The cave was humming with the remnants of the energy from the eruptions of the orb; the lingering remnants were mixed with the all-consuming void mana that, even up to now, was still consuming the remaining energy from the orb relentlessly as if the two were so archenemies.
Pyris observed everything impassively, watching as the void mana, the nesis of all kinds of mana, consud the orb's energy despite the void mana being little in the cave compared to the energy it was consuming.
"If mortals ever knew how to harness the energy from Void Matter, things could be disastrous, and interesting maybe," mused Pyris, still awed by how powerful Void was.
Void Matter, although it wasn't as powerful as the actual void mana and not as all-consuming, was still powerful enough to cancel and negate mana to a certain extent.
From Rank 1 to Rank 18 awakened's mana, they all fell in the maws of the Void Matter, but the latter could still take ti to negate the mana or cancel an attack from a powerful Rank 18.
Although, for powerhouses like Anastasia—a re Rank 17—it hardly posed a threat to her devastating abilities.
But from Rank 19 and beyond, the Void Matter has little to no effect at all on those monsters.
And since mortals hadn't found a way to consu or fully harness the energy in the Void Matter Core, its uses were limited to being used to defend and cancel abilities and skills of the awakened, as the Student Council President had done with Ragna.
"Thanks to the Phantoms, Mother had known how to extract the Void Matter from the cores despite not having the void elent herself." That was how Emberly and the old Pyris were able to make armors with passive skills to cancel attacks.
When two or more of these armors were in the sa place, an active skill could be activated upon sensing several attacks and would create a combined shield, a do-like shield, to counter these attacks.
This had happened when the crowd had tried to attack Silas when he was being brought to the court; this active skill had been activated.
This would have been a breakthrough for mortals, and it would have ensured safety for the awakened as they ventured out into the wilderness against corrupted beasts or even fought against their fellow awakened, but the issue was the Void Matter Cores were so rare.
Even an entire organization or a royal family, perhaps having more than five, was considered luck on its own. To make things even worse, the appearance of one Void Matter could cause a fight between these big organizations.
So how could a normal awakened get their hands on such a thing, let alone the Void Armor, as it was called?
The latter costs billions of AR, and only big organizations like the Supre Court could afford to purchase more than five of the armors.
Yet, Emberly had millions of these Void Matter Cores sitting in the Obsidian Tech tower, and only those who occupied the highest floor knew them, and that's, of course, the CEO and the vice CEO, Emilia, Lizzie, and Suzie.
But to Pyris, the Void Matter Cores held not much importance even if he could directly harness it's energy; he could, after all, control the Void elent as he wished. Why would he need the Void Matter Cores?
But still, they were important, and order after order for Void Armors was piling up on their desk, and he couldn't make these armors with his void elent; that would be too generous of him!
"Sigh, I hate to admit it, but Suzie was right; I really should get so rest!" Pyris said aloud. But that thought would disappear from his mind as though it never crossed his mind.
Rest? Now, that was a foreign word to him! The only way for him to rest was to focus on improving his powers and then improving his other skills, technology, and forging.
"The academy awaits! That would be a resting and slice of life part of my life." His blood pumped at that thought.
After the launch of ARGO VRMMORPG, he would have to step down for a bit and focus on his first primary goals, and the academy was one of those.
The adventures and the beauties it promised were endless, but most importantly...
"The hidden potential in those guys, the legacies I could use to get to my goals." But he also couldn't neglect those outside. "I'm promising myself this for yet another ti; I'm going to wreak havoc; alas, I'm shadows, hehe~!"
His moves would not be flashy like they had been lately.
"Slow burn!" He thought.
"Suzie was right, huh?" Alera's voice cut through his musings, her tone laced with sarcasm. "More like she wanted you under in her legs during that so-called 'rest' she suggested!" Her disapproval was palpable.
"Aren't you feisty today? Under her legs?" Pyris smirked, his voice carrying a teasing edge. "Hardly. She was looking out for ; I do work tirelessly, you know."
"Work? Ha!" Alera's eyes narrowed as she jabbed a finger into his chest. "You an gallivanting around, collecting won like trophies. 'You know, Lovebug, this mission in the Midnight Dominion is crucial—it dictates everything we've worked for. But I need you to stay and train hard while I handle it.' And what happened next?" She mimicked his tone with biting precision, her anger simring.
"What happened," Pyris replied with mock innocence, "was that I gathered the intel we needed to be here now."
"Intel?" Alera scoffed, throwing up her hands. "You an charming yet another woman into your bed! What was her na again—Amir? No, Ammit! Let's not forget Seraphina! Unbelievable!"
She laughed bitterly, her frustration boiling over. "While I was out there training, battling beasts in the Grove, you were cozying up with her. Goddess only knows, maybe you even had a fourso with those two won!"
"Alera~" Pyris murmured as he pulled her into his chest, his hand gently patting her head. So that was why she'd been so gloomy since their return.
"Elsa, you little troublemaker. You will be the death of your big brother." Pyris silently cursed the mischievous young elf who'd undoubtedly spilled the details to Alera. While he had no secrets from her, he preferred to deliver such news himself.
"There, there. Relax," he soothed, his tone softening as he tried to placate her.
"Ahh, it was fun seeing you all fired up," Zara's voice rang out, startling them. "And now? Look at you, all docile in his arms, letting him off the hook. Co on, Alera, don't be so submissive!"
"Ugh, shut up!" Alera snapped, her anger rekindling as Zara's laughter echoed, joined by Seren and Lyra. Find your next read on My Virtual Library Empire
"You're b*tch witch," Alera growled through gritted teeth.
****
Stable harem? Nah, such things are worked for. We will get there but there won't be fights or hatred among his won and those added on.
