Jason was not sure what was the logic behind Argos wanting to create a world bridge that might endanger the entire planet. This was nothing but illogical.
However, thinking that the world bridges had only appeared a few months before the Great Argos war had ended, there were only a few incidents that could have been the cause for the planet to take such a weird decision.
'Is Argos trying to balance out the creation of the permanent world bridge that allowed the Elvyr race to emerge on Argos??'
Somehow this was illogical, yet weirdly logical at the same time, and Jason's thoughts began to churn in his head once again.
However, before he could think about anything, Jason was interrupted by Daphne who continued to ask him questions.
It had already grown dark and it was late at night before they finished their Question & Answer session, leaving Jason extremely tired and weary.
Fortunately, he was able to passively gather and absorb mana. This allowed him to recuperate even faster.
It was not long after Jason went into the room he had been lying unconscious for several days that he looked at the quantum bracelet which he had used to release his book about Argos' insignificance.
The entire Skynet forum was filled with threads about Inja's livestream and Jason was glad to see that nobody was attacking or trolling Inja and the guardian group.
There were those that hated Jason because he was a halfling from another race, another group of those that simply disliked Jason because mankind's attention was drawn towards him, making them feel jealous of his achievements.
Other than that there were those who feared him for his strength and a minority who had begun to think about his words and everything he had stated inside his book thoroughly.
In the end, the idea of a livestream had been much better than he could have hoped for.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64ce79d606107d003c23ea27", id: "pf-5140-1"})After everything was over, Inja explained what she had done. Despite the astonishment and anger, the response to the livestream allowed the young reporter to come out unscathed.
Jason didn't even want to think about what would have happened if the guardian group had been against the livestream.
Now that the livestream was over, it was likely for others to figure out his exact location.
As such, Jason had no other choice but to leave the city.
Thus, he silently left the city without informing anyone about his departure.
However, instead of letting him summon her wings, Artemis told him that she didn't want to be inside the mana core or soul world for now.
Because of that, Jason had to fly on Artemis' back after she had changed to her large form that was 6 meters long and had a wingspan of 20 meters.
Jason was not sure how much Artemis would grow, but that was fortunately not important owing to her size adjusting ability.
Meanwhile, Petri was still coiled around his body.
He seemed to have become as clingy as his other soulbonds, and it was only Solaris, who showed his affection in a different way.
Instead of clinging to Jason, it had simply entered his body to soothe Jason's pain and to stay close to him.
Despite the little inconveniences, Jason liked their clinginess. It was much better than being distant to his soulbonds and allowed him to feel as if he had a real family.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"}) If he were to be honest, Jason had considered them as his family for a long time which was nothing uncommon for soulbonds.
Their next destination was somewhere Jason had never been before. He was not even sure where exactly he was because he had simply followed the direction given by the Elvyr embassy in which the permanent rift was situated.
He was not sure if his assumption was correct, but Jason assumed the forcefully activated world bridge between the Elvyr race's world and Argos to be one issue allowing temporary rifts between one particular world and Argos to manifest.
Jason was not sure if the specific world was the same as the Elvyr race's planet, but it was highly likely.
As such, closing the world bridge that caused the imbalance on Argos would most likely solve the issues.
Fasro might have said that he was too weak to close even the weakest world bridge.
This might be the case, but Jason didn't really bother about that.
He wanted to assess the entire situation through his Emperor Eyes.
If the runes he saw on the temporarily established world bridge that had released the chimeras were the same as on the one his father had forcefully created, Jason would have found the problem.
He could only take one step after another, and the first step was to determine the problem.
The second logical step would be to figure out a solution for the problem, while the third was the experimental phase if one was unable to find a certain answer!
Because Artemis was flying, Jason could focus on absorbing the surroundings mana for the time being.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})Unfortunately, the world bridge that led towards the Elvyr race was far away, and it took Artemis two weeks before she finally reached their destination.
Nevertheless, she was happy to be able to exhaust herself that way.
Not only had the journey made it possible for her to absorb the surrounding mana, but she had been able to freely fly through all kinds of colorful landscapes.
Jason knew that his soul world was way too plain, without anything special around to keep his soulbonds engaged.
Thus, he could only be apologetic to his soulbonds and cooperate whenever it was possible.
Now, they had arrived above the barren region in which the world bridge of the Elvyr race had been manifested.
He had already completed his mana absorption and was staring at the exact location of the world bridge that was still further away.
By utilizing his emperor eyes, Jason could see everything perfectly fine.
This was extremely beneficial, but instead of being happy, Jason's expression stiffened.
Artemis and Petri sensed that something was wrong, but instead of explaining what was going on, he simply asked Artemis to continue to advance further ahead.
Jason's soulbonds felt uncomfortable due to the internal turmoil going through Jason's mind that they were able to perceive.
As such, they tried out something new!
Thus, his soulbonds activated their stigma, and Jason's stigma began to glow faintly as all three soulbonds requested access to see through his eyes.
Jason accepted it because it was not something he could hide either way.
Owing to the stigma, there were three different beings that could see the same thing Jason was currently seeing.
The mana streams around the barren lands were extremely dense and much higher than it was in different regions.
However, that was not what astonished everyone.
Suddenly, Artemis uttered a shriek, while Petri hissed out, apparently baffled by something.
Jason could only nod his head, thinking that their reaction was still somewhat calm.
From the looks of it, the world bridge seemed to be actively draining Argos of its naturally generated mana!
The amount of mana being drained was not small, and Jason couldn't help but think that it was even higher than the compressed amount of mana inside the large mana vein where he had liquefied his first drop of mana!
Yet, worse was the reason for this to happen.
His Emperor Eyes could clearly see a divine, silver aura, forcefully holding together the world bridge that would have long since dispersed.
Apparently, it was not only a temporarily constructed rift, but his father's aura was the reason for both Argos' mana being drained at a rapid speed, and it is perceived as a permanent world bridge!
'Why is father's divine aura still there? Is that also the reason for the new naturally generated temporary world bridges to suddenly appear out of nowhere?'
