Chapter 679
In the heart of the flood damage, there was a realm where divine traces remained intact. And because of the strong divine essence lingering in the place, the demons called it the Sanctuary of the Demon God. But Davey noticed that Goddess Freyja’s power in Tionis felt different from the one he could sense in the Sanctuary of the Demon God, a place that gave off a sacred yet foreign feeling.
Davey was sure the sanctuary matched the image he saw from the revelation that Goddess Freyja had given him, back when he and Rinne explored the place where she woke up.
"Damn, I’m being played on the palm of her hand until the very end.”
It appeared that Goddess Freyja, who had said that fate could not be changed, had foreseen everything, including his arrival in the sanctuary. At this point, Davey didn’t know how he could prove her wrong, but entertaining such thoughts at the moment would just be foolishness.
"It's been a while,” Perserque murmured. She then jumped off his shoulder, shifted back to her real size and strolled ahead with her hands clasped behind her back.
"You might get lost," said Davey.
"I know this place too," Perserque replied.
The physical location of the Sanctuary of the Demon God had changed because of its separation from the continent of Tionis. Still, its interior remained the same.
"So? What do you want to do here?" Perserque asked.
While she knew that Davey had business in the sanctuary of the Demon God, she was still in the dark about the plan he had for her.
And so, Davey gently stroked her cheek, lightly kissed her forehead and finally admitted, "I'm going to make you go through Metamorphosis."
Perserque’s eyes widened as she replied, "Metamorphosis? That’s nonsensical... You don't mean..." She looked at Davey with a frown. "What in the world..."
"Everything I’ve done was for you.”
From his simple answer, Perserque seemed to have fully grasped what he had done and all the ridiculous lengths he went through just to bring her to the sanctuary.
"You're mad! Absolutely insane! You really thought you could elevate the level of your spirit by simply risking your life like that?! You shouldn’t have done that!"
Her outcry was understandably intense, because what Davey did involved breaking and surpassing the limitations of a species. It was not only the level of his power that surpassed human limits but also his physical body.
"What in the world... Why would you do such a thing?! What am I going to do if you were hurt?! What am I supposed to do then?!”
"I did it because I can. So, don't worry anymore. Besides, you said you wanted a child.."
Her eyes widened again upon hearing his remark.RêAd lateSt chapters at novelhall.com Only
"With your current artificial body, you can't bear a child... But if you undergo Metamorphosis to have a natural body, it would be possible. So let’s start by taking off what you're wearing."
Her eyes went wide once more.
"It's your favorite dress," Davey explained.
“We’re outside, and I’m supposed to take my clothes off?”
"Better than throwing them away.”
She sighed, seemingly deeming it pointless to argue now that things had progressed to this point. She surveyed their surroundings then held the hook of her garment to start undressing.
"Tell me something, Davey."
"Sure."
"Is the reason for my Metamorphosis really just for a child?"
Davey did not answer her question. Because despite being the most crucial being to the Abyss, he did not want to burden her.
[By my will.]
When he spoke, Davey’s voice sounded different from his usual one.
His power grew along with his spirit level, and this included the devil mana, the holy power, and his inherent mana. While the mana covertly glanced around before moving slowly, the devil mana instantly spread out to dominate the surrounding area. In contrast, the holy power continued to do nothing but be idle like usual. This made Davey think about whether he should really take a whole day to teach the holy power a lesson so that it could go for a round with the other kinds of power.
"The others are all moving. Are you slacking off again?"
Even the power of Versha, who was one of the Princesses of the Abyss, and the demonic force of a Demon King moved in response to Davey’s will, but the holy power continued to laze around. Perhaps the saying, "Even a dog becomes a lion in its own house," was true. Though this land belonged to the demons, Goddess Freyja's power filled the sanctuary. And that could be why the holy power acted pompously and lazily like Goddess Freyja even though she was not its source. Thus, there was only one answer to teach such lazy bums a lesson.
Shh...
Davey summoned the spreading mana and poured it directly onto the unmoving holy power.
Woong!!!!
There was a loud reverberating sound and a strong chemical reaction. In other words, the mana began to drag holy power out and put it to work.. Though the holy power resisted, it was clear what would happen.
Davey shook his head and dissed Saintess Daphne, the original owner of the holy power, saying, "Sigh. The holy power is just as troubled as its owner,”
If she heard such a comment from Davey...
[That's because you’re stupid, you damn stupid shit... What? You want me to beat the shit out of you? I'll freakin’ rip you apart.]
Daphne was infamous for having a short fuse and turning half of her sentences into profanities when angry, yet her power was so lethargic and lazy.
Eventually, the holy power also began to move. Davey then amplified the amount of mana around him using spirit mana and qi, and replicated the magic circle he had created with Princess Davey from the dream-like world. But this time, he had to do it alone.
That was why he and Princess Davey had kept that in mind when they designed the magic circle..
Perserque began to float, and blue light gathered around her. It then seeped into her as Davey slowly lifted his hands to control the power.
Boom!!!
A massive backlash was felt. If the level of his spirit reached only the highest tier for humans, his consciousness would have been shredded by the psychic wave. But Davey was already at the level of a demigod, so he could endure the backlash as he used the power granted to him as a demigod.
Davey officially began to interfere with the rules of the world, modifying the ones that specifically dictated how Perserque’s body operated. This Metamorphosis was an artificial one, rather than natural. On top of that, it was different from a typical Metamorphosis in many ways because it involved modifying someone else’s body.
[250 Metamorphosis stacks have been consumed. Proceeding with the physical evolution of the target.]
Davey lost all the Metamorphosis Stacks that he had accumulated diligently, but it did not matter. Because the result was a definitive power-up, regardless of whether it was Perserque’s body or spirit that evolved.. With his spirit, which had recently reached the level of a demigod, Davey started to infuse her with his power and mana, making her body stronger and more energetic. And during all of this, Davey remembered her wish. That was why he playfully cast a promise on her body.
"If she conceives Davey O’Rowane’s first child, that child, according to her wish...”
Davey was working with the hope that the child would be born as she wished, but at that moment...
Crack!!!
Something went wrong.
"What?"
He tried adjusting the mana flow here and there, thinking there might be a problem with the wording he had inscribed with his will. But the words "first child" were the only part of the mana flow that was causing problems. And that meant that in this world, his first child already existed.
"..."
Davey’s face grew serious.
