"Bblu…!"


    A bright smile bloomed across Christensen''s face as he carried the baby.


    During the final parts of the battle of Hellfire Mountains, as Legs was unleashed and as he started his rampage, someone had to take care of Uranus. Since de yed an essential part in the battle, this role fell to Christensen.


    Christensen did not shirk from the responsibility; he took it seriously.


    Now, after 2 weeks staying with them, Uranus already developed a favorite.


    "Uranus, how are you today?"


    "You want to y?"


    "Bubuwa!"


    Christensen''s smile grew even brighter at that as he waved a warrior doll before the baby''s reach. "You want to y?"


    "Bubu…dada!" Uranus suddenly eximed.


    Christensenughed at the Titan baby''s cute disy but he still tried to correct him. "No, Uranus, I am not dada, dada is in his room".


    "Say Uncle".


    "…" Uranus looked at him with a confused look on his face.


    Christensen smiled; he was patient. "Uncle…, un…cle, say Uncle!"


    Uranus tilted his head.


    "Kuku!" He cheered.


    Christensen cheered alongside the Titan baby and pped for him.


    Since the introduction of the Titan baby into his life, Christensen seemed to unlock another talent of his that he didn''t know he had before, babysitting!


    Hearing the story behind Uranus fascinated this Summoner to no end.


    Unlike other human babies that he had seen and held; Uranus was so different. Apart from his red skin and pronounced muscles for a baby, Uranus developed so much faster than a normal human baby.


    Today, Uranus was supposed to be only 2 weeks old in a figurative term but despite all these, Uranus could already crawl on all fours.


    Not just that, ording to Legs, Uranus said dada on the first day of his life! This was apletely crazy feat.


    From these little details, it was clear that Uranus was different from the normal human baby, this and other reasons were why Christensen was attracted to the tiny cute Titan baby, he yed with him.


    "Hihihi…" Uranus giggled heartily as his uncle yed with him.


    After a few minutes, Uranus suddenly tilted his head to the only other person in the sitting room of the inn that they lodged.


    He seemed to be in a deep state of introspection and this attracted the baby.


    Uranus'' eyes constricted in curiosity then he pointed at him. "Kuku?"


    Christensen smiled. "Yes, de is your uncle too".


    "Kuku!"


    Despite Christensen''s strength, Uranus was surprisingly able to quickly squirm out of his grasp as he crawled towards his uncle. Feeling the baby''s approach, de''s face already turned awkward and unexpected.


    Uranus crawled before him and looked at him with big puppy eyes.


    "Kuku!" He stretched one of his arm towards him.


    "…" de was speechless.


    Christensen eruptedughing at the sight. "de, don''t be such a joy killer, the baby is seeking attention, carry him".


    "Can''t you carry him?" de had a troubled look on his face.


    "I already carried him once; he wants yourpany now".


    "Kuku!" Uranus cheered.


    de grimaced.<novelnext></novelnext>


    In the end, left with no choice, he carried the Titan baby. As Christensenughed and taunted his junior apprentice brother even as Uranus kept on giggling at the attention, inside his room, Legs focused on his thoughts.


    Seated cross-legged inside his room, Legs had a reflection.


    He had a reflection of the past 6 months of his life, and most especially, he had a reflection of the battle of Hellfire Mountains.


    In that battle, Legs literally broke his limits multiple times.


    Norman''s achievements and Alexander''s eventual appearance pushed the stakes to the very highest, but this increased his potential gains even more. Fortunately, in the end, he had thestugh,ing out of it victorious.


    ''I won the battle and it''s a cause of celebration but…, I didn''t win as a Summoner''. Legs felt a little troubled. ''I won as a Battle Controller''.


    Originally, Legs was a practical person who believed in results no matter the means he used to get them but this time, it troubled him. ''It''s good that I won the battle, but me resulting to Maximus'' magic showed mecking as a Summoner''.


    ''I can''t result to the Battle Controller subss all the time, especially when I have not mastered it and can''t use it on a consistent basis yet''.


    Fulfilling all the requirements to make use of the Battle Controller subss in the previous battle was aplete fluke, Legs had no confidence that he would be able to control battle situations in the future to his favor.


    ''Considering that the next Version is probably the 3rd Cataclysm, I need to prepare as much as possible and the best way is to increase my strength and basics as a Summoner''.


    Legs broke everything down and viewed his options.


    ''After Predator''s breakthrough, all my beasts grew stronger''.


    ''Predator''s was probably the most drastic since he unlocked a new Affinity and one rted to a vague element like probability''.


    ''Even in my previous life, I don''t think I''ve seen an affinity rted to probability, it''s potential is probably unlimited''.


    ''Did Predator unlock it because of his infinite potential?''


    Legs was curious and his thought processes were many.


    He soon narrowed down on one. ''Predator has been nagging me for weeks that he intends to return to the Nightmare Beast Ind to go see his ancestors, perhaps it''s a good thing, they may know better about the probability affinity''.


    ''I''ll allow him to go since they don''t seem to allow a human in''.


    ''Also, for Ak, after bing an Emperor Wolf, he now has the foundation to rapidly expand his pack''. Legs'' eyes twinkled like stars. ''When I''m ready, perhaps we''ll go on a rapid wolf expansion spree in the beast ne''.


    ''With his vastly improved leadership abilities, he can lead a muchrger army of wolves without being overwhelmed''.


    ''Getting Ak was really a genius move on my part''. Legs ttered himself.


    ''As for Bran, after bing a Void Lord, everything changes''. Legs grinned. ''Now, I can go to the Void Dimension alongside him''.


    Just the thought excited Legs. ''There are so many specialties, materials, and beasts that can only be found in the Void Dimension".


    ''With this, I now have a much bigger choice range for getting raw materials to make my potions and perhaps even for choosing my next contracted beast''.


    His eyes glinted. ''I can''t wait to go''.


    ''Lucky is also there, aftering back from her inheritance expedition, I have not gotten the chance to quiz her about her encounters''.


    ''All that matters is that she came back much stronger than before''.


    ''I have to know what she experienced though; it may help me in the future''.


    ''Also, I need to getpatible and strong Spirit Beasts for all of them''.


    Despite all these priorities that Legsid down after going through his thoughts, he could not act on any of them yet because he had something more important that he had to take care of.


    After a dy of a week, the rescheduled Grey world gathering was today. But beforemencing it, he had more things that he needed to check.


    ''I''ve not thoroughly explored the Grey World since breaking through''.


    His eyes twinkled with curiosity. ''I need to explore it to see all the new changes and understand everything that I can do with it''.
