Chapter 194 - Soon

Leonel smiled.

The evolution didn't take very long at all. In fact, it could be considered to have happened in the blink of an eye.

The Lab Setting doubled in size. But, surprisingly, the outside view of the Segmented Cube actually shrunk by a size down to a five meter radius. In addition, it seemed that it's exterior was a level sturdier. At the very least, the Force Eruption no longer seemed to affect it as much anymore.

Leonel didn't have time to slowly figure out what changes occurred, so this time, he directly asked the dictionary.

[ *Ping* ]

[ Replying to Seed, Phase One of Segmented Cube provides Suspended Animation and the Black Grade Soothing Water. Phase Two provides the Bronze Grade Soothing Waters and Evolution Nurturing. ]

Leonel raised an eyebrow. "What is Evolution Nurturing?"

[ *Ping* ]

[ Natural Treasures within the means of Phase Two can be nurtured for growth. ]

"What is within the means of Phase Two?"

[ *Ping* ]

[ At and below the Fourth Dimensional Grade. ]

After a few more questions, Leonel came to understand everything.

It turned out that he was right to store the ores and herbs he gained within the snowglobes. In there, they could be nurtured to slowly grow and produce more of their kind. Though it would still take a long time, it was better than nothing.

In addition, according to the dictionary, it he found more Cores of the same kind, he could place them within the same environment and they would be able to mutually work together to expedite growth.

After knowing this, Leonel immediately separated the snowglobes into groups and put like minerals and herbs together. He didn't even have to stand to do this. After entering Phase Two, especially with his powerful spirit, he was able to control most of the matters of the Segmented Cube with his mind.

These ores would become especially important to him in the future. Not because of Force Crafting, but rather because of a special ability of his Metal Synergy Lineage Factor. Unfortunately, he didn't have the time to explore this right now.

With that thought, Leonel stood and entered the Abode Setting. He had to speak to the other three youths. However, he didn't expect the three of them to look at him as though they were seeing some kind of monster. If it wasn't for their masks, their expressions might have been even more exaggerated.

Flowing Wind stepped forward, looking Leonel up and down.

"Handsome... How'd you get more handsome?"

Flowing Wind looked up at Leonel with a serious expression.

The changes in Leonel were simply too exaggerated.

Now, he stood just over two meters tall, crossing the 6'6 mark. His skin was just as tanned as it had always been, but it seemed smoother and more flawless, even to the point of radiating an incredibly faint bronze light.

As though this wasn't enough, his dirty blond hair had become a bright copper color. It was like his hair had been formed by individual, flexible filaments of the metal, sweeping across his shoulders with an inhuman sheen to it.

But the greatest change was to his aura. They all gravitated toward him uncontrollably. As unreserved as Flowing Wind usually was, even she felt somewhat stifled at this moment.

At this point, he really did look like some Roman God.

"Huh?"

Leonel tilted his head in confusion. He hadn't observed himself in the mirror. Even when he used his spirit to observe his body, it was only the inside of his body. So, he had no idea why their reactions were so exaggerated.

That said, he didn't have the time to mind it.

"I'm confident in bringing us all away now and have a way to mature the Force Crystal Mine Core. Stay put here, I will take us out soon."

With the Segmented Cube gaining such a Phase Two ability, Leonel really could mature the Core now.

Everything should have been made simple but... The only issue was that the situation outside had changed, leaving Leonel a bit helpless. Thanks to the evolution of the Segmented Cube, Leonel could even access the situation outside its walls now.

First, the little mink had woken up and was even curiously observing the Force Eruption.

If that was all, things would still be fine. But, with the increase in his spirit, Leonel could finally see the edges of this vast kilometer long space clearly. Thanks to that, he noticed several tunnels he hadn't in the past. And... one of those tunnels led to a valley a group of people were currently exploring...

It wouldn't be long before they found this place.
