Monster Integration

Bwooooomp!

The horn of the ship blew as it moved away from the last island.

Since we came out of the suppressive zone; it is the second island we have stopped and it would be our last island, before our journey end in the eleven days.

We were supposed to visit five islands, but we only did two and stayed there for three days instead of a week.

The journey had been delayed and a lot of people were killed. The ship now wants to take us to our destination as soon as possible and if those two islands weren't important; it wouldn't have even been stopped there.

It had been four weeks since we got out of the suppression zone, and we had been attacked only once.

That too, Prime handled it.

No Sky Sovereign had an appetite for the battle anymore. We had fought too much, and now everyone wants to rest and focus on what they have learned.

I watched till the island disappeared, before walking into the grand suite. Courtesy of the captain; it is one of the biggest suites on the ship and came with the staff and the butler.

I would have to reject it if not for looking rude. So, I politely accepted the suite, but not the staff.

I laid down on the couch and closed my eyes. When I entered, I saw hundreds of meta-phantoms, moving around or rather fighting, while my clone was studying them carefully.

The data, I had got in the past three weeks in the suppression zone was gold.

In the battles, everyone pushed themselves hard. Revealing their secrets, they usually wouldn't.

It is a good thing, that there wasn't Prime because the secrets of Ven and Sarena wouldn't be kept hidden. They had pushed themselves hard, tapping into the power they had been hiding.

They were careful, and nobody was able to sense it. They wouldn't have been so lucky if the prime had been there.

A few minutes later, all but one phantom disappeared, and my clone moved to fight it. The clone is perfect as it didn't have emotions, but still learned a lot through these duals.

I watched for a while before looking at my beautiful straren bees. They are currently fighting a monster.

I am thinking of creating another hive. I don't need honey, but there are some plants that are not chosen by any of the hives, and it would be bad to let all that nectar go to waste.

I am not selling it, doesn't mean, I do not want it.

One day, I get a chance to sell the honey and I need to continue harvesting it. So, when the time comes, I will have enough to sell it.

'The bull is good; it seemed like, its poison resistance is working well against the toxins of the bees,' I thought as I looked at the bees, attacking a dark blue color bull monster with green horns.

The island didn't have powerful monsters. It took me quite an effort to find it; the island before that was the same.

The octopus had been a greater monster. It provided me with a lot of benefits and also was a good sparring partner for the bees. If I used as much as bees against the bull monster as I had against the octopus, it wouldn't survive for long, even with its resistance.

After reaching the continent, I am going to look for some powerful monsters that I could barely defeat.

They will be lasting and provide good challenges to bees.

The battle lasted for a couple of minutes more, with bull-

turning victories. It had three bees, but it could barely stand at the end.

If I want to, I could stop death easily, but it is necessary. It is what will force the queen to create better bees.

I had come across many bees, but I only brought the straren bees into my core. There are a few species of bees better than them at creating honey, but no one is better than them at adaptability.

If one bred them well; one could create bees that will be strong but also produce the best honey.

A decade had passed since these bees entered my core, and they have made wonderful progress. They have crossed half of the distance into becoming the best honey-producing bees of their grade; it won't take them long to cross the other half.

I collected the honey, and tagged it, before walking into the repository, where shelves had been filled with the honey and royal jelly.

Speaking of the royal jelly; I am still using an Earth Sovereign grade royal jelly and that of the first year of the bees. The stuff is too strong, and I am taking things slowly.

I don't want to kill myself using stronger royal jelly than I could handle. Which could happen.

That stuff may be amazing, but it is extremely dangerous, and I rather not take them before I understand them.

Since the day, I got out of suppressive zone, I have been practicing. There hadn't been a single day where I had missed the practice. I had missed it for three weeks; I don't want to do it anymore.

I walked out of the repository and walked toward the hill where the library was; it took me a few minutes to reach it, but I didn't mind.

I saw all the plants I had planted. They are growing well.

Click!

Soon, I reached the library and walked inside. As I did, a smile bloomed across my face.

I am making good progress with my inheritance. I am working here every day with the seven clones. Each one is busy with a specific task, I had assigned to them, and they are doing it with absolute efficiency.

In some tasks, even I couldn't compare to my clones.

I sat down in my place and resumed working on the group of formations; I had been doing that a few hours ago.

It is a big formation and quite challenging, which made it even better. If it had not been challenging, I wouldn't have had so much fun working on it.
