Chapter 8 - Partially Awakened

Jacob opened his eyes some seconds after passing through the portal.

He was greeted with a new scenery. He then saw a Giant tree, words couldn't describe it's size as it pierced the sky reaching space and it's width covered everywhere his eyes can see.

He also noticed a huge amount of people or children of different races including beast all of them around his age numbered in millions, hundreds? He couldn't count.

Hey! move a guy shouted angrily.

Jacob realized that he was standing in the way of some people.

He quickly moved away from there looking for a less crowded place, but the numbers kept increasing by the second as more portals opened up all he could see were a sea of people but thankfully the world still had space.

Javis and Betty could be seen looking around frantically, where is Jacob? I haven't seen him in this world and the other one, am sure someone in his condition shouldn't be hard to find. Betty said with a light frown on her face.

When we Awaken and get out of here we will definitely find him outside Javis muttered in a low tone as she finally fully looked at the huge tree that span across this world.

Minutes passed slowly with lots of people were getting bored.

Why isn't this damn tree working a random guy said in frustration as he was very close to the tree, and he kicked it and that area glowed rebounding his leg causing him to scream out loud from pain.

Causing a chuckle from people around him.

A minute later the tree started vibrating and it's emerald leaves started glowing, and everyone started getting closer to the giant

"World Tree" as the awakening was starting.

And everyone was startled again when they suddenly an announcement appeared on everyone faces.

But the minority of people Divine beast and other races had some information which they revealed to the people around them splitting the crowd.

And a blonde haired guy with an arrogant expression could be seen talking about it, and Jacob was also around there listening with a dazed expression, but surprisingly he explained clearly.

"It is called a system it shows your status, your name and everything about your ability, it's basically a tool and you can check it by calling out your system window."

As Jacob heared everything he decided to try it.

System window! He said internally and surely something popped up.

Damn! Some people said in excitement and a announcement was heard in everyone's mind.

AWAKENING INITIATING..

And the tree started glowing even more brightly and several lights like shooting stars came out from the tree, reaching everyone making their bodies glow.

Jacob immediately saw that the space he was standing appeared distant from everyone almost as if he was transported somewhere.

He sat down with legs crossed and he noticed some wisp of energy appearing from the void seeping in his body, and he felt his body heating up as the Aura was entering him.

Then he saw the system screen show up again.

URGENT MESSAGE!!!

[The Divine Grade Beasts has sent you a gift accept Y/N]

Jacob was startled by this sudden message he got from the system, and he contemplated on this.

His dark robe suddenly started glowing and turned into a dark wisp and seeped into his body, shocking him.

And now he was almost naked with only some pants on.

Jacob quickly figured out that this might have caused by Madam Feng.

And he quickly accepted the gift with gratitude.

[Yes]

He felt a profound feeling in his body

And his progress started speeding up quickly reaching 90%

Some minutes later 99%

AWAKENING HALTED!

"Due to some circumstance participant cannot awaken some of his abilities in the world tree."

Partially Awakening...

Jacob frustration reached new heights but was put to a sudden halt by the influx of aura in his body, and Jacob was sure that this amount was abnormal.

His body started getting filled up with more Aura than he can take, injuring him in the process but also healing at the same time.

Tickles of blood and impurities came out of his skin dirtying him but also disappearing with the influx of pure Aura.

This excruciating pain continued for ten minutes before stopping.

Jacob took in some deep breaths trying to calm down.

He stood up looking at himself, his muscles more refined and feeling stronger but not by a large margin.

He frowned when he noticed his status window.

He bellowed angrily cursing everything.

It was the first time he got this angry in his life.

A memory started surfacing that was hidden deep within his mind, the omnimous message he got from his phone telling him about his sisters death.

"Even though she isn't my blood sister and was adopted she still meant a lot to me, she mostly spent a lot of her time training, aiming to be strong and eventually joined the military hunting beasts and getting beast cores."

I need to know what happened Jacob muttered, I need to get out of here.

As if his prayers were answered a magic circle lit up under his feet transporting him out of the World Tree.

************

Minutes before...

In a dark room a figure shrouded in shadows was frantically drawing on the large table in front of him with a Golden pen Artifact.

Darkness and Madam Feng could be seen on the two sides of the table.

And as shadow finished drawing the runes it started glowing and they all started pouring their essence in it.

A dark opaque core started forming at the center of the formation being only give centimeters big an oppressive feeling filled the room.

Minutes passed with the core not being completed with Shadow, Darkness and Feng getting weaker they all knew they will have to sacrifice their life span just to force this core to form.

But a white light shone in the room obstructing some of their vision but what surprised them was not how blinding the light was but was the soul power inside it.

And the unstable core was stable just like that.

The three of them could guess who helped them. It was the soul phoenix a peak supreme being one level above them.

The intense light receded revealing a small phoenix with white feathers and a mysterious symbol on its forehead it spoke in a child like voice but it still held weight to the people present.

Your soul power isn't as vast as mine who's abilities soar in that area.

Darkness felt complex emotions in him, they all felt it.

The phoenix looked at them a bit before turning away. You guys don't need to pay me anything as am just helping my fellow Divine Beast the phoenix said before immediately leaving.

Now for the last step.

Feng brought a piece red cloth that wasn't it's original colour Feng placed it above the dark core and some drops blood leaked in it causing it to tremble a bit.

And the dark ball turned to a streak and shot towards the sky.
