The Handbook for Completing Demi-Human Girls

Chapter 705: Fighting You With My Life

"Beep beep... beep beep..."

Fisher focused his gaze intently on the Completion Handbook before him. At this moment, the contents of several Completion Handbooks had all flowed into his heart. While the Demi-Human Completion Handbook on his chest became scorching hot, rows of illusory text also presented themselves before his eyes.

【Congratulations, you have finished reading the Death Completion Manual, Destiny Completion Manual, and Life Completion Manual】

【The conditions for elevating your rank have been completed!】

Fisher looked at the illusory text before his eyes without speaking, merely turning himself bit by bit back into the appearance of a Chaos-kin.

As that illusory silhouette extended twisted shapes bit by bit, the true form of the Chaos-kin was also thoroughly exposed. Chaos-kin inherently only possessed a soul without a physical body, unlike the property of 【Body and Soul Unity】 in reality. Thus, upon entering reality, they would be forced to form a physical body, causing a drop in rank.

This process was completed by the Crevice. Earlier, when the Crevice was damaged, several Demigod rank Chaos-kin unexpectedly hadn't formed physical bodies. This already signified that following Dagon's loss of consciousness, the rules of reality had already begun to collapse to a certain extent.

Fisher's Chaos-kin main body also possessed this property. This meant his main body was merely an empty soul without a fleshly body. His human fleshly body was fabricated by the Usurping Life Chaos. The time of fabrication was before he obtained the Life Completion Manual. Ever since he considered himself a human staying beside Nun Teresa, his physical body was counterfeited by the Usurping Life Chaos.

This also signified that the Demi-Human Completion Handbook might be exceedingly proficient in all Completion Handbooks and the Chaos behind them.

However, the property of containing multiple forms of Chaos should only exist within his own body. Fisher didn't understand how the Demi-Human Girl Con managed to achieve it."..."

When Fisher reverted to his Chaos-kin main body, while the Demi-Human Completion Handbook clung tightly to his chest, the golden light upon it also grew increasingly bright, spreading golden lines into the interior of his body. This time, the Demi-Human Completion Handbook no longer mentioned any nonsense about simultaneously researching multiple demi-humans, but automatically formed his human skin from those golden lines, bursting with immense power from within.

His rank obtained elevation once again, but he was still a Completion Handbook away from reaching the extent of being able to meet Renee's main body.

Simultaneously, the illusory text before his eyes fluctuated like a tide once more, displaying more information,

【Detected that you have completely entered the space of the Spirit World. Relevant content has been unlocked for you】

【Unlocked the map of the Spirit World: Walking to key spatial nodes will unlock the map records of that region】

【Unlocked research entries related to Chaos-kin: For completely different individual Chaos-kin, you cannot bind individual entities to research the traits of Chaos-kin, but knowing their commonalities will still yield rewards. For example: Exploring the origin of their "Yin and Yang Reversal" trait, exploring their societal structure and living habits, etc.】

Fisher fell silent for a moment, looking at the various rules and frameworks floating before his eyes. Sometimes he truly suspected that the calamity that was the Demi-Human Girl Con was still living perfectly fine beyond the Barrier up to now, and could even verify his condition through the Demi-Human Completion Handbook; otherwise how could it be so attuned to human nature?

However, the map was quite useful to Fisher. Thinking about it carefully, the Spirit World was filled with Scarlet Mist everywhere. Even if one wasn't influenced by Its power and plunged into danger, just being in pitch-blackness coupled with the dense mist, one probably couldn't even distinguish the path ahead clearly.

It was just that at this moment, the map on the Demi-Human Completion Handbook only displayed this small area nearby him. It didn't require Fisher's marking; the name of this place had already appeared on the map,

【Lamashtia's Ruins】

He was just preparing to stand up and walk around the vicinity, when he abruptly saw a massive white dot on the illusory map before his eyes approaching the illuminated range of the map at extreme speed. Fisher's heart leaped slightly, turning his head to look in the direction of that massive white dot. Indeed, within the gloom outside the architecture, whistling sounds abruptly transmitted inward. Immediately following that, Teresa's voice suddenly rang out behind him,

"I've returned, Fisher."

"How is the situation over there?"

Fisher turned to look behind him. The Lamashtia avatar in Teresa's likeness was already standing there smiling. He hurriedly stood up and inquired with concern.

Lamashtia simply answered steadily,

"It's already resolved, safe and sound."

"What about the others, Raphaela, Jasmine, Valentina, and Alajina..."

"They are all fine. They all know you are unharmed. Moreover, that Raphaela is still waiting for you to bring back a pure soul from the Sea of Souls... Also, you still want to ask about Elizabeth, right?"

"So, how is she?"

"Merely lost her prosthetic eye and fell into a coma, influenced slightly by the Authority of Death. Her physical constitution afterward might be much weaker. However, you have already mastered the Usurping Life Chaos; mending her eyes completely for her after returning later is entirely doable."

Fisher heaved a sigh of relief. Yet at this time, Ramastia's voice transmitted again,

"However, you should know, you only passed your own hurdle, right? She was only rescued by you, but under the influence of the Authority of Death, she has absolutely no impression of what you did. Even if she does, it's probably extremely blurry. Given her pride, surviving despite losing the whole game right now, whether she's willing to accept your rescue and whether there's a definite future with you is still largely unknown."

Fisher's gaze rippled slightly. Yet at this moment, he merely said,

"I know."

Before the soul light governed by the Authority of Death, he saw Elizabeth's pain. That pain originally should have belonged to him, so he would save she, not just this once.

Ramastia smiled faintly, speaking no further.

And exactly at this moment, when Fisher seemingly shifted the topic and returned his gaze to the front, he only then abruptly discovered within the map provided by the Demi-Human Completion Handbook, the location where the Ramastia avatar stood was utterly empty, possessing not a single dot. Conversely, outside the architectural ruins, a massive white dot behind him was so eye-catching...

The avatar before his eyes was indeed fake. But the problem lay in that when he mistakenly thought he died just now, he had genuinely embraced Her.

At that time, Fisher was extremely certain his hands touched substance, even the scent upon Her body was exactly the same as the incense smell on Teresa in his memory.

What's going on here?

"Wait a minute, Ramastia..."

Not believing it, Fisher reached out to stop what Ramastia was about to say, and instead gently grabbed Ramastia's hand. Sure enough, the temperature transmitting from that warm, fair palm felt completely real.

Could it be the Demi-Human Completion Handbook doesn't display avatars?

"What, interested in the matter of deities' avatars?"

"Ah, it's just my intuition and the Demi-Human Completion Handbook are both telling me that your avatar before my eyes is illusory, not an existence of reality, yet I can both see and touch it..."

Ramastia smiled affectionately, suddenly speaking as if recalling something,

"Speaking of which, you have always only seen the avatar of 【Moon】, and haven't seen her main body."

"You mean Renee?"

"Yes, but we all call her that, and called her previous incarnation that as well, the so-called Mother Goddess. Her consciousness was only born after the Mythical War, and further underwent a very long period of confusion to synchronize with her authority. If we really count, the time she has walked in reality with a clear consciousness is only a few hundred years, which is considered very young and immature."

"Is that so..."

Fisher had seen quite a few deities. Deducing according to the stories beyond the Barrier Ramastia mentioned previously, They definitely all possessed extremely long years. Yet looking at Renee inversely, so she was actually only a few hundred years old if really counted?

Even Eliog who Fisher knew was older than her. No wonder she was still so immature in many aspects.

"And regarding avatars, your feeling is correct, Fisher. Actually, avatars aren't strictly real. To us, they are merely symbols of our will. But to the existences seeing Her, the avatar not only carries our will, but also carries our 【Trait】, that is, 【Authority】."

Ramastia smiled faintly, patiently explaining the concept of an avatar to Fisher. Under the illumination of that fluorescence, she looked just like Nun Teresa holding young Fisher and explaining the Scripture of Creation to him back in the day.

It was just that back then Fisher wore a look of impatience, merely looking at Teresa's side profile, hoping she would finish quickly; whereas now Fisher listened with rapt attention, not daring to look at Her at all, deeply afraid of mixing up the deity and that adoptive mother in his memory.

"Take me for example, when you see me it's in the appearance of your adoptive mother, and the speaking voice too. And Jasmine sees me as an infant, Xuan Can sees me as an old woman, Gou Wen sees me as a man, it's all the same. This isn't decided by me, but decided by my second authority; while your Renee, because her authority is Infinite, certain traits of Her avatar will present infinite traits. You've already witnessed those Heart Birds, right?"

"Second authority? Do avatars of deities possessing multiple authorities only display a single trait?"

As mentioned previously, Ramastia was a deity possessing two authorities, while the vast majority of the remaining deities only possessed one.

Then, for deities possessing multiple authorities, what characteristics did Their avatars have?

"Indeed. I'm not too clear regarding this, but my avatar only displays the trait of one authority. After all, avatars are existences of reality to you. Unseen to human eyes, when the will of a deity wants to display a form, it will also be accompanied by the trait that can best represent Her...

"Moreover, when utilizing an avatar, there's actually no distance limitation, and it also won't affect the rules of reality. Therefore, during the Mythical Era, I often used avatars to walk the mortal realm, personally experiencing the beauty of the world I created... It's just that later, because my children discovered it every time, them flying down to meet with me made me very distressed."

Thinking about it carefully, probably in the eyes of the species of the Mythical Era, before their eyes was clearly the appearance of a little girl, playing and chatting with them the previous second. They might even find her funny because of her appearance and speaking style, unable to resist mocking her with a few sentences.

As a result, the next second, the three most powerful Demigods in the world suddenly appeared beside Her. Just as they felt terror in their hearts and knelt before the Demigods, they discovered those three Demigods paid no attention to them at all, but rather knelt respectfully before that girl...

It seemed possessing a bit of a bizarre flavor.

Although the situation back then couldn't be like this, Fisher after all didn't care about Ramastia's situation back then. He merely cared more about Renee's matters.

He previously always felt Renee being relatively sensitive might be related to her body, but looking at it now this wasn't the case. What was sensitive was actually her consciousness and not her body?

But wanting to see her still required a Completion Handbook...

This matter just happened to be related to proper business.

Fisher looked at Ramastia before his eyes, asking Her,

"Now Heon and the other deities' plan to assassinate Dagon has failed, and all Their attachments within the Barrier have vanished aside from me. As long as you confirm no receptacles harboring Their power enter the Barrier again, can Their threat be temporarily eliminated?"

Ramastia shook Her head, smiling as She said,

"The situation beyond the Barrier is exceedingly complex; I don't have time to explain the details to you. I already took a huge risk returning this time to save you, otherwise your Renee wouldn't have been unable to even excuse herself. I originally planned to let you find Gou Wen. He understands the situation here very well, and you're old acquaintances, having him explain would be easier... But I didn't expect, the moment I informed him you came to the Spirit World, he enthusiastically and actively sought you out..."

Fisher paused slightly, and subsequently a layer of cold sweat began to break out on his forehead.

"It seems, even though so long has passed, he still values your friendship with him."

Ramastia teased in such a manner. While Fisher only felt that once he arrived he would knife him, definitely.

"..."

Having said all this, the Ramastia avatar in Teresa's likeness also prepared to stand up and leave. She glanced at the dimness outside, suddenly speaking unexpectedly,

"He seems to have almost arrived. Oh, he came really quickly."

Fisher massaged his brow with a headache, looking at the pitch-black Spirit World outside. For some unknown reason, he suddenly felt his heartbeat accelerating.

"Alright, I must return. I will inform your Renee of the news of your arrival in the Spirit World. I'm afraid she will also lose her patience and want to come see you. But with Gou Wen beside you, you should consider how to handle it..."

Fisher glanced at the Ramastia who smiled and turned illusory bit by bit. Clearly having just fought a bloody battle in reality and finally concluding it with great difficulty, why couldn't he rest for even a moment before reaching the situation of meeting his "good brother"?

If it was genuinely a reunion after a separation of ten thousand years, Fisher would probably genuinely beam with joy.

But the problem was, he had a somewhat ambiguous relationship with his daughter...

An even more critical issue was, back when he traveled alongside Helaire, all that flirting was done right in front of Gou Wen?!

Quibbling was useless, avoiding it was impossible. Fisher truly felt an increasing headache.

Little did he know at this moment, within the Crevice of reality, Emhart who was similarly facing Xuan Can was also sweating profusely.

"Then that's all. Let Gou Wen tell you the rest, we will meet again very soon later, Fisher..."

Ramastia's silhouette turned illusory bit by bit, vanishing completely very quickly. Outside the architecture, amidst the howling of some kind of shadow, it headed towards the deep space of the Spirit World.

Speechless, Fisher turned to look at the tabletop, only to abruptly discover a brand new golden Fluid Sword there. He didn't know when Ramastia left it.

Fisher raised his hand to pick it up. A golden fluid blade seemingly connected with his mind extended out, appearing exceptionally sharp.

It seemed Ramastia already knew he took his original Fluid Sword to patch David's Shelter, which was why She gifted him another one.

Speaking of David, he had now already entered the Spirit World. After resting for a moment he still had to continue considering the matter of the World-Ending Prophecy. When the time comes it will definitely involve Dream Illusion and the remaining Cardinal Completion Handbook. He would have the opportunity to help him find the Michael and Mikhail he had been searching for.

Gou Wen had been here for many years, and knew Mikhail. He would probably know clues; when the time comes he would know upon asking...

It's just that, before asking him about clues, Fisher probably had to...

"Fisher?! Where are you?"

Just as he lowered his head observing the brand new legendary golden Fluid Sword in his hand, from the expanse of darkness beyond this architectural ruin, a flustered and exasperated shout abruptly echoed. It caused a layer of dense, cold sweat to instantly appear on Fisher's forehead, unable to resist turning to look in the direction the sound came from.

"Come out!! I'm fighting you with my life!!"

"..."
