The only reason for Jason to stay calm was that there had yet to emerge a terrifying beast at the 2nd threshold of the Prismar stage from the other side.
If that were to occur, he couldn't even be sure what would happen to the entire planet.
There were three overlords with the exact same cultivation base on Argos, but who could say whether the emerging beast had manifested only one rotating crystal or more?
In the end, there would only be a total of three rotating crystals at the 2nd threshold of the Prismar stage, and every single one of them indicated a tremendous difference in one's combat prowess.
A single beast could be enough to defeat all three Overlords as easily as they had ended the entire Great Argos war, without any effort!
This would certainly be devastating, but as long as nothing emerged from the said world bridge, Jason decided to not mind it.
Even if he thought about it, what was there for him to do? He was too weak to defeat beings at the Prismar stage's second threshold, let alone destroy the naturally generated world bridge.
Jason was not even sure if that would be useful, or destroy even more!
Thankfully, the incidents about the temporary world bridges that had appeared out of nowhere, only to spit out thousands of beasts before the world bridge disappeared once again, didn't occur again.
As such, Jason decided that this problem was solved.
Now, the next priority would be to win the liberation tournament before giving his best to foster a connection between mankind and the Olympus federation slowly.
It was not necessary for them to merge, let alone love each other out of a sudden, but a simple peace treaty and a basic understanding of and respect towards each other was all that he hoped for.
That was everything Jason wanted.
After that, he would rescue the Flers before hopefully leaving Argos behind.
There might be people he would miss, but he had decided that Argos was not the place for him to stay.
In the end, the universe was vast and there were too many things he had yet to figure out.
One of them was to meet his father at least once and search for his maternal grandparents.
Jason couldn't be certain that they were still alive, but somehow, he felt like they were still alive, and doing well.
Until now his gut feeling had hardly been wrong, thus he believed in it this time as well.
As such, he had to figure out where they had disappeared too!
Because of that, he had a total of three priorities.
Those priorities were; to win the liberation tournament to procure the lesser origin flame, to save the Flers by overwriting their soul contract after figuring out how to do so, and last but not least to investigate what had truly happened to his mother and grandparents.
It was a priority list correlated to the time they should be completed.
The last point was something the Heaven's Eyes sect patriarch could achieve because Jason knew that Nathan had lied to him before!
In the end, as long as nothing happened to the newly emerged permanent rift, Jason's priority list would remain the same.
With only two days left before New Year's eve, Jason didn't even think about slacking off.
Instead, he wanted to fight against the other God's Children who had increased their total strength by around 200 drops of liquefied mana.
This was mostly because they had been able to cultivate unhindered while their soulbonds continued to advance.
By allowing the strongest soulbond to enter their mana core, the advancement would be even greater.
As such, there was no need for them to be worried about their cultivation base.
Rather, they had to further improve their combat experience, martial art proficiency, and so on.
This was something they had already started since their return to Janur, which was more than a week before Jason had finally returned.
Thus, only when Jason had been back did they finally start to fight him seriously.
While trying to improve, he wanted to pressurize himself.
Because of that, he had asked two God's Children to attack him at once while also telling them to utilize their fortified soul conjunction.
Due to this, Jason had been unable to overwhelm them, even if he gave his best in terms of brute force.
Instead, he allowed Artemis to enter his mana core while trying out several new combat styles he had thought about.
While residing inside his mana core, Artemis could control his flow of mana to a certain extent.
At the same time, she could insert her own mana inside Jason's mana flow without hurting his veins!
This was something that hadn't worked before and would have proved detrimental to his body under normal circumstances.
They hadn't realized any of that while fighting against the two God's Children and Jason could only feel that his body was becoming lighter by the second, while his blood felt more vigorous than ever.
Because of that he and Artemis could utilize the ice affinity within them at the same time, conjuring several hundred ice spears at once.
Controlling the ice affinity had become second nature to Jason as if he had been born with it.
While fighting against the two Gold's Children who pressured him, making it impossible for Jason to retaliate and counterattack, he couldn't help but smile brightly.
The longer the fight took, the less pressure Jason felt, and the upper hand they had was slowly changing in his favor.
His fight caused a huge commotion in the small arena they had been assigned by the City lord to train or rest until the liberation tournament would start.
Not only the human powerhouses averted their attention from the other fighting God's Children to him, but even the other battles suddenly came to a halt as a huge, unknown pressure radiated from Jason.
It was similar to his Celestia aura, but also something that did not belong to the Celestia bloodline. It was similarly oppressive but wilder and more dangerous!
"What the hell is that? Is that really Jason?!" Ben suddenly exclaimed, and the others could only nod, without knowing what was going on.
Jason hadn't even noticed that he was being looked at weirdly.
He and Artemis had only been excited to fight, to use their soulbond connection that was extremely firm and glimmering brightly.
Unbeknownst to him, a second stigma had manifested above the reversed wing stigma and glowed faintly.
It did not belong to Jason, and was only a manifestation that would soon disappear!
However, even more shocking was that Jason's hair was slowly turning white-silver while two black bulges protruded out of his head.
Artemis' wings had already manifested on his back and it looked like Jason and Artemis were slowly fusing together!
Time passed slowly, and Jason's appearance didn't change any further than Artemis' black horns protruding out of his forehead.
The two God's Children he had fought were overwhelmed by Jason's strength that had increased with the seconds, and it was only when they slumped to the ground, overwhelmed by Jason that the fight had ended.
Only a moment later, Jason's oppressive aura was slowly receding, and exhaustion began to overwhelm him as he returned Byakur inside the soul world.
It was only then that Jason noticed the other gazes that were trained on him.
"What's wrong?"
This question broke the ice and Merl Arths could only take a deep breath to calm his mind, thinking that Jason was a halfling and that he would be nothing but abnormal; an anomaly.
"Look at the hair on your arms and then touch your forehead…"
Confused by what Merl meant Jason simply followed the instructions, only to widen his eyes in astonishment.
"My hair is white-silverish?" Only then did he touch his forehead.
Feeling restless, he took out one of the perfectly purified ingots he had still inside his spatial ring.
They were polished enough to see his reflection, which caused Jason to exclaim.
"What the hell happened to me?!"
Not sure what exactly his current state was, he had to ask Artemis.
However, at that moment, he noticed that Artemis' eyes were closed and that a single thread connected Artemis and the mana core she had occupied.
???
Jason was not worried because he felt that Artemis was still fine, but it made him uncomfortable to see her in a state he knew nothing about.
As such, he disregarded everything as he severed his connection between his mana core and her.
This could have damaged his mana core, had his gut feeling not told him that it was nothing worrisome.
The moment he had severed the thin thread, Artemis' wings, horns, and stigma dispersed while his hair returned to its previous black color.
In the end, even after several minutes had passed, and Artemis had awoken, Jason couldn't figure out a proper reason for what had happened to occur, while Artemis had only said that she had felt a deeper connection to him.
Even if that was better than knowing nothing, it was weird, and the others next to him were as oblivious as Jason.
It was only when Betty made an assumption that was meant to be a joke that Jason couldn't help but look at her in shock.
"Maybe you're fusing with your beast? Hahaha."
