Chereads / Lady Emperor / Chapter 24 - 24-Forming a Core

Chapter 24 - 24-Forming a Core

'I need to get stronger.' Rogue thought to herself as she stood upon the top of the Heavy Miner Droid. Rogue was at the center of her Expedition Forces and was waiting for her Reinforcements. Typhon kept reminding her of the Enemy's Position. It seemed that they were a bit slower than expected. The Enemy took the long route as they wanted their Army to be unperceived by Rogue but unfortunately for them. Rogue already noticed their existence and was making preparing against them. She sat on top of the Heavy Miner Droid in a Cross-legged Position and began preparing her body. It has been a while since her body took a look at her own body and ability.

'Archive...' Rogue thought to herself for the first time, and an Archive Window appeared in front of her. It was the same Archive she saw a long time ago. It was her first time gaining a massive amount of power. She was a bit happy during that time, but a tragedy struck, which forced her to stop making her body stronger. But it was fortunate that she managed to learn different Fighting Techniques, which made her stronger even without power. Rogue looked at the Archive Window and began reading it.

'Many things happened within the passing time, but only my Knowledge had changed. I gained Grand Knowledge, Grand Fighting Techniques, and Grand Primos Energy from the Training and Studies I got from Typhon and Exodus. My Core is still the same, which is problematic as I need my body to be stronger.' Rogue wanted her body to be stronger, so with this in mind. She began to activate one of her special abilities. It was an Ability called Upload. With her understanding of Primos Energy, The Upload would easily be faster and efficient than before.

It already got completed before a second could pass. Rogue felt the Energy around her, and it was a bit denser than before. A Thousand Years have passed, and there was a Possibility that the Arts of the Krieg got lost within time. Seeing the Dense Primos Energy within her, Rogue couldn't help but smirk and begin her Absorption. She was like a Giant Whirpool that appeared in the middle of the ocean. She was sucking everything at a fast speed which was the result of her Studies and Training.

Time passes around her. The Expedition Force didn't try to disturb their Leader of its concentration. They even decided to make every movement to be a light and stealthy as possible. Hours had already passed since Rogue began absorbing the energy around her. It was already Night as Two Moons appeared in the Night Sky. It was a Beautiful Sight, but Rogue concentrated all her attention on the Primos Energy within her. She was absorbing a lot of Energy that was comparable to ten times of the Krieg. The Dense Primos Energy heavily affected everything, and Rogue also discovered that she could take more Primos Energy than expected.

'It must be the result of my body which is fused by a bit of Monster Genes.' It was the only possibility Rogue could find. Even though the Monsters couldn't use Primus Energy, They were still the only Biological Species that was completely biological. They didn't use anything with technology and evolved to face their problems. The Monsters strange evolution probably caused Primos Energy within their body to evolve. They could take more Primos Energy, and this could also be the answer to why Monsters could survive without eating.

Rogue continued the absorption and wanted to refine her Energy. There was a Technique for that. Rogue calmed herself and began absorbing more Energy and Refine it into something stronger. There was a Fusion within her Body which caused Chaos upon the Primos Energy within her surrounding. The Wind got Stronger, The Night got Darkness, and the Temperature got Lower. The Expedition Forces and Rogue weren't affected by the changes, but such changes appeared multiple kilometers away from Rogue. The Trees were slowly freezing, and the winds made the frozen trees rustle.

Rogue continued doing the same thing over and over again. She refined the Energy within her body, which increases the Value of her Energy. Something like this could only get activated for those Krieg with a good amount of energy at their disposal. If Rogue had a Krieg Energy Value of 100 a dozen hours ago, Her Krieg Energy Value increased to 1000, and she wasn't even condensing her Core yet.

Rogue continued such a process until the Sun rose from the Horizon. She opened her eyelids and found that her Energy has increased about a Thousandfold. It was something she didn't expect, but she was smiling as the result of the Energy Absorption and Refinement was good. But there were problems with doing such things. The Condensing of the Core would be harder. She had techniques that would help her, but it would be painful. Rogue wouldn't mind the pain as it was the sign of her getting stronger.

Rogue stood up and stretched her body as she wasn't moving a single muscle during the Night. She felt her body was full of energy, and she could even move for Months without getting tired. It was a good perk for having a huge amount of Primos Energy within her body. After Rogue stretched her Body, She sat in a Crossed-Legged Position again and began her second training.

Rogue began absorbing Energy at a faster speed than before. The Expedition Forces were building basic fortifications around the area. They were currently 100 Kilometers away from the Mountain Region. Typhon ordered the Droids and the Drones to fortify the position around Rogue as the Reinforcements would come in about Five Days. Five Days was because Typhon needed time to Prepare everything Rogue needed for her Army. There were also 9 Harvesters in Production. The Behemoths needed time to make, and there were also 10,000 VanMonsters under production.

She continued doing the same thing for Three Days. She absorbs Primos Energy and Refines it. She would do it over and over again until she could feel that her body was giving up. She needed to refind her own body to get stronger and better at holding the Primos Energy. But before refining her body, Rogue would need to make her own Core. A Core was important for all Kriegs that used Primos Energy. The Core was something that would help them in their battle. It also made the Control of Primos Energy a bit easier. It was also efficient and would automatically make any Energy absorbed into high-quality energy.

Rogue opened her eyelids which revealed her Golden Amber Eyes. She now has 100,000 Krieg Energy Units within her body. It was a bit more than what she expected to get, but it was a piece of good news. This was the Limit her Body could hold. She would need to Refine Her body and make a Core to continue absorbing and refining energy. It has been Three Days, and it was time for her to condense the Energy within her.

Condensing the Energy was hard. It would especially be harder as Rogue's Krieg Energy Units was beyond a Normal Krieg could have. To condense Energy, She needed to use her will to control the Energy within her. With this in mind, Rogue began controlling the Energy within her body and pulled it into one spot. It worked and began pulling energy, but it exploded before it could continue. The Explosion within herself caused Rogue to coughed up Blood.

"Tsk... It seemed that I need to ask for help." Rogue mumbled as she began calling for Typhon. Typhon's Monotone Voice then echoed within her mind. "Master, Is there something wrong?" Typhon asked as Rogue answered Typhon's question using her own thoughts. 'I cannot Condense the Energy within me. It is too big and dense. I would need someone to calculate the right amount of power needed for me to use.' Rogue thought as Typhon was in silence. Rogue patiently waited for Typhon's voice and a while later. Typhon's Monotone Voice echoed once again within her mind.

"I will follow my Master's Orders. I have gathered the Data needed for the Calculation. The only thing that Master needed to do is to let me enter within her." Typhon said as Rogue quickly nodded. Typhon then entered Rogue's Body. As Typhon entered Rogue's body for the first time, She looked around and found herself looking at a Gigantic Sun. 'Her Master absorbed all of this in three days? What kind of prodigy was she?' That was what Typhon thought after seeing the bright sun.

Typhon then began calculating Rogue's Primos Energy. It was hard to calculate as Rogue's Primos Energy was acting like a Star. It didn't want to get smaller than needed. But if it won't get smaller, Rogue wouldn't be able to make a Core. After the Calculation was complete, Typhon sent the complete Data to Rogue. Rogue then saw the Data within her mind and quickly understood it.

She followed the instructions given to her and began applying them towards her Primos Energy. Typhon was looking at the Gigantic Bloating Bright Star that was shrinking in size. Rogue needed to be careful on condensing it. The Bright Star continued shrinking, and Rogue's Primos Energy was condensing into one Singular Point. As the Primos Energy condensed into one Area, The Core Formation began.

The Primos Energy condensed into One Singular Point which created another Reaction called Core Formation. A Core was slowly forming within Rogue. Even Typhon, who looked at the Primos Energy Condensing from afar, could see the Core Formation happening. 'The Core is forming...' That was what Typhon thought after seeing the formation. She was a bit excited for her master as it would be a good addition to their forces. Her Master could also use the Gift given to her by Darius Stallion.

Rogue felt that the Core she wanted to formed was forming within her body. She concentrated and began to continue what the instruction said. The Bright Star within her body began illuminating brightly. Her Will was shaking due to the forces that were fighting against her. Rogue didn't give up and continued pushing Primos Energy using her Will. Rogue's Body, in Reality, began shining brightly. It was the sign that she was breaking through the First Core.

'I need to concentrate and push the Energy.' Rogue thought to herself as she continued pushing. The Expedition Forces noticed the strange phenomena that happened around Rogue. A Storm was forming above her. The Earth was shaking. The Wind created a barricade around her. The Water droplets avoided her. The Phenomena was the Primos Energy excitedly happy as the First Core for a Dozen of Millennia have finally got formed.

Within Rogue's Body, The First Core was complete. Typhon could see the First Golden Core that Rogue created. The Excess Energy then exploded, which forced Typhon out of Rogue's Body. With the Excess Primos Energy exploding, the Cosmos was reminded by the Krieg Race. Many things happened during this time.

The Humans felt something rising from the Annals of Time. The Elves felt something that they looked upon as Gods. The Beastfold felt something that they looked upon as Deities. The Dwarves felt something that they looked upon as the Forges of Creation. The Seraphs, on the other hand, felt that their Masters have awakened from their Slumber. All Creatures within the Cosmos have different reactions from the strange phenomena.

Some were Shock, Happy, Angry, and Careless about it. But most of them felt something that followed their emotions. It was the Emotion of Fear. The Fear of something beyond them rising from the Annals of time echoed within the Races' hearts. They didn't know who it was, but they understood that they needed to prepare themselves.

Meanwhile, Rogue found herself in a Nostalgic Moment. She was within the Darkness, and she couldn't feel her body. She then heard an Ancient and Nostalgic Voice that she only heard once. *Rogue, It seemed that you have finally woken up from your Slumber and gained a Core.* It was the Voice that called her within the Warp. It was something that knew her History and her Mother. She didn't know who it was, but Rogue knew that it was something akin to a God.
