The Wonders of Void were treasures that were born directly in the depths of the Endless Void, from the purest and most potent energies of the Endless Void. Thus, they represented the most precious thing that one could even think of.
So, certainly, I was fearing that both of them would have some trouble assimialting the Wonders of the Void, because such things were scarcely done, very scarcely done and from what I read and heard, only Paragons attempted to do so.
It was an exceedingly dangerous thing to do, but I also knew that it could be done by much weaker beings, if they had a tremendous affinity for the said Wonder of Void. Such is the case of my wives, as they indeed have the highest affinity for the Wonders of the Void that I gave them.
It certainly took some time, as we remained within the Heart of the Universe while Grayfia and Venelana were constructing their Arcane Crests and reaching Tier 12, or how we called it, within the Higher Dimensional World of Baator, the Exarchy.
Both were there with the help of Source Energy, managed to reach the Exarchy without many problems, and soon enough, reached the Exarchy as they finished the construction of the Arcane Crest when they fully incorporated the two Wonders of Void into it.
Now, when they were finished, they started assimialting the remaining Source Energy, to increase their power as much as possible within the short span of time, and at the same time, they were also consolidating their Arcane Crests.
That was another important step that every single Exarch needed to complete, and it usually took years, decades, centuries, and for the less talented people, even a few millennia would be required to consolidate the Arcane Crests.
Just after breaking through to the Tier 12 Exarchs, their Arcane Crests were still not very stable and could be severely damaged if they were overused in combat or if they were directly attacked.
Something like that then required a consolidation period that varied from Exarch to Exarch, but with the direct help of Source Energy, the time span of it, which would normally be in several decades, was shortened directly to a few years.
This was another of the miracles of the Source Energy and the wonders it was capable of, such as entirely stabilizing the Arcane Crests of newly advanced Exarchs within just a few hours; that was something unthinkable.
Even for me, it took a few years to completely stabilize my Arcane Crest and my foundation, though, for me, I had my enormous talent and Soul Aptitude to support me in the matter. Yet seeing the Source Energy in action was something fascinating...
I could observe in real-time how the Source Energy was stabilizing the Arcane Crests, meaning the cracks and flaws that were within the Arcane Crests. When the entire process was finished, I could see that both of them were waking up from their trance-like state.
"I see that the procedure has been successful..."
Muttering I could see that the Fimbulvetr and Eye of Destruction were perfectly assimilated into their very own beings and into their Arcane Crest. The power of the Arcane Crests enhanced by the Wonders of Void Fimbulvetr and Eye of Destruction was frightening to say at least...
Something that I didn't think was possible and the results were much better than I anticipated. Their Arcane Crests got approximately thrice stronger than average Arcane Crests should be for an average Exarch.
It was almost mind-blogging, but with this, for sure, they would be able to rival those who had the most unique and powerful Paths and Arcane Crests. Given enough time, their Arcane Crests would be strong enough to rival my own Arcane Crest, and that was one of the most powerful.
Containing the End and Ruin...
Their Arcane Crests still needed some time to grow to such a degree, but I didn't really doubt that they would be in the near future. As long as they were given enough time, with their Arcane Crests, their power would be enough to compete easily with even the strongest Half-Step Primarchs.
"How are you feeling?"
I asked them when I finished studying their current state.
"Powerful, filled with energy and vigor, yet a bit tired... especially mentally tired."
I nodded upon hearing that from Grayfia because the entire procedure was mentally tiring, very tiring... one would be left in a state of mental exhaustion for several days straight...
"That would fade away after some time... could you properly control your Arcane Crest?"
Hearing my question, Grayfia summoned her Arcane Crest that radiated the power of the Fimbulvetr. With the addition of the Fimbulvetr, the Annihilation and Ice completely merged into the Wonder of Void and created a new entity together with the Fimbulvetr.
"I have some trouble with the energy output... but that would come with enough training and control..."
I nodded while I took a look at Venelana, seeing that she had some more severe problems with her power and controlling it. Mainly because the Destruction Energy was one of the hardest things to control.
If one was not careful enough, then one could be easily overcome by the Destruction Energy and killed instead; such were the dangers of the Destruction Energy. It was deadly even for the most apt practitioners of the Destruction Arts.
"The Arcane Crest is more volatile after the fusion with the Eye of Destruction... I would need some time to control the Energy..."
Hearing Venelana saying that made me nod my head because it was an understandable and even predictable outcome, in fact. The Eye of Destruction was too powerful to be controlled outright without significant training.
She would need to spend a lot of time controlling the Arcane Crest, especially now that it was created with the Eye of Destruction. I already had something like that; hopefully, she would need only a short time to learn to control her Arcane Crest.
In the state she was right now, it was impossible for Venelana to use her Arcane Crest in the fight, or else, the Destruction Energy that was now tremendously powerful from the Eye of Destruction would severely injure her or even kill her.
