The Occult Beast gave its owner a grin. Without any confirmation, another screen appeared in front of MF.
[ Occult Beast has agreed to deem "Cyanotype" as its name ]
The connection between the translucent rune and the beast's soul became visible. The rune manifested itself, shining brightly in blue as half of the core got devoured by the same hue. The same with the beast, the same bright blue was flaming on Cyanotype's left eye, shifting the symbol into 'Life' from 'Madness'.
[ A new Main Roots had been detected! ]
[ Cyanotype had developed into 'Triple Main Branches' Occult Beast_
[ Tiamat possible amount of branches: Unknown ]
[ {Tiamat} ]
| \\\\ > Primordial Sea {S+} ]
| > |0%| ]
_
[ Primordial Sea: The oceans of the earth at a time early in its history. The very place where the mother of all life had concocted its very first drink of life. Enhancing the overall result of concocting life, giving the Occult Beast a core knowledge on how to mess with the genetics of existence_
[ This branch of power enable the Occult Beast to temporarily took a fragment of its own and create a temporary servant from it, the servant will abide to every of the Occult Beast's command. ]
Cyanotype closed its left eye and every information regarding the Tiamat's Roots existence became obscure, protected by the perpetual barrier of madness and the unknown.
The screen that MF perceived became blurred, the rune also turned translucent again as the yellow countered the hue with its enigmatic light.
"Existential Manipulation, isn't it? Cyanotype, you really fooled me by hiding the Tiamat's Main Roots."
"Tarara~ as expected of the master. Although you already have your own name and title." Cyanotype leaned closer to MF's face again. "What should I refer you to?"
The question was not something that she would expect. MF speculated that the beast wanted something special, a special privilege that was held dear in her heart.
"Meshia." MF slyly giggled. "My wife called me that, feel free to do the same, if you want."
"Aww, you want me to always remind you of her, isn't that cute?"
MF smiled reluctantly. "I think I'm slowly beginning to think you're just messing with me at this point."
"Always has been~" Cyanotype wholeheartedly giggled. "Also, please think of me as your dear companion, not as an Occult Beast, that's all."
"Oya? Look at who starts opening up~?"
"Hmmph!" The beast pouted. She began to grow a pair of slender legs in contrast to missing lower limbs, The tendrils from her sleeves conjoined and condensed into another pair of black humanoid arms with numerous constellation burning tattoos. All of that so that she could cross them below her modest chest like a child. "I don't like being teased."
MF amusedly sneered. "Yet you teased me."
"Tarara! I like teasing people, but not being on the receiving end."
MF paused for a while, staring one-eyedly at Cyanotype before coming into conclusion, 'She is just a whole manifestation of me!'
Cyanotype then taught her master on how to get out from the Occult Domain. After some error and trial, MF returned to her main body.
"That is really trippy."
"Indeed it was."
Cyanotype manifested in the air behind the Ouroboros, floating like an eternal dandelion while using her most humane form. MF then stood, both of them had the same height.
"I didn't know that you're this tall." MF tried to compare her height using her hand.
"Mmmhh~ I'm part of your soul, after all."
Cyanotype always float near MF, as they got up to the upper underground floor, numerous wisps and alraunes only bowed to the Ouroboros. None of them were able to perceive the Occult Beast.
"You're permanently ethereal?" MF asked.
"Not entirely, I can see through your heart and emotion, none of them were a threat to you, you also hold them dearly. Hence, I didn't show my existence to them at all."
"But you can physically interact with them if you wanted to, correct?"
"Tarara~"
MF resurfaced once again. Cyanotype closed both of her eyes while having a nonchalant face. MF assumed that the Occult Beast was in a state akin to sleeping as the resonance with the core wasn't as strong anymore. Eventually, she got back to the Occult Domain.
MF wanted to try the Primordial Sea ability from the Tiamat's Roots but it seemed like Cyanotype had blocked her access to it. The Occult Beast didn't bear any ill will at all either. Knowing that Cyanotype was the type who likes to hint instead of talking, MF hypothesized that there was a reason behind the obscurement of the Tiamat's Roots.
Whether it was affiliated to the upper realm or the real existence that the Occult Tesseract referenced, or because MF wasn't ready to hold her power.
'Then again, Cyanotype is also growing.'
Three days had passed in the real world, surprisingly. MF might be unconscious for one whole day when she got stuck in the Occult Realm.
'Hmm, I didn't feel Suwa's presence anymore, she must've left Domeniul Ceresc by now.'
All of the disciples' candidates would probably have been given their invitation by now. Estimatedly, they would arrive at Lautus Tunguska's ground in a few more hours.
MF soared to the sect's ground. Within the platform could be perceived a Tribunal Curse Deity, a Hellspawn, and an Ourarian. MF descended, getting a comfy response as Primis rushed to her and immediately hugged her leg.
"How are you, Primis?" said Ouroboros as she caressed Primis' hair.
"Hmmm~ I just like Master's scent." The Ourarian then buried her own face in the long black skirt.
"Lord Ouroboros!" Tuli greeted. "How is your seclusion?"
"Smooth like butter." MF then glanced at the comfy Primis on her legs. "Something happened?"
Ki and Toma in her arms approached forward with a lethargic face. "Primis almost finished her training, and it seemed like she wanted Madam Foel or Lord Ouroboros to see her breakthrough before doing so."
"Oya? Is that so?" MF picked Prinis by the armpit like a doll. The Ourarian looked rather pleased when her creator did so. "You want me to spectate your breakthrough?"
Primis nodded vigorously as if she was head banging a few times.. Seeing her energy, a fluffy feeling ran course through MF's veins, it made her let out her widest smile.
