My Space-Time System

Once the king rank beast core entered their mouth, it dissolved causing their body to glow brighter than ever.

Immediately Blake fed them the beast core he wasted no time getting out of the way because a second later a 10-meter-wide pillar of mana crashed on ebony and Ivory.

BOOM!

The ground was instantly shattered by the destructive power of raw mana, creating a 20-meter-deep crater.

“Why the hell is the evolution process of beasts so destructive? Also, why do they require a pillar of mana from the sky to evolve?” Blake couldn’t help but ask.

[Both questions have the same answer.] The system said.

.....

[Just like human advancement, that of beasts involves a change in their anatomy, but the change is 10 times more than that of humans.]

[During the evolution, every single cell of their body is shredded and regrown into a stronger version. Also, their body anatomy would change to accommodate the hundreds of mana pathways that would develop in their body.] The system explained causing Blake to shiver.

He had passed out due to the pain of the Hero advancement process that connected his mana pathways to his body, talk less of the pain he would feel when every muscle fiber was being shredded and regrown.

[So the process is obviously destructive because of the mana pillar, but the mana pillar is what keeps them alive and regrows the body parts.] The system explained.

“So you are saying that they won’t be able to die even when the pain becomes too much, all because of the mana pillar?” Blake couldn’t help but ask.

[Yes, the mana pillar keeps the body alive, but not the mind and consciousness. So when the pain becomes too much for a beast to handle, they would go insane just like the wyrmling that attacked in your first test.] The system said.

It was still considered as the beast dying because it was only on very rare occasions that the insane beasts regained their sanity.

The chances of this happening were 1 in a million because either humans or fellow beasts would have to end their rampage by killing them.

“If Ebony and Ivory were to go insane what would happen?” Blake asked in a worried tone.

[I have no clue because I have never seen beasts that are also artifacts talk less of one that can evolve, but one thing I am sure that you would be dead before you knew it.] The system said causing Blake to gulp.

If it was only one king rank beast, Blake had a high chance of escaping because of the lighting and space elements, but with 2 king rank beasts that were more powerful than beasts on the same level. It was certain death.

“This means I should protect them or I die with them.” Blake shook his head as he let out a wry laugh.

“The only problem I have is that the mana pillar is a large beacon for every beast.” Blake said.

[You can think of it that way, but it is also a big deterrent signal for everything below the king rank realm, and apart from that it also acts as a form of defense.] The system said.

The raw power of the mana pillar couldn’t be penetrated easily by even king-rank beasts unless they decided to use their full strength.

“So you are confirming that it is a beacon for even stronger beasts?” As the seconds went by, Blake was becoming less excited about the evolution process.

[Yes.] The system confirmed.

“Then why didn’t you tell me, I would have brought Castiel and Brian to support me in case of any attacks!” Blake said to the system as he felt his head hurting.

[That’s because beasts don’t go attacking anyone that is evolving, if not we wouldn’t have problems dealing with them during the beast tide.] The system explained.

“How come I didn’t of it that way?”

[Because just like other humans you think all beasts are primal.] The system said.

For the next 30 minutes, Blake continued to circle the area to make sure nothing was disrupting the evolution process, but on the 43rd minute, the mana pillar had changed.

“What the fuck is this?” Blake couldn’t help but ask the system as the blue mana pillar had changed to red and white.

[I have no idea, but I think it has to do with the elements they are awakening.] The system said.

Everything about Ebony and Ivory was a mystery to the system. It had no knowledge of beasts that were separate and single entities simultaneously, so its abnormal evolution process was both shocking and expected.

The red part of the mana pillar was the purest form of fire energy while the white part was the purest form of ice energy.

(AN: Ice is basically water element that would be unlocked in the demigod realm.)

The result of both energies colliding was a thick fog that quickly spread to all parts of the forest.

“How am I meant to keep an eye on what is going on now?” Blake let out a helpless sigh when he saw he couldn’t see pass his nose.

It was clear that they didn’t need protection, but Blake wanted to witness the abnormal evolution process that surely wasn’t recorded in books in the library.

“The most important thing is that they are okay. So I shouldn’t be complaining.” Blake said as he sat in a crossed legged position on a large tree branch and began meditating.

Blake was at the peak of the mid Hero realm, so since absorbing energy was now useless to him he was focusing on completing the requirements to enter the peak of the Hero realm.
