"I donāt think itās a bad idea." Xolotl nodded.
"Itās indeed better for you to have 10 million ena. And at least one of us also needs to be at that level. Last time, whether itās Frequency or the alpha class alien, you wouldnāt have been in that situation had you fused with us." Fenrir agreed, worrying about Nathanās well-being.
"And it wonāt be any familiars either." Anubis spoke. "You need a familiar with good defense and offense. The defense is obvious, but right now, your opponents have grown even stronger. Itās better for you to master your elements and let us help you."
"We have divinity. According to the information about the crystal fusion, we might actually help you in this form with our divinity. If you can familiarize yourself with our divinity, it might be easier for you to form your divinity later," added Jinwu.
"Of course, certain steps canāt be ignored. Once you reach 10 million ena and the crystal fusion, I think itās good for you to start thinking about rules. With our help, it might hasten the progress of your divinity, and you have a huge amount of karma. However, it still needs time to nurture that power. The sooner you start, the better," Mae voiced her opinion.
Nathan listened to them carefully. As they said, it was indeed necessary for him to do everything they said. In fact, if he had the same knowledge as they did, he would suggest the same thing.
"I donāt really have anything to say other than accepting you guysā suggestions." Nathan ultimately nodded his head. "Since we are on this topic, how about deciding who will become the first one?"
"!!!" All of them suddenly fell silent.
Mae and Anubis didnāt have much intention of becoming the first ones, considering they lacked defensive and offensive abilities.
On the other hand, Jinwu was good at offense, but his defense was a bit lacking. The obvious choices would be Fenrir, Nidhogg, Orochi, and Xolotl.
Xolotl definitely wanted to be the first one and the strongest so that he could access more of his power. At the same time, he couldnāt really do it because he had told Nathan that he didnāt plan to utilize the crystal form. In other words, he lacked the second requirement, which made him ineligible to be the first one.
Xolotl was thinking hard about whether he should just lower his pride a bit.
The same applied to Orochi. He might be a bit too proud, but he still agreed to the crystal form. His biggest problem was how much he preferred fighting in his original form instead of the crystal form.
In other words, there were only two options left. Fenrir or Nidhogg.
Nidhogg had a dragon scale, and his chaos flame was extremely powerful. Fenrir, on the other hand, was used the most by Nathan.
Nathan smiled wryly and raised one finger. "Why donāt we absorb all the ena first? My soul contract might be upgraded further if I absorb all the cores... Maybe after 25 million ena or something? We can reconsider our decision after that."
They had no choice but to agree. They definitely needed time to think about it.
The harvest this time was not small. No, it was much bigger than what a crystal fusion stage summoner could even think of during their expedition.
Combining the cores from the Endless Prison and the entire trip while subtracting the alpha class core, which required a lot from him just to absorb it, Nathan got:
10 Elite Class Cores.
2 Warrior Class Mutant Cores.
54 Warrior Class Cores.
5 Mature Class Mutant Cores.
339 Mature Class Cores.
11 Juvenile Class Mutant Cores.
1495 Juvenile Class Cores.
5601 Proto-class Cores.
When he looked at the list that had been sorted by Luna, he was quite astonished. The reward was indeed higher than he originally thought.
"I might be able to do a lot with this." Nathan smiled. Thanks to the manual, he could absorb 86% of the coreās ena.
According to the chart, the maximum amount of an elite class core gave 1,900,000 ena. Although the number wasnāt the same for every single alien, he could still get an average of 1,500,000 ena per core.
In other words, the elite class cores alone would give him 15 million ena at the very least. It would have been better if he could have increased his quality in the process, which meant more ena.
If he combined with the rest of the cores, he might be able to get more than 20 million ena, if not 25 million.
Before absorbing the cores, Nathan passed a few messages first. "By the way, Mae. Can you tell Neyeid to buy everything related to the elements? It can be minerals or plants. I think this is a good souvenir for Flora. I plan to let her spirit become ancient spirits once I return.
"Selena and Sera will definitely like the medicine, so thatās it. As for Alavenya and Noelle, I will think about it later.
"Also, with my teacherās advancement to the crystal fusion stage, Iām thinking about giving Revon the medicine.
"I know Revon can become one even without the medicine, but we are about to fight the cults and potentially the Death Society hidden in the dynasty, so it will be nice if Revon can become a crystal fusion stage summoner before that.
"As for Bella and Melissa, Iām not entirely sure whether to give them the medicine or not. It will be good if they can before the final assault on the Death Society."
"Alright." Mae agreed casually. Even Xolotl didnāt say anything. After that day, Nathan could give peopleās gifts with a clear mind, so he wasnāt worried whether this was a correct decision or not anymore.
Once he passed the messages, the familiars returned, leaving only Fenrir, Anubis, and Mae in the room to guard him.
However, Nathan got two surprises from this round of cores.
