Chapter: Chapter 485
With an idea, Leticia immediately took action. She took the divine bone out of Infernal’s chains and gently wrapped it with colorful aura. This pure mental energy was a great supplement for the weak consciousness within the divine bone.
“This strange woman is treating me to food, should I refuse?” The consciousness of the great egg thought as it slurped up the energy Leticia was transmitting.
“…You can’t expect a great egg whose brain hasn’t fully developed to have high intelligence.”
“This energy tastes much better than the previous energy!” Gobbling down the mental energy Leticia threw over, the consciousness of the great egg evaluated the taste of this large meal.
However, even though she was digesting the energy Leticia sent over at her fastest speed, her absorption rate was still not fast. After all, she was just a very, very weak wisp of consciousness, and she couldn’t digest too much energy.
Fortunately, Leticia didn’t expect her to mature so quickly. There was still some time before she found Huang, and she just needed to cultivate this wisp of consciousness into a secret weapon within this period.
She only spent a little time each day feeding this wisp of consciousness. For Leticia, who was basically idle, it wasn’t something that required special time allocation.
Just waving her hand as she passed by was incredibly convenient.
After two or three days had passed like this, the wisp of consciousness was finally fed to a good strength by Leticia.
“This mental strength is already comparable to ordinary beastmen…” Leticia judged, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at the divine bone continuously flashing with golden light. “However, it can only reach this level at most.”
This wisp of consciousness was only a wisp of consciousness separated from the great egg’s本体. It was already considered quite good to have grown to this extent with Leticia’s help.
“So, can such a wisp of consciousness really play any role?” Infernal stood by, constantly poking the divine bone with her materialized golden chains, causing the consciousness within the divine bone to let out constant screams.
Compared to a few days ago, the voice emitted by this trace of consciousness had become clearer. Even Bai Ling could vaguely understand the meaning this trace of consciousness wanted to express.
“Let’s just treat it as raising a small pet,” Leticia chuckled. “I’ll think of a way to make her able to speak properly.”
Such a wisp of consciousness could already control a body, but Leticia didn’t have the materials on hand to create a body for this wisp of consciousness.
If a normal body wouldn’t work, then she could only settle for the next best thing and create a few beggar-level bodies as substitutes.
Thinking this, Leticia specifically took some time to go out and catch a few ordinary beasts. After chopping them into mince, she processed them with magic, and a blood-red clay similar to what she used to make Yin’s body appeared.
However, the bodies made from this kind of clay had a very short shelf life, lasting at most half a month before naturally decaying. It was the beggar-level of beggar-level, the type that would break if you touched it.
After making these clays, Leticia picked up the divine bone where the great egg’s consciousness resided and asked her what kind of body she wanted.
But this question truly stumped this trace of consciousness. She was still a little slow-witted and didn’t understand what Leticia meant. She could only try her best to project her mental power into Leticia’s mind, asking Leticia to do it herself.
“Let you have your way?”
Leticia looked at the strangely smelling clay in front of her and began to ponder what kind of body to mold.
First, judging from the wisp of consciousness’s voice, this little one was very weak and young. So, let’s set her appearance as a little girl of eight or nine years old.
Sinking her hands into the blood-red clay, Leticia began to shape a body for the great egg’s consciousness.
“Bai, what color do you think this girl’s hair should be?” After shaping the body, Leticia began to worry about the appearance. “Golden? Or red?”
Huang was a gigantic bird that was entirely golden. When she transformed into human form, she should have golden hair.
And this wisp of consciousness was separated from Huang’s reincarnation. She should look similar to Huang, right?
“Golden-red gradient?” Miss Bai also became interested. She walked to Leticia’s side and offered her opinion.
“Don’t make things difficult for me, alright? With the materials I have, it’s already good enough to have single-colored hair.”
“Then golden it is, I think she’s more suited for golden.”
“What about the eyes?”
“Red, I guess.”
“Indeed, it seems Huang’s本体 also has red eyes, right?”
With each person saying their piece, a rather cute-looking body gradually took shape in Leticia’s hands.
A face as delicate as a doll’s, waist-length bright golden hair, and a body with a slight fleshy texture, it fully displayed the cuteness of a little girl.
A masterpiece, a true masterpiece!
“You two are too invested, aren’t you?” Infernal came over with a teacup and took a look, her eyes almost popping out. “Tsk, tsk, tsk, if people didn’t know, they’d think you were molding your own daughter’s body.”
“Ahaha… Daughter is too early. Besides, our daughter wouldn’t have golden hair,” Leticia replied, scratching her head with a slight blush. “Old Ancestor, what do you think of this body? It should be worthy of the great god Huang’s consciousness, right?”
“It’s perfect. I suspect the original Huang wasn’t even as beautiful as this body,” Infernal gave a positive evaluation of Leticia and Bai Ling’s work. “Even I want you to mold a new body for me.”
Infernal had been using this appearance for a long time and did want to change it.
“No problem. After this incident is over, I’ll find some time to mold a new body for you, Old Ancestor,” Leticia readily agreed. She actually enjoyed molding people, so she’d treat it as relaxation.
After finishing the conversation with the Old Ancestor, Leticia took the divine bone from the side and motioned for Bai Ling to cut open the chest of the body that was not yet controlled by consciousness.
Starlight pierced the girl’s chest, revealing a mass of blood-red mince beneath her fair skin. Such a quickly made body naturally wouldn’t have very sophisticated internal structures. The fact that it could move at all was a testament to Leticia’s skilled hands.
However, there was no problem using it for a short period. Since Leticia was here, she could just make another one when the body’s shelf life expired.
Speaking of bodies… Yin should be needing her second body soon. She wondered when this goddess of space would come to rescue her.
If Yin could open the spatial channel earlier and come over, they would have more combat power available. Even if Yin didn’t participate in the fight, her spatial traversal ability was extremely useful, especially for traveling.
Unfortunately, such things could only be thought of in dreams.
While thinking distractedly, Leticia inserted the divine bone into the girl’s chest.
The consciousness within the divine bone couldn’t transfer its consciousness by just sticking a divine artifact like Yin could. She needed to embed what she was currently attached to in order to control the current body.
When this body eventually became unusable, she could also transfer her consciousness back into the divine bone for protection. Although this body was very weak, the hardness of the divine bone was still trustworthy. As long as she didn’t encounter divine-level attacks, it should be able to withstand about ten days without much issue.
As the chest was closed again, Leticia and Bai Ling stepped back and began to watch the great egg consciousness’s performance.
The small girl lying on the table began to twitch continuously, indicating that the great egg’s consciousness was still not very proficient at controlling the body.
After a while, the girl slowly opened her red eyes. She curiously observed her surroundings, a surprised expression on her face.
“Hmm?” She opened her mouth, and a clear, cute voice came out. This was a vocal organ specially made by Leticia, and it seemed to be quite effective.
“Perfect!” Leticia smiled and high-fived Bai Ling.
“So what should we call her now?” Bai Ling, who instinctively raised her hand when she saw Leticia raising hers, looked at the golden-haired girl who was coordinating her limbs and whispered, “Should we call her Egg-egg?”
“That name sounds weird. Let’s ask her opinion after she gets used to her current body… but I suspect this little slow-wit won’t have any strong opinions.”
The golden-haired girl, who was struggling with her suddenly acquired limbs, felt the gazes from the people around her. She looked up blankly and glanced at Leticia and Bai Ling with a confused look, uttering a questioning sound again.
“Oh my god, she’s so cute, much cuter than Kira was when she was little!” Leticia covered her nose and turned her head away forcefully.
“Is this the result of my all-out effort in creating a person? It’s just too cute, too perfect!”
“As expected of her, even molding a person turns out this perfectly.”
*Crack.*
While Leticia was admiring herself, the golden-haired girl over there, for some reason, snapped off her right arm. Looking at her limp right arm, the girl, who had no idea how to control her body, became even more confused.
Fortunately, although this body had a short shelf life, its self-healing ability was quite good. Not long after, the broken right arm returned to its original state, allowing the golden-haired girl to continue abusing her body.
*Crack.* Not long after, with a confused look at her right hand, this girl snapped off her right arm again.
“Sigh, let her practice for a while. It’s indeed asking too much of this consciousness that hasn’t even hatched yet to directly control a body.” Seeing the girl’s horrific actions, Leticia also sighed. This was probably like pulling up seedlings to help them grow.
The great egg’s consciousness had only gained complete sentience a few days ago. Having this wisp of consciousness control a body now was simply making things difficult.
Fortunately, this wisp of consciousness had no guard and couldn’t think of too many things, otherwise Leticia was afraid she would be scolded by her in her heart for a long time.
…
Letting the golden-haired girl continue practicing controlling her body in the basement, Leticia and the other two returned to the ground and began today’s special training.
Just like the previous few days, Leticia and Bai Ling stood together, facing Infernal’s attacks.
However, neither side used their full strength. If they did, Infernal’s house would definitely not be preserved, and she, the Old Ancestor, might even be pinned down and beaten by her two juniors.
This was no joke. Infernal’s authority was control-based, and it didn’t have good compatibility with Leticia’s Dragon God authority. Even if she could seal part of the Dragon God authority, that giant dragon with ridiculously powerful physical abilities wasn’t something Infernal could deal with in a short time.
It was even possible for the giant dragon to directly break her chains with brute force. To put it bluntly, Infernal would have some difficulty defeating Leticia in a one-on-one fight right now.
If you added Bai Ling, who was always watching covetously, Infernal felt that as an old woman, she should quickly surrender.
Bai Ling only needed to act as a mobile turret during the training, unleashing her most powerful attacks at a fixed speed. The reason she couldn’t control her strength in the past few days was that she had used her ultimate moves too many times, and her body had gotten used to the feeling of unleashing ultimate moves. With a raise of her hand, she would release an ultimate move.
Now it was much better. At least her body could react and realize that she couldn’t use ultimate moves at this moment.
The difficulty of the training was actually with Leticia. She needed to simultaneously deal with Infernal’s attacks and protect Bai Ling from Infernal’s sneak attacks. The dual-tasking, combined with the sluggishness of controlling a dragon’s body, made her feel a bit nauseous.
“Roar!”
A lightning barrier blocked the chain attacking her back. With a swipe of her right claw, she broke another golden chain in front of her. Leticia’s eyes flashed with brilliance as she let out a roar towards the sky.
The dragon’s roar, imbued with the Dragon God’s power, pushed back all the golden chains attacking her. However, this indiscriminate attack also made Bai Ling dizzy, and a beam of starlight almost went out of control and flew towards Leticia’s back.
After painstakingly changing the direction of the starlight upwards, Bai Ling, having unleashed this ultimate move, shouted somewhat郁闷ly at Leticia, “Roar a bit softer next time, you almost hit me just now!”
Leticia also knew that she had gotten a bit too carried away and roared unintentionally. Although it repelled Infernal’s attack, it also affected Bai Ling. The magic in this world wasn’t very intelligent, and distinguishing between friend and foe was very difficult.
At least Leticia’s dragon roar couldn’t do that.
Leticia scratched her head a bit embarrassed and replied in a闷闷 tone, “I definitely won’t make this mistake next time!”
“You just said that a few days ago,” a golden chain impatiently hit Leticia’s forehead. Infernal, unable to manifest her本体, could only punish Leticia in this way. “Once the battle time is extended, your combat awareness will rapidly deteriorate. This is a big problem.”
