Monster Integration

"An hour more," I said, looking at the dark sky, which is getting darker by the second. Today, there was no star or even a moon; it is completely dark.

There are a lot of Sky Sovereign monsters around and more are coming out every moment.

It would be safer for me to hide in the abode, but I didn't. It is risky, but it is helping me cover more distance. It is not like; I am planning to stay out as long as I can; I am only staying out till seven.

I am entering the abode sooner in the past few days to work on the inheritance.

A few minutes passed, and I sensed a battle. It is a monster versus monster battle or monster versus people, but people versus people, which is a kind of rare, after the dark.

Even Sky Sovereigns don't take such risks, but here they are doing it.

So, I looked and couldn't help, but become surprised.

I saw a member of stone skin man fighting against the twin-horned woman. The stone-skinned man belongs to none other than alkaz; I don't know the woman, nor I could see the sign of any familiar cult on her.

I looked for a few seconds before moving as quickly as possible from the battlefield.

I don't want to get caught in the battles of Sky Sovereigns when there are monsters gathering as well as the Sky Sovereigns.

It took me over half an hour before I couldn't sense the battle anymore. I could have moved faster, but it was evening, and the monsters were everywhere.

At exactly seven, I stopped and took out my abode, before entering inside.

I freshened, ate, and entered my abode.

I followed my usual schedule and forty minutes later; I had laid on the couch and closed my eyes, with excitement in my heart.

It had been over ten days since I got the bees and one month and a half inside the core. They have not only acclimated themselves, but also progressed.

They finished building their beehive days ago and filled them with the honey. Today, the queen has laid the eggs, which it only does after they finished storing enough honey.

The one on the second island started laying the eggs four days ago. It is the queen on the first island that took time.

I wanted to check them four days ago but decided to wait.

I looked before appearing next to the hive on the second island. It is smaller than the one in the forest, but its color and aura are much denser.

It is a yellow-colored beehive like the one in the forest, but the yellow color is more pronounced, and the golden shade is deeper.

The smell coming out of it was so wonderful that I wanted to take the honey and eat it and I will.

I looked at every part of it and entered and saw the cells filled with golden-yellow honey, which immediately made my mouth water.

I wanted to drink it, but I controlled the urge.

A bottle appeared in my hand, and I collected a few ounces of it, before checking every part of the honeycomb, including where it had laid eggs. Which are growing rapidly and healthy.

The plants in the core are of higher quality. It not only produced higher-quality honey, but also made the queen progress.

From what I had observed so far, I could tell. This queen had the potential to reach the Sky Sovereign stage, and I am going to help it with that. My clone had already started preparing the things that would aid it on its way.

However, I am mostly focused on the eggs, especially the eggs of the queens. To whom they are feeding, the royal jellies.

My clone had already started working on them the moment she laid the eggs. They had prepared the things and now doing everything they could to produce the queens, with the greatest potential.

Unlike, those who were born outside; the ones, born in my core will have much higher potential.

Though for some time, this will be the highest-level queen.

I collected some royal jelly before getting out of the hive. From today, my clones will collect honey and royal jelly from the hive.

It won't affect the hive as long as I collect it in the controlled amount.

I disappeared from the second island and appeared on the first island, in front of the hive, which is clearly different from the hive on the second island.

Its quality is better than the hive on the second island. It could be said to be level above; it is also much different.

So different, people wouldn't guess they belong to the same species.

The first different thing about it is that it fixed itself on the tree. Which straren bees seldom do it; most of their hives remain on the ground.

Maybe it was because it is a seedling of the world tree.

The hive is also smaller; four times smaller than the hive on the second island. It also didn't have the standard golden yellow color. Instead, it was colorful, with multiple colors of different shades of twenty-four colors.

These bees have done something, which I thought I would need to train them specifically.

This multicolored hive is produced, because these bees have used the nectar from the flowers hanging on the metal essence tree.

It couldn't be done with any flowers; it needs the tree at the level of essence tree, which is born from the world's core. If it tried with the other plant, it is will only turn a normal honey faint faintly different flavor, not a completely different honey.

There are only two such trees in my core.

First is the metal essence tree, and the second is the tree from which they are hanging. Though they have not gone after its buds, they will after those bud's bloom into the flowers.

I shrunk myself and entered the honeycomb.

Immediately, the strong fragrances hit me that me feel like I am drunk. I am just a construct of energy, not a real body, but it has affected me.

I controlled myself and looked at the cells filled with different colors of honey, with only gold in common among all the colors.

I looked at cells of irony-gold color; there are cells of different shades in that color. Every cell had a base from the nectar of metal essence hriasar iron fruit or rather flower giving their current stage of growth.

One cell contains its whole nectar as the base, while a little paler cell only contains a metallic essence, the other beside it contains only an herbal essence.

These bees can extract these multiple aspects from the single nectar. They had done with the nectar of every single flower of the metal essence tree.

I had needed to use the alchemical process to separate it and I was not able to do that good job, despite all the skills, I have which these dumb beasts did naturally.

Every drop of this honey is hundreds of times more valuable than the one produced by the other hive, which is also valuable.
