Chapter 902 260: Aister: Master, I Have All the XP You Want; The Truth of the Magic Monarchs (10K)
Recalling his current predicament, Kael could only choose to meet each challenge as it came after a soft sigh.
His temperament was admirable; though he was dissatisfied with the relentless crises, he never entertained thoughts of retreating to ensure his safety.
The problems lay plainly before him, and without resolving them, peace would remain elusive.
Fortunately, he had now planted a tree in his own Domain; this tree yearned for higher heights, its roots delving ever deeper into the soil. Though it was just beginning, there were already signs of it stabilizing the chaotic Domain.
The range of the Domain of the [Bound God] was expanding.
The point worlds he had implanted were essentially Spiritual Body Worlds supported by the nine Gluttonous Slimes, which had taken on autonomous puppet forms.
These nine Spiritual Body Worlds grew vigorously, their power flowing throughout the area along the path of the Fire Sword, converging in the [Crown] world which held dominion over all.
And so it was, all along, as Kael's Arcane Pet and half of his soul, Aister's promotion speed was fast enough but always one step behind Kael. Under nurturing, Aister successfully accumulated his foundation.
With one final push, the path ahead lay wide open.
But in reality, describing the ten point worlds, including Aister, as [Spiritual Body Worlds] wasn't entirely accurate.
As Kael's Arcane Pet, and a part of Kael himself, strictly speaking, it did not have a completely independent soul, and even its essence and nature would be influenced by Kael to some extent.
An originally imperfect soul could not form a complete mental world.
Whether it was Aister's Spiritual Body World or the other autonomous puppets' Spiritual Body Worlds, they were essentially attachments to Kael's Spiritual Body World.
That is, Rangers had already owned a complete Spiritual Body World before they took the job of becoming a Colonial Knight. Otherwise, Kael doubted that even if someone among them ascended to the Holy Land and possessed the ability to evolve their Spiritual Body World into a Domain, the Domain would ultimately become subordinate to Kael.
Of course... Kael himself also understood that, for the vast majority of people who embarked on the path of professional development, these matters were not something to consider.
Because the pinnacle that ordinary professionals could touch in their lifetime was nothing more than the Extraordinary Rank.
Rather than thinking about whether there's such a possibility in the future, it's better to seize the current opportunities for rapid promotion, which is the mindset of most people.
Just as not many people join the workforce believing they will definitely become billionaires in the future.
Kael took a deep breath, his gaze fell upon the Protection puppet with whom he had the most interaction—Coral. His gaze was directed towards the [Mercy] point where Coral resided.
He began to calm his mind and projected his thoughts towards Coral's [Mercy] world.
Almost at the instant Kael projected his mind onto the [Mercy] point world, the miniaturized phase transfer energy supply device instantly drew a considerable amount of magic power.
Along with the continuous extraction of energy by the treasure tree itself, for a moment, the miniaturized phase transfer energy supply device's energy was somewhat insufficient, causing a temporary lapse.
In the Domain, the vast magic power extracted was transformed into the path of the Fire Sword, soaring skyward and instantly igniting the entire Domain.
The sudden change nearly caused Kael's brain to crash for a moment, but when he came to his senses, he was both surprised and delighted.
"Coral in position..."
He felt the appearance of Coral's voice in his mind, and at that moment, his thinking synchronized into two. Before he could explore this feeling, he noticed the same System panel image in Coral's vision.
Seeing this scene rendered Kael silent for a moment.
In fact, the ability to see the System panel wasn't exclusive to Kael...
Previously, the Gluttonous Slime Queen Aister, being half of his own soul, also had this capability.
However, Aister had no interest in matters regarding the System. She was very clear about her role: being her master's other half, she would prioritize Kael's interests above all else if there was any possibility.
Moreover, Aister had always been a calm figure, never having any chance to free herself.
The Arcane Pets of spellcasters vary, but the contract between Aister and Kael is the most stringent.
This contract affects both parties, a "Symbiotic Contract" where both prosper or suffer together.
However, within the Symbiotic Contract, the constraints between Kael and Aister differ. Most of Aister's soul fragments reside deep in Kael's soul.
Therefore, if Aister dies, Kael will have to pay a considerable price, consuming his Power of Soul, to resurrect Aister.
Similarly, the contractual cost on Aister's side is severe; should Kael die, Aister would suffer a direct soul backlash, almost assuring her immediate demise.
Perhaps it is precisely due to such a harsh Symbiotic Contract that Kael is more tolerant of Aister. Even regarding the System panel, Aister can see Kael's panel due to their soul symbiosis.
Later on...
In her youth, Aister voluntarily chose to relinquish control over her body to better serve Kael, dedicating all her computational power to assist Kael in calculating various magical needs.
