Chapter 81: Time to grind (2)
After getting the go ahead from Liora, Akasha turned to Jovian and said.
"You will be coming with us, I will explain everything to you once we get to our destination."
"Alright as long as you don't plan to kidnap me or something I'm fine." Jovian said jokingly
Hearing this Akasha grinned and then he teleported them all to his dorm. Once inside of the dorm he looked at Raven, Elara, and Lyria.
"You three can go ahead we will be there soon. I want to talk to him about a few things." He told them.
The three nodded then went into The Sanctuary. When they left Akasha casually moved to sit on the couch. Seeing this Jovian although curious didn't say anything he simply sat across from Akasha.
He didn't say anything he just waited to see what the guy had to say.
"Alright let's not make this a long story." Akasha began speaking. As he said this, he created a plate of brownies.
Seeing the pastries Jovian eyes widened and spoke.
"I knew it! You're from Earth too?" Jovian exclaimed. He always had his guesses, but he couldn't be too sure. Seeing a food made on Earth was all the confirmation he needed.
"Something like that, it's a bit confusing." Akasha said while biting into a brownie. He then continued.
"Look, I'll be straightforward with you. I'm creating a force that's completely independent from Kalpa. I have some big plans, and I need loyal comrades. So, tell me, what will it take for you to join me?" He spoke in a casual tone.
"A force? Why are you doing something like that though, isn't that what The Academy is for?" Jovian asked before answering.
"Come on now Jovian. You're a transmigrator I'm sure you've read novels and comics before. We are in a world of power and endless possibilities. I'm sure you want to see everything this beautiful world has to offer right?"
Hearing this Jovian fell silent. He knew that Akasha was correct, but he still didn't want to do something just to be doing it. So, he said
"What's the catch? I know you want loyalty, but what do you truly want Akasha?"
"What I want, huh? Well, I just want to see. I want to see all there is to see, the realms people are scared to venture into, the wars, the peak of power... I want to see it all. But I don't want to see it alone. I want to start something that would shake the very fabric of reality." As Akasha said this his passive aura began to shift.
He began to leak a battle aura, but it was more than a simple battle aura. This aura reflected his feelings and right now he was motivated. He wanted to see and experience all the peaks in life. But in order for him to do that
'I need power!' He thought internally before he turned to look at Jovian who had a massive smile on his face.
When Jovian heard Akasha words he was already on board, but when he felt the aura of Akasha something clicked. It was like his suppressed desires were forced to come out. He too wanted to explore and have blood pumping battles.
What transmigrator didn't?
Jovian while smiling said
"Haha, I'm in! Just save some fun for me in the future!"
Hearing this Akasha smiled and spoke
"Good, now let's go meet with the others."
After he said this, he moved them both into The Sanctuary.
-----
Inside The Sanctuary the group of women were all gathered waiting on Akasha. Amy and Celeste had already gotten the chance to meet Luna and Elysia. They were shocked by the beauty of both The Sanctuary and the two spirits. For them who grew up as orphans this all felt like a dream.
Appearing behind the group of ladies were Akasha and Jovian. When they appeared Jovian like everyone else was stunned.
"Holy shit! Dude where are we?" He looked and asked Akasha
"Heh, this is my personal realm, The Sanctuary." Akasha said with a grin.
"This is... unbelievable. Did you get transmigrated with some OP system or some shit?" He said half-jokingly.
Hearing the two voice the ladies turned around and made their way over.
Luna who heard what Jovian said to Akasha laughed and spoke
[Haha, you have no idea.]
Hearing the voice that sounded ancient, but like a beautiful ancient?
It was hard to describe, but it was utterly hypnotizing. Seeing the face the voice came from Jovian froze. He stood with his mouth wide open and his finger weakly pointing in Luna's direction.
"G-Goddess!" He exclaimed and then he looked at Akasha who still had the sly grin on his face.
"No, my wife or she will be at least." Akasha said casually as he approached the women and gave them hugs.
Excluding Celeste and Amy, these two were new and he didn't have any plans for them. They would be his subordinates unless he changes his mind in the future.
Jovian brain practically exploded hearing Akasha's response.
"This is so unfair. You get a beautiful realm, lovely wives, probably some OP cheat and I get picked up by some old geezers. Tsk" he said
"Haha, my friend it will get better before you know it." Akasha said and then he turned to focus on the entire group before he continued.
"Alright, let's get things started. Since we have a year before the expeditions start, we will spend every moment in here getting stronger. For us it will be two years, that should be more than enough time to reach Early Rebirth rank. I have more rule stones that you can use to increase your comprehensions too, so you don't have to worry about that.
Raven and Elara you two can continue as normally just let me know if you need anything. Lyria you will undergo evolution and then you will then be able to begin on the inheritance. Jovian, Amy and Celeste you three will also undergo evolutions." He spoke.
He wanted everyone to be ready by the time seclusion ended.
Hearing this Raven, Elara and Lyria nodded as they understood what he meant. Lyria was informed by Luna and Elysia, so she was fine, but the other three were confused completely.
"E-evolution?" Celeste asked from the side.
"Yea what do you mean by that?" Amy added
Jovian on the other hand was worried about something else.
"You said 2 years.... Don't tell me you have some sort of time dilation?"
He knew just how absurd something like that was. He even had a time-based law, and he was nowhere near close to be able to do even the slightest time dilation.
"By evolution I mean you will basically upgrade. Your talent, bloodlines, and everything else about you will increase by a major rank. And yes, this realm moves twice as fast than outside, and the energy is also twice as pure."
Hearing this Amy and Celeste simply nodded. They had more questions, but they figured it would be better to experience it.
Jovian sighed and slowly accepted this nonsense.
"Alright let's begin. Warning the evolution will be painful, but it won't take long so just endure it."
As he said this, he begins their evolutions.
And
"FUCKKKKK!"
"ARGHHHH!!!"
"AHHHGHH!!"
"AHHHHH!"
Four blood curling screams echoed throughout The Sanctuary
