Chapter 525: End of Exploration (1/2)

”What amazing Energy Control for a Rank 2 Transcendent… And I only noticed it now… World Sage, you still haven't completed your Mortal Pathway! How did you…? This is something I never thought was possible!” The white-haired old man who was now watching from the sidelines as I absorbed the Chaotic Energy exclaimed.

Ignoring his commentary, I focused on refining this Chaotic Energy.

That's right. Although it could be directly absorbed, one still needed to refine it inside one's body lest one wanted to accumulate Chaotic Properties that would hinder their future Pathways. Moreover, those who had accumulated a lot of Chaotic properties inside their bodies would find themselves restricted inside a world with Source Energy.

Refining the Chaotic properties of the Chaotic Energy was almost the same as those cultivators in novels that were expelling the impurity in their bodies.

I had to flush them out of my system and this was why I told Yuko and the others that I might take days in here. Even though it was easy for me to absorb this Chaotic Energy without experiencing the backlash that anyone would normally get, I had no way to circumvent the slow process of expelling the chaotic waste and refining the Chaotic Energy.

As hours passed, the stagnant 80% progress that was visible in my system began rising.

To give me the sense of progress and slight satisfaction, the incarnation inhabiting my system added four decimal points.

That's a weird way to show consideration…

80.0001

80.0005

80.0018

And while I was continuously absorbing, refining and expelling, time passed as I slowly but surely completed my Mortal Pathways.

Two days later, most of the Heroes and Transcendents had already finished their trials inside both the Armor and Weapon Peripherals Storage Buildings.

To test what they received from it, they began going with their original groups to take on the Automatons that were not less than earlier.

With Daisuke talking with the Artificial Intelligence currently governing the place, the Automatons that should all be deployed to intercept them and patrol every place were mostly disabled.

Due to that, the Heroes and Transcendents finally had the chance to go toe to toe against them without being ganged up.

Apart from them, Daisuke's Companions who also finished their trials and received various benefits befitting of the floors they received gathered on one spot.

They all received Daisuke's message. Moreover, apart from asking them to continue improving while using the Automatons as practice targets and not worry about him, he also asked them to complete the initial purpose of why they began their exploration here.

To get the World Zone Navigator.

Yuko and the others who already remembered part of their previous life's memories informed the other girls what Daisuke failed to elaborate so it didn't take long for them to think of a way to help him.

And due to how there's a lot of them, they thought that they might discover more if they separated, all with different tasks.

One group went to get the World Zone Navigator.

One group went to the unexplored parts to see if there were other valuable items there.

And another group went to look for the Artificial Intelligence that Daisuke mentioned to see if they could do something for it, like bringing it out of this place.
