3272 Power of Sovereign
“Fuck!” I cursed in wonder, as I looked at my core. It had completely changed.
The first change is the size of the island; it had more than doubled. If I am sensing right, its size had increased by 160%. It lit up my eyes; as with this space, I could grow even more resources.
Since I came here, I had killed a lot of Grimms and planted a lot of seeds. That few hours ago, nearly every surface was covered in plants.
The island had not just bigger, but its soil quality had also changed tremendously. This time, the breakthrough accepted the bubbling tar soul.
Though what it had accepted had the lowest grade; it still affected the core hugely. Every speck of soil, contain immense energy and now my core had truly merged with it.
It is not just the quality of the soil had increased, but the quality of energy also had a tremendous change.
Though, of all things, one thing is making me most happy.
Time.
The rate of flow of time had increased by three times. It had reached the same level as when I was a tyrant. I will need this time, as the inheritance is going to be complex and difficult to create.
More time will help me tremendously.
I looked at all the changes and the smile on my face become brighter and brighter. With this level up, I have got more opportunities and I am going to use them, at their best.
But before I start, I need to do one more thing.
I disappeared from my spot and appeared in front of my clones; it is time to create the sixth clone and, with all the preparation made; I begin immediately.
A little more than an hour passed and now, in front of me, there are six clones. This sixth will be the last clone before I reach the Sovereign.
“Hello, clone,” I said. “Hell, Michael,” said back my clone.
The sixth clone will be an enormous help. There are many tasks in front of me, creating an inheritance, studies of data, alchemy, and artificing; not to mention other things like planting.
Though with new agricultural formations, it will become even easier.
I sent my cores to their jobs; the four went to the library to work on inheritance and study, the fifth one resumed the artificing, while the sixth started to plant the seeds. There are hundreds of seeds, it is needed to plant.
I have collected a lot of resources, more than I had thought, but I still require many resources that I could produce only here.
I looked around for a few minutes and busied myself for an hour before coming out. The Grimms were still there and now their number had increased further. There is another Grimm sitting beside the lizardman and three behind it.
If I am guessing right, then two are Sovereign, while the three behind them are Primary-III.
I want to move at them immediately, but I did not. Instead, an elaborate meal appeared in front of me. It is the one cooked in my core.
I ate it till I am full, before laying down to sleep. The creation of a clone is a tiring process and I want to take the rest before I walked out.
I fall asleep within a minute and woke up, four hours later feeling completely refreshed. What made me even more happy was that Grimms were still there, and they looked pissed.
I smiled at them as I got up and walked toward them.
The smile on my face replicated theirs as I walked toward them, and soon I was out of the boundary.
“You took a long time, worm. I hope you are finished with your preparation,” it said with a grin. “I am. Thank you for waiting,” I said and green, red armor begin to flow across my body.
A shock appeared on my Bearman’s face and Goatmans sitting beside it.
As the aura, I had revealed it of the Sovereign. Earlier, it was of the Primary-III.
“You said it was Primary-III?” said the Violet Horned Goatman to Black Bearman. “It was. He seemed to have made a breakthrough,” replied, with the last work, being barely more than a whisper.
“What breakthrough? All I saw him eating and sleeping,” said Goatman, and Bearman turned angry, not at its friend, but at me.
“Were you Sovereign from the beginning?” it asked, to which I shook my head. “No, I was Primary-II, before I made a breakthrough,” I replied with truth, instead of appreciating it; the Grimm got angry.
“You think you are funny, Hun!” it said angrily. “I am not funny as some people I know, but I could crack a joke or two,” I replied, which made me even more angry.
“I want to see you are still funny when I eat you piece by piece,” he said and a powerful aura blasted out of its body.
I thought it would attack me from long range, like before, but it didn’t. Instead, it is coming at me with an onyx blade ax.
My sword appeared in my hand, and I looked excited as the power in me scream to let it out.
I have made a breakthrough into Primary-III but got the power of the Sovereign. Though, I will need to reach the Sovereign. If I want to regain my lost abilities, like strings and seeds.
Though, currently, I am satisfied with what I have.
“Die, worm!” it shouted and swung its ax at me. I responded with a strike of my own, at a speed that would have been invisible to me a few hours ago.
Clang!
Our weapons clash and a shock appeared on the Apeman’s face. As I remained on my spot, it shook faintly.
“It seemed like you have been hiding greatly,” it said, getting angrier as a bubbling black aura came out of its body.
“I was not hiding. I was truly a Primary II before,” I said, and it made it more angry.
“Shut up!” it roared and attacked.

The power of burst filled me. It is so amazing that I wanted to moan, and I would have if I had not been fighting this Apeman.
Instead, I just swung my sword toward it with a grin on my face.
Clang!
Our weapons clashed again, but this time. It didn’t shake, nor did I. Which seemed to have made it angry as its next attack, was even more powerful.
Clang Clang Clang
I clashed with it, again and again. with our weapons clashing at the speed that is invisible to Primary-III.
Seeing the power, those three Primary-III Grimms, had already moved away.
It is a good thing they only moved away and had not run away. One of them had a bloodline. I am going to harness that.
While it would not be as useful to me as it was before. It will still increase my strength by a little and I need every little I could.
Hun!
A few seconds passed, and I continued clashing with Bearman when a small smile appeared on my face.
Someone who had been watching the battle had decided to join it.
