Since eggs were hatched with the help of the Hatching Stones, Leo had already thought of something.
Hence, he asked Elder Obe whether he could use the Hatching Stone to hatch the egg; instead of Elder Obe.
"Sure."
Elder Obe knew that in doing so, there won't be any harm to Leo in any way. So, he agreed without any hesitation.
'By letting Leo do that, he would feel more responsible in taking care of that hatchling; however, if he gets attached to the beast too much, he would end up like me.'
Uncle Grey, who was secretly watching Elder Obe and Leo, shook his head.
However, he didn't meddle with Elder Obe's decision and allowed Leo to do it for himself.
'A single low-level Fragment of God Stone contained 0.1 units of God Energy.'
Since the stones were weaker versions of Fragment of God Stones, Leo decided to call them low-level Fragments of God Stones and from the 10 stones he received from Elder Obe, Leo was able to extract one unit of God Energy.
'According to the [Divine Quasi Knowledge], the potential of the hatchlings would increase depending on God Energy absorbed by the hatching.'
Leo silently recalled the information he got by using [Quasi Divine Knowledge] on how to hatch the eggs.
Since Leo had got enough information about hatching the eggs from Elder Obe, it didn't consume much of his mind power.
At the same time, he used his talent by asking a question to himself, 'Can I trust Elder Obe?'
As Leo would be using God Energy that he just accumulated from the low-level Fragments of the God Stones, the hatching that comes out of the egg would be different from the regular hatchlings that Elder Obe had seen.
Therefore, he wanted to make sure whether he could trust Elder Obe completely or not.
As for Uncle Grey, Leo had already learned that he was secretly observing them from Elder Obe. However, Leo had full trust in Uncle Grey.
Hence, he didn't waste his mind power on asking that question for now.
...
Name: Obe Stormrider
Strength: Not requested.
Age: Not requested.
.
.
.
Information about his past: A slave that was saved by Valerian Stormrider and was bestowed a family name. From that point on, he followed Valerian for more than 35 years and wouldn't hesitate to give his life to protect you, the son of Valerian Stormrider.
...
When learning about something there would be tons of information and Leo didn't want to faint again. Therefore, Leo only thought of the vital information he needed about Elder Obe.
'Good. I already have a good opinion of him from his conversation with Uncle Grey. No wonder, he was close with Uncle Grey as they are known for more than 35 years.'
Leo nodded his head and didn't think much while hatching the egg.
….
"Let's hatch it."
On one hand, Leo was holding an egg and a low-level Fragment of God Stone in the other hand.
'Inject'
Just when the stone was about to come into contact with the egg, Leo slowly started sending God Energy into the egg through his hand.
'I have to be careful and not send so much energy into the egg which might explode the beast inside the egg.'
Injecting God Energy into an egg is like a double-edged sword and if he was not careful, it might kill the beast; instead of giving a powerful hatchling.
'Swoosh'
At the same time, the low-level Fragment of the God Stone came into contact with the egg and in the next second, it turned into nothingness after transferring some of its God Energy into the egg.
The transfer of God Energy from the fragment of the God Stones doesn't have 100 percent efficiency as some of the energy would be lost during the process.
However, with the help of God Space, there won't be any loss as it would transfer the energy without any such losses.
'Kacha'
Soon, the egg started cracking as spider-web crack patterns started appearing on the egg.
'Swoosh'
The entire incubator room was filled with a bright light as a small white-coloured butterfly that was around the size of Leo's palm.
"I-it's a Dream Butterfly….a rare-type mid-level beast."
After the blinding light disappeared, Elder Obe was surprised to see the white-coloured butterfly that came out of the egg.
"Also, from the looks of it, it already took a liking to you, Leo."
What's more surprising to Elder Obe was that the newly hatched Butterfly was circling around Leo's head.
Generally, after hatching an egg, the 10-years olds from family should give the favourite food of the best and slowly build their relationship.
Hence, when he saw how the Dream Butterfly was flying around Leo, Elder Obe could not help but get surprised.
"A Dream Butterfly? Already took a liking to me?"
Leo acted surprised but in fact, he was not because he already knew why it took a liking to him.
Since it was Leo who injected God Energy into the egg, obviously, the Dream Butterfly felt a sense of affinity with Leo.
"It looks like you are really lucky to get a special mid-level beast from the egg."
Elder Obe came out of his surprise and spoke to Leo, "Even though it is the first Dream Butterfly hatching from our Beast Ranch, they are not very rare. I will send the information regarding the Dream Butterfly with your uncle later."
Elder Obe had already learned from Uncle Grey that Leo already knew how to read and write. Hence, he wanted to send everything about the Dream Butterfly so that Leo could have a better understanding of his first pet.
"Thank you, Elder Obe."
Leo wanted to ask about that; however, before he could ask, Elder Obe promised to send the information related to Dream Butterfly.
"Also, if possible, can I have the books regarding the Rockwing butterfly."
After some thinking, Leo only chose to focus on the Rockwing butterfly since it was the easiest beast to evolve.
"Sure."
Elder Obe agreed and soon, he said, "You can stop hiding and take him back now and let him play with his pet."
