[ All right, her birthday is exactly six months later. ] The system announced inside Jason's head.

The teenager lost his concentration and opened his eyes. The divine energy which was previously making him feel dizzy was now calmly swirling around.

'It took Erebus two hours to just get a birthday date…'

[ Time flows differently in the bar. What might have been a five minute conversation would feel longer in different realms. ] The system pointed out.

Jason sighed and stood up from his spot. He looked at the crib placed in the corner of the room.

The baby lying inside the crib was responsible for creating such thick waves of divine energy.

'What else did Erebus tell you about her?'

[ Well, if her divine energy isn't contained, it will blow up everything in a two hundred kilometer radius, including the academy. ] The system replied awkwardly. [ Not only that but this energy would mutate all the beasts in the nearby area. ]

'Anything else you might wanna add? What about an ancient beast which will be unsealed if divine energy is supplied to it?'

[ I am afraid nothing else is left to add. The idea isn't half bad though. Anyways, its best if we move her away from here or otherwise, things will get super complicated. ] 𝗳𝘳𝒆𝘦𝑤𝐞𝚋𝗻𝚘𝘷𝘦𝙡.𝑐𝐨𝘮

'When are things not super complicated?' Jason asked with an amused expression. 'Is there a way to stabilize the child's divinity?'

[ There is one way to do that but its kinda… dangerous. ] 𝑓𝚛𝚎ℯ𝘸𝙚𝘣𝚗𝘰νeƖ.c𝒐𝐦

'Go ahead and tell me. I breathe dangerous most of the times.'

[ Aren't you feeling a bit too confident? ] The system asked worriedly. [ I don't think I have ever heard you speak in this manner. ]

'What do you mean? This is just my normal self.'

Jason casually strolled towards the crib and peered at the baby. May had her eyes closed and seemed to be sleeping.

After activating his mana vision, Jason could divine particles coming out from the center of her body and merging together with the mana in the air.

[ Hestia, isn't Jason acting weird? ] The system consulted Hestia while making sure that Jason couldn't listen to their conversation.

[ I think its the effects of the divine energy that Jason absorbed. Since the divinity belongs to Sun Wukong, such changes are a bit expected. ]

After hearing her words, the system quickly pulled on all the data she had on Sun Wukong.

[ Sun Wukong is the fearless monkey key, often called as the Sage of Heaven or the Stone Monkey. His personality is often said to be quite relaxed and arrogant. ] The system summarized.

[ Jason is basically acting a bit like Wukong. Once we leave the room, it will take a few minutes for him to return to normal. ]

[ I see… ]

While the system and Hestia were having this conversation, Jason was examining May's body with his vision.

He noticed that she had an enormous amount of mana sealed inside her mana cores yet due to her sealed powers as a demi-god, she couldn't make use of her abilities.

'The same must be true for her divinity but since its contains divine energy which is much stronger than mana, her divinity must have started leaking.' Jason guessed and concluded his observation. 'I am still waiting for your reply system.'

[ Right. To pull her out of this condition, you will have to pull a large chunk of divine energy out of her divinity and seal her divinity again. The problem is that you can't let it roam free.

You will have to store the divine energy inside one of your divinities, specifically me. But to do that, you must have some sort of connection with May, like blood connection or a power bond. ]

'I don't think I have either of those with her.' Jason replied with a frown.

[ You are correct, host. However, you can form a sort of temporary connection with her by absorbing more of the divine energy present in the atmosphere. Once you have done that, you can expel the divine energy inside her.

I will automatically absorb it inside your soul and lock it in case you or Hestia need it for future use. But there are many risks involved in this. You want to do this? ]

'Hmm, having divine energy inside me is quite useful. Judging from the past of our family, its better if I have a weapon like that at my disposal. Plus having a demi-god with me is definitely going to be quite an addition.'

[ Don't think of her as a tool to manipulate, host. Her mother already went through so much suffering… You can try to befriend her, which in turn, can let you to having a way to talk with Sun Wukong. ]

Though the system didn't like this form of reasoning, it knew that the current Jason was not the one it was familiar with.

That was why it was better to counter his thinking with something similar, just put in a different way.

'You're right about that. I will start gathering the divine energy right now.' Jason replied and sat cross-legged on the floor. 'Hestia, can you please explain this to the monkey outside?'

[ No problem. ]

Hestia suddenly materialized in front of Jason in her wolf form. Surprisingly, her size had changed a lot.

The best comparison would be to say that she had turned into a teenage wolf, just like Jason. Her fur had grown thicker and sparks of lightning continuously flickered around her body.

Hestia slowly walked out of the room and closed the door behind her. She did this by using her powers since it was nearly impossible for a wolf to be able to open a locked door without breaking it open.

The red-butt monkey king suddenly snapped to attention when he felt the familiar aura around him.

He jolted awake and stood straight. His gaze landed on the wolf present in front of him. With one knee bending, the monkey king knelt and paid homage to Hestia.

"How are you, supreme guardian?"

"I am all right, thank you for asking." Hestia replied politely. "I just want to inform you that Jason will be spending quite some time inside the room. Please don't bother us."

"As you say, my lady."

If any human had heard them talking, they would be left wondering as to what both of them were saying.

After all, Hestia and the RB monkey king were talking in their own languages.

"I will go back now." Hestia said at last and went inside the room again, locking it behind her back.

RB monkey king immediately got up from his place and exited his house. According to the supreme guardian, it was best if he asked everyone to gather at the edge of the village until the coast was clear.

This would ensure that none of the monkeys would be hurt while Jason was dispelling the divine energy out of May's divinity.

The RB monkey king took Hestia's words seriously and immediately planned to evacuate. He didn't want to put any of his subjects in danger.

As for Hestia, she was looking at Jason with a worried expression.

[ Jason, don't you think you should at least tell Risa about this? ]

'You are right, I should do that.' Jason suddenly opened his eyes and thought of his grandmother.

Since he had never officially learned how to contact her using their family connection, Jason blindly aimed for her by simply thinking about her.

He felt a weird tingling sensation passing throughout his body. It was as though his own blood was doing something against him.

"Hello?" Jason called out.

Static noise suddenly exploded inside his head, making him clutch his ears in pain. Jason groaned a bit yet he managed to battle the pain.

'Huh?'

A clicking sound resounded inside his mind before he was connected with Risa, at least that's what he assumed.

[ Jason? ] Risa's voice echoed inside his head.

"Yes, its me, grandma. I just wanted to tell you that I won't be meeting you for quite some time. I'm in the middle of an important thing and I will see you later on." Jason hurriedly got the message through since the static was returning slowly.

[ Huh? Can you at least tell me your location? ] Risa asked, her voice slowly fading away.

"Beginner's area. Royal academy!" Jason barely got the four words out before the static invaded his mind.

He hurriedly cut of the connection, not sure of how he did it.

"Haa… haa…" Jason started panting once the connection had disappeared.

He wiped the sweat of his forehead and started meditating again. The divine energy around him swirled to a great extent and entered his body at once.

Time passed by as droplets of sweat appeared on Jason's forehead. The more energy he absorbed, the more difficult it was for him to keep it inside while trying to obtain more.

[ A connection can only be established if you gather all the energy at once and use it. ]

Those were the words the system had told him. Jason could only grit his teeth and continue to try hard.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for him to gather the energy…
