The Oracle Paths

Chapter 766 Gold Myrtharian

Crunch, crunch...

Jake proceeded to chew and gobble emotionlessly the metal mountain in front of him. He had turned off the miniaturization and with all those Aether Sun Cores, his over 5m tall incandescent body was glowing with white light and blazing heat.

In this state, it was impossible for these metals not to melt. Orichalcum quickly became as soft as a marshmallow, while Adamantium, known for its indestructibility, melted like everything else.

Once his stomach was full, Jake would take a short break and concentrate on channeling all that heat and energy into his stomach, turning his digestive system into a super furnace. Slowly, the metals dissolved, passing through the pores of his small intestines into his bloodstream and then into his cells.

The Orichalcum, solid, resistant to temperature variations and an excellent magic conductor, began to penetrate the neurons of his brain, the walls of his blood vessels, his muscles and even his bones to a certain extent.

The Mithril, also very durable and capable of detecting evil, liquefied much more easily, fusing with his cells without difficulty.

The Adamantium, virtually indestructible, merged with his skeleton, claws and teeth, and to a lesser extent the rest of his cells, making him more and more unbreakable.

The other magical materials in his collection that Jake had purchased or stolen melded even more easily into his cells, bringing him unknown benefits. Xasnite, Magnazi, Oranium, Ashix, Tuskalt ect... So many materials whose names he had learned only recently and that he had decided to include in his diet to optimize his odds of success.

Before he knew it, as his bones, teeth, muscles and organs grew stronger, the speed at which he was gobbling up the mountain of metals only increased. The Adamantium that had seemed so difficult to bite into suddenly didn't hurt his teeth so much and the consecutive cycles of chewing and digesting became shorter and shorter.

The two sisters were left at a loss for words by this unusual feast and their disbelief only grew with each passing hour. Jake was not aware of it, but from their vantage point they could clearly see his size and weight increasing.

At first the pile of metal was almost as high as he was, but after a few hours it was only up to his waist when he had only eaten 20% of it. At the same time, the molten rock beneath his feet began to behave frantically, changing its state of matter rapidly under the influence of invisible forces. Sometimes an electric arc would flash in the air and then immediately disappear as if it had never existed.

The two sisters were well aware that they had to train even harder if they wanted to have any hope of catching him, but at this moment they were just mesmerized by the show. To see him evolve before their very eyes into something incomprehensible was a rare sight that they could not miss.

At long last, an indefinite time later, Jake reached out and grabbing only air he realized he had eaten the entire stack. He felt a little unsettled for a moment, but soon he felt the changes inside his body and after immersing himself in the magma, he closed his eyes, entering a very deep trance.

Hours passed and the two sisters began to train as well, absorbing the Aether Sun Cores' heat and light to nurture their own Firelight Cores. Jake remained motionless the entire time, completely losing track of time and reality.

As the three of them were training, the Myrtharian Nerds began to show up on their own or in batches, but without Jake to receive them on the surface, they could only set up camp in the Wilderness, several kilometers above him.

The goblin couple Xort and Niss were among the first to arrive with a squad of hobgoblins belonging to a tribe they had rescued. Among the first batch, there were also humans like Hephais, Nicolet, Ingranus the Bold, Kelly and her brother Khal who seemed to have recovered from their soul injuries etc...

In the second batch, Lucia arrived with her army of knights and Dragonids. The impact of their footsteps shook the earth and the makeshift camp of the first Myrtharian Nerds was soon ready for war. It is only when they recognized the resplendent blonde female warrior that they finally relaxed.

Lucia felt terribly upset that she couldn't meet up with Jake right away, but without Gerulf or another Kintharian it would be a waste of time unless she was willing to drill into the earth's crust for several kilometers. In the end, she had no choice but to give the order to set up camp and be patient.

In the third batch, an overwhelming presence erupted above them, a gigantic shadow spanning the forest for over half a kilometer. Looking up, their jaws dropped to the ground at the sight of a humongous Eastern Black Dragon.

Compared to the appearance of Lucia and her army, the ordinary members were in a state of total panic. If not for the powerhouses like Hephais, Ingranus and Lucia, their group would have scattered to the four winds without looking back.

Very few of them had seen Sigmar's appearance in the flesh, but Hephais was one of them. Recognizing the black-haired man in the sky, a feeling of immense relief crossed his face, then very quickly reverted to the cold, calm demeanor of an assassin.

Once his identity was revealed, the initial panic was replaced by elation and Sigmar and his dragon mingled with the group seamlessly. When Hephais told the others who Sigmar was and what he was capable of, their admiration turned to respect.

"Sigmar no longer exists. Now just call me Hade." The young man smiled amiably.

As he talked with them, he was surprised not to see Jake, the reason for his coming. When Lucia repeated Peter's message, a weird expression showed on his face. He cast his gaze to the earth and the corner of his lips curled up slightly.

"You won't have to wait for him much longer. He's awake." Hade announced in an enigmatic voice.

*****

Kilometers underground, a sudden roar of laughter rang out, an oppressive aura suffusing the magma chamber where Jake and the two sisters were staying. Near the heart of the Aether Sun Cores formation, a six-meter giant was levitating within the lava, the magma he had been immersed in seconds earlier forming a void sphere around him, as if a solid wall prevented him from approaching this human.

When Jake inspected his Oracle Status, a grin of ecstasy lit up his face.

"Lost Divinities, wash your neck clean for me, because it's payback time. This time, we'll see who runs away with their tail between their legs."
