Seth's body swelled, about to explode, when a deep authoritative voice reached him.
"Grab on to the remaining gold!"
The voice was commanding that couldn't be denied. Seth didn't even know when he followed the command with the little psionic force he had.
The swelling stopped but the pain was there.
He squirmed and wailed in pain. The pain should have knocked him unconscious, but due to the nature of the cause, he was wide awake.
Spatial Gold is an extremely dangerous resource. It reacts to almost all types of energy and matter. Misuse of it usually incurs violent reactions.
Seth had used it extensively beyond the threshold required, and now it violently reacted.

A man standing in his chamber, a cup of transparent liquid in his hand and his concubine stood beside him. "Is he alright?"
"He should be!" The First Prince said casually. "I can't understand father. He shouldn't have done that before the Dukes and Kings."
She leaned on his refined body with a soft smile. "He is more talented than all of you."
"Unfortunately, yes. But with the weakest in physique. I doubt if he can use Sundown Trait!"
The prince looked at her and then wrapped his hand around her.
"You are a good brother," she whispered, itching to kiss him. "You saved him twice!"
"That is my job as the eldest. And if I ascend the throne, I will need all the help I can get!"
Every Prince has Psionic Power, an ability to move objects with invisible force, but they also develop unique psychic abilities.
First Prince Unique Psychic is Authority Voice.
A voice that can command everything and a force that can drown all sound.
He can project his voice everywhere that he has ever been or to anyone he knew and knew their general direction.
That's how he interfered with the serpent and saved Seth.
That's also how he commanded Seth's power to hold on to the remnants of gold in him.
He is ahead of the game by large margins. Terrifyingly so. But some of his siblings are catching on fast.
***
With the little psionic force Seth held, the gold in him, which made the energised gold calm down before it began to spread its influence across his body.
Amplification is one of the uses of the gold. Enhancing the physical and mental abilities of the person.
Now, the influence spread, and healing commenced.
His fractured bones became firm, not healed yet but intact. Especially his skull.
What was strange was his eyeballs that burst out; there was a hard substance within that slammed across the room.
It was a tiny ball and it rolled and flew back to the eyes under the psychic force attraction.
His mouth filled with blood, and his torn tongue stopped bleeding.
His teeth also were pulled back under the same attraction back to where they were. They mended just like bones inside him.
Slowly, the pain reduced, and he breathed with difficulty.
Under the First Prince's voice authority, he held on to the remnant of the gold that was being used up gradually until it was no more.
His body had mended to a degree. Also no more gold in him.
A soft cool water touched his skin; it accelerated the healing until he was back to normal.
Even his eyes were regenerated. He opened his eyes to his horrified maid. She sighed in relief seeing he had woken up.
She then touched his head, making sure he was perfectly back to his prime.
Even the trauma of pain had been reduced drastically. Seeing that was the case, she bowed and turned. "May I call a servant to clean..."
"No." Seth's voice had changed slightly, more coarse, but it shouldn't be.
He had been healed to perfection. No scars or remnants of wounds.
The maid is a healer. A Tier 4 Healer, one who has studied medicine and healing since a young age.
She is good enough to serve a king but now just a maid to the Ninth Prince.
Seth sat on the blood-covered bed sheets.
"I can clean…"
"No,"
He said as he looked at the side drawer and concentrated. His head pulsed with force and the force began to solidify into a tendril.
Soon the tendril thickened until it was 1m long and 10cm thick.
The maiden nodded, amazed at his fast development.
Tier 1: Line Force is the start of a Psionic.
A force that can only push or pull back in a straight line within one meter.
The force is invisible, but sometimes if it reacts with other things it shows. Touching Spatial Gold will make the force flash yellow.
Through gradual training, a Psionic can mould the force to bring about what is called Psionic Hand or Tentacles.
Seth, having a 10cm Psionic Hand, showed his talent and lineage of the royal family. Most outside can only make thin thread hands.
Seth extended the Psionic Hand to the drawer.
At first, the hand only touched it, then it began to seep inside, spreading its force within.
About 10% of the hand was used up when the drawer shifted and transformed into a helmet.
The maiden trembled. She almost stepped back but held herself back.
"Calm down. I am merely altering your memory a little," Seth said as he eyed her, "to forget some things!"
A flash of realisation came to her. "May the throne blaze through you!"
As a healer and renowned doctor, her healing is not random.
She saw Seth's body in detail; she also saw something he wanted no one to know or even suspect.
That was when she knew he had a prospective Unique Psychic Ability. Something he needs to hide for now.
Of course, what he is going to use on her is forbidden. The Emperor will punish him severely, but who is she to go against the Prince?
With his psionic power, he raised the helmet, and she knelt, and he wore it on her, and her body stiffened.
"Remove your clothes and wear mine,"
That was in case there was something on them recording everything.
Her mind was in stasis; she moved in doing so.
The Psionic Hand was still on the helmet and Seth proceeded to activate it.
The helmet hummed and then floated a bit. The maiden's iris vanished and she became stiff for a moment before she continued to get naked.
Seth smiled, "Ha." He stood, his seriousness vanished, becoming casual as he observed her body.
"Turn around." She did. Everything looked fine before he said, "Scan her body for any device."
There was a device in her umbilical cord. Seth got the information that it was indeed a recording device.
"Override it. Remove my newly sensitive ability!"
The helmet hummed and it was done. "Don't tamper with her memory. Find where her loyalty lies."
The answer came. "Hmm. Lies!" Seth chuckled. The answer was that her loyalty was to him.
"Who placed the device in her?"
Seth frowned before he sighed. It was the Emperor, his father.
Seth guided her body to wear his clothes before he removed the helmet from her.
She startled as she realised she remembered everything, every detail, and there was no gap in her memory.
"May the throne blaze through you!" She said,
her palm coming together making a cup as if accepting alms from him.
"You can go!" he said. She turned and left; immediately another servant came in.
"May the throne blaze through you!" Before clapping his palms together in a prayer gesture.
The blood vanished, the bed was repaired, and the bloody scent was all gone before the scent of perfume covered everything.
"May..." Seth waved his hand. And the servant went outside.
"Finally." Seth breathed deeply. He glanced at the drawer beside him. That is his mother's artefact; she left it for him.
Only he can use it.
"What should I do with my freedom?" Seth asked himself.
"Build myself for the throne!" he answered. He nodded. He desired to be the next Emperor.
Seth will not leave that chance. The Imperial Bloodline blazed through his veins. No way he wouldn't have a desire for the throne.
Seth smiled. "My talent is crippled. Haha," he laughed, "as if I will allow that to happen."
Seth knew his father had little interest in him. Heck, his face always reminded the emperor of his dead wife.
Because he looked more like the Empress than any of his siblings. If he were a girl, he would be a carbon copy of his mother.
Making the room more secure, Seth pulled out a transparent stone, lay on his back and placed it on his head.
Another gift, his mother left hidden inside the drawer. It can take on any type of injury itself.
The stone cracked and began to disintegrate. Seth could feel that his mental power was cooling down.
Trauma of what he had been through, as well as the pain, vanished completely.
Seth's body pulsed with force and he floated up from the bed, his Psion's force spread across the whole room.
"I have truly awakened!" Seth's lips curled up.
He closed his eyes; extremely high-speed thoughts went through his brain.
"Interesting Unique Psychic Ability!" Seth was more than happy with what he got.
An Eye Ability.
