Chapter 604

Yep, dont worry about it.

Why wouldnt I be?

Well, as long as nobody pulls any crap then you shouldnt expect any problems. I have already been paid after all.

With the day to awaken what few mages had managed to get to the eighth levels of their magics finally there, he already knew hed be helping just over two hundred people, netting him close to forty extra points of mana thanks to his agreement with the gods which he intended to make good on, even if he found himself surprised to have so many more to do.

Well, what can I say, Im happy to inspire people to get me more mana.VIsit n0(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

No, but its a fair trade-off. Hell, its not even a fair trade-off, I was crazy generous with this deal. Im getting a point of mana for every six people I help, meanwhile, theyre awakening their magics with all of the other bonuses that come with it. Every god that thinks Im not generous is a factually incorrect asshole and you can quote me on that.

Fine, fine, its not like theres a rush.

Walking through his mini-gate to the main network and to Allfaith from there, Ben went to the same place hed been the last time hed done it, going to the soul mage Elvats home on the surface and finding the expected faces already there.

He knew the two soul mages would be around, same as the last time, and everyone else hed come to expect, with Thera there too, practicing with Uliel and Vasta at the side as she had been for months at that point, sparing him a smile while she worked on a spell as he greeted them all.

Sup guys, everyone ready for the end of the world?

Were being positive about it Ben, Amy sighed, with Jake sharing Bens personal favourite strategy.

Im just not going to think about it till day of. This is officially the last month I can enjoy without stressing.

Okay, thats the spirit.

That got a grimace as Jake understood where this was going.

Man, shoving mana into me like that really hurts, you know?

I can guarantee it hurts you less than it hurts me. Not only do I regulate the amount I give you but you have a fundamentally higher capacity than I do. Anyway, I just want to make a certain magic material and youre the only person I know with the right affinities for it. Please? Pretty please?

He did his best to look his most innocent and hopeful, getting the response he wanted for his efforts.

Alright, if its just the one

Youre the best! Thera, mind if I borrow you for a minute?

Sure, lets make it quick then.

She came over and placed a hand on his back as he did the same to Jake, merging his mind into the others to create what he so badly wanted.

While his prior visit to see all of the new magic materials had been for the purposes of making Inux his body, Ben still needed to think on the ones hed seen and how they might be incorporated into his future designs, as well as wait for more research to be done on the various unknown ones, but that didnt mean he didnt want to play with anything after all that, with the target of his attention being the material that seemed to condense the fabric of reality around it, as well as that condensate itself.

It had proven to be a fantastic enchanting material, and while some of its other properties would limit its uses, he still very much intended to see what he could do with such a thing, with the only thing that meant being that hed need more. A lot more.

As Ben directed Jake to spend all of the mana being shoved into him, what came from that effort was a cubic foot of the substance, plenty for him to do his own tests and experiments to see its potential and limits later. For the time being, having gotten all that he wanted he shoved it into his bag before thinking out loud.

Lets see, if Im supposed to be naming all of these things then I guess this is getting called voidstone. It condenses the void of space around it, that should be good enough, right?

No one answered his musings but he was happy enough with it, and with everything he wanted to do beforehand finally done he moved on to chatting a bit with his friends before the door opened, letting in the first of those hed be awakening.
