"The ck me," the deity breathed, its tone reverent. "Ah, my divine me."


    Jaegar approached cautiously, feeling the heat radiating from the ck mes even from a distance. "What do I do?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.


    The deity''s response was immediate. "Absorb it, as you did with the earth me. But be warned—this will be far more intense."


    The mes flickered and danced with an unnatural intensity, their edges rippling with a ghostly shimmer. These weren''t ordinary mes; they exuded an ominous, bone-chilling energy that sent a shiver down Jaegar''s spine.


    "Wait, can I observe them like it did with the earth me?" Jaegar asked, before going in.


    "What? You want this me too?" Deity''s said in a surprised tone.


    "Well, if it''s as powerful as you im to be, then yes," Jaegar said as a matter of fact.


    "Boy, let me tell you, this isn''t your typical type of me. Compared to an earth me, this is far more dangerous and more potent than any me. Even the superior blue fares in front of the ck me."


    "You have already absorbed the first me, and if you don''t absorb this me, how can I get it myself? You need to absorb the me, and I will help you."N?v(el)B\\jnn


    "This me has the power to strengthen your very bones, to make you more resilient, more powerful than any mortal could ever imagine. You''ve been through the first tier already—basic body strengthening. This me will take you to the second tier: Intermediate Body strengthening. It will reshape your bones, making them stronger than steel. But be warned—this process will be excruciating."


    Jaegar felt his breath catch in his throat. Thest time he had absorbed a me, the Earth me, it had been a painful experience, but it had granted him immense physical strength. Now, he was being told that this me would go even deeper, affecting his very bones. He steeled himself, his resolve firm. Though it was painful, the result had been shocking; his physical power had increased bounds.


    Listening to his description of the ck mes, he wanted to absorb immediately.


    "What do I have to do?" Jaegar asked, his voice steady.


    "Touch the me," the deity instructed. "Let it enter your body. It will find your bones and begin the transformation. But the pain... the pain will be unlike anything you''ve felt before."


    "But first summon the earth me, surround yourself with the earth me, then touch the ck me," the deity instructed.


    Jaegar raised his hand; the oragne me lit up his hand, burning fiercely.


    Jaegar approached the ck mes, his hand outstretched. The heat from the mes was intense, yet it didn''t burn his skin. It was as if the mes were alive, sensing his presence, waiting for him to make the first move. He hesitated only for a second before plunging his hand into the heart of the ck fire.


    The moment his fingers touched the mes, they surged forward, wrapping around his arm like serpents. The earth me shrieked around his hand.


    The mes weren''t hot—at least, not in the traditional sense—but they carried a deep, prating heat that Jaegar could feel spreading through his body. The fire raced up his arm, across his chest, and down into his legs, sinking into his very bones.


    Suddenly, the pain hit.


    It started as a dull ache in his bones, but it quickly intensified into a searing, agonizing sensation.


    His bones felt as if they were being crushed, shattered, and then rebuilt.


    Jaegar copsed to the ground, writhing in pain, his body convulsing as the ck mes continued their work. His bones cracked audibly, breaking apart only to reform momentster, stronger and more durable than before.


    He was sweating profusely, his clothes drenched, and the smoke of his sweat being evaporated flew out of his body.


    The pain was unbearable, like moltenva being poured into his skeleton, but Jaegar gritted his teeth, refusing to scream.


    Jaegar''s body was covered in sweat, his muscles twitching uncontrobly as the mes continued their brutal work. His bones cracked and shattered repeatedly, the sound echoing through the chamber like breaking ss. But each time they broke, they reformed, stronger than before. He could feel the power surging through him, even through the blinding pain.


    Hours passed. The agony seemed never-ending, but slowly, the process began to wind down.


    The ck mes retreated, leaving Jaegar gasping for breath, his body trembling. As the mes left his body, a ck, viscous liquid oozed from his pores, pooling on the ground around him. The liquid hissed and bubbled as it touched the stone floor, releasing a foul, acidic smell.


    The me Deity spoke again, its tone more subdued now. "That liquid is the waste—the impurities that were purged from your bones. It''s highly corrosive, so don''t touch it. But it means the process isplete. Your bones are now infused with the ck me, strengthened beyond anything you could have achieved on your own."


    Jaegary there for a moment, exhausted, his body still aching from the ordeal. But as he slowly pulled himself to his feet, he realized that something had changed. His body felt... different.


    Lighter, yet more solid. His bones no longer felt fragile; they felt like iron, unyielding and powerful. He could feel they became dense, tingling with power, like never before.


    He looked down at his hands, clenching them into fists. He could feel the strength in his bones, the solidity of his frame. He had survived the ck me, and he had emerged stronger for it.


    "Don''t be so smug about it. If I hadn''t helped you, you wouldn''t have done it, The deity spoke in his mind, arrogantly.


    Jaegar sighed and replied, "Well, thank you for your help. I will be sure to help you."


    "Yeah, yeah, remember it well. I will need it in the future."


    The me Deity''s voice came out again: "You''re not done yet, boy. There is still one more Divine me to find."


    "It seems luck has been on my side; I am sure we will find it within no time," Jaegar assured him.
