“Are you only interested in my blood? I don’t think that’s a big problem.”
Lilith replied respectfully; then, she reached into her chest and pulled a throbbing black heart with her right hand. “The heart is a blood-gathering organ. Master, please accept my heart.”
Everyone in the hall cringed when they saw they take her heart out with her bare hands. Lilith, who had lost her heart, appeared pale. She did not seem to mind. Instead, her eyes burned with a flame. It was as if she felt honored to give her heart to Watson.
“You did well, Lilith. If I fuse something good later, I will let you use it first.”
Watson was concerned with Lilith’s action as well, but he remembered that Lilith was a Hell Baron with a bodily composition that differed from a human; that might not have been an issue for her. So, he did not hesitate. “If you do not mind, Lilith, may I utilize your bone marrow as well?”
“Of course, Master.”
Lilith agreed to his request. She reached into the hole in her chest and pulled a broken spine. Black blood dripped from her chest and landed on the ground, corroding the hard platinum-tier metal floor as white smoke rose. Everyone there was shocked.
Watson took the bleeding spine from Lilith. “Is there anything else you require, Master?”
“Not for the time being.”
The wound on Lilith’s chest squirmed as her flesh and blood merged. The wound healed; she was as good as new. No one could tell that she had been injured before that, except for the black blood on the ground. Watson nodded; he had made the right choice.
The Spring of Life was an excellent balance for her immaculate self-healing capacity.
“System fusion, activate.”
Watson activated the system and fused Lilith’s spine and heart as he held them in his hands. A speck of black blood appeared—black and pure, like the abyss’s stare; it could attract all light.
[Congratulations, Master, for successfully fusing and obtaining an advanced version of Devil’s Blood.]
[Diamond-tier Special Item: Devil’s blood.]
[Effects: retains all of Devil’s Blood’s abilities, including the capacity to self-heal, pollute, and turn into a demon.]
[Additional effects: after consuming the Devil’s Blood, there is a 100% success rate in evolving into a demon. All attributes will be increased, and you will obtain a racial talent—Absolute Calmness. You will not be affected by violent emotional fluctuations. You will always remain rational and will not feel any pain.]
[Additional skill: Devil’s Blood Boiling (an advanced version of the Devil’s Blood Boiling Skill). It will multiply and cover other objects, giving them simple intelligence to control the host. Furthermore, the controlled entity will have a strength not inferior to that of a diamond-tier elite.]
Watson’s eyes glowed as he read the detailed information about the black blood. As he sized it up, his father, Edward, who was the closest to him, suddenly had a layer of psychedelic color in his eyes. He muttered some unknown ravings as he subconsciously walked toward the Devil’s Blood. He wanted to reach out and touch it.
“Be careful, Father. The blood is extremely hazardous. It might swallow you if you touched it.”
Watson grabbed Edward’s hand in time; his father sobered at that moment.
Edward, who had recovered, had a layer of cold sweat on his forehead. He took two steps backward in fear. “What happened? I heard a mysterious summoning from that drop of blood. It told me to fuse with it. Am I hallucinating?”
“Father, I don’t believe that was an illusion because we heard a similar sound as well! After all, Watson was the one who fused it. Let’s be more careful.”
Watson’s siblings retreated with strange expressions on their faces. Every time Watson used the system fusion, he would fuse something surprising. That was not an exception. They needed to find a safe place so that they would not be affected.
Even the other guests retreated; they followed Anna and Ron’s lead. Hundreds of square meters on the entire hall were empty.
“You’d better retreat a little further.”
Watson was also a little nervous. After all, he was holding two types of diamond-tier liquid in his hands. Who knew what would happen if they were fused? Perhaps an unexpected situation like the previous fusion would occur.
The Devil’s Blood was a diamond-tier item, and it already had an excellent effect. He would drink it there and then if he did not need to remove the Spring of Life’s side effect. However, he kept his desire in check. He turned his gaze away from the blood and activated the fusion system.
“System fusion, activate.”
[Congratulations, Master, for a successful fusion. You have obtained a peak diamond-tier special item, the Blessing of the Gods and Demons.]
The Devil’s Blood turned into black light when Watson activated the fusion system. The Spring of Life water splashed from the frozen bottle; it turned into a green light that collided with the black light.
Green and black, life and destruction had collided. Faint scenes from ancient times appeared on the light’s surface. Angels held long spears made of tree branches that pierced through the stars, and they were facing numerous demons with scales and horns as their bodies burned with flames. Wherever they passed, the ground was scorched.
Those images appeared only for an instant. The two lights had fused; they turned into a thumb-sized, round, black-and-green bead. At times, the Black Rose appeared, and at other times, the Green Rose. They changed constantly. When the Black Rose appeared, a demonic roar came from within the bead, and when it was the Green Rose, an angel’s low voice was heard from the same bead.
[The Blessing of the Gods and Demons]
[When consumed, there is a 50 percent chance of receiving the gods’ blessing to obtain eternal life with no side effects, and the body will evolve into a mythical creature. There is also a 50 percent chance of receiving the demons’ blessing to obtain eternal life and evolve into a demon.]
[Additional effects: soak the bead in water, and the water will have the same effect. However, the success rate will be reduced to 5%. Whether directly or indirectly consumed, only the first time will have an effect.]
Watson could feel the holy and evil energy entering his body; both were completely different. No matter which, that energy was extremely powerful. Even though he was at platinum tier, he still trembled.
“If I eat it, the Blessing of Gods and Demons would either wake a mythical creature or a demon. But it’s only one or the other. And if I eat it, I’ll lose the bead. However, if I were to soak it in water, everyone in the entire Mount Creation could use it. About five out of a hundred people would be able to use it successfully. It looks like that is more beneficial.”
“Lilith, according to our agreement, this peak diamond-tier item is now yours.”
It looked like it was a good idea to soak the newly fused bead in the water. It could allow more people to evolve their forms and obtain eternal life. However, Watson did not plan to do so because they were only supposed to take it once in their lifetime. He did not want more people to gain eternal life; he wanted everyone to have it.
Lilith’s expression was filled with disbelief when she received the bead that Watson had thrown at her. That was a top-tier jewel; it was a priceless treasure, but Watson had thrown it at her so casually. He said that he would offer it to her, but she had not taken him seriously.
As a slave, it was her duty to serve her master. She would not ask for anything in return. On the contrary, Watson’s actions had exceeded the scope of what a master should do. She was thankful for that.
“This is a peak diamond-tier item. Even though Mount Creation can already produce diamond-tier items, a peak diamond-tier item is still a first!”
Everyone in the hall was envious; some even hated her, especially Anna, whose lips twitched. She had given the Spring of Life to Watson so that he could fuse it and give some to her after that. She did not expect him to give it to Lilith after the fusion. Her heart ached, but she did not say anything.
“Lilith, what are you waiting for? Why didn’t you eat it? I can give it to someone else if you don’t want it.” Watson smiled at Lilith and urged her; he ignored the other people around him.
Lilith snapped back to her senses, and her expression became more excited. She raised the bead in her trembling hand and said, “Yes, Master.” Then she put the bead in her mouth.
Lilith closed her eyes the moment the gods’ blessing entered her body.
Swoosh!
There was a sound as half of her body turned white and the other turned black. The light transformed into mysterious patterns that spread along her skin; it looked like cracka on the surface of an object. Her strong heartbeat shook the entire hall as if some kind of a terrifying monster had developed in her body.
