Chapter 359

Early in the morning, Triana came to her senses and quietly returned to her half of the bed.

Kyon was staring at the ceiling with his arms crossed behind his head. He couldn’t help asking: «Did you like it?»

The tigress let out her claws and growled fiercely: «Another word, and I’ll tear you apart!»

Her icy cold reaction to his harmless question sent goosebumps down Kyon’s spine. He wished he had kept silent.

Triana drew in her claws and gritted her teeth. She was infuriated! Why did she fall off the wagon last night? It was the spineless omega’s penis and seed! The white tiger princess should be above playing with the first savoring the second!

Triana took her textbooks and began to revise for exams to calm down a bit. In the morning, she went to take an exam in sociology together with her former owner. It was her favorite subject, but she received only 6 out of 10 points despite her recent academic success. She couldn’t concentrate.

In the afternoon, Kyon noticed that Triana was as nervous as she was yesterday and was getting worse and worse. It was dangerous to talk with her and even meet her eyes. Triana growled and snorted, threatening him with her claws. She became a fury! Kyon was inclined to believe that it was a bad idea to seduce her. If she didn’t kill him on the spot, she would definitely do it afterward! There was an intense inner conflict between her desire, reason, bestial pride and self-respect. Triana would never admit that she would be glad to become his slave at least for 15 minutes so that the master would fuck the hell out of her.

In the evening, Lovr was waiting for the delivery of the keys from Boston, sitting in the lotus position in his training room and repeating a mantra: {Head upgrade… Head upgrade… Head upgrade…}

Suddenly, he had a feeling of elating relief as if a heavy boulder had been taking off his head. The world had suddenly become brighter, his hearing got more acute, his mind clearer!

{FINALLY!} – Kyon couldn’t believe it. The body of the void had been upgrading his head for endless eight months! It remained to finish upgrading his hand (half of the work had already been done), but he didn’t have that much time, considering the fact that he would be totally defenseless. Kyon doubted it was worth it.

It was time to figure out what bonuses he had received with the head’s upgrade.

Kyon noticed that Synergy, the essence of the universe, had evolved, making a leap from the peak of the student’s degree (2) to the beginning of the bachelor’s (3). It’s quality has significantly increased. His Synergy had become more powerful, efficient and versatile.

In his world, Lovr could use Synergy of bachelor’s degree to create a kilometre diameter screen (manipulating the electromagnetic waves); slightly change the characteristics of the environment at the same distance – from temperature to electrical charge; cause a variety of chemical reactions; subjugate until the last neuron a multitude of unreasonable creatures or one reasonable person who didn’t have Synergy; perform complex calculations in a short period of time and much more.

In this world, all of the above features could be divided by one hundred because of the aggressive environment. All except one: creatures without a soul couldn’t resist Synergy so Kyon could subjugate hundreds of thousands of birds or even a hundred zombies (soulless people).

Lovr had experimentally confirmed that he couldn’t see the divine slot in all things because it was too small. He suspected that even Synergy of doctor of philosophy degree (5) would not be enough for that. But without access to the slot, he wouldn’t be able to get rid of his chronic love for Dinah and Kara, look into the memories of the former owner of his body sealed in the soul, as well as change the characteristics of his unique body, create divine medicine from junk, and enchant matter for free. However, if he could do all this, he would become a godlike being.

As for the combat aspect, Synergy remained useless. Any opponent would use pure energy to destroy Synergy in their body. Only a​ ​basic phaser would be defenseless against Kyon, he didn’t consider them as his opponents.

{Synergy is great, but what about physical changes?} – Kyon decided to experiment as he once did with his right hand. He took out a purple, a pale green, and a light brown sphere of the superior, noble, and lord phases respectively. Each of them was more expensive and stronger than the previous one. It was believed that practitioners could crush the sphere of their phase with a bare hand, using pure energy. The lower the phase, the less obvious the destruction.

Lovr was at the 4th stage of the superior (3) phase. He took the purple sphere and bit it in half with the same ease with which a child would eat a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It wasn’t unexpected, though. Biting through the pale green sphere was as easy as chewing a piece of raw potato.

Holding his breath, Kyon took the lord phase sphere. It took some time and effort before the sphere burst. It was like biting through a ball of ice. Easy but not too easy.

{Hm… Will it work?..} – Kyon frowned and pulled out a bright red sphere of the royal phase. After a moment’s hesitation, he bit into it with all his might. After a minute of hard work, he looked at it and noticed a hairline crack in the center.

Kyon was impressed. The jaw muscles may be the strongest in the human body, but not every lord phaser was capable of creating a crack on the surface of the royal phase sphere! Carbon teeth and the super bite technique aside, the head enhancement was equal to two phases or 20 stages, both in terms of power and teeth strength. Considering the carbon skin and bones, as well as the advanced-level enchantment, he could take the attack of any royal or even imperial phaser on his head without significant damage! Unless, of course, the recoil went to the spine.

{Great! But… I spent a hundred thousand spheres for nothing…}

The completed head’s upgrade let Kyon know that his hand would also give him an advantage in strength in two phases, not in one as it was now, which begged the question, was it worth another eight months of total helplessness and stagnation?

Lovr frowned, closed his eyes and asked his unique body: {And that’s it?}

To his surprise, he felt a negative answer and then a strange tingling sensation in his eyes. He focused on them with a chuckle. Suddenly, he felt Synergy whirlpools in the area where the eyes should be. The suction was minimal. He could easily hold the essence of the universe within himself. If he stopped focusing, the whirlpools disappeared altogether, which meant that the process was completely under his control.

Kyon frowned thoughtfully and looked around the room but didn’t see anything unusual. He looked in the mirror and saw that his eyes were slightly glowing from the inside. They looked spectacular: {What does it mean for me?}

Eyes were considered to be the window to the soul. They were also any practitioner’s weakest point, especially in case with a stronger opponent. Almost all spiritual attacks were aimed at the eyes. For example, at Juno’s mansion, Kara used the gaze curse to force Kyon to commit the unforgivable crime. Kyon’s intuition told him that no attack would ever affect his glowing eyes. But was it all?

Lovr released pure energy into his palm. Imagine his surprise when he saw the energy in color! Then he released the remaining eight elements and admired them in awe. Each of them had its own color, and their combinations created new colors. For example, golden and black glow (the light and the dark elements) made green. Pure power was gray, and the time element created inverted colors. But the most amazing news was the fact that he could see invisible barriers!

The soul could differentiate each element and get ready for the appropriate attack. However, it wasn’t always possible to see the complete picture with spiritual feeling. For example, some techniques were a combination of several elements, and it was complicated to understand what to expect. There were also countless barriers and traps invisible to the eye and difficult to feel, even being at the same level as their creator. There existed lots of concealment techniques for people, weapons or even other techniques… They required careful scanning, but if the difference in cultivation was on the other side, it was challenging to detect them.

However, with the Eyes of Truth – as Kyon called his new feature – he could see through everything at any distance, without using limited scanning! The only question remained if there was a limit to this vision? Could he see the incomprehensive energy of the goddess or anyone using the legendary concealment technique?

All in all, Kyon was content. And yet, eight months was a lot. There must be more to the Eyes of Truth, but the timing for experiments wasn’t right. First, he had to save his ass from the tigress’s clutches! By the way, the keys for teleportation had just been delivered from Boston. He had borrowed the teleportation trigram from King Vladimir.

Lovr left the training room, took the ring with the keys from the messenger and went to the bathroom. Now that Triana was busy practicing, it was the best time to teleport.

Kyon went into the bathroom, took out the teleportation mold, filled it with nephrite powder, put the keys into the nine groves – the fee for the enchant to reduce the resistance to the green attribute, he placed the ring with a considerable number of spheres in the tenth grove – the price for teleportation.

He made sure with his keen hearing that Triana was immersed in training, stood in the center of the mold and activated teleportation. A translucent barrier formed above the trigram and his head. Green energy emanated from the formation, penetrating his body and the keys, and then his soul.

{Goodbye, baby tiger. I will see you in a couple of years when I am strong enough to be your alpha.} – Lovr heaved a sigh.

Five seconds before teleportation… Four… Three…

Suddenly, Kyon’s eyes got wide, his heart pounding with fear: {No! No! No! WAIT!} – Someone was approaching the bathroom at a terrifying speed.

Two… One…

~bam~

Triana knocked down the door and shattered the formation’s barrier, canceling his teleportation. With a vicious grin, she looked at her former owner down (not only because she was higher than him). The shrewd cat had seen through the cunning plan of the sly mouse: «Cowardly monkey! Haven’t you boasted of being a legend in your world? Why should I underestimate you? I watch every step you take! After all, you will do anything to save your skin!»

Kyon stared blankly at the floor. He was screwed. He couldn’t understand why he was so unlucky. A split second separated him from freedom! What was the chance that Triana would notice the faint frequency of the spatial attribute, considering that teleportation trigrams were not common in the animal kingdom! How did she figure it out?

Triana let out her razor-sharp claws and said in a calm but frightening tone: «I gave you one last chance, I warned you that I would tear you apart, but you decided not to believe the words of the princess. Well, too bad I have to kill you too soon…» – She whispered to his ear. – «However, if you show me your both personalities now, I’ll give you a farewell kiss and… I will think of you sometimes.»
