Chapter 606 – Pocket Girls
On her holy day, she discards her regrets for a while and decides to germinate her powers first rather than her body.
“…Unfortunately, for now, I’d rather do something that awakens your powers rather than shape your body. Powers look so good…”
“All right! After all, as time passes and the aura of the spirit spring deepens, my body will also be created, so what…”
Weed Grasil accepted unexpectedly coolly. After answering, she begins to float in the air without waiting for the answer of her holy day.
‘Is it starting right away…?’
While Seong-il is stunned by her bold action, Weedgrassil rises above the vast meadow and begins to fiercely focus her powers.
Wooooo!!!
“…Kuh!”
Waves of light and power that were so intense that Seongil flinched for a moment. Soon after, the light faded, and Widgrassil appeared again in front of Seongil’s eyes.
“…Are you okay?”
The condition of Widgrassil that makes Seong-il ask questions of concern without realizing it. Her body was noticeably more blurred than when I saw her just a moment ago.
“Are you okay! It’s just that my spiritual body was blurred because I invested my power into it, it’s true that my body’s power has become stronger than before!”
“Ah…”
Seong-il puts on a relieved expression when he is told that there is no problem with the group going to Widgrasil. As if the sincerity of such Seongil had been conveyed, Widgrassil smiled broadly and stretched out her hand to Seongil, handing her something.
“This…?”
『Sapling containing pieces of my essence!! If you plant this in a cleared world, a tree containing my essence will grow!! However, a clone tree that looks like that can be damaged from outside attacks, so if possible, plant it in a safe place!”
“Ohh…”
At Widgrassil’s words, Seong-il puts on an interesting expression and starts examining the branch she gave him.
“What?”
While examining her authority by projecting emotions on the tree branches, Seong-il feels that one of the four tree branches contains a different power.
“This… Why is this small twig different in power? It seems small but has a deeper power…?”
“And! Did you feel it?! Amazing!!”
To the question of her holy day, with a proud expression, Weed Grasil answered by patting her holy day.
『Three are the seedlings from which I will make my alter ego! One is an artifact I made to help the master!”
“…Artifacts?”
“Huh!! Would you like to put a small twig on your wrist?”
Seong-il was puzzled by Wid Grassil’s explanation of putting it in her hands without her explanation, but he calmly acted as she instructed.
Sooooo good!!
“Oh…?”
Then, the branch wrapped around Seongil’s wrist and began to combine with the evergreen bracelet he received as a gift from the World Tree of Mythology in the past.
“Lol! I added my powers to the bracelet her mother gave me before! Now the owner can open a town portal that can travel up to 100km once a day! Casting is instant! However, you must know in advance where you are going!”
“Ohhh…”
With Grasil, who upgraded the evergreen bracelet that the World Tree had given Seongil as a gift in the past. Even, the upgrade performance is dozens of times better than the teleport ring that Seong-il really used in the past, so he is really happy.
‘Compared to a portal ring that can be used three times a month, this is almost a fraudulent item, isn’t it?!’
‘In addition, the evergreen bracelet was of no use to me except for the entwined roots… But with this, it’s not a waste to wear it!!’
Excluding the wide-area obstruction skill, Entangling Roots, as Seong-il expressed, it was true that the power to summon fruit trees that allow you to eat fruits, and to chase away poisonous snakes and insects was ambiguous.
He is really happy when an item he had been thinking about whether or not to wear is instantly upgraded to a superior level.
‘By the way, my fashion is becoming more and more avant-garde…’
Wearing a grotesque incomprehensible ring on her finger, and an evergreen bracelet on her right wrist. On the left, Seongil wearing the Chrono Shield, a watch he got from the Pocket Girls world.
He laughs bitterly while looking at his utilitarian fashion for a while, then holds up a branch and expresses his gratitude to Widgrasil.
“Thank you! First of all, I’m going to plant a sapling in the farm story world, so can you check if it gathers faith?”
“Huh!!”
After smiling brightly at Widgrasil, who responds coolly, Seong-il moves into the world of farm stories.
“Oh…”
When Seong-il plants a seedling in Youngsaem, which is located in the corner of the farm, the tree starts to grow at a tremendous speed and transforms into an ordinary tree.
‘Aside from the trees, the open grassland is incredibly wide?’
The size of a green meadow generated by a normal sapling on a holy day. The garden quickly covered most of Sungil’s farm with green meadows.
‘When I first made the garden of the goddess, it was wide…? Quite a lot of people might be able to live with this amount…’
Interestingly, as a result of observation over a long period of time, the land on which the garden of the goddess was created was oxygen, etc. Everything necessary for living beings was fully provided.
For this reason, Seong-il is convinced that if these saplings spread throughout the world or dimension in the future, they can restore a broken world or enable people to survive in a barren place like the Inner Plain.
‘… I think the sapling is a really important guy. I don’t know how yet, but there seems to be an additional way to use it.’
Now, if the response gives an ambiguous stimulus, Sung-il never passes the feeling. He has a hunch that he can do something more with this seedling in the future.
“How is it? Are you out of faith?”
Seong-il opens a portal that connects reality and the farm world by manifesting the power of seedlings. He asks the goddess on the other side of her portal if her faith is passing properly beyond her dimension.
“Oh…!! Come over!!』
Fortunately, when the situation goes as hypothesized, Seong-il breathes a sigh of relief.
‘With this, faith in the goddess can be widely spread across dimensions. Are you okay…?’
Belief in the goddess is directly related to the growth of the dimension tree, and when the dimension tree becomes stronger, one’s own power becomes stronger, so on the holy day, he decides to plant seedlings and dispatch priests in every corner of the dimension regardless of any means or methods.
‘Once… Arrill discusses with the goddess and establishes the doctrine, then we should start in earnest.’
Seong-il was thinking about the future for a while. An alarm starts ringing on his phone.
“Hmm? What is it?”
A message from a follower with the Urgent indicator checked. Seong-il, puzzled by the notation that has not been checked for quite some time, quickly presses the message and examines the contents.
『Seongil!! It’s done!! The superpower imprint is complete!!』
“Oh…?”
A sudden contact from a follower in the Pocket Girls world. She was informing Seong-il that the technique of awakening and imprinting the psychic powers he had requested was completed.
“Should I go to this right now?”
Since this technology would be of great help to him as well, Seong-il stops thinking about it and quickly moves into the world of Pocket Girls.
***
“Seongil!! You’re here!!”
It must have been waiting for Seongil’s visit in advance, a figure that had been waiting in advance in the private room where the follower portal was installed.
“Yeah. How are you?”
“Ugh!! I’m tired from helping the doctor every day!! Well, to me who’s smart, that kind of work is nothing!!”
‘…It must have been very hard.’
Seong-il feels a smile on his face when he sees Hana’s unique cute bravado for the first time in a while.
“Anyway, follow me!! The doctor is waiting for you!!”
Hana pulls Seong-il’s arm, whom he has not seen in a long time, and takes him to Dr. Jun’s lab in a hurry.
“Oh! The holy day has arrived!! Did you come quickly?”
“It’s nothing else, it’s a magic imprint problem, but you have to come quickly.”
“Ha ha!! That’s right. Would you like to come here? I’ll show you the results!”
“Yes.”
At Seong-il’s answer, Dr. Jun smiles and calls Seong-il to himself. And he points to the empty glass dome.
“This time, an artificial psychic Awakener came out. I’ll demonstrate it there.”
“Oh… Is that so? By the way… Artificial supernatural powers are said to have been performed on ordinary people… Is it okay if I share the technology with the outside world now?”
“It can’t be! It’s still too early.”
“Ah…?”
Seong-il is confused because he does not understand Dr. Jun’s words that he performed the procedure on an ordinary person after replying that it is premature to disclose the technology to the outside world.
“One. Get ready.”
‘…No way?’
Surprised by Dr. Jun’s words, Seong-il looks back and forth between Dr. Jun and Hana. Meanwhile, one enters the glass dome and raises his hands in the air.
“I’m ready!! Doctor!!”
“Um! Let’s start!”
With one word, Dr. Jun presses the operating device installed in the laboratory. Then he is a scarecrow popping out of the glass dome.
“Haap!!”
When the scarecrow appears, Hana skillfully lifts the stones scattered on the floor with her telekinesis and throws them at her target.
Quaang!!
A stone that flies at high speed and smashes the scarecrow. Every time a scarecrow appears several times, one skillfully throws a stone at the target and smashes it.
‘Every time Hana uses telekinesis, it seems that power comes out from the engraving on her back?’
Seong-il was able to roughly figure out what mechanism she was using her psychic powers from her sensitivity.
‘Unlike magic imprints that memorize magic, psychic imprints store refined mana in tattoos on the back, right? Interesting…’
Unlike magic, which uses mana in a formalized formula, supernatural power seems to be specialized in refining the mana ‘ itself ‘ as it is relatively free to use.
“How is it?”
“…Isn’t that great?”
“Whoop whoop…”
As if her impression of the holy day was to her liking, Dr. June began to explain to him with a satisfied smile.
“The knowledge of the other world that you passed on to us was really helpful. Like how to use magic in the world of Mythology. Like martial arts.”
“Oh yeah?”
“Yes. Based on that knowledge and the physical activity of wild psychics, we learned how psychic powers are implemented and how to safely awaken them. What you are seeing right now is the result.
“Oh… I guess the safety issue has been resolved?”
In fact, the technology itself was a situation where some progress was made some time ago. However, when it seems that the stability problem, which was difficult to solve at the time, has also been solved, Seong-il asks a question to hear a definite answer.
“Yes. I was really confused at first, but with the potion you gave me and the skills from the other world, I finally succeeded in overcoming the problem. The method is…”
Dr. June calmly begins to explain the mechanism to him. Seong-il would not have been able to understand his story in the past, but he, who has increased his intelligence through nanomachines, succeeds in understanding his words.
“…You mean, in a situation where the organs are protected in advance with a potion made by analyzing the elixir, they engrave a magic circle that stimulates the organs with magical energy and induces their awakening gradually?”
“That’s right. After mana permeates organs and muscles like that, the central imprint installed in the middle of the back is naturally activated to awaken the telekinesis.”
“Like…”
Quite an interesting mechanism. Seong-il starts asking him questions calmly.
“What happens to your superpowers if you remove the imprint?”
“I can’t use it. But, if it’s short, it’s three months. If it’s long, it’s about half a year. If you have an imprint on your body, mana starts to seep into your muscles and organs. Surprisingly, in that case, you can use telekinesis even if you erase the imprint.”
“Oh…”
In fact, Dr. Jun’s answer is that psychic powers can be awakened artificially. Seong-il realizes that he has finally solved the puzzle that has been bothering him.
“Ah! By the way, if the general public uses it, this imprint must never be tampered with!”
“…Why?”
“The reason is simple! Forcibly injecting too much mana into an ordinary person who is not familiar with magic can cause that person’s intelligence to deteriorate like a wild psychic!! Sun!”
“Aha…”
Dr. Jun’s imprint seemed to be a safety-oriented imprint that calmly awakens psychic powers from body parts with relatively strong resistance to magical power.
“By the way… Do you also need a potion? It must be a headache to use that excuse…”
“No. I don’t need the Mythology world.”
“Yes? Why…?”
Seong-il is embarrassed when he suddenly says that potions are not needed to solve problems in the world of misology.
“It’s simple! The ‘wizards’ in that world are basically familiar with ‘magical power’. Even if you don’t protect your organs with potions, you should be able to awaken your supernatural powers without damaging your body. Hometown. That’s why it’s the ‘reality’ standard.”
“Ohh…!”
Seong-il is very happy when Dr. Jun says that he does not need additional protection.
‘Now I just have to think about how to bring this technology to the world of Mythology and spread it.’
