NOVPUBI could feel each of my Familiars in my body, I was used to Nix in my shadow and Orion in my blood, but this was the first time for the others to be in my body like this, especially Hinata, I could feel that my connection with her it is the weakest with Sakura coming in second, at least until Sakura goes through the Divine Awakening deepening our connection even further.
Everything about Hinata has always been unique, a manipulated, wounded, and incomplete soul, I did my best to help her in the past, but in the end, her physical body was gone and her Spectral form demonstrates the emptiness within herself, without any expression and just managing understand emotions almost without feeling them.
I know how to trace all my Familiars’ power to sources, but Hinata’s power has always been a mystery to me, her Aura, her Authority and everything about her has this feeling of strangeness.
Apart from her possessing my body, I can feel the differences, she is literally hugging my Soul like it was a body pillow.
"Master idiot, are you listening!" (Layla)
"..." (I)
"What it was?" (I)
I suddenly realized that Elizabeth, Alice, and the Divine Beast that helped me are here looking at me, for a few moments my mind just stopped working and wandering.
"Sorry, what were we talking about?" (I)
"This is the fifth time, he won’t stand it..." (Elizabeth)
"Don’t underestimate the boy, he’ll be fine... probably..." (Blood Sin)
"He can’t bear it, just the Familiars are already a burden, even if they are part of the solution, they are also part of the problem by increasing the weight on top of him." (Elizabeth)
"I said he’ll be fine, he shouldn’t explode... probably..." (Blood Sin)
"He’s already better than he was before, where he needed help just to keep from exploding." (Blood Sin)
"Lady Elizabeth, she is right, no matter how risky the master’s current situation is, we cannot ignore the fact that he is still better than before." (Alice)
"Also, Lady Blood Sin, I’m sorry if I seem rude, but could you stop saying "probably" in every sentence where you talk about master’s health condition." (Alice)
"Can someone talk to me about what’s going on? I seem to have missed part of the conversation where I’m part of the topic at hand, so if you could..." (I)
They’re all talking like I’m not here, but from what they said, it seems like this wasn’t the first lapse I’ve had.
"Let me take a look." (Blood Sin)
Without saying anything else, the Divine Beast disappears and I feel a hand on my back from which a wave of Divine Power spreads through my body.
"As you can see, he’s fine." (Blood Sin)
"Master, do you feel anything?" (Alice)
"I’m fine, how I feel doesn’t matter, just tell me what we were talking about." (I)
The woman who looks like my mother just turned into a puddle of blood on the floor that dragged herself somewhere, it seems like this has happened a few times and she doesn’t seem to want to continue this repetitive conversation.
"I’ll explain it to you one more time and I hope it’s the last, keeping your Familiars is increasing your overall stamina, that’s the reason you’re still alive without others trying to keep you alive like we were doing before." (Elizabeth)
"The problem is that your Familiars only add weight to your Soul." (Elizabeth)
"The body can be replaced and healed, the mind can adapt given enough time, but the Soul needs to integrate the Essences completely to grow, which is not the case now, some of its Essences are experiencing rejection." (Elizabeth)
"Those would be my Penumbra Fairy Magic Essence, Star Corruption Tree Essence, and my Chaos Spiritual Essence." (I)
"These 3 Essences represent the natural energies Mana, Ki and Spiritual Energy." (I)
"Master, you have said this 3 times so far, this was the fourth time." (Alice)
Sigh
"The blackouts are not a problem in your mind, but in your Soul, the pressure must be enormous to the point that other Souls have already been crushed a long time ago..." (Elizabeth)
It seems that my condition is worse than I expected, perhaps Hinata hugging my Soul is an attempt to lessen the burden on me or just her way of comforting me.
"I don’t know anything about these blackouts, so I’ll be straight if I create the 3 Natural Power Sources will I be able to solve this problem?" (I)
"Yes, but not completely, it will solve the problem of rejection as your unique elements will be added to the natural circle of the universe, but this will only solve part of the problem until you become a God by fully integrating your powers, Authority and Essences in harmony with your Soul, the problem will not..." (Elizabeth)
"Your explanation is too long and I don’t have time, I already know these things, I just need to resolve the immediate crisis now." (I)
-----------------
I was in the Communal Temple inside the Dungeon, I have many things to do, but the first is to settle things with Sakura.
Inside the Communal Temple is the pool of blood where my Holy Power is stored, the accumulation of the Dungeon people’s Faith in me, and is now almost completely empty.
Karina was kneeling on one side of the pool and Alice was kneeling on the other side, I could see and feel three streams of Holy Power heading towards the bottom of the pool, the third stream was coming from my own statue in the middle of the empty blood pool.
"They are filling the pool, but it will still take days, without their help it would take at least a month." (Nix)
"I abused the Holy Power a lot in this battle, I didn’t imagine I would need it so urgently." (I)
"We don’t need to do this now..." (Sakura)
"Yes we do, I can only create the Sources of Power by relying on you, and for that I need you to Awaken your Divinity with the power of the Essences." (I)
Nix was with half her body outside my shadow and Sakura was just using a vine coming out of my shoulder to speak as if it were the head of a snake.
"That will work?" (I)
"Yes, you will increase the flow to twice the current speed, leave the rest to the two of us." (Karina)
"Thank you... huhh!!" (I)
I nearly lost consciousness as a jolt of pain seemed to course through my body before sinking into my Soul, where I felt my Familiars helping to keep everything together.
Hinata was the one who helped the most, I could feel her absorb this pain directly from my Soul with one bite.
Sigh
"Lets start now." (I)
I jump into the pool and as soon as I do I feel the 3 streams of Divine power changing their direction towards me.
The Holy power began to enter my body before returning to the pool where the little blood at the bottom began to make drops float to my surroundings, shining before spinning like a whirlpool as I went into meditation, to try and better resist what was close to me to happen.
Ding!
<[ Want to initiate Sakura’s (Titan Empress of the Night Forest Incarnation) Divine Awakening? ]>

<[ Yes / No ]>
"(Yes!)" (I)

Pov Vanessa’s:
I was looking at my Father, his body was sweating red blood while purple light and silver light circulated around him, and the blood at the bottom of the pool was swirling violently as if in a storm.
I looked at Karina and Alice, both of them were trying hard to keep up with my Father while the statue already became a column of light burning in Starfire.
"Will he resist this?" (I)
"Go, I’m here to make sure of that, this idiot must think I’m his personal healer with how often he uses my power." (Natasha)
"What are we going to do when he gets out of there?" (I)
"I don’t know, Elizabeth seems to have an idea, but she went to Bloodsin and High Priestess Yara for this, didn’t even tell me anything when I asked." (Natasha)
"I hope it works..." (I)
Cough Cough
I suddenly felt all my blood flow in reverse before parts of my veins tore, my wings began to bleed as did my eyes and this continued until Natasha placed her hand on my head, her comforting power spreading throughout my body.
"You were containing the Blood Sin within you, you shouldn’t be standing by now." (Natasha)
"I still have things to do..." (I)
"Go back to bed now, don’t make me break your legs and chain you to the bed." (Natasha) 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"..." (I)
"Now!" (Natasha)
"..." (I)
Sigh
There’s no point in staying here any longer, so I go back to my room, I would like to at least look at my father, I’m worried, but I’m not in a position to take care of others myself.
As soon as I lay in bed I felt the accumulated tiredness taking my consciousness and before I knew it I was facing a tree made of stars with countless silhouettes around me.
