Mind of the absolute Lv. 2 => 3
---
With now 8 minds, I refocused on the construction of the cure for the zombie infection; the effects of both Knowledge and Mind of the Absolute were way beyond what I had expected. Before I had them, using several skills to combine the knowledge I had gathered and then make all of my mind's use said knowledge to formulate ideas required more strain, to the main that my stamina and health were being reduced, but now? Now my mind had been morphed into something above mortal, and my knowledge had morphed into a library that fused everything I have ever known, know, and will ever know.
While my hands mixed several chemicals and magical crops, or monster parts, to create a possible cure, several other mana hands, made with the use of the mana construct spell and controlled with telekinesis, I let 4 of my hands control the hands to let me focus solely on the alchemy behind creating a cure.
While I focused on the main project, the little elves that were inside my magic lab also ran several other possibilities for a cure.
'Mhhh, okay, phoenix tear mixed with dragon's blood doesn't create life, instead causes the life inside of someone's body to just become stronger. If forced inside a zombie, they will just have their body explode because of the difference between the two energies.'
Another possible solution was discarded, but not wasted, considering such a potion could be used for other things.
" Dad?"
Everything that was on the table disappeared inside my inventory in under a second.
" Yes, sweaty?" I hoped she saw nothing, but it was too late; my daughter's eyes were already looking through my soul.
" Were you working again?" Maria asked me, and Laura, on her side, nodded while pouting.
"... No? Look, ice cream." I said while making two cones appear, I had learned that emergency ice cream is a move that can save 99% of the time from angry daughters.
" Granpa already gave us ice cream. Were you working?" This is the remaining 1%.
"... Yes."
" You promised today would be a rest day."
" I am not exactly working, though; I am just imagining and creating dozens of possible recipes to create a cure for a disease no one has ever been able to cure before."
" That is working for me and Laura, so you are working, not buts." She crossed her arms and looked away. Laura looked at her for a second and then copied her sister.
If my heart hadn't been made of mana, I am quite sure it would have stopped and then shattered. Who am I kidding? Even if it's mana with mana, it still shattered.
" How could the two of you ever forgive me?" I said with my eyes closed and a hand on my head, landing a perfect Greek drama pose.
" Cony Island."
" What?"
" We want to go to Cony Island, eat some churros or corn dogs, and have you get us a peluche."
"... Are you sure? I could get a diamond from Neptune and create a magical item that makes you able to fly."
" We have a dozen of those, we want Cony Island."
Right, I have given enough items to the two of them that even New York exploding couldn't leave a scratch on them, but I am still a paranoid father.
" Teaching you magic?"
" No."
" Learning to paint? Or making pots?"
" No."
" Seeing the wonder of space?"
" No."
"... Fine." The eyes, man, it's the weeping cat's eyes that always get me.
They grabbed each other's hands and jumped up and down in glee. Seeing Mary smile always made me melt, but seeing the once cold and detached from emotions, Laura smile too made me a proud father. The therapy plus psychology skill at the max level works wonderfully with traumatized children.
" Let me just..." I searched inside my inventory, and when I found the icon for the item I was looking for, I took out a pair of glasses.
" Are those magically enchanted to make them less noticeable?" Mary asked me.
I looked at the glasses.

"... Yeah, something like that."
Making some other preparations, said preparations being Yao knows that if something happened, he will be more than ready to call every favor he had to save his two grandaughters, we finally departed for Cony Island.
Making sure their trackers worked, I let the two girls run around, giving each $ 50 to spend however they wanted, while also telling them I would remain near the entrance in case they needed anything.
Seeing the two girls run together to explore, I smiled and sat down on a nearby bench.
" First time?" Someone asked me from the side, who I hadn't even noticed, maybe I was too focused on the girls to see him.
" That obvious? Until now I kept them safe, but now..."
" A life isn't lived if there isn't a little bit of danger, and if it's something they can't deal with, I am sure their dad will be there to help."
" You are right, it's just my paranoia, I have seen things that make me worry more than necessary."
" I get you, kid, I get you more than you can imagine, well, good luck with your life as a father."
" Nice mustache by the way, best one I have ever seen."
" I know, kid, I drew it."
What?
