Descend- Seeing Stars, Sean Oswald [best e books to read .txt] 📗

      Still, Jay felt like a coward for not taking it on. There were still girls that Jay wouldn’t mind being more intricately connected with. Uremi, Abby, and Hanna were prime examples. Harper and Grace had already born his children and while they might not be his favorite members of Team Jay, he did get along with them. Then there was Rosa that he did want to fuse with but who was uncertain about it from her end. Add to that another dozen or so that had expressed interest and that was a great deal of girls to share himself with so completely.

      The power that he would gain from that many more fusions was staggering. He stopped the partition of his mind that made calculations from going there. Each fusion brought more power than the last one and each elevated him further beyond the girls. They made him simultaneously part of a larger whole and more alone.

      He looked down at Meikiyo and said, “I will do it if you say so. But maybe limit how many we do. We shouldn’t expand it any more than we have to.”

      First she looked up and there was a warmth in her eyes, the heat and light of a fire by which you might warm yourself on a cold winter night. But then the fire showed its hunger. For fire was always hungry, it always consumed. Finally, a hardness settled onto her face. “I am not eager to give away pieces of your heart to even more women, but for our son, I will rip my heart out. Do it.”

      He had offered. Her push got him over his fear at least enough to agree to fuse with five more girls, one for each of the stats. This time though he insisted on choosing his own. He would apologize to the others for not allowing them to pick as he had originally intended, but if he were gonna do this, he needed to make sure he picked women he could get along with. Besides, better to ask forgiveness than permission.

      Despite the fact that he could form a fusion in his sleep, Jay still took his time with each of them. He wasn’t even surprised that they all chose the traditional way to form the fusion and desperate times or not he made sure that they enjoyed it. He knew he sure did.

      It was scary to jump into this but by leaning on his offer to Meikiyo he was able to get into the first one and then it was easy from there. He really liked each of these girls and or they were the mother of one of his children. So, in order based upon the stat that they would get the biggest boost in, it was Harper, Abby, Hanna, Grace, and Uremi.

      As he had expected the boosts continued to escalate in power. When he fused with Harper, he gave her an Awareness score of seventeen thousand eight hundred and ninety-seven but by the time he fused with Uremi he gave her a metabolism score of thirty-nine thousand and forty-two. As all of the other fuses adapted, they all ended up with over just over forty-thousand in-between their five stats combined.

      That represented a total increase of almost triple the power they had been before. The same applied to him but now his lowest stat was over thirty-nine thousand and his highest was over forty-seven thousand, before the bonus from the crown. The increase in power took away not only his breath but also those of his fuses.

      Meikiyo thanked him after he told her that he needed to rest. The larger fuses took more and more out of him each time, but that wasn’t surprising based upon the changes that he gained each time. He passed on the same durability and speed traits to all the girls, and they equally shared with one another.

      One interesting development was that the two duplicates of Scarlett were able to grant boosts to each individual's best two skills rather than granting new skills. For his part, Jay gained sonic kinesis from Harper, Disarming Presence from Grace, Summon Objects from Hanna, Flight from Uremi, and Rebound from Abby.

      Rebound was easily melded into his Kinetic Manipulation Mastery and only greatly increased the skill. Disarming Presence was combined with Veil of Illusion in the same way creating an Evolved Skill. Flight was absorbed into his speed skill which was his Primal adaptation skill.

      Once Jay had caught his breath, which required four hours of actual real world sleep he went out to find Eesa since he figured it was rather rude of him to marry a woman and then ignore her for days. Before he left his quarters, he took one last look at his monstrous stats.

Chapter 23- Really Meeting Eesa

When Jay found Eesa she was with Mia, Ava, and a number of Tamoori scientists. He hadn’t teleported but the speeds he moved at now, might have seemed like that to other people. Actually, as he thought about it, he was going to need to set aside time to work on further brain refining. With his increased stats he needed increased processing power.

      The Tamoori all jumped as he came to a stop. He
