Chapter 2109: Trusting each other with organs, in the name of oath
Gurgling, gurgling...that was a sound that Alberto was very familiar with. To be precise, it was the unique sound of Rikka cooking meat soup.
However, the one standing in front of the "pot" is no longer Rikka but himself, and the thing in the "pot" is no longer meat soup, but a metal ball that is rapidly melting.
Exactly more than half a month later, when the last bits of debris disappeared, the power of blood in the six-story cave of Philecht Nalantis in the necropolis was no longer violent, but all returned to the depths of the cave.
Integrate into the blood pool.
The metal ball, which was composed of more than a dozen rare weapons, was now completely reduced to a puddle of goo. After being corroded by the power of blood, it was completely controlled by Gloria.
Starting from the most insignificant finger bones, then the joints, back, limbs, and finally the spine and ribs. It was a completely black skeleton with a deep red glow on the surface.
At the same time, a touch of black lines was added to the surface of the heart. Those black lines are the concrete representation of the walls of the blood vessels in the heart.
"It's such a pity. Originally, I thought that I could achieve the goal in one step and strengthen the bones and internal organs to the extreme at once. But now that I think about it, I was too optimistic."
"But that's okay. After all, the materials in this world are not worthy of condensing perfect internal organs. It's better to wait until you start the plane journey before seeking it."
"Both I and the gods will make mistakes. Before, I thought of extending my life through countless substitutes, but now it seems that it is unnecessary."
"To be precise, I will never make the same mistake twice on the same question. Then a spare organ is enough, so why bother myself."
Gloria's plain, almost cold voice echoed in the cave for a long time, but now her appearance was even more terrifying than that of the Abyss Demon. After all, not everyone could readily accept that appearance of superimposed muscles.
"You know, even at this time, I don't trust anyone, not even you or your companions."
"Always keep calm and always do what you should do. Even many children understand this truth, but it was my negligence."
Gloria's voice sounded again, and she saw that even at this critical moment, the crimson blizzard outside the cave never stopped.
As she said, in the end, the only one she can rely on is herself, not any external force, whether it is the Necropolis Philecht Nalantis or her companions.
That crimson blizzard was enough to completely isolate the cave. Even if my sister Rikka came in person, it would take at least several hours to break through.
"Then...I will leave the other set of organs to you for safekeeping. Although Hastur is also competent, I trust you more."
"Thinking about it this way, the Soul Butterfly clan is not without its merits. At least in terms of hidden skills, it should be far better than many relics."
"Swallow these glass containers into your belly. Unless I order you to take them out, you must not expose them to anyone. Of course, if you don't want to do this, I will force it."
With the final patchwork of skin, Gloria was able to "regain life". She had dark red shoulder-length curly hair, indigo pupils, and a blood-striped petal branded on her chest.
However, there are now more than a dozen glass containers of various sizes in the blood pool. Spare organs condensed by the power of blood are enclosed in them.
But that is Gloria, who is a blood demon, otherwise even her sister Rikka does not have this weird ability. And to this day, except for Rikka and Alberto, no one knows about her.
The ability to "give up the body" at will.
As long as the heart is intact, Gloria can be reborn in the blood cocoon state. And those spare organs accelerate the regression process.
However, Gloria's heart is her biggest secret. Apart from herself, even her sister Rikka knows about it.
In other words, if you want to truly kill Gloria, you must completely destroy her heart. Otherwise, no matter how damaged her body is, the retrospect will only last a short time.
And just as her sister Rikka is still in the growth stage, Gloria's heart is not actually in its ultimate form. In addition, she is naturally suspicious, which is why she chooses such an extreme way to save her life. After all, in the current world, even in ancient times,
The ferocious beast could not cause any substantial damage to the heart.
And this time the so-called "cultivation" is that Gloria completely replaced her whole body skeleton. The black skeleton is fused with several rare metals, whether in terms of affinity to the four basic psychic powers or in terms of strength.
In all aspects, they are all unique existences before.
In other words, just relying on her current black frame, Gloria can remain invincible in this world. Unless her sister Rikka turns against her, then she will be an immortal existence.
"I swear on my soul, as long as you still have one breath, your spare organs will be absolutely intact."
"Your vision is still so keen. At least in this world, no one is better at the art of concealment than the Soul Butterflies."
Alberto knelt down on one knee, speaking calmly and resolutely. There was light flowing in his pure white pupils, and the power of pale pink coercion came out uncontrollably, indicating his ups and downs of emotions.
Even though the other person's words were still so mean, Alberto, who had been getting along day and night, understood that this was the other person's true recognition of him.
Now I am just a relic, and I have never even shown any strength. But even so, the other party still entrusted me with those spare organs, which shows how much the other party values me.
It was a feeling of satisfaction that she had achieved her wish. Alberto swallowed the glass container into his belly without hesitation. However, she did not say anything more and returned to the female insect form.
"Sir, if we collect more rare metals after we start the plane journey in the future, your bone strength should also be improved."
The familiar aroma of coffee spread in the cave, the snowstorm turned pure white again, and the four basic psychic powers were no longer chaotic.
"Everything has its limit. At least based on my current level, this skeleton can no longer be modified."
"But the muscles and blood vessels can still be perfected, but that will only be a problem after I leave this world. I don't have time to continue thinking about how to save my life."
"Now that you've prepared new cups and saucers, let's make more coffee. I don't know what's going on outside to interrupt my practice so abruptly."
The blood pool returned to the body, and the surface of the familiar black robe was imprinted with golden petals. Gloria waved her hand to lift the restrictions on the various levels of the necropolis, and she and Alberto waited silently for the distinguished guests to come to the door.
Alberto grinned when he heard this, but he didn't know what to say. After all, the two scents were very familiar, or it could be said that there was only one of them that he would never dare to disobey.
Looking back at Gloria, she was testing the strength of her new body. First the dragon crystal, then the meteorite, and finally even the etheric magic crystal was easily crushed by it.
Alberto ducked to the entrance of the cave and cast his gaze into the distance, towards the slightly opened tunnel. The corners of his mouth raised, and she became her usual self again, but she had no intention of leaking Gloria's secret, even to the other party.
As partners, even if the other party is more familiar with Lady Gloria than you are.
