92 Latent Potential (2/2)
Once the power is drained into my core, the black sphere is reduced to dust. Time is reversed, restoring the sphere again, but it is no longer black.
It is completely clear. There is nothing inside.
Since my power does not restore that pure magical energy within the monster core, I think it isn't just regular magical energy.
I don't want to call this pure magical energy a soul, so I will call it magical essence. It is to differentiate the essence from normal magical energy, which I can duplicate freely with my power.
Sadly, this also mean I couldn't have army of the Hulk. How awesome would that be!?
I could duplicate Bruce, but the monster core of any duplicated becomes inert and useless. I will have to actually hunt down monsters to have an unstoppable magical legion at my command.
Well, Legion is fairly unstoppable right now, but why settle for less?
Since the shaman is dead, and bringing it back is pointless as I have already extracted its memory and learn all of its secrets.
It did take a while since memory becomes fragmented without an actual brain to connect the dots.
Monarch are Kings and Queens in literal sense, but of magical element. The goblin assumes that I was the Monarch of Steel, due to all the metal golems at my command.
Also, I am able to resurrect others into metal goblin. This sounds very familiar.
There is definitely a Monarch of Shadow, since shadow is a magic element.
Hope he isn't some Korean dude.
The golems in question is my army of soulless armoured knights, armed with laser swords, blades and spears. Their humanoid form is actually not that effective since the human form is really not suited for extreme combat no matter what kind of bullshits all sort of media tries to brainwash the masses with.
Logically, there is really no point of making machines look and act like humans, but it does give a sense of human organizations.

That is all the goblin shaman knows about Monarchs, sadly. It doesn't even know who its master is in person. Its master is just an embodiment voice telling it to do things. It also teaches the goblin magic, thus allowing the goblin to reach 2nd circle despite not being a Hobgoblin itself.
Thanks to that, it knows some wind runes that Hans does not know. But not that many since mages of 1st or 2nd circle doesn't use more than a handful of runes. It does take an insanely long time to master any runes.
I am the exception to the rule because of my time power.
Once I have extracted everything I needed from its brain and body, Yoda is disposed of. I then go and check all the rooms connecting to the hall. Most of the rooms are filled with rotting meats and pile of bones, telling me this particular group of goblins has been at it for a while.
The nursery is the last room to check since seeing all those girls being stringed up like frozen meat do bother me a little bit. They are all dead even if their body is still alive.
Their bloated stomach is filled with twins and triplets. Rarely do they birth a single goblin from what I can tell by scanning their stomach.
I don't like killing babies, especially the unborn but I will make an exception to this case. If these goblins are born, they will just restart the cycle again, starting with their mothers, no doubt.
Before I restore all these innocent people, returning them back to their original life, a groaning is heard in one of the far rooms. It is pitch black there, filling with nauseating stench.
”I will kill… I will kill…”
Someone manages to keep their mind after all of this?
I crouch down to see a carved up human meat, soaked in blood and cum and all sort of shits. And it is a female from what I can tell. Her breasts are actually near the doorway, stomped and squashed.
Her arms and legs are gone, so are her eyes and ears and nose. The last two seems like they have been bitten off. There are so many wounds on her body, but her magical power manages to keep her alive barely.
I could feel an insane rage emanating from her. It actually fuelling her magic and also making it go out of control in the process. Alex and Hans have made notes on this observation.
Power can corrupt. Absolute power can corrupt absolutely. Magic is the same. It can corrupt the mind and the soul of those who have weak will and spirit, twisting their body and mind into an abomination, desiring only destruction.
As such, powerful mages have indominable will and spirit. They have to be in order to remain as master of their power. This could explain why magic has inevitably brought the destruction of the prime reality if it is not regulated and controlled.
”I will kill… I will kill…”
The girl who should be around 15 or 16 chants repeatedly. Even without any eyes, she can definitely see me due to my magic. Her aura grows exponentially, showing her enormous latent potential. There is no doubt that she would have become one of the most powerful mages in Azula.
Sadly, destiny has not been kind to her.
”Kill!”
She roars are her magical aura explodes, shattering the wall and pushing me back a little. That is quite impressive considering who I am. She just jumps from 1st circle to 3rd circle just briefly.
My power activates as I reach out my hand.
”If this is your fate, then fuck destiny.”
