CXnovel Chapter 337: Origin
Chapter 337: Origin
Everything is ready.
The Fortune Origin of the Angel Race, the Divine Pattern, and the Demon Core of the Totem-level Demon Clan.
These three materials are now in Aster Grant’s hands.
"Lazuli, stop for a moment!"
Hearing this, Lazuli, who was exerting all her remaining strength to carve a path through the violent turbulence of The Void, paused, startled.
Though anxious, she stopped without hesitation, the surging energy around her slowly receding.
"Master, time is pressing! The Destruction Law within me is rapidly dissipating. If we cannot reach our destination before it exhausts..."
If the powerful Destruction Law within her ran dry, she would lose the chance to traverse The Void.
Thus, they could only do as before,
swept away by the turbulent currents of The Void, heading towards an unknown world.
Yet, Aster Grant did not answer Lazuli’s question.
Instead, he slowly took out the Fortune of the Angel Race and the Demon Core from the Totem-level Demon Clan from the Beastbond Space.
Seeing these familiar materials, Lazuli’s pupils contracted suddenly, and her breathing hitched!
This scene was too familiar to her...
Every time her master took out such materials simultaneously, it signified an earth-shattering transformation in her life level!
From two wings to four, to six, to eight, until ten wings...
Every leap in talent was accompanied by this scene.
But....
Her talent was already Myth Nine Stars!
Which was recognized as the limit of talent in the Alternate Space.
Could it be... she could break through further?!
"Mas-master... this..."
Lazuli’s voice trembled, looking at Aster Grant with an incredulous gaze.
Aster Grant nodded, his gaze falling upon the two materials.
But just then...
[Prompt: All materials detected, commence the ultimate talent advancement for Beastbond ’Divine Angel - Lazuli’?]
[Success rate of this advancement: 50%]
[Failure consequence: Permanent damage to Beastbond potential, significant drop in level.]
Aster Grant’s pupils suddenly contracted, an incomparably grave look in his eyes.
Only a 50% success rate!
Failure meant irreversible doom!
This was practically a gamble.
If won, everyone rejoices, but if lost....
He remained silent for a moment, looking at Lazuli with a complex expression.
Angel Fortune, Totem Demon Core...
Each material hard-earned, bestowed with endless effort.
Yet all this paled compared to Lazuli’s own desires and safety.
"Lazuli,"
Aster Grant’s voice was low and solemn as he relayed the system prompt unreservedly:
"The advancement this time has only a fifty percent success rate. If it fails, you may lose everything you have now."
"The choice is yours; whatever decision you make, I will support it."
Upon hearing Aster Grant’s statement, a fierce light flickered in Lazuli’s eyes, wavering between bright and dark.
A 50% chance...
Suddenly, Lazuli thought of the incredibly powerful aura she sensed earlier through the Beast Taming Contract.
She knew...
That aura belonged to Vera.
But...
That aura was terrifyingly strong now, far exceeding her own.
Thinking of this, Lazuli’s fists clenched slightly.
As one of her master’s Beastbonds, how could she willingly fall behind?
An indomitable urge and sense of urgency burned in her heart like a fire.
And, there was one other crucial point.
Although Aster Grant had no notions of being with anyone,
among the other Beastbonds...
If she couldn’t maintain her strength above theirs, her status as the "first Beastbond" might......
"No! Absolutely not!"
This thought struck like a thunderbolt, shattering all hesitation in an instant!
Lazuli looked up abruptly, the confusion and struggle in her eyes vanished, her voice resolute and determined:
"Master, I want to break through!"
Seeing the determination in Lazuli’s eyes, the last shred of doubt in Aster Grant’s heart also vanished.
He believed this little girl could do it.
"Alright!"
Aster Grant hesitated no longer, his consciousness sinking into the system, resolutely choosing—
"Yes!"
"It’s beginning!"
Aster Grant shouted, his hands forming seals, fully channeling the power of the Beastbond Space!
The materials, under his guidance, transformed into three torrents, surging into Lazuli’s body!
"Ah—!"
Almost the moment the energy entered her body, Lazuli let out a muffled cry of pain!
The vast holiness of Angel Fortune, the violent destruction of the Demon Core Origin, and her own Divine Pattern, all crashed and tore wildly within her!
Her body seemed a tragic battlefield, her skin bursting open with countless fine bloodstains, golden blood vaporized by the scorching energy before it could seep out!
The most terrifying was the impact on her soul!
The two laws were forcefully merging, attempting to carve an imprint beyond myth deep in her soul!
It was an extreme agony of her soul being ground away inch by inch and forcibly reassembled!
The ten wings behind Lazuli flared uncontrollably, each feather standing erect, intense flashes of crimson and golden light flickering, seemingly on the brink of collapse!
Her consciousness teetered on the edge of disintegration amidst the boundless pain.
"Lazuli! Hold to your essence! Think about what you must protect!"
Aster Grant’s anxious voice roared like thunder in her sea of consciousness about to submerge!
To protect... the Master!
These two words were like a beam of light in the dark night, guiding Lazuli through endless agony!
The disintegrating consciousness instantly reconsolidated!
Yes, she had to return to her master’s side and protect him!
How could she fall here!
"Merge for me!"
Lazuli cried from the depths of her soul!
No longer passively enduring, she actively guided the two forces, using her unyielding will as a core, forcibly melding them towards fusion!
"Boom——!!!"
It was as if a grand explosion of creation had occurred within her!
A column of indescribable brilliance soared from her crown, instantly dispelling the surrounding void darkness!
Within the light, angelic wing silhouettes were vaguely visible, ultimately settling into a primordial tranquility.
The light column slowly contracted, all of it absorbed into Lazuli’s body.
The next moment, an aura more majestic than ever before slowly awoke from within her, spreading out.
At the roots of her original ten wings, flesh and energy writhed violently, and in two resounding cries like chains breaking, two pairs of brand-new wings astonishingly regenerated!
Twelve wings!
The twelve wings slowly unfolded, the left six wings flowing with deep dark gold destruction runes, the right six wings shining with pure golden guardian holy light.
On the outermost layer of the twelve wings, a sheen of chaotic light cloaked them!
Lazuli slowly opened her eyes, the left like a chasm of destruction, the right like a sanctuary of guardianship.
She felt the ceaselessly flowing, seemingly inexhaustible power within, and a sense of control subtly resonating with the entire void.
She knew...
She had successfully broken through the mythical barrier, stepping into an unprecedented talent—
Origin!
