'Communicate with it. Although I won't be able to find any information using spiritual scan, I can at least help you how to tame it.' Azolla said solemnly. Upon hearing those words, Abium nodded and sent his spirit power to scan the Miracle Gold coin.
After some probing, he soon found a small weak soul hiding in the depths of the coin. Just as Abium's spirit power touched that soul, the whole coin trembled violently.
'Is it scared by my power?'
Abium didn't try to harm the weak soul; instead, he decided to communicate with it.
'Do you have a name?' Abium asked, using spiritual power. Of course, the coin didn't reply.
But that weak soul grabbed a tiny part of his spiritual power and swallowed it!
Abium became startled by that coin's unexpected behavior and soon felt a connection within his soul. He suddenly understood how that soul was feeling.
It was not a conversation between two intelligent beings, but it appeared more like emotional bondage.
At that moment, there was one single emotion that appeared very deeply. Loneliness!
This weak soul was feeling so lonely and even hungry. It was sealed inside this stone for thousands of years and didn't know anything about the outside world. After communicating with that weak soul for a few minutes, Abium felt this small soul in the Miracle gold coin didn't show any resistance and appeared more comfortable communicating with him.
After some time, Abium found out some information about this artifact. It didn't have any name yet. As for its abilities, the first ability is called 'Misfortune.' This artifact could steal others' luck and store them inside its soul while giving them misfortune. The second ability was that this artifact holder could make a 'miracle' using stolen luck from others.
But there was a limit to this ability. This ability could be used only once per year. Moreover, it needs to Steal the luck of tens of thousands of people to create a single miracle.
'Kid, the soul within this artifact will mature slowly and become a formidable one in the future. Intellectual artifacts are hard to control and could bring both luck and disaster. If you aren't being careful enough, it may retaliate or scheme against you in the future. Moreover, it only has a connection with your soul and didn't make any contract. If it found another host who would give more benefit to it in the future, it will definitely leave you.' Azolla's words were cold, which made him understand the situation clearly.
He now knew he had no control over this gold coin and pondered deeply.
'If that fate divinity holder gets his hands on this coin, I will lose it.' Abium turned grim and asked.
'How can I gain full control of this artifact? I'm sure you already have a solution, right?'
'Yes, there is indeed a solution. First, you have to use combine the time divine power along with your spiritual power and imprint on this weak soul. Once you have done that, the enemy wouldn't be able to steal this coin without destroying your soul.' Azolla replied solemnly.
'Time Divine power, huh? Do I have no choice but to rely on that mysterious fountain?' He couldn't help but feel helpless inside.
After all, he knew nothing about that mysterious fountain and always felt suspicious of its origin. Still, Abium thought at least he had to try Azolla's method. He quickly meditated to replenish his spiritual power and let his soul enter the mysterious fountain. But unlike before, he took the Miracle Gold coin in his palm and soon arrived in front of the Mysterious Fountain.
At that moment, he felt heavy pressure appear all over his soul and groaned a little.
Without wasting any time, he turned his attention to the fountain and silently extended his hand toward the pool of white clouds that appeared under the fountain.
Although he wasn't sure what those white clouds were, he vaguely felt they were similar to spirit power. But unlike the ones he had seen in the Astral domain, they looked different.
'There is no doubt about it. These clouds must be the essence of Time Divine power.'
Soon, he grabbed a small amount of white cloud-like energy under the time divinity petal and infused it with his little spiritual power. As he did that, he suddenly understood something about time.
Without time, everything would be incomplete.
Abium could feel much information hidden in the Time divine power, but he didn't have time to comprehend it.
He quickly sent his spiritual power, combined it with divine power, and imprinted it on the weak soul, hiding inside the Miracle Gold coin.
At that moment, a strange image of a lady appeared in his mind. She was around 20 years old and had a heart-shaped face, large puffy lips, dimples on her left cheek, shoulder lengthen blonde chestnut hair and violet eyes. At that moment, she wore semi-rimless eyeglasses. A strange black python coiled around her neck and hissed at him.
Even though it was merely an image, Abium strangely felt she was staring through his soul!
At that moment, the lips on her face started to go upward and formed into an eerie smile!
With a single look, Abium guessed who she was and stiffened.
"Give her a good name, Abium. She will accompany you forever." A cold voice pierced through space and time and echoed inside Abium's Sea of Consciousness!
Before he could think of a second, the vision started to break and soon disappeared!
'What the heck was that?'
Suddenly, a sharp pain appeared in his head, followed by a bunch of information about a spell!
It was another 'Time' spell!
Within a few seconds, he gained some understanding of the time-divine power and learned a time-divine spell!
But what shocked him most was that he had unknowingly used that time spell a few times already!
'Yes, this is the same time-slowing spell I experienced a few times! Quick-Thinking divine spell, huh?' Abium nodded in understanding and shifted his attention to the Miracle Gold coin.
He then took a deep breath and spoke.
"Child of Myxenta! I will call you Miracle Star from now on." As his voice filled with divine power resounded inside the Mysterious Fountain domain, the gold coin turned into a small bracelet under Abium's will and silently lay on his right hand.
Before Abium could check the bracelet clearly, his soul got pulled back from the fountain and returned to his body along with the golden bracelet.
