Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure Chapter 2096: Making her a supervisor (3)

A subtle grin formed on my lips as I observed this, only to fade away in an instant.

Truth be told, she was nowhere near mastering it completely.

While the creation divine energy had emerged victorious, this hardly implied that her command over the technique was flawless.

The feedback from the orb during her manipulation made it evident that it wasn't unleashing its maximum potential.

Beyond the orb's divine energy not reaching full strength, Dorothy was restraining herself as well. She could only channel the divine energy in this manner by suppressing her corruption energy.

She'd grasped the key to it, yet true mastery still eluded her.

This required experimentation on her part to unlock the orb's complete might.

Rushing the process wouldn't yield results.

Celebrating this breakthrough alone was commendable enough.

However, for her to press on, I needed to act first.

"Alright, it’s time to take a break."

This time, I projected my voice clearly so Dorothy could catch it.

She showed no immediate response, but soon pivoted her gaze toward me.

Her eyes carried an expression that silently questioned something.

I withheld the response she sought, extending my hand instead to retrieve the orb from her grasp.

It was only after securing the orb that I nodded, affirming what her gaze had implied.

Upon receiving this nod, Dorothy's face displayed an intensified shock, followed by a desire to inquire further.

Yet before she could voice it, I declared, "I told you that we would suppress it together. This is the method that I’ve found and it only seems to work with creation attributed divine energy. So work hard to master this."

Dorothy retained that stunned expression, but she soon offered a resolute nod.

This marked the initial discovery of a viable aid for her affliction.

We could employ divine energy to curb the corruption energy within her, but it offered little real benefit. Moreover, it tended to accumulate more corruption energy, worsening her state.

The core issue lay in the pain it inflicted on her, though she concealed it well.

This girl had learned to mask her feelings due to her upbringing.

Rose had shared these insights with me regarding Dorothy. She yearned to foster trust, assuring Dorothy that we posed no threat and that opening up was safe.

Nevertheless, such barriers didn't crumble overnight.

Now, I'd uncovered a means to ease her suffering without her needing to admit the pain outright.

Once I infused the orb with energy, I returned it to Dorothy, who immersed herself in it again.

I observed as she directed the orb to emit the divine energy.

My focus was on her method of regulating the divine energy's outflow from the orb—or more precisely, on the quantity of divine energy contained within it.

The corruption energy's role was to substitute for the usual cost incurred when utilizing divine energy from another source. Creation divine energy operated this way; it resisted being wielded by outsiders.

Throughout the process, the orb's divine energy remained undiminished.

I'd anticipated it would require time for Dorothy to adapt, but on her second attempt, she intuitively wielded it. She compensated perfectly with her corruption energy, leaving no gaps.

Her seamless command suggested total dominion over both the divine and corruption energies.

"She really is talented." I muttered under my breath, witnessing her prowess.

Queenie had watched intently at the start, but boredom set in midway. Dorothy was merely repeating the exercise, gradually amplifying the corruption energy involved.

Having comprehended the core concept, it boiled down to refining her control through repetition.

This held no appeal for Queenie.

Her curiosity had stemmed from its freshness, but with the novelty gone...

I continued monitoring Dorothy's practice until I finally interjected, "Alright, it’s time to stop."

Dorothy was utterly absorbed in the orb, requiring me to call out twice to draw her notice. Even then, her concentration made it clear she resisted halting.

Still, I insisted, "It’s already dark, it’s time to get some rest. There’s no point in exhausting yourself for this."

Dorothy appeared reluctant to cease, but my unyielding expression left no room for debate.

Thus, she reluctantly set the orb aside and departed with me.

Though as we exited, I noticed her glancing back at the orb once more.

Her gaze resembled a child's farewell to a cherished plaything.

...

"She’s gone!"

I jolted awake in the dead of night, startled by the exclamation.
