Chapter 716: Whale and Witch
Emhart always felt that since returning to the past with Fisher, his luck had been very bad. Thinking about it carefully, before returning to the past he was caught by Renee, and after returning to ten thousand years ago he was caught by the Angels again. Although staying by Angel Gabriel's side felt pretty good...
But after coming back?
He obviously almost saw Fisher being "carved up" by Raphaela and Jasmine, yet it was surprisingly dissolved silently by him. And later he was even casually toyed with and sent flying by that thousand-cuts-deserving Baimon. It wasn't until later going to Saint-Nazareth that he was forced by Elizabeth to separate from Fisher, staying with that little brat every day.
And now?
Now it was even worse. He originally thought this dominant existence Renee wouldn't return for a very long period of time, so he temporarily defected to Xuan Can and Jasmine's side to find amusement... Great now, being caught and violently beaten up by the rightful owner Renee again. This was truly unbeautiful...
Emhart, staying in Fisher's embrace, pondered bitterly. He carefully stretched out a head. Looking at Renee humming a song and leaning by the deck's guardrail beside them, he said to himself that mingling with Renee still had brighter prospects.
Seemingly detecting Emhart's gaze, Renee turned her head smilingly to look at him, scaring him into shrinking back into Fisher's embrace again.
Renee didn't pay attention to this unlucky coward. Instead, she looked towards the dazzlingly resplendent Sea of Souls in the deep space far away in the Spirit World. Close to reality and the Crevice here, the Sea of Souls looked exceptionally remote, as insignificant as standing on land looking up at the galaxy.
But the Sea of Souls wasn't as massive as a galaxy, and the distance certainly couldn't compare to the distance from a galaxy to the earth. It was merely still relatively remote.
Every time he looked at that tangible Sea of Souls, Fisher could always feel a call originating from inside his body. This profound and mysterious feeling made him uncontrollably want to approach there, to gaze at there.Renee didn't have a similar feeling like him. She merely stroked her chin and muttered doubtfully,
"Strange..."
Fisher turned his head to look at her, asking doubtfully,
"What's wrong?"
"The Stars are all gone. I didn't see their figures in the Sea of Souls. Moreover, the Spirit World pollution unexpectedly seems to be frightened into retreating, getting further and further away from the Sea of Souls."
Indeed. Looking from here, the light of the Sea of Souls was even brighter than what Fisher saw when by Ramastia's side earlier. This indicated that the scarlet pollution surrounding the Sea of Spirit World was retreating.
He thought of something and said to Renee,
"It's Elizabeth. When she cooperated with the Outer Gods, the Outer Gods told her the method to expel the Spirit World pollution, so that she could remain safe and sound after the Crevice broke down. When she failed earlier, she told this method to us, as the condition to make the Chaos-kins entering reality retreat."
"If that's the case, then it makes sense how they went to Hamon Hamon's base..."
The massive Cardinal Warship quickly returned to the vicinity of the island Gou Wen resided on along the darkness of the Spirit World. Leading Renee and David, Fisher boarded Gou Wen's small boat and returned to the island. Thankfully when returning this time, that group of "warblers and swallows" weren't seen. Who knew where they went.
Lady Bojiang was still sleeping. Listening to the commotion outside, Gou Wen, hugging several large boxes, also walked out from the woods. Seeing David following behind Fisher, his expression was somewhat entranced,
"You..."
"This is David. You should have heard of this name; David, this is Gou Wen, Mikhail's friend."
"Hello, Mr. Gou Wen."
Gou Wen opened his mouth. Pausing slightly, only then did he throw the box containing some heavy object he was holding in his hand onto the ground. Looking at David, he said,
"It'd be strange if his name wasn't David. All of Mikhail and Michael's Artificial Intelligences were named David. The only difference was adding a serial number behind the name. The one remaining in reality is David Zero, the one left for the Creation Society is David One. The numbers behind have over a dozen. Which one are you?"
That face of David's, which was no different from an Angel, titled slightly. He merely said,
"David is David. There is no serial number behind my name."
"..." Gou Wen raised his eyebrows, carefully measuring the David before his eyes over once again. Only then did he mutter, "It's indeed possible they built other models, and you are indeed the most special David I've seen... The rest of the Davids aren't like you, possessing an appearance similar yet different to Michael. All of them stayed in the network, conversing with outsiders through different models of Cardinals. You look very exquisite, and definitely had a lot of their effort poured in."
"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Gou Wen. I also feel extremely proud towards the appearance Daddy and Mommy bestowed upon me."
"...This can hardly be considered a compliment, especially for Michael and Mikhail. But for you, it might be."
Gou Wen smiled profoundly. While Renee twitched her nose, seemingly smelling some foul odor, hurriedly covering her mouth and nose. Pointing at the box Gou Wen placed on the ground, she asked,
"What is this? So stinky..."
Actually Fisher's attention had been placed on that box since Gou Wen walked out. He already possessed many kinds of Completion Manuals on his body, having unimaginable sensitivity towards the chaotic power of the opposing Outer Gods. Thus he quickly realized that what transmitted from this box was exactly a Chaos he had never encountered before.
"Chaos?"
Fisher squatted beside the box, looking at Gou Wen. He nodded. Putting on a pair of white gloves used for experiments, he also squatted on the other side of the box, saying,
"Didn't I say earlier that the Chaos of Hamon Hamon triggered a catastrophe thousands of years ago? An Alienation Virus capable of infecting all matter. What's contained inside this box is exactly the Alienation Virus sample I collected thousands of years ago, preserved until now."
Renee warily floated up and sat behind Fisher's back. She liked doing this very much. Obviously not attaching the slightest bit of body weight onto Fisher's body, apart from a抹 of her dense faint fragrance, Fisher could barely feel her movement of sitting.
Fisher's eyes couldn't help but move slightly upwards, but he could only see the appearance of her fair fingers and the thighs shrouded by the black skirt placed on his shoulders.
Only unfortunately, Renee's avatar couldn't do anything, because she was truly too shy. If shy to a certain extent, she would directly vanish... Fisher estimated that kissing was probably already the limit, unless Fisher could lower her degree of shyness regarding this aspect.
How to lower it?
Do it frequently.
Fisher withdrew his gaze, still placing his attention on the box before his eyes to avoid being influenced by this bad woman,
"The intensity of this Chaos, it feels very strange. I can only faintly feel His formidable aspect, even only second to the Spirit World pollution..."
"Mhm." Gou Wen nodded and said, "I said earlier, Hamon Hamon's power intensity is second only to Dream Illusion. During the Mythic War, if He hadn't been locked down within that Angel's Shelter, it probably would have evolved into an even more terrifying disaster. But don't worry, when I preserved it, He still possessed activity. When I took it out earlier, I had already inspected it, the activity of the thing inside has already vanished."
Following Gou Wen's introduction, he slowly opened the box on the ground. A thing wrapped by some translucent material, resembling some creature's head, appeared in Fisher's eyes.
That thing should be a head, because that lifeless thing additionally had several pairs of torn facial features straddling it askew, looking like a face had been torn apart, becoming countless densely packed faces stacked together; but Fisher also felt that thing didn't look like a head, because whether in material or shape it made him feel it couldn't correspond to any demi-human's head. It looked more like a piece of...
"Stone?"
Renee tapped her lips, being the first to state that answer.
Fisher frowned, looking at Gou Wen before his eyes. And Gou Wen also nodded, recognizing the answer stated by Renee,
"Correct, this is precisely a piece of stone, a stone infected by Hamon Hamon's Alienation Virus. The instant it was affected by his power, this piece of stone lost its original nature, turning into a monster covered with flesh and facial features. I created a substance possessing special properties to wrap it. No matter how it transforms, it will not become a carrier for the Alienation Virus, so that's how it could be preserved."
"...It looks like after experiencing such a long period of time, the Alienation Virus has also lost its activity?"
"No, exactly the opposite..."
Facing Fisher's question, Gou Wen's fingers were placed on the bizarre substance created by his Blessing wrapping that "stone head". That substance then cracked open bit by bit, revealing the true body of the head within.
A sensation that gave Fisher extreme chills surged into his heart. He looked at that head vigilantly, watching helplessly as after losing the wrapping of Gou Wen's substance, the air that first came into contact with that head began Alienation.
The originally formless air sealed away by the island's protective shield instantly became heavy, congealing in mid-air into drops of gorgeously-colored liquid. While the liquid dripped downwards, it also became an even more resplendent, glowing solid, connecting with the head below.
If the air contacting the head was already like this, let alone the head itself. Only to see that stone head itself also began Alienation, transforming from organic matter covered with flesh and facial features towards the direction of some ore. Transforming and transforming, it then turned into some pink wood. Twisted blue branches grew out of the wood, and the branches wrapped around the air beside it to alienate, turning into liquid-like emerald green leaves.
The leaves swayed slightly, surprisingly being alienated into wings of green butterflies one by one. Amidst Fisher's astounded gaze, those butterflies were about to flap their wings and fly. Fortunately, Gou Wen in a fraction of a second covered it with the translucent substance originally wrapping underneath again, wrapping up this bizarre giant tree transformed from the head. Only then did it stop its further Alienation.
In just a few short seconds, Fisher watched helplessly as that head, which was only about the size of three fists, doubled in size, turning into a bizarre and resplendent ore tree. Above it were additionally countless green butterflies about to fly...
"This is..."
"This is exactly the Alienation Virus. Back then it was exactly this kind of thing that completely destroyed the Angels, making their final remnants in the Mythic War completely perish. I've seen with my own eyes Angels being turned into statues, being turned into monsters, being turned into indistinguishable things by this Alienation Virus. But Fisher, this Alienation Virus you see now, compared to a thousand years ago...
"Already possesses no lethality."
Renee also curiously looked at that substance transformed into a gorgeously-colored tree, saying to Fisher,
"He's right. The Alienation Virus from a thousand years ago couldn't possibly be like this, performing magic tricks just to display His wondrousness. From the monster that stone turned into, you should know that when the Alienation Virus from back then took effect, it would always have significant aggressiveness. But now, this transformed stone has none, instead turning into something like a work of art..."
Fisher didn't know what the specific appearance of the Alienation Virus from a thousand years ago was, but from the description, Hamon Hamon from a thousand years ago should be no different from other Outer Gods. And at this moment, he also heard the implied meaning in Gou Wen's words.
He glanced at Gou Wen, asking,
"You mean, Hamon Hamon might have really undergone some kind of change? The benign kind?"
"I didn't say that. But at least its change isn't uncontrollable like a thousand years ago. That is to say, right now there is a piece of good news and a piece of bad news."
Renee raised her hand, asking first,
"Listen to the good news first."
"The good news is, Hamon Hamon's change isn't only known by us. The rest of the Chaos-kins seem to have also noticed this point. Just now Lady Bojiang told me that many Chaos-kins passed by here, and their destination is all Hamon Hamon's base. Moreover, there are also quite a few Chaos-kins coming out from there. At least it can be confirmed that many living creatures have gathered there safely.
"According to the inquiries of Lady Bojiang, that group of Chaos-kins truly saw living Angels there, and more than one."
David's ceramic-like palm slowly clenched tight. He said again,
"Mr. Fisher, can this be considered that we have the conditions to head there?"
Fisher didn't answer, merely continuing to ask,
"The good news is finished, what about the bad news?"
"The bad news is..."
Gou Wen sighed. Just as he was about to speak, Fisher suddenly felt a bit of chill transmitting from behind. Before he could turn his head around, a dream-like cold muttering sounded,
"Teacher Fisher... Why does this older sister... look a bit familiar?"
Fisher paused slightly, his hairs almost standing on end. Before he had any other movements, Renee beside him already raised her eyebrows a step earlier and turned her head around.
"Oh?"
Only to see that right behind the backs of the group of Fisher, the expressionless Xuan Can had brought Jasmine, who was wrapped within a layer of azure blue light, over here at some unknown time. Jasmine's expression was entrances, suddenly thinking of the words spoken to her by the kasaya-wearing "Teacher Fisher" earlier.
"If he talks to other women again, just beat him to death!"
Her lips trembled, and the slender whale tail behind her also swayed. This made Renee's eyes uncontrollably sway along with the whale tail behind her,
"Ah, I remember now. We did indeed meet once... several years ago, inside Saint-Nazareth University."
"Saint-Nazareth University..."
Right. Jasmine paused slightly, her small head recalling the things that happened back then.
She still remembered that at that time she and Teacher Fisher still weren't familiar. She followed Isabelle and Milika to participate in the festival of the Gothrin Festival. And then at that time... Elizabeth brought Teacher Fisher over, and right there they met this older sister who self-proclaimed to be "Teacher Fisher's good friend"!
Seemingly this older sister also engaged in a fierce battle with Elizabeth at that time. Jasmine didn't remember very clearly. She always felt this part of her memory was particularly blurry...
Because at that time...
What was she doing at that time?
She seemed to be eating cake!
"You are that Holy Maiden of Kadu?!"
Jasmine finally realized after the fact and raised her hand, but her small head couldn't wrap around at once,
"But... why would the Holy Maiden of Kadu be in the Spirit World? And also..."
"Pfft!"
Before Jasmine's words were even finished, Renee covered her mouth and laughed. That smile was gentle and mild, like an older sister being amused by Jasmine's actions. It was just that Fisher understood Renee. Generally speaking, the more her surface was like this, the more bad water was accumulated in her heart.
Dumbfounded, Jasmine opened her mouth, asking doubtfully,
"What... what are you laughing at?"
"Sorry, sorry. I just didn't expect you to know nothing at all... My my, could it be Fisher hasn't said a single word about my matters to you? Or, he told everyone else, but solely didn't tell you?"
"Ah?"
Jasmine was instantly dumbfounded. Let alone even Elizabeth wasn't Renee's opponent, even Alajina who was defeated completely under Renee's hands wasn't an opponent for Jasmine ah!
She was just an amiable little whale. When had she ever seen this scene? She was instantly blocked by Renee's words, surprisingly really starting to suspect whether Teacher Fisher had told this matter to all the other women, and solely forgot about herself?
"Te- Teacher Fisher..."
Helplessly, Xuan Can reached out her hand to pull little Jasmine back to her side, bearing quite a feeling of "don't look at bad reviews". However, the gaze she directed at Renee and even Fisher wasn't considered friendly either. Especially since Fisher's body also carried the dense aura of that lunatic.
At this moment, Fisher, who was squatting in front of that wooden box, was sweating on his forehead. Sweating for a moment, he gnashed his teeth looking at Gou Wen before his eyes and asked,
"This is the bad news you were talking about?"
With a dark face, Gou Wen looked at Fisher before his eyes, feeling both vindicated and gloomy,
"Crazy, this is your bad news, my good news, not our bad news."
"..."
Fisher was speechless. He didn't know Jasmine surprisingly arrived so quickly. The difference in time flow between the Spirit World and reality made him misjudge. And to think he still felt rejoiced when hearing Duke Tao's voice during the phone call earlier.
Great now, the boomerang directly hit back. The parents of Jasmine were both right here. And as someone possessing a not-shallow relationship with Jasmine, he was bringing an offensively eager-to-try Witch by his side right now...
This was truly far too wonderful!
He couldn't wait to just slaughter his way to Hamon Hamon's place by himself right now alone, disregarding whatever 3 times 7 equals 21. It didn't matter even if it was a trap, it was always better than staying here feeling happy.
But amusement wouldn't disappear, it would only transfer.
Just like when Emhart was tortured by Renee, Fisher almost laughed out loud. Now it was his turn to suffer. Emhart hiding in his embrace snickered and poked his head out, looking at Xuan Can bringing along Jasmine behind them as if seeing a savior...
The time for my, Emhart's, luck to change is almost here!
Previously in the Dragon Court, the deep sisterly affection between Jasmine and Raphaela didn't let Emhart, who meticulously planned surprises, taste amusement. Now...
Fisher, you guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, finally got your retribution in this very life!
Please vote, tip, and support. This is extremely important to me!
Thank you immensely for your support!
