Chapter 137-136- Awakening
With a flaking sound, the fragments of the white cocoon's surface fell like weathered wall plaster. They silently disintegrated in the biting cold wind, turning into invisible powder and dispersing without a trace.
So, in just over ten minutes, there was only a silver-haired girl in a black dress with her eyes closed in the snow.
She moved slightly and opened her eyes. The falling snow was reflected in her dark red pupils. Then she stood up and looked around blankly.
"How long has it been...?" She whispered to herself, stood up, and brushed off the snow and dust on her skirt. To her, the whole dream went by very quickly, almost in an instant. The scene of waving goodbye to Abella and Bingyu seemed to have happened just a few hours ago.
However, for Yvette, it was not difficult to figure out this problem. Even in deep sleep, the magic core in her body would grow steadily. And because her physical body had reached its limit, the annual increase was limited to 42 points per year. She could judge the duration of her long sleep just by the increase in the total amount of magic power.
She remembered that before she fell asleep, her total magic power was around 3100 points.
She immediately sank her consciousness into her body and began to check, but soon she was stunned, her beautiful little face full of disbelief.
7300 points!
A full 4,200-point increase!
Doesn't that mean a hundred years have passed?
Can it take that long?
In order to further confirm, she decisively awakened the "soul brain" that was dormant in the outer layer of the spiritual body. During her long sleep, the soul brain did not shut down, but maintained a low-power on state, which would not affect the increase in magic power.
And here, she got confirmation once again that it was indeed a hundred years.
A long silence fell. Yvette stood in the wind and snow, letting the cold invade her. The first thought in her mind was, a hundred years have passed, what happened to Rosaline? Could she have turned into ashes?
But as the strongest being under the True God, and the co-leader of the humans and demons of the East and West Continents, his lifespan clearly couldn't be measured by common sense, so living for a few hundred more years shouldn't be a problem...
She comforted herself and immediately began to examine her Pure White Touch, exploring the changes in her abilities brought about by a century of sleep.
Immediately, under her will, a tentacle quickly emerged from her palm, but compared to usual, the color had changed slightly.
Unlike the previous clean and pure white like milk, it is now stained with a grayish tone, adding a sense of dirtiness and chaos.
From white touch... to gray touch?
Yvette immediately thought of the almost two-dimensional shadow touch in the depths of the ocean of consciousness, and wondered if the final evolution would be to dye it black?
Doesn't that mean it has the same ability as Liana?
Then, driven by curiosity, she began to try to manipulate the gray tentacle. Within a few seconds, the end of the tentacle quickly deformed, extended, and solidified, turning into a gray blade with a cold glow.
She continued to change her mind, and the gray blade changed accordingly. First, it turned into a gray, bony giant claw, then into a small round shield, and then into a long whip and a saw... Not only could the shape change at will, but the material properties could also switch between soft and hard freely, as if it were an arm or a finger.
This is Graytouch's new ability, which can be called "mimicry".
But if we just add a mimicry effect, it seems to be a waste of a hundred years.
So in fact, the real special thing about Gray Touch now lies in the upgrade of its devouring ability and the linkage effect with mimicry.
First of all, her devouring ability is not just as simple as absorbing flesh and blood, replenishing magic power, and increasing distorted magic power.
She can also devour and deconstruct the underlying rune structure of matter. To put it bluntly, she copies the opponent's genetic information, and then combines it with mimicry to simulate the opponent's organs, thereby obtaining some of the opponent's innate abilities.
For example, Abella's spider-leg spear and corrosive magic, normally she would not be able to understand or analyze them.
But through the new linkage of "devourment" and "mimicry", she can copy Abella's spider leg spear or other body organs, and then use these organs as a medium to release her corrosive magic without having to understand the underlying rune structure.
What's even more outrageous is that the objects devoured are not limited to organic matter, even inorganic matter such as ores and metals can be devoured and deconstructed.
This means that she can turn the distorted magic into an all-purpose material workshop. Whether it's the clothes on her body, the alloys needed to make equipment, or the high-end medicinal materials for refining potions, she can first devour and deconstruct them, enter them into the database, and then use her mimicry ability to copy them on the spot!
Isn't this invincible?
…Well, not really.
This ability to devour, deconstruct, and mimic is of course limited, and the source of the limitation is the distortion magic itself.
As everyone knows, Yvette's distortion magic can only increase through devouring. If she encounters a first-stage deformed form, her devouring ability will even be at a loss, and the total amount will decrease instead of increase.
The same is true for devouring, deconstructing, and mimicking. Each process consumes a huge amount of distortion magic power, and if the target's nature is too rare or the deconstruction is too complicated, the consumption in this process will be even more exaggerated.
Therefore, although she can use the ability of devouring and deconstructing to enrich her database, she must make choices and trade-offs. Only the extremely precious ones are worth entering into the database.
Otherwise, she would swallow everything she saw and put it into her body. Not to mention her current 200,000+ distortion magic power, even if it was 2 million, it would be used up in a few seconds.
——Don’t think that she used Abella as an example. If you really want to enter Abella completely from head to toe into the database, 20w distortion magic is just a drop in the bucket.
…
Standing there, after thinking about countless applications of the "mimicry" ability, Yvette smiled, retracted her tentacles, and turned to look at the three-story villa behind her.
At this time, under the maintenance of the AI skeletons, the villa a hundred years later did not appear to be dilapidated and deserted. Instead, it was closely integrated with plants such as vines, exuding a sense of warmth and vitality, just like in Hayao Miyazaki's animated films.
But the next second, she suddenly discovered that there was a faint orange-red light swaying in the lattice window on the first floor of the villa.
Anyone there?
Yvette was surprised, thinking that a hundred years had passed, how come there were signs of use in the house, and even the fire was still burning?
Bingyu has been sent back to the mainland by Abella, and Abella will definitely not come back. After all, she is a deformed being. She can just play the role of a maid. It is impossible for her to stay in the manor for a hundred years.
Who could that be?
Could it be...
In an instant, a name emerged from the bottom of her heart.
She immediately became nervous, like an innocent little boy about to meet his first love. She trotted forward, pushed the door open, and looked inside.
A warm breath filled the air, carrying the distinct aroma of burning pinewood, mixed with a relaxing, sleepy warmth. The fire in the fireplace cast a dancing golden veil over everything in the room.
Yvette's eyes were fixed on the living room, where she saw a tall figure in a black and white nightgown, with a delicate and charming profile, her snow-white long legs exposed, curled up on the sofa to rest.
She walked over immediately, and after a moment, sighed in disappointment.
Why is it Abella...
But soon, she became confused again, thinking that it had been a hundred years, why was Abella still here? Had she been guarding here all the time?
No... Impossible... This isn't something aberration would do, and it's not in line with Abella's style... Even if she wanted to pretend to be loyal, she could only do it for a few years at most. There's no way she'd stay that long...
Could it be that she comes back to the island to visit me every once in a while, and it was the centenary year, so we met by chance?
Thinking of this, Yvette's eyes softened and she smiled again.
She thought that although she didn't see the eldest disciple she longed for the most, she could feel Abella's sincerity towards her, which was not a bad feeling.
It seems I can consider turning her maid into a full-time disciple... The "Earth Demonic Codex" and the "Heavenly Punishment Demonic Codex" were already completed a long time ago and have been sitting in the cabinet gathering dust. I'll hand them over to her from now on...
She nodded in relief, gently reached out her hand and rubbed Abella's head. Then she heard her mumbling a few times such as "Master...don't...", and her legs rubbed against each other unnaturally.
Yvette didn't take it seriously, nor did she rush to wake her up. She turned and looked at the round table in the middle of the living room.
A mountain of snow-white manuscript paper lay piled high on the table, nearly crushing it. Several thick notebooks with worn covers and varying handwriting lay spread out haphazardly, ink bottles and quills scattered among them. It looked like a scholar's study, and even the air seemed to be filled with the fragrance of knowledge.
"Is this true..." Yvette was really shocked this time. She could never have expected that Abella would use the hundred years of her absence to study hard and make progress in the manor!
Is this still Abella?
She actually has such a studious and hardworking side?
Shouldn't she be like Dugrabi and learn magic by only learning the ready-made knowledge and ignoring any theoretical knowledge related to the underlying principles and logic?
As expected, people change, even deformed people... After a hundred years, even Abella seems to be growing up well...
Yvette felt more and more relieved. She walked to the table curiously and picked up a notebook that had just been opened but not closed. She wanted to see what Abella's learning direction was and where the progress bar was.
Then she saw the title written in beautiful cursive at the very front of the note.
——"Yvette's Diary of Depravity 503: Futanari and the Seedbed".
Her smile froze on her face.
Oh my god, I messed up the computer time by using VPN. It's already past 12 o'clock and I didn't even realize it. I'm so annoyed. I'll post one chapter first, then the second chapter, and so on.
