Chapter 489: Merged Body and Soul Reproduction
"Seems like a Holy Artifact, but the feeling it gives me is very strange... Mm, I don't know either. Who asked me to be completely ignorant about forging Holy Artifacts?"
Helaire beside him heard Fisher's doubt and replied thusly.
But looking at the goat horn on his body at this time, the muddleheaded Fisher seemed to finally realize something. He suddenly remembered the matters that seemed to have happened just a moment ago. He recalled that Like a Dream or Illusion process, recalled that black Ocean he saw, recalled the words of the Authority, and also recalled the experience of being pulled away from his own body by the silent song.
This black goat horn seemed to be exactly the thing he saw in his dream inside the body of the Angel attempting to kill Gou Wen. He wanted to save Gou Wen, so he said a sentence to that Angel, unexpectedly bringing this thing over, and then that Angel died.
Since this goat horn is real, then everything before should also be real.
Thinking of this, Fisher shared what he thought of with Helaire, wanting to know her opinion. Although she looked very unserious, she was a Mythical Species after all and might know some things about this.
After hearing this, Helaire tapped her chin, analyzing,
"Listening to your description, you were taken to a very strange place by that song..."
"Mm, there were many stars there, and it was very dark. I might have also seen other things midway, but I really can't remember."
"Could it be that song wanted to take you to a hidden place, and then harvest your kidney?"Fisher's expression darkened. If that song wanted to do this, then it definitely must be Helaire herself,
"So, do you have any clues?"
"Clues, huh... What do you think that song wanted to do? Did it harbor malicious intentions towards you?"
"Malicious intentions?"
Fisher tried to recall for a moment, then shook his head, saying,
"No, I don't think it's like that... At that time, I conversely felt very comfortable and intimate. Of course, this doesn't exclude it being the other party's bewitchment, but I truly didn't feel any malice. It wanted to take me away, to a place I didn't know."
"But you didn't leave with it, right?"
Helaire looked at him smilingly. Fisher glanced at her, knowing she was asking him the reason.
He sighed, then said,
"Why would I go to an unfamiliar place with it? I still have unfinished business here..."
As he spoke, Fisher again thought of the ladies who pulled his consciousness back at the crucial moment. He indeed cared about them, especially when thinking about never seeing them again.
"Oh, unfinished business, huh. Could it be because of someone or some people you care about? For example, the ladies you knew before?"
"Or for example, you?"
Hearing this, Helaire cupped her face with both hands, smiled mischievously, and mumbled in a deep, cute voice imitating Fisher's male voice,
"'If it was because of that bad Angel Helaire, I would have followed that song away long ago, because that guy is very, very bad and always teases me', is that it?"
"..."
Was Helaire included in this?
Hearing her inquiry, Fisher suddenly thought thusly. But no matter how he recalled, he couldn't remember whether he had thought of this evil Angel at that time.
Perhaps he had, only he didn't remember. Because when he was about to lose control, when that streak of morning light appeared, he indeed had a feeling of wanting to shed tears.
He slowly sat up, rubbed his head, and erased the tinnitus continuously emerging in his mind. Only then did he turn his head to look at the smiling Helaire.
Like usual, she generously tilted her head, allowing Fisher to size her up, making him Unable to Wait to kiss her.
Annoying Angel.
Fisher looked down at the palms of his hands. According to Helaire's claims, he seemed to have successfully advanced into the Mythic Rank.
At this very moment, Fisher hadn't completely recovered yet. What's more, he had just been tortured by the madness in his mind for a full four days; it was normal not to feel much strength. It wasn't to the extent of immediately relaxing all over and becoming energetic like a superman or monster right after advancing.
But this didn't prevent him from inspecting his condition at this moment.
The most crucial characteristic of a Mythical Species was Body and Soul Unity. Under the prodding of Fisher's power, Magic Circuits similar to before didn't light up on his body again. Instead, existences resembling blinking eyes one by one squirmed, giving him a fright.
Looking closely, those squirming eyes one by one seemed to be composed of countless darting symbols. Fisher had seen that symbol more than once; it was exactly the inverted figure-8 "∞".
"Stop looking, you indeed have already advanced to the Mythic Rank. This seems to be the concrete manifestation of your power drawing upon Rules. But the nature of the power of each Mythic Rank is very special; you can experiment more. After reaching the Mythic Rank, you will be like obtaining a new life, just like a newborn baby, needing to adapt to everything."
Helaire floated up, assumed a boxing stance, and while shadowboxing in place, continued to explain for Fisher,
"Unlike us Mythical Species, when we were forged by the Lord God, we would all receive His oracle, just like an instruction manual. Mythical Species created via the Authority of Order thus have limitations; our total number cannot exceed 200. But those who advance postnatally are not included in this. After all, such individuals are very, very few. Moreover, you even entered this rank through Chaos..."
"All Rules cannot bind Chaos."
Fisher nodded. Substantively, he had analyzed these things Helaire said previously. These conclusions could easily be reached merely relying on logical reasoning.
He was just somewhat curious, after entering the Mythic Rank, what should he do about his Magic?
Soul and physical body had completely merged into one, but engraving Magic only required Soul power. Using this mixed power, he didn't know what kind of situation would arise.
Previously, in Fisher's memory, there were only two existences above the Mythical Rank confirmed to have used Magic. They were Mother Goddess and Eliog respectively. One was the creator of Magic, and the other used it during Fisher's training. He didn't know what the situation was.
Then currently, three matters waiting to be resolved appeared before Fisher:
First was figuring out the source and purpose of that song during advancement. Fisher felt this was very important.
Second was completely figuring out his newly advanced Mythic Rank body. Of course not right now, he was about to die from weakness right now. However, the recovery speed of the Mythic Rank was astonishingly fast; it was estimated he could fully recover within today.
Third was figuring out the efficacy of this bizarre Holy Artifact resembling a goat horn in his embrace. This thing was stuck on his body right now and couldn't be pulled off, like a dog-skin plaster.
Exactly at the same time and same moment, Fisher's chest suddenly grew hot. Fisher was extremely familiar with that sensation of heat. He reached out and felt, the several items at his chest were all intact, even the item of Renee's he had gripped in his palm just now for advancement was still flickering with purple brilliance.
Just as Helaire had said, it merely required utilizing its aura to assist advancement.
And what was heating up just now wasn't anything else; it was Fisher's old friend, the Demi-Human Completion Handbook.
Following Fisher's touch, that handbook at his chest suddenly bloomed with a streak of faint golden light only Fisher could see. That faint light slowly covered Fisher's eyes, emerging lines of illusory text.
【Detected that your rank has advanced to Mythic Rank, congratulations!】
【The power of normal Mythical Species originates from under standing the Rules here, yet you are exactly the opposite; the Chaos that disrupts Rules has served as the origin of your power. In the world of Order, you will be tormented and repelled at all times. This is precisely the essence of the madness you endure.】
【The Demi-Human Completion Handbook version has iterated. The accompanying services more suitable for the constitution of Mythic Rank babies have been updated.】
【You have unlocked the research progress requirement beyond 50% for Demi-human Races!】
【New Research Requirement: Linked Research, Sample Comparison】
【Command multiple bound research subjects to jointly research to obtain additional research progress. When certain corresponding Demi-human Races are jointly researched, additional research points or progress will be generated (for example: simultaneously researching Dragon-kin and Whale-kin). Specific joint research sequences can be queried later.】
【Mythic Rank Advancement Assistance has been enabled!】
【Progress to Advance to Sixteenth Tier: 0%. After completely mastering this rank, the advancement requirements and advancement rewards will be unlocked.】
【Advancement Requirements: Completely read the "Soul Completion Handbook", two research progress points of any single bound Demi-human Race reach 75%, and you have not completely gone mad or been Hacked to Death With Many Knives (crossed out) have not died.】
Watching this large pile of new things popping out, Fisher's brow tweaked slightly.
Whale-kin and Dragon-kin?
Didn't this mean asking him to simultaneously research Jasmine and Raphaela?
Setting aside other things, just with one fighting and killing on the Southern Continent and the other sleeping on the seafloor, gathering the two of them together would be extremely difficult, right? Furthermore, he still needed to find a reason or buffer to resolve their conflict.
This was an extremely troublesome and headache-inducing segment. It couldn't be that without any preparation, he just let them meet directly?
If that was the case, Fisher truly would feel he was going to be Hacked to Death With Many Knives by them...
Fortunately, they had never met at this time; he still had opportunities to maneuver.
Fisher calmly and confidently thought thusly.
Although he saw the somewhat reddish handwriting on the Demi-Human Completion Handbook, honestly speaking, Fisher didn't take it to heart. Instead, he placed his gaze on the requirement to advance to the Sixteenth Tier below.
Here, the Demi-Human Completion Handbook unexpectedly proactively proposed that to advance, one must read other Completion Manuals...
This was consistent with Fisher's previous conjecture. After he obtained other manuals, the corresponding bonuses of the Demi-Human Completion Handbook would become fewer and fewer.
After obtaining the Soul Completion Handbook, the Soul strength wouldn't increase; after obtaining the Life Completion Manual, the Constitution wouldn't increase.
This also indicated that the Demi-Human Completion Handbook hoped he would go read the other Completion Manuals, even if this brought side effects. When originally advancing to Mythical Species, he was already nearly driven crazy; he dared not imagine what consequences would result from continuing to read...
Fisher also wasn't sure if he should continue doing this. Because currently, it seemed that after dispelling death, there was no need for him to take risks anymore. Being able to remove the conflicts among the several ladies would make him Thank Goodness...
He held reservations about this. He hoped more to wash his hands of the martial arts world after this time, and honestly pay off the debts owed from before first.
Moreover, through this point, Fisher felt increasingly curious about the true identity of the Demi-Human Completion Handbook's contributor.
This Transferred Person not only had extreme understanding of the Completion Manuals created by all other Transferred Persons, but she herself was obviously also a very formidable Transferred Person. Moreover, according to the description by the Moon Princess previously of that strange woman suspected to be the Demi-Human Completion Handbook's contributor, this Transferred Person should be very high-profile.
Strangely, no other Transferred Person knew information about her, not even knowing there was another handbook circulating outside.
Right, didn't Moon Princess mention that when she gave birth to that Stillbirth, that Transferred Person once invited a Whale-kin doctor from the sea?
That doctor worked miraculous cures, unexpectedly stabilizing the condition of a Stillbirth without a Soul...
Looking at it this way, this description fit the unlucky guy Gou Wen very well.
Could it be this guy had already known that Transferred Person long ago, only he liked keeping it from himself just like he kept the matters regarding Sorobato from him?
This unlucky bastard...
Fisher maintained suspicion towards Gou Wen in his heart, preparing to verify it later. Now he'd leave here with Helaire first. Four days had passed in Reality; he didn't know how the situation with Asuka Karasawa and Margaret was...
Just as Fisher finished reading all the information and prepared to leave, the golden text before his eyes changed slightly again, emerging other information.
【Contributor's Note: Congratulations on entering the Mythic Rank. There's also one thing I forgot to write in the Completion Manual, so I had to write it in the notes.】
【Regarding strengthening Reproduction Ability, after you enter the Mythic Rank with Body and Soul Unity, this ability to reproduce will bring more and more interesting sensations. The endurance at that time will be worlds apart from the previous endurance; remember to grasp it yourself. The most crucial point is, the Demi-Human Completion Handbook will also help you prosper all the way in this aspect later on. I've designed quite a few supporting Reproduction Ability strengthening points targeted at Mythical Species; you'll know when the time comes. The crucial point is to research more Demi-Human Girls while maintaining your own safety.】
【In short, please look forward to it!】
【.。().。】
Look forward your mom!
Fisher's expression darkened, nearly smashing and throwing the heating Demi-Human Completion Handbook in his embrace away. But even so, he still couldn't hold back from panting heavily.
No other reason, because in these past few seconds in the real world, he had already begun to feel something amiss.
That inherently unbearable, terrifying Reproduction Power of the physical body at this moment seemingly Baffling And Unaccountable took root in his Soul, making Fisher suddenly feel it was somewhat hard to control.
He suddenly felt his physiological conditions and offensive desires had gained substantial enhancement again. For others, it might be in a positive sense, but for Fisher, it wasn't a good thing.
If this continued, he truly would transform into a beast of reproduction... mm, the Mythic Rank kind.
"What's wrong, suddenly having such a stinky expression?"
Exactly at this time, Helaire beside him suddenly reached out and touched Fisher's cheek. This touch almost made Fisher explode from being touched. His body was already uncomfortable; this touch was like lightning piercing through Soul and body, making him wish he could press her to the ground and execute her on the spot...
But they agreed on tomorrow night, so tomorrow night it is; she hadn't completely transformed into a female yet.
Thus, he slightly took a step back, dodging Helaire's caress.
"Yo, shy?"
"...No, just my condition isn't too good, that's all."
Helaire nodded, then reached her hand out in front of him.
Fisher glanced at her, asking,
"What?"
"Hold it."
"..."
After hesitating for a moment, Fisher still reached out and pinched her small hand that had already become tender. After pinching it, only under her satisfied expression did he let go.
"Good, good. Right, what about the gift you prepared for me?"
"There are two gifts..."
Fisher stopped in place as he spoke, as if suddenly remembering something. And Helaire beside him smilingly flexed her fingers, saying,
"In that case, give me one today, give me another tomorrow night, it has more a sense of ceremony... what's wrong, why did you suddenly stop again."
"..."
Fisher turned his head to look at this forest leaning East and tumbling West, instantly feeling a bit guilty.
The gifts he prepared for Helaire were all with the camel, and it seemed... before he advanced, he had used a long rope to tie it dead beside a tree...
Could it be, by now it had already passed away taking that Crown with it?
