"I’ll talk to mom again after I recover some strength."
Upon hearing this proposal, a clear sign of joy immediately appeared in Nari’s eyes.
"Mom has prepared a special recovery chamber for you!"
Her voice grew excited again, evidently pleased to be able to take care of him:
"Mom has researched for a long time to create this, it’s more effective than any magic potion!"
She swiftly weaved together a delicate "bed" with her tentacles, its surface covered with a soft biological membrane akin to silk.
But that wasn’t enough; soon, the surrounding seabed began to undergo wonderful changes.
The coral reef automatically rearranged itself to form a private resting space;
Luminous plankton gathered, providing gentle illumination;
Even the temperature of the seawater quietly adjusted, becoming more comfortable and pleasant.
The interior structure of the massage chamber was breathtakingly intricate.
Countless tentacles, thin as strands of hair, were orderly arranged on the inner walls, each capable of releasing specific frequencies of bioelectric currents.
When Ron lay inside, these tentacles began their work immediately, gently stimulating his acupoints, promoting blood circulation and energy recovery.
Even more wondrous was the chamber being filled with specially modulated nutrient solution.
This liquid bore a faint golden hue, exuding the fragrance of life, able to be absorbed directly through the skin, replenishing a substantial amount of life essence consumed.
"Sleep, my darling..."
Nari’s gentle voice, like a lullaby, sounded in his ear.
Some tentacles swayed gently, creating a rhythm akin to a cradle:
"Mom will watch over you, ensuring no one disturbs your rest..."
In such a comfortable environment, Ron quickly fell into a deep sleep.
Fatigue faded away like the ebb tide, and life energy began to steadily recover.
Meanwhile, while he was resting, Nari quietly turned to another important task.
The black energy crystal obtained from Maggs continued to wriggle restlessly in her tentacles.
Even though Maggs’s consciousness had dissipated, the essence of his power retained a strong repulsiveness.
Every touch triggered minute spatial distortions as if reality itself was protesting the presence of this force.
"The binding traits of void silk..."
Nari focused several eyes simultaneously on the crystal, with a concentrated gaze.
As a natural chaos, her understanding of various powers far exceeded common imagination:
"If this ability can be woven into my tentacle network... the child will be safer..."
She began a very cautious absorption process.
This was an energy reconstruction refined to the extreme.
Nari needed to merge Maggs’s void traits with her own chaos essence.
If it lost control, the fusion of two drastically different forces could cause catastrophic explosions.
Yet, as a natural chaos, Nari held unique advantages.
The inclusiveness of chaos power allowed her to digest and transform nearly any form of energy.
This was the fundamental reason she dared to attempt such a dangerous fusion.
As the absorption continued, Nari’s body began to experience subtle yet profound changes.
The originally singular tentacle form started to differentiate, with some tentacle tips developing fine branched structures.
These newly born "silk-line tentacles" shimmered with a dim glow, inheriting part of Maggs’s void binding traits.
Although less powerful than the original, they already possessed basic conceptual binding capabilities.
What’s more, the advantage lay in numbers.
Maggs could control up to tens of thousands of silk lines simultaneously, whereas Nari’s number of tentacles, as long as she willed, could be almost limitless.
"This feeling..."
Nari gently caressed the newly formed silk-line tentacles, satisfaction gleaming in her eyes.
She experimented by weaving a small protective net with these new tentacles, the effect far exceeded expectations:
"Not only capable of restraining enemies’ actions, but also interfering with their ability releases... Protecting the child will now be more assured..."
The absorption process lasted for nearly most of the day.
When the last trace of black energy was completely digested, Nari’s aura underwent a noticeable change.
The originally pure chaos fluctuation now contained void’s cold tranquil traits, making her power more diversified and unpredictable.
But rather than immediately celebrating this enhancement, Nari embarked on another more intricate task.
That was — preparing a gift for Ron.
Through meticulous separation and purification, the void essence devoid of all traces of Maggs’s power revealed a brand-new appearance.
Like liquid mercury, its silver-black sheen slowly flowed in a specially crafted container, exuding an aura that transcended reality.
These substances seemed to exist on the edge of reality, at times solidifying, at times unraveling like living abstract concepts.
Just gazing at them summoned a call from the void.
"This is the purest part mom could extract for the child..."
Nari carefully encapsulated these precious essences:
"Although small in quantity, their purity has reached its limit... It should greatly aid his sword..."
When Ron awoke from the massage chamber, he felt as if he’d been reborn.
Not only had his fatigue completely vanished, but his spiritual power also returned to its peak state.
Even more pleasantly surprising, his body’s various functions were significantly improved, as if he’d undergone a profound life transformation.
"How are you feeling, my darling?"
Nari’s voice was full of anticipation.
All eyes focused on him, like a mother waiting for her child’s evaluation of the meal she’d prepared:
