Chapter 72 - Develop (1/2)

Breaking through towards the 6th rank was a terribly difficult task for Simon. Using a combination of methods, Simon completely restructured his plethora of power, turning it into a core within his own body. The core itself was not of any significance to breaking through, but it did speed up the process by leaps and bounds. Although only possessing slightly above average talent, Simon bypassed many problems with only the advantage of his mind, reversing his fate into something spectacular.

With the bodily foundations of a war machine and the technique of a killing god, Simon had pushed himself past his primary limits, becoming something that could grow infinitely. Although he may be pushed back by his talent, he will never remain at the same point forever. Somehow Simon will find a way to progress through his memories and processing power. In his own novel, he will not be chained by his own rules, he is above them.

'Legacy core...this is the first time I have condensed one. Not even when I was professor White, did I have enough time to do that. This is completely new to me...I don't even know what the core does yet. There is no indication that I can find out until I try it out.'

'How did I break through? Luck? No.'

'I finally developed it.'

As to what Simon developed, who knows? He might as well give up his final card if he says so much, such a secret would be better to take to his grave and burn along with him...although, he will not need a grave.

”Little darling, it is time for you to leave for the academy.” Malece spoke with a hint of disappointment. Seeing him about to leave, Malece felt like she want him to stay. Although an ant in front of her, she had grown rather fond of her little husband. Without him in the Palace, she felt that she would lose a part of her. In contrast, Simon had no such feelings of attachment, he was happy to leave. Although a nice and homely abode, Simon wished to run away from Malece, anything to rid him of the unwanted burden of that night.

”Dear wife, I will now take my leave.” Simon said with a grin.

'Shame that I will have to return.'

”Did you pack your-”

”Yes, I have already applied the paste to my horns and I have more than enough for my tenure at the academy. I will now lea-”

”Do you love me?” Malece interrupted with a slight blush.

”No.”

”Not even a slight pulse of your heart when you see me?”
