After being swallowed by that heavy coldness, Gwyn lost consciousness in an instant.
After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly awoke in a pitch-black world.
Opening his eyes, a familiar glimmer flashed before him, and Gwyn breathed a sigh of relief— The previous times, he had been stabbed to death directly.
Although this time it counted as dying from his illness, that coldness that took him away also made Gwyn worry about whether he might have had some accident due to coming into contact with Castorice and being affected by the death power on her.
But it seemed everything was normal now; the reliability of his cheat was still there.
This was the “settlement point” after he finished his journey in Amphoreus.
Arriving here after death would settle the gains from every time he entered Amphoreus.
Without hesitation, Gwyn fixed his gaze on that cluster of glimmering light ahead, wanting to see what he had gained this time— “Before, in Amphoreus, even if I just died at the speed of light, I still accumulated quite a bit of Golden Blood progress because of the Chrysos Heirs’ blood splashed on me.
Although I only lived half a day longer this time, I managed to counsel Castorice and received Golden Blood from what could be called the most special of the Chrysos Heirs.
That should make the Golden Blood progress jump up quite a bit, right?” As Gwyn spoke to himself in his mind, lines of text and progress bars appeared before his eyes, and his gaze was instantly drawn to the familiar words in the first line— Golden Blood: 198% “198%??!!” Seeing this completely unexpected data, Gwyn almost cried out in surprise and couldn’t help but reveal a brilliant smile— “Little Butterfly, oh Little Butterfly, you really are my lucky goddess!” The Golden Blood progress was maxed out.
As long as it was activated, as a low-quality imitation product of the Calamity-Extinguishing Golden Blood, it would be able to give Gwyn basic adaptability to Imaginary Energy.
As a variant of Imaginary Energy, without continued external injection, the erosion symptoms of Honkai Energy remaining in the body should be solvable.
“Hoo… calm down, calm down!
This time it was lucky to have met Little Butterfly; it’s all Little Butterfly’s credit!” Rubbing his face hard to calm himself down, Gwyn didn’t hesitate at all.
He mentally clicked on the maxed-out Golden Blood progress bar before his eyes and tried to issue a command— “Redeem!
Extract!
Fuse!” The next moment, a confirmation prompt popped up: “Do you confirm that you want to extract Golden Blood lv2 and fuse it into your body?” “Confirm!” Gwyn confirmed without hesitation.
The next moment, the Golden Blood at the top, which had reached a total progress of 263%, flashed and changed to “Golden Blood lv2—63%”.
“Sure enough, progress exceeding 100% is not useless, but can be upgraded… It makes sense.
Even though they all have simulated Golden Blood, there are differences in strength among the Chrysos Heirs.
Powerful ones like Phainon and Mydei can fight one against ten or one against a hundred even without special abilities, while the weak ones can’t even handle the siege of three or five soldiers and can only die miserably under the blade… So, it seems that the increase in Golden Blood level is most intuitively a numerical increase.
If it were just about absorbing Golden Blood from Chrysos Heirs or even demigods to improve, that would be too simple.
I just wonder if there is a possibility of increasing the intensity to be equivalent to the true Calamity-Extinguishing Golden Blood…” While analyzing, Gwyn suddenly felt a wave of dizziness in his head, and it felt as if a warm current was surging from deep within his body, flowing through his entire being, making him feel as if he were soaking in a hot spring, causing him to feel drowsy.
“It seems the Golden Blood fusion has taken effect.” Gwyn did not resist this drowsiness but drifted off into a deep sleep along with this warmth— Although he wasn’t stabbed to death this time, he had been in pain from his illness for most of the day, and was finally elbowed by Castorice’s death authority, so he was quite exhausted.
But while Gwyn slept, some people could not sleep well— At the Flame-Chasers’ First Research Institute, having stayed up until late at night, Mobius, who had fallen into a deep sleep beside the desk, frowned slightly, as if she were still troubled by the problem before her in her dream.
Suddenly, a rapid alarm sounded, instantly waking Mobius, who was slumped over the desk.
Her body sat up like a spring, and the coat that had been draped over her shoulders instantly fell off.
Mobius followed the alarm and looked, only to see the remote monitoring display showing that Gwyn’s body temperature, blood pressure, and other data had exceeded the normal safe values and were still rising at a speed visible to the naked eye.
“Doctor?” The green-haired girl, who had draped the coat over Mobius and had just fallen asleep on the sofa for a little while, scratched her somewhat messy hair and quickly got up.
“Quick, Klein, Gwyn’s condition is rapidly deteriorating.” With a sharp flick of her long green hair, Mobius was already rushing toward the door— “I’ll go to the ward to start the equipment, you go get the other things, prepare for resuscitation!” “Understood!” Although she was so sleepy she couldn’t open her eyes, Klein forced herself to stay alert and acknowledge the order.
She wiped her face with cold water and hurried into action.
However, when Klein arrived at the ward, she found that Mobius was not busy running around as she had expected, but was standing by Gwyn’s bed.
“!” Klein’s heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition arose.
She quickly glanced at the monitor by the bed and found that there was still a heart rate.
Although the ECG and other data were extreme, the person was still alive after all.
“Doctor?” Confirming that Gwyn hadn’t breathed his last, Klein then cautiously asked.
“…Klein, give me the things.
You go back and disconnect the ward from the mainframe, and at the same time, clear the abnormal data that just appeared.” Mobius looked at Gwyn and pursed her lips, giving orders methodically, “After doing all this, wait over there and be prepared to get medicine according to my requirements.” “Huh?
Understood!” Hearing this strange order, Klein was stunned for a moment, but immediately handed the things in her hand to Mobius and turned to leave.
Although she didn’t know what the situation was, following the Doctor’s orders was the right thing to do.
While physically cooling Gwyn down, Mobius looked at his face, which was flushed red due to the sudden rise in body temperature, deep puzzlement and curiosity in the depths of her eyes.
The first thing she did after coming over was to check the Honkai Energy erosion patterns on Gwyn’s body, which was the simplest diagnostic method for patients with honkai sickness.
Mobius had assumed that Gwyn’s sudden illness was a sudden worsening of his already extremely severe Honkai Energy erosion.
However, when she unbuttoned Gwyn’s clothes, she found that the patterns had not thickened or multiplied as she had thought, but were instead slowly shrinking, turning from purple to a faint gold, and then fading at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This was clearly illogical, but Mobius had no time to investigate the cause.
The urgent priority was to preserve Gwyn’s life, so she injected Gwyn with antihypertensive drugs to prevent him from dying of a hypertensive emergency.
However, after the injection was completed, Mobius made a new discovery— The bloodstain at the wound was not the familiar bright red, but revealed a faint gold…
