"Her organ failure was not caused by you inhabiting her body."
Lin Xiao said calmly: "It was infected by a virus from the medieval era."
Asmodeus's eyes changed slightly: "Virus?"
"Viruses will survive in frozen quiescence for a long time. Just as the Arctic permafrost melts, viruses and bacteria that have been dormant for hundreds of thousands of years may be released. The same is true for relic environments."
Lin Xiao said: "Bacteria from the medieval era are fatal to modern humans. They will adhere to the surfaces of stone slabs and cultural relics, and this is also the reason why Xiao Meng is critically ill."
Asmodeus's eyes flickered and he sneered:
"In the end, this is just your conjecture."
From a certain perspective, Xiaomeng is Asmodeus's savior.
When Asmodeus lodged in the ancient stone slab and fell asleep in the long darkness, it was the little dream that woke him up and provided him with a female body suitable for lodging.
However, after possessing him, Asmodeus discovered that Xiao Meng's physical condition was extremely poor, and he fell into a coma not long after.
Worried that leaving Xiao Meng's body would cause her body to rapidly decay, Asmodeus stayed in Xiao Meng's body for nearly three years, constantly looking for ways to resurrect himself.
Because only Asmodeus returns to the world as the 'Demon of Lust' can Xiao Meng survive.
This is not only to repay her life-saving grace, but also related to Asmodeus's character.
She has a stubborn temper. Just like the demon of lust who was hanged on a tree in "The Legend of Tebia", once she identifies a host, she will not change it easily.
"It's not a conjecture."
Lin Xiao had a black ball of nothingness hovering in his palm, shaped like a small black hole, and said calmly: "It's a fact."
Asmodeus looked at the small black hole, seeming to realize something, and his pupils shrank slightly.
"You should have heard of Beelzebub's title as 'Lord of Plagues'."
Lin Xiao said: "He is the demon god who causes disease. He is well aware of all germs, which naturally includes ancient viruses that can cause organ failure in modern humans."
The Demon God of Lust looked at the Black Hole of Gluttony, and before his eyes there seemed to be a scene of flies flying all over the sky in hell, spreading plague and disease.
"The Demon of Gluttony...Beelzebub..."
Asmodeus gritted his teeth and asked: "How come you have his power of gluttony! Moreover, it is such a pure source of power!"
"That's not the point."
Lin Xiao glanced at the black hole in the palm of her hand: "The point is, I can use the 'power of gluttony' to eat away the virus on Xiaomeng's body and save her from danger."
Asmodeus's expression was uncertain, and he couldn't understand the man in front of him.
"How can I be sure that you are not deceiving me?" Asmodeus said. "You want me to let you leave the depths of the dream?"
Strictly speaking, this is the abyss of dreams that Lin Xiao and Qiao Linna fell into because of their failed bet.
If you want to leave here, the difficulty will be doubled than before. Asmodeus has the home field advantage here, and his combat power will skyrocket.
"For now, I am the only one who can save Xiaomeng's life, so..."
Lin Xiao frowned and said, "I am negotiating terms with you now."
"presumptuous!"
Asmodeus' eyes were illuminated by white light, and a magic book called "Lust" appeared in his palm.
The magic book was suspended in front of the Gothic girl, spread out with a "clatter", and suddenly thunder fell down!
"You'd better send us away first."
Several bolts of lightning struck the man in armor, and the "Meteor Arms" appeared.
The heavy sword man held the "Gluttony Black Hole" and swallowed up the remaining thunderbolts, saying coldly:
"Otherwise, I will have to defeat you first."
It is indeed the real power of gluttony, there is nothing wrong with it.
In fact, he exudes the same spiritual oppression as Lord Lucifer.
Asmodeus's anger had long since disappeared. He stared at Lin Xiao, and after a long confrontation, he sighed and said:
"I only give you one chance."
The purpose of both of them is very clear, both are to save Xiaomeng's life.
Although Lin Xiao could use Xiaomeng to blackmail Asmodeus and then sign a contract, he didn't bother to do that.
After all, this behavior is no different from taking a little girl hostage.
"That's enough." Lin Xiao said, "Also, I want to ask... why did you send the card-falling master to collect 'lovable traits'?"
Asmodeus was silent and replied:
"First, it is for my resurrection ceremony."
"Second."
Asmodeus paused for a moment, closed the magic book in his hand, and said:
"I want Xiao Meng to become a beloved woman when she wakes up in the future, so that she will not be out of touch with human society..."
The white mist filled the air again, and consciousness gradually returned to reality.
Lin Xiao opened her eyes and looked around, only to see herself and Qiao Linna leaning on the sofa, each covered with a thin blanket.
It was already dark and there was no one else in the ward. Lin Xiao guessed that Asmodeus had covered them both, and felt a little weird.
The Goth girl stood under the moonlight, staring at the pale-cheeked little girl on the hospital bed, turned her head and threatened:
"If you can't save her..."
"Back off."
Lin Xiao approached the hospital bed. Asmodeus was stunned for a moment, then obediently made way for him.
The fire tool appeared as a crystal clear [Black Pearl], floating on Xiao Meng's forehead.
Lin Xiao injected the power of gluttony into the black pearl, carefully controlling the power, and saw tiny shards of light floating out of the little girl's body and pouring into the black pearl.
Beelzebub can spread plagues, but he can also cure diseases.
Asmodeus looked on in surprise... As the demon of lust, she was indeed not as good as Beelzebub in the field of healing.
The process of removing the virus from Xiaomeng is equivalent to surgery and requires full concentration.
An hour later, Lin Xiao's fire dimmed a lot, but the black pearl after swallowing the virus became even deeper.
A touch of fish belly white appeared in the sky outside the window. The girl on the hospital bed slowly opened her eyes, her dilated pupils gradually focused, and she looked at the three figures gathered by the window.
"You are...the big brother in my dream..."
"That's right." Lin Xiao smiled slightly.
The little girl breathed a sigh of relief. She could feel the kindness from Lin Xiao and said softly: "Can I... please do me... a favor?"
"sure."
"Then, I beg you..."
The little girl closed her big eyes with long eyelashes, shed tears, and said with a choked voice: "Help me pull out... these things... it really hurts..."
Lin Xiao was silent. He had indeed eliminated the virus on the little girl, but her body needed to recover and she would still feel intense pain at this moment.
Xiaomeng tried to commit suicide in the morning, not because of Dugu or Demon God, but because it was too painful to be sick.
Asmodeus was at a loss and wanted to find something to comfort the little girl, but the ward smelled of disinfectant and was clean and impersonal.
Jolina stood up seriously and walked towards the little girl.
Lin Xiao raised his head, expecting the girl to say some words of encouragement like "keep going", but instead he saw a card appear from the fire.
The card ignites the golden source of power and appears in colorful colors, like a rainbow of wave candy.
The principle of the dream world is the same as that of the virtual world. Only the mind and source power, Zhulong, one of the creators of the world, can turn "virtual" into "reality".
"You have always wanted to eat this in your dreams." Jolina put the candy on the bedside and smiled slightly, "When you get better, you can eat the candy."
The little girl opened her eyes in a daze, and the figure of the girl in red seemed to be superimposed with the relatives she thought about day and night, just like her mother.
She couldn't make a sound and nodded with all her strength. Tears were already streaming down her face where the endotracheal tube was intubated.
…
…
"You want to sign a contract with me?"
Outside the ward, the Goth girl looked at the [Black Dragon Contract] in Lin Xiao's hand, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
It turns out that this young man is the messenger of the Lord of Reincarnation, Nidhogg. No wonder he can gain the power of gluttony.
Lin Xiao nodded and said: "Xiaomeng can definitely survive without the demons. I also have the obligation to keep an eye on the demons and prevent them from doing evil in the human world."
"Oh?" Asmodeus narrowed his eyes and said with a sweet smile, "Where do you want to stare at me?"
As she spoke, she puffed up her chest proudly.
Jolina, who was leaning against the wall with her arms folded, glanced at her. She was startled for a moment, and then her eyes darkened.
Lin Xiao glanced at Asmodeus, then subconsciously looked for a reference object, and moved upwards at a smooth pace, just to meet Jolina's line of sight.
Jolina looked gloomy and smiled.
Kill you.
"Ahem, let's go outside and make a contract, Asmodeus!"
"Eh? Are you so eager to want it? No way~"
Asmodeus held Lin Xiao's arm and turned his head to stick out his tongue at Jolina.
Jolina was smiling.
She's just a thousand-year-old old woman... There's no need to be angry, there's really no need...
*
"The Demon God of Lust Asmodeus" successfully completed the contract without any danger.
For Asmodeus, since Xiao Meng is safe and sound, she can indeed move freely.
Lin Xiao showed his strength and character, and was the messenger of the 'Lord of Destruction and Reincarnation', which made Asmodeus curious.
Providing a complete version of the "Power of Lust" does not mean that Asmodeus's "Power of Lust" has been lost, it is more like sharing his authority with Lin Xiao.
Moreover, Asmodeus does not hate humans, and he does not even have the intention to kill.
By making a contract with Lin Xiao and staying in the human world, you don't have to worry about human crusade, and things will indeed go more smoothly.
The ability of "Lust Power" is more focused on mind manipulation and creating illusions.
If the power of pride is immune to illusions, then the "power of lust" is the maximum level of illusions.
Regarding the specific ability, Lin Xiao decided to test it carefully after returning home.
Right now, I have to think about what kind of profession is suitable for Asmodeus...
