It had been two hours since they arrived on this side of the Secret Realm map. By that time they had encountered groups of people three times. All three times the other groups fled as soon as they saw their own group. The possible reasons were plethora, though, maybe it was because of the emblem on the UGRG University’s genetic armor, or maybe perhaps because of what happened before they entered the Secret Realm Uzushisenga.
Whatever it was, it was a good thing these people didn’t try to get in trouble with them. It was easier to deal with Innate demon beasts than having to deal with other humans…
“We are about to change maps,” Julia said. She saw that not too far away, the color on the other side was brighter, not all red like where they were.
After staying for two straight hours in a place where everything was red, she had started to want to see more colors. Not only her, but even Mabel was also the same. After collecting everything she needed, she wanted to go to the next location of the Secret Realm.
The next location was raining, and a severe lightning storm was happening.
“This place might be of benefit to me,” Amon said. If there were many of lightning, he would be able to increase his lightning genetics. He still had some blank genes that were not filled in and it would be great if he could fill them in here. That way his strength would increase a bit. 𝘦𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘦𝑙．𝑜𝑟𝘨
“Your genetics are lightning,” Mabel nodded, “so indeed this place is good for you.”
She knew that many Innates with lightning genes chose to come to this part of the Secret Realm precisely because of this. There was also an area that was suitable for those who used the fire, water/ice, wind, and earth genes.
Psychic was useful in almost any location, be it fire, ice, wind, etc, so terrain didn’t add or take away from how well those genes could be trained. Depending on how the Psychic Innate tread their path, they could use various means to improve. However, even if that was the case, if one didn’t choose an appropriate path, they may end up getting disoriented, and without a path, could make it difficult to increase their psychic genetic power. Well, in that respect, she and Ariel had already chosen their path, so they didn’t have to worry about something like that.
After their group left the red area, they arrived on the rainy and stormy side. Using their genes, they each created a genetic barrier. However, Amon chose not to do the same as the rest, opting to get wet in the rain.
Amon closed his eyes as he walked. He could feel the of lightning and his lightning genes becoming synchronized in that spot. It was as if after a long journey he was finally coming home. Even without needing to meditate, he felt his lightning genes stir and show signs of improvement.

Amon opened his eyes and muttered, “Indeed, I’m a little better right now.”
“… Just closing your eyes you could already fill in a gene?” Mabel was speechless. What kind of genius was this boy?
“Yes, but I should have been pretty close to filling it in by now, so it’s not that surprising,” Amon said. He wasn’t lying and he didn’t want to boost his reputation just by bragging.
“Still, it’s impressive,” Mabel answered. Being able to pull so much lightning to fill his genes was very difficult, especially without meditating. Meditation worked to improve the body’s gene flow, as well as open the pores to accept incoming elements and fill empty genes. Doing this without the slightest preparation, even if one was already close to achieving it before, was something Mabel herself didn’t have the confidence to do.
“Amon, keep meditating and leave your safety to us.” Barbara suggested, “We can gather herbs and get rid of the beasts while you meditate. After all, getting stronger is also of benefit to our group, right?”
Mabel knew that Barbara was mostly looking at her because the rest of the group wouldn’t be against the idea. She concurred with a bit of laughter, “I’m all for it. Without you joining in here, we’ll be more likely to kill Innate beasts as well.”
However, even if she was joking, there was a grain of truth in her words. After all, Amon had killed the most demonic beasts here so far.
“Alright, then I won’t butt in. Thank you.” Amon said, “But I recommend that you stay about 5 meters away from me when I start meditating.”
“Okay.” The girls all agreed without much thought.
Mabel didn’t understand, but the rest of the girls did. Staying close to Amon during meditation was dangerous, especially now that he was Inborn.
In the next instant, Amon chose a rock to sit on. After sitting cross-legged, Amon’s breathing became synchronized and he used the rune: [Boundless Heart]. In the next instant, his body looked like a powerful lightning bolt, pulling the lightning toward him.
Mabel took a few more steps back, a little scared.
‘What the hell?!?’ Her eyes widened. Mabel did not expect that Amon would be able to create such a colossal phenomenon. She expected it to be ridiculous, but not on this level…
Even Barbara and the girls had to step back a little, fear visible in their eyes.
“Amon will be fine, right?” Maisa began to worry.
There was a lot of lightning that started to gather in the sky right above Amon’s head. It was as if all the lightning in this part of the Secret Realm had come together because of him…
“He will… He has to stay!” Barbara said. However, she was not very confident.
Soon after, a rumbling sound echoed.
*BANG! THUNDER!*
The heavens shuddered and the girls screamed as they used their genes to cover their ears. Even that was not enough and they also clasped their hands over their ears. The sound was so deafening.
Calls of Innate beasts began to echo. They were fleeing in all directions from where the heavy rain of frightening lightning was falling.
Amon, who was the receptacle of the lightning, looked like a Lightning God, glowing golden. He didn’t seem affected. In reality, he was benefiting a lot. Even if some wounds had appeared on his body, they soon healed and vanished.

As the blank genes were filled, new blank genes were opened with the power of lightning and the energy of heaven and earth that Amon’s body was drawing wildly.
