'The resources and crystals,'

I said as I looked at them. The upheaval in the lake had brought out the corruption above from the bottom. It is not just the crystals, but also resources, and they are everywhere.

There are a lot of them and all the monsters of Earth's Sovereign stage that are guarding them have disappeared at the bottom.

Though, it would be a grave mistake to just grab them.

The monsters will notice it immediately; the Sky Sovereign Monsters.

That doesn't mean I wouldn't take them. I would take them all right; at least the crystals and my strings split up into nine different strings and grabbed those corruption crystals.

Unlike the corruption water, in the corruption crystals. The energy is dormant; it wouldn't react by touch.

I could touch them with my bare hands, and there would be no danger.

My strings wrapped around the crystals, but they didn't pull them out directly. No, that would be a mistake. They instead begin to float them in the direction of water, like it is water doing the job and not something artificial.

Hun!

I was doing that when the Sky Sovereign monster appeared a few hundred meters away, but it didn't even look at it.

Instead, the snake moved up like lightning and came above the water a moment later, before striking against the Grimms, which defended with its defensive method.

Finally, the first of the crystals fell on the ground and a few seconds after that, all nine and my strings entered the water again, while other strings move toward the crystal and started pulling them close to the water, landing on the ground and shockwave.

Soon they reached close enough that I could pull them into my core, and I did that, in the time of few seconds.

By that time, strings have brought out the second batch of crystals and a few seconds after the third.

The crystals are precious, but to monsters, they are line rocks. They wouldn't care about it unless they sensed something amiss.

Hun!

My strings were collecting the fourth batch of crystal; the last one since I didn't want to take too much risk, when I noticed something coming close to the one of strings.

Stainless Blood Lotus.

I have a Blood-Soul Stainless Lotus and original Stainless Lotus and now there is a Stainless Blood Lotus in front of me and I want to grab it so badly.

Really badly.

Stainless lotus is a staple in my strengthening methods. This blood lotus signifies a physical element, and it will help me tremendously if I get it.

I want it.

Though, I won't get it, despite it being close. Getting is a death sentence, and I refused to die for a mere resource.

Still, my strings moved toward it and went inside and a few seconds later, a seed came out and moved away, with the force of water.

As it happened, I immediately sensed the soul sense of the monster, but it tracked the seed for a second before remaining fixed on the blood lotus.

Seeing that, I couldn't help but take a sigh in relief.

I had loosened the seeds and pulled out the string. If I kept it there, the monster might have discovered it.

Now, once again, my string picked up the seed and moved it with water before bringing it out. A few seconds later, it had reached close enough that I had pulled it inside my core.

I appeared in my core and looked at the blood-red seed with a single green dot floating in front of me.

It looked like it was made of blood itself. I looked at it for a couple of seconds, before storing it carefully. I didn't put it in the corruption pool directly; I will do it when I get growth energy.

I have to be careful with the seed; I only got just one.

I want to use my string to get more, but it is extremely dangerous. If I discovered, there is certain death.

Fearing that, I brought out my string, leaving nothing that could be traced to me.

There are hundreds of crystals I could collect with strings and it is less dangerous, but still, the risk is too much and I do not need it.

I only wanted a few crystals; these crystals contain the highest level of corruption energy and it would be more than enough for my needs.

Even if I get more Grimms than I could imagine; the resources in my core wouldn't be able to use all the crystals. It is not like; I have only crystals; I had also collected a large amount of corruption.

My clone had already started filling the pool with it and added the crystals inside.

Once I get the growth energy, I will transfer all plants to this new pool and dispose of the old.

I looked at the new pool, before turning to my meta-scan and my expression couldn't help, but become worse. It hadn't been a minute since the monsters and beings started fighting and I was already heavily injured.

They would need to stop fighting soon, or I would seriously think about escaping. If I didn't, this place would become my grave.

Hun!

A few more seconds passed, and the first Grimm retreated; the monsters chased, but it was clear that the Werewolf was fast.

As the Werewolf retreated, the two more Grimms did, and one native and movement after that, a few more others.

At the end of the fourth second, it was the woman and Tigerman. Both of them came under an intense assault from the monsters, but they dodged and defended and even killed one before disappearing.

ROAAAARRR!

The monsters roared in deep anger as it turned, and with it others and they continued roaring for minutes.

Every second I was scared, feeling they might discover me, but extremely dense corruption energy, which harmed me, had also saved me from the discovery of the monsters.

It took over ten minutes before the last of the monster calmed down and the lake became still again.

I wanted to get out of here immediately, but I remained. Getting out would be a huge mistake; the monsters are alert and wouldn't have any problem discovering me.

Not to mention, I am injured. I needed to fix them before I could even think about it.

Thankfully, the curse energy had started to get lower in density, and soon, its density had become low enough, that it had stopped harming me.

I activated a few more formations inside my core and they sent out more energy. It would help a lot if I could use the tub, but it is not possible.

Time passed and my injuries healed, till nothing remained.

I wanted to leave after that, but only two hours had passed. I waited for another three hours before deciding to leave.

The first thing I did was clear the way; I did it delicately before crawling out and slowly starting to move away from the lake.

I am walking at a normal person's pace when I want to create a sonic.

It is extremely hard to do it, as every instinct of mine wants me to run and get away from this spot at my highest speed.
