Elihim spent time with Ellie for breakfast. She was like a spoiled brat as she opened her mouth, waiting for Elihim to feed her even though he was the one who needs to be fed.
After taking a spoonful from Elihim, Ellie realized this.
"Ahhh~~ It's your turn, Elihi."
She then fed Elihim, who in turn, felt embarrassed. But still, he ate it.
After eating, Elihim would teach Ellie about all sorts of stuff.
"Ellie, tomorrow, are you ready to help me?" he asked.
"Yes, I'm ready!"
With Elihim's guide, Ellie is not the same when she just became an Imagi. Comparing her to the 'Elites', she would be a master. However, she still has her limits. The moment Elihim's teachings have fully transferred, it would depend on her own skill on how she will improve from now on. But even though Elihim has taught her everything she needs to know, it was just the basics in Elihim's knowledge.
The problem is her dependence on him. If he spoonfed her every time, what will she do once he's gone? Would she just break down on her own without support?
That's why, except for the times he gives advice, Ellie could only rely on herself on how to improve. Furthermore, just like Elihim, because of their young age, they don't have that much stamina, therefore, Elihim's advice for her was to prioritize that.
If she were to expend her energy immediately, no matter how strong she is, she would turn useless.
Of course, as Elihim's advice, Ellie gave a full ear and gave her full attention to increasing her stamina. So just like Elihim, again, she pushes herself to the limit every day.
'Hm... I didn't know she has that kind of talent. How is a seven-year-old have that much determination?'
Being dense in some areas, Elihim was curious about what drives Ellie. Pushing oneself to the limit is simple to say but... in action, that is something that monks who lived in the mountains could only do.
While Ellie trains herself far in the distance with Elihim's trusty pigeon on standby, he walked towards a specific area, somewhere near the other side, east, of the lake. To get from Heron and Lyssa's mansion to Elihim's cave, they have to walk through the west part of the lakeshore. Therefore, the east part stayed untouched until Elihim set foot on it.
The moment he walked into that area, an ant crawled out of the ground and climbed up to Elihim's foot, going through under his clothes and reappearing next under his sleeve before going to his finger.
Obviously, Elihim noticed this. The moment the ant went to his finger, he looked at it. The two didn't talk, obviously again, however, there's communication happening there as the ant's antenna kept fidgeting.
After nodding, Elihim placed the ant onto the ground.
Her name is Ebeth, an ant queen. She's not in charge of reproduction, Elihim let the current ant queen for that. Ebeth's main job was to literally be a queen and not be a tool for reproduction.
Elihim was still on his mission of finding a rare mineral cave. However, with pigeons, that would be impossible to find, he figured out right after. Therefore, he went to look for those who are already living underground.
However, controlling them one by one is just not worth taking his focus. Therefore, he chose an ant colony and concentrate on one to control the whole. He chose Ebeth since it seemed she's already a future ant queen. He randomly chose another to substitute for her.
Upgrading her soul like what he did to Drake and Jake, Ebeth became more intelligent. As the most powerful ant, she easily leads the dumb worker ants to search for minerals. Elihim has found a few but he had used them using Law to fool Hauduin.
He did not need to bend fate itself to change fate, therefore, he only need some minerals to use it. As rare minerals such as gold and gems, they are considered Elihim's Precious Possession the moment he found them.
Precious Possession placing on Third Tier of Possession Rarity after Ordinary and Limited Possessions. Ordinary is everything like stones and sticks as long as it's in the possession of a person. Limited is food, clothes, and even furnishing in one's house. Precious is the whole house itself, golds, and pieces of jewelry. As for the Fourth Tier and above, Special is something that one keeps like a heritage, Exquisite is something that not everyone owns. For example, a legendary sword. Treasure, the Sixth Tier is like Exquisite but with sentimental value too like Special.
Countries would fight for an Exquisite possession, however, Treasures are something kings would personally want as not only would it has great value, their emotions were directly linked to it too.
In the last tier, Sole Possession, Elihim has already used more than the other Law Exchange. After these few months, he was still at the Law Supreme tier where he can use Exquisite Exchanges at its maximum efficiency.
"Tomorrow is the day of the storm..."
Elihim muttered. He was a bit troubled that the minerals that he had accumulated may not be enough. Although he was not holding it and they were under the ground, it was his. Along as no other people claim it as theirs, the Law permits that it is his.
Owning possessions is just a concept in the first place. From the start, the world is no one's possession, people just began claiming it as theirs so that others won't take it. If there's only one living person in the whole world, that person can claim the world as theirs, and the Law permits.
Elihim then remembered how there were [Outlaws] in the World of Law who went as far as wanting human extinction for them to claim the world as theirs. But he didn't care about them, after all, Elihim at the time had created a grander world from nothing.
But there's something that Elihim had yet to think about. No, he kept putting it on the back of his head.
It's about what Hauduin saw.
Elihim obviously knew that he's the entity that Hauduin was talking about. And that, he will bring alternate realities together...
He stopped to think.
'Is this true...?'
Elihim knew quite well what this epiphany forebodes. But is it possible?
He cannot answer.
After all, he just peeked at what Hauduin saw. However, the fact that it could be seen by looking at fate... Elihim couldn't take it as a mere illusion or a coincidence.
What will he do if that's true? What does 'bring alternate realities together' actually means? No, how will it work?
A hundred speculations occurred within Elihim's mind, however, he had no way to determine if it's real or not. That's why, until that time comes, he had to focus gaining power within Reland.
