Chapter 278: Bloodline Transformation (1/2)
The energy of corruption followed Seth's guidance and invaded Chun Meiyi's body. However, it ignored her normal body cells and only focused on locating the bloodline cells that were trying to awaken inside of her.
The corruption stuck to them and started to corrupt those bloodline cells, ignoring the fact they were the noble cells of the Illusive Ethereal Bloodline. A bloodline the goddess had passed down to mere mortals and unfortunately, none of them were able to bring it back to its former glory.
The Illusive Ethereal Goddess, wished for her descendants to flourish and dominate over this small planet and set sail to explore the universe later on, making her name echo through the four corners of the entire cosmos. However, her descendants were not even able to ascend yet and her spec of spiritual force still residing on the Illusive Ethereal Sanctuary, was unable to accomplish anything greater than what she had already done.
It was really unfortunate that when she received that ”Crimson Annihilation” divination, her wishes were put at risk and the resulting consequences limited her descendants even more.
At that moment, Seth was smashing that limit apart with his corruption, giving it to Meiyi's cells and making it serve as the resource those awakening cells needed, instead of what was the original source. At first, Meiyi's cells started to resist, but the corruption was not something the bloodline cells of a fallen deity could compare with, after all, the attribute behind that power was tyranny.
The purple bloodline cells were corrupted and started to transform into something stronger. But the whole operation Seth was riskily doing was already fated to fail. He hadn't forgotten about it, but no one except him was actually able to hold that power and live after being transformed by it.
Even Allannia, the elven general that was fascinated by the power she received after being corrupted, ended up dying at the end. At that time, she had achieved the Mana Sovereign Realm, but it was not enough to support her body and mind, maintaining it intact.
Seth's action of infusing corruption inside Meiyi's body, was practically putting a time bomb inside of her.
”Seth... Are you sure you're...” Lexi's voice suddenly resounded in his mind, trying to give him a last warning that he was about to do something risky.
With his new control over the corruption, he still could take it all back, not putting Meiyi in that risky spot, but he didn't seem like he would retreat.
”Lexi... Looking at her condition is what makes me feel more pain. If this method can release her from that suffering, then I don't mind sacrificing myself for that.”
Lexi didn't understand what he was currently implying with those words, but his next actions showed her what kind of madness he was talking about.
Seth suddenly created a Sound Isolation Barrier around the room and after that, he activated his Soul Link connection with Meiyi to its fullest. Through that connection, his Soul Mist started to flow towards her body, mixing inside the process happening with her bloodline cells.
”What are you doing?! You're crazy! Stop!” Lexi tried to make him stop, but Seth was already determined to do that.
His action was akin to putting small pieces of his soul inside Meiyi's new bloodline cells. However, if it was just a temporary process or if his Soul Mist returned to his body later, like what happened with his Specter of Darkness, there would be no major problems. But what Seth was doing, was literally giving her, his Soul Essence Mist.
In other words, he was ripping his own soul and feeding it to the corruption, making it recognize it was him; the one that had prevailed.
When his Soul Essence Mist started to enter as a material in that process, Seth felt like he was being tortured with a searing knife. He tried to resist it, but he inevitably failed to control his voice and started to scream loudly. If anyone were to hear those painful screams, they would definitely get horrified, thinking about the things that might be happening inside that room.
Seth was about to fall down on the floor while agonizing in pain, but with sheer determination, he forced his body to stay standing, while he kept feeding more and more of his Soul Essence Mist to Meiyi. Every time he did that, the pain intensified.
He was lucky that the quantity and time he had to do that, didn't exceed a minute and when he felt it was enough, he stopped feeding her his own Soul and fell on the ground, powerless. It was like all the energies and stamina he possessed, were fully drained in that single minute.
