In the beginning, Jason didn't feel anything special, but the moment the golden-silverish hue had been completely retracted into his eyes, they began to hurt as if they were ripped apart.
His entire being had been enveloped by the white-silverish light before the golden glow had annexed it and Jason was able to perceive that he would undergo a metamorphosis.
The white-silverish glow he had annexed and retraced into his eyes was suddenly released, spreading through his eyes.
While the pain in his eyes began to intensify, Jason forced himself to release the majority of it in order to instinctively envelop his skin, tendons, eyes, bones, organs, mana core, mana vein, soul world core, and every single cell in his body with it.
The golden-silverish glow listened to his every command without any reluctance, but instead of releasing a large margin of the golden-silverish color, everything had been unleashed at once.
However, Jason didn't worry about that because it felt natural as if it was the correct path he had to take!
The quality and quantity of the golden-silverish hue within and around his eyes were several times higher than it was in every other area too.
At that moment, the white stigma on his soulbonds' body began to glow up as it began to change, influenced by the transformation of Jason's aura that had been manifested through the primal awakening!
A faint golden-silverish color enveloped the white stigma, trying to be embedded within it.
This was advantageous because it indicated a certain degree of acceptance of the Celestia race's heritage!
The instinctive acceptance was mainly based on the fact that the awakening Celestia bloodline perceived the one trait about the human race that was superior to the Celestia race!
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64ce79d606107d003c23ea27", id: "pf-5140-1"})Mankind's soul-awakening and the fact that they could bind strong beasts to their soul!
However, if there was one aspect the awakened Celestia bloodline had to base the willingness to accept the human heritage, it would be the fact that Jason's soul-awakening was the result of both the human- and Celestia-race's inheritance, exactly like Jason's unique mana eyes!
Unfortunately, this acceptance of his soulbonds and soul world didn't reduce the pain Jason was feeling, even by a tiny bit.
Instead, his eyes and soul were what ached the most!
At the same time, he felt the pain of his soulbonds as the white stigma, which had traces of golden and silver colors embedded on it, fused with their body.
Yet, instead of being able to take care of his soulbonds, Jason felt the need to survive his own metamorphosis first, which was more than fusing with a small stigma!
As such he had to focus on himself while trying to bear with the pain that intensified with every passing second
The mana the golden glow had annexed within the silver light was rapidly used up and Jason was left without any reserve of mana as the golden-silverish glow enveloping his body intensified again.
Suddenly the surrounding mana that had stopped moving for a few seconds were swirling around and to Jason, it was as if the surrounding mana was a small child that had been praised by its mother.
At a shocking velocity, a compressed, dense, and purified stream of mana shot towards Jason whose golden-silverish hue that looked like a paper-thin membrane that was tightly stuck to his body, absorbed everything.
The amount of mana he had absorbed was multiple times that of his masters together and his whole body desire for more did not decrease, instead, it increased!
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})It was only the tip of the iceberg and Jason noticed that his entire being couldn't think of anything else but mana!
Jason was completely unaware about how much time passed, but he knew that his soulbonds had already fused with the stigma, his primal awakening inherited them, several days, if not weeks ago!
He lost the track of time and the only thing he was able to sense was that his physique became stronger, while his mana core had enlarged in size!
Meanwhile, his soul world had changed substantially too!
It had increased several times in size, the golden hue inside it had turned to golden-silverish light while every single affinity the soul world had awoken became more vibrant.
At the same time, the fortified soul conjunction Jason had formed with Artemis, Scorpio and Solaris became thickened and received an additional change which Jason had yet to find out, while his bond with Petri, the newly hatched petrification serpent, became stronger with every single day passing.
After Petri had overcome his trauma with the help of his other soulbonds, he became more active, yet he remained close to anyone around him.
Petri had yet to do something entirely alone and Jason was fully aware of that.
However, he couldn't pay attention to this right now, because he felt that his metamorphosis was about to be completed.
There was only the final step left which was to fuse with the stigma that had formed above his right eye. Jason assumed that it was similar to that of his father which would mean that it didn't look hideous.
Yet, after he was able to think about it, the pain he had felt subsided, he couldn't help but worry about the stigma's appearance.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})'If I walk around, openly showing my stigma, I might as well execute myself right now!' He told himself inwardly.
Only sometime later, he recalled what his father had said about his capabilities and that he was unable to control what he had been given.
Thinking about the aura that indicated him as the descendant of someone from the Celestia race, Jason couldn't help but wonder if it was possible for him to disguise both this aura and the stigma he had yet to fuse with.
'Foreign races can sense my aura either way..that means it doesn't make that much of a difference if I fuse with the stigma too...It might attract more attention but I should be able to cover it once I learned more about the Celestia race! I can't stop my awakening anymore either way! Let's advance straight ahead!!'
Using his surrounding mana that seemed to be waiting to be utilized as a means for Jason to fuse with the stigma.
However, what Jason didn't expect was to notice that the merging process had already been completed a few seconds later.
The only thing he perceived was a large stream of mana being infused in the stigma that had been engraved above his right eyebrow.
After that, there was a short sting he barely felt before the whole process had already been completed.
'Huh? Is that the grand finale?' Jason asked himself somewhat disappointed when he began to sense that his whole body which had been transformed during the last few weeks connected to each other.
Every single cell, that had once belonged only to the human race, accepted the refinement and awakening of the Celestia race's blood, embracing and strengthening each other.
This did only happen after the stigma whose manifestation was the last step of the primal awakening, merged with his body.
It stretched from the base of his nose, spread above his right eyebrow, down to the corner of his right eye, creating a shape similar to a reversed, white glowing wing that had faint golden and silver colored stripes mixed within the white glow.
After everything was concluded, the golden-silverish hue that had enveloped Jason during the whole metamorphosis dissipated, leaving behind a minority of it which Jason could retrace without problems.
Too many things about his body changed and one could even say that Jason himself had changed completely!
There was not one part of his body that hadn't transformed!
He was not sure how much time had passed, but after looking at his soulbonds, he knew that it must have been quite some time.
The best indicator to tell how much time passed was Petri, who had hatched right before he started with the liquefaction process of his mana.
At that time, he was a small, 20 centimeters long green-scaled serpent with brown-goldish colored eyes, However, now he had already reached three meters in size and Jason doubted that this was something that could happen in three days time!!
Taking a look around Jason could tell that he was in the core of the mana vein with his soulbonds that had worked hard.
Smiling lightly he caressed all of them, only to sense that their stigma began to lighten up when he touched them.
At the same time, his own stigma began to glow lightly too, and he was able to sense everything his soulbonds sensed!
This didn't indicate their emotions which were something Jason could already sense before, but every little detail about his soulbond's bodies was perceivable by Jason and vice versa…
It was undeniable that this was scary but Jason thought that this new feature might help to purify Scorpio's mana core and body with Solaris' help!
