Chapter 3442 Extracting
'Careful, careful, careful…'
I repeated the mantra over and over as I sucked the forbidden power from the drop of true essence, the core of the slime had gathered.
It is my eighth day here and thankfully; I was able to find the way to enter its core.
Though, I am being extremely careful. It is the most secure area in the whole slime. The faintest change and it will discover it and I planned to make a lot of changes here.
I have covered the inside of the core with a formation of forbidden power.
It is a very powerful formation, and one of its jobs is to suck the forbidden power present in my essence.
It had been a few minutes since I was able to put the formation and activate it.
From now on, it will be there.
Currently, I am operating it, but when I get enough data. It will work on its own, every speck of true essence entered inside it. It will suck the forbidden power contain inside, aside from doing other things.
Forty-seven minutes later, 97% of the forbidden power inside it had been sucked away.
Seeing that, I couldn't help but smile. I was going for 95%, but the formation had worked better than I had imagined.
Buzz!
I took a deep breath and activated the second part of the formation, and two connections were created.
Immediately, 55% of the true essence disappeared from the drop and was replaced with another solution, which began to mix with it.
I have been able to get the data from the pads of all three of the researchers/workers here. It is one of the most daring things I have done because I stole the data while they were operating the tabs.
My original plan was to do it after they slept or rested, but I found out that it was not possible.
It turned out these tabs not only run by their aura; they also need to constantly input with a series of codes.
I do not know codes and I might be able to crack it, but for it, I would have needed to get my hands on the pad and that would have been near impossible.
It is an Earth Sovereign, weak as it may be, but still an Earth Sovereign.
The moment I took the tab; he will notice.
So, I stole the data while he used it. It was extremely difficult, and he had nearly suspected it but didn't and I have got a massive amount of data.
Some of which were downright shocking.
It helped me tremendously to understand many things. Especially things about me and what the purity of the true essence their artifacts have calculated.
Their reading is wrong. The forbidden power merged with me had messed with it.
The reading is much higher; it is why I am taking 55% of my processed true essence and mixing it with other things I have created.
As long as they do not look very deeply through all aspects. They will not discover anything strange about it; they will get material of the same reading their artifacts have given them and it will be of the Sovereign grade.
It is a very risky thing I have done, but what choice do I have?
If they had discovered the reality of it; they would have shifted me out of here. I don't want that. Here I have some chance of escape; in another place, I won't have that chance.
The formation did what I had designed to do and now with the data I have got; it will be all automated.
It could be said that I have solved one of the immediate problems and as long as they don't discover me, I will be fine.
Now moving to the second problem and the goal.
The second problem is I have to stop it from my true essence or make them harvest much less than, I could replenish without damaging my base even slightest.
It will be a challenge, but without it, I won't be able to fulfill my goal, which is to escape this place.
To escape it, I will have to make a breakthrough, without there is no way I would be able to escape.
There is not only this weakling Earth Sovereign researcher here. There are also three Earth Sovereign guards, two Initial Levels, and one Mid-Level.
They are far more powerful than him and they might not be the only ones.
Achieving the breakthrough would be tremendously difficult, but I have to do it. It is the only way out of this place, or I could wait for the savior to appear.
The savior hadn't appeared in more than two centuries since this place had been here, but they might appear in the next few months.
So, for the breakthrough for it to happen, I need to do several things.
First is the true essence. I need to stop it and find to completely replenish it. Second, I need to fill the limit of forbidden power and strength.
Third, I need to tame the slime, which is going to be another extremely difficult thing to do.
It doesn't have a powerful mind; it has one of the weakest, but there is a powerful defense around the mind that I will have to breach. Even with forbidden power, it will be a difficult task, but it is necessary.
Only after taming it I will be able to remove its tentacles, which are sealing my power.
As for the other two seals, they are powerful, but I have already started working on them.
One of my clones is already using forbidden power to unclog the Sky Sovereign energy blocking my veins. I had already started using a powerful mix of energy to whittle it away and hiding the whole process with forbidden power.
In a month, all the blockages will be removed.
As for the sealing formation, it is done.
I had already solved it, and I only needed to be brought out of the formation, and it will be broken.
For all it to happen, I will have to tame the slime, without it, nothing would be possible. I will be stuck here, like these people, for decades and centuries, till they extract every bit of my essence.
Leaving only the medicine body, which is a favorite food of Grimm's.
It is also used for many other things. Not a single one is good. I am sure thousands would have suffered the same fate.
It will not happen to me, I will escape here before doing that, making these people pay the price for what they have done.
These people are considering us things; they are not even treating us like people. We are the only things for them to extract resources.
The more I thought about it, the more rage built in my heart, and I want to tear them apart and I will do it.
It took me a while to calm myself down before I went back to my core.
It is not difficult for me, even with my body, and soul sealed. I didn't even need to use the forbidden power actively to do it.
The three seals are powerful, but they are not powerful enough, to stop this from happening.
