Playing around with his soulbonds for the past few days released the entire tension that had accumulated within Jason.
Becoming stronger might be important, but what use did strength have if he couldn't enjoy his life even a little bit.
Solely pursuing strength had never been his goal, in the first place, and it was just a means to achieve what he wanted to do.
In the end, his priority had always been to protect those he loved and owing to unfortunate encounters he had been unable to do that in the past.
Thus, he was becoming stronger, using the vast majority of his time and focusing on this.
Other than protecting those he loved, Jason wanted to find out more about himself.
This included his heritage, what was the connection between his mother and the Chaos Emperor, who that truly was, and much more.
His father was still someone mysterious and unknown to him, but that was, even more, the case for his maternal grandparents, who he had never met.
This was something he also wanted to do, search and meet his grandparents, which meant that they had to be alive, which Jason was oddly certain to be the case.
All of this required strength, and even more so for something he was currently working on- taking revenge against those that were responsible for the death of Scorpio and his masters!
This meant that not only would he visit the Ifrytor race in the future, but also the Myöldra and Burane race because they were the main culprits of the entire mess they had turned his life into.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64ce79d606107d003c23ea27", id: "pf-5140-1"})This would give him the peace he required to search for the Chaos Emperor, who would hopefully give him some intel about his grandparents.
His father could wait for the time being and the same could be said about Wisse, the halfling dragon, who he had almost forgotten about.
Jason was not sure if it would be useful for him, but meeting up with Wisse's master might help him somehow.
As such, he tried to remember the dragon, even more so because Wisse's master seemed to know something about Chaos energy.
It might be advantageous if he were to be clueless about where to start searching for clues regarding the whereabouts of the Chaos Emperor!
With the realization of his priorities, strength might not be his main goal, but it was the means that allowed him to achieve all goals he had in mind.
Thus, paying attention to his advancement progress was important, but not in an obsessive manner.
For now, he decided to play with his soulbonds.
If one were to be observant, it wouldn't even be difficult to figure out that his bond with his soulbonds became much stronger, the more time he spent with them.
It sounded ridiculous, but it was exactly what he meant.
The firmer his connection with all soulbonds became, the stronger he would become, including the wide range of means he could use to fight against opponents.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})Being able to let each of his soulbonds occupy his mana core would be a good start, and the next task would be to be able to fuse with any of his soulbonds.
Unfortunately, the fusion process was not something all soulbonds could do with him just like that.
Solaris' soul connection with him was much firmer than his soul connection with Petri was.
Yet, Petri could fuse with him, but Solaris was unable to do so.
Jason was not sure why this was the case, and figuring it out would help him to establish a fortified soul conjunction and find the requirements for a fusion much faster.
While playing with his soulbonds, his mind was overflowing with tasks he had to pay attention to.
One of these things was to try his utmost efforts to attain the highest possible ranking in the Dungeon of the Primordial Descendant's trials.
If it was truly created by Primordials, and he belonged to the Celestia race, not only was it likely for him to be able to procure extraordinary treasures but also to find out more about the Celestia race.
On the other hand, there were also other Primordials that should be like him, belonging to one of the most powerful existences.
However, in that sense, it might not even be the case that the Celestia race was one of the most powerful races as he had presumed earlier.
In the end, he didn't know much about the Celestia race, and everyone's fear and respect for them indicated to him that they were extremely powerful and amongst the strongest existing races!
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})Nevertheless, that might also be wrong, and Jason thought that he shouldn't be too focused on the strength of the Celestia race.
What he needed to work on was achieving a high completion rating so that he could receive the best possible rewards once he had passed all trials.
That was the most important right now, followed by his survival and that of his soulbonds.
Even if he were to fail, that wouldn't be problematic as long as all of them survived because in that case, he would be at least able to complain.
It was far better than being dead or tormented by the thought that he should have been stronger.
[Fourth trial will be initiated. 'Personality' has been chosen as the fourth trial. Write down your honest answers about the given questions!]
Just as he emerged on the other side of the portal, Jason was ready to fight possible opponents after having rested well. He was prepared to possibly even test his limits to strengthen himself, only to notice two things!
First, the trial's task was confusing because he had never expected that he would be requested to do such a mundane task as answering questions.
He ȧssumed that the dungeon should have figured out everything when it had evaluated him.
Despite this, his confusion was even more apparent as he realized the second thing when he had utilized every means to strengthen himself to encounter possible dangers. In fact, he had sensed that his divine energy had already replenished to a certain extent!
Apparently, used up divine energy could slowly replenish, which was something Jason didn't expect because he was not even sure what this divine energy truly was or what it was made of.
However, sensing that it was possible, made him smile. He ȧssumed that this was another difference between the limited chaos attribute and the divine energy that originated from his body.
'That's great!' he thought, only to be pulled towards a wooden desk where huge stashes of files were spread out, waiting for him to start working on!
