Sol Vestitor: New Age of God

Chapter 138: The Real Deal

Sol had conjured the healing dome instead of the sun ice, if his guess was correct then he would have a huge gain in terms of insight from this ability and it would be best if he used it on the hardest ability to gain insight on.

Healing dom was what he named the ability but he himself did not know the true nature of the ability, it was an enigma to him, the healing power was too strong to be considered normal.

"If I miss this chance there might be no more chance to advance the healing dome ability in this lifetime," he thought.

Everyone else was confused as they could not see the healing dome, in their eyes, Sol was standing there silently without conjuring anything.

"What is he waiting for?  Did he forget something?" Jennie turned to the other.

"I don't know, but knowing him, he might have some plan," Tom replied.

Sol had conjured a ball of healing dome in his hand but he didn't stop there, she tried to put even more of his power in it, he wanted to feed even more power in it but he soon reached his limit in it.

"I guess this is good enough," he mumbled as he placed the healing dome on top of the altar.

In the other's eyes, he seemed like placing nothing on the altar but he could see it melt on top of the altar and absorbed slowly by it.

Compared to the other's his conjured ability melted very slowly, it seems even the altar needed time to process the enigma like conjuring ability.

"What is he waiting for?" Txy asked, the other also started to have some doubt in his action.

"It has been almost five minutes, if he did nothing then the Harpies might do something," She got worried.

Just as she was about to warn him, eight items were conjured in the building all of the sudden, the altar finally finished meeting the ball of healing dome.

To their surprise, instead of some normal item, eight blood-red hearts appeared in the building, soon a hundred appeared, then five hundred, until it reached a thousand blood-red hearts in the building.

They could hear the sound of heartbeats as the thousand heartbeats at the same time, it looked so strange.

"What did he do? The note did say it could summon creatures but hearts beating without bodies are just too strange!" Txy got very confused by what happened.

Sol looked at the thousand hearts with glowing eyes, he didn't go toward the eight hearts that appear in the first wave but he went to the nearest heart.

He looked at it with intensity, "this is it, with this I can reach a higher level!" he excitedly went toward one heart and grabbed it in his hand.

He was not shy to pick it up, it beats in his hand, the heartbeats were strong and he could sense the power in them.

Sol might have missed it if he was not looking at it but each of these conjured heart contains a little application of healing dome ability.

It kept the heart beating and alive, every second a dozen or even a hundred cells died and got replaced in the heart.

As Sol looked at it his understanding of healing dome ability deepened, even though only a little bit, he got what he needed to improve.

"This is amazing, it keeps replacing the dead cells with other cells, the cells seem to appear from nothing," he analyzed.

He tried to harden his grip on it, blood started to pour out of the heart as his nails pierced through the heart.

Once he pulled out his nails from the heart, it started to heal at such a speed that it was hard for him to keep up.

"Hmm... I missed something," he thought as he pierced it once again with his nails.

Sol repeated it a few more times until he understood how the healing process worked, "It replicated the nearby cell's pseudo memories of the dead cell and used it to create a replacement!" he concluded.

Once he understood how that one works, he put down the heart and went toward another heart, he repeated the process.

In the audience's eyes, he seemed like a psycho that has a hobby of crushing heart, he would single-mindedly destroy one repeatedly until he got bored with it and went for another.

"What is he doing? Don't tell me he has such a sick hobby?" Tyx looked at him with disgust.

"We already know that he is somewhat sadistic but I didn't know that he is actually this sick," Harry commented as they had misunderstood him before, and now the misunderstanding just grew.

"Don't be like that Harry, we need to overlook his weakness, as a friend we should befriend him even if he has such a hobby," Tom scolded him.

"Hey guys, he doesn't stop with the heart-crushing, do you think he plans to crush each and every heart?" Jennie asked in wonder.

"Ugh... that is a possibility," They thought.

"If he is really going to do that then we might need to spend the night here," Tyx said.

"If he fails to get anything even after doing so then we just wasted our time while the other groups finished more and more trial building," she complained.

"What can we do? Leave him behind?" Jennie asked.

Another hour passed and so was still in the trial building, crushing a heart over and over again, the Harpies seemed to run out of patience and went to them to protest.

"You can leave if you can't wait since there is no time limit in our agreement," Txy dismissed their protest, she was really talented in being a jerk.

The harpies could only fume at her as their agreement made them unable to threaten Sol's group nor disturb Sol's trial.

In the end, they left the trial ground with a grumble, that was quite a show for their group as they needed to wait for Sol to finish whatever he was doing.

It took him roughly six-hour to go through all thousand hearts, his learning speed getting faster as he learned more from them.

There was a heart that could duplicate the dead cells, revive the dead cells, turn back time to revive it, make a replacement from a projection of the past, or even make the heart cell unkillable.

"That was a lot of gains, as long it's in the level of a lesser demigod, I believe no one could kill me or hurt me if I use this ability," he thought as he gained all the insight the trial provided him.

Sol could feel the healing dome's core was going to advance but he tried his best to suppress it, "No, If I advance then I can't join another trial," he thought.

Before this, Sol would not have believed that the healing dome was going to advance first, he always thought it would take years to get there.

"I'm quite lucky to find this trial," He thought.

With his advancement suppressed, Sol got back to his current ordeal, "There is no real deal even among the thousand items," he thought.

"Is this trial actually an unsolvable trial?" he wondered but he soon crossed the possibility, "No, The city lord would not tell us about this if it's unsolvable."

"Could it be?" he wondered as he walked to the altar without bringing any of the heart with him.

Sol raised his hand and conjured a sphere of healing dome on top of his hand, he tried to apply the insight he got from the hearts.

Sol was healing nothing, after all he learned, it was actually possible for him to heal nothing and create something with it.

Slowly a blood-red heart appeared inside the dome, it was the most perfect red heart he could make as he used every insight from each individual heart.

"I bet that even I can't destroy this heart," he thought as he placed it on top of the altar.

The other was shocked when they noticed him going for the altar, as he conjured a red heart, they got even more shocked.

"What? He could actually conjure such a thing? I thought he got ice ability," Harry commented.

"Look he placed it on the altar!" Jennie pointed out.

"Huh? So the real deal is the one we created on our own?" Tom asked.

"We don't know yet, it might not work, let's just wait for the result," Txy crushed their hope.

The heart didn't melt on the altar, it just beat on it, they started to think it didn't work, even Sol doubted himself.

Suddenly, the altar sank back to the floor along with the heart, soon another altar was raised in its place.

The altar was bigger and way more majestic, on top of it was a grail made of gold like material.

"I did it, it actually works!" Sol cheered in his heart as he walked to the altar.
