"Okay, you oldies, listen up!" Jin shouted.
"Oldies?" Jerrica felt insulted.
"I am pretty old." Lacena wasn't insulted one bit.
"What? Old? I'm still in my prime! In fact, I haven't even aged a day since you last saw me, literally!" Jessa took that harder because it was her son who was saying that.
"So sensitive. Anyway, listen to me forreal. What I'm going to do to you will hurt a lot. Like, your body will scream, and it will feel like thousands of needles are being stabbed into your body, dull needles."
If they wanted to back out, this was their last chance.
"Stop procrastinating and get this over with, son." Jessa wanted to become as strong as possible so she could kill Eve for putting her son through the tough childhood he expierenced.
Jin sighed, took a deep breath, and then shared his mana with everyone.
"Don't fight against the mana. Accept it, let it flow through you, and let it increase her power."
Jin had to fill up their bodies with his own mana until it forced them to break through. It worked, and they broke through their levels, but then it happened again, again, and again.
The more they broke through, the more their bodies started to break down.
Blood was dripping out of their noses, their eyes, their ears, and their mouths. It was so painful that they all felt as if they were dying, but they didn't even make a sound one bit.
Jin was very impressed by their grit and smiled.
Jessa was actually doing the best out of all of them, the phoenix core healing her injuries from this dangerous stunt. Still, this wouldn't have been enough to heal the negative effects from forcefully breaking through.
"Okay, I'm going to do something I've never done before, so you three need to do what I say perfectly. Open your mouths, but only very slightly. If you open it too wide, then all of the energy building up in your body will leave, and it will hurt you a lot."
The three women trusted Jin, so they weren't worried about the consequences.
"As long as it's open wide enough for a pill to enter, then that's good enough."
They opened their mouths, and Jin flew pills into them.
"That pill is made from a phoenix core, my mana, and some other mumbo jumbo I don't feel like getting into. It will heal your body while you break through to the tenth circle, which we are going to do now."
He had them all at the 9th circle right now, their hearts beating dangerously fast.
Jin took a deep breath, then continued. "You will feel your mana skyrocket. Once it does, stabilize your power, or you will die. I will help, but you have to do the heavy lifting. Once your realm is stabilized, stay still because I will have to heal your bodies. Once I'm done, you will be able to start training with your new power. Let's do this."
Jin increased the amount of mana he was injecting into their bodies, having them break through to the 10th circle. Their skin cracked, blue light leaking out, but the pill they swallowed activated, and their bodies started to heal.
Even Jin started to use healing magic on them, but he couldn't use too much since it could interfere with their breakthrough.
"Nngh!" Jerrica was the first one to make a sound, her body not being able to handle the intense power that was surging through her.
"Control it! Don't let the power run wild!" Jin urged her.
Jerrica did her best, managing to control the raging power in her body.
Then there was Lacena. She wasn't grunting, but her body was shaking uncontrollably from the power.
"Calm down, Mrs Horton. Just as you can create anything you desire, use that same feeling to make your body a perfect vessel for your new power."
Thankfully, Jessa was handling things very well. It was due to the Phoenix core, but it was also due to her own abilities.
Then, finally, their tenth circle was created. And at this point, the energy was too much for their bodies to handle, and their eyes and mouths erupted with mana, blue light shining out of them.
'Time for me to do my part.' Jin stopped injecting mana into their bodies and wrapped it around their bodies instead. Then, he started to reverse the damage he caused to their bodies using time magic.
What he was doing was taboo, not because people deemed it so, but because the mana knew that the consequences put in place to prevent people from gaining too much power at once were being reversed by a higher power, being time.
The forces of nature fought back against Jin, disrupting his mana and causing him intense pain. It knew that he was the one who was breaking the rules and wanted to purge his existence.
"Fuck, this hurts, and I'm a clone!"
Jin from the outside had to step into the pocket dimension, merging with his clone, just to handle the situation properly, and even then, it was still very tough.
"We're almost there! Keep it up!" Jin could feel that all of their injuries were being healed, being reversed by time. And after a bit more time, he succeeded in reversing the damage caused by breaking through prematurely.
However, he was left extremely exhausted.
"T-This is...This power, it's amazing!" Jessa could feel herself being connected to the forces of the world, the mana of the universe. She couldn't believe that an energy like this existed. Even her heart, which was replaced by the phoenix fore, healed and merged with it.
"It feels as if I can truly do anything." Lacena used her power and added mana to it. She didn't cast a spell but simply added mana to her own power, strengthening herself.
"Jin, do you feel like this all the time?" Jerrica now understood how Jin was able to fight against her and win.
"Blerghhhh!" Jin responded by puking blood, catching the attention of the three women.
"Jin!" Jessa rushed to his side, but he held up his arm.
"Not now. Sit, fully merge with your power, understand it, comprehend it. You'll need to train intensely after this."
