"Mind you it's still warm and feels like a heart so there aren't any issues, thinking of which.."

Aurea playfully explained before then simply walking over to Celes and immediately pulling her into a passionate kiss surprising even Aurel having been busy in thought causing him to then immediately blush and Celes to then adorably pause.

Before then playfully looking to the blushing young prince having realized he had apparently left Aurea unrestricted resulting in Aurea being a serpentess to then immediately do what they do best!

Causing Aurea to then playfully lick her lips and the young prince to then immediately pout.

"Bi-Big bully! Ba-Bad Aurea! Ba-Bad serpentess! Ba-Bad Aurel!"

The young prince adorably pouted having already felt confused enough since he wanted Aurea to stay Aurea but she was simply a wild card even when they were sharing one mind!

Causing Aurea to then playfully shrug and Celes to then wipe away her blush before then stopping time within the room.

"Seven hours and an hour nap time? I hate stopping time now and my little Auri shouldn't make it a habit outside of timeless rooms.. unlike timeless spaces created by gods and spaces between time and space"

"Timeless rooms require divine artisans and are ultimately more convenient if not rarer?"

Celes adorably shrugged before then impatient grabbing both of their hands and kicking a poor innocent Alchemy Titan outside of its resting place and into the furthest wall..

Albeit no one knew it was an alchemy titan until it was in mid-air and the sheet covering it flew away.

Causing all three to helplessly pause and Celes to then helplessly look to the young prince since he might have wanted it and because it was most likely invaluable to then promise to herself that she'll give him an alchemy titan legion!

Unless she forgets.

While Aurea couldn't help but laugh after such a reveal while the poor young prince having not noticed it.

Before and wanted to play with it before it was broken to then adorably become teary before then adorably calming down and hugging Celes's arm.

"Ce-Celes is prettier than dumb titan!"

The young adorably mumbled causing Celes to then adorably sigh before then looking directly into his eyes and thoroughly head butting him!

Soon enough after the adorable antics and 'headbutts' had finally ended, experimentation had finally begun!

All three Dimensional Void Horrors were now ready to be experimented on!

Of course, the one with an active link to The Void Monarch despite being disconnected through the use of timeless space was still in fact there and watching albeit Celes didn't intend to touch it only make it watch.

While explaining the uses of the liquid void and how to easily collect it!

Of course, the young prince had already learned how to pick up spilled liquid through mana; however liquid void energy required a delicate touch!

Resulting in the still pouring liquid void being placed in jug-sized crystal potioning bottles used for any liquid bulk ingredients used for potioning really?

Thankfully enough Celes simply kept conjuring them up and filling them.

Liquid Void Energy was nearly priceless and even rarer to obtain so of course they'd squeeze as much of it as possible while Celes continued with her lessons!

Soon enough after what felt like four hours had passed the obsidian alchemist attires and boots.

They were typically worn for classified projects, and now all three wore them with their own unique insignias and rankings as junior artisans and Celes as a Divine Artisan, all of which were already made sticky.

After messily collecting six jugs of blood amounting to six gallons, nine jugs of liquid void energy amounting to nine, along with both of the void crystals, you'd quickly realize why.

Funnily enough, Celes had even given both and herself the black masks that disturbed their voices after unblurring and mumbling their faces when seen by that creep of a Void Monarch..

She really just said no to a humanoid form, speech, and simply wanted to creepily watch them!

The funniest part being the eye itself would occasionally move and didn't even hide it.. albeit both the young prince and Aurea could feel it through every chill in their spines.

Again despite being cut off by the timeless space the connection still remained and even if it was stuck in a timeless space.

Or that of between time and space or anything similar really, the fragment of The Queen Monarch would either become one even through a corpse or any void creature really and return.

Which in itself was scary enough due to the fact that a fragment contained everything that meant to be that Void Monarch and it only needed time or if it had enough resources and was left alone long enough it would become one.

And it could remain in the same form meaning you wouldn't know until it decided to go titanic!

Causing Celes having made sure it didn't have enough of those resources to then adorably stretch while both Aurea and the young prince to then adorably lean on each other on the ground having felt exhausted.

Causing Aurea to then lift her mask before then touching her sweat and wiping it on Celes's clean attire.

"I can still sweat and feel 'everything'.. you'd think this was a real body and not a shadow?"

Aurea tiredly complained surprising the young prince and causing Celes to then helplessly nod.

"As you may have realized most of the original magic when compared to the mainstream diluted modern-day magics are horribly underrated, many believe the diluted mana shadows as the original resulting in many being ignorant of the fact that the original shadows were simply mortal avatars?"

"The term shadow came a millennium after it was diluted so it's understandable that only a select few outside of the gods would know it? As for that mana reactor sooner or later it'll be absorbed and form a crystal comparable to a Sacred Beast's if not better making you no different from the original you"

"But to put it simply outside of that you can learn, break those restrictions and so forth while being able to keep Aurea in that avatar as your own keeping that semi-separate existence you prefer, be it from switching avatar bodies, or so forth?"

"Of course, my precious holy consort used the most advanced application of such a technique so unlike the mana and crystal mortal avatars you're on another league"

Celes lazily yawned surprising the young prince to no end having not known this if not he forgot to ask Frostma about it all the while causing Aurea to then pause at the revelation before then simply shrugging.

"Our minds are still connected and I still feel as if I could switch to Aurel at any moment so I don't really mind"

"I suppose it's because of that connection to begin with, for all intents and purposes without it I simply wouldn't want to stay in this mortal 'avatar' to begin with?"

Aurea lazily dismissed causing the young prince having confirmed those would be his exact words to then adorably nod.

Before then looking at the two slimy black void crystals to then think of absorbing them causing Celes having noticed this to then immediately frown before then flicking his forehead.

"Again with this? If you're so terrified of even looking at it, what makes you think absorbing its memories, experiences, and rules, and maybe even its bloodline if you're lucky makes it a good idea?!"

"It's a Peak Sacred Horror! This isn't going to be one of my 'friendly' reminders so I won't be gentle! You need to know that even attempting such a thing might even make you a target of that hussy!"

"Knowing how unpredictable it is you might even speak to her! If you really wanna do it then fine! But if anything bad happens just know outside of helping I won't take responsibility!"

Celes honestly pouted causing the young prince to then hesitantly nod before then adorably absorbing it having in truth felt reluctant until Tillie's Void Golden Necklace gently became warm as if telling him it'll be ok.

However unfortunately it wasn't! He had been absolutely and so utterly bamboozled!

If there was a ranking for people who were bamboozled head at least be in the top one hundred! Resulting in him feeling his mana veins and actual veins were lava hornets stinging him while he shook.

Not only that it eventually went to his head as he experienced trauma after trauma until finally here came his PTSD from his survival training!

Until finally after absorbing its experiences, a pure void rule, its memories along with deafening whispers he had decided to finally stop!

And what was even sadder was the fact that he had only been able to access forty-seven percent of the crystal itself meaning it was clearly restricted or sealed in other words.

Meaning he now completely believed he'd get a bloodline after meeting either its requirements or unsealing it somehow.

Causing him to then finally pass out before then being greeted by Adel all the while for Celes who now cradled the young prince simply sighed.

While looking at Aurea and was contemplating the same as the young prince all the while also ignoring what just happened since she was a proud serpentess!

Causing Celes after realizing this to then helplessly sigh even more.

"Ground rules.. chances are you didn't inherit his breakthrough sealing being a mortal avatar in all"

"So if you decide to 'try' and absorb at least we'd know if his stockpiled experiences, rules, and memories would truly force a breakthrough so go for it? If you pass out two I'll be here to carry both of you anyway"

Celes helplessly reminded causing Aurea to then playfully nod being the proud serpentess she is before then absorbing the second one as well.

Until finally after calming down and fighting the feeling of passing out she sighed with relief causing her after noticing something felt off to then look to Celes.

Who was now apparently pleasantly surprised.

"A Mid-Level Legendary Mage.. that was unexpected? And now your mana reactor not only skipped the cycle and became a crystal but instead went even further and became a Void Heart?"

"It's a surprise nonetheless since from what I can see you only received seventeen percent at the most from what you had absorbed from that crystal while little Auri received forty-seven percent"

"And since you became a Mid-Level Legendary Mage from a Mid-Level Archmage? Along with having a Void Heart, I'd roughly estimate he would become a Peak Legendary Powerhouse after unsealing?"

"The reasoning why you aren't is clearly because much of it went towards your Void Heart meaning if you haven't already, you could enter The Sacred Realm using the Void? Of course, I wouldn't suggest it because you'd have a similar form to one of these ugly things, while eventually, you'd go insane?"

Celes honestly explained clearly trying her best to prevent that and causing the still shocked Aurea to then helplessly nod knowing she definitely didn't want that.

Her serpent form was clearly better looking not to mention her pride of a serpentess and still being Aurel.

Ultimately resulting in her asking for a similar sealing, soon enough however they continued, to put it simply Celes had effortlessly removed the eyeballs and shrunk them in case her holy consort needed new ones one day.

And putting them in a small jar filled with Liquid Void and places it into his ring.

And funnily enough new massive eyeballs began regenerating much like everything else since again they weren't completely dead.

Resulting in Aurea after another hour simply placing the used-up two back into the space rings along with the crystals knowing chances are they'll look no different from before with time.

Of course, chances are they may be a bit diluted until they magically form another void crystal or perhaps actual organs.

In any case, the last one with the connection with the Void Monarch had simply watched and remained unchanged.

All the while after what felt like two hours had passed the young prince had finally woken up before then being greeted by the sight of Celes carrying him in one arm while helping Aurea with experimenting with potions.

Which in itself felt as if Celes was a supportive mom.. albeit that was a drastic exaggeration.

Causing the young prince to then sleepily kiss Celes's cheek causing Celes to then adorably do the same.

Before then gently placing him down and handing him the space ring containing everything aside from the single mixed gallon and The Void Monarch's not-so sneaky vessel who was still quiet adamant to watch.

Causing the young prince to then adorably whisper into Celes's ear wanting to see if he could scare it.

Causing Celes to then excitedly nod and Aurea knowing what's gonna happen next to then playfully nod while still trying to use that gallon of nonsense to create a potion of some kind...
