Chapter 203 – (203) Resonance (Part 1)
The trio fell flat on the bed the moment Geth's Mana had completely drained. He watched as the Mana that had formed between them split apart and entered their mental spheres.
"Hmm?"
Through his ragged breathing, he noticed that something was off. Geth forced himself to calm down and turned his attention toward his mental sphere.
He didn't see Albus anywhere. Geth's senses spread out, detecting Albus had receded into the Grimoire.
'I assume he was just giving us some privacy… But why do I feel that something is off?'
None of his selves were around. They had dispersed when Time Delay auto-activated.
He split into eight and sent his selves to inspect the mental sphere. Even though it was part of him, it was massive and had tens of thousands of intricate Runes and Formations.
Just as he was about to walk away, he felt something. It was an odd but… very familiar sensation.
'What is… Zolis..? And Sindri? Why do I feel like they're next to me?'
Technically, they were beside him on the outside, but he was typically fully isolated whenever he entered his mental sphere.
'Mmm.. Up?'
He felt that this oddity was coming from somewhere above him.
'What… are those? Ha, what are those!? But seriously. Albus! You around?'
"Yeah, yeah. Are you done dippin your wick or have yo- Hmm?"
Albus noticed the oddity as well, immediately shifting his eyes up and launching himself toward the top of the dome.
Geth followed suit, flying after him and stopping outside of the inner dome. Just above them, inside the outer dome, there were two globes orbiting around the incoming Mana from the Immersion Formation.
One of the spheres was a stunning bright red and was ten times his height in diameter. The sphere gave off a feisty but kind aura.
Red Mana would lash out from time to time, but it seemed more playful than harmful. He felt both joy and passion while staring at it.
The other sphere was much smaller, being about one and a half times the size of Geth. It was a beautiful orange color that was deep enough to put a morning sky to shame.
The Mana inside this sphere was calm and would sometimes move as if it were trying to look around. This orb gave Geth the feelings of both tranquility and curiosity.
"You must really care for these women, boy."
Geth looked at the older man hovering beside him.
"What do you mean?"
Albus gave him a knowing grin.
"Those orbs mean that you're married, boy! Hahahahah!"
"What..?"
Geth looked at the man incredulously… Albus just stood there grinning, not saying a word.
"Care to elaborate..?" Geth ventured.
"Ahh, sorry. I suppose congratulations are in order!"
Albus clapped his hands, causing a small firework display to release from his fingertips.
"So, marriage was a lot different for us than it was in your time. For you, you'd sign a piece of paper or something, right? Blah!
In the age of Mana, when people share a moment that connects them, their Mana will unite. Much like the three of yours must have."
He stroked his beard and looked at the two orbs. Geth didn't quite understand.
"But Zolis and I have had sex numerous times since we've been here. We even messed around with Alise for a short amount of time. Why did nothing happen then?"
"Hohoho," Albus chuckled deeply.
"It isn't JUST a physical connection, but emotional, spiritual, and mental ones that cause this. Even Mana Resonance matters.
Your emotions have been stagnant ever since I've known you, but that's changed recently. So, even if everything else matched up between you and Zolis, your emotions wouldn't allow this to happen.
As far as Alise goes, both you and your wife lacked spiritual connections and Mana Resonance with her."
Geth looked at the smaller floating orb again. Just the sight of it calmed his mind.
"And Sindri?"
"All three of you must have been on the same wavelengths. Though, her Resonance with the two of you needs time to grow.
She cares for both of you deeply, or this wouldn't have happened even if everything did line up.
Mana Resonance may not match at first, but the more you begin to care for someone, the more it falls in line.
It's possible the three of you could find someone else in the future, but they would have to line up with all of you, not just you.
Mine and my wives' Resonance were the size of planets!"
Albus began chuckling again as he watched the spheres rotating above them. He seemed to be lost in thought.
Geth was about to leave and check on the girls when Albus spoke to him again.
"Make sure that you take care of them. Not that I need to remind you… you'll understand what I mean by that when you open your eyes."
Geth nodded and glanced at the orbs one more time before moving back into his body.
His breathing had calmed down, but he didn't get up right away. He stared at the roof of the cave, thinking over what Albus had just told him.
What was strange was that he could sense Zolis and Sindri right next to him without looking or spreading his Mana Sense.
Even more fascinating, he could tell that the signal he was receiving from Zolis was much stronger than that of Sindri.
Geth sat up and looked toward the two women, curious about Albus' last words.
The moment he laid his eyes on them, his jaw dropped. Both were still lying back with their eyes closed.
Their looks hadn't changed. They were just as stunning as they had always been.
What did change was their aura. He could tell two things from looking at the women.
One. Geth was much more attracted to them than before. Not just physically, but in many ways that he wasn't sure how to describe.
If before they were models in his eyes, they were now Godesses! Both women gave off profound, colorful auras similar to the Mana in their Mana Resonance.
The orange and red Mana formed bright halos around their heads that sent a shroud of color around their bodies.
Two. Geth could tell that he would never lose them in a crowd. Sindri's aura shined like a flashlight in the dead of night.
As for Zolis, she may as well have been a red moon shining in the night sky.. Even without this new sense, he would see her from miles away if the land were flat.
