My Soul card is a Reaper

"C\'mon Chronos, can\'t I just practice here at home? There is an abundance of natural energy here anyway." Azzy complained as the Reaper suggested making a visit to the densest forest in the world and practicing the technique of Invincible Divine technique.

As forests are super rich in natural energy, he would have an easy time there. However, Azzy is against it because it isn\'t convenient and he doesn\'t want to stay away from his family.

The Reaper didn\'t take no for the answer as he explained, "Then, you can just forget about making a breakthrough to 8th tier. Within a week, it is impossible for you to attain such a level at this place. Remember your last match. How long did you take to refill your natural energy?"

Azzy thought for a bit and answered, "About 90 seconds I guess."

The Reaper then said, "If you go to the Pelican Rainforest, it will only take 7-8 seconds in comparison. Not to mention, you won\'t find any Spirit Beasts to worry about. Some of the animals lurking at that place might be a danger to mortals or Arcana Masters below rank-4, it is nothing for you."

Azzy felt like it isn\'t a bad idea but the idea of leaving his family again made him reluctant. He then asked, "Isn\'t there any place in Arcana World with an even denser environment? Can it be finished in 3 days?"

"Forest of Death," The Reaper answered him right away, "The natural energy is so rich there that you might even get to the ninth tier within a week."

"Uh, no thanks," Azzy wasn\'t a fool to commit suicide. A rank-5 region like that will be full of rank-9 beasts, which can be handled by only Supreme Realm experts. Because of the no emergence of Demigods in the past 100,000 years, who knows how many rank-10 beasts are taking rest at that place.

In the end, he decided to follow the Reaper\'s advice but with a slight twist. Instead of leaving right away, he thought of visiting the place when Affea and others depart for Athledon, the island country where the Moon Clan village is located.

The next day morning, Azzy left for the academy, not for classes or anything as he was still on a leave. He went to the Principal\'s office to meet his master.

Soon, both of them started walking towards the Training Grounds-Zero, which was allotted only for Class-Z. The students of Class Z were called the super elites of the academy.

If he was alone, Azzy would have probably been approached by the students to congratulate him but since he was with Barton, everyone just admire him from far away. The girls couldn\'t just stop giggling and murmuring among themselves as they stared at him.

Azzy was now at rank-6 and his ears are sharp enough to hear them. As Barton smiled and commented how he became too popular, Azzy couldn\'t help but get embarrassed, although inwardly. On the outside, his face was the same as if he was unfazed by the gazes or their murmurings.

After a seven-minute walk, the master and disciple reached the indoor training facility where classes for the rest of the students of Class-Z were going on.

They didn\'t go and visit the class zone and just directly went to the gravity chamber and increased it to the maximum, 10g. Azzy was naturally unaffected but he doesn\'t why they came to a gravity chamber for practicing sealing techniques.

Barton then spoke, "Your comprehension of sealing techniques isn\'t at a level where you can be taught advanced techniques but keeping your shortage of time in mind, today, I will teach you a special sealing ability that I created. I call it \'Gravity Suppression\'. To achieve it, first, you must grasp the essence of gravity. That is why you are brought here.

The first step in mastering the sealing technique is to discover the graviton particles present in the gravitational energy.

The second step is to connect these graviton particles with your soul energy. But, you cannot absorb these particles as you do with the natural energy, although I still wonder how you were able to do that.

Everyone has their own secrets and I respect that. Anyway, once you connect with the graviton particles, you go to the third step, which is to form the seal using the runes I will provide you.

The fourth step is the right combination of runes.

The fifth step would be collecting the gravitons into the seal you have formed.

And here, the seal will be formed successfully.

The sixth and final step would be applying the seal on the target. It can be anything from a normally inanimate object to a living body. When you gained enough mastery, you can even apply it to your surroundings and control the gravity within the applied area."

Azzy didn\'t need a lengthy explanation to realize its potential. He could already imagine the variations of this ability.

Comfortably sitting on the floor, Azzy started to meditate. He used his Aura Sensing ability to sense the gravitons. In the past, he used the same technique to identify the natural energy particles.

Upon eliminating everything that he can recognize like the natural energy particles, his master, or even the sunrays, Azzy sensed them right away. If the natural energy particles appeared like bubbles, the gravitons are more like rain drops.

He let out his micro-sized thin threads of soul energy to connect with them and here\'s where something strange happened. The soul energy was supposed to contain the gravitons and bring them back to the seal.

But, Azzy couldn\'t even get bothered to perform the seal as the gravitons that got contact with his soul energy were readily absorbed in his body just like the natural energy as he tried to contain them.

The Protos energy was awakened all of a sudden and Azzy called for the Reaper\'s help as he could see thousands of energy threads erupting from Azzy\'s body followed by greedily absorbing all the artificial gravitons present.

The gravity chamber was equipped with machines that actually store original graviton particles and were then multiplied within the reactors before releasing them into the isolation room according to the level one chosen. When required, they will release the particles and when not required, the gravitons will be absorbed and stored.

Barton just watched in a daze as his student absorbed every graviton released into the room in just 10 seconds of time, transforming a gravity chamber into a normal room.

*error* Error* *Auto Shutdown initiated*

The artificial intelligence issued a warning before reporting the malfunctioning of the machines and shutting down the system.

Azzy wasn\'t aware of his surroundings as he was in a deep meditative state, completely concentrating on the trillions of gravitons that are being absorbed into his soul orb, disrupting the balance inside. With the Reaper\'s assistance, all of them were pushed into the back of his neck, forming a mole but in the shape of a star.

It was also big enough to look like a tattoo.

Once the process was completed, the Reaper\'s voice echoed in his head, "Congratulations kiddo, you received a blessing in disguise. It looks like the Goddess of Fortune Tyche is looking after you."

Azzy didn\'t understand it, "What do you mean?"

The Reaper explained, "The gravitons that you absorbed are artificially cultivated ones using a futuristic technology that doesn\'t exist in this era. Maybe, that alien woman scientist was behind this technology. Anyway, The Protos energy is a bit sensitive to things that aren\'t natural, so, I guess that\'s why it acted, although it should have tried to destroy them on contact.

But, instead, it swallowed them up. Anyway, I managed to store them in your body and sealed them up."

"Okay, what now?" Azzy still couldn\'t understand what the Reaper was trying to say.

"Now, my host, you will cultivate those particles with the aid of natural energy and I will slowly assimilate them into your cells instead of soul orb." The Reaper sounded a bit happier as he explained it, "Once the process is completed, you can manipulate gravity around you. Of course, this will take time."

Azzy absorbed all the information and asked, "So, in the search for gold, I stumbled upon a diamond mine?"

"More like a meteorite rich in Adamantium," The Reaper confirmed. "Anyway, gravity manipulation is far away. You should focus on the current situation. "

"I see…" Azzy smiled inwardly and then, opened his eyes to find a dazed old man.
