Chapter 229: Yuri's gamble

Alchemic Shapeshifting!

The sheep's body transformed, slowly, into a Sheep Woman. Its body was similar to Yuri at the very molecular level. But its appearance was wildly different—it was a Sheep Woman after all. A completely different species.

"Your molecular structure is so weird, so chaotic," Mark said. "You resemble a human and a demon at the same time. A true hybrid—a Hunter."

Yuri perked up in interest.

She said: "Yeah, when I was in the Hunter World, my genetic structure was like that."

"Yet," he said. "There is a sort of perfect harmony to you. You are more like a new race, too, in a sense. More than a hybrid, yes, it would be better to say you are a Hunter World special race."

"I see… that's a new perspective."

The Sheep Woman that Mark had transformed using Yuri's molecular structure in mind now also shared a completely similar inner working to Yuri. The creature was a Hunter without any Hunter Ability.

If Mark couldn't use Dream Input to memorize the molecular aspects of it, he would have never been able to do something like this.

Next, he took a small vial of golden Heart Blood. This one didn't contain any Will of the World—it had already exploded inside a sheep once. This was recollected afterwards.

The last time he made someone drink this type of World Will-less Heart Blood, they had grown stronger physically and mentally without becoming a Savage.

He made the Sheep Woman drink it and she growled as her body began to grow stronger.

She didn't become a Savage but her body transformed to equal a B-rank Hunter in strength.

With his super powerful Soul Sense, Mark watched the process in detail this time. How did the Sheep Woman become stronger by drinking the Heart Blood? Can he replicate this type of Heart Blood with his Alchemic Shapeshifting?

He had a feeling it was possible.

A physical body, no matter what kind, is made up of molecules aligned in a unique structure. When the sheep drank the blood, its inner molecular structure remained unchanged but the total amount of molecules inside it began to increase.

That made it stronger.

Then, that means the golden Heart Blood was a bunch of neutral molecules. It could be assimilated into anything to make anything stronger.

Mark's Alchemic Shapeshifting could transform any type of molecular structure into any other. That was how it changed the shape of everything.

And this kind of Heart Blood without the presence of World Will wasn't hard to copy. He should be able to create a river of it by himself.

That made Mark's heart skip a beat.

Even Golden Savages couldn't grow stronger than Tier 2 no matter how much Heart Blood they had, so it wouldn't really be helpful to people beyond Tier 2 but he could easily create armies of Tier 2 people with this kind of Heart Blood.

I should create a small river of it in the Savage Island later.

Then, another thought made his heart leap.

Even the Armor pieces that were in his hand were made up of molecules—what if he assimilated its molecules into his own body?

Then, that Armor would become part of himself intrinsically.

Will that make his Mask of the Savage Trait improve to Armor of the Savage?

I am not sure at all but… if the Armor is still in this World, I should try and discuss it if possible. Again, why do I feel my instincts are much sharper nowadays?

Was that somehow due to him eating the Avatar of a World Will?

For now, he put those thoughts to the back of his mind and focused on turning Yuri into a Golden Savage.

Now, the Sheep Woman was a doppelganger of Yuri that looked only somewhat different to her. If Yuri said that didn't make her uncomfortable, that would be a lie.

Nobody liked seeing a copy of themselves.

"Its soul isn't made of molecules," Mark said. "And your soul is unique only to you—I think even I won't be able to copy the soul any time soon. If ever."

She nodded.

Mark made some golden Heart Blood out of thin air and made the Sheep Woman drink more of it. Yuri was a bit surprised, but seemed delighted a second later.

Having a lot of that golden blood meant she could see it as science experiment material from now on.

Soon, the Sheep Woman was a Pinnacle Tier 2 creature. Equal to an A-rank pinnacle Hunter. Of course, it only had that level of stats and no unique powers.

Mark squatted down and stared at the woman. Pale skin, feminine, sheep-like horns on her head, and curly silver hair. It was quite to his type. Especially because it resembled Yuri.

Unfortunately, after having Alchemic Shapeshifting used on it so many times, its mind was broken.

If you survive this, I will give you a place to live happily in my World.

"Now she and I are very similar," Yuri said. "Now, transform it into a Savage World human."

Mark did exactly that and transformed the Sheep's molecular structure to completely match a Savage World human. She was no longer a Hunter but a human of the Savage World who had grown a bit stronger by integrating some neutral molecules into her.

The woman was in pain but her mind was just that of a sheep, so she gave up and fell unconscious.

"Now, if we think that sheep was me," Yuri said. "It means I have been transformed into a human of Savage World design. Next, give it the Heart Blood that contains the World Will."

Taking a vial with nimble hands, Mark poured down the blood into the woman's soft lips. She began writhe and transform. A mask grew over her face, then, the mask retreated into her forehead and she became a Golden Savage.

Mark awaited an explosion, ready to send the woman teleporting away. But it didn't come—she was safe. And she was a Golden Savage.

Yuri smiled. "Now, I am almost sure nothing would happen to me if I drink the Heart Blood after becoming a human of this world's design."

Mark looked at her, still reluctant to try.

He asked: "What if your Hunter Abilities interfered and the World Will that will enter inside you exploded?"

Reol'ran's voice pitched in from the sky: "Don't worry. Abilities are stored inside her Mental scape, it won't interfere with this." Sёarch* The nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"I guess, now I am almost 100% sure it's safe." Yuri rubbed her nose. "Now, we just need to know how to get rid of that World Will after it gets inside my head."

Reol'ran said calmly, "That's easy. A simple piece of a World Will cannot survive outside its own World. When you leave this World and enter through the barrier of another World, it will dissolve on its own."

"Now, we have nothing stopping us," Yuri said with a shrug and a smile. "Should I come out of your World Space?"

Mark gloomily agreed. It was just 'slightly' dangerous at this point and not really a big danger. But he didn't like that very much.

He needed guarantees.

With a quick breath, he opened his eyes in the real World. Sitting on the crown of a tall tree, wind bashing against his face.

A woman fell on his lap out of nowhere.

She looked into his eyes, removing and throwing away the spectacles on her face.

Doing the process outside was safer—if anything happened, Mark's real body could do much more than the soul inside his World Space.

He touched ber face and she gritted her teeth. Her body began to transform from the very molecular level. She has become a Hunter with the helo of the Hunter World, but now, she was returning to being human.

But she was no normal human—she still had the Hunter Ability.

The pain was so intense, her tears broke out and she wrapped her hands around Mark's neck while sobbing. But the pain was good, it would make her stronger.

After it was done in one hell of a minute foe her, she just kept kissing his face, crying. He soothed her with his caress.

"Feed me, babe," Yuri said, wiping her tears with his shirt. "You are not the only one who takes risks."

"It's painful," he said. "You can cry a bit more."

After a while, she grew calmer.

"Now," she said.

Mark gloomily took a vial of Heart Blood and drowned it into his own mouth. Then, he made his lips meet her soft and supple ones and she savoured the kiss with her tongue.

The warm Heart Blood dripped into her mouth and her throat bobbed as she drank it. His hand tightly held her waist.

She greedily sucked at his tongue.

Suddenly, Mark felt panic.

What if it failed?

If it looks like it might fail, he decided to immediately use Clown's Circus.

Yuri's body began to transform. She growled as a mask appeared on her face. She gritted her teeth as the mask vanished and her hair color and eyes changed.

Her short, curly hair that was a mix of red and black due to hair coloring became a pure gold. Her fair forehead gained a slit in the middle. Her pupils became yellow and piercing.

Mark felt his heart thump.

The clouds above him seemed to churn, thunder violently rumbled in the distance. A storm was coming.

Yuri pulled his face closer to hers and gave him a kiss that lasted—in total—for ten minutes. She was wild, unrestrained.

Breathless, she chuckled as she let go.

"I told you it was safe," she said. "But my body didn't grow much stronger—I gained that Savage Mask trait, though, right?"

Mark squeezed her face with his two hands. Now, he had to leave this World and quickly remove the World Will inside her.

Anyway.

She had succeded.
