As soon as I was sitting down, everyone started to "consume" the god-level essence crystals in their hands. Since the energy within each crystal was enough to level them up several times, the 5th-stage ones, Fina, Judy, and Yorm, were having much difficulty.
In the end, they failed to absorb it fully and failed after extracting roughly 50% of the god-level essence crystal.
"UGH!"
Even though it was just half, the feedback was still a great deal. Enough that I almost triggered the combination of flames just to hold on. Fortunately, it wasn't bad enough to require such drastic measures. I only had to endure the pain and quietly absorb the energy from the feedback.
As I completed the absorbing process, reverse feedback from me to the girls occurred, strengthening everyone simultaneously.
"That hurts like hell..."
