Chapter 705: 5. I’m Going All Out with You
“Beep beep.”
Fisher focused his gaze on the Supplement Handbook in front of him, at this moment the contents of several completion manuals had completely flowed into his heart. As the Sub-Human Girl Supplement Handbook became scorching against his chest, lines of illusory text also appeared before his eyes.
[Congratulations, you have completely read the Death Completion Manual, Fate Completion Manual, and Life Completion Manual.]
[The conditions for rank elevation have been completed!]
Fisher looked at the illusory text in front of him without speaking, and gradually transformed himself back into the form of a Chaos Race.
As that illusory form began to extend into a distorted shape, the true essence of the Chaos Race was also revealed. Chaos Races are inherently composed only of souls, without physical bodies, differing from the nature of being [one body of flesh and soul] in reality. Therefore, when they enter reality, they are forced to form physical bodies, causing a drop in rank.
This process is completed in a crevice, and the previously damaged Chaos Races of the demigod ranks in the crevice have surprisingly not formed bodies, indicating that with Dalasgon losing consciousness, the rules of reality have started to break down to a certain extent.
Fisher’s true form as a Chaos Race also possesses this property, meaning his true body only has a soul and no physical body. His human form was fabricated by Chaotic Being, created before he obtained the Life Completion Manual, from the time he believed himself to be human and stayed beside Sister Teresa; his body was falsified by Chaotic Being.
This also implies that the Sub-Human Girl Supplement Handbook may be highly knowledgeable about all completion manuals and the chaos behind them.
However, the nature of accommodating various forms of chaos should only exist within himself. Fisher could not understand how the Subhuman Girl Enthusiast managed to do it.
“.”
When Fisher reverted back to the true form of the Chaos Race, the Sub-Human Girl Supplement Handbook pressed against his chest radiated an even brighter golden light, spreading golden patterns throughout his body. This time, the Sub-Human Girl Supplement Handbook no longer mentioned anything about researching multiple sub-humans concurrently; instead, human skin automatically formed from those golden patterns, erupting with tremendous power.
His rank was once again elevated, but he was still one completion manual short of being able to see Renee’s true form.
At the same time, the illusory text before him began to ripple like a tide, revealing more information.
[Detected that you have completely entered the Spirit Realm space, relevant content has been unlocked.]
[Unlocked the map of the Spirit Realm: Walking to key spatial nodes has unlocked the map record of this area.]
[Unlocked research entries related to the Chaos Race: For individuals who are completely different Chaos Races, you cannot bind individual research on the characteristics of the Chaos Race, but knowing their commonalities will still earn you rewards. For example: exploring the source of their “Yin-Yang Reversal” characteristics, researching their social structure and living habits, etc.]
Fisher remained silent for a moment, looking at the various boxes that had appeared before him. Sometimes he truly suspected that the Subhuman Girl Enthusiast, the calamity who still thrived outside the barriers, had some deep understanding of human nature through the Sub-Human Girl Supplement Handbook.
However, the map was very useful to Fisher. Upon careful thought, the Spirit Realm was filled with Crimson Mist, and even without being affected by His power and falling into danger, the sheer darkness combined with thick fog would probably make it difficult to discern the way ahead.
At this moment, the map on the Sub-Human Girl Supplement Handbook only displayed a small area nearby; there was no need for Fisher to mark it, as the map already presented the name of the location.
[Ruins of the Ramastia People.]
He was just about to stand up and take a look around when he suddenly saw a huge white dot on the illusory map approaching the brightly lit area of the map at high speed. Fisher’s heart skipped a beat; he turned to look in the direction of that large white dot, and indeed, a whistling sound suddenly came from the darkness outside the building. Just then, Teresa’s voice rang out behind him.
“I’m back, Fisher.”
“How’s it going over there?”
Fisher turned to look behind him, and the Ramastia incarnation, resembling Teresa, was smiling there. He quickly stood up and asked with concern.
Ramasthia answered steadily, “It’s been resolved, all is well.”
“And the others, Raphael, Jasmine, Valentina, and Captain Alagina?”
“They’re all fine, they know you’re safe. Moreover, Raphael is still waiting for you to return with a pure soul from the Sea of Souls. And I suppose you want to ask about Elizabeth, right?”
“So, how is she?”
“She only lost her prosthetic eye and fell into a coma, affected slightly by the Authority of Death. Her body may become much weaker afterward. However, you’ve already grasped the chaos of Chaotic Being, so when you return, you can certainly repair her eyes.”
Fisher breathed a sigh of relief, but at that moment, Ramasthia’s voice again rang out.
“However, you should know that you’ve merely passed your own test, right? She was just saved by you, but under the influence of the Authority of Death, she doesn’t have any impression of your actions; even if she does, it’s probably very vague. With her temperament, at this moment, though she survived, whether she would be willing to accept your help and whether you would have a definite future together is still uncertain.”
Fisher’s gaze shifted slightly, but at this moment, he only said, “I understand.”
He saw Elizabeth’s pain in the light of the soul before the Authority of Death; that pain should have belonged to him, and thus, he would save her, not just this once.
Ramasthia smiled slightly, no longer speaking.
At this moment, Fisher also shifted his focus back to the front; only then did he suddenly discover that there was an empty spot where Ramasthia’s incarnation was standing on the map provided by the Sub-Human Girl Supplement Handbook— not even a dot, while outside the building, a huge white dot behind him was incredibly conspicuous.
The incarnation in front of him was indeed fake, but the issue was that he had genuinely embraced Her when he mistakenly believed he was dead.
At that time, Fisher was utterly certain that his hand had touched something material, even the scent from Her body was exactly the same as the incense scent attached to Sister Teresa in his memory.
What is going on?
“Wait a minute, Ramasthia.”
Unconvinced, Fisher reached out to stop Ramasthia from speaking, instead gently holding onto Ramasthia’s hand. Indeed, the warmth coming from that fair and warm palm felt real.
Could it be that the Sub-Human Girl Supplement Handbook does not display manifestations?
“What’s wrong? Interested in the matter of divine manifestations?”
“Ah, it’s just that my intuition and the Sub-Human Girl Supplement Handbook both tell me that your incarnation before me is illusory and does not truly exist, yet I can see and touch it.”
Ramasthia smiled kindly, as if suddenly remembering something, “By the way, you’ve only ever seen the incarnation of the [Moon] and have never seen her true form.”
“You mean Renee?”
“Yes, but we all call her that, as well as her previous incarnation, the so-called Mother. After the mythological war, her consciousness was born, and she underwent a long period of confusion while merging with her Authority. If all counts, she has been consciously wandering in reality for only a few hundred years, making her quite young and naive.”
“I see.”
Fisher had encountered many deities; if he inferred from the story Ramasthia previously told about the calamity outside the barriers, they surely had extremely long histories. But looking back at Renee, it turned out she was only a few hundred years old?
Even Eil, whom Fisher knew, had lived longer than her. No wonder she was still so naive in many ways.
“And regarding manifestations, your feeling is correct, Fisher. In fact, from a strict viewpoint, manifestations are not real; to us, they are merely symbols of will. But for beings that see Them, manifestations not only envelop our will but also encompass our [nature], which is our [Authority].”
Ramasthia smiled slightly, patiently explaining the concept of manifestations to Fisher. Under the glow, she resembled Sister Teresa explaining Genesis to little Fisher many years ago.
However, back then, Fisher had looked quite impatient, merely watching Teresa’s profile with hopes for her to finish quickly. Now, he listened attentively, not daring to look at Her, fearing he might confuse the deity with the maternal figure in his memory.
“Take me as an example; when you see me, it is in the form of your adoptive mother, and my voice is the same. Jasmine sees me as a baby, Xu sees me as an old woman, and Gouwen sees me as a man; it’s all like this. This is not determined by me, but by the nature of my second Authority. And your Renee, due to her Authority being infinite, certain characteristics of her manifestation will present infinite qualities. You’ve seen those Hart Birds, haven’t you?”
“The second Authority? Do deities with multiple Authorities only display one nature in their manifestations?”
It had been previously mentioned that Ramasthia was a deity with two Authorities, while most other deities only possessed one.
So what characteristics do deities with multiple Authorities have in their manifestations?
“That’s correct, I’m not too sure, but my manifestation can only exhibit one nature of Authority. After all, the manifestation truly exists for you, and in a sense, the deity’s will intends to exhibit a form, which will also carry the most representative characteristics of Them.
“Moreover, when using manifestations, there’s actually no distance limitation, nor does it affect the rules of reality. So during the mythological era, I often walked the world using my manifestations, personally experiencing the beauty of the world I created. However, later on, each time I was discovered by my children, who then flew down to meet me, which made me very troubled.”
Upon reflection, it might have seemed strange to the beings of the mythological age; right before their eyes, there was clearly a young girl playing and chatting, possibly evoking laughter because of her appearance and style of speech, leading them to tease her a bit.
Yet the next moment, the three most powerful demigods in the world suddenly appeared by her side, and just as the beings were filled with fear and knelt before the demigods, they realized that those three demigods were rather respectfully kneeling before the girl.
There seemed to be something bizarre about that.
Though such a scene couldn’t have happened, Fisher wasn’t truly concerned with Ramasthia’s situation back then; he was merely more interested in Renee’s matters.
He used to think Renee’s sensitivity might be related to her body, but now it seemed it was her consciousness that was sensitive, not her body?
Yet to see her, he still needed one completion manual.
This matter coincidentally related to his main objective.
Fisher looked at Ramasthia before him and asked, “Now that Heow and several other deities’ plan to assassinate Dalasgon has failed, all attachments of them within the barriers have vanished except for mine. As long as you confirm that nothing hosting their power enters from outside the barrier, can we not temporarily eliminate their threat?”
Ramasthia shook her head and smiled, saying, “The situation on the barrier side is very complex; I no longer have time to explain it in detail to you. I took great risks returning to save you; otherwise, your Renee wouldn’t be unable to leave her body. I originally planned to have you find Gouwen, as he is very knowledgeable about the situation here, and it would be easier for him to explain it to you. However, I didn’t expect that once I told him you were in the Spirit Realm, he would enthusiastically take the initiative to come and look for you.”
Fisher was taken aback for a moment, and then beads of cold sweat began to form on his forehead.
“It seems that, even after so long, he still values his friendship with you quite a bit.”
Ramasthia teased like this, and Fisher only felt that his arrival would certainly put himself in danger, without a doubt.
“.”
After saying all this, the Teresa-like manifestation of Ramasthia prepared to leave; she glanced at the darkness outside and unexpectedly spoke up, “It seems he’s almost here. Wow, he’s not slow at all.”
Fisher, with a headache, rubbed his temples and looked out at the pitch-black Spirit Realm, suddenly feeling a sense of increased heartbeat for some reason.
“Alright, I must go back. I’ve informed your Renee about your arrival in the Spirit Realm, and she might soon impatiently want to come see you. However, with Gouwen around, you should consider how to deal with that.”
Fisher glanced at Ramasthia, who was smiling and gradually becoming more illusory beside him. It had been a hard-fought battle in reality, and just as they had finally reached a conclusion, it must be time for the “good brother” meeting.
If it were truly a reunion after ten thousand years, Fisher feared he would genuinely be overjoyed.
But the problem was that he had a somewhat indescribable relationship with his daughter.
What was even more critical was that back in the day when he traveled with Hela, flirting had all happened right in front of Gouwen!
There was no way to argue or dodge it. Fisher truly felt an increasing headache.
Little did he know that at this moment, in the crevice of reality, Emhart, who was likewise facing Xu, was also sweating profusely.
“Then it’s settled; let Gouwen speak with you about the rest, and we’ll see each other again soon, Fisher.”
Ramasthia’s figure gradually became illusory, quickly disappearing, and outside the building, some shadow howled as it rushed into the deep space of the Spirit Realm.
Fisher turned to look at the desktop, only to suddenly find a brand-new golden Fluid Sword lying there, having no knowledge of when Ramasthia left it behind.
He raised his hand to pick it up, and a blade of fluid as golden as gold extended out, connecting with his thoughts and appearing incredibly sharp.
It seemed Ramasthia already knew he had taken the original Fluid Sword to fill David’s shelter, which was why she gifted him another one.
Speaking of David, now that he had entered the Spirit Realm, after resting for a while, he also needed to consider the matter of the Apocalypse Prophecy. It would surely involve Dream and the remaining Mechanism Completion Manuals, giving him a chance to help find the Michael and Mikhail he had been seeking.
Gouwen had been here for many years and was acquainted with Mikhail; he probably had clues, and it would all be clear once he asked.
However, before asking him for clues, Fisher feared he needed to—
“Fisher?! Where are you?!”
Just as he was staring at the brand-new golden legendary Fluid Sword in his hand, a rushed shout suddenly came from the darkness beyond the building ruins, causing Fisher to break out in a layer of cold sweat and involuntarily turn to look in the direction of the voice.
“Come out!! I’m going all out with you!!”
