CH842

The blessing and curse spirits, lightning, fungal, and magma spirits, decay spirits, mud spirits, and more. If the great spirits were able to find holders of a given magic then they had brought them, no matter how obscure the combined affinity might have been and ended with more combined great spirits than pure ones by the end as the yard was filled with them and the smaller spirits they’d rule over, the very nature of their race and their status within the world permanently changed. They had been the most powerful beings on the planet since the moment they’d arrived and now their numbers had grown like never before.

It was a change that was certain to have some sort of fallout but whatever it ended up being, Ben felt confident that the world would still be better for it. He’d look in all of their thoughts and the minds of the spirits who’d parented them and Abrus and the others had done a good job in their selection. Their natures had transferred over enough that, even if they’d all still grow and change as time went on like any living being, he felt confident that the odds of any of them growing to be as callous as Vividus could be were low. A feeling that he only needed to look to the side to confirm, with many of the new great spirits already surrounding Thera to give their greetings or to just talk, the love for their princess carried down their family line.

Which means there’s only one more thing to do.

<Sit down and have a nice long think about the potential long-term consequences of this?>

What? No, obviously not.

What he did instead was reach out around him, trying to push connect in a slightly different way by copying the skills of each spirit onto his rings.

While each magic was the equivalent of a ninth-leveled awakened magic, the power of the spirits themselves was unleveled and while he had Uliel’s archmagic already, having better individual variants at his fingertips would only help him when it came time to build up whatever enchantments he’d need, smiling at the end as they all went down.

Aaand, done. Perfect

<…Please tell me you didn’t go along with radically altering the power structure of the planet just so you could add to your rings.>

What? Come on, none of this was even my idea! If I just happened to find a little benefit for myself after then what’s the harm? I’m just trying my best to be a good guardian for Mora, and speaking of…

He crouched down beside the boy, watching as he looked around at all he’d helped create with interest before Ben pulled him from his thoughts.

“So, still feeling okay about all of this?”

“It’s too late not to be.”

“Ha, sure but that’s not what I asked.”

“…I am,” He said after a moment’s thought. “This is the first time I’ve pushed myself like that. It felt good.”

“Good, but that leaves us one more thing to talk about, kiddo.”

“Hmm, what?”

“You made sure that every great spirit got their own regular spirits and you know I’m a mind reader, I could tell that even the perfectly sane ones didn’t feel right or complete until they had some to look after themselves but now what about you? How do you feel?”
