Supreme Origin: Time King

Chapter 154: XV Supreme Origin of Metal

Time flew after releasing the Neo Origins. It has been nearly two years since his arrival here and there was much to learn. As Elijah and Yawen knew the time they had to enter the vortex, he spent most of the money he received from selling the Neo Origins to buy many precious materials in Delta City.

....

At night, Elijah could not get any sleep at all. Feeling bored he gazed below only to see Yawen resting on top of him with her head against his chest. Although he could never say this out loud, he guessed that the reason he could not sleep was because of a body made fully of metal and other heavy materials that weight more that a thousand ponds resting above him. 'Do robots really get to sleep?'

In the end Elijah did what every man would do, he stayed shut and waited. Moving his hand, he gently stoked Yawen's back.

"Mast... er. Yawen, are you awake?" During all this time she seemed to sleep like any other person, but the moment he asked, her big eyes instantly opened to look at him.

Elijah took a deep breath, "We won't be able to find more materials here. There is still a week before we enter the vortex so I was thinking if you could use our flying car to search for the materials in the other cities."

"Okay, but I want my reward first." Elijah was confused, however he quickly understood the moment he felt a hand grabbing at his bottom. He was sweating cold at this point.

"Uh? No your body is still to heavy for me."

"What did you say?!"

"Nothing! I said nothing."

"Good."

....

In the morning of the next day Yawen took their flying car, Void Shark and had traveled to the other Cities to search for the materials while Elijah waited until she leaves before leaving the bedroom with a pale face and back pain.

After breakfast, he headed for his lab on mars and as he stepped into the lowest level which was nothing other that dark. With energy flowing in his eyes, the entire room was lit by his luminous eyes.

This room had nothing more than a few boxes. Each containing part of the material he gathered for months, next he took a blank book.

"In my memories, the origin race used an ancient ritual to record and observe the origin of the cultivator and the level he was. If it was any other person I think a single page would work, as for me."Elijah murmured before dripping a drop of ichor on the cover of the book.

Wiiirl! It was like all the light in the room was absorbed by the book before it slowly opened.

A enormous list of supreme origins appeared before his eyes, however it was incomplete. Showing only from the 99th in the rank to the 30th.

"So I could only see this much. For now I'll use the materials I gathered to nurture the Supreme Origin of Metal." The reason he gathered all of it on Mars was because if something could go wrong.

Gathering all the metals in the center of the room, Elijah looked at the materials. "I should start with black Iron."

Closing his eyes, a metallic-grey rune appeared in his hand and he aimed at a huge pile of iron.

Lamet! All of sudden, it was like flames were thrown at the iron which slowly melted before being absorbed by the supreme origin of metal. Little by little, what seemed to be a huge pile containing shades of dark materials continually shrunk until nothing was left. After fishing with the black Iron, it was the turn of Core Gold and then titanium alloy.

On the second day, Yawen returned bringing more that ten tons of steel and other materials like Theinium, a special alloy made with materials found in other planets comparable to mithril so he could absorb it too. Just like the previous times, it took a whole day before it finished absorbing the metals but like yesterday, nothing changed within the rune. The supreme origin of metal was still inactive.

Only on the third day did he start absorbing materials from other worlds like Starry Silver from Peuh. Maybe because it was different from the other materials as this one is not tough, it also had the ability to disperse any poison as it emits constant light together with high density elemental energy. The only problem is that it was very hard to absorb. Even after sending heat towards the pile of silver for a whole day did nothing to it other than becoming a bit red.

Days passed and just one day before the barrier opened, did he succeeded in melting the starry silver and its absorption by the Origin.

And this time, the rune finally showed signs of changing as it radiated colorful lights belonging to each material it absorbed with starry-silver being the brightest. Numerous words entered his mind together with some of the light.

First Stage: unlocked

Abilities Unlocked:

Metal Manipulation(First Stage): gives the porter the ability to manipulate at will any metal without spirit.

"Yawen, prepare the car! We are good to go." Now that he finally unlocked Lamet, there was no reason to stay here anymore. transmitting his voice back to earth, directly into Yawen's soul. He open the spatial gate back to his home and just before he leaved, Elijah stopped and took a small hammer form the pocket space and gaze at it deeply.

"Where are you Chloe?" The heart imprint at the head of the hammer shined nonstop as it quietly pulsed. Gently stroking the hammer, he headed towards a huge dark car that could be mistaken for a spaceship.
