Arian sneaked into the secret cave hidden in the forest inside the cave was a huge mother bear guarding its child Arian quickly took out artifact Charmer's charm it activated as soon as the bear saw it, and he succeeded in taming the wild bear

Arian thought, "It worked What a lucky day! Haha." he was happy but the charm only lasted for days so he made sure to convey that he was no threat to it he gave it food and played with it to his heart's content.

after a while he cleaned the surroundings which were covered with bones and shit, he started setting up all available equipment and glass vessel gathering materials preparing to create a fake ending for the tunnel. It took him four days of his entire free time to make a makeshift lab.

The first goal of the experiment was to use holy tools commonly used for the commoners by priests in temples.

There were a variety of tools and some tools had different versions all in all he only got a few, one of them was called God's fingers, a tool used to apply a mixed paste mainly containing small amounts of a sacred tree to the forehead.

Yes, it was for the third eye activation the pointer was made of gold and had a small mana stone that looked like a finger of sukuna with a red stone, and the gold body was covered in intricate carving.

There were other tools like holy caps called God's Blessings, which looked like dome-shaped metal with more rare material, and array carvings that were used on the head. Although these tools were not used properly, some rich commoners knew about them, and the tools were not given to commoners, but Arian was an exception, as he belonged to a power-backed family.

He started by taking out the beast cores that he got from the secret vault. One of them had a green, dangerous-looking, sharp eye. Looking at it, he placed it under one of the plants.

He did the same for two more plants, and then he took out his mana water dripping machine, which was labeled as dripper Mark 3. Slowly stationing himself above all three plants, he went back to his house.

///////

Coming back, he saw a terrified bear running towards him.

He was spooked for a movement. He held the charm of a Charmer Tier 2 artifact, calming the bear in a split second. He cautiously approached the cave. He looked at the plant that had the green beast core.

The plant was not a plant; it was now a carnivore amalgamation that seemed to have had a great feast recently.

He looked at another plant that was fiery red. He could tell it was not a plant anymore but a flame thrower its branches forming fiery wings one of them formed a ring of fire behind the flower.

gulping, he looked at another plant where there was nothing but ashes and a small purple core in a pool of green water and ash.

"Okay, so color represents the element, and the beast's core has a lingering influence haha more like a complete takeover here I was planning to use it on me as a recovery stone.

Haha," he laughed at his decision to experiment in this cave.

It was the best decision, but also the worst decision. If this were life-threatening, there would be no one to help him, and what if he had done this in his palace? Not only would he be punished, he might have had to pay money for the damage.

After a while, he planned to kill the remaining two by using each other.

The problem was that he had to move one pot near the other. One was a giant plant, and the other was a fire-spitting plant. Although he had a Tier 3 protection ring, he still had to try other things.

As this one was not a reusable artifact, so he had to use it sparingly.

an idea struck him He threw one of the many goblin corpses from his storage ring to the carnivorous plant, which at this point was more like a small growing tree that started eating, and then he slowly pushed its base towards the flame plant.

Well, just as he hoped, it worked. How could it work? He was delusional, even though he knew that it still did.

You see, this wasn't his lucky day, as he thought the cores weren't just normal beast cores but unsubdued or unprocessed raw beast cores in which remnants of their former lives would still remain.

with the tight slap of the vine, arin was trough to the wall making him feel the dual pain of getting slammed into the wall

The battle began as their old instincts and will got stronger, between a carnivorous tree-like thing and a spirit beast that looked most like a fiery bird spirit with little remains of a plant.

The cave trembled. In the end, the fire plant lost its fire as time passed, and who was left? A 9-year-old child was left, a great feast for this plant, or whatever it was at this point.

But just as he was going to use his earrings to call a Tier 1 artifact, a Python came to save the day. It was more of a territory war; he was just a meal waiting to be eaten. As they were fighting, he slowly activated his latest experiment, which he knew for sure. It was going to explode...

Giving him little help, it was a half-dimensional portal. As he tried to imitate the portal symbol and mix it with other ancient symbols, was it a sheer coincidence or one of the plays of golden eyes?

Arian came out thinking, The portal opened, and it started to suck everything in, including the Python and that plant amalgamation running with everything it had. He finally escaped the cave, looking back at the cave, which wasn't a cave anymore, with a giant hole in its roof and a closed entrance.

"Nope, I'm never going to repeat that sh*t; I will only do it in the academy under the teacher's guidance. Not everything is a lie that is confirmed," he said, feeling weird. He trembled once.

With that, he came back to the house, looking dissatisfied with the butler, who thought that the young man in front of him was some old god who had failed his project.

Well, no normal 9-year-old would do these things, even if they didn't know the horrors of failed experiments.

While sleeping, he was trying astral projection, thinking of it as an advanced prep practice. It was an advanced technique that is sometimes used to see the unseen which had various merits and use.

The weird thing was that it worked at one shot when this 9-year-old lad, who didn't know a thing about it, did it. What was even more amazing was that his soul expanded a little outward, not knowing what was happening.

The vision change scared the daylights out of Arian. He turned around well, only to find Manny's golden-colored mixed eyes looking at him.

This further made him scared, and then he somehow managed to deactivate.

The old man thought, "What is he doing?" and "But this confirms my suspicions," the old man muttered.
