Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 1935: Karma

"Hmm? Your body is full. And I don’t understand your body’s anatomy, so which part can I transmute to make a small room in your body?"

"Oh?" Machina didn’t expect that. "This is a problem. Everything in my body is important. Even though they look like that, there are many micro-components in each part. I can repair them if they’re broken, but if they are being transmuted without giving me space to work with..."

Machina looked at her own body, trying to figure out a solution.

Nathan smiled. "I guess this is where I should provide the solution."

"Master?"

Nathan raised his hand and formed a contract. "I will use this as your foundation. Then, this power will be transmuted into your body. Since my contract is attached to your soul, or more like your intelligence, it won’t occupy a single space in your body, Machina."

"..." Catalith narrowed her eyes, trying to see through this contract. However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t figure anything out.

"Let’s see. Since we’re going to use the heart of the saint, I will need to use ten million ena to establish the contract. However, to ensure that the foundation is established properly, I won’t use additional ena so that you can grow from the beginning. It shouldn’t take long for you to reach this level, Machina... Well, it will be quite long to establish your divinity, but a divine machine sounds quite interesting." Nathan smiled.

Nathan showed the contract to Machina. "Sign it."

"Thank you very much, Master." Machina hurriedly thanked Nathan for the opportunity.

As soon as Machina signed it, the contract was activated. The energy from the contract established its case as the contract entered Machina’s body.

However, the activation of the contract also allowed Catalith to see why Nathan was so confident that he could use this magical contract to create a foundation for Machina.

She couldn’t help but snap. "Karma?! Are you crazy? Did you just use so much karma to create a foundation for her?"

"Karma?" Machina was confused. She might know a lot, but this was the first time she had heard about karma. She only knew about the magical contract, not everything about it, especially the cost of using it.

Catalith was even more shocked when Machina didn’t even know what Nathan had just done.

Catalith explained, "Karma is the most mysterious power in this universe. It’s more complex than anything, so I can’t entirely explain it. However, if I have to explain it, it will be something like the law of causality.

"You can only gather karma by changing causality. If it happens to be good, you will get karma. If it doesn’t look good for this universe, you will receive bad karma that can only be washed away by your good karma, or you might end up encountering misfortune.

"If you want to become a saint, you will need karma. A god like me is able to slightly utilize karma as my power, but that’s it.

"This is why saints do a lot of things in the mortal realm. They’re gathering karma to become gods. Most of the time, the reason saints can’t become gods is due to the lack of karma.

"That’s why it’s the most precious resource of a person. It’s priceless. Even I only have about a fist-sized karma.

"He used about a fifth of that karma to establish a foundation for you, changing your own causality from a machine to a living being recognized by this universe, which allows you to create your foundation like any living being in this universe.

"It’s said that the Outer Gods are strong because they accumulate too much karma as they’ve existed near the beginning of the universe."

This was the first time Machina learned about karma. It was surprising that Nathan was willing to give that much karma.

For a goddess like her, it was truly a lot. There was no way she would give that much karma to Machina, no matter how much she liked her.

For Nathan, it was just a few drops in the bucket, but Machina and Catalith didn’t know that.

"I finally understand why you stick with him." Catalith shook her head helplessly. "If I actually have a master or a teacher who is willing to provide that much karma, I would surely follow him."

Machina hurriedly lowered her head. "Thank you very much, Master. I don’t know how to repay you. I have never thought that a being like me is allowed to have such a precious thing."

Nathan smiled. "You are worth it. Don’t worry about it. I just want to fulfill my promise to you."

Machina originally wanted to gain this power because she was curious and wanted to get as strong as Nathan. She didn’t know the price she had to pay.

Inside Machina’s head, another process was going on. After realizing what Nathan had done for her, she changed her code slightly.

[Establishing a new protocol.]

[Registering Nathan Reckmoon as the absolute master.]

Machina was making Nathan not only the master she served to fulfill her purpose, but even if there was no purpose, she would continue to support him.

Machina would remain loyal to Nathan. Even if he died, she would be his descendants’ ally.

Catalith just shook her head, impressed. This would harm Nathan’s path to becoming a god.

If someone proposed to her like that, she would definitely accept it and marry that person.

She wasn’t exaggerating. She had used a lot of karma to become a god, but even then, she probably had the second most or third most karma in this entire world.

Catalith extended her hand, examining Machina again. "I see. I think I can transmute the heart into her this time. The target is the contract, yes?"

"Yes. Will it cause any problems?"

"No. Since the contract is attached to her directly, it will work just fine."

"Then please do it."

Catalith nodded and put the green heart on Machina’s chest. "Transmute."
