《God's Eyes 》Chapter 301: Facing the problem head-on
Advertisement
The more she spoke, the more sense it made to Dalia as she began to smile lightly, forgetting that her disciple's situation was exactly what she described.
She just continued to speak without looking at Shane and Jason who looked at her with a complicated expression.
"To summarize what I said in context to our small issue, Jason seems to reach his vessel's limit soon, if his soulbonds continue to become stronger at that pace.
More problematic is, however, that you can't really increase your mana core rank as fast as Artemis and Scorpio become stronger thanks to your large mana core size…"
Trying to think of a solution, Dalia pondered for a long time, only to look into Jason's golden eyes that shimmered brightly, showing his uncertainty.
"If your soul world wouldn't be that large, allowing you to bind several dozen more soulbonds, this would be less of an issue and I would just tell you to focus on your current soulbonds.
Once Scorpio reaches his racial limit it would be much easier for you to slowly change the tides by focusing on strengthening your physique with the Netherworld's fort technique.
At the same time, you could absorb mana and increase your mana core rank.
Both absorbing mana and refining your body would strengthen and enlarge your vessel by a large margin, allowing you to bind another soulbond...somewhen in the future, if Artemis' increase in strength does not accelerate further…
However, your soul world is too great to waste it just like that, which is the main issue!"
Dalia sighed deeply and finished speaking before he started to enter her own world of thoughts, trying to figure out a solution, while Shane and Jason did the same.
'So I'm already at a problematic state because I can feel pain and my 'vessel' can barely bear it? Maybe, I can barely reach the 3rd or 4th Master rank with my soul world's amplification before exploding or dying because of the pain which will only worsen….is that what Dalia meant?'
Suddenly Shane shook Jason's body weekly because he was in his own world as Shane said firmly
"You shouldn't think about getting a new soulbond and it would be better if you decrease your soulbonds food's quality and quantity so that their maturity process will take as long as possible.

Didn't you say that both of them should be close to reaching the threshold to be eligible to compress their first mana drop? Tell them that they're not allowed to do so!! Otherwise, with the vast difference between an unblemished- and magical ranked beast's strength, you'll certainly die!
Your soul world's amplification is much higher than most youth's, probably several times that and you shouldn't underestimate the problem you'll have to face!!!"
Hearing the urgency in Shane's voice, Jason could only nod his head.
He was already aware that he had to face some problems but thinking that all of them originated from his soul world's high amplification was hilarious.
In the beginning, the amplification of 33% he received saved him more often than he wanted to acknowledge, and now it was his doom and biggest issue.
When Artemis and Scorpio heard 'decrease your soulbonds food's quality and quantity' they were immediately shocked because they could comprehend what this meant.
Both were about to go rampage, only to hear Shane's last words "You'll die!" which immediately replaced their anger with worry and confusion.
Transmitting these emotions to Jason, he was glad to have established a fortified soul conjunction as it made everything much easier for him.
Explaining the whole scenario as simply as possible without hiding anything important, Jason and his masters could see Artemis and Scorpio's shock visibly.
Artemis screeched out in shock and fluttered violently with her wings, while Scorpio's sounds were similar yet at a higher frequency as his whole 3.5-meter long body rattled.
Over the last three months, both of his soulbonds not only became stronger but also larger.
Artemis' length increased to 1.8 meters with a wingspan of 5 meters if she didn't adjust her size to a length of 1 meter and a wingspan of 3.4 meters which she was able to do since evolving, while Scorpio's body length increased to roughly 3.5 meters.
His width was not much, was more than 2 meters and he could barely fit inside the small house Shane and Dalia bought.
Scorpio was always forced to enter Jason's soul world when they were to enter or leave a room before he could leave once again to appear next to Jason once again.

This was annoying but still better than isolating Scorpio which would give Artemis a reason to ridicule him even more.
They were still rivals to gain Jason's attention but knowing that they were also somehow the cause for Jason to feel so much pain, which they perceived through their fortified soul conjunction caused them to behave without creating a ruckus.
Without any issue, the two accepted Shane's word without even thinking about it as long as it would help Jason to feel less pain.
Seeing this, Jason was thankful that his soulbonds were considerate, otherwise, if they wouldn't listen it would backfire and they would end up injured just like he did, which was not something either of them wanted to do.
It was good that it was easy to convince his soulbonds to change their eating habit which allowed Jason to give less high-quality food with much mana in it to Scorpio and incomplete mana cores to Artemis.
In the end, they were unable to enter the magical rank without trying to compress mana drops which would take lots of effort and time.
With this in mind, Jason would have enough time to find a way to solve his current issue.
There might be multiple solutions for his problem but he had to find the most efficient one which wouldn't turn into another burden later on.
However, this was easier said than done because Jason could only think of one short-term solution after thinking about it for a long time.
And even with this one solution in his mind, Jason was unable to say how soon he might be able to achieve this!
While Dalia and Shane already discussed all kinds of solution, he also heard Dalia saying the same thing he had in mind
"If Jason is able to evolve his black origin flame, his physique and mana core will be cleansed from impurities and enhanced! This enhancement doesn't come from the soul world amplification and changes the physique itself, which should strengthen Jason's body."
Averting her attention to Jason, she asked
"Do you know if your body refining includes the first baptism you received? It should because the baptism strengthens your body and mana core while cleansing it from impurities…."
Because he was still in the earlier Initial-phase of the Netherworld's fort body refining technique, Jason couldn't really prove if Dalia's words were true but he was sure that his black origin flame's baptism was different from his soul world's amplification.
Dalia probably felt the same from her own experience and she would know better than anyone else if the origin flame enhanced her body and mana core directly or if it was the same amplification one received from a normal soulbond because she already underwent multiple baptisms.
Meanwhile, he only received one baptism and Shane never received one which was probably the reason for him to be so skeptical.
"It should but I can't say for sure….Either way, this is the only solution I can think of right now...Other than that, I have really no idea how I might be able to solve the issue with my vessel without receiving any disadvantages.
However, there is still the problem that I don't know what other requirements my origin flame needs to evolve, which is the only issue with this solution...
I wouldn't even care if my soul world's amplification was much lower if it would allow me to bind multiple more soulbonds!"
Dalia nodded when Jason said these words and added
"At least we now have a rough idea of how we can fix your problem to a certain extent without creating more trouble. If your soulbonds don't break into the magical rank accidentally which is not really possible and we search for a solution while you diligently absorb mana and refine your body, everything should be fine…"
Knowing that his master tried to reassure him, Jason was thankful to Dalia, even if it was not really extremely helpful because he was still worried.
Suddenly, Dalia and Jason heard Shane who was deep in his own world mumbling.
"Lower soul world amplification? What about a curse?"

The Rocky Shore
This is a LitRPG series. Every story you read here takes place in the same virtual world, with the same rules and limitations. Characters will travel, explore vast and dangerous realms, overcome obstacles, meet one another, enter into conflicts with one another, forge alliances, make horrible mistakes, and occasionally just die. A technological singularity has been achieved, and humanity has been trapped in a virtual world by a super-intelligent, self-improving artificial intelligence. This program is not malicious at all. In fact, it desires nothing except the happiness and fulfillment of every human it has copied into itself. If its decisions seem strange to you, that's only because its reasoning is far beyond ours. It recognizes that humans cannot be happy without enemies to overcome and goals to achieve, as well as the possibility of failure and death. The world it has created may be heaven or hell, depending on the free choices of the people it contains. The non-player characters who live in this realm have no idea that they are part of a vast computer system. They seem real enough, but there is no way to tell if they are truly self-aware. Even the system that created them isn't certain. This is world in which all the things that humans are used to dealing with in the abstract: skills, talents, knowledge, reputation, social status, morality, even love, exist as readable statistics that players can see and interact with objectively. This has many curious and complex effects on how people perceive themselves and the world around them. A few quick notes on the system: -Death is permanent -The system interface can only be accessed at certain locations. -Magic of diverse kinds is available and useful, but is not a good substitute for skills, physicallity, or mental prowess. Non-magical characters are common and competitive. -There is no inventory system. Characters must physically carry everything they wish to have on their person. -Healing is slow and difficult. Magical Healing is all but unheard of. Protagonists: Raymond Garrison- A man in his late twenties who used to work as a forklift operator in Idaho. His path leads him to work as a mercenary, protecting a small community of humans and goblins from the Seelie Fae who wish to exterminate them. Patricia Chandler- A elderly British woman who arrives in this new world with her grandson Kyle and her granddaughter Elizabeth. Never having dealt with rpg game mechanics before, she is in for a rough time, but she is determined to keep her grandkids alive in a world full of danger and evil. Jamil Mesbah- An Egyptian woman who once worked as a technical writer. Her path leads into a vast and hostile forest, where she must master both her magical abilities and her survival skills in order to succeed. Enjoy your travels, friends.
