana vein, and even his soul world core, everything was enveloped in the white-silverish glow that shone brightly.
Jason's body began to release the white-silverish glow, filling the surrounding area where only he and the Owl-bear were left.
However, that was not everything as his four soulbonds began to shine in the same glow!
It was dimmer but Artemis, Scorpio, Solaris, and Petri felt that something about them was to change.
Meanwhile, Jason was still sitting in the center of the mana vein, attracting huge streams of mana that began to flow towards him at a rapid pace.
It was eager to enter his mana core and mana eyes, whose desire and demands to absorb more mana more increased manifold.
Their desire turned into unparalleled height and Jason couldn't even ask himself how he should be able to saturate this desire!
The sheer mass of mana that weighed on him suppressed Jason who was unable to move a single inch.
After he had forced his eye to open, which released a dense golden glow that had begun to intertwine with the white silverish glow, the weight seemed to have become lighter, but it was still difficult to move.
It was not as uncomfortable as before when his mana eyes began to act on their own accord out of the sudden.
The golden-silverish color that had small white-colored traces within began to envelop Jason tightly.
This allowed the mana that had already been attracted by the white-silverish mana to enter his body and act according to Jason's intention.
Shocked about the fact that the golden-silverish hue could move around the mana in his surroundings and even within his body, Jason compared it to an extension of his own body. Unfortunately, he couldn't find a different word to explain what he sensed right now!
It felt similar to the time when he summons his soulbonds body part through the fortified soul conjunction, with the sole difference that the golden-silverish hue belonged to him alone.
Suddenly, the amount of mana streaming inside his mana core and mana eyes increased drastically as Jason heard a loud roar next to him. This roar didn't feel like it stemmed from his soulbonds or a beast that was about to attack but more likely from a beast that was overjoyed or filled with pride because it had achieved something.
However, Jason who had been unaware of anything in his surroundings, used his sheer willpower to open his eyes, only to look into compressed mana and the eyes of a bear-shaped existence that had the appearance of an owl.
Yet, instead of being scared, Jason could instinctively tell that the Owl-bear, which was the name he called it, had been using the white-silverish glow that filled the small cavern hall, in which they were.
From the looks of it, the Owl-bear was about to break into the rank above the Monarch rank, and Jason could already see a large, slowly rotating crystal enveloping three of its 9 solidified prismarine crystals.
Feeling its joy, Jason couldn't help but smile, as he took a deep breath before he followed the words, the Celestia Yaldra, his father had told him.
After talking with his father for a few minutes, Jason was unsure what exactly he should think of him, but one thing was sure!
He had loved his mother and the longing gaze in Yaldra's face was something that Jason couldn't forget.
As such he was finally ready to accept the bloodline of the Celestia race which he had tried to deny by any means.
This didn't mean that he would neglect the fact that he was a human, one with extremely precious mana eyes at that.
From what he sensed earlier, the golden glow his eyes had released belonged to him while the white-silverish glow was something he had yet to accept entirely.
Doing this would mean he accepted and acknowledged his Celestia bloodline.
But, instead of forcing the white-silverish hue to accept him, which would indirectly indicate that he had to be accepted and not that he accepted his bloodline, Jason decided to take the most radical way he could think of.
Thus, he didn't try to control and retract the while-silverish hue!
Jason used the huge stream of mana around him to insert it control it carefully, inserting it into his eyes.
The golden glow around him intensified as it began to enlarge, overwhelming the white-silverish glow in his surroundings.
But that was not where it stopped! The golden glow began to annex everything in its surrounding, from every particle of mana to the white-silverish color, everything had been suppressed and taken over by the golden glow.
Using the mana it annexed within a moment to enlarge further, the whole mana vein began to glow in a dense golden-silverish light with faint, white stripes squirming inside it.
The golden light seemed to be more dominant until Jason was able to perceive that the white-silverish light seemed to retaliate.
While he tried to focus his mind on both what happened in his surroundings and trying to control the amount of mana his mana core was absorbing, Jason could tell that a huge fight was about to start within him!
It was not that his human part was being dominant, trying to fight against the Celestia race's inheritance he was about to accept for the first time in his life.
Rather than that, it was more like both the human and the Celestia part of his genetics, were trying to get to know each other.
The only aspect the golden glow that stemmed from his eyes had forced was the encounter between both sides of the same coin.
One could say that his mana eyes were the only part about Jason that belonged to both races, the human and Celestia race.
Even though Jason knew that his mother had unique eyes, even without his father telling him about their past, his eyes were something else, more unique than his mother's!
As such, he had thought that he could use his unique mana eyes to annex everything, forcing it to stay together and get to know the other side of the coin.
After the Owl-bear perceived the golden-silverish hue, it began to shiver in fright, sensing that something huge was about to happen.
It had already reached the Low-Prismar stage a while ago and didn't have to use Jason's aura as a means to comprehend the following cultivation aspects.
As such it decided that it was finally time to leave the crowded area.
Yet, after deciding that it wanted to leave, it sensed that the surrounding area was completely filled with the golden-silverish hue that seemed to restrict its spatial affinity for the time being.
Forcing its way through the spatial restriction that was not especially strong at Jason's current capabilities, the Owl-bear opened a spatial portal through which it stepped.
However, that it appeared right next to Shane, Dalia, Emily, and the batch of soulbonds that was absorbing the surrounding mana to break through their current shackles had been an accident!
What they didn't expect was that their mana absorption race increased by a large margin when the golden hue, something they had only seen from Jason before, had begun to envelop the entire mana vein.
Nobody expected the sudden appearance of a beast that was several times stronger than Shane, yet, instead of attacking them, the Owl-bear stared at Artemis, Scorpio, Solaris, and Petri in shock before it manifested a spatial portal below them.
This spatial portal threw them straight to Jason, leaving behind his shocked masters and Emily.
After that, the Owl-bear left the mana vein by manifesting another spatial portal.
"What the hell happened?" Shane mumbled, barely being able to perceive that they escaped death by a hair's breadth.
There was nobody who could answer his question.
If someone were to tell him that this was a gift from the Owl-bear, to Jason, who had made it possible for the beast to break through the shackles of the rank it was already stagnating for the last three centuries, he would probably call this person insane.
Despite his disbelief, this was exactly what had happened and Jason, who was still trying to find the balance between his two heritages that tried to have the upper hand.
This was important as it decided Jason's future path and which heritage would become more important for Jason's future development.
Nevertheless, using the golden glow his eyes released, fighting against each other had become impossible, forcing them to accept each other at a slow and steady pace.
Jason's origin as a human and Celestia had yet to accept each other completely, as the golden glow had already annexed every little trace of the white-silverish glow, before they started to intertwine, fusing into one entity.
The golden color was slowly marked with white stripes that spanned through the whole area it had enveloped, while the silver gleaming color intertwined with the golden color turning into something he had never seen before.
If Jason did describe what his mana eyes perceived, it would be the aurora lights in three colors at once; gold and silver as main colors while the white marks highlighted the rest.
He had already noticed that his soulbonds appeared next to him, but they were currently using the humongous quantity of mana in order to fuse the white-silverish stigma that had manifested on their body with it.
When Jason saw this, he was confused for a moment, however, it was definitely not something bad as he sensed that his soulbonds became much stronger through it.
As such he was able to continue with what he was supposed to do to complete his awakening as he retraced the golden-silverish hue, with white marks spanned through it, at a rapid pace.
'Now...to the painful part!!'
